Chapter 860
The ending crafted by the Clowns for the trial.
It must be said that Zhen Xin had indeed considered 【Chaos】, and her starting point was her consistent liar's mindset.
In this game, the only one that could be considered on par with the 【Deception】 talent in terms of "deception and obfuscation" was the 【Chaos】 talent. With the assistance of the 【Chaos】 talent, it is hard to imagine what kind of tricks a liar could pull off.
The best example was Cheng Shi at this moment; without the Chaos role-playing method, he still could not have deceived Zhen Xin, who possessed two sets of talents.
Furthermore, the effect of a 【Deception】 believer mastering the 【Chaos】 talent is completely different from a 【Chaos】 believer mastering the 【Deception】 talent. The former's goal would still be "deception," with the 【Chaos】 talent merely being a means to assist in completing the deception, while the latter focuses more on "chaos." For instance, Hu Wei, who intentionally fused 【Deception】, only wanted the cognitive disorder brought about by the Grand Marshal identity.
It is impossible to probe the God of Joy through Hu Wei, because the God of Joy never hesitates to grant a second faith; He intentionally controls what faith His believers should fuse with, so using His collection items to probe His control over 【Chaos】 is undoubtedly a very good method.
Do not forget, Cheng Shi fused 【Chaos】 through the mouth of the true 【Chaos】 itself; that final 【Chaos】 was like the afterglow of the apocalypse, shining upon Cheng Shi and turning him into a Reason Eater.
But now 【Chaos】 has already become 【Order】, so if Zhen Xin can successfully fuse it, it undoubtedly indicates that the God of Joy has deeply intervened in the 【Chaos】 temple, and perhaps has even begun to act on behalf of all the power and authority of 【Chaos】.
If this point can be verified, Cheng Shi can use this as a base to boldly speculate on the God of Joy's layout and to conduct some probes he previously dared not attempt. After all, when all means of "deception and obfuscation" in the universe are controlled by the Fear Sect, as a member of the Fear Sect, Cheng Shi naturally has the confidence to explore some truths others dare not peek at under the protection of his Patron, no longer fearing that these truths will be deceived or obfuscated by other existences.
Zhen Xin frowned slightly and began to seriously consider this matter.
She was an absolutely intelligent person. When the topic of conversation touched upon 【Order】, Cheng Shi suddenly brought up 【Chaos】, which forced her to elevate her perspective to think about the other party's intentions.
However, once a matter involves Them and faith, a player's thoughts are likely insufficient to influence anything, but if it contains the will of some He, or rather the God of Joy Himself, then this matter becomes interesting.
She had originally thought her state was already a kind of fusion—【Deception】 fused with 【Deception】—but now it seemed, could both she and Zhen Yi fuse again?
Zhen Yi must have no interest in faith fusion, but that does not mean Zhen Xin has no interest.
She pondered the relationships between the gods, wondering if the God of Joy was the opposite of 【Order】, or if the God of Joy had simply reached an alliance with 【Chaos】?
Just like the alliance relationship between herself and Cheng Shi?
"If 【Order】 is truly shattered, I guess He wouldn't use such a 'subtle' way to probe. Given the God of Joy's temperament, He would likely have gone straight to the door, so I am more inclined to believe this is a probe of 【Chaos】...
Is He probing 【Chaos】, or... are you probing 【Chaos】?
Or perhaps you are probing the God of Joy?
Cheng Shi, speak clearly. If you want me to be a chess piece, you should know that in such matters, the difference between a clear-headed me and a muddled me is worlds apart.
I can cooperate with you in this play, but the premise is that I must know the complete script.
A director controlling the overall situation might see far enough, but in terms of details, he is far less experienced than an actor, isn't he?"
"..."
Hearing this answer, Cheng Shi felt conflicted.
Every time he received a reply from Zhen Xin, it constantly verified what Big Cat had said: "She is a person who is very good at cooperating." But... she was a bit too good at cooperating.
The excessive perfection always gave Cheng Shi the feeling that once things were handed over to the other party, they seemed to no longer be under his control.
It would be one thing if Zhen Yi gave people this feeling, after all, she was truly crazy, but why could such a calm and steady person as Zhen Xin always give people a faint sense of madness?
It seems her "parents" really drove her mad.
But regardless, this card of Zhen Xin's must be a good one. By continuing to observe her fusion with 【Chaos】, he could also determine to what level the depth of their cooperation could be pushed. Thus, Cheng Shi nodded and, using a method that almost avoided Old Zhang, said a few words to Zhen Xin.
Hearing this brief message, Zhen Xin's expression changed drastically!
To be honest, Zhang Jizu had never seen such intense emotional fluctuations on Zhen Xin's face. At that moment, he even wondered what had happened between the gods, and what could possibly be kept from him at this moment...
Zhen Xin stared at Cheng Shi in disbelief, her expression becoming extremely vivid: "Who exactly are you?"
"?" Cheng Shi was amused.
No, sister, when you extracted information from the Poison's mouth, you were certain I was just playing the identity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, and now you're starting to doubt me again?
"As you can see, Cheng Shi, the Cheng Shi who believes in seeing is believing."
"But I still cannot believe that a player could obtain this information from anywhere. Did He tell you?"
The He Zhen Xin spoke of was not the God of Joy, but referred to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.
Cheng Shi understood and nodded sincerely:
"Yes, He knows a lot, but He is also kept in the dark by those of Them who know even more. Every He is riding the waves in the great tide of the era, and every He has different goals.
I just happened to touch a surfboard by luck and hitched a ride on His, so I know a little more than you do."
"Then what is your goal? To stand firm on the surfboard, or to kick the original owner... off?" Zhen Xin's gaze was burning.
"?" Cheng Shi had a strange expression, thinking, why are you the same as Big Cat?
Haven't learned to walk yet and you want to run?
"It's all the same. I just want to survive and then discuss other things, only now I have a few more ideas: not only do I want to survive, but I also want to survive with clarity."
"Living with clarity is not that easy; it's better to live a bit muddled."
Zhen Xin muttered this to herself, her gaze drifting away in a complex manner. Cheng Shi hadn't reacted to these words yet, but Zhang Jizu, who had been silently standing by for a long time, suddenly laughed:
"Live long enough, and naturally, you will understand everything."
"..."
Cheng Shi looked at Old Zhang speechlessly, thinking, this remark hit home for you, didn't it? Fine, my lying has actually started to make the deceived express their true feelings.
For a time, the three of them fell into a subtle silence.
Not long after, Zhen Xin nodded and accepted this script.
"I will try it, Cheng Shi. As a reward for today's many secrets, I will bring the results of the faith fusion to trade with you for those secrets regarding the other world.
An equivalent exchange of secrets—hmm, I won't let my ally suffer a loss."
"Righteous!" Hearing this, Cheng Shi found Zhen Xin increasingly pleasing to the eye; at least in terms of decisiveness, she was much better than the generous yet stingy Long Wang.
But speaking of Long Wang... Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow: "Miss Magician, where did you trick them off to?"
"The illusion has long since failed. They have already discovered that Zhen Yi and Klaus are fake and are rushing back to the theater.
Sigh, even if you didn't say it, I would have to consider how to wrap things up and clean up Zhen Yi's mess."
"..."
These words completely stunned Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi didn't forget the ambiguous words of Ke Taruo on the 【Chaos】 temple, and had long wanted to make some tests on how deep 【Deception】 intervened in the 【Chaos】 temple, but he had always lacked an opportunity.
And thinking of this today, he suddenly felt that the opportunity seemed to have come. Thus, a bold idea rose in his heart.
Only to see him look at Zhen Xin, ponder for a moment, and then his face was strange: "Miss Magician, have you... considered the fusion of faith?"
"?" Zhen Xin blinked slightly stunned, "Sounds like you chose a direction for me?"
"Not really, if you don't have a specific goal, then...
What do you think of 【Chaos】?
After all, the relationship between you and your sister is also quite chaotic."
"..." ===== CHAPTER 860 =====
"It's very simple. You play yourselves, and I will play Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.
It is time to give the confused believers a little shock of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."
