Chapter 743: In a good play, the Clown is never absent

In a good play, the Clown is never absent

(I think, adding two updates should also be considered an update, right?)

It took a long time for Cheng Shi to recover from the dizziness and weakness. He finally had the strength to give himself a healing spell and a mental spell. After his strength began to recover gradually, he climbed up again and said resignedly:

"The punishment is over, benefactor, can we continue?"

"Why do you have so many questions today?"

Cheng Shi curled his lips, thinking: *Isn't it because you have so much time today? *

I finally know why 【Time】 has no time; it turns out it was all tricked away by you.

"Eager to learn!" Cheng Shi moved his body and asked persistently toward those eyes: "Benefactor, this faith fusion is finally over. I roughly know the thoughts of my benefactors, but for the sake of my own life, I have to ask one more question: What is 【Foolishness】's opinion on this matter?

【Fate】 wants to approach 【Foolishness】. I can feel this, and 【Foolishness】 summoned me. Do you know about this?"

"Oh? So you are......"

"I am the darling of 【Foolishness】, so you know."

"...... Boring." Those eyes blinked, and the stars and spirals gradually calmed down.

A Clown who could answer questions had made Him lose the fun of teasing the Clown.

"No need to care about Him, just a loser who refuses to admit defeat. Except for that stinky mouth, He has nothing."

"......"

Cheng Shi smacked his lips, always feeling that at this moment, the God of Joy before his eyes was 【Foolishness】.

*Look at what I said, you two merge, there will definitely be fun. *

But in order to save his life, Cheng Shi immediately stopped his thoughts, frowned, and asked suspiciously: "But I clearly saw a towering high tower in His temple. The abyss-like bottom of the tower made me feel fear just by looking at it. And those white-eyed wind chimes, everywhere exuding the divine power of 【Foolishness】. Does He really have nothing left?"

"You said you 'saw' it. You also 'saw' 【Time】's temple today. Is what you saw true?" 【Deception】 sneered.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Shi was dumbfounded, "That is also a false appearance? He stole your authority?"

"He dares!"

"That is His own authority. He is different from 【Truth】. 【Truth】 values action, while 【Foolishness】 values knowledge.

He can observe your thoughts, and then use His means to reorganize the things you hope to see, and use this cognition to deter you.

Simply put, what you see is just your own imagination. You think He will be like that, so He becomes like that.

What you see is what you know. Stinky Mouth was once the wisest existence in this universe, but unfortunately......"

Unfortunately!?

Cheng Shi shivered, remembering what Mouth Brother said: He lost His authority!

Could it be that he was going to know the truth of this matter today? Cheng Shi was excited. He looked at 【Deception】 with expectation, his eyes almost reflecting four words: "Unfortunately what?"

"Unfortunately, 【Nothingness】 descended, and I, your benefactor, became the wisest god in this universe. Stinky Mouth is second."

"......"

The light of hope in Cheng Shi's eyes went out.

Benefactor, let's not talk about whether 【Foolishness】's wisdom is second. His annoying energy is definitely second. As for who is first......

I dare not say.

Those eyes seemed to see Cheng Shi's thoughts, teasing:

"I advise some Clowns to be cautious in their words. The crime of blasphemy is very heavy, and I am not always so tolerant."

*You are still tolerant? *

*My brain was almost shaken even, where are you tolerant? *

Of course, he didn't dare to refute. Cheng Shi curled his lips and thought of another thing.

"Benefactor, since you are protecting the Fire-Spreaders, and I am your follower, I have to give you a heads-up. Of course, all this is out of piety, nothing else.

I learned that little Deng spread rumors about the Fire-Spreaders in the previous trial, which might make them fall into a difficult situation. If you know about this, treat it as if I didn't say it. But if you don't know, is there...... any room for redemption?"

Those eyes turned meaningfully and smiled:

"Why, are you also a Fire-Spreader now?"

Cheng Shi straightened his body, his expression serious:

"Yes!

I am spreading the fire of 【Deception】, so you are not wrong to say that I am a Fire-Spreader."

"Pfft—

I gave you the talent ability to let you deceive others, not to deceive yourself.

The Clown is worthy of being a Clown, but you don't need to remind me at all times that you are a Clown.

This matter doesn't need to be redeemed. Next time, don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about."

"No need to redeem?" Cheng Shi didn't understand the benefactor's meaning for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that he lied to me? But it doesn't look like it."

"He didn't lie to you. This follower of 【Time】 did spread the news about that group of Clowns everywhere, but, the mortals who heard this news all died."

"Died!?" Cheng Shi was stunned and exclaimed, "You did it yourself?"

"Of course not, it's just because the previous trial was too difficult. Except for that 【Time】 follower, they didn't persist to the end."

Wait, that's not right!

The God of Joy's tone, how does it sound like......

Cheng Shi's expression suddenly became wonderful. He blinked and looked at 【Deception】, asking tentatively: "Could it be 'coincidentally'...... your trial?"

Those eyes turned around and didn't speak, but He laughed extremely brightly.

Now Cheng Shi understood.

*Good, you are really watertight. But if you keep protecting like this, the Fire-Spreaders might really be able to pass the fire down. *

*It's just that I don't know if what they are spreading in the end is the fire of beauty, or...... the fire of 【Deception】. *

It seems his worry was indeed unnecessary. This news must be synchronized to Qin Xin and the others as soon as possible. Hmm, I will call the blind man after I go back.

Cheng Shi made many decisions quickly. He looked up and wanted to ask about other things, but saw that the eyes, which had been laughing non-stop since just now, were no longer looking at him, but staring at a direction deep in the void without moving.

Cheng Shi looked in the direction of the God of Joy's gaze and asked suspiciously: "Benefactor, what happened?"

"A good play is about to be staged." 【Deception】 was overjoyed.

"A good play? What good play?" Cheng Shi looked again, but couldn't see anything.

"Do you want to know?"

"!" Hearing this, Cheng Shi immediately became alert, "No, I don't want to."

"Hmm, you want to." Those eyes laughed. He blinked lightly, and a wild wind instantly rolled up in the void, blowing the Clown in front of him away.

Cheng Shi was numb. He didn't know what kind of play he would face next, but he knew that he probably only needed to play the Clown well.

After all, in a good play, the Clown is never absent.

【Volume 2: Walker of 【Nothingness】, End.】

During the New Year, the most important thing is to be happy. Ending it in one go on the last day of the lunar year, and then starting a new chapter on the first day of the New Year is also quite good.

First, declare that today's main text is 10,000+ words, five chapters full, and the following are attached.

But I am still very emotional. The last time I posted 10,000 words of main text was when Cheng Shi dreamed of Old Jia, Joy~

Also, a reminder that the volume division does not affect reading, and the plot is continuous.

The second volume was written much more difficultly than the first. First, after the worldview unfolded, many details could no longer be skipped, and needed to be explained clearly. Second, the trial at this time was no longer a simple trial. Numerous pieces of information intersected and collided, filling in the pits for the previous chapters and foreshadowing the subsequent content. There were many things to take into account, so it was written longer and longer.

I also noticed that the overly long length made many friends feel tired of reading. In the next volume, I will carefully consider learning while changing, and try to control a large paragraph of complete plot within a suitable length.

Of course, some seemingly unnecessary dialogues and plots might feel boring when read for the first time, but they will become very interesting when looking back after more secrets are revealed.

Riddles are not just for the sake of riddles; it's just that the time for the answer to be revealed hasn't come yet. I hope everyone will be a little more patient, and I will try my best to make the foreshadowing of the riddles interesting.

And there is the question of classmate x10 always using the Warrior Mask to become today's warrior...... This problem is mainly due to the lack of combat power, but now that he has merged with 【Time】, the possibilities have increased, so maybe it will improve?

Hmm, probably.

In general, the second volume has completed its mission. The Walker of 【Nothingness】 has stepped out of 【Nothingness】 and witnessed more things, and the third volume......

The volume name is "Mask is not a Mask."

As for why this name was taken, many friends should have guessed it. In this volume, while taking into account the score, Cheng Shi will struggle for something he has always wanted to understand but has always been deceived about.

That deceptive mouth, that tongue that eats lies, those ears that peek at secrets, and other parts that the Clown has not yet known—where do they come from and what secrets are hidden? Perhaps there will be answers in the third volume.

If not, cough, cough, treat it as if I didn't say it.

Finally, I wish all friends a Happy New Year and always be happy!

Thank you all for your company this year, see you next year (tomorrow)! ===== CHAPTER 744 =====
