~8 min read 1,427 words

Fate Weaver, let's make a deal

Listening to Cheng Shi's such arrogant response, Wang Mou, who was covered in blood beside him, also reacted.

Zaiyingji'er is really here!

He actually appeared in reality, far away from the Continent of Hope, far away from the Star Dagger, far away from the Scholarly Chair Committee!

How did he do it!?

Not to mention how he did it, so this great leader of the Creation Alchemy Department is looking for his finger?

How did he know his finger would appear in this testing ground?

Was it calculated long ago, or was it a spur-of-the-moment idea?

Looking at the current situation, 0221 is clearly afraid. He doesn't dare to attack Cheng Shi, seemingly because he is afraid that Cheng Shi has done something to this finger. He is afraid that if he kills Cheng Shi, he will never find that finger again!

So this finger must be incomparably important to 0221, and the Fate Weaver saw this point earlier than himself, and used this finger as a bargaining chip to save the lives of the two of them!

What a sharp Fate Weaver!

Wang Mou looked at Cheng Shi in surprise, feeling that he had underestimated this Fate Weaver who was usually laughing and joking.

But did Cheng Shi really calculate to this extent?

Not at all!

Cheng Shi said just now that he had quick wit, but in terms of wisdom, he admitted he couldn't compare to 0221.

So no matter how steady or careful he was, he couldn't guess 0221's mind and thoughts. Although he knew that the Zaiyingji'er finger in his hand would be involved with the experiment, in a state of knowing nothing, he simply didn't know how to leave a backup on this finger.

Until just now, until he felt the other party's desire for the finger in his hand, and from that moment on, the Clown's quick wit began to exert its power.

He had a sudden whim to test 0221's attack. He was testing how great the other party's desire for this finger was, and whether it was so great that they didn't dare to bet that Cheng Shi had left a trace of accident.

Of course, Cheng Shi would never do things that put him in a desperate situation, so he had prepared to snap his fingers in his hand at any time just now.

As long as the tentacles didn't retreat, the one who would retreat would definitely be Cheng Shi. Even if he were stabbed in an eyeball, he could use the power of 【Fate】 and 【Time】 to withdraw from this space surrounded by tentacles and then slowly heal himself.

So he wasn't not wanting his life, but had long since left his own retreat.

On this journey with the doctor, he had been carrying a die in his pocket, and all the trajectories this die had passed through were the past of the die.

And as a dual believer of 【Fate】 and 【Time】, Cheng Shi was precisely the most skilled at returning to the past!

But fortunately, this backup wasn't used, and the result of the test satisfied Cheng Shi. 0221 was indeed afraid that something would happen to that finger, to the point that even the attack was just bluffing.

After confirming this point, Cheng Shi, who knew nothing about the experiment, suddenly reversed some situations and became the one who successfully "bluffed" in this confrontation.

"Why, don't dare to kill me?

Don't you want to try killing me to see if that finger will disappear?"

"..." The swaying tentacle group stagnated again, and then retreated like a tide.

And just when the sky full of tentacles disappeared, a figure, half bloated and half withered, appeared at the entrance of the building's passage.

0221!

This 【Truth】 God-Chosen finally showed his face. He looked down at the two people below with a playful expression and shouted in a hoarse and unpleasant voice:

"Fate Weaver, let's make a deal. I'm sure the content of the deal will satisfy you."

Then you're probably thinking too much.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes, feeling slightly conflicted in his heart.

He certainly wanted to get enough benefits from this deal, but the problem was he also guessed that 0221 was coveting the desires and emotions in this testing ground, so he was conflicted about whether to control his greed.

But after struggling for a while, he recognized himself and returned to his nature.

"Throw out the method of combining divinity first. After I verify it is correct, we'll talk about other things."

Hearing this, Wang Mou felt a bit speechless. Who starts a deal by digging at the opponent's roots?

But what he didn't expect was that 0221 actually agreed. The other party actually threw down the manuscript of divinity combination, and even had a smile on his face when sending out the manuscript.

But seeing this smile on his main body, Wang Mou felt heavy in his heart and couldn't laugh.

The other party being so "generous" only meant one thing: he wasn't afraid that he and the Fate Weaver could leave here directly after getting the manuscript. And this meant that the current situation was far worse than he imagined, and even with many God-Chosen present, 0221 had no fear at all.

What was his confidence?

It was that Zaiyingji'er who walked out of the history of the Continent of Hope. But if that great scholar was here, why hadn't he appeared yet?

Could it be that Zaiyingji'er was the real host of this experiment!?

Cheng Shi wasn't as worried as Wang Mou. He raised his eyebrows. Seeing the manuscript fall at his feet, he cautiously didn't touch it, but turned to smile at the doctor:

"Doctor, are you looking at me with new eyes today?

Are you curious why I have so much first-hand intelligence and news?

Are you wondering how Zaiyingji'er escaped history and why he came here?

Are you wanting to know what is written in this manuscript recording the method of combining divinity?

If you are curious about all these questions, why not consider joining us.

Once you become one of us, then... on the road to approaching 【Truth】, you will become more efficient."

"?"

Wang Mou was stunned. He had never thought that on such a critical occasion, in front of his own main body, he would be invited by a teammate who knew his origin to join an organization that sounded extremely mysterious.

What kind of routine is this?

He frowned, looked at 0221 above, and then looked at Cheng Shi, pondering:

"Are you sure you are inviting me to join an organization, rather than letting me help you step on mines, trigger the traps on the manuscript, and check the correctness of the manuscript for you for free?"

"???"

This time it was Cheng Shi's turn to be stunned.

No, buddy, don't always be so smart. People, it's better to be a bit stupid.

Look at Big Cat, she's quite cute.

Cheng Shi's smile froze on his face. He couldn't bring himself to say "yes," and couldn't shamelessly say "no," so he could only laugh it off:

"We are all our own people, why talk about stepping on mines or not? I would like to step on mines for you, but I can't understand it.

'The capable do more work' is somewhat close to 【Truth】 in a sense, and you are approaching 【Truth】, so the capable do more work, right?"

"..." Wang Mou was silent. He glanced at Cheng Shi with a strange expression, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Fine."

The doctor was very pragmatic. As soon as the words fell, he bowed and picked up the manuscript, starting to read it slowly. But as he read, the expression of this 【Truth】 believer became stranger and stranger, and by the time he reached the end, he actually laughed regardless of his image.

It was just that the laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if what was recorded in the manuscript was worthless.

Laughing with him was 0221 at the entrance of the passage.

"Hehehe—it seems the truth has been distinguished. Next, let's talk about the deal."

"Shut up." Cheng Shi stopped the other party's speech, frowned, and asked the doctor, "Is it true?"

Wang Mou flipped through two pages quickly, closed the manuscript, and nodded with a sigh:

"It can be considered true.

But I never thought that the means of combining divinity would be so absurd, and... simple!" ===== CHAPTER 780 =====
