Chapter 866: The first Clown Assembly?

The first Clown Assembly?

(4000 words without chapter division, today counts as three chapters! I'll praise myself first: very brave today!)

Of course, it was impossible for the players to have heard of 【Hour Hand】.

Among this group of Chosen, the only player who knew 【Hour Hand】 had already died, and died at the hands of 【Hour Hand】.

The identity Cheng Shi fabricated might only be known to the God of Fun. After all, the Universe Clock platform at that time was transformed by the God of Fun, and even 【Time】 might not know that He had such a pious "servant" wandering outside.

Cheng Shi exposing this identity at this time was not because he had the certainty to find the real 【Time】 "Temple" and disguise as 【Hour Hand】 in it, but simply wanted to test whether he could get the same treatment from 【Time】 as the 【Chaos】 Messenger Ultraman.

After all, 【Time】 didn't have a "company" to manage time, so finding an "outsourced successor" wasn't unreasonable, right?

This incidental test might not succeed, but Cheng Shi knew that if you didn't test, it would definitely not succeed.

【Fate】 above, what if?

No one could be sure about changes. What was bet on was a probability of no capital and ten thousand profits!

The other players present had already been led into the ditch by Cheng Shi's small script. They began to think about why Envoy Envoy Yu Xi would suddenly appear, and why He would agree to Long Jing's request to guide the acrobat to approach 【Time】.

This scene was more like the mysterious Envoy Envoy Yu Xi taking a fancy to Long Jing and rewarding the only "pious" follower in this performance with a piece of candy. Besides that, only Seeing Zhen Xin's idea was the boldest, daring to guess whether Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was testing 【Time】 with Long Jing.

The relationship between the gods was too complicated, especially when it involved the God of Fun, this complexity could almost double. So everyone who couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time simply stopped thinking and began to face the current situation.

The trial had entered a countdown. When everyone was certain that they knew the secret in this trial, they could exit at any time, but now none of the four people made a move.

They looked at each other, especially Long Wang. He was not only playing a game of eyes with Seeing Zhen Xin, but also observing Zhang Jizu with great interest, observing Cheng Shi's reaction. Not long after, he confirmed one thing:

The people present were all clowns!

This was a guess without evidence, but Li Jingming believed his intuition.

And if this guess was established, it meant that the performance of these few people just now was indeed blatantly pitting Long Jing, but it was disrupted by the real Envoy Envoy Yu Xi who happened to descend.

This was very interesting. A clown singing for 【Nothingness】, who didn't absorb the "pious" acrobat, but recruited a believer of 【Death】 who had nothing to do with 【Nothingness】. Looking at it this way, could this gravekeeper with extremely small eyes... have fused with 【Deception】?

The eyes of smart people could speak. Although the scene was very silent, the four gazes sweeping back and forth looked like a fierce discussion had broken out here.

Not long after, Seeing Zhen Xin chuckled: "Why so serious? Shouldn't this be internal communication time now?"

She saw Long Wang's curiosity about Mi Lao Zhang's presence and speculated that Long Wang was actually a newcomer who had just joined, so she deliberately hid her newcomer identity when speaking, directly breaking the silence with the attitude of "I know you are all our own people."

And when Long Wang heard this, he immediately realized why the other party would dodge the question when asked who was among the clowns in front of Cheng Shi, and just refused to say it clearly.

Because everyone knew that Seeing Zhen Xin and him didn't get along.

Indeed, he should have thought of it earlier. How could there be no 【Deception】 rank-one who had topped the list for a long time among the liars singing for 【Nothingness】.

Li Jingming felt that Cheng Shi probably didn't want him to refuse this organization because of Seeing Zhen Xin, but this was a bit too worried.

To tell the truth, although he didn't get along with Zhen Yi, it was limited to Zhen Yi. For Seeing Zhen Xin, he had always been more curious than opposed. He was very interested in the birth of Zhen Yi and wanted to collect memories about the Zhen sisters even more.

Unfortunately, Seeing Zhen Xin was always wary of him because of her sister.

This attitude made Long Wang feel a bit strange. After all, in everyone's mouth, Seeing Zhen Xin was a person who was very good at cooperation and was not a person who was overly influenced by her sister's emotions. So was her wariness because they had memories they didn't want him to remember?

Li Jingming pondered for a moment, looked at the few people in front of him, and responded with a smile:

"An unexpected meeting, but not unexpected people. This can be called an interesting memory.

I have gained a lot in this trial. Although I lost to someone in the end, I will keep my promise.

This is not the place to talk. The influence of 【Silence】 is still effective. I look forward to the next meeting with everyone.

I hope that by then, we can exchange some more interesting experiences with each other."

As he spoke, he looked at Seeing Zhen Xin and Cheng Shi in turn, then nodded to Zhang Jizu, and his figure slowly dissipated and left the trial.

Seeing Zhen Xin chuckled and glanced at Cheng Shi:

"What Li Jingming said doesn't sound like an old clown. Heh, I now suspect that are there only two real clowns?

Cheng Shi, is there any truth in your mouth?"

Cheng Shi was stunned and curled his lips:

"How can what Cheng Shi says not be the truth?

Furthermore, magician lady, when you ask this question, why don't you ask yourself if there is any truth in your mouth?"

"..."

This question was not easy to answer. Seeing Zhen Xin shook her head and laughed, then waved to the two present, preparing to leave. She could see that these two seemed to have something more to say.

"You know how to contact me. Wait for my news. I will come to find you, Cheng Shi, with the result of the audience. I hope that by then there will be a few sincere truths in your mouth."

As she spoke, Seeing Zhen Xin also left.

For a time, only Cheng Shi and Zhang Jizu were left in the theater looking at each other.

Cheng Shi knew that Mi Lao Zhang must have seen something, but he couldn't be sure how much the other party saw. However, Zhang Jizu didn't question Cheng Shi, but asked a baffling question:

"Do you have any props to erase memories?"

"?"

Cheng Shi didn't know what Zhang Jizu wanted to do, but he still nodded with a strange face and took out the Remembrance of the Past he had plucked from Qin Xin in another world.

"Do you have any worries?"

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, looked at Cheng Shi for a moment, took the syringe from Cheng Shi's hand, and said with a slightly serious tone: "I guessed it."

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he said without changing his face:

"What did you guess?

No, Mi Lao Zhang, you fused with 【Fate】 again in such a short time?

Why do you like to speak in riddles so much?"

Zhang Jizu's eyes narrowed even tighter. It wasn't that he didn't want to say, but he didn't dare to say!

He felt that he had already understood the secret of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, but he wasn't sure if this face-to-face reminder would bring trouble to Cheng Shi, so he didn't dare to speak, and even wanted to forget about this matter, so as not to drag the party involved into the abyss of danger by speaking recklessly.

Cheng Shi felt numb from Mi Lao Zhang's gaze, but soon he realized that the other party's vague attitude wasn't playing riddles with him, but that it wasn't convenient to say something.

Thinking back to the problem the two were concerned about at this time, which was nothing more than the truth or falsehood of "Envoy Envoy Yu Xi," Cheng Shi suddenly realized that Mi Lao Zhang's concerns were likely to come from the "real Envoy Envoy Yu Xi"!

Good news, he seemed not to have to worry about how to explain the authenticity of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, because Mi Lao Zhang's reaction already showed that he believed such a god existed.

But the bad news was... the other party seemed to have thought crookedly, and didn't know where he thought.

Cheng Shi was very conflicted. He felt that there was no need for Mi Lao Zhang to worry so much about this matter, but because of his lie, it was not easy to speak. However, Zhang Steady, who had endured for a long time, finally took some risks for his friend. He took out a piece of paper again and put it in Cheng Shi's hand, and then said with a serious face:

"Approaching is a risk, embracing is a risk, and piety is even more of a risk.

There is indeed nothing absolutely steady in this world, but, Cheng Shi... be yourself.

Being yourself is the steadiest way among these thousands of dangers."

As he spoke, Zhang Jizu used the Remembrance of the Past in his hand.

Cheng Shi didn't understand what Mi Lao Zhang meant at all, until he saw the passage about "Envoy Envoy Yu Xi" that 【Deception】 said to Mi Lao Zhang on that paper:

"He has never appeared, nor has He disappeared.

When you know Him, you don't know Him.

When you understand Him, you don't understand Him either.

Only He knows and understands Himself, and once an outsider truly knows Him and understands Him, then He...

Is no longer Him."

After reading it, he immediately realized what Zhang Jizu was afraid of.

Think about what all the things Cheng Shi instilled in Mi Lao Zhang about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi were like:

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi found him -> He split into a second personality -> The second personality was 【Deception】 -> He possessed 【Deception】's artifacts, which were Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's fragments -> He tried to play Envoy Envoy Yu Xi -> Envoy Envoy Yu Xi descended on him...

This series of cognitions, coupled with 【Deception】's ambiguous "hint," probably made Mi Lao Zhang think of a possibility, that is, 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】, who had disappeared in history, seemed to be resurrecting by a method of "borrowing a corpse to return to life"!

And this resurrection method was to find a shell most suitable for 【Deception】 divinity, let him actively collect all fragments about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, and then wait until all fragments were combined into one...

【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】 might really be resurrected.

As for what the shell would be like after resurrection... no one could foresee the ending, and no one could say it clearly.

This was Zhang Jizu's biggest worry. He suspected that the personality Envoy Envoy Yu Xi guided Cheng Shi to split was not Cheng Shi's personality, but a 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】 personality that was recovering itself!

Admittedly, Mi Lao Zhang thought it all wrong under Cheng Shi's misleading, because Cheng Shi didn't have a second personality at all, and the title Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was just made up casually. But Mi Lao Zhang's line of thought inspired Cheng Shi to think of one thing, that is:

Even without a second personality, would the real "Envoy Envoy Yu Xi" not descend?

After collecting all the fragments and restoring the mask that might exist, would he still be himself by then?

Was the so-called collection item originally a "shell" prepared for other "existence"?

Otherwise, how to explain why the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi would bind to him in a fused form?

Was Mouth Brother the beginning of all actions, the start of this resurrection plan?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's heart tightened. To tell the truth, he didn't want to believe that this was a conspiracy.

Although the position of the fear faction made him feel that he was close enough to the benefactor, but you have to know, when he first got Mouth Brother, he was not a member of the fear faction.

At the starting point of the path where his "piety" was not yet shown and his fear was not deep, was the clown's positioning really just a clown?

Cheng Shi was a bit uncertain. He struggled in his heart for a long time, but still decided to ask Mouth Brother in the most straightforward way, even if this mouth had never told the truth.

"Mouth Brother, what will happen if all the fragments are collected?"

The Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi didn't respond for a long time, and Cheng Shi's heart was slowly sinking, but after a while, it responded, but this response made Cheng Shi's heart sink to the bottom.

"·You finally found out..."

"!" Cheng Shi clenched his fists tightly, his heartstrings tense, but he still pretended to be indifferent and laughed in his heart, as if he were light and breezy, "I am just a shell?"

"·Yes..."

"... A shell to contain Envoy Envoy Yu Xi? Does He really exist?"

"·No, this has nothing to do with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi."

"Nothing to do with Envoy Envoy Yu Xi? Then what does it have to do with?" Cheng Shi blurted out in his heart, but then his face changed, and he realized something, but it was too late, because the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had already said the following words.

"·It has to do with a fool, because your stinky skin contains a clown soul without a brain.

Both a clown and a retard."

"..."

Hehe.

I, Cheng Shi, clown.

Although he was sprayed by Mouth Brother with yin and yang, Cheng Shi at this time was actually laughing a bit happily.

He knew that this was Mouth Brother dissolving his suspicion through sarcasm, but he didn't throw this matter away completely, and still buried slight concerns in his heart. When he didn't understand the true function of the "mask," everything still needed to be careful.

And at this time, Zhang Jizu also woke up from the effect of the Remembrance of the Past. He looked at Cheng Shi and slowly narrowed his eyes.

"What did I just forget?"

Cheng Shi curled his lips and his smile became even brighter. His hand behind his back crushed the note in his hand, thinking that since Mi Lao Zhang didn't want to cause trouble for himself, let him forget it completely.

"Old Zhang, you said you owed me 100 S-level props, do you remember?"

"?"

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes tightly, his eyelids jumping wildly: "Fortunately, I forgot."

"Can you not pay it back if you forget?"

"If I forget how to pay it back, if you insist on cashing it, I will use the cemetery to pay off the debt.

I will reserve 100 graves for you in the cemetery."

"???" Cheng Shi was so angry he laughed, "What's the matter, I have to move 99 times after I die, right?"

"You don't have to move, just put a little bit in each grave."

As soon as this was said, the two looked at each other and were stunned, and both fell into silence.

Even the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi were silent.

"·......"

I always feel like I'm being scolded by pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust, what should I do? ===== CHAPTER 867 =====
