Chapter 185

Cheng Shi guessed nothing.

Bai Fei followed closely behind; she had been silent the whole way, but finally couldn't resist her curiosity when they reached the door of the highest laboratory, and asked:

"How was the taste?"

Cheng Shi turned his head in astonishment, thinking that the ice-cold beauty behind him had been swapped out halfway.

What's the matter, sister, you finally couldn't help it, right?

I told so many lies that you didn't care about, but you just happened to want to know what that fruit tasted like?

Cheng Shi smiled happily: "Sweet, a sweetness that moistens the heart and spleen."

He lied.

The fruit "borne" by Conjugate Whispers is actually very bitter.

Before taking a bite, Cheng Shi really hadn't expected it to be so bitter, so bitter that he almost lost his ability to manage his expressions.

If it weren't for the steel-like taste buds he had honed over the past six months to withstand this bitterness, he would have almost cried out loud because of this rich, lingering bitterness.

Fortunately, he held it in.

But he had no choice.

Cheng Shi didn't want to dispose of this fruit so crudely, it was just that things fabricated by "offerings to the void" cannot be preserved for a long time, and he didn't have any information on how to process this fruit a second time, so, in order not to let this fruit obtained with such effort disappear in vain, and incidentally to set up a game to trick his good big brother, he had to swallow the bitter fruit in pain.

Bitter, too bitter, bitterer than his own life.

Not only bitter, but also useless.

Just like some... two-word term that only knows how to disgust people but is useless.

After eating, Cheng Shi looked inside his body carefully more than once, but he found that there was no change in his body at all.

It seemed to really just be an ordinary bitter fruit, with no other effect than stimulating his taste buds.

And these flesh and juices dissipated directly the moment they were swallowed into his stomach.

Yes, dissipated, not digested.

This made Cheng Shi very annoyed; he felt he might have become a joke.

But he didn't show it, instead, he cheekily and stubbornly said:

"What, you want to eat it too? Then I suggest you go ask the Blind One and see if she will make a prophecy for you too.

Hee~

I look forward to you inviting me to go with you to pursue your fruit!"

Bai Fei looked at Cheng Shi with a dark face for a moment, recovered her coldness, ignored him completely, walked straight past him, and headed toward the laboratory in front of them.

Because Conjugate Whispers grows extremely slowly, not every day does a great scholar sit in this laboratory at the highest point.

And thanks to the "Truth Flow Knowledge Sharing" principle practiced by the scholars of the Tower of Rationality, there are no excessive identity restrictions in the laboratory.

So the two of them walked into the laboratory swaggeringly in front of many scholars.

Bai Fei stood in the middle of the laboratory with a cold face and asked emotionlessly:

"Where?"

Where?

Let me think.

Cheng Shi began to recall everything that happened in this laboratory 200 years later, and began to deduce what choices the Fire-Keepers and that radical knowledgeable scholar would make when facing enemies surging like a tsunami.

But thinking about it, there was only one possibility, and that is... defend to the death first.

So the place where Cheng Shi is standing right now is very likely the battlefield where the Fire-Keepers will make their last stand 200-plus years later.

Tsk, sure enough, without me, they will end up very miserable.

Cheng Shi's gaze swept across this familiar laboratory, pointing to the dome of the laboratory and laughing:

"Let's put it there, think about it, when the great scholar is full of expectation and prepares to pick the fruit, only to find that the fruit on the tree has long since disappeared.

In his shock, he will definitely search everywhere for the thief who sneaked into the laboratory, but just at this moment...

Boom—

And then, there will be no then!"

Bai Fei sneered, her eyes looking at Zhen Yi with a hint of annoyance.

Only this darling of 【Deception】 would waste effort on such meaningless things.

To eat a fruit, she told a heaven-deceiving lie to trick all the Chosen, and to cover up her theft in the past history, she specially sent a firework delivery to the "future"...

No matter which of these two things you take out, it's not something a decent person would do.

The Grand Marshal has a point, meeting her...

It's really unlucky.

Let's end it quickly, all this annoying stuff!

Bai Fei's heart was churning with irritation, wishing she could shoot through this Void Laboratory with an arrow and throw all the scholars here who had witnessed her "embarrassment" to other worlds to offer to her benefactor.

However, irritation is irritation, but one point in Zhen Yi's words did indeed move her.

That is: when she buries a Silent Arrow here and detonates it 200-plus years later, will the history she rewrote with the power of 【Annihilation】 attract the gaze of her benefactor?

She has never had the honor of seeing Him.

If there is hope this time, then why not...

Offer a little more?

Besides, it's clearly a "firework" she made herself, why should she listen to Zhen Yi's arrangement?

Heh.

This time, I just don't want you to get what you want.

So Bai Fei silently took out her longbow and prepared to draw and shoot toward the place Cheng Shi designated.

But just at this moment, Cheng Shi spoke again.

"Little White Strip, this arrow of yours must shoot back here after 247 years, 4 months, and 3 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, and 18 seconds, not a single second can be wrong!

Otherwise, the promise won't count!

It's been 16 seconds, hurry, I'm counting for you."

"..."

Bai Fei was shocked by Zhen Yi's amazing memory, not knowing that Cheng Shi had just seen the date on the laboratory record twice during the "picking" time, and after doing a mental calculation, added a little time based on feeling, delaying this firework to when the Fire-Keepers were in a desperate situation.

She responded expressionlessly, and then silently shot that arrow.

But this arrow wasn't "one arrow" at all, but ten arrows fired at once!

The invisible arrows pierced through the deepest void at the dome of the laboratory, wrapping the arrow bodies with rich 【Annihilation】 power and forcibly merging them into the deeper void.

In this way, under the repulsion of the void, these arrows will be spat out in the future 247 years later, becoming a...

Grand firework of that era!

But the place where this firework explodes won't be the laboratory Cheng Shi requested that she is standing on now, but the moment the Silent Arrow is squeezed out by the void, it will turn into ten directions and shoot out, annihilating the entire Void Laboratory except for this laboratory!

Bai Fei prepares to use a grand "historical annihilation" as an offering, praying for His gaze.

By the way, let Zhen Yi's plan for this disgusting Tower of Rationality fall through!

This wave is a trap set by an 【Annihilation】 believer for a 【Deception】 believer!

Cheng Shi naturally "didn't guess" this trap.

He just watched Bai Fei finish everything thoughtfully, and then silently activated 【Surging Tide of the Hack】, rewriting the traces of this trap into history.

Thus, from this moment on, a firework paying tribute to the future was officially buried on the dome of the highest laboratory of the Void-Reality Conjugate Experiment.

After finishing all this, Cheng Shi waved at Bai Fei with a smile.

"The good show is over, I should go too.

I have to guard against you putting this trap in the present; if this broken arrow throws me into some terrifying Annihilation world when you leave, I will cry!

So, goodbye Little White Strip.

Looking forward to seeing you next time."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi turned and left.

Bai Fei watched him leave the void through the scholar passage in the laboratory without moving, frowning unconsciously.

Always have a feeling I've been tricked again.

But, when?

Thinking about it, it seems not.

Forget it, no matter if this 【Annihilation】 firework looks good or not, it's finally settled with this unlucky liar.

She glanced coldly at the busy scholars around her, resisted the urge to annihilate the dark history with an arrow, and cut open the void beside her to retreat back to reality.

The Void Laboratory seeking 【Truth】 returned to peace once again.
