Chapter 643: In a peak game, they are one more shrewd than the next

In a peak game, they are one more shrewd than the next

Good, good, good, it's really not good!

Cheng Shi was amused, because he suddenly felt that the combination of Qin Xin and the blind man was quite a match—one "brainless" and reckless, the other planning before moving. Even though their performances were completely different, they fit his understanding of peak players, which was that this group of high-score players always had traits that made people marvel.

Including Wang Mou, who lied to conceal his profession from the start but suddenly exposed himself at a critical moment, and Li Wufang, who had good combat power and keen observation but still stumbled.

Looking at it this way, there really didn't seem to be any mediocre players in this game. But since there were no mediocre players, could that Wu Cun, who attempted to annihilate everything and even self-annihilate, really be so irritable and simple?

I'm afraid not.

Cheng Shi could think of this, and others naturally could too. Li Wufang frowned and looked at the street corner where Wu Cun had originally stood. He felt a trace of 【Annihilation】 power there that had not yet dissipated, but this power of 【Annihilation】 was different from the divine power everyone usually saw; it didn't look like it was annihilating anything, but rather like it was gestating something!

The investigator stated this phenomenon. Cheng Shi and Wang Mou were both stunned at the same time, and then they blurted out in unison:

"Newborn!"

For a time, the other two were attracted by their statement and looked over. Cheng Shi exchanged a glance with the Doctor, both having astonishment in their eyes that the other also knew about this.

Cheng Shi smiled, didn't explain too much, and left the current "highlight moment" to the knowledgeable believer of 【Truth】.

Wang Mou also indeed knew a little about 【Annihilation】, so he opened his mouth and said: "Wei Mu once said..."

"?"

No, wait a minute!

Cheng Shi was stunned. He really couldn't hold it back and sneered:

"Doctor, are you sure you are a follower of 【Truth】, and not a follower of 【Foolishness】?"

"Or to be more specific, aren't you a follower of Wei Mu?"

Wang Mou's tone paused. His expression wasn't embarrassed; instead, he said with a serious face: "What I pursue is only truth, unrelated to faith. If 【Foolishness】 is truth, then I count as a follower of 【Foolishness】."

"All my piety toward Him comes from my thirst for truth, and also from the power He bestowed. I believe that truth exists in this world, and my destination is to see the truth clearly."

"Currently, in my cognition, Wei Mu is undoubtedly the person closest to the truth, so I think he is right."

"..."

This scene, in Cheng Shi's view, was simply too funny. The believer of 【Truth】, who had always been labeled as calm and rational, was now behaving like a crazy and brainless fan of 【Foolishness】.

The most important thing was that he wasn't even a fan of 【Foolishness】, but of the God-Chosen of 【Foolishness】, that mysterious Behind-the-Scenes Dramatist!

Just how intelligent is this Wei Mu, to be able to make a peak 【Truth】 player worship him like this?

Cheng Shi was suddenly extremely curious about this God-Chosen of 【Foolishness】.

Wang Mou saw that Cheng Shi no longer interrupted and continued seriously:

"Wei Mu once said that the will of 【Annihilation】 is not simple annihilation. This is very easy to see when investigating the world-destroying intentions of world-destroyers."

"The purpose of 【Hand of Cleansing】 Luo Bosi destroying everything in this world was never for simple offering. He was helping his benefactor cleanse the vermin of this universe. Whether it was him or his benefactor, they both believed that this world was polluted, and the filth of the universe should end in the tail end of 【Sinking】."

"The divine name bestowed upon Luo Bosi clearly proves all of this."

"So, there is a consensus among high-score 【Truth】 and 【Foolishness】 players, which is that 【Annihilation】 is waiting for something to happen, and the prerequisite to satisfy this expectation of His is to create a brand-new world."

"The current universe seems unable to realize His wish, so 【Annihilation】 continues to influence His believers, bestowing various strange decrees upon them."

"And this is also the reason why He attempts to approach 【Nothingness】. He perhaps wants to borrow the power of 【Nothingness】 to accelerate His wish to annihilate everything."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's opinion of Wei Mu changed.

He felt that this believer of 【Foolishness】 said it very correctly...

Grand Marshal Hu Wei had also once said that annihilation was for the sake of a new birth. As for why He wanted a new birth, Cheng Shi had actually always been unable to figure it out, but now, he suddenly realized.

The believers of 【Truth】 and 【Foolishness】 didn't know what that expectation of 【Annihilation】 was, but Cheng Shi knew, and it was actually very easy to guess. If one could make a god have expectations, then the object of that expectation must be that unspeakable 【*Him】!

So, is 【Annihilation】 also a "Proximity Faction"?

Does He want to annihilate the old world and create a new world to please the 【Origin】?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, not daring to show too much doubt. He was afraid that his expression would attract the attention of others. Every one or two people present were sharp-witted, and everyone possessed keen observation. He didn't dare to find trouble for himself at this time, so he could only follow Wang Mou's words and lead the topic back to Wu Cun, so he asked a foolish question as if playing dumb:

"So, did she merge with 【Birth】?"

Wang Mou shook his head upon hearing this. There was no disdain like 【Foolishness】 in his eyes, only a correction stemming from 【Truth】.

"No, she has no second faith, and there is no aura of 【Birth】 in that storm of 【Annihilation】. This Annihilator should have found a Seed of 【Annihilation】, which is why she suddenly made a move, wanting us... to annihilate her."

"Her purpose was never to annihilate the Gate of Downward Fall. She made such an eye-catching 'feat' just to attract us, to let us, no, it should be to let you, Investigator, let you annihilate her."

Li Wufang's smile stiffened slightly, clearly realizing that he had walked into a trap.

And Cheng Shi had a look of humble instruction, because he had once again heard something he had never heard before.

Seed of 【Annihilation】?

It fits the taste. This is the peak game full of information. In a normal trial without conflict, without calculation, and without fighting to the death, everyone should exchange information so crazily. Only under the collision of different faith insights and the flushing of the information torrent can everyone harvest enough "materials" to pave their own "path to godhood."

This time, not only Cheng Shi, but the investigator Li Wufang had also never heard of this thing. He was the first to raise a question, and the one answering became Qin Xin, who had been smiling all along.

"You can imagine it as a blueprint for reconstructing the world."

"Don't doubt it, you heard it right. Although this Seed of 【Annihilation】 is born from world after world that has been thoroughly annihilated, it is as magical as a 【Memory】 creation, recording some things worth remembering in the annihilated worlds."

"Of course, this kind of thing is not memory, but the feedback of different things to the power of 【Annihilation】."

"No one knows how the Seed of 【Annihilation】 was created. People in the historical school generally believe it is the distracting thoughts that burst out when 【Annihilation】 personally annihilates a certain world."

"But I am more inclined to believe that this is Him understanding 【Existence】 through the way of 【Annihilation】."

"As long as you use the perception of 【Annihilation】 to deconstruct this seed, you can obtain the power of new birth. The civilization isolated tower of the Chaos Era invented the... Ball of Dramatization that people love and fear precisely by studying this kind of thing."

Ball of Dramatization!

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that there was still a water ball Mo Li had given him in his personal space.

"Our Annihilator teammate might just want to understand her benefactor from the new birth."

"She is definitely not a reckless person, but rather a very shrewd and pious follower."

Qin Xin looked toward the place where Wu Cun disappeared while speaking, his long sword waving, silently sending out a trace of 【Memory】 power.

"I have recorded the details of this place. If she appears again, relying on these, we should be able to find some traces."

"However, I am ultimately just a warrior. Things like tracking and searching or setting up pockets might still trouble the two of you."

"Wu Cun cannot not know about the 【Mirror of No-Legacy Dreams】. This kind of trick is useful the first time; coming a few more times will probably directly ignite the temper of 【Annihilation】 believers."

"So everyone, show your skills."

Qin Xin's words made a lot of sense, and the other two had no resistance. Li Wufang soon went to the scene to set up tracking traps, and Wang Mou no longer concealed his identity, directly wandering in the shadows to leave behind the trump cards of a doctor of assassination.

Cheng Shi looked at Wang Mou's departing figure, feeling very confused. Seeing that no one was around, he quietly asked Qin Xin:

"I see that this Doctor is not a person who maliciously causes trouble, so why insist on concealing his profession?"

"The weirdest thing is that he seems to have no psychological burden when exposing it. So what exactly is he doing? Do you have any thoughts?"

Qin Xin also frowned, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I'm not too sure, but I have indeed been matched with a high-score knowledgeable scholar surnamed Wang. The other also called himself Wang Mou and coincidentally belonged to the Mechanical Engineering school, but..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. How did it feel like this Wang Mou was deliberately acting as the person in Qin Xin's words?

"But what?"

"But he is already dead."

"Dead?" Cheng Shi was stunned again.

"Yes, in a game of 【Chaos】, he died by his own hand in grief and indignation, so I have a deep impression."

"So when I saw that this Wang Mou's appearance was slightly different from the one in my memory, I felt that there seemed to be some problems with him."

Good fellow, it turns out it wasn't just the Deception Master card; Qin Xin had really encountered similar people.

"Then do you know that original person? What was his name?"

"Wang Weijin, if I remember correctly, his name was Wang Weijin."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light that was almost imperceptible flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes.

This wasn't because he had heard of this name, but because...

A believer of 【Memory】, how could he say something like "if I remember correctly"?

If even a believer of 【Memory】 could remember incorrectly, then how could other players talk about memory.

Interesting. Could there still be a story behind this founder of Fire-Spreading?

Cheng Shi glanced at Qin Xin silently and remembered the Deception Master card in the other's hand again.

Things were getting more and more interesting.
