Chapter 177: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, the Oriole is Behind?

The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, the Oriole is Behind?

Cheng Shi lied; obviously, he told an extremely unreliable lie.

But the art of lying lies in this.

In certain occasions, the more absurd the lie, the more it seems like the truth.

Cheng Shi was well-versed in this, so he deceived the five people on the scene, fabricating out of thin air an experimental result that the Tower of Reason and Quality had waited over five hundred years for but never received!

The offering to Nothingness, at this very moment, after sacrificing the trust of five people, gave him the most real feedback.

The fruit that the Conjugate Whisper had never borne and the flowers that had never bloomed appeared in his hands just like that.

Cheng Shi rewrote the script for this trial that should have yielded nothing.

He wrote a shocking reversal ending for the Fire-Bringers seeking petals.

However!

His script still had a problem.

Because in his conception, the other five new and old "Fire-Bringers" should have witnessed this moment together for the talent of "Offering to Nothingness" to take effect.

So when he saw that only four had come to the door, he panicked for a moment.

But just at the moment of panic, he thought of one more person!

Mo Wu!

That source of disaster he had injured would definitely not let it go at that.

Since he could endure in the players' team for four days for the sake of the petals, it meant he was also determined to get the petals.

So, when the teammates appeared here, was it possible that he had also come?

Using his dirty 【Chaos】 means to confuse everyone's cognition and cover his figure, just like when he left in a sorry state, making people unable to see him again.

And then secretly mix into the team and come here with everyone!?

But why didn't 【Giggling and Mocking】 make him appear?

The doubt just arose, and the answer followed.

Because...

This was probably also part of the fun?

Indeed, this really looked like the script He loved to watch.

Cheng Shi was speechless to the extreme; it really was success because of the Benefactor, and panic because of the Benefactor.

But things had reached this point, and there was no other way, so he, who had gained nothing, decided to gamble one more time.

This time it wasn't that he wanted to gamble, but that he really had no choice.

This was the only trump card that could reverse the ending.

Once more madmen saw his tricks, these believers of 【Chaos】 wouldn't wait to be deceived like normal people.

No one knew what they were thinking in their heads.

So in the narrow space of this highest laboratory, in front of the four teammates who stepped into the room, this was Cheng Shi's only chance to rewrite the ending!

So!

The good show began.

He began to perform according to the script he had written, intentionally revealing a corner when he turned to hide the bundle, letting everyone see what was in his hand.

And when his hand behind his back felt the ball of yarn and toilet paper originally wrapped in the clothes turn into the delicate fruit and petals, he knew he had bet right!

There was indeed an invisible person hidden in this room!

And this person was very likely the source of disaster!

He was wary of his thunder and also worried that there were too many teammates around.

So he didn't act rashly and was still waiting for an opportunity.

And Cheng Shi was also waiting for an opportunity.

He was showing the fruit openly, but his attention had long since not been on his teammates.

He watched everything and listened to everything, focusing on looking around, just wanting to give the source of disaster who came to sneak attack a surprise.

But he didn't expect Seeing Bai Ling to act a step earlier than him.

And the target of her action was actually a Prisoner he had never suspected!

But the Master of Deception clearly told Cheng Shi that this Prisoner had never told a lie?

No!

Wait!

Never told!?

Could he also be...

Cheng Shi widened his eyes violently, stepped back, and gripped the scalpel in his hand.

【Chaos】!

He was also 【Chaos】!

Damn, careless, I was careless.

Who said there couldn't be two believers of 【Chaos】 in one game?

Who said believers of 【Chaos】 couldn't disguise themselves as 【Silent】 singers!?

They were not only good at disguising, but could also tamper with everyone's cognition at any time, making it even harder for everyone to see through their identities!

It turned out there wasn't just one source of disaster in this game, but also a Lawless Musician!

The speed-up song this Prisoner had played wasn't a 【Silent】 song at all, but a 【Chaos】 howl!

Then was his score real?

Was his name real?

Then were everything he heard and the promises he made at that time real?

Probably none of them!

Then was the mask he thought had been fixed as a witness to the oath also invalid?

Damn, actually got played!

Should have thought of it earlier!

How could a believer of 【Silence】 be a rusty, rotten horn!

They clearly wouldn't make a sound!

The Benefactor had actually given him a hint long ago:

Rusty!

Lawless!

He was a Lawless Musician!

How could a believer of 【Silence】 blow himself up out of curiosity in 【Giggling and Mocking】!

So, his prayer of "having had enough of loneliness" was probably fake too!

The so-called companions, even if they existed, wouldn't be the orderly "Fang Shiqing"s, but those "Mo Wu"s who were keen on confusing others' sight and hearing!

He had actually been blinded by the information gap!

This Prisoner didn't know the identities of Fang Shiqing and the others, so he naturally made up a prayer he "thought was reasonable."

But he clearly knew Fang Shiqing and the others were Fire-Bringers and were unknown to the 【Gods】, yet he still ignored this point!

Careless, really careless!

No, perhaps it wasn't carelessness, but the talent of 【Chaos】 had affected his thinking.

All the scrutiny and speculation directed at this Prisoner had fallen into the quagmire of 【Chaos】, becoming disordered and powerless.

Cheng Shi's face was livid; the look he gave the Prisoner was full of solemnity.

The "teammate" who had been stabbed on the opposite side was definitely not a low-score Lawless Musician, but a high-level player whose rank was almost comparable to Mo Wu!

And looking at his appearance, he seemed to have even deceived Mo Wu!

Amazing!

Using the defeat of a companion to exchange for a thorough concealment!

This was an expert!

And a top expert who was good at judging the situation and playing with people's hearts!

"Interesting...

The Fire-Bringers really have something.

I'm curious, how did this little bird discover me?"

The Prisoner took the initiative to break the silence.

He unlocked the shackles on his hands, threw them on the ground, then rubbed his wrists, looking at Seeing Bai Ling and Cheng Shi behind Seeing Bai Ling with playful eyes.

"A 2400-point clown, hmm, played well.

But you were too careless.

You must know that when someone knows you are a clown, your trickery might lose its effect.

Not everyone is a fool.

Especially... us who are watched by Him.

However, your performance was still very attractive and worthy of a compliment."

Saying this, the Prisoner actually clapped.

"Clap clap clap!"

"I really didn't expect that this experiment maintained for hundreds of years had no result.

And the real result was actually fabricated out of thin air by a clown using the means of 【Deception】.

A very whimsical idea, but the plan was too hasty.

Your Fire-Bringer partners trust you very much, so they subconsciously ignored some rough details.

But there is always someone who won't be deceived, and the clown's blindfold will always be seen through by these careful audience members.

But fortunately, you met me!

If I hadn't tampered with my self-cognition, believed your lie, and influenced that source of disaster, making him believe it deeply, perhaps...

The white flowers and black fruit in your hands would still be a pile of trash.

Ha!

Hand them over, hand them over, and I'll spare your lives.

History is so interesting.

All historical materials record that the believers of 【Chaos】 took it away; now it seems they really guessed right.

It's just that they didn't expect that the one who took this fruit and these petals would be me." ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
