Chapter 451

Plotting Aloud

The two people standing behind Cheng Shi helping him up were clearly Gao Ya and Gou Feng, whom he had met in the trial not long ago.

This soloist who claimed she would give Cheng Shi a big surprise when they met again had fulfilled her promise; her appearance indeed gave Cheng Shi a big surprise.

As for the chieftain who swallowed the messenger's flesh in an attempt to obtain divine power... he had finally achieved his wish and become a part of a true messenger.

Who could say that a desire puppet is not a part of a messenger?

Watching his former teammates turn into this state, Cheng Shi felt a mix of emotions.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear it, but he was sighing, sighing that these two teammates had vented their desires in the wrong place; among so many people and things that could satisfy their desires, why pick anyone else, why pick the ancestor of desire...

Now it's fine, they have completely become a part of desire.

Afu Luosi saw Cheng Shi's strange expression and chuckled:

"If you..."

"Thanks, we're not close, let's continue."

Cheng Shi seemed to guess what he was going to say, decisively raised his hand to interrupt Afu Luosi's speech, and then lifted his chair and sat back down himself.

That nimble manner was as if he had never known these two teammates.

Hu Xuan also sat back down, otherwise Cheng Shi wouldn't have dared to sit back at the table so readily; she looked at the two puppets with great interest and then similarly smiled:

"I felt the residue of 【Birth】; it seems this is still a follower of my Lord."

As she spoke, she glanced at Afu Luosi again.

"You, in front of me, turning a follower of my Lord into a puppet—are you testing my piety?"

Afu Luosi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hu Xuan and laughed out loud.

"Interesting, truly interesting.

I finally understand; so you are not my brother's Miss Sun; on the contrary, my brother seems to be your...

Mr. Sun?

You are sparing no effort to win chips for him here—could it be that you want him to renounce his oath and go into His embrace to become a true... descendant priest?"

"......"

Cheng Shi was speechless.

He was indeed very grateful for Hu Xuan's help, but as mentioned before, Hu Xuan was not a representative suitable for negotiation because she was too direct; her purpose was all on the table, almost as direct as her attitude of wanting a child.

But Cheng Shi was very appreciative; in such a situation of three-person dialogue, it was clear she was on his side.

That was enough.

However, to be fair, Afu Luosi was not the opposing side either.

Although he, like Hu Xuan, had ideas about Cheng Shi, under the gaze of 【Fate】, such ideas might only be pursued slowly.

Regarding Afu Luosi's teasing, Hu Xuan did not deny it; she generously admitted her covetousness for Cheng Shi, which made Afu Luosi beam with joy.

"It seems we are the same kind of people."

Hu Xuan nodded elegantly: "On this point, in some respects, I admit it."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and then looked at Cheng Shi simultaneously.

"......"

Cheng Shi was too scared; he felt that the current situation was even more tense than his first time meeting a god.

The air was filled with the mixed aura of 【Depravity】 and 【Birth】, making one afraid to breathe; he was afraid that after taking a breath, the three people here would directly become four, or even five.

What was even more terrifying was that you didn't know whose belly this fourth or fifth one would appear in.

Help... help me!

After holding his breath and staring at these two messengers for a moment, Cheng Shi finally summoned the courage to break this incredibly awkward situation and started a new topic.

"That... one cannot become a fatty in one breath; the news heard today is already enough, I need to digest it first.

After all, I already know you can't escape here either... uh, I don't mean that, I mean..."

Cheng Shi was just about to change his words when he saw Afu Luosi chuckle and move the umbilical blood shackles placed on the table in front of Hu Xuan to Cheng Shi's side out of thin air.

"You mean you have the ability to come see me at any time, right?

This Miss Sun of yours must have wanted to give this to you long ago; the reason she didn't act was merely to observe my attitude.

Now you know.

My attitude is very clear; if I can make my brother think of me at all times, and even come to see me from time to time, then I am naturally more than happy to do so.

Of course, if you are still willing..."

"I am willing to accept it." Cheng Shi hurriedly put away the shackles and wiped his cold sweat, interrupting Afu Luosi's speech; he really didn't dare to let this messenger of 【Depravity】 make any more explosive remarks in front of a 【Birth】 messenger who longed for children.

Afu Luosi was not surprised; he smiled happily but didn't tease anymore.

"Phew—let's talk about business, Afu Luosi.

I don't know if you have a clear understanding of our identities, but I can tell you that in this so-called 【Void】 era, the Continent of Hope has completely become history; humans like us are the mainstream of this era.

We call ourselves players, and you whom we encounter are called...

【Faith Game】.

A game about faith!"

"Game?"

Afu Luosi slowly savored these two words and then laughed out loud.

"Indeed 【Void】!

But I need to remind you, my brother, never treat history as history, because that is just a different label 【Time】 sticks on different presents, and even more so, a replica 【Memory】 fishes out from the sea of memories.

When They put the things They like under the spotlight, even history can become the present."

Cheng Shi nodded slightly upon hearing this; he had heard this kind of argument from his benefactor 【Deception】 before, meaning nothing more than that history is relative, and the present is also relative.

Now that gods exist, whether the past is history or the future is history, this question has yet to be settled.

However, dwelling on these is clearly useless; Cheng Shi didn't start the topic to discuss philosophy with Afu Luosi, but for some more pragmatic purposes, such as...

how to deal with those peak players still hanging on the dome.

"No matter how you view history, in short, for us, players are the protagonists of the 【Void】 era.

So, Afu Luosi, I still want to make a deal with you."

"Oh? What deal?"

"I wrote a script on the spur of the moment, but this script is still missing quite a few actors, so I want you to let my actors..."

Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, Afu Luosi started laughing.

He seemed to have guessed Cheng Shi's meaning.
