Chapter 542: It's over, it's [Memory]!

It's over, it's 【Memory】!

What should I do?

Say hello?

How should I open my mouth? Otherwise, just say: "Oh, you're here. Look, I've smeared a big piece on the history you collected again. How should you reward me this time?"

To be honest, Cheng Shi really wanted to say that for a moment, because he had to admit that the 【Memory Floating Dream】 bestowed by 【Memory】 was quite easy to use.

But he didn't dare, fearing he would be beaten to death.

Thus, he didn't dare to make a sound, just standing on the spot and laughing dryly.

The boss turned his eyes, which were far more profound and vicissitudinous than the boss's, and looked Cheng Shi up and down for a long time, then opened his mouth and said:

"I originally thought that under my hint, He would restrain Himself a bit. But now it seems He has indeed restrained Himself. However, your other benefactor... has started again.

And you, you are also very brave."

"..."

Cheng Shi heard this and shook his head frantically, shaking like a rattle-drum.

No, brother, I'm not brave at all. If I were brave, I would have opened my mouth to ask you for a reward...

Look at me, how honest I am now!

"Interesting.

Are you denying your own courage, or denying your own actions?

【Nothingness】 always likes to find trouble for people. Those two benefactors of yours... hmm, I said 【Fate】 is already predetermined, and now you can be considered to have felt it.

Those two benefactors of yours are very worrying.

【Deception】 always likes to tease history, often folding the history he tore off into the shape he likes. 【Fate】...

is no less so. He holds the predetermined, so He will always use the same set of excuses to wantonly smear 【Existence】, 'misplacing' my countless collection items.

As for you, Cheng Shi, very good, you are a cunning flatterer, very good at pleasing those two benefactors of yours.

"But have you ever thought, when you dirtied my collection hall and made those two benefactors of yours roar with laughter, as the owner of the collection hall, would I be angry?"

As he spoke, the boss's eyes turned up again, revealing only a piece of white.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi's cold sweat refreshed all over again. He waved his hands and shook his head, denying it with incomparable firmness:

"Misunderstanding! Everything is a misunderstanding!

The one who dirtied your collection hall is someone else, at least it's definitely not me!"

The boss's eyes turned back, and the boiling power of 【Memory】 around him instantly froze. He looked at Cheng Shi and chuckled.

"Oh? I know you are best at sophistry, but I can give you a chance.

Tell me, who polluted my collection hall?"

"It's your!"

Cheng Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva tentatively, his whole body tense. No matter how you looked at it, he was scared to death, but even so, he gritted his teeth and argued:

"... believer!

If you had gazed upon the previous trial, you would know that I didn't do anything to affect history in that trial!

Everything I did was in the present, and only related to the present.

It was your believer, that unknown historian, who used your power to write all this into history.

This is like me saying 'robbing a bank can make you rich,' and then he really went to rob it. But how can this be blamed on me? The law won't judge me as guilty!

I am innocent!

The one who polluted your collection hall was that singer. I couldn't even be counted as an instigator, because he rewrote history as soon as he came, and I didn't even say a word to him!

It was his own desire that made him blaspheme you, but since you bestowed upon them the ability to rewrite history, that means this isn't a blasphemy, but a tribute.

So the fact is I didn't do anything bad, your believer paid tribute to you, you..."

Cheng Shi really wanted to say "you came to the wrong place," but looking at this increasingly playful expression, he endured it and changed his words.

"Why don't you sort it out again?"

【Memory】 laughed, laughing out loud.

"So, my collection hall is dirty, but no one is at fault?"

Cheng Shi laughed dryly, shifting his gaze away, not daring to look at Him.

"If you must say who is at fault...

then it can only be that singer believer of yours. He was influenced by his own desire when using the power you bestowed. This wasn't a pious tribute; he paid tribute to 【Filth】 while paying tribute to you!

I suspect he has ulterior motives, I suggest a strict investigation!"

After finishing, Cheng Shi lowered his head guiltily, but after hearing these words, 【Memory】 laughed again.

"Very good, you are so compatible with 【Deception】, I think 【Fate】 must also have a headache.

Instigator?

Good charge, you are indeed an instigator."

"???"

What do you mean I am indeed! Didn't I say I wasn't?

Cheng Shi was confused. He raised his head and wanted to argue a few more words, but saw 【Memory】 open his mouth and say:

"You seem to have forgotten one thing. The law you mentioned has become the past. Whether you are an instigator is not defined by the past, but by the present."

Cheng Shi was unconvinced. He gritted his teeth and argued:

"But you are 【Memory】, memory is the past!"

【Memory】 rarely raised his eyebrows, and his smile became a bit gentler

"【Existence】 is not just the past, but also the present; what you call the past cannot stand firm within 【Existence】."

Cheng Shi grew anxious.

What the hell, are you really going to sentence me today!

Fine, fine, fine, Afuluosi offended 【Time】 and was sentenced to eternal imprisonment, and I offended 【Memory】...

That's right, I offended 【Memory】, so why judge me using the 'law' of 【Time】!?

Cheng Shi suddenly raised his head and argued "reasonably":

"Even if I have blasphemed you, I blasphemed the appearance of 【Existence】, so why measure my guilt with the essence of 【Existence】?

I disrupted the 'past', so I should be sanctioned by the laws of the 'past', but the 'past' tells me I am innocent, so!

I am not wrong!"

These words were spoken with bravado, but 【Memory】 did not listen; He just sighed, said "stubborn and unyielding," and then waved His hand, throwing Cheng Shi into a piece of lost history.

Seeing his vision begin to distort and his consciousness falling into the Sea of Memories, Cheng Shi watched the scenery on the rooftop slowly shatter and turn into an illusory blue. He panicked, his heart frantically reciting the prayers of his two benefactors, hoping that 【Void】 could erode 【Existence】 again at this moment and rush over to save him.

But unfortunately, 【Void】 did not respond.

Cheng Shi's heart sank; he hadn't expected the joke he made in front of Afuluosi to actually come true.

Not cool, brother, I said we were both victims, I didn't mean I wanted to be that kind of victim; how did we really become "cellmates"!?

Help!

Can someone come and save me!

The pressure from the Sea of Memories grew stronger and stronger. Cheng Shi only felt himself slowly peeling away from reality, his entire body becoming dull and sluggish, but fortunately, he could still think.

Can't go on like this, if I keep going, I'm done for!

He struggled frantically, calling out in his heart to all the divine names he knew. His hands weren't idle either, touching every ring he had, treating them as if he were using the rings to make a distress call. But even after trying every method he could think of, there was still no response from the outside world.

"..."

It's over, this time I'm really gone.
