Chapter 166

The Oath of the Heart-to-Heart Game, and, the Prisoner Speaks!

"..."

"..."

"..."

【Silence】 can always descend in time when people need Him most.

Ji Yue didn't care about the shocked gazes of the crowd at all and continued:

"I am a scholar seeking essence, a believer of 【Truth】 exploring laws; whether it was before the arrival of 【Faith Game】 or after it arrived, this point has never changed.

When I discovered that carrying a battlefield could better understand Him, my research began.

But scholars need steadiness, research needs calmness; if I don't eliminate His influence on me, I cannot go further.

So I came.

Because I have already found a way to eliminate the influence!"

She looked at Cheng Shi with burning eyes, seriously and frankly:

"That is the unwithering Whispering Petal on the Conjugate Whispering Tree.

Conjugate whispering has the power of virtual-real symbiosis, and its petals are the condensation of this power.

I only need to make a 'Twin Potion' with a petal and drink it, and I can split my soul and regenerate another me...

In this way, while I am enduring the contamination of 【War】, she can rest assured to study 【War】!"

"..."

Crazy, this world is all crazy.

Cheng Shi was already unable to complain.

This scholar is also a lunatic; she is so crazy that splitting a self is not to reduce her own pain, but to let the split soul do the research she loves most!

What is the difference between this and letting the clone play games and going to class yourself after learning to clone?

Ah?

You are too generous, sister?

But Ji Yue's experimental hypothesis wasn't over yet!

She seemed to have entered an academic state, immersed in the illusory excitement of the research she was about to start, and continued passionately:

"But the self born from conjugation has no form, and cannot do some substantial research work.

So, I had another idea!

After doing countless experiments, I found a unique usage of using undead talent to instill souls!

In this way, I only need to prepare a human corpse with enough wisdom, and then extract the soul of the other self born in the void, and integrate it into it!

Then...

... there will be a second me in this world.

The second scholar of the Void Quality and Energy system, Ji Yue.

And this is also the reason why I didn't trust you before.

Because, the Undead Transcendence Society...

... was established by me to find this method!"

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh, but this laugh couldn't open his mouth.

Fang Shiqing and the others wanted to cry, but this cry also couldn't make a sound.

I am just Li Gui meeting Li Kui, you guys are better, three cobblers pretending to be Zhuge Liang under Zhuge Liang's nose.

Fine, fine, really fun.

What else can I say?

Cheng Shi didn't say a word and stepped back politely.

Scared.

My mom didn't let me talk to lunatics.

Oh, I don't seem to have a mom, then forget it.

Cheng Shi sighed, his face becoming extremely strange.

He knew that from the moment Ji Yue finished her experimental hypothesis, it was his turn to start his story.

This knowledgeable scholar who had never said a lie was not just sharing her experiment, but building a bridge of trust between teammates.

She used this unreserved attitude to make a contract for the subsequent team cooperation, in order to eliminate all difficulties, no longer guard against the back, and go all out to snatch that...

... Whispering Petal.

And to complete this contract of absolute trust with her, Cheng Shi, or rather, the Fire-Keepers, must be frank and treat each other with sincerity.

The problem is, what the Fire-Keepers did, although not this kind of crazy experiment, was even crazier than the experiment.

Do they dare to say it?

Don't dare!

No one dares!

Even the Fire-Seeker Fang Shiqing could only step back for this kind of frankness.

Because they had already experienced a betrayal; if it weren't for accidentally bumping into the 【Fire of Hope】, the Fire-Keepers would have already been annihilated in the rolling waves of history along with the players eliminated by the game.

Now that this knowledgeable scholar who was about to reach 2600 points was so strong, where would they dare to expose the Fire-Keepers again in front of her.

Thus, the three Fire-Keepers were silent.

But they didn't dare, it didn't mean Cheng Shi didn't dare.

Seeing Ji Yue's enthusiastic eyes becoming increasingly cold as the silence lengthened, Cheng Shi pondered again and again, and still stood out slowly.

He coughed twice, attracting all eyes to himself, and then, began his sincere and frank heart-to-heart performance.

"【Fraud】 is above, witness this, everything I say next is without lies..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The silent silence was deafening.

The scene suddenly became a pilgrimage place for the prisoner; he even couldn't control the corners of his mouth.

Watching the various strange expressions of the crowd, Cheng Shi laughed dryly twice.

"Cough cough, just a joke, to ease the atmosphere.

However, scholar, prisoner, I need you to take an oath, an oath that even if this cooperation has no results, even if we have differences later, you will not share everything I said today with others.

Otherwise, we will never be able to walk on the same road.

Here, the void, is where we part ways."

Seeing Cheng Shi's serious and solemn appearance, Ji Yue raised her eyebrows, the prisoner... just watched.

"You are a smart person, Cheng Shi, you know that this kind of oath has no binding force."

"No, it has binding force."

Saying this, Cheng Shi took out from his portable space...

... a golden mask.

"Very obviously, this is His gift.

The two of you take an oath toward this mask; if you break the oath, then in the years to come, you will never be able to distinguish a lie again, and you will never be able to trust a truth again."

Ji Yue's eyes condensed, revealing shock.

"This is His gift? Impossible, I have never heard of a mask with this effect.

Cheng Shi, you have to know, I am a scholar of the Void Quality and Energy system, my understanding of the void..."

Cheng Shi hummed and laughed, directly interrupting her.

"He is not the void.

The void is just His toy."

"..."

Irrefutable.

Not only the void, but even the entire reality is His toy.

"I need to take a look..."

"No!" Cheng Shi interrupted Ji Yue's request again; he guarded the mask in his hand to death with a strong attitude that if you want to know big news, you must obey.

Ji Yue's eyes sank; her gaze swept over Fang Shiqing and the others, lingering for a long time especially on Cui Qiushi's face.

She had noticed before that this Order Knight was the most frank one and almost never lied.

But this time, she really didn't see any clues on his face.

Cui Qiushi also noticed Ji Yue's gaze, but he was incomparably frank in his heart.

I don't even know if it's true or false, and I don't know what Cheng Shi is going to do next, what's the use of you looking at me?

In this "confident" self-knowledge, Cui Qiushi survived Ji Yue's measurement.

Fang Shiqing had always been smiling, calm and abnormal, but her heart was also thinking about whether the mask in Cheng Shi's hand was real.

If it was, he was likely planning to confess the existence of the Fire-Keepers.

But what to do after exposure, whether the safety of the Fire-Keepers can be tied to an oath mask, these are all problems she needs to think about.

If it wasn't... then Fang Shiqing only needed to worry about whether he would lead the situation to uncontrollable collapse again.

At least situation collapse is easier to accept than the collapse of the Fire-Keeper organization.

Bai Ling was different; she wasn't thinking about anything in her brain now, just thinking about how to become Cheng Shi's "true one-day girlfriend."

The taste of 【Pollution】 became thicker in the process of Cheng Shi's mysterious image shaping.

Cheng Shi originally thought Ji Yue would hesitate, but he was wrong.

After measuring everyone's expression, this knowledgeable scholar took an oath toward the mask without dragging her feet.

"With this frank heart, I respond to 【Truth】, with this trust, I deliver to 【Fraud】.

I, Void Quality and Energy system scholar, Ji Yue, take an oath here.

Everything I heard today, if leaked, let me never see truth again in my life, and never see through lies again."

The speed of speech made Cheng Shi quite admire.

As expected of a scholar of 【Truth】, their confidence and decisiveness are exactly the same as 【Dementia】.

Watching Ji Yue complete the oath, Cheng Shi's gaze slowly turned to the prisoner.

"..."

"Brother, look open, you probably have no choice."

The prisoner gripped the shackles and lowered his head for a long time, finally yielding to the burning gazes of the crowd, and threw away the chains in his hand.

With a "Clatter," the chains fell to the ground.

He compromised.

This thin player moved his chin with his hand, and then, from his throat that hadn't made a sound for a long time, squeezed out a hoarse voice.

"Statement...

Prisoner...

1842...

I... have had enough... of lonely knocking...

So I... pray... to find...

... partners who can... walk side by side."

Cheng Shi raised his brow and looked at Fang Shiqing.

The moment the prisoner spoke, her eyes looking at Chen Shu were full of smiles.

Heard it clearly.

The song composed in this prisoner's heart is the song of hope, the song of order.
