Chapter 841

Faith Is Never Too Late

When the divine name of 【Deception】 resounded through the entire theater, everyone's eyes looking at the stage were full of shock and expectation, even Ai Si and Cheng Shi's eyes raised a hint of interest that "things are finally getting interesting."

Only Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes slightly, only feeling that everything right now was strange enough, because his memory told him that during the period when the great scholar Glo's experiment failed, the scholars of the Tower of Rationality only discovered the existence of 【Deception】, but did not know His divine name.

So, this Kraun seems to have some problems!

But the biggest problem in the field was clearly not Kraun, but the thing hidden behind the curtain after Kraun pulled it open!

Just when the residents of Sandlais thought a true god was hidden behind the curtain, and just when the three players thought there might be a mask behind the curtain...

The most jaw-dropping thing happened; with the red curtain pulled open, a second Kraun appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Whoosh—"

The field below exploded.

"Magic, or trickery? At this time, is the ignorant clown still performing his show?"

"Why is there another Kraun? Who is he, is he Kraun's twin brother?"

"Is this deception? So what is deception, a sleight of hand? What is the use of this for solving the severe cold?"

"I seem to understand, is it that as long as we deceive ourselves, we can pretend the severe cold doesn't exist?"

"?"

Broken, there really is someone with high comprehension.

The three players wanted to laugh when they heard this, but they couldn't laugh at all right now, because they felt the eerie fluctuation behind the red curtain when it was pulled open, which was exactly the same as the eerie fluctuation when the ghost appeared in the fog outside the theater earlier!

So, this second Kraun in front of them seemed to be the ghost that patrolled the Land of Piety and constantly harvested the secrets of intruders!

But it was far less flexible than it was in the fog; it was like a real puppet, mechanically and stiffly turning its head, blankly sizing up everyone below the stage, and then its gaze gradually moved with Kraun, moving slowly.

"This..."

The three weren't stupid; soon a bold idea rose in their hearts simultaneously.

Cheng Shi's eyes condensed, and he said softly: "God of... no faith?"

Correct, the other two also thought of it; it could only be that god of no faith who was accidentally created by the Tower of Rationality in a place like Sandlais.

After unveiling another self, Kraun's spirit clearly recovered a bit; he walked to the other self, walking around it in circles.

"Friends, I indeed suffered a blow; the truth I revealed was treated as a play by my compatriots; this powerlessness almost suffocated me; I was afraid my revelation would break the tranquility of Sandlais, and even more afraid that my compatriots would suffer deception endlessly.

I was once confused, and also terrified day after day, but until I found him in the theater, no, it was Him..."

Kraun's face was flushed, looking like a flash of brilliance before death.

He pulled the hand of the other self, as if introducing a new member of the theater, introducing it to the crowd below with pride:

"The moment I saw another self, I was certain He had already cast His gaze on me.

But this impact was too great, my friends; I, like you, had never had any faith; but when I learned that my behavior fit a certain faith, I was very excited, because I thought I had found a lifeline.

However, when the true power of a god was displayed before my eyes, I felt extreme fear from the bottom of my heart.

That is a god... the god who caused the doomsday!

Although doomsday never existed, the fear of doomsday had long been deeply planted in my flesh and soul.

I didn't know how to contact Him, didn't know how to please Him, didn't know how to believe in Him, and even less how not to offend Him...

So I hid, I confined myself in the theater; before I found a way to save Sandlais, I didn't dare to go on stage again to be a clown who only told funny stories.

To be honest, until now, until you all rushed in, I still haven't figured it out.

But I think there's no need to think anymore; individual wisdom is never as good as collective wisdom, right?

Everyone, my friends, the salvation of Sandlais might be right in front of us; I don't know how many other existences there are outside this world, but I know that the only one who can cast a gaze at this moment is Him!

This other me must be His guidance to us, so everyone, what you need to do is ignore me instead of denouncing me, is to believe in Him instead of fearing Him.

Although His guidance... this new Kraun, his actions are still slow, his reactions are also sluggish, although I also don't know how to make Him flexible, but I think these things must be related to faith.

He perhaps lacks enough faith, uh, let me use more direct words: in a world full of faith, He might think the current Sandlais is not yet worth protecting.

Do you think... I'm right?"

Everyone below the stage was silent; this line of reasoning was no different from heresy for the faithless Sandlais, but the problem was that Kraun said it so firmly, confidently, and sonorously; this attitude made many people almost believe it.

If it weren't true, then what was this clown performing?

Just to tease the crowd in the doomsday of Sandlais to repay the cold eyes he had suffered all these years?

No, it was completely meaningless; if the severe cold continued, he would die too!

If he hadn't witnessed the truth and found a lifeline, how could he say such things?

Even if the name of this god sounded... so bizarre, Sandlais seemed to have no choice.

So after a long silence, that administrator who spoke earlier asked with a bit of trembling:

"Kraun... can you tell us how you discovered the observers underneath?"

Kraun nodded; he didn't hide it, and even became a bit excited because his compatriots began to believe, telling everything he had experienced again.

The administrator who understood everything didn't tie the future of Sandlais to his own judgment, but sent people to that shaft in the alley to see if there were any so-called observers underneath.

But just this step was difficult enough, because no one was willing to face their own fear, and even less willing to face the true unknown.

In the end, it was the administrator and Kraun who led the way, bringing some bold residents into that shaft.

They only wanted to take a look from afar, even one look was enough, but when Sandlais was abandoned, the other end of the shaft was sealed off.

But this was enough, because the people who saw the stone wall sealed behind with their own eyes weren't stupid; they saw that there was originally a path here.

Actually, this was good; for Sandlais, this both avoided the embarrassment of facing fear and confirmed the facts the clown had said.

But this was also bad, because the moment people saw the truth, the real Sandlais disappeared.

Everything was just an experiment, and now this "resultless" experiment had been abandoned by that mysterious research organization.

Sandlais welcomed the real doomsday; fortunately, they also welcomed the real hero.

Kraun, this clown who worked hard to bring joy to the town, finally brought real joy to Sandlais before the doomsday.

"Kraun, we only started following Him in times of danger, is it useful?" the residents asked uneasily.

The clown who stood on the theater stage again wasn't sure, but he still smiled brilliantly.

"Of course it's useful, because faith is never too late."
