Everyone Has Their Own Path

"I think this invitation from the 'future' wasn't passed to me through the blind man's mouth. Her prophecy isn't full-score, so the 'future' doesn't necessarily have to come.

But I discovered in Zhen Yi's memory that she seemed to have noticed the existence of someone in the void, but like me now, she didn't find that person's figure.

She had no patience, so she gave up. But I think the 'future' that could make her notice must be 'future' acting deliberately.

You, are probably the... Cheng Shi from the future?

I'm not sure which 【Time】 you come from, and I'm not sure which specific 【Existence】 you come from, but based on my understanding of Cheng Shi—hmm, from the understanding of Cheng Shi in Zhen Yi's memory—his future perhaps won't be that simple.

So if you really wanted to hide yourself at that time, then my unreliable sister definitely wouldn't have discovered any clues.

Therefore, Zhen Yi's suspicion was your invitation, right? You deliberately revealed a trace of flaw but didn't let her find you, probably just to invite me?

It seems we have some intersection in the future, and you also know that my unreliable sister can't be relied on, right?

Hmm, I've said enough. My time is limited. If you still don't appear, I'll assume you've given up this chance to meet, and the invitation is void."

Although Seeing Zhen Xin's words were reasonable, the void still didn't respond, remaining as quiet as ever, making people panic.

Seeing Zhen Xin frowned, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that she might have been tricked by a "future."

"His" purpose didn't seem to be her, and she might just be a part of his invitation. He used her curiosity to attract her just to complete another invitation of "his," and who this invitation was for was actually quite easy to guess.

Among the four people who experienced this in the house, three could be directly excluded: herself, Aunt Jing, and Hong Lin, so...

This "future" who is suspected to be Cheng Shi is issuing an invitation to the current Cheng Shi!

He threw out bait and waited for the fish to take the bait, and she was that stupid fish, stupidly biting the bait and becoming a part of this invitation!!

Good! Good! Good!

Truly a liar!

Seeing Zhen Xin smiled. She wasn't willing to be tricked like this, so she prepared to do something in the void that would be enough to make the entire secret invitation plan go bankrupt, which was...

Attract the attention of 【Fraud】!

She smiled lightly and recited the prayer:

"Do not distinguish between true and false, do not discuss reality and illusion!"

But after this prayer was recited, the void still didn't move, with no reaction!

Seeing Zhen Xin's smile suddenly froze on her face, and her heart sank.

What does the void having no reaction mean?

This means that Cheng Shi's "future" or "future Cheng Shi" already has the ability to shield 【Fraud】 in the void!

He really isn't simple!

And this also shows that he is here, and the person he is waiting for is definitely not her!

Now, being unwilling is useless.

Not being slaughtered as fish on the chopping block is the best ending...

Thinking of this, Seeing Zhen Xin pursed her lips in shame and anger, and turned into smoke to leave the void.

And after she left, a faint laugh sounded in the void, as if someone was laughing in the dark, but listening carefully, it sounded like Seeing Zhen Xin's own laughter swinging back from the depths of the void.

The perspective returns to the present, to the Sighing Forest where Seeing Zhen Xin and the Royal Sister puppet stand side by side.

When Seeing Zhen Xin said "He perhaps isn't now, but in the future, he definitely will be," the Royal Sister puppet's expression was slightly startled:

"You seem to know him very well?"

"Not really. I didn't carefully read his memory, just looked at the part I wanted to know. Zhen Yi, on the other hand, didn't see it as an outsider and saw quite a bit. She should have told you, Aunt Jing?

What kind of person do you think he is?"

The Royal Sister puppet recalled for a moment, and a trace of pity suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Cheng Shi, he is a person as lonely as you."

Seeing Zhen Xin was stunned, and then smiled.

"I can't be considered lonely; I have Aunt Jing, I have Mingyu..."

The Royal Sister puppet shook her head and interrupted Seeing Zhen Xin's words: "We aren't often by your side."

"Then... at least I still have Zhen Yi."

"It's precisely because of Yiyi that I think you are as lonely as Cheng Shi.

Sigh, have you ever thought..."

"No!" Seeing Zhen Xin suddenly said firmly, "Although she always finds trouble for me, I think it's quite good."

"Good, if you like it that way, it's fine." An Jing smiled gently and didn't speak again.

"Let's not talk about these meaningless things. Let's talk about something else. I'm very curious, Cheng Shi has the Master of Deception on him, just now...

I was able to deceive him because I borrowed Zhen Yi's Master of Deception, so how did Aunt Jing deceive him?

Little Xiao Caiwei can't have a Master of Deception, right?"

Seeing Zhen Xin smiled, blinked, touched the little girl in the Royal Sister puppet's arms, and then looked at Aunt Jing's eyes with suspicion.

"Are you talking about the God-Worshiping Society?"

"Mm."

The Royal Sister puppet smiled frankly: "I didn't deceive him."

"?"

Seeing Zhen Xin's face changed. She widened her eyes, seemingly thinking of something.

The Royal Sister puppet didn't let Seeing Zhen Xin ask more, but confessed herself.

"I did join the God-Worshiping Society, and I really want to go deep into this Sighing Forest to see."

"Aunt Jing, you..."

Seeing Zhen Xin's pupils shrank, and she pursed her lips tightly.

She never expected that those words in the tribe's main house were actually true. Her Aunt Jing actually really wanted to take a look at the Final Tomb of Septic Blood. How dangerous that place is, no one can say for sure; how could she want to go there...

"Aunt Jing, you lied to me."

The Royal Sister puppet smiled and touched Seeing Zhen Xin's hair: "You know I can't lie to you. Just as you said, you are one of the people who can lie best in this world, and I, just an ordinary 【Silence】 walker, how could I lie to you."

"Then you..."

"Shh, listen to me. Since Xiao Caiwei died, I haven't had any worries except for you and Mingyu."

As she spoke, the Royal Sister puppet also touched the little girl in her arms. The little girl closed her eyes and enjoyed this touch very much, but looking closely, one could observe that her expression was no longer as vivid as the Royal Sister puppet's at this time.

"And now you and Mingyu have already walked ahead of me. For you two, I really have nothing to worry about.

As for myself...

I have been silent for too long, long enough to feel that I am peeling away from this world and becoming a passerby in this game. This is not good; this makes me lose the perception of being human, but most importantly, this will make Xiao Caiwei lose her mother.

So, it's time to change myself, otherwise I will truly fall into eternal silence until I die.

I am not afraid of death, but I want to watch you walk higher and further, and see if there is any chance in the future to become that Aunt Jing who can continue to take care of you."
