Chapter 404
Blow the whistle, talking on the phone has no feeling
Cheng Shi didn't want to share his memories, so he deceived Long Wang.
But this wasn't really a deception, after all, he didn't really hear the story about Avros.
If one had to argue, it could only be said that two believers of 【Deception】 had a small exchange through a brief phone call, and Cheng Shi felt he had won by a small margin.
But just knowing Avros's identity couldn't solve Cheng Shi's doubts. What he wanted to understand wasn't an identity, but the reason why 【Birth】 and 【Deception】 pushed Avros in front of him.
The trial was bestowed by 【Birth】, but the one who ended up having a connection with him was a Messenger of 【Filth and Depravity】. Is this reasonable?
This is unreasonable.
Cheng Shi was very confused, so after thinking for a moment, he made another call. He wasn't sure if it would go through, but to his surprise, the call actually connected.
A voice mixed with elegance and a hint of charm sounded on the other side:
"Hello?"
Hearing this long-lost voice, Cheng Shi couldn't help but shiver.
He clearly hadn't said a word, just let out some breathing sounds, but the person on the other end seemed to have guessed something, asking with slight surprise:
"Cheng Shi?"
"..."
No, you guys have all unlocked it, right?
You can tell it's me just by breathing?
Cheng Shi was numb; he laughed dryly and greeted while curling his toes: "Hu Xuan, long time no see."
The person on the other side laughed, laughing happily.
"Indeed, it's been a long time. Where is the Nightfall Spring Whistle I gave you, why didn't you blow it?"
"..."
Big sister, do I dare blow it?
If I blow it once, I'm afraid the population on this roof will go from 1 unit to 3 units, or even more!
You can't blow this whistle under normal circumstances!
Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, and he laughed it off:
"Blowing the whistle is quite disturbing to the neighbors; my neighbor across from me doesn't have good sleep quality, I'm afraid of disturbing him.
See, calling is also quite good; as soon as I knew you had a phone, I contacted you immediately."
"Is that so, so I have to thank Baldy?"
As she spoke, Hu Xuan on the other side actually laughed. Even without seeing that smile, Cheng Shi still felt an impulse related to 【Birth】 rising in his subconscious!
She had become stronger again; even her voice was starting to carry His colors!
Hu Xuan chuckled and continued:
"When she ran into me yesterday, I was still considering whether to accept this thing to strengthen the connection with a new friend. It seems I accepted it correctly.
You are the first friend to call me, Cheng Shi, I am very happy."
Ah?
No, ah?
What do you mean by yesterday?
Sister, that sentence I just said, "As soon as I knew you had a phone, I contacted you immediately," was purely polite, not true at all!
"..." Cheng Shi was dumbfounded; he never expected that a casual polite remark could bury himself. He blinked in confusion, then hurriedly explained, "I..."
"Everyone outside is spreading the story of you and Zhen Yi... is it true?"
"I..."
"I remember you don't get along with her sister; could this be your way of taking revenge on her sister?"
"I..."
"Since that's the case, can giving me a child also be considered a way of taking revenge on her?"
"Ah? No, I..."
"Blow the whistle, talking on the phone has no feeling.
I guess you didn't call me just to reminisce. Coincidentally, I also have some things to give you, so...
Blow the whistle, Cheng Shi, whatever you want to know, I can tell you."
"..."
Sister, I'm so scared, let me say a word.
Cheng Shi wanted to hang up the phone, but he could tell that the thing Hu Xuan mentioned seemed... to be a good thing!
Bad, it seems there are sequelae after being influenced by Avros; there is a greed in his heart devouring his reason!
Things that can be sent out by a 【Birth】 Chosen and an 【Eternal Sun】 candidate must not be ordinary items. Why not take something for free?
But soon he dismissed this thought.
No, Cheng Steady, you can't be muddled; this thing is very likely to be exchanged for a life, or perhaps it was originally a life!
Remember the words of that lord, greed is the way to take one's own life!
Just when Cheng Shi's brain was in a mess and he was still struggling with whether to risk his life, he suddenly thought of a question, which was:
In reality, how could Hu Xuan get over here?
He was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief:
"You succeeded?"
Hu Xuan smiled:
"Not yet, but I am already on the right path.
Ever since I met you, 【Fate】 seems to have started to show favor to me, so...
I have to thank you.
Relax, I cannot break the shackles of the 【Convention】; I am just looking at you from far away.
Hmm, looking at you once is enough."
Cheng Shi's gaze condensed: "You even already know about the 【Convention】."
"Are you surprised?
Compared to me knowing about the 【Convention】, the fact that you know about the 【Convention】 is what surprises me.
I really don't have the blessing.
And I regret it a little; if at that time..."
"Stop stop stop, hold it, Hu Xuan, I'll only ask one question, you want me to blow this whistle, it has nothing to do with blessing, right?"
The other side was silent for a moment, then chuckled again: "Yes, it has nothing to do with blessing, but it has to do with... Him."
Him!?
Who?
【Birth】!?
Cheng Shi frowned, thinking to himself, did He leave half of the things He wanted to pass to him with Hu Xuan?
But this is too mysterious; how did He predict that he would call Hu Xuan?
Or is it that no matter whether he made this call or not, He would arrange another encounter, letting Hu Xuan bump into him?
If so, then wouldn't it be unavoidable?
Cheng Shi frowned and pondered for a long time, still deciding to trust Hu Xuan once.
If what she said was true, then this friend was indeed worth making, but if it was false, then that would be even better.
A phone call can identify a so-called friend, which isn't too much of a loss.
So Cheng Shi responded, hung up the phone, tremblingly took out the Nightfall Spring Whistle from his personal space, carefully placed it to his lips, and blew it lightly.
A crisp and bright sound rang out from the whistle, making one feel passionate and full of energy upon hearing it.
Just as Cheng Shi felt that this energy wasn't quite right, he suddenly discovered that his hands had turned white.
But soon he realized it wasn't his skin color that had turned white, but the roof... was brighter!
The sunlight became increasingly blinding.
Cheng Shi was shocked, as if he had thought of something. He looked up at the sky in disbelief, and then he saw a giant sun, no less than the real sun, rising majestically before his eyes!
Right above the roof!
Within arm's reach!
!!!
Cheng Shi was wide-eyed and his scalp was tingling; he had never imagined that the meeting Hu Xuan mentioned would be this kind of meeting!
No, sister, you call this looking at me once?
You wouldn't melt all my belongings on this roof, would you!?
Cheng Shi swallowed his saliva, recalling the moment he fled in a panic under the rain of fire of 【Wrath of Abomination】 a few months ago.
And this scene before him, how similar it was!
