Chapter 938: One Messenger Falls, Two Messengers Born
One Messenger Falls, Two Messengers Born
Facts proved that after Lele'er died, this land of sinking was no longer dangerous.
The tide of the Sea of Desire was still far away. As long as fear remained, it was not easy to be recruited under careful precaution. This was the experience Cheng Shi summarized after walking this section of the road for the third time.
He moved his small steps back to the foot of the Fear Mother Tree. When he saw the crack caused by the axe was expanding spontaneously, he realized that this giant tree that once pierced the universe and absorbed fear had really rotted to the root.
The withered trunk could no longer support this behemoth with countless twisted branches. Cheng Shi even felt that as long as there was one more axe, this giant tree could fall in front of him.
So, for the colleagues in the Fish Bone Hall, Cheng Shi went all out. He resolutely took out his axe and gave another blow toward the crack.
"Bang—"
This blow was like hitting a chime with a blade, making a deafening buzz. Before Cheng Shi could react, he saw cracks appearing on this giant tree piercing the sky, and then spreading like a snake, instantly covering the whole body, and then...
With a "boom," it exploded.
The giant tree didn't produce slag, but turned into stars, like sprinkling stars into the river, instantly dressing up this desolate and cold land of sinking into another brilliant galaxy.
The aftermath of the explosion flew Cheng Shi away directly. His pupils shrank and his arms bulged, retreating dozens of meters in the posture of plowing the ground with four limbs before he barely stopped. But when he looked up, the muscles all over his body were tighter than just now.
Because he saw an hourglass that looked exactly like a twisted tree in the air in front of the scattered stars, emitting dazzling light, green flowing, and endless life!
"This is!!??"
Cheng Shi was stunned. If it was said that the container of 【Filth】 still needed careful identification, then the container in front of him might be able to say its ownership at a glance.
【Prosperity】!
Who could have imagined that today, after the fall of 【Prosperity】, he could still find a container of 【Prosperity】.
And who could have imagined that after the boss fell, what dropped wasn't a gold coin, but two gold coins?
If this scene was staged on the body of other messengers, Cheng Shi would more or less doubt whether the second container had any problems, but this is Lele'er. He was originally a messenger of 【Prosperity】, the daughter of 【Prosperity】. Even if He fell into the Fear Mother Tree, He still maintained a posture exactly like 【Prosperity】. Does this already explain the rationality of the existence of this container?
However, Cheng Shi at this moment didn't act as decisively as before, because he was also thinking, thinking whether this was a fake of 【Deception】 or a gift of 【Fate】.
That patron who almost broke with the Fear Sect, could it be that He changed His mind again?
Otherwise, could he have such good luck?
If you say the clown is not greedy, that must be fake, but being so greedy... the clown is also panicked.
Taking without asking is being a thief. The last container could barely be said to be a reward for witnessing Lele'er's "innocence." But this one, how to make up an excuse?
Cheng Shi was anxious. He was afraid that if he was slow, the container would have an accident, and he was afraid that this was a trap and some existence was using greed to calculate himself. So the clown, who was anxious, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and finally decided to throw this pot on his patron.
With great power comes great responsibility; with great responsibility comes a great black pot!
What kind of good patron is a patron who doesn't carry a pot for his believers?
So Cheng Shi did it twice, and beeped a small sentence again, but this time his voice was smaller than last time, and his lips only moved without opening.
"The patron bestows, dare not resign. Since the patron lord values me so much, I must repay it with piety!"
After speaking, Cheng Shi didn't even leave time for the God of Fun to default, and directly jumped up and rushed forward, grabbed the container, and snapped his fingers, teleporting himself back to... outside the dream.
Yes, outside the dream!
The talent "Elusive Chip" bestowed by 【Time】 allowed Cheng Shi to set the time node for exchanging dice in the trial outside the dream. But the mental power required for such a long time span was a bit beyond the current Cheng Shi's limit. Then why did he succeed...
Because "Praise 【Prosperity】", no, praise the big cat!
It was the Thorn Weeping Ceremony that created a miracle again. When Cheng Shi first prepared to take the 【Filth】 container and run out of the land of sinking, he hung the Thorn Weeping Ceremony on his arm to prevent himself from being unable to run halfway.
But unexpectedly, the backup just now wasn't used, and the mental power filled up now became the key for Cheng Shi to escape the dream.
And just as the clown left this grotesque and bizarre dream, a pair of starry eyes opened above the place where the Fear Mother Tree was originally rooted.
Those eyes looked at the direction of the Sea of Desire with a smile, and said inexplicably:
"It seems you are also heartless, watching your followers die in front of your eyes and remaining indifferent. Why, what about your desire?
Let the desires of the universe merge, but you yourself abandoned desire. If your followers knew this, would you... still have faith?
Oh right, you don't need faith, you only need desire. But why do you need so many desires?
I'm curious, is it really you hidden in the Sea of Desire?"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes blinked twice, and the sky of the land of sinking turned from sunny to dark. The void violently invaded reality, painting everything in the field of vision of those eyes into the void and pitch black of 【Void】.
This pitch black constantly eroded the land of sinking, and spread toward the Sea of Desire at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
But just when the real 【Void】 was about to override the Sea of Desire... those eyes suddenly disappeared!
He took away all traces of 【Void】 and left a sentence:
"Wait for me, I will come to find you soon.
But now, it's not possible..."
Cheng Shi is back. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw that he was back in the dream, and the one who opened his eyes and returned with him was Ke Laoer in the dream.
As for Lideyala, she slept forever, falling on the long table, her hand still touching the branch of the Fear Mother Tree that had already withered into slag.
However, it is interesting that Cheng Shi opened his eyes almost at the same time as Ke Laoer, as if the period of time they passed by each other didn't leave any traces in the dream.
Sun Miao saw Cheng Shi first lower his head and lose strength and then wake up in shock with Ke Laoer, thinking he found a way to witness a bigger secret. But just when she was about to ask what the other party saw, she keenly saw the mocking smile that Cheng Shi deliberately suppressed at the corner of his eyes, and immediately stopped her voice.
Cheng Shi saw this and asked back while holding back laughter: "Why don't you ask me what I saw?"
Sun Miao snorted coldly, exposing his lie mercilessly:
"Boring trick.
【Deception】 followers shouldn't use these fancy lying means on their own people. You acted very like it. If you had held back the smile at the corner of your eyes, maybe I would have been fooled.
Do some serious work, Vice President Cheng. You'd better pray that our High Inquisitor will say something with emotion next, otherwise Lideyala's death will become a cold case again.
History will only record that she died in a consciousness exchange, but as for how she died... I hope we can find the answer today."
The answer is already there, you just don't know it.
Cheng Shi smiled slightly, pretending to be focused and listening, but the tight heartstrings slowly relaxed a bit.
Fooled...
In this way, no one knows that he got two containers in that absurd extended dream.
Who could imagine that he, who only learned about the container news not long ago, has now become a "container wholesaler"?
Feeling the two stationary containers in his personal space, Cheng Shi smiled happily...
And panicked. ===== CHAPTER 939 =====
