Chapter 413

Praise the Great 【Fate... Deception】!

Cheng Shi was anxious.

Because he discovered that his prayers not only didn't summon the two Lords, but also tossed away the 【Gate of Joyful Desire】 token in his hand.

He didn't know when the token was taken, nor did he know who took it, but he guessed it was probably 【Fate】; after all, 【Fate】 seemed to have rejected his suggestion to let Avros work.

Losing an SS-rank prop wouldn't make Cheng Shi feel heartache; what made him feel incomparably uncomfortable was that it was originally an intelligence window for him to obtain the secrets of the gods, and at this very moment, this window was ruthlessly closed.

So, They didn't want him to know about "era"!

But the more They covered it up, the more curious Cheng Shi became, but curiosity was useless now, because he had no way to know these things from others' mouths.

He thought about calling to ask, but this was not a safe way.

You must know, if his own Lord wasn't prepared to tell him these things, then once he encountered problems in the process of understanding these things, whether the two of them could still become his strong backing was something that needed to be carefully pondered.

For safety's sake, Cheng Shi decided to put it aside first and pay more attention to these two words in subsequent trials.

The tense nerves of the day made him feel exhausted, so he decided to go to bed early and use sleep to forget his troubles.

But the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly discovered that his field of vision had gone completely black!

Another Him had summoned him!

And the reason he was so certain was that Cheng Shi never turned off the small lamp by the bed when he slept; a dim magic lamp could leave some light on his field of vision through his eyelids when he slept, and only in this way could he determine whether his vision was completely black when he was invaded by others' consciousness, or affected by area-of-effect influences.

But this time, the darkness in his vision was too pure, pure as if...

... the void!

Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed something; he opened his eyes suddenly and found that there was indeed a pair of brilliant and bright starry eyes open in front of him!

But what was brilliant was the starlight in the eyes, and what was bright was the flowing light in the pupils; the expression in those eyes was so cold that one thought of 【Fate】 coldly watching all living beings at a glance!

So Cheng Shi's heart settled, joy filled his brows, and he immediately offered praise:

"Praise the great 【Fate... Deception】 God!

May the lies of the universe be woven into a deceptive illusion in your hands, to embellish this great 【Void】 era!"

He changed his words, and he changed them fast, because he suddenly felt that if it were 【Fate】, He wouldn't deliberately summon him the moment he closed his eyes, making such a teasing move.

As for why these eyes looked so cold, haha, 【Deception】's nature, he didn't need to say more.

Not only that, Cheng Shi didn't forget to add some probes to his praise in the instant he changed his words; as for whether these probes were useful...

That didn't depend on whether the God of Fun was fooled, but on whether His mood was good and whether He wanted him to take the bait.

So when he saw a void fishing line tied with a straight hook and bait hanging in front of him, those eyes suddenly changed from cold to playful, sneering:

"How come I haven't heard that there is a god in 【Void】 called 【Fate Deception】?

Why, has your 【Void】 path already surpassed me by so much?"

"..."

Cheng Shi's smile stiffened; he lowered his head sheepishly and made a slight sophistry:

"The piety in my heart always makes me want to praise the two Lords at the same time unconsciously; I accidentally said my inner thoughts, making my Lord laugh."

Those playful eyes didn't say a word after hearing this, but blinked casually, and then a voice identical to Cheng Shi's came from the depths of the void.

"As long as my face is thick enough, He can't keep holding onto this small mistake, right?"

"Oh no, forgot He has this move!"

"No, no, no, I mean... Lord, my Lord, isn't this a bit... not authentic?"

"Damn, it's endless."

"No, no, no, can't think about it anymore!"

"..."

Cheng Shi was numb; he had cold sweat on his face and lowered his head without speaking, starting to recite 【Deception】's prayer in his heart.

Seeing this, those eyes laughed even louder:

"Oh my, accidentally said the believer's inner thoughts, making the believer laugh."

"..."

The frequency of Cheng Shi's mouth twitching was almost catching up to facial paralysis; he looked up at his Lord with a broken-jar-broken-fall expression and admitted defeat:

"As long as you are happy."

"Hee~

I am not happy; that little cat had such a sense of belonging to an organization when he stepped on the path of 【Fate】, how come when it came to the little bone, he wasn't that pious?"

Hmm?

Little bone? What little bone?

Cheng Shi wasn't stupid; after being stunned for a second, he immediately realized that the so-called little bone in 【Deception】's mouth was probably Squinty Zhang!

Did He summon Squinty Zhang?

Cheng Shi was shocked, and asked with a look of surprise and joy:

"Squinty... little bone had an audience with you?

Did you bestow him a second faith?"

The spirals in the eyes turned twice, responding with a smile.

"Some people, when lying, don't forget to hold a dice in their hands, while lying, they come to my ears to be noisy, wishing they could tell me all those promises made up one by one.

You have quite a lot of guts, actually using this method to cheat on both sides; when did I agree to bestow a second faith on the little bone?"

After Cheng Shi heard this, he immediately retracted his head and didn't speak.

The reason for the silence wasn't because his Lord put an ungrounded hat on him, but because what his Lord said was correct; he was indeed cheating on both sides!

When Zhang Jizu asked Cheng Shi what he could win by following him to gamble, Cheng Shi fooled him.

But he knew it was all fake, meaning if according to common sense, Zhang Jizu only had risks and no gains in that gamble.

But Cheng Shi didn't want that; he felt Squinty Zhang was very much to his taste, and the two had almost the same steady state, so he didn't want his new friend to take risks but gain nothing.

So when he fooled Zhang Jizu, he held a Fate Dice in his hand, constantly reciting 【Deception】's prayer in his heart, just hoping He could hear those "misinterpretations of 【Deception】's intentions" he said!

Yes, he wasn't just fooling Zhang Jizu, he was also "tricking" his own Lord, 【Deception】!

Of course, saying tricking wasn't appropriate; this behavior was more like "fishing."

When Cheng Shi fooled Squinty Eyes, he was simultaneously explaining to his Lord 【Deception】 how big the fun would be if "Zhang Jizu was pulled into the path of 【Deception】," wanting to convince Him, and it would be best if He was so happy that He really bestowed a second faith on Zhang Jizu!

This was Cheng Shi's purpose; in a game with no gains, he created a gain for his new friend!

Of course, he wasn't sure if Zhang Jizu was willing to walk on the path of 【Deception】, so he still returned the choice to Squinty Zhang himself, and the moment Squinty Zhang agreed to join the gamble, the other gamble Cheng Shi opened took effect.

The gain was that the God of Fun really accepted Zhang Jizu out of the mentality of collecting fun; the risk was... Zhang Jizu gained nothing.

So, what Cheng Shi gambled on was never their lives, but whether his Lord would "pull" Zhang Jizu because of this kind of fun.

But now it seems, he himself, no, it should be Zhang Jizu seems... to have won the gamble?

The eyes in the void saw Cheng Shi acting like a turtle and sneered again.

"Misinterpreting the will of the gods is a great sin of blasphemy; your guts are really getting bigger and bigger."

Cheng Shi broke into a polite cold sweat, and then explained in a low voice:

"Lord, my Lord, you can't be groundless; when did I misinterpret your will?"

"Refusing to admit mistakes, crime plus one." Saying this, the atmosphere in the void gradually cooled down.
