Chapter 299: Oh no, I've been tricked!

Oh no, I've been tricked!

Cheng Shi was stunned. He could tell that Hong Lin wasn't probing; she really needed this Focus Spell to make her mind more concentrated, but the problem was...

Big sister, I am a warrior of today!

I can't just switch my faith for a Focus Spell...

But sometimes reality is like this; you never know what absurd reason will push you forward.

At this moment, in a situation where only two people were left and they were united against the outside world, Cheng Shi couldn't not give this Focus Spell. He couldn't let the teammate relationship, which was still relatively cooperative, produce new cracks and doubts because of a small Focus Spell.

So, if switching faith is to continue the friendship and cooperation between the two, thinking about it this way... it feels much better!

Sigh, I can only comfort myself like this...

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, and he nodded. When Hong Lin turned back to pay attention to Erpuska's state, he secretly stretched out his finger to touch the shadow behind him. But it was this touch that made his whole brain "BOOM" and explode.

"What's wrong?"

The giant bear frowned. Seeing that Cheng Shi hadn't moved for a long time, a trace of suspicion rose in her heart. This weak suspicion might not affect the friendship the two had just established, but Hong Lin was indeed a bit suspicious of Cheng Shi's true identity.

According to what Tao Yi said, Cheng Shi should be a priest, and he also admitted that he was a Fate Weaver. But in this trial, he never revealed a trace of talent related to a priest, and even performed more like a warrior who was both physically and mentally capable.

She knew that some special faith talents could change professions, so she was wondering if the identity of Fate Weaver was also fake?

Is it possible that he is still lying!?

But just as this suspicion slowly increased as Cheng Shi's frozen time lengthened, Cheng Shi moved. He raised his hand and cast a Focus Spell on the giant bear. Not only a Focus Spell, but also a Spirit Spell, an Anti-Interference Spell, a weak Resistance Shield, and a Healing Spell with Divine Grace.

Feeling this real recovery power, Hong Lin was stunned: "You really are a Fate Weaver?"

Cheng Shi ignored her, his brows furrowed tightly.

Hong Lin thought that her suspicion had annoyed him, so she pouted in frustration and vented all her shame and anger on Erpuska, who was about to rush over.

The two behemoths collided again, but this time the giant bear directly grabbed the tree spirit's leg and whipped it on the ground like a broom.

Cheng Shi couldn't care about watching such a wonderful battle. At this moment, he only thought about one thing in his brain, which was why his shadow had changed!

Yes, Cheng Shi's shadow had changed!

The moment he touched his shadow, he felt that the state of the shadow was different from the past.

When switching faith before the trial to save the Puppet Master, the shadow's reaction was very agile, giving people a feeling that the shadow carried a trace of faith will.

But just now, Cheng Shi found that his shadow had become mechanical, emotionless, and seemed to be just a dull faith converter, losing all agile vitality.

Why did this change happen!?

Every change will affect the next situation, not to mention that this change happened to himself!

So he also cast a Focus Spell on himself and began to concentrate on thinking about what went wrong.

First, exclude the influence of the trial, because in the Sighing Forest yesterday, when preparing to switch faith to save the Puppet Master, he clearly felt the agility of the shadow. But today, this agility disappeared.

So, what happened in between that caused this change in the shadow?

Cheng Shi recalled all the things and details experienced between the two switches carefully, but still couldn't find any clues. The only biggest variable was that the Dream-Peering Ranger broke into his dream and died in the dream. But the problem was that he also entered the dream on the first night, and the switch on the second day didn't have this problem.

He couldn't figure it out. In frustration, he began to switch with his shadow again. After switching seven or eight times, he finally confirmed that it wasn't an illusion; the shadow had become dull.

But how could a shadow... without any changes in itself and without being touched by outsiders... become...

No! Wait!

Touch!?

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank. He suddenly discovered that he had missed one thing, which was that it wasn't that no one had touched his shadow!

That Puppet Master!

No, the historian puppet controlled by that Puppet Master, whom he felt was very strange, had touched his shadow!

And he also used shadow travel to dodge his attack by means of his shadow!

Was it her!?

That Puppet Master?

She discovered that his shadow had an abnormality?

Did she see it when switching faith yesterday?

Wait, still not right!

Cheng Shi began to lengthen the time of his memory. He remembered the scene before setting off on the second day. At that time, when preparing to set off on the altar, the historian was lowering his head beside him looking for something. At that time, he only thought that he was curious about the style and material of the altar, but thinking about it now...

Could it be that he was looking for his shadow at that time!??

Cheng Shi's face sank.

Oh no, I've been tricked!

That Puppet Master might not be a simple character!

Even if she really knew Zhen Yi, and Zhen Yi had told her about him, his talent for switching shadows was clearly acquired later. How could she know and start to be interested in his shadow?

This doesn't make sense, and it doesn't fit logic.

But this fits the cognition of a liar!

Cheng Shi's eyes condensed. After confirming that he was safe and sound, his brain began to run wildly.

He began to bring himself into Zhen Yi's perspective, starting from the other party obtaining all his surface memories, and deducing Zhen Yi's thoughts and purpose with a liar's thinking.

And thinking of this, the first thing he thought of was the prophecy that made the Chosen lose points:

Sun and moon alternate, above reality and illusion, the future has arrived!

After that trial that deceived Grand Marshal Hu Wei and Little White Strip Bai Fei, Cheng Shi always felt that this "the future has arrived" was likely just a farce. It was that blind man who prophesied that Zhen Yi impersonated him. But looking back at the current situation, is it possible that it wasn't a farce?

When the logical basis changes, some details that were previously deeply believed have completely different meanings.

For example, Grand Marshal Hu Wei's concern for him.

His good brother said at the time that he prayed for clues related to the prophecy, but ever since that "history class" in the Void Laboratory, he had been hiding in the dark and paying attention to everyone, and even appeared at the scene the first time after he contacted Little White. Looking at it this way, if it was just related clues, why would he be so concerned about him?

Clearly, he had already reached the Void Laboratory of the Tower of Rationality. Did he believe that there were no clues he wanted around?

No, perhaps he didn't need to care whether there were clues around at all. Is it possible that his prayer was about the person related to that prophecy?

After all, people can also be considered clues, so it's not a lie!

And this explains why he kept staring at him and Yan Chun. Sure enough, that so-called bullshit prophecy might point to him.

But in that trial, which was the suspected place of prophecy fulfillment, where was there any future?

His future was impersonated by Zhen Yi. The residents and divine messengers of Yuanmu Town couldn't see the future at all. Only one person could vaguely see the future, and that was Hu Xuan, who was recognized by 【Birth】.

But Hu Xuan has nothing to do with his shadow. Thinking about it this way, this Puppet Master who knows Zhen Yi has no reason to come to touch his shadow! ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
