Chapter 949: Do you have any last words, Lin Xi?

~8 min read 1,401 words

Do you have any last words, Lin Xi?

Cheng Shi had no bottom-line means after throwing away all his backups.

Five thunders were all used up, 【Fate】's mask also lost the opportunity to switch warriors, and even under Avlos' "expectation," he didn't dare to enable the Sinner's Redemption again...

So he could only scare Lin Xi, letting the other party's fear recharge his ring again.

Now it seems the effect is very good. Lin Xi filled five layers alone.

Coupled with 【Decay】's Fading enhancement of physique, even as a clown, he could fight Lin Xi in front of him again.

However, when he saw that the ultimate move of the Messenger he had hidden all the way had not taken Cheng Shi away, Lin Xi had lost all his spirit and completely turned into a piece of "rotten wood."

Of course, whether this was mixed with the influence of Chun's death, outsiders didn't know. In short, judging from what Cheng Shi saw now...

The withered tree is withered.

It's ridiculous to say that a player who often advertised himself as pious found his true self at this moment and turned back into the confused boy he once was.

It's just that no matter the image or the mentality, Lin Xi was no longer related to the word "boy."

He was no longer obsessed with his piety, nor did he regard Cheng Shi as the target of the oracle's eradication. He just lay on the ground motionless, his hollow eyes looking up at the cloudless sky, not knowing whether he was thinking about the meaning of life or missing the "unbearable" past.

To be honest, Cheng Shi had never tasted such complex emotions in a person's expression. He didn't even need to get close, just take a look from far away, and he knew that Lin Xi at this time, except for rotting, had no other requests.

But ironically, Lin Xi, who had been deprived of 【Decay】 faith, couldn't even rot himself. So after a long silence at the scene, Lin Xi turned his head with difficulty, stared at Cheng Shi with eyes that already had a will to die, and spoke tremblingly:

"Why... are we living?"

Cheng Shi could feel Lin Xi's emotions spraying at the end of his life, but this didn't mean he would empathize.

So listening to this meaningless confused question, Cheng Shi sneered:

"Tsk—

Thinking about the meaning of life now?

Lin Xi, oh Lin Xi, people can't just wake up and repent of the past when they are frustrated. Don't make yourself look so pitiful. I still like your unruly appearance."

"..." Lin Xi's confusion was obviously interrupted by these sarcastic words, but he had no heart to be angry anymore, just repeated this question sluggishly again.

Cheng Shi frowned slightly and gave him an answer casually: "To live."

"To live? Ha, haha, but what is the meaning of living?" Saying that, Lin Xi cried. Two lines of turbid tears flowed from the eyes of this executioner who had slaughtered countless players and even regarded life as grass.

However, Cheng Shi was unmoved and unable to empathize with him, and even stabbed him heavily in the heart when the other party was most confused and desperate.

"Your living naturally has no meaning, because betrayal made you personally deprive the meaning of your own life.

Lin Xi, don't forget, your life was not earned by yourself."

"I didn't betray!!!" Lin Xi suddenly sat up and roared at Cheng Shi hysterically, "What I hate most in my life is betrayal! It was she who betrayed me! It was Chun who betrayed me!"

Memories and tenderness flashed in his eyes from time to time, and anger and hatred flashed from time to time. This Plague Cardinal with sparse hair tore his few hair like a madman, roaring madly:

"She abandoned her faith and betrayed her lover to live for herself, and defected to 【Prosperity】. Did she ever think that one day she would still die before me!?"

"This is what she deserves! She deserves it!!"

Lin Xi's voice was hoarse, but gradually his tone became lower and lower, "It's all what she deserves..."

He kept repeating these words, seemingly wanting to use this to numb himself and dissolve the hatred.

Cheng Shi frowned tightly. It could be seen that Lin Xi's reaction was not fake, so Chun's redemption for her lover turned out to be a betrayal in Lin Xi's eyes.

This is no wonder that these two people could fight from that time to now, hating each other like this.

Facing an 【Annihilation】 believer who came to hunt him down because of an oracle, Cheng Shi had no obligation to clarify anything for Lin Xi. He didn't even explain Garuda's love to Lele'er, let alone just a mortal's self-trouble.

But thinking of Chun's trust in him, Cheng Shi sighed and finally mentioned one last sentence:

"Have you ever thought that she was saving you?"

"Save? Hahaha, save me?" Lin Xi, who was just empty-eyed and confused, suddenly distorted his expression. He stared at Cheng Shi, his scalp scratched with blood marks, "Fate Weaver, tell me, is the so-called saving stabbing me in the heart!?"

"Do you know that the dagger almost took my life!?"

"If it weren't for the benefactor's pity, I would have died in her hands long ago. Is this saving!?"

"Ha, hahaha, if this is saving, I would rather die in the shadow of the defeated tomb, at least that way, there are people who love me in my memory..."

Sure enough, this is a misunderstanding that cannot be explained.

Ordinary people cannot fathom the will of 【Decay】, but Cheng Shi, who has faced 【Decay】, knows that perhaps it was Chun who pushed Lin Xi to the edge of death, which made their benefactor, who is also a "poor man," feel pity for Lin Xi, just as He also expects this decay of the universe to make 【He】 feel pity for Himself.

And this is probably the reason why the God of Fun calls 【Decay】 a "stinky beggar," because He is begging for the alms of 【Origin】, praying for the pity of that omniscient and omnipotent one.

This has to be said about the magic of fate.

Chun's motivation for saving people was good, but her understanding of Him was wrong, but fortunately the final result was "good"... at least the person was saved.

But the things these people did after being saved...

Forget it, if you don't know how to evaluate it, then let's scold fate together.

Fate, the posture appearing in front of the world is always as standard as ever.

"Any last words?" Cheng Shi suddenly said.

Lin Xi was stunned. He seemed to have seen the 【Death】 hall Cheng Shi mentioned opening the door to him, but before he could say anything, Cheng Shi raised his hand and threw out three decisive thunders, blasting this 【Decay】 believer into ashes.

Astonishment, confusion, fear, hatred... at this moment, all vanished.

"Sorry, I always have to lie to you about something.

You came to kill me, and I have no obligation to leave last words for a killer."

Cheng Shi shook his head without joy or sorrow, and turned to leave this mountain col dense forest that had been wiped out of a large part of reality.

He had said that he would bury the 【Decay】 maggot with the forest of 【Prosperity】, but since this maggot is no longer 【Decay】, then it is excusable that the burial place is no longer 【Prosperity】, right?

So he clapped his hands and returned to the trial.

But before he could lift his foot, a familiar figure suddenly fell back into reality and landed in front of him.

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, his eyes had joy but he cautiously took half a step back.

"Chun? You didn't die?"

That's right, standing in front of Cheng Shi was Chun, who had been thrown into the world about to be annihilated by Herobros.

At this time, her face was unusually complex. Her gaze bypassed Cheng Shi and looked at the pile of "familiar" ashes. Her mouth opened and closed several times. Her expression was both laughing and crying, her eyes were misty and moist, and she asked a question exactly the same as the one in Lin Xi's mouth, confused and helpless:
