Chapter 83: Confession Session Above the Void

~11 min read 2,074 words

Confession Session Above the Void

【Void】 has no concept of time, but once it is contaminated with 【Existence】, there will be a flow of time in the void.

In the eyes of scholars of the Void Quality and Energy School, precisely because the void has this characteristic of being able to record changes in time, humans have the possibility of studying the void.

Back to the present.

Time did flow through the void, as for how long, no one knows.

Until Cheng Shi woke up, opened his eyes and saw himself floating in the void, looking up at the dividing line that was cut in half and the blue sky that couldn't be seen to the top, he determined that he had won the bet.

Void Whispering Tide was indeed the answer to crossing the dividing line.

These darlings of 【Void】 walk between void and reality, unaffected by rifts, and the reality swallowed into the stomach will be slowly eroded and turned into a new void.

In this way, you only need to hold on to the pulling of the void in the stomach of the Void Whispering Tide, perhaps you can rely on its own characteristics to carry over the "annihilation" at the junction of void and reality!

Because pulling still has a chance to resist, while annihilation is in an instant, without any room for bargaining.

And this is the gamble Cheng Shi made.

As for the chips, naturally, it is the lives of six people.

Actually, if the seawater didn't recede so fast, perhaps Cheng Shi could have thought of the answer when he saw the dividing line.

But the arrival of this trial disaster was too sudden and too rapid, rapid to the point that people couldn't react at all.

If it weren't for another colleague, Cheng Shi really didn't know how to experience this disaster.

Speaking of colleagues, since he woke up, at least it shows that believers of 【Void】 should be fine in the void.

So Su Yi Da should also...

Just thinking of this, footsteps came from behind Cheng Shi.

Very strange, he was clearly standing in a void, with nothing to rely on under his feet, but he could hear the sound of someone walking.

Cheng Shi looked back, only to see someone hanging upside down in the sky, walking towards himself.

Yes, hanging upside down in the sky, the whole person turned 180 degrees, his head was level with Cheng Shi, but his body was above.

But his expression had no discomfort, and the shock in his eyes seemed to be saying "why are you upside down?".

This is the void.

Both exists and is void.

There is no established reality here, nor is there a recognized rule. Everything is possible, and everything is possible.

Su Yi Da walked closer with a dark face, and the first sentence he opened his mouth to say was:

"Didn't expect you to be a clown."

Cheng Shi smiled after hearing this.

This is not a scolding word, because Cheng Shi is really a clown.

Clown, priest of 【Deception】.

A priest who heals others with lies, just like a clown who wins laughter with fake smiles, the essence is the same, and the destination is the same.

Su Yi Da finally saw through Cheng Shi's identity!

But actually didn't see through it, because Cheng Shi's identity was confessed by himself to him.

The answer of Void Whispering Tide was given too early, so that when the seawater disappeared, the players no longer had the key to pass the level.

Fortunately, there is a colleague on the scene who has the ability to "create" everything.

But having the ability is useless. If Su Yi Da wants to fabricate something, he must first make the teammates believe it, and the basis of belief is conformity to reality.

No matter what suddenly appears in the empty sky, it may cause teammates' suspicion, so conventional methods can't be used at all.

But Cheng Shi is never conventional.

He grabbed Su Yi Da's foot with his hand for the first time, and then said that sentence:

"Hey, soy sauce, you wouldn't be scared to pee, there's water dripping on me!"

This sentence actually has two layers of meaning.

First, lead out the water droplets, paving the way for the scene fabrication later.

Second, tell Su Yi Da how to break the game.

At the same time Cheng Shi said these words, he released a trace of 【Deception】 power to Su Yi Da through the hand holding Su Yi Da's ankle.

And the timing of this 【Deception】 power injection was when the three words "Hey", "pee", and "out" were spoken.

Su Yi Da likes science fiction, this sentence didn't lie.

Plus the second identity he revealed later, Cheng Shi was a bit sure that this person yearned for fantasy and power that broke through reality.

So he is very likely to receive the strategy of breaking the game he conveyed.

But this is still a small gamble, Cheng Shi is betting that Su Yi Da can seize the opportunity and immediately cooperate with himself.

Obviously he

Su Yi Da had the brains for this, and the strength too.

To be honest, in that tense moment of choice, when he felt the power of 【Deception】 transmitted by Cheng Shi, he was completely stunned.

A monstrous wave surged in his heart, but on the surface, he had to immediately cooperate with Cheng Shi and make some kind of reaction.

Never did he expect that this 【Birth】 priest who was chatting with him, who had the divinity of 【Prosperity】 sealed in his body, and whose healing never made anyone pregnant, was actually a damn colleague!!!

But no matter how shocked he was, he knew that the information Cheng Shi had gone to such great lengths to transmit must be the key to breaking the situation; even if it wasn't the key, it was at least the method to find it.

At this moment, the power of 【Deception】 resonated in sync.

Su Yi Da instantly thought that the method to cross the boundary line was probably hidden in the water from before; although he hadn't thought of the Void-Whispering Tide yet, the most important thing right now was to make the vanished water return.

And Cheng Shi had already thought of this excuse for him.

"Hey—come out."

A very wild idea, but very effective.

At least at that time, this excuse was more reasonable than making something up out of thin air.

So he took the opportunity to look up and talk to Tao Yi, and then fabricated the "vanished" seawater right above everyone's heads!

The torrential water fell.

At this moment, the disaster was no longer His trial, but a lie-filled stage for two 【Deception】 believers.

Everyone finally found the way to cross the boundary line, yet because Cheng Shi had long known Su Yi Da's identity, he couldn't see any of this at all.

He could only sync with everyone through performance, and then at the final moment, use the same method to break open the giant beast's belly.

It was a pity that the perfect performance went wrong at the very last moment.

He couldn't see the giant beast, so he missed the shot.

But fortunately, the performance didn't flop; the Void-Whispering Tide still took a hit from the Thunderous Verdict.

After that, in order to hide inside the non-existent belly of the giant beast, Cheng Shi closed his eyes and ears and held Tao Yi tightly.

He couldn't see, but he could still be brought in by someone who could.

The so-called 【Mirage in the Void-Reality Interlayer】 is about turning the false into the real.

The deception of self-deception, the reality of Cheng Shi.

Su Yi Da couldn't help but admire Cheng Shi's imagination; to be able to find the answer at such a moment and come up with such an unbelievable strategy to break the situation was truly impressive.

Cheng Shi saw Su Yi Da's complex expression, and seeing him open his mouth several times without saying anything, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How is it? If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? The taste of being deceived doesn't feel good, does it?"

"You..." Su Yi Da's expression was ugly as death. "Is the 【Prosperity】 divinity in your body also fake?"

Sure enough, even at this point, he was still concerned about 【Divinity】.

Very interesting.

"It seems you really did join them," Cheng Shi laughed.

"That's not important; what's important is what's in your body..."

"Sigh, the players of the Rationality Association have already abandoned their reason in pursuit of the path to godhood. Big Jiang... ah no, Su Yi Da, wake up.

This is a warm reminder born from a tacit cooperation; whether you like it or not, I won't say it a second time."

Cheng Shi sighed, seemingly feeling regretful that this colleague, who didn't seem too bad, had fallen onto an evil path.

Yet Su Yi Da's question remained unchanged.

"In your body..."

"... It's real, the things really happened; I just lied about my identity."

Hearing this, Su Yi Da's expression finally looked a bit better.

Cheng Shi saw him let out a sigh of relief, his expression extremely strange.

I did it to hide Lele'er's aura, what did you do it for?

But then Su Yi Da said quite sincerely:

"Let me be honest with you, I did join the Rationality Association, and with their help, I obtained a scattered piece of 【Divinity】. I'm currently researching how to preserve it.

Since you have a wisp sealed in your body, it means that I can also serve as a carrier for 【Divinity】."

Although he spoke sincerely, he was still lying.

But what was the point of lying at this time?

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows with interest, signaling him to continue, but he didn't expect Su Yi Da's expression to instantly turn from gloomy to brilliant.

"So that's it, your talent is 【Master of Deception】?"

"???"

"No wonder I never doubted you from the beginning. A 【Birth】 priest can't make people pregnant—listen to how ridiculous that sounds. So that's how it is. Cheng Shi, you're very impressive.

How many points? Let's have a round of honesty this time."

Cheng Shi was even more amused; he wasn't too worried about being seen through by a colleague, because this kind of thing hadn't happened for the first time.

After all, a liar knows a liar best.

However, Cheng Shi was still a bit curious, because that sentence just now didn't seem to have anything that could cause Su Yi Da to have a cognitive contradiction, so he asked with a smile:

"How did you see it?"

Su Yi Da shrugged: "I didn't see it, I just bluffed it out of you."

"?"

"I just guessed randomly, didn't expect to get it right."

"..."

Chatting with a liar who "knows you inside and out" is just... very unpleasant.

Cheng Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly, ending the topic.

"I'll count that as you winning a round. Let me reintroduce myself: Cheng Shi, Clown, 2401."

"Heh, what a coincidence: Su Yi Da, Trickster, 2401."

Cheng Shi's expression instantly became extremely brilliant.

The person opposite was still lying, but clearly, the score was a lie.

It's just that this lying score...

Big Jiang, do you distrust me that much? I'm telling the truth here!

"Alright, let's not waste time testing each other. The trial isn't over yet, and the calm is only temporary. Let's think about how to get out of here."

Su Yi Da chuckled and turned to walk into the depths of the void.

"Are you coming or not?"

Cheng Shi looked at his unguarded back, a mischievous impulse rising; he picked his nose and flicked out a booger.

Just as the trajectory of the booger was about to hit Su Yi Da's head, Su Yi Da turned around instantly and pinched the "hidden weapon" with three fingers.

His expression was playful, as if he had long expected Cheng Shi to have a backup plan.

Cheng Shi put on an expression of "you're really awesome," and then walked away from him at a leisurely pace.

"Let's go our separate ways, increase efficiency."

After Cheng Shi left, Su Yi Da pinched open the hidden weapon in his hand and took a look.

"... Your mother..."
