Wait, you said who is imprisoned here!!??

... and instantly pulled his foot back.

From the fourth rank onwards, the influence of 【Chaos】 power on mortals could not be ignored. So if he just walked through it again according to the previous rhythm, Cheng Shi really didn't know how he could cross the fifth rank to reach the sixth rank.

After all, he didn't know ballet, and twisting his body in place wouldn't allow him to collapse on the sixth rank.

Therefore, to complete the Benefactor's "task," he had to find another way.

Cheng Shi had self-knowledge. He pondered for a moment and quickly thought of a painless way to climb the stairs:

Switch back to 【Fate】 and cheat with dice.

Da Yi had actually used this trick. This reckless refraction-shadow directly flashed to the tenth rank, then instantly turned into symbols and scattered everywhere, which had given Cheng Shi a big scare at the time.

But Da Yi turning into symbols didn't mean Cheng Shi would also turn into symbols. His goal was only the sixth rank, not the tenth. Zhen Xin had already proven with her body that a mortal climbing to the sixth rank would at most die, at least not die into symbols.

Besides, not to mention whether the God of Fun in the temple above would let him die just like that, just speaking of that lord on the Fish Bone Hall, would He pretend not to know him after meeting again?

Impossible. He would definitely save this devout and efficient employee of His.

Thinking this way, the path from life to death seemed to have been cleared by himself long ago. The "authorities" he saw were almost all allies, so occasionally courting death was probably harmless.

Thus, Cheng Shi switched. On the 【Chaos】 Divine Rank, in front of Ke Ta Luo, he switched to 【Fate】, and then he was slapped away by a giant hand made of yellow fog.

"..."

Ke Ta Luo watched helplessly as Lord Cheng Shi was slapped away, and then grabbed back to the temple by that Chaos Giant Hand. He didn't dare to say a word, just lowered his head and prayed that the lord's blasphemous act would not be blamed on him by the Benefactor.

Cheng Shi didn't know how he had fainted either. He only knew that when he woke up, he was already lying in the main hall, and Zhen Xin was lying on the floor not far away, her body still emitting a wisp of unstable 【Chaos】 aura.

Did she fuse?

So fast?

And what about the God of Fun?

Cheng Shi sat up abruptly and looked around, finding no trace of the God of Fun. Instead, he saw the devout-looking Ke Ta Luo walking over with small steps after seeing him wake up.

Cheng Shi was extremely puzzled. He opened his mouth and asked, "What just happened?"

"..." Ke Ta Luo was speechless.

My lord, you blasphemed the God yourself, and you've forgotten it already?

Was it on purpose or by accident?

But no matter what Cheng Shi thought, a servant should do what a servant should do and not guess the thoughts of those above. So he stood honestly by Cheng Shi's side, repeating the Benefactor's instructions.

"My lord, the Benefactor asked me to take you to see a prisoner."

"Who?" Cheng Shi was stunned. He blinked, his expression astonished, "I mean, you're saying that prisoner... is right here? In the 【Chaos】 Temple?"

Ke Ta Luo, filled with awe, nodded in affirmation.

Cheng Shi frowned, thinking thoughtfully, "That's not quite right, Ke Ta Luo. Why is your expression so strange? Is this prisoner's identity very noble?"

Ke Ta Luo nodded again without hesitation.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi's frown deepened. He seemed to have thought of a possibility, but this possibility was too exaggerated, so he wasn't sure.

However, since the Benefactor said he could see, there shouldn't be any problems. So Cheng Shi suppressed the shock and suspicion in his heart, took the hand Ke Ta Luo extended, stood up, and nodded, "Then lead the way."

Ke Ta Luo turned around in response and started walking. But just as the two bypassed the lying Zhen Xin and prepared to step onto the throne platform, the Miss Magician on the floor suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes faintly.

Zhen Xin was also confused. She had long since lost consciousness when stepping onto the fifth rank. Waking up now, she only vaguely heard a familiar voice and thought she had already returned to reality.

But now, opening her eyes and finding herself in the 【Chaos】 Temple, Zhen Xin's brows furrowed tightly together.

That voice... it was definitely Cheng Shi, but why would Cheng Shi's voice appear here?

She didn't get up, but cautiously rolled her eyes to look around. When she saw that there was still a familiar figure with a hidden face standing behind that mysterious Ultraman lord, Zhen Xin whispered in astonishment:

"Cheng Shi? Are you really here?"

?

This shout gave Cheng Shi a big scare.

He glanced quickly at his attire, thinking that the moment he sensed the other party was awake, he had clearly activated the Chaos Roleplay Method to become the image of Ultraman, so why was he still seen through?

Is this her new talent?

That's not right, would the God of Fun pit his own people?

But soon, Cheng Shi saw the clue from Zhen Xin's puzzled eyes. She hadn't seen through his disguise, but had mistaken Ke Ta Luo behind him for him!

It's no wonder she recognized him wrong, because Ke Ta Luo, in a sense, was his shadow, a shadow in history.

Ke Ta Luo was also stunned for a moment. In front of the real person, he didn't dare to steal his identity, so he wanted to pull off his hood to explain. After all, this collection item was also a player favored by the Benefactor, and to a certain extent, her status and identity were even higher than his own. Even if he was loyal to Lord Cheng Shi, there was no need to cause any trouble here.

But he didn't expect that just as he raised his hand to take off his hood, Cheng Shi on the side quietly stopped his behavior and smiled mysteriously at Zhen Xin:

"You woke up at just the right time. Any later, and the secret here would have to be enjoyed by Cheng Shi alone.

What a pity, clown, you bet wrong, your greed has come to nothing."

"?"

No, my lord, why are you even being sarcastic to yourself?

Ke Ta Luo was exceptionally sharp and naturally understood what the lord meant. He just didn't expect that in order to separate the identities of Ultraman and Cheng Shi, the lord wouldn't even spare his own reputation.

But since the lord had no objections, what objections could he have?

So, the moment Cheng Shi took the lead in acting, Ke Ta Luo decisively took advantage of the visual obstruction to change his appearance under Zhen Xin's nose, turning into "Cheng Shi," and poked his head out from behind Lord Ultraman with a guilty face, greeting Zhen Xin with a dry laugh.

"Look, isn't this a coincidence?

I saw you were sleeping too soundly and didn't have the heart to disturb you. Secrets and such are secondary; your body is your own.

Without a good body, how can you reach the top in this game? Don't you think so, Zhen Xin?"

"..."

"..."

Both people on the scene were speechless.

Cheng Shi was speechless because it was the first time he felt his own mouthiness from the side, but he felt that this was all role deviation caused by Ke Ta Luo's over-acting, not the real him at all.

And Zhen Xin was speechless because she saw through the current situation and the thoughts of this clown ally at a glance.

This temple hides secrets, and this clown who claimed to share information with her actually wanted to hide it from her and swallow this secret alone!

Could it be that he wanted to use this secret to exchange for another piece of information from her?

No, the secret in the temple is definitely not a small matter; one piece of information might not be enough!

Fine, fine, fine. I was wondering where the clown's information sources came from. So, besides that Lord Foolish Play, this clown actually has connections with the 【Chaos】 Messenger!

Zhen Xin, with a rare dark face, climbed up from the ground. Feeling the 【Chaos】 power on her body, she asked with a puzzled face:

"You didn't fuse with 【Fate】, are you going to fuse with 【Chaos】 now?

Is the third faith open too?"

Cheng Shi felt a tightness in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't care at all:

"Sometimes, His gaze is far more important than fusion.

Cheng Shi is a guest I invited, it just so happens that it collided with your visit."

A guest...

It seems Cheng Shi's relationship with Lord Ultraman is also good. Why does this clown always have good relationships with Messengers?

What kind of means does he have to handle these Messengers that ordinary people haven't even seen?

Zhen Xin knew well that this was not the time for deep investigation and thought, so she suppressed the various doubts in her heart and bowed slightly to Lord Ultraman:

"My lord, now that I can be considered to have received the Benefactor's gaze and become a member of 【Chaos】, I would like to ask, do I have the qualifications to know the secret in this temple?"

Cheng Shi didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Ke Ta Luo.

He certainly wasn't asking for Ke Ta Luo's opinion, but asking whether Zhen Xin needed to be avoided regarding the identity of this prisoner.

From Cheng Shi's perspective, Zhen Xin was a good ally. Since he had even shared the secret of 【Order】 with her, there was naturally no need to be on guard against her all the time. Today's events were just to establish the image of Ultraman and separate Cheng Shi's identity. Since the expected effect had been achieved, there was no need to cover up in other aspects.

But he wasn't sure what the God of Fun's arrangements were, so he let Ke Ta Luo explain.

Ke Ta Luo pondered for a moment, smiled at Cheng Shi, and responded to this question in the tone of "Cheng Shi":

"The lord's generosity really makes me ashamed.

A small gamble is just for fun. Since I lost, it's naturally based on the lord's arrangements."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi knew that the secret in the temple didn't need to be hidden from anyone, so he beckoned to Zhen Xin with peace of mind:

"You're in luck. Come, let me take you to see Him."

Zhen Xin followed quickly with a surprised face, walking side by side with "Cheng Shi" behind the lord. She glanced at "Cheng Shi" and asked in a low voice:

"See who? The Lord of the Temple?"

"Cheng Shi" shook his head, looking straight ahead, and replied in a low voice: "Not 【Chaos】, it's... 【Order】."

No, wait a minute, who!!??

For a moment, Lord Ultraman, who was leading the way in front with his ears pricked up, stopped in his tracks abruptly.

Super-sized cup!
