Chapter 362: Confrontation, [Annihilation] God-Chosen!

~10 min read 1,926 words

Confrontation, 【Annihilation】 God-Chosen!

(6000!)

Before the Cleaner appeared, Cheng Shi had actually vaguely guessed some of the reasons why he attacked the other teammates.

When this 【Annihilation】 warrior chose to attack the two inside the high wall at the Tribunal instead of him and the squinty-eyed one, Cheng Shi had been thinking about the reason. It wasn't until he met the 【Foolish】 believer at the entrance again, and under her unintentional reminder, that he suddenly realized: this hunt might really have something to do with the cakes Mo Shu gave out at the start.

This person is really interesting.

He is hunting the three people who didn't eat the cake!

But he clearly knew that everyone would be wary of strange teammates at the start, especially wary of strange food provided by strange teammates, yet he still chose to hide the "key to safety" in the cakes he made himself.

So why is this?

A sick sense of humor?

Or a trust test for strangers?

No, it shouldn't be such an absurd reason. As a high-scoring 【Annihilation】 believer, he shouldn't be so bored.

Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to think deeply, because the person involved was right in front of him. Thinking about it over and over wasn't as good as asking directly.

People have mouths to ask questions. The more questions asked, the fewer misunderstandings there will be.

So Cheng Shi looked at this "teammate" who appeared suddenly, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

"Completely deleted?"

Mo Shu turned his head to look at Cheng Shi, curled his lips, and said meaningfully:

"Cheng Shi, you're not bad.

I haven't been matched with you, but you can recognize me. So, did that skeleton Skull Xiaoqiang tell you?"

Skeleton Skull Xiaoqiang...

As expected, nicknames are always the ugliest when given by opponents.

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched. He tried hard not to laugh out loud in front of the squinty-eyed one's opponent. He bit his lip hard, just praying to press down this corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress no matter what, otherwise, it would be too unfair to his friendship with the squinty-eyed one.

However, just from this one sentence, Cheng Shi could also infer that this Cleaner hadn't been following them all along. At least when he was communicating with the squinty-eyed one and Tian Xie, the other party hadn't heard it.

Speaking of which, it was strange. He was probably used to facing top-tier players face-to-face. At this moment, seeing a God-Chosen standing in front of him, he didn't have any special feelings. Instead, Tian Xie and Gao Ya behind him stiffened and their gazes became solemn after hearing the other party admit his identity so readily.

Cheng Shi just found it funny. As a priest, he was ultimately pushed to the front by his teammates. This scene felt like retribution for the countless times he had pushed his teammates to the front before. He shook his head and laughed, then looked at the Cleaner who was eager to move in front of him and asked with great interest:

"Why kill?"

Mo Shu wasn't like the high-scoring players he had encountered before, whose depth of city was unfathomable. He was very frank. Seeing Cheng Shi ask, he said without any scruples:

"They don't fit my Lord's will, so they should be killed."

After finishing, he smiled casually, as if annihilating teammates was just an insignificant matter.

"..." Tian Xie shivered and didn't dare to make a sound. Gao Ya frowned, very much wanting to mock him, but after weighing the situation, she chose silence.

Mo Shu's gaze swept over everyone, sneered, and said again:

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about how you discovered me?"

How did I discover you?

Guess whether I discovered you or not.

Cheng Shi smiled slightly, put on a mysterious look, and deliberately avoided this question, but continued along the topic just now:

"So you used a few cakes to test whether others fit the 【Annihilation】 will?

Isn't that too rash?"

Mo Shu saw that the other party didn't answer and didn't continue to pursue it. After all, experts have their own abilities, and there was nothing to investigate in detail.

"Rash? Perhaps, but it's very useful to me."

"Useful?" Cheng Shi frowned, not understanding what kind of usefulness it was.

"Hmm, useful.

I have always felt that there are too many existences in this world that shouldn't exist, and too many people who shouldn't be alive.

If 【Life】 continues, how can the universe move toward 【Annihilation】?

So everyone should die.

But I am just an ordinary 【Annihilation】 follower; it's impossible to annihilate everyone clean. That's too troublesome and too tiring.

So I thought of a way.

At first, I grabbed a Fate Dice from a 【Fate】 believer. At the start of the trial, I would kill as many people as the number I rolled, but after a few times, I always felt like I was harvesting for 【Fate】.

So I had to change the method, and the little cake was the second method I thought of.

Before They descended, I was indeed a pastry chef, keen on baking pastries, and the cakes I made were also very popular. But after the game started, I became an 【Annihilation】 believer. How can His followers be allowed to continue creating?

So I thought of a way to let my teammates help me annihilate my creations. In this way, I wouldn't feel guilty because of creation.

But some people are unwilling to pay their trust, trapped in the barriers of prejudice and unable to extricate themselves. Since they don't want to help me, why not let me help them?

Those without 【Annihilation】 in their hearts will be 【Annihilated】 by others; it's very reasonable, isn't it?

But as I killed, I suddenly discovered that when only 【Annihilation】 believers and those with 【Annihilation】 in their hearts remain in this world, wouldn't the 【Annihilation】 of the universe be right before our eyes?

So I became even more... even more convinced of the correctness of this path.

How about it, Fate Weaver? This is the path I walk. Do you think my philosophy is correct?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Brother, I can understand every word you say, but when put together, it's really too abstract. I really can't agree.

Also, I don't know about annihilation, but you are at least somewhat 【Prosperity】!

Cheng Shi was numb. He deeply felt that the essence of every top-tier player was crazy—from Hu Xuan to Zhen Xin to Mo Shu, without exception.

But the one in front of him was especially crazy!

Because he actually used whether or not to eat cake as a screening condition for hunting teammates!

This is too outrageous and too absurd.

Cheng Shi originally felt that there might be some meaning hidden deep in this cake that he couldn't understand, but the facts proved that he thought too much.

The other party just felt that killing everyone was too tiring, so he found an excuse to deceive himself and let go of some lucky ones.

This reason, which was like child's play, really made people laugh and cry.

But the ones crying were the unlucky ghosts who didn't eat the cake, and the ones laughing were those lucky ones who were not picky about food.

In this way, I still have to thank you for not killing me...

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh, but couldn't. His expression was extremely stiff. He suddenly felt that this Cleaner didn't look like an 【Annihilation】 believer at all, but rather like a 【Filthy Fall】 believer possessing 【Annihilation】 power.

He was clearly releasing his desire for slaughter without any restraint.

Tian Xie thought the same, so he was even more afraid, to the point that he directly ignored who the "Fate Weaver" in Mo Shu's mouth was.

He hid behind Cheng Shi and kept observing the time, wanting to survive this day and then quickly leave this dangerous place through deduction methods.

And the 【Foolish】 believer thought of more.

She was noncommittal about Mo Shu's 【Annihilation】 path, but was very interested in Cheng Shi's identity. When she heard the other party call Cheng Shi Fate Weaver, she was slightly stunned and said in a low voice:

"You really are that Cheng Shi!"

"..."

Is now the time to discuss this?

Cheng Shi's thumb had been lightly buckled on the ring. He pretended to be relaxed, clapped his hands, and echoed:

"A very profound understanding, but I have a question.

Since your 【Annihilation】 path is so pure, why choose to embrace 【Memory】?"

Mo Shu raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and laughed:

"I knew I couldn't hide it from that Skull Xiaoqiang.

Not bad, I did indeed have an audience with Him, and He did indeed grant me some power.

After all, the method of sending cakes at the start is too obvious. If I don't let everyone forget my existence, perhaps on the second day after a certain trial ends, all players will know to eat a bite of cake at the start.

But you and he both guessed wrong. I haven't decided whether to embrace 【Memory】.

【Memory】 belongs to 【Existence】, and 【Annihilation】 doesn't want 【Existence】 to exist.

Therefore, compared to embracing 【Memory】, I am more inclined to choose 【Deception】."

"?"

Cheng Shi's brows were tightly furrowed. He heard it; Mo Shu's words were not a joke about 【Existence】, but that he really had the opportunity to choose 【Deception】!

What's the situation?

The God of Fun has summoned him?

Could it be that this is a player He has taken a fancy to, so he is also a friendly force?

It doesn't feel right.

Cheng Shi looked at the opposite side and asked uncertainly: "What does this have to do with 【Deception】?"

"Of course it has to do with it.

He also summoned me. Although I didn't find where He was the whole time, He granted me some fun things."

Saying this, Mo Shu took out a clown doll with a big mouth and a red nose from his portable space.

"Clown Avatar, but this clown is not that clown." He rubbed the clown's red nose and smiled creepily, "This is a circus clown. This thing allows me to enjoy one more player identity, which is why I can switch to a 2100-point fish pond and cut a few more fish when I'm not having fun killing people in top-tier games."

!!!!!

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he suddenly realized.

So the Cleaner didn't lie; he is indeed an 【Annihilation】 God-Chosen, but he also has a 2100-point player identity!

However, this so-called Clown Avatar... is the directionality too obvious?

Did He really give it?

Did He give it to you or to me?

Cheng Shi blinked thoughtfully and quickly lowered his head.

Interesting. Looking at it this way, could the God of Fun's purpose in sending himself into this trial be to let him get this so-called Clown Avatar?

What, did He break up with 【Annihilation】, so He wants him to take back His grant to the 【Annihilation】 believer?

How can a god be so stingy?

But if this god is the God of Fun...

Hiss—don't say, you really don't say, the taste is too right.

Thinking of this, he raised his head with a smile again, but when he saw Mo Shu still rubbing the red nose of that clown doll, his whole person became uncomfortable.

Not brother, can you stop touching that clown's nose? You're making my nose itch too...
