Chapter 553: Four consecutive audiences, a silent stalemate

Four consecutive audiences, a silent stalemate

"What do I want to do?

I don't want to do anything. I just saw a wisp of 【Pollution】 new authority fall on the ground. Ah, it's also possible it fell on you, old bone. In short, I saw that no one seemed to like it, so I wanted to find a place to deal with it.

I have good intentions."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi was deeply shocked. The giant skull's green flames almost stopped after hearing this.

He looked at 【Deception】, then looked at Cheng Shi, remained silent for a moment, said nothing, and then turned into countless torrents of white bones with the entire Fish Bone Hall, leaving this place in the blink of an eye.

Communicating with 【Void】 is very void. He has never liked it. Rather than being angry here, it is better to hide and be quiet.

But 【Death】 can hide, Cheng Shi cannot.

He clearly felt that his benefactor's gaze was not right, but he wanted to say something and couldn't say it, so the scene just got stuck like this.

Those eyes looked at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, and after sizing him up for a moment, said:

"The work uniform fits quite well."

Cheng Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself, isn't this what you put on me? I want to change back, but the problem is, you have to do it, benefactor.

Those eyes seemed to see Cheng Shi's thoughts, blinked twice to summon a void gale, and blew Cheng Shi out a few meters.

The little skull rolled and rolled until it turned into Cheng Shi's original appearance. When he felt his hands and feet growing back, he stopped rolling and stood up awkwardly.

But he still didn't open his mouth, and his emotions were not as active as before. Strangely, those eyes didn't speak either, just looking at him like this, so the scene fell into silence again.

Some silences are to accumulate energy to open one's mouth to ease the embarrassment, while some silences are... deepening the stalemate.

For example, now, as time passed, the situation became deadlocked.

A layer of increasingly thick frosted glass seemed to have grown between this person and god, distorting and reflecting each other's images on it. In each other's eyes, the other party's appearance was no longer the familiar look, all having changed flavor.

Of course, all of the above are Cheng Shi's own thoughts. As for whether the God of Fun's gaze on him had changed...

He didn't know, because he didn't dare to look up.

The reason he didn't speak was because he knew he couldn't deceive 【Deception】. Once he opened his mouth, this crack caused by suspicion would likely expand.

Cheng Shi had self-knowledge. He knew that his power could not be separated from 【Void】's protection, and 【Memory】 also said that other Them were interested in him because 【Void】 was interested in him.

So he didn't dare to easily break 【Void】's filter on him, putting himself in an awkward position, and this caution intensified the current stalemate.

"..."

Can't continue like this!

Cheng Shi realized that once this silence was allowed to continue, the scene would get out of control, and his relationship with 【Deception】 would no longer be the same.

【Memory】's words were indeed alienation, but the problem was that in this conspiracy, He didn't fabricate weapons out of thin air, but used the suspicion in Cheng Shi's heart as a weapon, and used this to slowly cut open Cheng Shi's close connection with 【Void】.

Cheng Shi had indeed fallen for it. Seeing the situation heading toward collapse, cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

However, this stalemate was not completely unsolvable, because Old Jia had taught him that the best way to avoid misunderstanding is full communication.

In fact, the generation of misunderstanding, like being deceived, is caused by being isolated by the information gap. As long as the communication is appropriate and there is sufficient information cognition of the overall situation, then misunderstanding will naturally not occur, and people will not be deceived.

But the problem is, how can a mortal fully communicate with a god?

Do you still have to question the other party face-to-face about whether they have unfavorable plans for you?

How to question, with what identity to question, on what basis to question?

Chess pieces on the chessboard are always at the mercy of others. Even if a move is wrong and leads to the chess piece being eaten, can this abandoned piece still get angry at the chess player when it is placed in the chess box?

No, because the chess piece has no mouth.

But Cheng Shi has!

Under Old Jia's education, Cheng Shi learned many things, one of which was to make the skin he had tempered in the orphanage when he was young even thicker.

He saw the current situation clearly, knowing that if he couldn't break the ice of the current stalemate today, then after this, even if he still walked on the path of 【Deception】, his piety would no longer be pious, and the benefactor's gaze would become blurred.

Although he never had piety in his mouth now, because of the affinity of "deception," he still had a trace of expectation and awe for the so-called God of 【Deception】 in his heart.

This is undoubtedly the best human-god relationship. No matter from which angle you look at it, Cheng Shi didn't want to break this relationship.

So he could only break the stalemate.

And the way he broke the stalemate... had no skill at all, and could even be called simple and rude.

This clown who believes in 【Deception】, at this very moment, actually chose to use sincerity to break the topic in front of 【Deception】.

He got straight to the point, and the first sentence was earth-shattering. No player present could have asked this question in his mouth.

Because this question is:

"Benefactor, are you... harming me?"

Who says people can't question gods?

If you don't question first, how do you know you can't question?

This is the question Cheng Shi most wanted to ask, and it is also the proposition he began to think about when he learned that many players were doubting the gods' purpose in the game. This doubt reached its peak when he became 【Void】's darling, but he had never opened his mouth to ask, and had never even communicated with other players.

But the more you cover up, the more it means the more you fear. When a chess piece knows it is a chess piece, it will probably spend its whole life considering when it will be manipulated by the chess player to become that pawn crossing the river.

Cheng Shi felt that he must be a pawn crossing the river, but the problem is he wanted to know if he, this pawn, had a chance to checkmate after crossing the river, because only by checkmating the other party and winning this game of chess would the remaining chess pieces on the board have a chance to survive.

Therefore, after countless careful thoughts, and after weighing the overall situation, he asked this blasphemous question that was almost equivalent to suicide.

Cheng Shi raised his head and looked at the starry eyes seriously. Although his expression was calm and his eyes were firm, the five screaming faces that lit up between his fingers still exposed his inner anxiety and fear.

Those star-studded and spiral-turning eyes suddenly smiled after hearing this sentence, smiling... brilliantly.

He looked at his believer with great interest, the corners of his eyes raised:

"It seems that fear is indeed one of the emotions that life is most likely to burst out. Looking at it this way, the direction of the scholars who follow the pen-pusher is indeed correct. It is no wonder you can get that 【Pollution】 new authority.

Truly interesting, you...

Are afraid of me?"

"..." This is nonsense. Cheng Shi couldn't say a "not afraid" at this time. He knew he couldn't deceive 【Deception】, so he could only carry sincerity to the end, saying in a deep voice, "Yes, I am afraid!"

"Very good." Those eyes smiled even more happily. He blinked and sized up Cheng Shi, just like observing an art treasure. "Why are you afraid of me?"

"Because... the unknown." Cheng Shi's answer was decisive.

He knew today was a heart-to-heart session, a heart-to-heart session between man and god. He couldn't ensure that his benefactor wasn't lying, but in order for the road ahead to be smoother, he could only ensure that he was absolutely real.

"Wrong, there are too many unknowns. The universe is deep and vast, and for humans, there is almost no known.

Your answer is too broad, so it's wrong.

Think again, why are you afraid of me?"

"..."

Cheng Shi's expression moved, his eyes shifted slightly downward, but he didn't speak.

Seeing his reaction, those eyes laughed out loud:

"You thought of it, but you didn't dare to say it.

It doesn't matter, I'll help you say it, because...

There is no uncaused good in this world."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi trembled fiercely. He did think of this sentence, but he didn't expect the God of Fun to say it directly.

This sounded too terrifying, and even the tone was exactly the same as 【Memory】 at that time!

So, was He on the scene? Did He hear it?

No, it is also possible that He ate the melon through that 【Laughter and Mockery】, but the problem is, doesn't 【Memory】 guard against Him?

Did He just let the God of Fun hear what He said?

"..."

Yes, 【Memory】 couldn't guard against Him. Alienation, alienation, the heart-piercing words were naturally heard by both sides of the alienation, so the effect could be the best.

【Chaos】 probably thought so too, so even though all this happened on 【Chaos】's territory and beside 【Memory】, the God of Fun still knew everything word for word.

However...

Benefactor, since you said this sentence, you must give me an explanation, right?

Cheng Shi frowned, clenching his fists unconsciously. He also felt 【Deception】's change, knowing that this heart-to-heart session was about to succeed. Even if this was just his intuition, but as a liar, Cheng Shi's intuition had always been very accurate.

So, what is the "reason" that made him dare not mention it and that 【Memory】 used as a weapon?

Today, can I get the answer, benefactor? ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
