Chapter 466: You say you are... whose Messenger!??
You say you are... whose Messenger!??
(Super large cup extra update today!)
The line of sight returned to the present.
When Long Jing heard the question asked by Cheng Shi, he only felt a cold air rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head, and then his scalp was numb. The trembling from his soul erupted instantly, frantically rushing from his brain to his limbs and bones.
How could he know these things that only he knew!?
Long Jing almost lost his expression management ability, but as a peak player, he still tried his best to keep calm.
Of course, this calmness was external. For Cheng Shi in front of him, the shock in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
This acrobat looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, his mouth opened several times, before he "dared" to ask back:
"You... how did you know, who exactly are you!?"
Cheng Shi smiled slightly and didn't answer him, but continued to speak to himself:
"·Long Yu and Jing Bai were indeed a pair of fairy couples in this line, and their child inherited all their talents, and was entrusted with high hopes from childhood, very likely to become the next era's pillar figure in the acrobatics world.
But after that accident, their child disappeared strangely...
There were always people saying that this child chose to retreat after witnessing his parents' death with his own eyes, unable to overcome the fear in his heart.
But who could have thought that in the game-descending today, this child still hasn't given up his parents' expectations, and has become the most excellent acrobat in this world.
Although this acrobat is not that acrobat, but... in the way of pleasing the audience, they are the same, aren't they?
Do you say I'm right, Long, Jing?"
"..."
Long Jing was indeed frightened. Every time Cheng Shi spoke a sentence, the trembling on his body increased by one point.
This was no longer a matter of knowing or not knowing. The other party knew too much. This kind of memory that was almost like tearing open a scar made Long Jing recall the fear of seeing his parents lose their hands and lose their lives on the stage when he was young.
This fear didn't dissipate with the passage of time, but instead accumulated in his heart because of the accumulation of time.
Over the years, he never recalled these things, and after 【
But at this very moment, as this bloody scar was torn open by someone else again, he finally realized that his fear had always been there, never having dissipated.
His face grew paler, his eyes became more tense, and when he looked at Cheng Shi, the sharpness from their previous secret confrontation was gone, replaced only by panic and unease.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi was surprised by Brother Mouth's words, but he vaguely felt that Long Jing's state was not quite right.
He could empathize with and understand such an inseparable sense of kinship, but the problem was, understanding is one thing; based on his knowledge of a peak player, these people had long since experienced emotional tug-of-wars far more intense than this. Even an ordinary 【Stained】 talent would be enough to make a person feel something more intense than the deepest emotions in their heart. So, if it were just recalling the past, why would Long Jing behave so "exaggeratedly"?
When things go against the norm, there must be a demon at play!
Although the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi were currently dominating the situation, Cheng Shi still steadily chose to protect himself.
Of course, certain protective actions were not meant to strike a defensive posture, but rather to preemptively strike.
Thus, Cheng Shi chose to press the hand wearing the Death Fun Ring onto Long Jing's wrist, keeping the ring pressed tightly against Long Jing so the other party could feel the touch from the ring.
At the same time, he feigned mystery, smiled at Long Jing, and said meaningfully:
"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to be impulsive. Although the unknown is terrifying, the unknown that can speak doesn't only bring fear."
Sure enough, after feeling the foreign object on his wrist, Long Jing quickly glanced at the ring on Cheng Shi's finger. Immediately, the terrified and panicked look in his eyes slowly dissipated, and his face gradually calmed down.
He had indeed been frightened by the person in front of him, but the outward appearance of being overly shocked was all an act. He wanted to test what kind of person the other party was and how they would react to his panic. If there were any flaws, he wouldn't mind using force to make them submit, but he hadn't expected this probe to be blocked.
For the second time, all his probes had sunk like a stone in the ocean in the other party's hands.
This is a master, but as for whether he is a high-level "player"...
Long Jing glanced sideways at the person in front of him, exerted a slight force on his wrist to break free from Cheng Shi's restraint, and the whole person returned to that sharp state of a con artist.
Although the fear was still there, at least he couldn't show any more flaws on the surface.
And after seeing this, Cheng Shi also felt a slight chill in his heart.
This acrobat was indeed testing him. It's a good thing he suppressed him first; otherwise, he might have already been beaten out by this warrior!
Brother Mouth, you are truly ruthless. You just keep outputting with that mouth of yours, and you don't care at all about the consequences of these words!
Am I the one left to clean up your mess?
What kind of Zhen Xin behavior is this!
Cheng Shi was numb. He subconsciously wanted to twitch the corner of his mouth, but the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi refused him, because the roleplay wasn't over yet; it was still the lead actor's moment.
Seeing his second probe blocked again, Long Jing's heart sank, but on the surface, he returned to that shrewd state and feigned depth:
"Since we've chosen to cooperate, let's speak plainly. Who exactly are you?
Don't use the excuse of the Tongue of Lying to stall. Before I know who you are, I refuse all cooperation.
Even if you know my past, in the eyes of a 【Deception】 believer, 【Memory】 is not worth much."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi secretly applauded in his heart.
Long Jing is worthy of being a smart man; he has already started looking for a way out.
The other party had probably been imagining his identity for a long time, and just by listening to what he was saying, one could guess how high this imagined identity was.
An acrobat who had never mentioned his benefactor in the Mediocre Society had actually started talking about the opposition of faiths under this curtain that only the two of them could hear.
It was very clear that he was trying to please 【Deception】 and thereby gain the gaze and protection of his benefactor.
Although he didn't show it, Cheng Shi could tell from this one sentence alone that Long Jing was still afraid. He was afraid that the person in front of him was not some ordinary player, but an existence he couldn't handle!
So this is what it feels like to make others face fear, Cheng Shi thought, smiling inwardly, as if recalling the feeling of facing those invincible existences in the past.
And at this moment, Brother Mouth exerted force again.
"·Interesting, are you attracting His gaze?
However...
Who told you that His gaze would definitely protect you when He descends here?"
The Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi specifically added emphasis to the last word "you," which made Long Jing's pupils shrink.
He seemed to have guessed something, so he looked at Cheng Shi even more solemnly and said:
"You... are His person?"
"·Person?
Not bad, I like this group. It seems my roleplay is very successful."
"!!!" Long Jing's expression changed in horror. To prevent his reaction from being exposed, he could only endure the shock, lower his head, and say, "What do you mean? You aren't a person?"
"..."
What a burn!
Cheng Shi was so angry he laughed. Putting aside the trickery, the sarcasm of the God of Fun had been learned by these believers to a T.
I'm not taking the blame for this insult, but you're right, Brother Mouth is indeed not a person.
However, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi didn't care about these things at all. It chuckled and continued:
"·From the dimension of flesh and blood, I am, but from the height of faith, I am not."
"You...!?"
"·Generally speaking, in the mouths of you so-called 'players,' an existence like me would be called...
A subordinate god.
Hmm, compared to a Messenger, I actually prefer this title."
"!!!" Long Jing was stunned. His hand supporting the ground tightened slightly. Suppressing the extreme shock in his heart, he said calmly, "You think that just by stating a part of my past, you can make me believe you are His Messenger?
Heh, deception, deception, both cheating and deceiving. How do I know if you aren't impersonating His Messenger?
Cheng Shi, you have indeed given me a lot of shock, but I don't believe you.
You can't fool..."
Before he could finish, Cheng Shi curled his lips again and smiled:
"·Whether you believe it or not is your business; whether I say it or not is mine. I respect the rules the most. The game of the broken tongue is still ongoing. Since you don't want to answer the previous question, I'll ask a new one:
The 【Deception】 mask you lost, have you found it yet?"
"!!!"
Hearing this, Long Jing froze completely. His pupils shook, and he stiffened on the spot, his whole body tense.
Could the other party... really be a Messenger!?
