The Past Reappears!

The Ear of Secret-Peering is very interesting. Although it can directly deprive invaders of their secrets through sound in the Land of Piety, in this theater, it can only puncture the other party's lies when they are lying.

This move is undoubtedly the most useful for dealing with Brother Mouth, so Brother Mouth's annoyance with the Ear might also be real. At the very least, the fact that the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi refused to say another word at the moment proved the Ear's power.

However, when both brothers present remained silent, Cheng Shi couldn't find any evidence related to the "birth of the mask" or the "birth of the facial features," even after walking through the entire theater.

Before him lay only countless torn corpses. This tragic scene indicated that a great melee had occurred here, but as for why there was a melee and what the melee led to, he knew nothing.

Thus, in order to figure out the truth behind Brother Mouth, to know what happened in Sandres, and also to look for clues about other parts, Cheng Shi frowned and took out that... 【Note of Time】 from his bosom.

Correct, it was the Note of Time that the Long Wang had once practically forced upon him—a 【Memory】 prop that could use "The Past Reappears" once.

Actually, Cheng Shi had another 【Memory】 prop in his hand, a Yihai Jianzhi that looked like a small hammer. This prop could give him some inspiration about the history of this place, but he felt that the story related to the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi would definitely not be simple, and it probably couldn't be explained in a few words.

If he didn't get the answer after using that Yihai Jianzhi, he might have to use The Past Reappears in the end. Thus, Cheng Shi decisively chose the plan that consumed the least, directly saving one small wooden hammer.

The plan was indeed good, but the effect changed when put into practice.

Cheng Shi hadn't expected that when this 【Note of Time】 gradually dissipated before him, the past did indeed reappear, but it was not the reappearance in the Clown's understanding.

The power of 【Memory】 inexplicably entangled with the power of... 【Deception】 shrouding the theater. Afterward, Cheng Shi was pushed directly out of the door by an entangled force, watching helplessly as countless streams of light flashed and changed in the gaps between the doors. Clearly, some story was being performed inside, but at this very moment, Cheng Shi had missed it.

"You..."

Cheng Shi almost cursed, but considering that his benefactor might already be watching the show, he restrained himself slightly and didn't dare to blaspheme the gods to their face.

But everything before his eyes, even if he hadn't seen it, he already had an idea about. The moment the divine power of 【Deception】 surged out, it was destined that this Sandres had long been occupied by 【Deception】!

They were indeed born here!

It's just that he didn't know how this place was born?

Cheng Shi, who had been pushed out of the door, naturally couldn't sit idly by. After being rejected, an ordinary person might first reflect on where they went wrong, but the Clown was different. He would definitely first think about whether the other party was hiding a big secret so that they didn't want him to witness all this inside the door.

And while thinking, he returned to the door, trying to push it open and return to the theater.

Unfortunately, there was indeed a restriction on the door that required two people to push it open simultaneously. But this little trick couldn't stump Cheng Shi at all. Don't forget, Cheng Shi was not a simple believer of 【Deception】; he was also a believer of 【Chaos】.

Therefore, as long as the door gap allowed smoke to permeate, then a great door was equivalent to non-existent for him.

Thus, the Clown took out a smoke bomb, exploded it in the middle of the door gap, and then "swam" in through the door gap using his talent.

And when he discovered that inside the theater it was no longer a theater but the Sandres of the past, the Clown realized that the real play had finally begun.

The God of Fun wasn't refusing his viewing, but was preparing a bigger stage!

There must be secrets about Brother Mouth and the others on this stage, and these secrets were very likely on this NPC under the theater steps who looked like a Clown.

Yes, Cheng Shi only took one look at the market and found the lead actor of this play, the actor of the Joyful Theater, Clown.

Don't ask Cheng Shi how he guessed the other party was a Clown; if you ask, it's the Clown's intuition.

Cheng Shi really wanted to understand this place deeply, to understand another Clown, but he still had a more urgent problem to face, which was that his teammates behind him were probably coming soon.

Before the secret, he wanted to enjoy it alone, but in the face of risk, he was unwilling to act as someone else's pathfinder. Thus, in order to let his teammates exert their remaining value in this trial, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and started setting up a trap again.

He wanted to slip out of the theater through the door gap again to ambush in advance, but found that he had been switched to the inside of the theater door at the other end. Here, it was as if a prison of 【Memory】 had trapped a believer of 【Deception】 who had too many whimsical ideas in his head.

But even the sturdiest prison had gaps. Cheng Shi sneered at the door he couldn't get out of, directly changed his faith, turned back into a Weaver of Fate, and then snapped his fingers, letting the dice take him back to the "past" outside the door—the "future" of this place.

Heh, since 【Memory】 and 【Deception】 joined forces to "imprison" me, then I will use 【Time】 and 【Fate】 as keys to break out of prison openly.

Cheng Shi succeeded. When he stood outside the theater door again, he raised his hands high and piously praised all the benefactors—of course, excluding that one.

And when he truly left the theater, his first thought was to find squinting Mr. Zhang!

Zhang Jizu in the same trial was undoubtedly the Clown's greatest confidence to dare to make trouble. Thus, Cheng Shi turned himself into a plant and hung upside down on the highest icicle in front of the theater door, observing everything around him, waiting for the arrival of squinting Mr. Zhang.

And when he discovered two Zhang Jizus appearing at the same time, he didn't hesitate for a second and ran directly toward the Zhang Jizu who had squatted on the ground and started studying whether the frozen soil would pose a threat.

Just kidding, steadiness is a trait written into the bones; simple caution cannot simulate the steadiness of squinting Mr. Zhang.

So Cheng Shi was very sure he had found the right person, so he quietly shed his disguise and turned into... *cough cough*, the Long Wang, and quietly touched toward squinting Mr. Zhang's direction.

But even if the process of finding someone was smooth enough, it still took some time to explain his identity when meeting Zhang Jizu.

When Zhang Jizu heard the movement behind him and saw Li Jingming approaching, he squinted his eyes and analyzed calmly:

"It's not easy for an acrobat to play Li Jingming, because his temperament will make him reveal his true colors very quickly;

If Li Jingming wants to find me, he will only appear in the appearance of Cheng Shi;

The Supervisor cherishes his life and hasn't stepped into the mist, and it's even more impossible for him to arrive here a step ahead of me;

As for the one surnamed Zhen... no matter who it is, their purpose in playing Li Jingming must not be to borrow the other party's identity, but to cause trouble for the other party. Since you didn't attack me at the start, it shows you are not like them.

So...

Cheng Shi, you arrived here three hours and twenty-seven minutes earlier than me. What did you find here?"

"..."

Do you see it? This is the time Cheng Shi wasted here.

"Master, stop chanting, let's save some time..."

Cheng Shi's eye twitched. He hoisted squinting Mr. Zhang up and ran toward the great door according to the path he had just observed that bypassed everyone, pushing open that door again with Zhang Jizu before other teammates arrived, and returned to the past of Sandres.

When Zhang Jizu saw everything before him, he squinted his eyes tightly.

"This is...?"

"The past of Sandres, interesting, right?

【Memory】 is distorted here, but 【Deception】 is real here. I'm not even sure if those two got together long before the Long Wang merged."

"?" Zhang Jizu was slightly stunned, "Li Jingming's state... is fusion?"

Cheng Shi laughed while running: "Old Zhang, my reward has already been given. Next, it's up to you."

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Jizu's heart jumped.

"Don't be nervous. That great door is strange; it requires two people to push it open. But I think two people are a bit few. You change it, change it so that it requires three people to push it open.

Since the Supervisor hasn't come in, I'd like to see how ridiculous the other three 'me's look when they have to gather together to push the door.

On this stage, there can't be only one Clown like me.

Oh, sorry, almost forgot, you are also a Clown."

"..."

At this moment, Zhang Jizu's eyelids jumped wildly, and he could finally empathize with Cheng Shi at certain moments.

You better be talking about my profession. ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
