Chapter 851: Lice Don't Fear Being Bitten?

Lice Don't Fear Being Bitten?

Returning to the present.

When Cheng Shi punctured Zhen Xin's acting with an extremely strange tone, "Cheng Shi" was stunned, and then his appearance gradually faded, turning into a long-haired girl wearing a purple scarf and casual suit...

Zhen Xin!

This chosen one of 【Deception】 finally appeared before Cheng Shi for the first time in her true image.

Zhen Xin's expression was calm and indifferent, with no frustration of being calculated in her eyes; she didn't seem to feel that she had failed either.

She shook her head and chuckled: "Not really, I was just pondering the trickery of a peer, and now... hmm, the harvest is not bad."

But what was unexpected was that the moment she finished speaking, Cheng Shi's mouth moved uncontrollably.

"Yes, I lied..."

???

For a time, the two people present were both frozen on the spot because of this sentence.

Brother Mouth, you...

Wait! No!

Brother Mouth isn't speaking for me; it seems to be... speaking for the Ear?

Huh?

Is this its so-called "all spoils belong to it"?

But how is the Ear in the portable space tied to Brother Mouth? Could it be that all the secrets I hear in the future will have to be conveyed by Brother Mouth?

Can that still be called a secret?

Wouldn't that become a guessing game?

But besides this...

Cheng Shi didn't pay attention to Zhen Xin's shocked and moved expression, but his brows sank, and his face gradually became ugly.

If after the tampered play ended, Brother Mouth and the others were still on him, wouldn't that mean the efforts he and squinting Mr. Zhang made secretly... were all in vain?

So nothing changed, and their reunion wasn't that easy.

Cheng Shi smacked his lips and looked gloomily toward the direction where Zhang Jizu was hiding.

He was thinking about what kind of accident could make even squinting Mr. Zhang unable to stop it?

Could the accident come from Them?

Would it be 【Deception】? Or... 【Memory】?

Zhen Xin's expression was equally strange. She tilted her head slightly and examined the Clown who had been observed countless times in her memory, curious:

"You didn't use the Tongue of Lying to verify what I said, but you firmly believed that I lied...

Hmm, it seems you have already obtained it.

The Ear of Secret-Peering is already in your hands, isn't it?

And the way you said this is very strange, very different from the usual you. This reminds me of the scene where you punctured Zhen Yi. I have been thinking about how you, who knew nothing about the peak game at the time, recognized Zhen Yi and punctured her identity. After all, you almost believed it before that.

Now I understand. Cheng Shi, perhaps you have another prop in your hand similar to the Ear of Secret-Peering that can eavesdrop on the secrets in others' hearts, right?

It helped you see through Zhen Yi's identity."

"..."

This guess made Cheng Shi's heart skip a beat. The most brilliant liar was indeed sharp, but he still shifted the topic without changing his expression: "You can continue to guess, but I'm leaving. I still have things to do; I don't have time to play guessing games with you."

Saying this, Cheng Shi patted the dust off his body and walked toward the stage.

Indeed, Cheng Shi came to puncture Zhen Xin's identity not for any special purpose; he just tasted the other party's identity and wanted to use a "victory" to break the "relationship" between the two that was not balanced before.

After all, Zhen Yi deceived Cheng Shi once. Even if it was punctured by Cheng Shi in the end, being deceived was being deceived.

Liars compete in trickery. If you are deceived, it means your skills are not as good as others. So Cheng Shi could only regain a game through this method to be able to hold his head high in front of the one surnamed Zhen in the future meeting.

What's more, he had already established some relationship with Zhen Xin through the link of the blind man, so no matter what considerations, he wouldn't tear his face with Zhen Xin because of an act, not to mention that he was the winner in this act.

Thus, Cheng Shi lifted his feet and left. Zhen Xin didn't stop him either; she just followed Cheng Shi quietly, continuing her reasoning.

"You didn't respond to me directly, which means my guess is established.

The Historical School also confirmed the existence of the Ear of Secret-Peering after collecting information for a long time. And in the case of only obtaining a tongue, I find it hard to believe that you would specifically come to look for another creation similar to it for a 【Deception】 creation that seems to exist independently. So...

The prop I mentioned just now is likely not a prop, but very likely another facial feature part equal to the tongue and ear, right?

You have already obtained three similar 【Deception】 creations?"

"..."

Cheng Shi laughed in anger. He was amazed at the other party's sharpness and lamented at the other party's noisiness.

He originally thought that this former chosen one of 【Deception】 would have a more stable temper than her unlucky sister. Looking at it now, it was stable, but in terms of being annoying, it was not inferior to Zhen Yi at all.

I originally thought squinting Mr. Zhang belonged to Tang Seng, but I didn't expect you to be the same age as him.

Cheng Shi sneered, turned his head to look at Zhen Xin behind him, and said: "Do you think you are very smart?"

"Not really," Zhen Xin shook her head and chuckled, ignoring Cheng Shi's sarcasm, "Logic and reasoning are the tools for me to understand this world, that's all."

Cheng Shi's steps paused, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to find squinting Mr. Zhang. Since the facts were set, it would be better to take the opportunity to understand this former chosen one of 【Deception】.

Zhen Xin's purpose for coming here was actually not hard to guess. She was never his "enemy," and she came here most likely because of the sentence "come for something practical" he said casually on the phone before...

So her relationship with the blind man is really good. For the sake of such a message, she was willing to risk herself to find such a precious Ear of Secret-Peering as a reward.

Although the weight of this "gratitude" represented thanks, what Cheng Shi saw was more of a sisterly friendship.

But it's a pity she picked the wrong "gift," and fortunately he got it one step ahead, otherwise he would really lose twice.

Cheng Shi smiled, looking at Zhen Xin's curious eyes, and his tone suddenly became playful:

"So what kind of world have you come to know?

"Or do you feel that you have already seen this world for what it is?"

There was clearly more to these words than met the ear. Zhen Xin was no fool; she caught Cheng Shi's meaning, raised an eyebrow, and with a casual wave of her hand, conjured two figures out of thin air within the empty theater.

One was none other than the resurrected Klaus, and the other...

... was actually her sister, Zhen Yi!

Zhen Yi was seen wrapping Klaus in a small bag, then laughing as she ran out of the theater and disappeared, leaving behind countless "visible" traces within the theater.

Once all this had occurred, Zhen Xin pulled out a slender, hard-tipped pen and began writing and drawing before her; a moment later, these traces truly settled into every corner of the theater.

In this way, whoever came and saw these traces would know they had been deceived by Zhen Yi, that she had already succeeded in taking Klaus himself, and thus the secret within this theater must also have been pocketed by this First Misfortune.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi blinked in astonishment.

He knew this was Zhen Xin demonstrating her sincerity. This should have been his own cleanup work, but now, Cheng Shi had even saved himself the steps of fabricating lies for others later; he could well push everything onto Zhen Yi.

But... isn't she your sister?

No! Isn't she just you?

Sister, are you so infested with lice that you don't fear the bites, or do you simply not care about inviting trouble upon yourself?
