Chapter 618

Set off! Mi Lao Zhang's cemetery

Cheng Shi was slightly stunned. After feeling the incomparably pure 【Death】 aura, he cautiously withdrew his hand and let go of the key, then picked up a bamboo pole by his feet and tentatively reached toward the pale white door before him.

He didn't distrust that adult, nor was he worried about the safety inside the door. He was simply afraid that Mi Lao Zhang, who had become his brother of the same faith, had played tricks inside this door and wanted to use a scam to trick him into becoming a real clown.

So at this moment, Cheng Steady went online again.

But facts proved that Cheng Shi, who chose to be steady, became a real clown, because there were no traps in this door at all. The moment he touched the bone door with the bamboo pole, "whoosh——", his whole person was sucked in.

By the time Cheng Shi reacted, he found that he had turned into a small skull, appearing in a......

Hmm? No, what about the cemetery?

Where is this a cemetery? Isn't this a mass grave?

Looking at the scene around him like a desolate wilderness, Cheng Shi felt a bit horrified and hugged...... he couldn't hug tight, because the skull had no hands.

Cheng Shi was stunned. He hopped onto a protruding rock, looking at the desolate slope with rising cold winds around him, his mandible opening and closing, unable to speak for a long time.

It was too desolate here, with gravel everywhere and weeds growing. Under the illumination of the pale moonlight, it was a scene of desolation, without even a trace of human activity, let alone the tombstones and huts Mi Lao Zhang mentioned.

Cheng Shi observed for a long time and found that he was probably at the bottom of a long slope. In his current appearance, if he wanted to climb over this long slope, he estimated he would have to jump all night.

As for why not go down the long slope in the opposite direction......

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Behind his skull now was an air wall. That adult's teleportation sent him to the "corner" of Mi Lao Zhang's house, so Cheng Shi now only had one choice, and that is...... bravely climb the peak!

He had vaguely seen some faint light behind the long slope. After pondering for a moment, he felt that Mi Lao Zhang's so-called cemetery was probably behind this long slope, and this place might be the abandoned part of the cemetery edge.

What is this, a show of force?

No, you come to my house and I entertain you with a chair like a divine throne, but when I come to your place, you give me this?

Good, good, good, Mi Lao Zhang, oh Mi Lao Zhang, I've noted this grudge!

The road before Cheng Shi looked like it would be an extremely difficult journey, but this couldn't stump a warrior of today with dice in hand, oh no, a bone of today.

So he took out his 【Fate】 dice, and then...... silently put it back, changed to an amplifier, fiddled with it for a long time, and gave a loud roar toward the mic.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang, please reply if you hear me, please reply if you hear me, over."

Yes, the bone of today gave up at the last minute. Why move the mandible when you can use your brain?

Jumping around is also very tiring. Since he had already arrived at Mi Lao Zhang's door, it wouldn't be too much to ask him to come out and pick someone up, right?

Zhang Jizu's response was much faster than Cheng Shi imagined. Before the last "over" fell, a figure had already appeared on the long slope.

He squinted a pair of eyes that could hardly be seen in the night, looked down cautiously, and when he saw the small skull jumping and greeting him, he was slightly bewildered:

"Cheng Shi?"

"It's not that I'm saying, Old Zhang, your door is a bit broken. What kind of place is this without even a light? I almost thought I took the wrong road."

Zhang Jizu didn't come down to pick him up immediately, but smiled and nodded above: "You did take the wrong road. This is not the entrance to the cemetery, but land that hasn't been reclaimed when the cemetery was expanded. I usually use this place to entertain enemies."

???

Enemies?

Good, good, good, I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as an enemy!

Grudge doubled!

Cheng Shi laughed in anger. He pointed with his mandible and said: "Then I would like to know, how do you entertain friends!?"

Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Also like this, also here."

?

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

"Before confirming who the intruder is, they are treated as enemies. Of course, if it is confirmed to be a friend, they will naturally be invited up. However, Cheng Shi, you have to wait a while.

This is a magic array I set up in the cemetery. No matter where the space-time fluctuation appears, it will eventually be distorted and teleported here. This is also one of the cemetery's defense mechanisms.

This cemetery is too big, I must be more vigilant.

Of course, don't be anxious. Let me see, in another 2 minutes, after the 'backlash' buff of the magic array disappears, I will take you up."

"......"

Cheng Shi was stunned. He had always thought that his defense strategy on the rooftop was cautious enough, even cautious to the point of being slightly neurotic, but today, compared to Zhang Steady, he was still too far behind.

With such a prop, he actually chose to set it up in a rest area that was isolated from outsiders by the 【Faith Game】 rules and could not be entered at will.

No, who exactly are you guarding against? Imaginary enemies, right!

Cheng Shi's expression became extremely strange, his eye sockets almost deformed. He looked at Zhang Jizu and said unpleasantly: "Let me guess, I wouldn't be the first 'enemy' entertained by your magic array, right?"

Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes and nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, your visit provided me with a lot of feedback. I think I can improve it further."

"......" Cheng Shi swore that he only didn't ask Mi Lao Zhang for a test fee for the sake of that adult. "Fine, okay, really not bad. But Old Zhang, I still want to ask what this backlash buff is?"

"After the teleportation is triggered, this corner of the cemetery will be locked within 5 minutes. If faith power is used, the intruder will be attacked by the power of the opposing faith that is born out of thin air. This is a method from the trap master of the Tower of Reason. It's easy to use, but expensive.

So it's best not to waste it. Hmm, the time is up."

As he spoke, Zhang Jizu walked down from the long slope quickly, but when he walked near Cheng Shi, he suddenly stopped his steps and didn't get too close.

This action stunned Cheng Shi, and then he said speechlessly: "Are there any other mechanisms?"

Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes and smiled: "No, I'm afraid you'll be angry and do something to me, so I took the initiative to defend against it. But you didn't.

This doesn't look like you. Hmm, it seems you came here today with something to ask of me?"

"......"

Cheng Shi was numb. He looked at the Mi Lao Zhang before him numbly, and for a moment felt that the other party was so strange.

Good, good, good. I don't think you look like any 【Death】 chosen one. The benefactor who protects you should be called 【Steady】!

"Don't look at me like that. If you have something to say, say it. You should know that the special trial is just around the corner. Could it be that you want to enter the trial here?"

Seeing Cheng Shi motionless in speechlessness, Zhang Jizu chuckled, picked up the small skull and placed it on his shoulder, and then walked slowly toward the cemetery.

Cheng Shi stood on Mi Lao Zhang's shoulder, bounced twice and said: "I always feel that you have become lively. Is it my illusion?"

"Is it? Why don't I feel it?"

"Yes, absolutely. It seems the God of Fun has started to influence you, I......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Shi stopped in shock, because at this moment Zhang Jizu had taken him over the long slope, and what caught his eye was row upon row of scale-like tombstones.

This cemetery was completely different from the simple cemetery in Cheng Shi's dream. The style here was very flashy, especially the front part of the cemetery. Almost every tomb had exquisite decorations comparable to miniature courtyards, which looked like the tombstone setter had spent a lot of money on decoration.

Not only that, a few candles were lit before each tombstone, the weak flames flickering in the cold wind but not being blown out. Thousands of candle flames crisscrossed, outlining a quite spectacular residence for 【Death】 believers.

Looking at the such a huge number of tombstone groups that far exceeded his estimation, Cheng Shi was bewildered:

"How many people did you plant in this cemetery?"

Plant people?

Zhang Jizu was stunned listening to this fresh statement. The next second he realized that Cheng Shi meant burying dead people. He shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"The tombs that really bury people may only be half or even less. The others are just commemorative mounds I carved for those teammates who died in the trial."

"Are you remembering their deaths?

Mi Lao Zhang, oh Mi Lao Zhang, you finally have a handle in my hands. You have already stepped onto the path of 【Deception】, yet you still dare to do this kind of sneaky blasphemy in the rest area. Next time I see the God of Fun, I will definitely report you."

"......"

Zhang Jizu stopped talking. His squinted eyes couldn't see the color, but the expression on his face rose with a trace of embarrassment.

Cheng Shi saw that he finally pulled back a city, looked around proudly, and not long after, he was happy again. He kicked the shoulder of the squinting eyes, looked at the tombstone closest to his feet, and said in a strange tone again:

"No, Old Zhang, you are also a blasphemy professional?

If I didn't see it wrong, the '【Order】' carved on this tombstone refers to the one on the divine throne?

Tsk, you have quite a lot of guts, actually daring to secretly carve tombstones for the gods?

Do you want...... to let Them die?"

"......"

"A bit interesting, but having said that, is there one for the God of Fun?"

"......?"
