Chapter 411

Zhang Jizu's Moment of Faith (Part 2)

After Cheng Shi returned to the rooftop, he took out the dice and mask more than once, praying frantically to the two Lords.

But praying back and forth had no results; no one summoned him.

This made Cheng Shi suddenly fall into tension; he wondered if something major had happened between them, so that the two Lords couldn't free themselves again.

If that were really the case, shouldn't he stop being noisy in their ears now?

But not knowing the cause and effect of this matter only made Cheng Shi feel like ants were crawling all over his body, completely unable to endure it.

So the pious believer began to brainwash himself, telling himself that these prayers were not meaningless noise, but a warning sound to help his Lord get out of the predicament.

He didn't feel there was any problem with a mortal being able to guide a True God out of a predicament, so he continued to pray with his eyes closed, thick-skinned.

Finally, after reciting the prayer countless times...

It was dark.

The void had no response.

At the same time, on the other side.

Reality, a cemetery in an unknown province and city.

Zhang Jizu spent half a day finally healing all the storm pain he suffered in the void; after becoming free, he took the mask token from 【Deception】 and climbed onto the roof of the duty room.

Tonight the moonlight was high, and the moonlight poured down like a waterfall.

He held the mask high, and the silver light shone through the eye slits that still looked like long strips onto his eyes, reflecting a pair of extremely confused eyes.

Zhang Jizu was very lost, because he failed.

The oracle walk failed.

Just now, he tried to put on the mask and perform an oracle walk; to tell the truth, that was the first time since the 【Faith】 game descended that he piously recited the prayer of another god; although that Lord had already approved this matter, this feeling always made him feel a sense of disloyalty like doing bad things behind that Lord's back.

But disloyalty aside, the problem was that the True God who bestowed the mask upon him seemed to have no response to his oracle walk.

He didn't feel a trace of response, nor did he find a trace of 【Deception】 power on his body; everything he experienced today was more like a real deception.

He, the God of Fun Lord of Cheng Shi and Zhen Yi, seemed...

... to have played him?

Could it be that the fun He wanted wasn't letting him walk on the path of 【Deception】 to create fun, but turning him into a joke?

Zhang Jizu couldn't be sure.

He was a person who was very good at analysis, but the premise was that the analyzed object could not involve Them.

But he was very curious, as curious as Cheng Shi who was reciting prayers on the rooftop, so he, who had always been steady, made a slightly bold decision; he was ready to ask Him again what was going on.

Of course, not asking 【Deception】, but asking his own Lord, 【Death】.

So Zhang Jizu took off the mask, randomly picked a lucky mouse from the rat cage on the roof, sent it to the Fish Bone Hall to scout the path with extremely skilled techniques, and then piously recited in his mouth:

"Soul sleeps, life ends!"

As soon as the words fell, a green flame ignited all over his body, and the whole person glowed with emerald light in the dark night; not long after, he burned away and disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back under that Lord's bone throne; the giant skull's eyes were burning with boiling green flames, looking at him with a solemn expression.

Zhang Jizu was stunned, always feeling that his Lord's face seemed a bit strange, but he didn't feel there was any problem, so he wanted to praise first, but before he opened his mouth, the giant skull on the bone throne issued the deathly silence roar of the universe.

"I, why, on, your, body, feel, a, little, 【Deception】, residual, aura!?"

"?"

Zhang Jizu was stunned again, thinking didn't you agree to let me pray to Deception and fuse the second faith, how...

Just thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and his brows frowned tightly, seemingly noticing some problem.

He had an audience with his Lord twice today, but what he could be sure of was that only this time it must be Him, because this was only after he recited the prayer that he was summoned by Him.

But what about the first time?

If the Lord at the moment didn't know about the matter related to 【Deception】 happening on him, who was that "Lord" he had an audience with the first time!?

It couldn't be...

【Deception】!!??

Zhang Jizu widened his eyes, immediately wanting to explain to his Lord what happened today, but before he could open his mouth, his mouth moved by itself.

"Lord, I got your approval today to pray to 【Deception】 for a second faith, but just now during the oracle walk, I didn't get His gaze.

Didn't you know about this? I sought an audience with you, also wanting to ask why He gave me a token but didn't give me new talents?"

Hearing these words, the giant skull on the bone throne couldn't sit still; He stiffly lowered His head to look at the believer under Him, and after a moment of silence, the white bone torrent of the entire Fish Bone Hall erupted at the same time, flooding the entire void like a burst levee.

【Death】 couldn't hold it anymore.

He suddenly realized what had happened to His believer, and also realized that the annoying 【Deception】 had actually used this hand to cheat away His believer's piety!

This hateful 【Void】 was simply unreasonable!

So 【Death】 was angry; the green flames in His eyes were like the cold fire of the nine netherworlds; although they brightly burned the entire hall, they still made Zhang Jizu under the bone throne feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, bone-chillingly cold.

Squinty eyes had never seen his Lord get this angry, and he also realized that he had fallen into a trap, but who could have thought that a god high above would impersonate someone else's Lord!?

And who could have thought that at this very moment, He was even nearby, using the 【Deception】 aura on his body as cover, completely controlling his body!

Yes, Zhang Jizu was deprived of control of his body.

He could only watch his Lord get angry, watch his body disguise itself and tremble under the control of irresistible power, but he was helpless.

He couldn't even make a sound, could only speechlessly watch that 【Deception】 who played him play his Lord again before his eyes.

【Death】 was indeed angry; He never thought of getting involved with 【Void】; recruiting Cheng Shi was just an accident; His liking Cheng Shi didn't mean He liked 【Void】.

Even if this era was indeed the era of 【Void】, 【Life】 didn't rely on 【Void】, and 【Death】 didn't need 【Deception】.

But even if He thought so, He couldn't stop 【Deception】 from always thinking about Him, and even thinking about His believer.

Watching the believer He selected inexplicably walk on the path of 【Deception】, and the piety in the believer's heart being opened by that annoying 【Deception】 and a share being taken away, He became more and more irritable.

Of course, this irritability was toward 【Deception】, not toward Zhang Jizu.

After all, in front of 【Deception】, players simply couldn't resist His playing.

That loyal employee Cheng Shi couldn't either.
