Chapter 829

My ear fell here

"Envoy Envoy Yu Xi? You are...!?"

Ai Si widened her eyes abruptly. Cheng Shi chuckled and nodded:

"It is just as you think.

Let me introduce myself: I am the Messenger of 【Deception】, the subordinate god of 【Void】 walking in the present world. You can see me here because my ear fell here. This time, I am here to find it."

Cheng Shi spoke lightly, but Ai Si listened with trepidation.

The one surnamed Cheng actually said he was a Messenger?

No, no, no—whether he is the one surnamed Cheng is one thing, but this Messenger business... does 【Deception】 have a Messenger?

How come I've never heard of it?

Ai Si frowned. A 2400-point supervisor wasn't a novice who knew nothing. Since the game descended, she had never heard of a subordinate god in 【Void】.

And considering the fact that the other party, regardless of their specific identity, was at least a 【Deception】 believer, she cautiously chose to remain on the sidelines.

But it must be said that the appearance of a "Him" was too attractive to players at this segment. Peak players had no chance to see a god, and those below the peak at 2400 had even less hope, so Messengers became the only extravagant hope for some players to get close to the gods.

Whether it was the Descent Sect or the Shenming Society, there were many players in the mid-to-high segments who were very pragmatic. They knew that seeing a god was hopeless, so they constantly participated in trials to find the Messengers of true gods, hoping to receive recognition from "Them" through the Messengers.

Although Ai Si was not one of them, if she could really establish a relationship with a Messenger in this round, she would naturally be extremely willing.

Even if the other party was a Messenger of 【Deception】, a god who was better at lying than the one surnamed Cheng, and she had a high probability of being deceived until she couldn't find north, so what? Sometimes, being deceived was much more hopeful than waiting for death on the spot.

So after a few seconds of silence, Ai Si pursed her lips, her cautious attitude showing a slight loosening. After hesitating several times, she finally made up her mind and took the initiative to ask a question.

She knew that this kind of probing was a signal that she had taken the bait, which would make her fall into the other party's rhythm, but if she didn't grasp this kind of opportunity, she would truly gain nothing in this trial.

Could you still attempt to snatch that sole treasure from the hands of three Cheng Shis?

Impossible, simply impossible.

So, she took the bait voluntarily, even if there was poison in the bait.

"You... what is your relationship with the one surnamed Cheng..."

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi chuckled and looked casually at the direction where the two figures disappeared into the mist:

"Cheng Shi, hmm, he is a player with a very interesting 【Fate】. I often play interesting people just to observe them up close.

And this Fate Weaver is even more interesting than I imagined."

"Fate Weaver?" Ai Si was stunned. "Isn't he a clown?"

?

"... That's why I said he is very interesting."

A flash of shock that no one noticed crossed the eyes of Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, and then he seemed to instantly understand something. He covered the strange look in his eyes and continued to smile lightly, "I once guided him toward the path of 【Deception】. Now it seems this path is more suitable for him than 【Fate】."

"???" Ai Si was even more confused. "Do you mean that at the end of the third month of the 【Faith Game】's descent, the one surnamed Cheng had already integrated 【Deception】 and obtained his second faith?"

"!!????"

The end of the third month?

So early!?

Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's expression stalled. The fist behind his back suddenly clenched until it turned white, and a trace of incomparable envy flashed in his eyes. However, he covered all this up very well and didn't reveal any flaws.

But after this, he refused to say anything more about it.

Looking at the Messenger in front of her smiling mysteriously, Ai Si suddenly felt that the other party seemed a bit like a real Messenger. After all, this attitude of playing in the human world was something no one she had encountered could imitate.

And at this time, the 30 seconds of stalling had long passed. If the person in front of her was really a player, wouldn't he want to catch up to Cheng Shi and the others to find the treasure in the Theater of Faith?

Or would wasting time acting cool in front of her yield other benefits she couldn't imagine?

No, there shouldn't be such fools among peak players; they knew very well what they needed.

So everything in front of her seemed to be telling Ai Si that Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was already confident about getting back his ear, and the so-called performance he spoke of was just watching those players scramble for that pair of ears that belonged to Him!

Thinking of this, Ai Si suddenly realized:

"My lord, they are looking for this ear... could it be that they are all doing it to get close to you?"

The supervisor had instinctively changed her form of address. Hearing this "my lord," the smile on Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's face became even brighter.

And when she saw the increasingly meaningful smile on Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's face, Ai Si understood.

No wonder, no wonder this lord was always lagging behind but never anxious. When others were sprinting to find the answer, he was strolling leisurely in the back.

Because that ear would be His sooner or later; He was just observing these players. No, it was very likely that among these players, besides the one surnamed Cheng, others had also caught the other party's eye.

So, who would this person be?

But no matter who it was, for her current self, it was indeed an excellent opportunity. Since everyone was looking for the ear to get close to Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, hadn't she already gotten close to this lord now?

She didn't even put in any effort; she just gained the opportunity to approach a Messenger because she was played by a teammate. So who said that fortune and misfortune don't depend on each other?

Ai Si's expression became excited, but she also knew she wasn't qualified to ask for anything in front of a Messenger, so she, who knew how to keep a sense of proportion, began to anchor her target and plan slowly.

And this first step was... to express loyalty.

"Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi... what can I do for you?"

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi turned around, scrutinized the supervisor in front of him with a look of inspection mixed with playfulness, observed for a moment, and said happily:

"What I need is an audience member who can watch the play with me and share the fun, not a servant who runs errands for me.

I don't lack servants, only fun."

These words undoubtedly closed a door on Ai Si. Her expression stalled, and a flash of gloom crossed her eyes.

But soon, Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi offered his sweet treat.

"If you are not used to sitting in the audience, then... go on stage.

Join this performance, compete on the same stage with these interesting players, and scramble for the opportunity to be illuminated by the spotlight."

Hearing this, Ai Si secretly said "as expected." This Messenger was probably really observing the players He was interested in, but she didn't know who else He was observing besides Cheng Shi?

Ai Si hesitated for a moment but still asked this question. She knew that once she participated, her stance would definitely lean toward Cheng Shi, who had saved her, but she didn't want to affect the other player Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was observing too much, so she had to confirm first.

Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi glanced at the Land of Piety and said meaningfully:

"It seems you are also a cautious person. Yes, in this era, who isn't cautious?

Speaking of which, he is very similar to you—both are little clever ghosts looking for opportunities to get close to me.

His name is Long Jing; you probably recognize him, and he is the one who stole your original position beside the clown.

I am becoming more and more interested in this acrobat. Hmm, if a clown's path is too smooth, they will lack tempering. Since that's the case...

How about this: you go help that Long Jing, and just say it's me wanting to increase the difficulty for the clown.

If you can retrieve my ear in this trial, I will consider what you have in mind.

Of course, the premise is that you have the heart to embrace 【Void】."

"!!!"

Have the heart! Of course, I have the heart!

Where would players at this segment have the right to choose? When she saw the opportunity for faith integration right in front of her, Ai Si's breathing stalled, her eyes full of excitement.

"I will definitely not fail your expectations, my lord."

Saying this, she lowered her head, a flash of apology in her eyes.

Sorry, the one surnamed Cheng. Once I achieve my wish, I will definitely compensate you.

Besides, this is a test for you from a subordinate god. He doesn't test others but only cares about you—it can only mean that you are indeed the darling of 【Deception】.
