Chapter 562: The Mode of Existence of the Second Faith

The Mode of Existence of the Second Faith

"You don't remember what happened in the previous trial?"

After the initial shock passed, Cheng Shi gradually regained his composure. He looked at the small skull on the chair in front of him and asked with a frown.

Zhang Jizu nodded:

"Yes, there must have been a violent conflict in the last trial, because my life-saving means were consumed once.

Yet my memory is extremely blurry; this is clearly someone using 【Memory】 methods.

There aren't many people who can use this method against me. I've roughly narrowed it down to a few, but I still can't be sure if it's them."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi immediately became interested.

"You have quite a few enemies. Tell me, which ones?"

"It's just that they don't get along with me. Knowing this won't help you."

"How is it useless? What if we run into them? Maybe I can help you solve your troubles?"

"......" Zhang Jizu paused for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I seem to have heard this somewhere before."

"?"

Before Cheng Shi could ask again, the squinting eyes narrowed further as he continued: "First, help me deal with a blasphemous sinner. This person is easier to handle, especially for you; it will be more convenient to deal with."

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows in astonishment. After pondering for a moment, he replied:

"There really is one? It's not impossible, but the price must be negotiated clearly. Even brothers settle accounts clearly."

"Tell me, what's his name, what's his profession, and what's his bracket?"

"Score unknown. Surname Cheng, given name Shi. He is a... Fate Weaver."

"???"

Cheng Shi was stunned. What shocked him wasn't that old man Zhang was playing with him, but that this sentence coming out of old man Zhang's mouth... was actually true!

The Master of Deception told Cheng Shi that this sentence was true!

That meant old man Zhang really wanted him to deal with himself.

How could this be!?

Something is wrong, too wrong!

Cheng Shi's reaction was still fast. He only froze for a moment before immediately realizing the problem: this kid, old man Zhang, seemed to have been infected by the Master of Deception too!

The Gravekeeper isn't keeping graves; he's started playing tricks on his brother!

He looked at the small skull in front of him in shock, blinking in disbelief: "The talent He bestowed upon you is the Master of Deception!?"

Zhang Jizu looked at Cheng Shi's frustrated expression and shook his head with a smile: "No."

Another truth!

It damn well is the Master of Deception!

Fine, fine, fine, the clown is actually me!

I didn't expect that a promise from a liar back then would actually turn the other party into a liar too. But one thing to say, how exactly does old man Zhang's second faith exist?

Actually, it's not just Zhang Jizu; Cheng Shi is curious about the faith status of all players who possess a second faith.

Because he always feels that the state in which he can switch faiths now is different from theirs.

Initially, under the influence of Hu Wei being able to directly use the power of 【Chaos】, he thought that the second faith simply added the blessings of a new profession and the talents of another faith.

But after learning that Hu Wei was a pure 【Chaos】 believer, he realized he was wrong. The 【War】 power used by the Grand Marshal all came from his giant sword, while the 【Chaos】 power he used was his true faith.

He has always been a single-faith believer!

Da Yi is the same.

Among the remaining few dual-faith players, he had never asked about Da Mao due to the need to play the mysterious "Destined One." Poison had just obtained a second faith and he hadn't had a chance to meet again. Qu Yan could be asked casually, but for a Messenger to ask a player these things was too unreasonable and beneath his status, so...

Among the people he knew, only Zhang Jizu, who had stepped onto the path of 【Deception】, remained to be asked.

And coincidentally, today, Zhang Jizu had come before him; this was truly a god-given opportunity.

However, thinking of this, Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed why old man Zhang came to find him. This dual believer of 【Death】 and 【Deception】 probably also wanted to synchronize what the situation of this second faith was like on others, and how it differed from his own dual personality!

Having figured out the other party's purpose, Cheng Shi nodded. After exchanging a look with Zhang Jizu, he spoke first:

"My faith hasn't merged; I just happened to obtain another personality by mistake. I can switch personalities to change my faith, but... the talents of the two faiths cannot be shared."

"So I can only be a clown, or, a Fate Weaver."

Cheng Shi's words were sincere and without concealment, which made Zhang Jizu pause slightly.

He squinted and sized Cheng Shi up for a moment, then said with some astonishment: "You seem to have changed a bit; you trust others more than before."

"Doesn't that depend on who it is!"

"As a walker of 【Void】 and an employee of that Lord, I naturally trust the employees of the brother company who are registered to work at our company more than outsiders."

Don't you think so, old man Zhang?"

Zhang Jizu was silent for a moment, noncommittal about this statement, but soon he spoke just as sincerely:

"I received the blessing of the Clown, and at the same time, I obtained three additional 【Deception】 faith talents. I don't need to switch; in the Gravekeeper state, I possess... 9 talents."

???

How many?

9 talents?

Old man Zhang must have 6 innate talents if he's over 2400 points. Does this mean faith fusion gave him three new talents?

Ah? Three?

No...

Who exactly is the darling of 【Void】!?

Cheng Shi was sour. He smacked his lips, frantically sizing up Zhang Jizu, his eyes almost leaking acid.

He looked for a long time before saying, not wanting to believe it: "Old man Zhang, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

Seeing Cheng Shi's expression, Zhang Jizu snorted and said: "Yes, you guessed right, I am lying to you."

The Master of Deception took effect again!

However, setting aside the Master of Deception, even if there was no expression on that small skull, Cheng Shi could tell that the squinting eyes were telling the truth.

Now Cheng Shi was even more sour.

So faith fusion really is the superposition of talents, but how exactly is the number of talents of this second faith calculated? What are the rules?

If one fusion can give three more faith talents, then...

Damn it, I didn't expect that after showing off for the entire last trial, I ended up being the clown, and that chameleon turned out to be the biggest winner!

Three 【Decay】 talents, he won big...

But another problem arises: why is everyone else's faith fusion a true fusion, while my faith fusion doesn't fuse, but is a switch of 【Void】 faith?

Just because 【Deception】 and 【Fate】 have conflicting opinions?

No, it doesn't look like it. There must be a deeper reason for this. When I see Them next time, I must find an opportunity to ask clearly.

Cheng Shi thought silently for a while, then looked at Zhang Jizu on the chair again, pouting:

"Old man Zhang, you didn't just come here to stimulate me, did you?"

"How long can this small bone state of yours last?"

"One-way?"

"Does that Lord have any more little toys? Can I also..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Jizu gave a light snort and spat out of thin air, spitting a key made of bone from that hollow mouth.

Cheng Shi was stunned. There really is one?

He hurriedly picked up the key, only to find that the key was only a finger long, and two characters were finely engraved on one side: Cheng Shi.

Hiss—

What is this, a work badge?

"A communication tool, a communication tool I prayed to Him for."

"I'm not as competitive as some people; I'm very pragmatic. It's necessary for allies to communicate with each other."

Allies?

This word is fresh.

Cheng Shi put away the key and laughed loudly: "Does this mean I can also go visit your graveyard? It just so happens my neighbor is gone, and I'm always short of corpses. Looking at it this way, you're here to deliver goods. But old man Zhang, what kind of... alliance is this between us?"

"?" Zhang Jizu was startled and blinked.

Allies are allies, why is there a "kind" of alliance?

Do friends who help each other have to have a title?

He looked at Cheng Shi speechlessly again and sighed:

"Visits aren't without time limits. That Lord spent a lot of effort to break the shackles of the 【Convention】 to come here. So, say what you have to say quickly; time is running out."

Cheng Shi actually hadn't intended to form any alliance, but since the conversation had reached this point and he remembered the "Destined One" established with Da Mao, he thought that since it was all cooperation, why not form some organization with old man Zhang too.

Thinking of this, since both of them are 【Deception】 believers and coincidentally both are clowns, why not call this "alliance"...

"Clown. We are all clowns in this world, standing on the stage of 【Deception】, telling the story of 【Void】 to the gods with absurd performances."

"Praise 【Deception】, old man Zhang, what do you think?"

There was no response from the rooftop, because the small skull on the chair had disappeared before he finished the first two words.

"......"

Looking at the empty rooftop, Cheng Shi smacked his lips awkwardly.

Heh, I, the clown, the clown among clowns.
