Chapter 844
Miracle
What Watching Ai Si grabbed was a left ear, Zhang Jizu held a right ear in his hand, and what Cheng Shi held... was the clown's unrecognizable head.
When Watching Ai Si and Zhang Jizu saw the clown's head in Cheng Shi's hand, their eyes widened and narrowed, pupils shrinking, suddenly realizing.
"As expected of you, Cheng Shi.
When we wanted to take the ears, you chose to take it all."
Zhang Jizu shook his head and laughed, seemingly guessing Cheng Shi's idea; he looked at the shriveled ear in his hand, suddenly raised his hand, and threw it to Cheng Shi.
"Interesting, I'm suddenly curious too.
If we really 'assemble' Kraun here, or even resurrect him, will we witness His birth or... their reunion?
This is too interesting, it will definitely be a very exciting memory.
Come on, do it, let's wait and see."
Hearing this speech that didn't even bother to act, Watching Ai Si's eye corner twitched, looking at Zhang Jizu—no, it should be Long Wang—with a conflicted gaze.
At the current stage, everyone's identities were basically on the table.
Long Jing didn't look like a traveler who was 【Deception】 in name but 【Memory】 in reality, as long as he collected enough memories, he wouldn't lose at all.
He was a pure 【Deception】 believer, coming here just to find the ears needed by Lord Envoy Yu Xi and offer them to Lord Envoy Yu Xi.
And now, he clearly already had a clue about one ear; if he were to hand it over at this time, to exchange for an unknown... most importantly, an ending led by Cheng Shi...
Then wouldn't all those words about honing Cheng Shi that he had entrusted to the real Watching Ai Si in the Land of Piety become a joke?
I risked my life to play Lord Envoy Yu Xi to fool my teammates to increase my winning odds, only to end up sticking an ear to Cheng Shi's achievements, letting him shine...
Then what exactly am I busy with?
And who exactly is fooling whom in this trial?
And where did that real Watching Ai Si run off to?
Does she also have a Master of Deception?
Everything was discussed well outside about giving Cheng Shi some difficulty, but after entering, she disappeared...
Where did the little skull and that unlucky thing go too?
Long Jing's brain was a mess; the more he thought, the less he could hold his breath, and Long Wang's words indeed made some sense...
However, looking at the current situation, even if it didn't make sense, Cheng Shi and Long Wang seemed to want to make this matter make sense; their gazes looking at him had already begun to be unkind.
But Long Jing didn't want to have a conflict with the two of them, because he also wanted to witness the "rebirth" of Lord Envoy Yu Xi again; even if this was just a thought, what if Lord Envoy Yu Xi really appeared and then rewarded merit?
He could at least be considered to have contributed an ear, right?
So, under this extreme internal friction and hesitation, Long Jing sighed, still deciding to get involved in this great project of resurrecting Kraun.
He darkened his face, threw the ear to Cheng Shi, and said solemnly:
"Don't let Lord Envoy Yu Xi down, Cheng Shi, you must be worthy of His guidance to you."
"..."
Cheng Shi glanced at Long Jing with a strange expression, always feeling that this acrobat had the talent to play a resentful woman; where exactly did this thick sourness in his words come from?
"What are you still waiting for, start, I also want to know if I have the honor to witness a miracle, a miracle belonging to... Lord Envoy Yu Xi."
Saying this, Long Jing began to pick up Kraun's fragments on the ground, Li Jingming also joined this project with a smile, and so did Cheng Shi.
The three cunning "liars" had aimed at these fragments from the beginning, so they didn't miss a single one during the collection process, and soon, countless corpse fragments were reassembled into an abstract human shape and placed on the stage.
"Cheng Shi, it's time to show your power as a Weaver of Fate; oh, I almost forgot, it should be the clown's power, right?"
Long Jing's words were mocking; while saying this, he didn't forget to steal a glance at Long Wang beside him, and when he saw Long Wang's lack of surprise at Cheng Shi's 【Deception】 faith, his eye corner twitched fiercely again.
Only he didn't know...
Cheng Shi's fusion was probably known to everyone; only he... even found out from a 2400-point priest; is this reasonable?
How many clowns are on this stage?
Long Jing's expression was somewhat gnashing his teeth, but Cheng Shi didn't pay attention to these; he was thinking about whether he could save this pile of corpse fragments.
Li Jingming saw Cheng Shi's hesitation, maintained his role-playing inertia, narrowed his eyes, and sized him up suspiciously:
"Although I don't know where the real Zhang Jizu went, nor do I know where Zhen Yi went, I feel you don't look like them, and it's even less likely you are that silly Inspector, so Cheng Shi, what are you waiting for?
You wouldn't be waiting for me to contribute my resurrection prop, would you?"
Speaking of this, Li Jingming's face twitched in response, "Yes, I admit I have the intention to compete with you, wanting to take the Ear of Secret-Peering from in front of you as..."
Halfway through, he stopped talking, glanced at the curious Long Jing, and closed his mouth with a smile.
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows to look at Long Wang, then looked at Long Jing, always maintaining 【Silence】; at this most critical moment, he wouldn't allow himself to make a single mistake.
So, the time for the clown to show his skills finally arrived; this time he didn't shirk, instead directly extending a hand with a ring, gripping lightly toward the corpse at his feet, and then a rich healing holy light poured onto his feet.
That power full of vitality made countless corpse fragments "sprout" again, flesh buds surging and intertwining, slowly piecing the entire corpse together, but it was limited to taking shape...
Because no matter how strong the power of resuscitation was, it seemed unable to wake up this dead clown.
When seeing this scene, Cheng Shi's eyebrows were tightly locked together, the other two also had solemn eyes; this meant their choice was wrong; the Ear of Secret-Peering might not be a gift after Kraun's resurrection, but highly likely hidden in this theater they had never explored.
"It seems..."
Before Long Jing finished speaking, a crisp sound suddenly came from outside the audience seats; the three were startled and looked up, seeing two figures touch and separate, and then rush toward a side door of the theater simultaneously, looking like some incredible secret was hidden behind that door.
The leading figure still had the energy to greet the stage, leaving behind a "Hee~" with a giggle.
This "Hee" made the three people on the stage tremble simultaneously.
It's Zhen Yi!
She really came!
Just like her previous recklessness, she didn't seem to care about exposing her location at all.
But everyone on the stage, except for pupils shrinking and faces turning gloomy, had no reaction to her greeting.
After all, there were no fools present; tricks like luring the tiger away from the mountain were basically useless for this group of peak liars.
But coincidentally, she wasn't alone; there was another person chasing her toward that door, and the one following her was...
The 【Death】 Shenxuan Zhang Jizu!
Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes tightly and chased after Zhen Yi desperately; seeing Zhen Yi was about to rush into the side door, he really had no other way, so he had to shout toward the stage:
"Cheng Shi, the thing is behind the door, help!"
It was this sentence that made Cheng Shi's eyes flash with light, instantly disappearing from the stage, and diving into the side door with Zhen Yi and squinty old Zhang.
Seeing the situation turn out like this, Long Jing gritted his teeth and chased after them without a word; Li Jingming frowned, looked at the corpse on the ground, listened to the movements around, and after confirming there were no orioles around, slightly covered Kraun's formed corpse with other corpse fragments, and then followed with a solemn face.
Now, Zhen Yi seemed to be the leading one again.
But just when everyone had chased out and the theater fell into silence, a figure with a smile on its mouth slowly condensed on the stage, and happened to be in the position where Cheng Shi had disappeared.
Cheng Shi didn't leave, or rather, he returned.
At this moment, the clown's eyes couldn't hold anything else; he always believed that Kraun at his feet was the real answer.
After all, clowns understand clowns best.
And the reason why the resurrection just now failed wasn't because Kraun couldn't be resurrected, but because the clown who released the skill did it on purpose.
No one knew how many secrets Envoy Yu Xi had; Cheng Shi only knew that secrets are called secrets because very few people know them.
So he could enjoy these secrets alone now.
So Cheng Shi curled his lips slightly, extended his hand again, and smiled, continuing the unfinished resurrection ceremony just now.
Facts proved his methods were very useful; Kraun's corpse became plump under the bathing of holy light; he began to recover his blood color, overflowing with vitality, until finally opening his eyes slowly.
And the moment the clown at his feet opened his eyes, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand that was releasing the healing spell above his head.
The gazes of the two clowns collided; the standing clown raised his eyebrows in astonishment, while the lying clown's smile was incomparably brilliant.
He chuckled:
"Caught you...
Zhen, Xin!"
