Chapter 871: Trouble

Trouble

Void, Fish Bone Hall.

The huge skull on the bone throne looked at the small skull at his feet who didn't say a word, and violent green flames roared in the deep eye sockets.

"My, faith, when, is it, 【Deception】's, turn, to, interfere?

He, really, thinks, that stealing, my, believer, 【Death】's, divine name, can, also, be, stolen, by Him?

Ignorant, of, what is good!

He, again, and again, with, the theory of faith, deceives me, really, think, I, am afraid, of Them, 【Nothingness】, is it!?"

"..."

The small skull didn't dare to make a sound. His huge eye sockets seemed to want to narrow, but no matter how he narrowed, he couldn't change the shape of the two eye holes. He could only slightly wrinkle the edges of these two empty holes, and then remained silent for a moment, cautiously correcting the statement of that Lord.

"Lord, forgive my presumption, I must remind you that this is just 【Deception】's message, and it seems... to have nothing to do with the other one of 【Nothingness】."

"How, is it, possible, to have, nothing, to do with it?

You, are, too, simple, and don't know, 【Nothingness】, the complexity, of the path!

Once, things, involve, Cheng, Shi, 【Nothingness】, will, become, one, and be of one heart.

This, is, Their, era, 【Nothingness】, cannot, be, underestimated."

"But Lord," the small skull raised his head in confusion, "Didn't you just say you weren't afraid of Them?"

Before he finished speaking, and before the last word "afraid" fell, the small skull immediately realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly closed his mouth.

It's broken. The nerves that had always been tense after coming to this Lord had been too relaxed, and he started speaking without thinking. How could such words be said!?

It must be 【Deception】 influencing me!

The small skull shook his whole body and looked down at the floor. This white bone floor was really white.

The huge skull was also stunned, and then the look at the small skull added a few more examinations.

"Your, words, have, become, many.

Sure enough, any, life, that approaches, Him, cannot, escape, 【Deception】's, pollution."

"It seems so!" The small skull nodded hurriedly and advised cautiously, "However, Lord, based on my understanding of 【Deception】, if you don't agree to His... request, the subsequent harassment will be..."

"He dares!?"

"Lord, forgive my bluntness, He might not dare to face your divine power directly, but He might go to harass others, inciting and instigating Them to indirectly harass you..."

Hearing this, the green flames in the huge skull's eyes flickered instantly.

He knew that what his believer said was true, and 【Deception】 could do such things.

The small skull continued:

"So instead of enduring more harassment in the future, it's better to... lend a helping hand to 【Deception】's request and help Him for a while. Only in this way can you enjoy peace."

"..."

Could the huge skull not understand such a simple truth? No, he understood, he understood too well, and it was precisely because he understood too well that he couldn't swallow this breath.

It was just that his slight exposure of fear was known by 【Deception】, and He had been pressing step by step with this as a threat, and now He had started to interfere with his faith fusion!

If this continues, who knows which day, 【Deception】 will really put on 【Death】's divine name?

Must guard against it, must guard against it!

But...

The huge skull suddenly interrupted his thinking and looked at his believer quietly. This gaze contained too many complex emotions, making Zhang Jizu, who was stared at, a bit panicked.

Not bad, the small skull was naturally Zhang Jizu. He came to greet his benefactor in advance, so as not to be deceived into the pit by 【Deception】 when that Lord knew nothing.

But now it seemed that his benefactor seemed to have... an opinion on him?

"You, have, changed, a lot.

In the future, stay, away, from, Cheng, Shi.

You, are already, contaminated, with, too much, 【Deception】, aura.

Today, it, looks, like, His, lobbyist!

Don't forget, you, are, first, my, believer, gravekeeper, and only then, His..."

Speaking of this, the huge skull's tone became indignant. He seemed unwilling to mention the past when the believer was deceived and cheated away.

"... Forget it, you are right.

I will, help, Him, one, more, time, as, a reward, for Him, not, treating, you, badly, in faith.

But, absolutely, will not, have, a next time!

Absolutely, will not!"

"... Praise the great God of 【Death】."

Although the benefactor said this firmly, Zhang Jizu always felt that there would definitely be a next time. After all, whether there would be a next time might not be up to that Lord, but up to his other benefactor.

But the benefactor was kind, and all he could do was notify Him in advance as he did now.

However, to be honest, after the secrets about Them obtained from Cheng Shi recently and his own observation of the two benefactors, Zhang Jizu always felt that this Lord on the bone throne was not really rejecting the God of Fun. His performance was more like not wanting to publicly support the God of Fun on the surface.

So... could it be that They had long formed an alliance?

Otherwise, it was hard to explain why he was so vividly deceived into 【Deception】. The fusion of faith happening to him could only explain two problems:

Either these two had a secret cooperation, or the God of Fun's strength was far higher than the Lord's. Only in this way could He deceive him away in front of the Lord.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jizu frowned, and while the green flames in the Lord's eyes were slightly extinguished, he tentatively asked a question:

"Lord, do you know that 【Nothingness】 has a god called... Envoy Envoy Yu Xi?"

Zhang Jizu didn't forget Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. Excessive forgetting would make memory chaotic. Even if 【Existence】 would reasonably make up for memory, the cautious Mi Lao Zhang didn't choose to hand over his memory to 【Existence】. After all, he was also half a 【Nothingness】 believer.

So in that trial, what he forgot was not Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, but the fact that Cheng Shi had dual personalities.

All his worries about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi came from Cheng Shi's dual personalities. Just as he said to Cheng Shi, he was afraid that Cheng Shi's 【Deception】 personality was actually a hint of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's self-recovery. But having reached a deep alliance with Cheng Shi, he didn't want to be worried about this in subsequent cooperation, or even give up this alliance out of steady considerations. So, Zhang Steady took a risky and bold decision:

He decided to believe that Cheng Shi could handle the relationship between the clown and Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, and then decisively chose to forget about Cheng Shi's dual personalities.

This was a small adjustment to memory. After the Remembrance of the Past took effect, the original Envoy Envoy Yu Xi hint personality changed into the trace of Cheng Shi pursuing Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. In this way, Zhang Steady could stabilize his mentality and continue to cooperate with Cheng Shi, and wouldn't spend too much energy on guarding against Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

It was rare to have an opportunity at this time, so he naturally asked this question to his benefactor.

That Lord on the bone throne was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and hummed:

"【Nothingness】, has, never, had, a god, and you, also, have, never, had, a god."

"【Existence】 also has no god?" Zhang Jizu was also stunned, "But I heard recently that 【Time】 has a god called 【Hour Hand】. He seems to be the first hour hand pinched by 【Time】 when He descended... Could this be fake?"

The huge skull's eyes reignited with green flames. He pondered for a moment and shook his head again:

"Perhaps, not fake, but definitely, not true.

【Time】, since, 【Nothingness】 era, opened, has become, more, mysterious, no one knows, what He is, doing.

I, have also, never, heard, that He, ever, created, any, hour hand.

On the contrary, you, mentioned, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi...

I heard, 【Deception】, once, abnormally, favored, a believer, but this, believer, seems, to have, long ago, died, in the first, god war, of the 【Nothingness】, era."

"God War!?" The small skull tried to narrow his eye sockets again.

"Not bad, 【Nothingness】, not long after, descending, the new, era master, then, to the, old, master, launched, a provocation.

【Nothingness】, and, 【Existence】, fought, a battle, attracting, the gods, to watch.

Although, era changes, this matter, is common, but never, has, any, one, done, like 【Nothingness】, generally, obviously.

So, I, just said, 【Nothingness】, forever, is one, even if, 【Deception】, backstabbed, 【Fate】...

But, no one, knows, if that, was, 【Nothingness】, performing, a bitter meat plan.

So, even if, seeing, Them, appear, cracks, no one, dares, in this, era, to provoke, Them."

"..."

The news received today was too explosive, making Mi Lao Zhang's brain appear slightly stuck. He carefully remembered these words of the benefactor, and always felt that not only he had more words, but also this Lord.

Could it be that it was really like what the God of Fun said, that gods need company when they get old?

"..."

Zhang Jizu, what are you thinking? Where did your thinking and logic go? Are you really going to become a 【Deception】 brain?

Zhang Jizu shook his head violently, shaking out the messy thoughts, and hurriedly asked again:

"If 【Nothingness】 splits, what will happen to the believers of faith fusion?"

"That, is not, what, you, should, care, about.

Step down, what you said, I, already, know.

You, rest, assured, and move, forward, just, do it."

As he spoke, the whole white bone hall turned into a torrent and rushed toward the small skull, flushing it into the void and disappearing. ===== CHAPTER 872 =====

As he spoke, the entire bone palace transformed into a torrent and rushed toward the small skull, sweeping it into the void, where it vanished without a trace.
