Chapter 909

Cat and Mouse

Time passed quietly, and Cheng Shi spent a few peaceful days in the rest area.

These past few days, he had been doing psychological construction, preparing to first slightly understand the history related to the War Nation and the Grand Court of Judgment. After having a rough understanding, he would decide whether to really enter the game in person and accelerate the layout process of the God of Fun.

But investigating history is a very cumbersome thing. It is impossible to summarize refined content just by relying on unreliable information in the chat channel, so Cheng Shi naturally thought of the History School, or rather, thought of Seeing Zhen Xin.

He did not forget that Seeing Zhen Xin still owed him a compensation. Although this compensation was asked for by Ke Taruo, who says a shadow is not another self?

So Cheng Shi made a call to Seeing Zhen Xin. Ten seconds after the call was connected, neither side spoke until Seeing Zhen Xin chuckled and said "It's me." Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then discussed with the other party the "task" of Lord Ultraman.

Compared to Cheng Shi, who had not moved an inch, Seeing Zhen Xin was much more diligent. She had long since organized the history of the Grand Court of Judgment and prayed for several trials for this.

But unfortunately, there was no harvest.

However, this result was not surprising. If anyone could see the relationship between the gods through a few trials, then the gods might not be called gods.

Seeing Zhen Xin was not discouraged, and even generously shared her insights and organized notes with Cheng Shi. Although she said it was the compensation she promised him, Cheng Shi knew in his heart that besides the compensation, she was urging him to tell her clearly about other worlds.

After all, she had already merged with 【Chaos】, uncovered a corner of the relationship between 【Fraud】 and 【Chaos】, and completed the so-called promise.

Regarding this, Cheng Shi had no intention of delaying. He just felt a sense of powerlessness in not being able to keep up with the rhythm after continuously deepening his understanding of the God of Fun's layout and plotting, so he felt it was time to find some helpers to analyze these most secret things together.

One person's wisdom can never compare to collective efforts, so Cheng Shi decided to pull a few people over to discuss this matter, and the best excuse was the guidance of Lord Foolish Play.

So he told Seeing Zhen Xin not to worry, the real Clown Assembly was coming. He would tell the clowns at the Clown Assembly what this world was really like, and reveal some secrets far beyond the players' cognition.

Of course, the Clown Assembly has tickets. Seeing Zhen Xin's ticket had already been given, and others would not get these secrets for free, so please rest assured, the magician did not suffer a loss.

Seeing Zhen Xin did not comment on this, just silently thinking about how many contacts with messengers this person still held in his hands.

Not long after the call ended, Seeing Zhen Xin placed the organized historical data in the space designated by Cheng Shi in an incredible way. The data exchange method of the History School was undoubtedly efficient. That afternoon, Cheng Shi began to read these "wisdom of predecessors," and soon he understood the historical trend of the Grand Court of Judgment and even the 【Civilization】 era.

Seeing Zhen Xin said she had prayed for trials in various historical stages of the Grand Court of Judgment, feeling that the period most likely to see the essence of the faith dispute between 【Order】 and 【Filth】 should be the early era of the Grand Court of Judgment when it swept the continent, or the end of the era when the underground counterattacked the surface. Other time spans were too large to trace back to a specific time node.

But Cheng Shi did not think so. After all, Seeing Zhen Xin did not know that 【War】 was also in this dispute, so choosing the historical node of the trial could not just look at 【Order】 and 【Filth】. So Cheng Shi picked and chose, and chose a time node he thought had the best chance of finding clues, which was the beginning of the War Nation's founding, when the Grand Court of Judgment and the Tower of Reason were fighting in a three-way melee.

Desire flowing in the flames of war might be the best time to find clues.

So Cheng Shi decided to try it out first, not obsessed with figuring out all the cause and effect in one trial, just personally experiencing the history at that time, and first confirming as a bystander whether there were any points worth noting in this period of history.

Before setting off, Cheng Shi also made some arrangements. He first contacted Ke Taruo, and in the capacity of "Ultraman," issued tasks to Hu Wei and Da Yi, vaguely revealing some news, asking them to explore the faith dispute during this period to help find clues.

And then he steadily contacted Big Cat. As the current top combat power, Big Cat was undoubtedly the most capable helper in the trial related to war history.

Unfortunately, Big Cat was very busy; she was busy "catching mice."

"Is the trial important?" This was Big Cat's first sentence after knowing about this.

"..."

To be precise, the initial exploration was not important, just accumulating clues for subsequent efforts, but Cheng Shi's curiosity was piqued by Big Cat's question. He dismissed the idea of asking Big Cat for help and asked back:

"Trouble? Need help?"

Xiang Honglin on the other end of the phone shook her head irritably:

"Not for now, it's not a big deal.

Do you still remember that Yuge I told you about before?"

Yuge?

【Decay】 messenger, 【Rotten Vulture End King】?

Cheng Shi was stunned: "You are still looking for Him? I thought your energy back then was just to spar with Him..."

Cheng Shi was embarrassed to continue saying what exactly to spar about, but his meaning was also very clear, basically equivalent to asking Big Cat, "Is fighting that fun?"

Xiang Honglin heard Cheng Shi's astonishment and said irritably:

"This is no longer a simple fighting problem. I did run into Him a few times in the trial, but...

Yuge simply refreshed my lower limit of cognition about gods. As a messenger, as a subordinate god, He is not straightforward at all when fighting, but He is exceptionally good at stabbing people in the back.

Since the first time I met and fought Him, He has been shrinking and hiding, not only trying every means to avoid fighting me, but also seeking revenge for the slightest grievance, constantly retaliating against 【Prosperity】 believers in the dark, which makes people very angry.

I have been catching Him recently, but it is better not to involve you in this matter, otherwise, with Yuge's insidious and cunning nature and incredible escape methods, you will only get yourself into trouble for nothing."

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. He blinked, thinking to himself that this 【Decay】 messenger was really cherishing his life, just as much as when He was an emperor.

However, anyone who sees an opponent they can't beat coming to their door probably wouldn't sit still and wait for death, right?

Cheng Shi smiled helplessly:

"Have you ever thought that He ran so fast because your fist was too hard?

It's okay, Big... Xiang Honglin, this achievement of making a messenger run around with his head in his hands is something only you can get among all players."

Hearing this, Xiang Honglin was even angrier.

"But I didn't even fight Him!"

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, "You just said you two met and..."

"Three seconds." The tone on the other end of the phone could be described as exasperated.

"What do you mean?"

"From the moment I saw Him, to transforming, to rushing out and punching, it took three seconds in total. In these three seconds, He only used a panicked look as a response to my initiating the fight, and then turned into withered vines and ran away from the crowd!

Cheng Shi, can you imagine? Facing a player who hasn't even shown his full strength, a messenger! Just ran away like that!

I said 'fought' to give Him face; my fist didn't even touch His body!

But it was this attack that made Him hold a grudge and start hunting my 【Prosperity】 believers. He is like a 【Decay】 assassin hiding in the dark, Eyes of Scars, constantly retaliating for the greeting I gave Him.

But if you want to retaliate, come at me, why attack 【Prosperity】 believers?"

"... Uh, let's be honest, Xiang Honglin, I remember you said before that you were looking for Yuge because He was hunting 【Prosperity】 believers...

Looking at it this way, it turns out that was really your excuse to find Him for practice, right?"

"..." The other end of the phone was suddenly choked, and after a pause, Xiang Honglin said even more irritably, "That's not important!

The important thing is that this guy angered me, and I must find Him."

Cheng Shi curled his lips and did not comment, but he could understand Big Cat's anger, so he thought about it and gave his own advice.

"Searching blindly is not advisable. Now that 【Decay】 has decayed, Yuge, who feels the loss of protection, will only be more careful. Instead of praying to yourself every day, why not ask An Shenxuan? Maybe 【Fate】 will give you guidance."

Speaking of 【Fate】, Cheng Shi's face froze, and he sighed again:

"Xiang Honglin, although 【Fate】 always protects you and me, sometimes, be careful."

"Careful of what?" Xiang Honglin was obviously stunned.

"Careful of..." Cheng Shi frowned and thought for a moment, but still swallowed the words "Fate."

Forget it, being blindly careful about fate goes against the original intention of the fated person. Since He is willing to protect, let Him continue to protect.

Still the same sentence, the fated is not just fear, but a weapon that can be held in the hand.
