Chapter 681: Can I trust you, An Mingyu?

~8 min read 1,581 words

Can I trust you, An Mingyu?

Qin Xin left, leaving cleanly and neatly.

However, Cheng Shi could still see quite a few things from his departure. At least the other party was still a fire-spreader, at least the other party had no malice, and the other party clearly sensed that the trial he was facing had changed, knowing that the "discrepancy" of 【Time】 had begun to happen to the players.

Cheng Shi wasn't surprised by all this. After all, if even the founder of the fire-spreaders wasn't sharp enough, then this organization might have fallen apart at the beginning of its founding.

Looking at it this way, in this chaotic trial of 【Time】, he seemed to be able to trust one more person.

But the premise was that the discrepancy of 【Time】 would no longer happen.

After Qin Xin left, Cheng Shi walked slowly to the blind woman's side. The warehouse was large, and the believers of 【Foolish】 and 【Truth】 were experimenting meticulously in the center of the warehouse. Apart from the experiment at hand, the three of them were not interested in anything beside them.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi sighed with a smile:

"It seems that desire and trouble are directly proportional. The less desire, the less trouble.

Just like the doctor, all he wants is to replicate this experiment of extracting divinity. As for the rest, perhaps he doesn't want to care about any of it."

The blind woman turned her head slightly to "look" at Cheng Shi and also smiled: "That's true, but what you said should only be the doctor at the moment."

"!"

Sure enough, the blind woman really knew. It seemed that Qin Xin's abnormality had made both fire-spreaders realize the changes in the trial.

This was a good thing, at least it saved him the effort of explaining. But...... this wasn't a good thing, because it meant that it wouldn't be long before all players would know what was happening in this trial.

"Is he...... still worth trusting?" Cheng Shi asked with a slightly strange tone.

"......"

The blind woman was stunned, then shook her head and laughed.

"What a Cheng Shi, you are truly honest.

First of all, I have to thank you for your trust, but, Fate Weaver, you seem to have asked the wrong person.

Qin Xin and I are both fire-spreaders, so our relationship is naturally closer. I definitely trust him more than I trust you, so what kind of answer are you expecting when you ask me this kind of question?"

Cheng Shi heard this and sneered mercilessly:

"Don't deceive yourself, An God's Chosen. If you trusted him more than you trusted me, you wouldn't have said nothing when he left.

Yes, he might still be a fire-spreader, but he is not the fire-spreader you know.

The fire he spreads cannot ignite your dreams.

And the fire of yours, he has never spread either.

So don't test me anymore. I'll only ask you one sentence: do you want to go back?"

"Go back where?" The blind woman tilted her head and asked.

"Back to where you have always been spreading fire."

"How are you sure that that place isn't the land under our feet?"

Cheng Shi laughed, laughed loudly. He looked at the blind woman with a slightly mocking gaze and sneered again:

"So, you know where you are?

How come, did our Benefactor tell you?

Did He tell you that you haven't been interfered with by the 'discrepancy' of 【Time】, and you are the only lucky one in this trial?"

"......"

"It seems not. Did your divination fail again?

How many points, take it out and let me see."

The blind woman pursed her lips and stretched out her hand. In her palm lay a book page depicting the 【Silence】 domain, and on the page was an 18-sided die with 2 points facing up.

The blind woman had said that apart from divining Cheng Shi, she rarely rolled a 1, so 2 points were the greatest negation bestowed by 【Fate】 for her.

And seeing this 2 points, Cheng Shi's heart sank.

Although he had been thinking that he might have been interfered with by 【Time】 and stepped into His trap, that was just a defensive mentality of preparing for the worst. But when he truly confirmed this from the blind woman's mouth, a trace of fear still appeared in the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, the world has changed!

Or rather, he had been thrown out of the original timeline and came to a strange world.

Cheng Shi's brow furrowed, his steady heart rising again. He was afraid he would misunderstand, so he confirmed with the blind woman with a serious face: "What did you divine?"

The blind woman's expression became equally solemn: "I asked Him a second time if I belonged to this starry sky, but this time, He said...... no."

"!!!"

"Second time? When was the first time?" Cheng Shi was stunned, then thought of something, and realized with a start, "You also have a Master of Deception card!"

The blind woman nodded, but her expression wasn't good.

"The first time was the moment I was just resurrected. In a trial of 【Time】, I had to remain cautious to confirm that I hadn't fallen into any trap of 【Time】, so I specifically divined once."

"......"

The worst situation finally appeared!

Now Cheng Shi didn't just have to face teammates from different timelines, but even had to think of ways to return to the timeline he belonged to.

He didn't want to "leave his hometown" for no reason, and he didn't want to be thrown around by 【Time】 like a ball in a clown's hand.

And to achieve all this, he must find the conditions for the appearance of "discrepancies" as soon as possible and use the so-called "discrepancies" to find the way home.

So, Cheng Shi decided not to waste time playing riddles with the blind woman. He directly took out his die, placed it in the blind woman's palm, let the 1 point that never changed align with the other party's 2 points, and then grasped the other party's hand across the two dice, looking at the blind woman's tightly closed eyes with burning gaze, extremely serious and sincere:

"Can I trust you, An Mingyu?"

This was the first time Cheng Shi called the blind woman's name. The blind woman's brow furrowed slightly, feeling the temperature of the die in her palm, and replied word by word:

"You...... can trust me, at least in this trial, you can trust me completely.

But after this trial, Cheng Shi, I won't remember what happened between us, so I won't be able to confirm whether I will still trust you."

"!!!"

It's her, it's really her!

The blind woman didn't change. She heard his probe and gave the most sincere response again!

Cheng Shi was extremely happy. This "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" that was finally confirmed made his heart suddenly feel a bit more solid. Fortunately, the misfortune among the fortunes was that the initial blind woman hadn't changed.

"So, Fate Weaver, can I trust you?"

Cheng Shi smiled, smiled brightly.

"Of course you can. Whether it's memory exchange or a heart-to-heart game, you can trust me."

The blind woman finally showed a knowing smile. She nodded, didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave Cheng Shi the most intuitive information reference.

"Qin Xin was swapped in the shantytown. The current him...... comes from a world where fire-spreading is not easy."

"And the me of that world has already become a true fire-spreader."

True fire-spreading?

"That Qin Xin comes from the future?" Cheng Shi asked in surprise.

"No, I'm not sure. I can't confirm where he comes from just by brief communication, but I tend to think, yes."

Cheng Shi nodded with a solemn face.

"I'm also not quite sure which period Li Wu comes from, but I know he comes from an organization called the Person of Destiny, and in this organization, at least at the moment, he shouldn't have been there."

"Person of Destiny?" The blind woman was stunned. She carefully savored the name of this organization, her face full of astonishment, "This sounds like an organization that worships 【Fate】?"

"Not bad, this is an organization that worships 【Fate】, but what they worship is not the complete 【Fate】, but the 【Predestination】 of 【Fate】."

"You know this organization? No, you joined this organization?"

The blind woman was shocked. She originally thought that a person like Cheng Shi wouldn't join any organization. Otherwise, with such "generous" conditions of the fire-spreaders, the other party wouldn't be completely unmoved.

Cheng Shi smiled, shook his head, and grasped the blind woman's hand again.

"Yes, and no. I didn't join this organization, but...... I founded this organization."

"What!!??"

The blind woman was stunned. And amidst her full astonishment, Cheng Shi took back his die, threw it at his feet, and issued the most sincere invitation to this believer of 【Fate】 in front of him.

"An God's Chosen, you are one of the few lucky ones who can know about this organization. And now, I formally invite you to join us, to join the Person of Destiny."

As he was speaking, the die of 【Fate】 slowly rolled out a 1 point at Cheng Shi's feet.

And at this moment of predestined fate, Cheng Shi prayed piously:

"The coming path and the going path, all are predestined!" ===== CHAPTER 682 =====
