Chapter 399: The Squinting One's moment of faith

The Squinting One's moment of faith

Just as Zhang Jizu finished the last stroke on the monument and was about to stand it up, his vision went black without warning.

But he didn't panic, just closed his squinting eyes directly, and opened a slit quietly when his consciousness returned.

Of course, this was just his feeling, because he had turned into a pale skull.

As he expected, when his vision returned to normal, he saw the familiar fish-bone stairs under his feet, the towering bone seat on the stairs, and the huge skull sitting on the bone seat.

【Death】!

His Benefactor summoned him again.

"Praise the great God of 【Death】." Zhang Jizu greeted devoutly.

At this moment, there were too many doubts in his heart, so many that he really wanted to follow up and ask if this trial was really the trial given to him by 【Deception】 as Cheng Shi said, but before he could speak, that Lord interrupted his words.

His tone seemed flatter than ever, making it impossible to guess His thoughts.

"You, did, very, well.

My, and, 【Deception】's, deal, has, been, completed.

As for, what, you, think, in, your, heart...

I, although, do, not, get, along, with, 【Deception】, but, I, have, to, admit:

【Void】, is, far, more, suitable, for, this, era, than, 【Life】.

Faith, will, eventually, move, towards, unification.

So, if, you, want, to, walk, on, the, path, of, 【Deception】...

I, do, not, oppose.

But, you, must, remember:

On, His, path, world, past, future, all, have, no, truth."

Saying this, green flames flashed in the eyes of the huge skull, and a small skull shot out from the skull torrent beside the fish-bone stairs and rolled to Zhang Jizu's feet.

Zhang Jizu was still pondering the meaning of his Benefactor's words, when he heard that Lord continue:

"【Life】, is, not, 【Void】.

But, 【Void】, can, accommodate, 【Life】.

If, you, really, want, to, approach, 【Void】.

Use, it, to, pray, to, Him.

I, think, 【Deception】, will, not, refuse."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jizu felt the ground shake, and a huge torrent of white bones suddenly lifted up before his eyes, rushing and scattering the entire fish-bone hall in front of him.

He floated in the void in a daze, and it didn't take long before he fell and returned to reality.

He put down the tombstone and took out the small skull bestowed by his Benefactor to examine it carefully.

This skull clearly carried the color of 【Deception】. Its face had no eye sockets or nasal cavities, not even teeth. All it had was a pale bone face, and on this bone face, there were only two long, thin eye slits, like the mask of 【Deception】.

But after looking at it carefully for a while, Zhang Jizu felt that this bone face looked so much like... himself?

The eye slits of ordinary masks are all upturned, because 【Deception】 likes fun the most, so the masks all carry smiles.

But this one in his hand, the corners of the eyes were flat, looking exactly like a stretched squinting eye...

So this is the token 【Deception】 left with that Lord?

Cheng Shi really guessed right, that trial was aimed at him?

However, was he being mocked?

Zhang Jizu's emotions became strange for a while. He remained silent, connecting all the details in this trial, and sorted out his thoughts over and over again.

Until he finished sorting out all the faiths, he realized that he really didn't have any other good choices.

【Life】 is all wild, 【Sinking】 ends in self-destruction;

【Civilization】 is conservative and rigid, 【Chaos】 is all crazy.

【Existence】 is suitable, but They don't seem to be interested in him.

On the contrary, 【Void】 inexplicably gave him a chance to choose...

【Fate】 is not something mortals can understand. Thinking about it this way, it seems only 【Deception】 is left...

Zhang Jizu rubbed the skull in his hand and made a decision after pondering.

He decided to apply another protective color to himself, if not for anything else, at least to ensure he wouldn't be left too far behind by others on the path of faith fusion.

So he whispered to the skull: "Don't distinguish..."

Before he finished speaking, he disappeared again.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the void. Looking at the endless darkness under his feet, Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes tightly.

And just as he narrowed his eyes, a pair of brilliant and gorgeous starry eyes opened in front of him.

The stars flashed like a melody, and the spirals turned like accompaniment. As soon as the eyes opened, the entire void seemed to be stained with His emotions, becoming cheerful.

This was Zhang Jizu's first audience with 【Deception】. Although he already knew the appearance of Deception from some people's mouths, when he really stood in front of a pair of starry eyes, he was still slightly nervous.

For the sake of steadiness, he first offered his praise.

"Praise the great God of 【Deception】."

It was the same set of things, just replacing the name of 【Death】 with 【Deception】.

The upturned eyes heard this sentence, and the corners of the eyes turned up even more sharply. He stared at the squinting one in front of him and laughed:

"As expected of the old bone's little bone, this dull appearance is exactly the same as His."

"..."

Just this one sentence stunned Zhang Jizu.

To be honest, he had heard some... rumors about the God of Fun, but he really didn't expect those rumors to be true!

He was actually a god who would satirize, ridicule, and even scold other gods!

You know, Zhang Jizu had only met three gods so far. 【War】 had never appeared, but whether it was his Benefactor 【Death】 or the 【Truth】 who was quite interested in him, their every word and action were like high-and-above 【Gods】.

But the one in front of him...

Why does he have the flavor of Zhen Yi plus Cheng Shi?

No, no, no, wrong, can't say that.

It should be said that Zhen Yi and Cheng Shi are worthy of being His believers, actually imitating their Benefactor so... similarly.

But Zhang Jizu couldn't respond to this, so he could only pull out a standard smile and remain silent.

The eyes saw him not speaking, turned slightly, and teased again:

"Why, could it be that the old bone is your second faith, and you chose...

【Silence】 at the beginning of that destiny?"

"..."

It had nothing to do with 【Silence】 originally, but your sentence sent me to 【Silence】.

Zhang Jizu was embarrassed and speechless. In order not to leave a bad impression on his first audience, he could only bite the bullet and answer:

"True God, please forgive me, forgive my offense, I feel that I am not... very compatible with your will, so I have always been very confused, why on earth did you... take a fancy to me?"

"Oh? Since you don't agree with my will, why pray to my token?

Do you know this is a great sin of blasphemy!"

Saying this, the eyes narrowed like the squinting one, and the cheerful atmosphere in the void instantly collapsed, and endless cold wind was born out of thin air.

The wild wind roared and blew, as if it could tear this blasphemer above the void into pieces in the next second.

Zhang Jizu felt that the flesh and blood of his limbs were losing consciousness, and even his vitality was dissipating rapidly, but he was not afraid, but suddenly not so nervous. He looked at the eyes above his head with some realization and said seriously:

"There is no truth in the kingdom of the great 【Deception】, so you are not angry, everything in front of me should be an illusion."

"..."

Now it was the eyes' turn to be silent.

I saw the slightly narrowed eyes slowly open, the stars stopped flickering, and the spirals stopped turning. He sighed as if he had lost interest:

"A bit of understanding, but not much. A bit interesting, but not much.

This is why I hate the pen-pusher. He is too boring, boring like a real piece of wood.

You are the old bone's believer, don't learn from the pen-pusher to be so serious.

But you were wrong about one point, hee~

I am not angry, but that doesn't mean the void storm is an illusion."

As soon as this sentence fell, Zhang Jizu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't have time to think about who the so-called pen-pusher was, only feeling that his forehead and back were instantly covered in cold sweat.

Because he found that his vitality was really not much left, and no matter how he drove his hands and feet, his frozen hands and feet could no longer move.

Broken, there is reality in the void, and there is void in reality. His thoughts and attitudes are truly more difficult to fathom than other existences!

The eyes saw Zhang Jizu's nervous appearance and laughed again:

"Not bad, I have already started to look forward to you lying."

Saying this, the eyes blinked slightly, the stars connected into lines, and a laughing mask was born out of thin air, slowly falling in front of Zhang Jizu.

"Alright, the audience ends here.

I have to rush to the old bone's place to mock Him twice, otherwise, today is too boring.

Gone."

"..."

Zhang Jizu looked at 【Deception】 who disappeared in front of him and was speechless. If it weren't for the power of the 【Void】 God that he couldn't resist, he would have even thought he had met Zhen Yi once.

Thinking of Zhen Yi, his eyes narrowed again.

So she was "born" like this!?

Zhen Xin's terrible and annoying secondary personality was actually imitating... Him?

Then what about Cheng Shi, is he also doing this kind of thing?

Thoughts were mixed in his mind, and his consciousness kept falling. When Zhang Jizu opened his eyes again, he returned to the graveyard in reality, and the skull in his hand...

His hand was frozen and rotten by the wild wind of 【Void】, and the skull in his hand had been replaced by a laughing mask, falling to the ground.

He treated himself helplessly, and didn't have the strength to pick up the mask at his feet until dusk fell. Looking at this second faith prop that belonged to him, Zhang Jizu muttered with a complex expression:

"【Deception】...

Cheng Shi was right, His existence seems to be for fun, He looks forward to seeing new fun in himself.

Don't distinguish between true and false, don't discuss void and reality.

It sounds like He doesn't care at all, but is this path really easy to walk?

Forget it, since I have taken this step, I will not regret turning back.

Speaking of which, if 【Deception】 and 【Death】 can be fused, then the boundary between real death and fake death...

Isn't it not so clear?" ===== CHAPTER 400 =====
