Familiar Long Table Talks

The seating at the long table on the terrace had new changes.
Afu Luosi didn't place a chair at the head of the table where He should have sat, but instead pulled out a chair and sat opposite Cheng Shi.
The two sat on either side of the long table, leaving the final main seat at the head of the table for Hong Lin, who was still looking around.
Hong Lin raised her eyebrows, didn't stand on ceremony, and sat down generously. She took in the beautiful scenery all around, watched the pious servants serve delicious food and drinks one after another, and looked at Cheng Shi with some interest, her tone strange:
"You call this a cage?"
Just from this sentence, Cheng Shi knew that even if Hong Lin had some understanding of Afu Luosi, it was limited. Perhaps she only knew there was such a person and had heard some past events about this person, but didn't know what had happened to Him.
So He smiled and explained the matter of Duoer Gede, and then cleverly pulled the strings to "pull" Afu Luosi closer.
"So, this prisoner of 【Existence】 is actually a friend of our 【Void】. Am I right, Fulazhuo? The enemy of an enemy is our friend."
This sentence makes sense, but Hong Lin still didn't dare to relax her vigilance against 【Filth】. She knew too well what kind of people they were; for the sake of desire, His believers were simply unscrupulous.
Afu Luosi saw Hong Lin's vigilance, but He didn't resist. What kind of reputation 【Filth】 had in the eyes of the gods, perhaps no one understood better than His Messenger.
He couldn't ask a "True God successor" to change her view of Him. If Ge Lis's consciousness wasn't too persistent and crazy, He would even prefer to use that form to face this guest who was also 【Life】.
Therefore, He was very satisfied with Cheng Shi's introduction. After Cheng Shi finished speaking, Afu Luosi clapped with a smile.
"I know that as a prisoner, I might not be able to be friends with 【Void】, but I will definitely not be an enemy of 【Void】.
I like this era, I like everything in this era. However, I have a little curiosity.
My brother, why do you and this noble Lady Fulazhuo... both call yourselves 【Void】?"
"......"
Damn it, I let it slip, I forgot about this.
Cheng Shi's expression froze, and He smacked his lips. Hong Lin was even more stunned, and then her expression turned gloomy. In their consensus, this matter should be hidden as much as possible, trying to delay the time of exposure so that she could quietly set up information barriers and gain more advantages in subsequent exchanges and confrontations.
But now, in order to pull each other closer, this hook of 【Void】 was exposed.
But this couldn't stump a clown who could act.
Cheng Shi's expression changed quickly again. After giving two awkward laughs, He became much more serious.
He looked at Afu Luosi with burning eyes and said word by word in a solemn tone that the other party had never seen before:
"Afu Luosi, I'm not sure if your 【Filth】 power pulled my desire and made me relax..."
To be honest, as a Messenger of 【Filth】, the 【Filth】 aura on Afu Luosi was constantly pulling the surrounding emotions, but this faint pull could be completely countered by the door key in Cheng Shi's hand and couldn't affect him at all.
He said this purely to shift the blame, and at the same time to put some pressure on the other party. He was deliberately creating a tense atmosphere and mysterious emotions, and the purpose was naturally to deceive people.
All the tricks of a liar are to deceive people.
"... so that I inadvertently revealed some little secrets of 【Void】.
But I suggest that before you decide to completely trust me and lean toward 【Void】, it's better to forget what just happened."
Sure enough, everything was as I expected, involving 【Void】's struggle for authority against Them!
However...
Forget?
Afu Luosi smiled, a smile full of desire blooming on his face.
Forgetting is easier said than done, not to mention that He was originally a fan of desire. How is letting a 【Filth】 follower give up the desire in his heart different from letting Him break his oath?
Absolutely impossible.
But Afu Luosi isn't stupid. He understood Cheng Shi's meaning. That meaning clearly said that if you want to know more stories about 【Void】, you must get closer to 【Void】.
Therefore, He also became vigilant.
He had to consider that the other party was a Messenger of 【Deception】. Cheng Shi's words just now might not have been a slip of the tongue, but deliberate, just to push Himself one step further and let Himself slowly walk toward... the abyss of 【Deception】.
Although getting close to 【Void】 in the era of 【Void】 is not wrong, 【Deception】 is too fake and 【Fate】 is too mysterious. Up to now, all His understanding of 【Void】 came from the mouth of a 【Void】 walker. He wasn't sure if this Messenger of 【Deception】 would lie to Him, and He was even more afraid that making a choice rashly would cause some irreversible impact on Himself.
Although Afu Luosi couldn't escape this cage of 【Time】, He reincarnated again and again, waiting year after year. His purpose certainly wasn't self-abuse, but to be able to continue His grand wish one day.
He was wondering if getting close to 【Void】 would make His wish come true, or would it make Him fall into the void and no longer exist?
Originally, only facing Cheng Shi, He didn't need to consider so much, because this brother 【Envoy Yu Xi】 wasn't that powerful, at least before finding the mask, He wasn't that powerful.
So Afu Luosi felt that before He faced the strength of 【Void】, He should have enough time to understand this era.
But now, it seems a bit too late, especially after seeing a... Fulazhuo who possessed 【Prosperity】 authority.
This Fulazhuo's identity must be fake, because He had seen the real Fulazhuo. That eldest daughter of 【Prosperity】 wasn't like the current one, possessing such a beautiful and healthy appearance and physique.
She was very thin, and under the divine oppression of her mother, her growth wasn't robust.
Not to mention that she had long since died, died in her mother's arms.
So this fake Fulazhuo should be like Envoy Yu Xi, also a walker of 【Void】? Or a Messenger?
Has 【Void】 already begun to openly seize the authority of the gods?
Even if this is a filth that the gods know about each other, how did 【Void】 snatch authority from 【Prosperity】's hands?
In Afu Luosi's cognition, 【Prosperity】 couldn't possibly share authority with her children, let alone a walker of 【Void】.
What exactly went wrong with this second god of 【Life】?
Afu Luosi, who couldn't guess the cause and effect, suddenly fell into entanglement. He should have followed His heart and followed His desire, but now desire had also branched out. Both the conservative and radical lines looked like they had a bright future, so that the confused pathfinder stood at the crossroads of fate and hesitated helplessly.
This entanglement was reflected on the surface, and Afu Luosi's aura began to fluctuate, becoming extremely mixed, and the pull of 【Filth】 around Him was also slowly strengthening.
He looked at Cheng Shi with a complex expression and said faintly:
"My good brother, Messenger of 【Deception】, Lord Envoy Yu Xi...
Are you lying to me again?"
As soon as the words fell, before Cheng Shi could react, Da Mao moved first.
Her pupils shrank as she looked at Cheng Shi. The sharp gaze like a leopard revealed infinite doubt, and the expression clearly asked:
"How did you become a Messenger of 【Deception】 again?"
"......"
Cheng Shi was numb. He could only return dry laughs to both sides at the same time, and then frantically shouted in his heart:
Come on, let the lies come more violently! ===== CHAPTER 566 =====
