Chapter 984: Everything is a Foolish Act

Everything is a Foolish Act

Silence is the majority of the void.

【Silence】 does not often appear, but it is everywhere. The image He shows to the world is mostly the huge 【Leak-Boundary Silent Puppet】. Interestingly, the lives that have witnessed this image are often assimilated into the silent puppets under His hands, silenced into eternity, and have no chance to speak to the outside world about the magnificent posture of their benefactor.

So it can also be said that He has never descended, at least there are few traces in the memories of the living.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, a lucky person protected by 【Fate】 remembered what that huge silent puppet looked like, but this lucky person is not willing to recall it often.

And it was in this silent domain where there were few sounds that the pair of chaotic white eyes opened again.

【Foolishness】 never shares, 【Silence】 never expresses. When these two meet, they should have passed by each other, ignoring each other.

But it is difficult for any existence in this universe to escape 【Foolishness】's questioning, so that same question sounded again in this place of silence.

"Do you think your foolish acts will have an answer?"

"..."

"Why is the universe foolish?"

"Why does 【Nothingness】 fear?"

"Where is my authority hidden?"

"What promise did 【Deception】 give you?"

"You don't think that by staying silent, I can't find the answer from you, do you?"

"【Silence】, don't think that a fake assimilation can clear your relationship. I know you and 【Deception】 are in the same boat."

"It seems that the secrets of 【Nothingness】 are too many, making you feel fear too."

Those chaotic white eyes stared fixedly at the silent puppet in front of him, but the huge puppet didn't move at all, like a shell that had lost its soul, without any reaction.

【Foolishness】 frowned slightly and glanced at the other party.

"Disdaining the world for being unwise, so unwilling to open your mouth to enlighten again."

"I know your heart is far better than mine, so, the thing that makes 【Chaos】 end in fear..."

"【*He】 has already descended, right?"

"..."

"Foolish without knowing it."

Seeing that the puppet still didn't move, those white eyes left a disdainful look and left again.

And just after 【Foolishness】 left, 【Deception】 arrived.

When those familiar starry eyes opened in this place of silence, the 【Leak-Boundary Silent Puppet】, which had not moved at all just now, "expressed respect" and slowly retreated half a step.

He wasn't afraid, he just wanted to leave.

The so-called "out of sight, out of mind." Although 【Foolishness】 is also annoying, 【Silence】 is also 【Chaos】 after all. He understands 【Foolishness】; as long as he ignores him, the other party will always leave.

But this thing in front of me...

"Hee~"

"Why is there a smell of 【Foolishness】 all over you?"

"He came?"

"What did he ask you?"

"Forget it, what did you say?"

"You wouldn't have told him all the little secrets between us, would you, mute?"

"..."

"Why, want to run?"

"If you move again, I'll tell everyone that you know the secrets of 【Nothingness】. Don't believe me, try it."

"...?"

Who is keeping secrets for whom?

If you tell this out, whose loss is greater?

If you have the ability, say it... sigh, forget it...

The huge puppet's body stagnated, and he took back the foot that had just retreated half a step.

He was not practicing his own will to offer piety to the supreme, but was synchronizing his fear with 【Deception】 to solidify the confidence in his heart.

Correct, 【Silence】 is indeed a Fear Sect member.

Just as 【Foolishness】 guessed, he knew too many secrets, so many that fear was constantly being born in his heart.

【Deception】 also knew that this companion who had been walking on the road of fear for a long time could no longer turn back, so he recklessly told the other party his discoveries, without considering at all that these secrets would be heard by outsiders.

Because this is 【Silence】's territory, he will silence every sound that outsiders shouldn't hear.

But he didn't expect the other party's first sentence to make him fall into silence again.

"I feel 【Filth-Corrupted】 might have a problem, a big problem..."

Void, Fire-Keeping Hall.

Today's silence permeates the universe, and even the Fire-Keepers cannot avoid its influence. The three people in the hall are speechless, with different expressions.

Fang Shiqing, who had just arrived, looked at Qin Xin sitting behind the table in astonishment, then at the anxious figure standing in front of the table, blinked, and took a long time to recover.

"What are you talking about? Quit, why quit?"

She looked at the figure, frowning tightly:

"The Fire-Keepers will not abandon any comrade at any time. You can say whatever crisis you encountered. Even if Qin Xin can't solve it, can't the Fire of Hope solve it?"

"..."

That figure hung his head, letting the scolding pass without speaking.

Fang Shiqing's face stiffened, and she looked at Qin Xin again:

"One doesn't speak, forget it, you've become a mute too?"

"What on earth is it that forces people to quit?"

"Qin Xin, since the establishment of the Fire-Keepers, there has never been any withdrawal mechanism. Are you sure what you said today is serious?"

"..."

Qin Xin, who was wearing heavy armor, leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table. After a long time, he sighed: "It wasn't me who said it."

Fang Shiqing was stunned, then her face became even more solemn. She turned her head and said in a deep voice: "Then it's you. Why do you want to quit?"

That figure wanted to smile, but after seeing Fang Shiqing's stern face, he pursed his lips and said: "I'm not suitable for being a City Defender anymore."

"Whether you are suitable or not, everyone sees it. It's not a conclusion you can reach just by self-denial."

Fang Shiqing stood with her arms crossed, angry at his lack of ambition, like a teacher disciplining a student. She knew that she shouldn't treat comrades like this, but this matter made her very annoyed, and even a trace of fear grew in her heart.

Even the most fragile times were endured, so why did a disagreement appear in the team when the Fire-Keepers were getting "better"?

Could it be that the road of the Fire-Keepers must be full of bumps?

However, giving up was not Fang Shiqing's character. She continued to persuade:

"Even if you are not suitable for being a City Defender, what about a City Builder? You can completely transfer to be a City Builder."

"But I have different ideas from the City Builders."

"?"

Fang Shiqing's breathing stalled, her eyebrows almost standing up. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a move. The figure was frightened and took a step back, biting his lips tightly and refusing to "admit his mistake":

"It's true, City Builders are brave in pioneering, I don't have that courage."

"Then tell me, how is it that a City Defender who focuses on guarding is not suitable for you?"

"It's me who is not suitable for being a City Defender..." The figure corrected Fang Shiqing's statement, and then whispered: "Everyone is guarding beauty, but I feel that guarding beauty alone in this world is not... In short, evil thoughts and evil desires will never give way to beauty. Simple guarding is not enough to save this world!"

Fang Shiqing laughed out of anger. She looked at the familiar yet strange figure in front of her and frowned:

"Then what do you want?"

The figure clenched his fists, his eyes becoming firm: "I want to clear these things that are not beautiful, sweep them into the trash can. They don't deserve to enjoy beauty, let alone live in the shade of beauty."

"You want to judge others in the name of the Fire-Keepers!?"

The figure raised his head and said resolutely: "I won't dirty the name of the Fire-Keepers, so I decided to quit the Fire-Keepers."

"Request rejected. When you choose to seek my opinion, your decision loses its validity."

Qin Xin tapped the table, calming Fang Shiqing, who was in a trance, and also made a final decision on this matter.

"I am a black-hearted boss. I am short of hands now, so I won't let you go."

"Whether you are suitable or not, everyone sees it. Since you don't

The world is constantly changing, and the Fire-Bearer cannot fall behind.

Since you want to excise the pus from this world, then go ahead and do it. Go and try to break the old walls that are overburdening this world.

It is not that the Fire-Bearer's hands do not touch blood, but that they do not touch meaningless blood.

But remember, never be swayed by desire again, and never let the arrow named 'Good' in your hand carve an 'Evil' name for you.

Today's small meeting ends here. Go about your business.

I will help the City-Breaker find a new Salary-Seeker, but until the new Salary-Seeker is in position, you cannot recruit any new City-Breakers."

"But there is one..."

"I said, you cannot recruit any new City-Breakers.

If he truly wants to join us, you might as well let him consider the City-Guardians or the City-Builders."

Qin Xin's figure disappeared from the hall, and the remaining two looked at each other, falling back into silence.

"Sister Qing, I..."

"No matter what, you remain one of the beautiful things I have witnessed with my own eyes. I believe in you, and I believe in the City-Breakers."
