Chapter 850: Uncertainty Between Reality and Illusion is the True Deception

Uncertainty Between Reality and Illusion is the True Deception

Just like that, under Cheng Shi's urging, Zhang Jizu added a small magic array to the restriction of this door, adding a meaningless audience seat.

Afterward, Cheng Shi took him and mingled into the crowd in the market.

Squinting Mr. Zhang was undoubtedly shrewd. Before the other three arrived, he also saw that the young man under the stairs had a problem. But what puzzled him was that Cheng Shi didn't seem to have any intention of kidnapping him; the Clown was actually waiting for the other three "Clowns" to step on the mine for him.

"Aren't you afraid they will intercept the key person, turn around and use this to find your trail, or directly take away what you want?

Cheng Shi, although I found the right person, the other Cheng Shi is equally impeccable.

Most importantly, the Zhen-surnamed vest you put on yourself is too perfect. Except for that real Zhen-surnamed player, the other three don't seem to see through her flaws. Aren't you afraid they will help the other you find the Ear of Secret-Peering?"

"I have some guesses about the reason why the Dragon King came here. He might want to take the Ear of Secret-Peering one step ahead as a ticket to join the Clowns.

As for Long Jing, heh, let him jump around as he likes; he's not worth worrying about. After all, acrobats just like to jump around.

It's Zhen Xin... I guess she must be Zhen Xin, because if it were Zhen Yi, I wouldn't be the only one ahead of you.

It's just that I'm very curious about her state. She seems to strictly abide by the 'acting guidelines,' completely different from her sister who causes trouble everywhere.

However, the one surnamed Zhen is still too over-the-top. Clearly, it's just two personalities, yet she can possess two sets of talents. Isn't this blatant cheating?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes and gave him a disdainful look that said, "Listen to what you are saying, aren't you a dual personality?"

"Not bad, this kind of person can indeed be counted as cheating. It's a pity, 【Order】 ultimately didn't punish the cheater."

"?"

Squinting Mr. Zhang, are you pointing at her or at me?

Cheng Shi glanced at Zhang Jizu with a strange expression, always feeling that the other party had something in his words.

Zhang Jizu smiled, skipped this topic, and asked again: "I thought you would go and play that NPC? Just like you played Prot."

Cheng Shi curled his lips and said: "Empty is real, real is empty. If I don't give them a real NPC, how would they believe that the protagonist of this play has no problem?

Don't be impatient. Changing into a living person on a stage that no one is watching won't get any applause.

Only by deceiving them in front of the audience will you win real cheers."

Cheng Shi naturally had confidence. After all, the Ear of Secret-Peering was already in hand. He came here just to explore the secrets hidden in Sandres related to Brother Mouth and the others.

But squinting Mr. Zhang didn't know these things. He only thought that in the past three hours, Cheng Shi had already laid a net here, just waiting for the other three Clowns to walk into the trap.

However, speaking of Prot, although the identities of the two were now clear, Cheng Shi was still quite curious about when squinting Mr. Zhang confirmed that the person who slipped away was himself.

Was it before or after he reminded him?

So he asked this question. Zhang Jizu squinted his eyes, glanced at Cheng Shi, and said:

"Before Prot appeared, I could only confirm that the Cheng Shi in front of me was definitely not you, but I wasn't sure where you were... but after Prot appeared, I knew he was probably you."

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched: "So that's why you held a dagger to me, giving yourself a chance to confirm with me?"

"No, I just felt that leaving without saying hello was a bit inefficient, so I wanted to give you a knife. It was you who couldn't hold back your temper and insisted on pressing your fingertips against my arm at that time to tell me that you were the real Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi, I know Morse code; I know you were tapping swear words.

But I have to warn you, at that time, the fake Cheng Shi was staring at your every move. This behavior of yours is not steady."

Cheng Shi's face turned black when he heard this, and he said sarcastically:

"I'm not steady?

If I didn't speak again, I'm afraid you would have killed me.

Who knows if your current confidence is hiding the embarrassment of not seeing through me before?"

Zhang Jizu glanced at him again, that mocking look as if he were watching a jumping baboon.

"Finding the real you might be a bit difficult, but distinguishing the truth from the fake of another Cheng Shi is not difficult at all.

You have never called that lord by his honorable name, so when he said the two words '【Death】,' he was definitely not you.

And his loopholes are not just in one place.

Although his acting can be called excellent, and he even figured out the talents of your 【Fate】 personality thoroughly, it's a pity that he is just an actor, not a director. He can only demand himself according to high standards, but he cannot control all the extras acting with him.

On the way here, we encountered a scavenger scout who, in his panic, actually bumped into 'you.'

Afterward, I checked the scavenger's body; he was old and weak, so I concluded that what I saw at the time was an illusion.

Being bumped into was just the fake Cheng Shi's last effort to prevent himself from 'clipping through the model.'

He didn't use dice to switch himself over, but jumped down after covering his figure with an illusion. It was just that he hadn't had time to walk to the 'stage' at the time, so he revealed a little flaw when dealing with the accident.

It was also at that time that I guessed that Cheng Shi was played by the Zhen sisters."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, acknowledging the observation ability of this detail-freak Zhang Steady, but then he looked at the other party with suspicion and smacked his lips:

"The brain is quite sharp, but squinting Mr. Zhang, you wouldn't really have secretly merged 【Truth】 behind my back, would you?"

Zhang Jizu's face turned black: "I have already merged 【Deception】; how can I merge 【Truth】 at this time?"

Who said merged...

Cheng Shi blinked, instantly said "Oh," closed his mouth, and interrupted this topic.

But it was this short "Oh" word that made Zhang Jizu squint his eyes, and a big question mark rose in his heart.

Could it be that in this game... the third faith has already begun?

Cheng Shi didn't speak again, and Zhang Jizu also fell silent. They played the NPCs of Sandres, following behind the other "selves" when they arrived, witnessing the past of Sandres scene by scene.

Until seeing Clown crying helplessly on the simple stage in the market, Cheng Shi's face sank slightly: "The opportunity is coming."

He connected all the clues from the past and present and finally guessed how the countless torn corpses in the theater came to be.

Sure enough, not long after, the residents of Sandres rushed into the Joyful Theater belonging to Clown to denounce the Clown, and the person who rushed to the front and kicked open the theater door was none other than Cheng Shi himself!

He was the first to rush into the theater, and squinting Mr. Zhang followed behind him, causing some chaos at the door so that Cheng Shi could quickly find the target.

And when Cheng Shi found Clown on the stage, these two liars blatantly performed a play of changing a living person in front of countless angry Sandres residents, in the short time difference before the three teammates could follow in.

Cheng Shi played himself and turned into the Clown on the stage, while the real Clown was taken away by squinting Mr. Zhang. The rhythm of this play was just like when Cheng Shi entrusted Turatin to squinting Mr. Zhang in Dor-Gode. After a series of operations, he once again made this 【Death】 chosen one the key winning move of this trial.

And the reason for kidnapping Clown was naturally because they were also guessing that Clown was the predecessor of Foolish Play. Of course, this was Cheng Shi's statement to squinting Mr. Zhang. For himself, he was more inclined to believe that this was the "original body" of Brother Mouth and the others.

In the time of witnessing Clown's past, Cheng Shi had asked Brother Mouth about Clown's true identity more than once, but Brother Mouth had never responded.

Not only it, even the tongue and the ear never said another word.

This made Cheng Shi even more convinced of his guess. Thus, he wanted to do something crazy before this final curtain call.

To be honest, he thought of the same thing as the other "self."

The Cheng Shi played by Zhen Xin wanted to resurrect Clown and use this to test if there was a possibility of getting all the mask fragments without pain, and the current Cheng Shi thought the same.

He was thinking if Brother Mouth and the others were born from the split of Clown, then preserving Clown in the past reappearance, would it complete the assembly work of all fragments at once!?

The more Cheng Shi thought about it, the more he felt it was right, so he pulled squinting Mr. Zhang to set up such a trap of stealing the sky and changing the sun, letting squinting Mr. Zhang take away the real Clown, while he himself died in the anger of the past of Sandres instead of that equally pitiful Clown.

He didn't even let squinting Mr. Zhang leave him a resurrection backup, because this extremely smart Clown had already calculated that someone would definitely resurrect him.

And this person was Zhen Xin, who played himself and refused to leave the play!

So in the end, the ending of this performance was actually woven by countless other liars under the guidance of a Clown.

Cheng Shi just stood in a higher place and pointed out a direction for these liars, and then waited quietly for the arrival of the final scene.

Now, the final scene has arrived. The "Cheng Shi" who had been deceived all the way resurrected the real Cheng Shi with his own hands at the last moment.

What ending could be more suitable for this absurd drama than this?

And when facing Zhen Xin, the doubt Cheng Shi had been curious about all the way was finally answered. It turned out that the other party was not strictly abiding by any acting guidelines; she just deceived even herself.

"Have you always been like this?" The Clown's expression was strange.

"What?"

"I said, have you always deceived yourself like this?" ===== CHAPTER 851 =====
