Chapter 301: Invitation from the Void

Invitation from the Void

At the same time, on the other side.

After being let go by Cheng Shi, the Puppet Master walked alone in the Sighing Forest.

But this "one person" here was more numerous than the three people on the other side.

The Ranger puppet opened the way in front, the Historian puppet and the Royal Sister puppet walked side by side, and the Puppet Master's main body was held in the arms of the Royal Sister puppet as usual, with a pair of watery big eyes blinking and watching the historian beside her.

Not long after walking, she came to a boundary of the Sighing Sorrow Tide. Looking at the thick fog that couldn't be wiped away in the depths of the forest, the Ranger puppet at the very front said plainly:

"We're here. We've walked far enough, there's no one around, it's safe now."

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Qiu on the side nodded with a smile. He turned to look at the Puppet Master, but he wasn't looking at the little girl in the puppet's arms, but at the Royal Sister puppet standing side by side with him.

"Thank you, Aunt Jing, for acting with me."

The Royal Sister puppet's slightly stiff cheeks suddenly "came alive," and her expression became incredibly vivid, like a real person. She revealed a warm smile, like a kind mother.

"Did you find what you wanted?"

Zuo Qiu frowned slightly and shook his head.

"No, I was tricked."

"?" The Royal Sister puppet was stunned. "Tricked? You said that the place where you wanted to find things was told to you by Yiyi; how could she trick you?"

Zuo Qiu shook his head again.

"It wasn't Zhen Yi who tricked me, but the 'person' I wanted to find who tricked me.

He set up a game for Zhen Yi, tricked Zhen Yi, and then I took Zhen Yi's memory, so, I was also tricked.

He..."

As he spoke, Zuo Qiu looked into the distance at the direction of Cheng Shi and Hong Lin, and pursed his lips.

"Perhaps he has already discovered it."

Looking at Zuo Qiu like this, the Royal Sister puppet smiled and touched his hair, and this touch actually touched this historian wearing glasses and a windbreaker into a long-haired girl with agile eyes!

She was wearing a black short casual small suit, a pair of white straight-leg pants on her lower body, and a purple scarf on her snow-white shirt and double-breasted vest. Her mature and steady outfit revealed an unstoppable youthful vitality, which was out of place with this rotten and withered Sighing Forest.

The Royal Sister puppet touched the long hair of the girl in front of her and sighed:

"Xinxin, are you tired?"

That's right, this girl whose eyes flashed with shrewdness and planning was the first collection of 【Fraud】, Seeing Zhen Xin!

"Tired?" She shook her head again. "Not tired, just a bit disappointed to be used as a messenger.

There are always some people in this world who are very good at deceiving people."

"Are you one too?" The Royal Sister puppet smiled.

"Mm, I am too." Seeing Zhen Xin didn't deny it at all.

"Is he too?"

"He... perhaps not now, but in the future, he definitely will be."

Seeing Zhen Xin shook her head with a wry smile, and her thoughts returned bit by bit to when she stepped into the void just now!

Time pushes back to before everyone confronted each other in the main house.

Seeing Zhen Xin, who was playing the historian, was still wandering around in the tribe. She had already discovered many items related to the Tower of Rationality. Although most of these items were dismantled and remade into daily necessities, judging from the materials and styles, they could still be identified as coming from a certain laboratory of the Tower of Rationality.

Coupled with her understanding of certain great scholars of the Tower of Rationality, Seeing Zhen Xin quickly guessed which scholar was promoting this experiment and what the experimental content was.

But she didn't mention this to other teammates, because her purpose wasn't the experiment itself, but the prophecy from the blind man's mouth!

The prophecy had indeed not been fulfilled. The blind man's external statement was told by Seeing Zhen Xin. This 【Fate Chosen】 told a lie under the instruction of the 【Fraud Chosen】, and the two joined forces to deceive all the Chosen back.

And just as Cheng Shi thought, when Seeing Zhen Xin knew that he had impersonated Zhen Yi to eat a Conjugate Whispers fruit, and learned from Little White's mouth that he had also said a false prophecy, she vaguely felt that some unknowable change should have happened to Cheng Shi.

Because the blind man had told her that the future seen in this prophecy was a piece of black blur. Linking it to the reality-illusion-intertwined characteristic of Conjugate Whispers, she quickly locked onto Cheng Shi's shadow.

And at this time, Seeing Zhen Xin, who was pretending that her score was rising, began to wait for an opportunity. She knew that the probability of her matching with Cheng Shi was very small, so she began to activate her connections.

So in this trial, the moment her Aunt Jing matched with Cheng Shi, this Puppet Master pulled Seeing Zhen Xin from another trial and replaced the historian who only wanted to study the changes in the underworld!

So Cheng Shi's judgment was correct; the historian's identity was changed after gathering, but it didn't become a puppet, but Seeing Zhen Xin!

The things after that won't be repeated. Until that morning, Seeing Zhen Xin, who was wandering around, found that the Wilderness Lamp hadn't been reset, so she came up with a plan that could hide her identity and probe Cheng Shi's reality, which was a void entry plan that looked exactly like "shadow travel"!

And then she used the Wilderness Lamp to cause the old patriarch to panic and run to the main house, and before the Fungus-Foot people arrived, she pushed open the door of the main house one step ahead. Her Aunt Jing also acted as planned and refined the doomed Dream-Peering Ranger into her puppet.

Yes, Seeing Zhen Xin had long seen that the Ranger wouldn't live past the second night. She didn't believe Cheng Shi hadn't discovered the abnormality in his dream. When she tried to pass a message to Cheng Shi and was roughly changed the subject by Cheng Shi, she knew that Cheng Shi must want to do something in his dream.

Like him, a liar definitely wouldn't let others know his past, because in Zhen Yi's memory, he was such a person, so Seeing Zhen Xin was certain that the Ranger would die, and she had long ago set up a plan with the Puppet Master to transfer the focus with the Ranger's death.

The purpose was to hide her true identity, letting Cheng Shi rack his brains and only think of Aunt Jing's puppet.

But she never expected that this so-called prophecy in the blind man's mouth was just a game of that "future"!

She was also tricked!

When she quietly boarded the void through the position of Cheng Shi's shadow, she found nothing.

The pitch-black void was as quiet as ever, and there was no figure at all.

Seeing Zhen Xin stood in the void, frowning and looking around. After a while, she opened her mouth lightly, as if talking to herself:

"I'm here. I've come as invited. Come out."

But the void still didn't respond.

She frowned again and muttered:

"Does this count as... a test?

Fine, since you want to listen, I'll say it." ===== CHAPTER 302 =====
