Chapter 471: New Trial: How Do All Beings Decay, How Do All Things Rot [Decay]

New Trial: How Do All Beings Decay, How Do All Things Rot 【Decay】

(Thanks for the support, adding a chapter on the first day of work to relieve anxiety)

Everyone sat in a circle around the clock, repeating the previous prayer in their hearts, striving to finish the prayer word for word at the hour.

And in these last few minutes, Hu Wei suddenly proposed again:

"I know you are all trustworthy people, but this trip is of extraordinary significance. So, in this last bit of time, allow me to be the villain. Everyone, take out your tokens.

Let us, under each other's witness, pray for this trial toward our respective objects of faith."

As soon as the words fell, Hu Wei and Da Yi both drew their weapons across their palms and stuck the blood-stained weapons in front of them.

Everyone had already seen Hu Wei's greatsword, but this was the first time the others were seeing Da Yi's weapon. It was a double-pointed needle as long and thick as a finger.

He really was an assassin!

And an assassin with a sixth finger, because a needle of this size would only dance and jump between an assassin's fingers, like a sixth finger.

And the token of 【War】 was originally a drop of blood. If you chose it at the start of the path, it meant the player had to find a way to get a drop of their own blood to resonate with it.

And this method gradually evolved into the blood-splashing ritual after entering the game: using a weapon to draw blood and then splashing it in front of oneself.

Hu Wei's request was not excessive. Although everyone knew that accidents were impossible at this time, they still did as asked.

Mo Li took out a codex. The lance and shield on the codex shone brightly, and the aura of the decree was solemn and dignified.

Hu Xuan placed a stone egg in front of her. This stone egg, engraved with countless fine flesh and blood like a fossil, was the token of 【Procreation】 at the start of the path.

In the 【Faith Game】, except for 【Void】, followers of other faiths hardly need the assistance of faith objects when performing their duties. These things are more like a sign of identifying faith for them, rather than any auxiliary props.

But 【Void】 is different. Their followers must perform their duties toward their own tokens, which also leads to almost every 【Fraud】 follower having a Fate Dice in their hands. After all, even if they don't use it, they have to keep it just in case.

So as a follower of 【Fraud】, Long Jing took out a Fate Dice at the same time as Cheng Shi in front of everyone.

"......"

"......"

"......"

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Long Jing's movements stalled. He swapped the dice in his hand back at lightning speed and replaced it with a pure white mask.

"Sorry, I'm used to it."

"......"

Everyone looked at each other, their eye corners twitching, thinking that this was the opening move of these swindlers; they were still so obsessed with pretending to be people of 【Fate】.

And only Cheng Shi knew that this was simply a sleight of hand by this acrobat. He used the embarrassment to cover up the truth of the mask, because the mask in his hand was fake to begin with, forged by him just like the Fate Dice.

But he used this move to divert everyone's attention.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi should have laughed, but at this moment, everyone else's gaze was on the Fate Dice in front of him, which made him unable to laugh at all.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and seeing that the expressions of these few were as if they had let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly joked:

"What? Mine is real. If you don't believe me, want to check the goods?"

This immediately made the others laugh. Hu Wei even waved his hand with a loud laugh, and then immediately restrained his smile and became serious:

"Time is up. 15 seconds left. Everyone, get ready."

Although he said so, his gaze never left Cheng Shi's dice.

Cheng Shi laughed along on the surface, but his heart stalled, thinking, "Not good."

He had originally wanted to pray to the mask secretly for this trial, letting 【Fate】 send him over safely, but who would have thought that at such a secure time, Hu Wei would come up with an even more secure move.

Cheng Shi wasn't afraid of being exposed; after all, his dice wasn't fake, it was truly useful. But the problem was...

His dice wasn't normal!

You have to know that although the Fate Dice should be the token of 【Fate】, there are always some "shouldn't" things in reality. For example, Cheng Shi right now: the dice in his hand doesn't represent 【Fate】, but... 【Fraud】!

Although 【Fate】 will "eavesdrop," everything that responds to his prayers is the God of Fun!

So, does his reciting the 【War】 prayer to the Fate Dice count as blaspheming one Benefactor, or blaspheming two?

Will He let him go to participate in this trial?

Or to put it more directly, does He think the fun in this trial is big enough?

If it's not enough, what will happen?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi was about to break out in a cold sweat.

But everything was too late to change. As the second hand reached the hour, Cheng Shi had to recite the prayer he had already written along with the others.

He saw him quickly pick up the Fate Dice in his hand and hold it flat in front of him, while his other hand was tucked into his sleeve behind his back, reciting word by word piously:

"How to seek survival, only blood and fire..."

While reciting, he was also praying in his heart, hoping that the God of Fun wouldn't give him a big surprise. But when he saw the prompt in front of him, his expression collapsed as expected.

【Prayer Trial (How Do All Beings Decay, How Do All Things Rot 【Decay】) has been opened】

【Matching teammates (1/6)】

【Trial Goal: All beings should decay according to the decree, but do not know why the universe decays (Time limit: 5 days)】

"......"

Good, good, good!

I knew it!

【War】 can really endure. I prayed so specifically, and yet I still got matched into a 【Decay】 setup.

How do all beings decay, how do all things rot!

How big of a battle must it be to make one of 【Them】 change His own prayer as a trial topic?

Looking at this trial name he had never seen before, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

It's ruined. Is He going to continue venting His unvented anger on his head?

Benefactor, you love watching the fun, but don't you have to think about whether the clown on stage will die?

I have already angered 【Decay】 once. If He really wants to pursue it further, then in order to survive, if I say anything dirty, you must... bear with it.

Cheng Shi's face was as black as ink.

Not to mention whether this trial is difficult or not, just being matched into a 【Decay】 setup means this trial will definitely experience some unforgettable pain.

At this time, he could only pray that he was overthinking it, otherwise...

Taking advantage of the second before his vision went completely dark, Cheng Shi quickly scanned the others. Seeing that everyone else except himself had faint smiles on their faces, his face turned even darker.

So I'm the only unlucky one?

"......"
