Making Puppets

The terrace suddenly became quiet, and even the servants around quietly retreated, leaving only three people with different expressions frowning and thinking at the long table.

Cheng Shi was thinking, according to Afu Luosi's words, gods like 【Ming Lei】 should be considered subordinate gods of a certain 【Path】. At least They truly possessed independent authority and were subordinate to a True God.

Most importantly, after the era collapsed, They could start all over again, accept the piety of believers, and descend again.

On the other hand, the so-called Messengers now are more like dependents of True Gods, protected by True Gods to retain memories, and then start to practice the will of Their benefactors again when the era comes again. This looks a bit like high-level workers spreading the will of True Gods, for example... myself.

So, rounding up, I am a Messenger.

Hmm, reasonable.

"......"

Cheng Shi was suddenly amused by his own thoughts. The other two saw Cheng Shi laugh out loud and cast curious gazes.

"My brother, what did you think of again?"

Cheng Shi hurriedly shook his head: "Nothing, just felt that my answer to you was too rough and couldn't count as an information exchange. Afu Luosi, you can ask another question."

Afu Luosi smiled in surprise. He looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, nodded and said:

"Generosity is a virtue.

It just so happens that I have another doubt I want you to help me answer. I originally convinced myself and believed your lies, but when I felt the same aura of lies on Lady Fulazhuo today, I couldn't help but want to ask out of curiosity:

The memories you said you lost, did you really lose them?"

"!"

This sentence made Hong Lin nervous. She seemed to be looking at Afu Luosi, but in fact, her peripheral vision was already asking Cheng Shi for help.

However, Da Mao could be considered a person who had seen the world. Since she attended the Divine Convention meeting with her eyes closed, she had some confidence to face some existences under the gods, so she didn't show any big flaws at the moment.

Cheng Shi was the same. He had been dancing on the tip of the knife of lies for I don't know how long and had long been accustomed to big storms. Hearing Afu Luosi ask this, after slightly sizing up the other party's expression and attitude, He pulled out a slightly mysterious smile and didn't make a sound.

Because He saw it, Afu Luosi seemed to already have the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, because of Cheng Shi's "non-response," Afu Luosi suddenly laughed. Although this smile was full of teasing, He still tried His best to maintain a "good brother" persona in front of Hong Lin.

"I guessed right, didn't I?

Although I don't know how Lady Fulazhuo, who inherited the 【Prosperity】 authority, was affected, as I expected, you didn't really lose your memories.

Especially you, my brother, Lord Envoy Yu Xi.

Perhaps your mask is indeed broken, but that is not the real reason why you lost your memories.

I didn't think of these originally, but since learning more and more 【Void】 events from your mouth, I suddenly realized that 【Void】 is affecting the universe in a way I can't see the pattern of.

And affecting the universe means They are 'eroding' 【Existence】!

So, your memories were tampered with by 【Memory】, right?

She is using this method to resist the invasion of 【Void】 and slow down the speed at which the subordinate gods of 【Void】 spread 【Void】.

Heh, did I guess right, my brother?"

"......"

"......"

I thought you touched a king bomb, but you threw out a pair of threes.

Right, too right, brother!

I don't want it!

As long as you can convince yourself, whatever you say is right. Anyway, no matter what you say, the fact that what I say is a lie must be true.

So I say mine, you believe yours, we don't disturb each other, this relationship is simply harmonious!

However, seeing Afu Luosi so confident, Cheng Shi's desire to perform came up.

Only then did the embarrassment in his eyes flash away. He opened his mouth slightly, looking like He wanted to respond to Afu Luosi, but soon closed his mouth, pouted, and pretended not to hear, shifting his gaze casually, as if to cover up his embarrassment.

These subtle movements all indicated that He was desperately trying to save face. But the more this was the case, the more Afu Luosi felt that this brother of His wasn't as mysterious as He imagined. At least, He still had joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and still cared about face.

Sure enough, guessed it!

Afu Luosi smiled.

However, at this time, as a good brother, He naturally wouldn't tease anything anymore, so He had to give a light laugh, look at Hong Lin, and change the topic:

"Lady Fulazhuo, forgive my presumption. Sensing emotions is like a sixth sense beyond the five senses to me, and it cannot be cut off, so I can probably guess that you didn't come here just to look for 'memories', there seems to be something else to do.

I thought about it, before you and I met, the only thing that could interest you was the 【Decay】 believer my brother left here.

I don't know much about Yuge, but this 【Decay】 believer can... be made by you.

Of course, if you have special needs, I believe that whether it is Afu Luosi or Ge Lis, in terms of punishing 'blasphemers', we can help a little."

Afu Luosi finally began His show of favor after gaining a lot of era information. This was an excellent signal for Cheng Shi and Hong Lin, which meant that the things Cheng Shi wanted to promote were finally achieved at this moment.

Da Mao's information channel, done!

Hong Lin raised her eyebrows and generously accepted it. She didn't shy away from explaining that she did this to eliminate the 【Decay】 in this world. As for whether her means would help 【Decay】 get closer to 【*Him】...

She guessed that at least before 【Prosperity】 completely overwhelmed 【Decay】, it shouldn't.

"I still lack some followers. Although my followers are very pious, prosperous people can't do decaying things, so that 【Decay】 believer is still useful to me.

You are right, I did come for him."

Since Cheng Shi didn't object, it meant they had long been eyeing this unlucky guy. Afu Luosi nodded, waved His hand casually, and a team of servants dragged Yu Mu, who was imprisoned in Ge Lis's resentment, to the terrace.

Under His influence, Yu Mu's consciousness was far from returning.

He was now like a lamb to be slaughtered, on the chopping block of three "Hims," without even a trace of resistance, not even the thought of resistance.

This Twilight Hunter probably didn't expect that the "Old Bow" he stated at the Yongren meeting would become the twilight swan song he could hear.

Hong Lin saw the person coming, a different color flashed in her eyes, and she immediately took out a piece of cyan tree bark from the space and smiled and pasted it on Yu Mu.

Cheng Shi looked curiously and just wanted to ask what this was, when He heard Afu Luosi on the side sigh as if watching a play: "Firm Tree Contract!"

"What is that?"

"A servant contract that can bestow firm skin and tree bark on the target. The most powerful part of this contract is not the permanent defensive ability it comes with, but that when the contract is signed, it doesn't need the other party's consent!

This is a coercive contract that uses parasitism as a means. Although it transforms the target's shell, it also parasitizes the other party's soul.

Rather than a contract, it's more like an instrument of torture.

The parasitized individual will lose self-consciousness and submit to the contractor, becoming a tree servant with no thoughts and only listening to orders."

As soon as Afu Luosi finished speaking, the piece of cyan tree bark had slowly merged into Yu Mu's body. I saw this old man, whose skin was wrinkled and piled up like a mountain, suddenly smoothed out all the 【Decay】 traces by a force of 【Prosperity】. The wrinkles and dead skin all turned into rough, firm skin similar to tree bark, and the closed eyes slowly opened, with a touch of emerald light flashing in the scattered pupils.

Hiss—

Seeing this vision, Cheng Shi took a deep breath.

"What's the difference between this and a desire puppet?" He turned to look at Da Mao and asked.

"Tree servants have no self-desire and are more obedient. Most importantly, they can be regarded as dead objects and put into... you know."

Hong Lin saw that in just a few sentences, she had really turned the second-in-command of the 【Decay】 camp into her puppet, her expression a bit sighing and a bit excited.

"Good harvest this time, not only an extra helper, but also seems to have met a... new friend?

The identity of 【Prosperity】 is not suitable for too much contact with 【Sinking】, but I can occasionally be Fulazhuo.

A simple... 【Void】 walker."

She smiled at Afu Luosi, but saw a flash of light in Afu Luosi's eyes, a look of "as I expected," and then elegantly raised the wine glass:

"It is my honor to be a friend of Lady Fulazhuo.

Then my brother, what are you waiting for? Let's... cheers for our new friend?"

"Cheers!"

Hong Lin raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, extremely heroic.

On the other hand, Cheng, He just raised his glass with the two, and then put the glass back.

Not only that, but after his hand hung down from the table, He even wiped it back and forth on his pants.

He didn't mind Afu Luosi's helpless gaze and Da Mao's astonished eyes at all, and smiled brightly with curled lips.

Things of unknown origin cannot be drunk indiscriminately, and the same goes for things given by friends. This is a lesson practiced from others.

After all, this world is too complicated, it's better to be steady.
