Chapter 412

Old Bones Are Quite Cute

After the towering ghost flames almost stretched across the entire void, the giant skull on the bone throne finally settled down again; He looked at Zhang Jizu with a complex expression, pondered for a long time, the eye sockets darkened, and sighed helplessly:

"Choosing, 【Deception】, as the second faith, stepping on, 【Void】's, path...

You, have, decided, it?"

Zhang Jizu was stunned; he didn't expect his angry Lord to choose to give him a chance at this time.

He... agreed?

But what's the use of me deciding or not; now, my body no longer belongs to me.

Yet just as he thought this, he suddenly discovered that his body control seemed to have been returned!

So Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes tightly; he didn't respond to that Lord's question, but asked a question he cared about more:

"Lord, forgive my presumption, your relationship with 【Deception】 seems not to be..."

The green flames in the giant skull's eyes instantly disappeared; He seemed a bit tired, and for some reason, suddenly became extremely tired.

"I, and Him, are different.

Or rather, you, understand, every, Him, and, Him, are different.

Gods, either, chase, 【Convention】, or, keep, neutral, only, Him, treats 【Convention】, as, child's play, and, constantly, digs, 【Convention】's, loopholes, to, please Himself.

【Deception】, perhaps, has, other, purposes, but, no one, knows, what, He, actually, wants, to, do.

So, whether, it is, those, who, insist, on, 【Convention】, or, those, who, keep, neutral, none, want, to, get, involved, with, Him.

I, also, am, like, this.

I, hate, trouble, but, He, Himself, is, a, trouble.

But...

Faith, will, eventually, fuse, it's just, a, matter, of, time.

Faith's, fusion, also, has, no, right, or, wrong.

At least, in, 【Void】's, era, getting, close, to, 【Void】, cannot, be, counted, as, wrong.

But, no wrong, does not, mean, no, risk.

You, must, understand, trouble, is, the, source, of, all, risks.

So...

If, you, really, want, to, step, on, 【Void】, and, get, that, trouble's, gaze.

You, have, thought, it, through?"

"..."

When Zhang Jizu finished listening to this, the words 【Convention】 echoed in his mind.

This was the first time he heard about Them from his Lord's mouth, and this 【Convention】 was something They were chasing!

Was the 【Faith Game】 born because of 【Convention】?

What exactly are the gods chasing!?

Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes tightly; obviously, his Lord saying this to him for the first time was nothing more than explaining a truth to him, that is:

There is danger around 【Deception】, and the danger is very likely to come from the 【Convention】 that the gods are chasing!

He was breaking the rules to remind him that the path after choosing 【Deception】 is not easy to walk!

So, the choice He gave that looked very generous was actually persuading him to give up!

Zhang Jizu was very moved, but he didn't dare to move.

That Lord clearly missed one point, and that is that the 【Deception】 He wanted him to refuse was at the scene at this very moment, and even on his body!

His Lord didn't want to cause trouble, but wasn't afraid of trouble either; after all, He had means to counter 【Deception】 and the trouble 【Deception】 brought, but what about himself...

If he listened to his Lord's suggestion and gave up the 【Deception】 faith he "already had in hand," maybe that would be the real trouble!

No one can be sure whether, in His concept, impersonating someone else's Lord and promising a player counts as a real promise.

Logically speaking, it definitely doesn't.

But the problem is, 【Deception】 is a collection of unreasonableness; you can't reason with Him!

So...

Out of steady psychology, out of protection for his own life, and to avoid causing unsolvable trouble for himself, Zhang Jizu, for the first time in front of his Lord, unwillingly, gritting his teeth, bowed and said:

"Please forgive me, Lord, I... want to try..."

【Death】 seemed to have expected the outcome; the ghost light in His eye sockets flickered, stared at Zhang Jizu for a moment, and then sighed slowly:

"He, promised, you, what?"

"?"

Is there a promise?

Just as Zhang Jizu looked up in surprise, wanting to express that 【Deception】 hadn't promised anything, his mouth suddenly closed by itself.

And at the same time, a pair of giggling eyes opened without warning on...

... the top of the giant skull!

【Deception】 is here.

No, it should be said He had been here all along, and even used His authority to deceive 【Death】, just to wait for this moment!

He looked at His new believer with satisfaction, clicking His tongue:

"Who said old bones don't lie; didn't this 'try' just now sound quite unwilling.

It seems your faith in me isn't that pious either.

Hmm, not bad, I just like people who are clearly not that pious but lie about being pious; it suits me very well, approved!"

After speaking, the eyes blinked, and a mask slowly drifted down from the top of the giant skull, just falling in front of the small skull that Zhang Jizu had turned into.

Looking at this mask that was no different from others, Zhang Jizu finally confirmed that he had indeed been trapped in 【Deception】's lie trap all day!

At this very moment, He truly accepted him; under 【Death】's witness and compromise, He accepted him!

"..."

"..."

Zhang Jizu was silent, and 【Death】 was also silent.

Things had reached this point and were almost irreversible; He personally gave His believer a chance, but His believer used a lie that didn't sound like a lie to accept 【Deception】's gaze.

What was even more angry was that this 【Deception】 actually dared to act wildly on His head in the Fish Bone Hall.

Life can be endured, death cannot be endured!

So...

"Boom—"

An explosion that shocked the universe suddenly sounded, and boundless ghost wind and green flames directly patted Zhang Jizu, who had the mask on his head, back to reality.

After he disappeared, the entire void began to collapse, directly turning into eternal void.

And in that eternal void, countless bone hands symbolizing death rose inch by inch, like full-bloomed flowers, surrounding the entire space layer by layer.

The eyes were trapped in the cage cast by bone hands, giggling as usual, and even laughing more happily than just now.

"Old bones, you are finally willing to have a fight.

But with your old arms and legs, you won't be unable to fight, right? If not, should I call you a foreign aid?"

"【Deception】!

You, violated, the agreement, and did, things, beyond, the, transaction, limit.

You, should, have, expected, My, anger, will, burn, the, void!"

"Hee~

Oh, sorry, I'm used to laughing.

Don't be in a hurry; although I also want to have a fight with you, the few moral senses I learned from humans taught me to respect the old and love the young; hmm, I have to consider that if I break you apart, I might not be able to put you back together.

Even if not for you, I can't let the boss be alone and sad in 【Life】.

How about this, let's make another deal.

I'm a bit interested in your bone doors; why don't you help me build one to play with? As for the reward, I'll pick two good talents for the little bone, how about it?"

"..."

The green flames in 【Death】's eyes stagnated.

He looked gloomily at those annoying eyes, with an extremely complex expression flashing on His face.

"..."

"Three?"

"..."

"Speak, old bones."

"..."

"Deal?"

"..."

"Fine, it's a deal."

"..."

The giant skull didn't say a word; after staring at Him for a moment, He suddenly collapsed into countless white bone torrents, surging in all directions, and disappeared into the void at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at this scene, the corners of those giggling eyes curled higher.

"Hee~

Suddenly found old bones are quite cute."
