Chapter 990: Who is not a puppet?
Who is not a puppet?
(Super, super, super big!)
"Who is attending?"
Zhang Jizu had been curious about this question for more than a day or two. Although he already knew about Long Wang, Zhen Xin, and others joining the society, he really wasn't sure who else Cheng Shi had developed.
"What's the rush? When you see them, won't you know?"
Cheng Shi sold a mystery. He impatiently asked for the bone bell from the other party, chatted with Old Man Zhang for a while, and tactfully expressed the need to potentially stock up from the cemetery.
Zhang Jizu neither agreed nor disagreed, seemingly waiting for Cheng Shi to use some information to exchange for the answer.
Seeing that Old Man Zhang had become smart, Cheng Shi scolded him, claiming that their friendship was not as good as his neighborly relationship with Xie Yang, and while talking, he wanted to use Xie Yang's gossip to exchange for the corpses in the cemetery.
However, Zhang Jizu listened to the gossip but still didn't respond. Cheng Shi, who had suffered a big loss, angrily explained the method of attendance, threw the "decoration" of the venue to this cemetery manager, and left without looking back.
Before leaving, Cheng Shi also wanted to take away the little skull that looked exactly like him to prevent himself from being blamed by Old Man Zhang again for no reason, but Zhang Jizu put the skull away with quick eyes and hands, which made Cheng Shi even more unhappy.
"I'll report this to the hall! I'll report this to the Fish Bone Hall!"
Seeing the angry little skull hopping away, Zhang Jizu squinted and smiled, looking at the little skull in his hand thoughtfully.
"Fear indeed makes people heavy-hearted. Now it seems you are not as interesting as that love-brained neighbor you mentioned.
I am starting to look forward to the so-called Jester Assembly. Cheng Shi, how many secrets are you hiding in your heart..."
Although he didn't take away the little skull, at least Cheng Shi took away the bone bell.
After returning to the roof of the rest area, he began to think about the "guidance" of the Fear Sect brought by this bone bell.
Discussing the universe under the protection of this bell was undoubtedly dissecting all his knowledge of this universe and showing it carefully to that lord, so the first question involved here was whether that lord knew that the universe they were in was just an "experiment" from a higher dimension.
Currently, there are a total of five gods that Cheng Shi can confirm know this secret:
【Deception】 and 【Time】 who discovered the truth, 【Foolishness】 who is suspected of losing authority because of insight into the truth, 【Birth】 who was tested by 【Deception】, and 【War】 who made a deal with him...
As for the others, Cheng Shi had not communicated with Them for such reasons, so he could not easily draw conclusions.
If the 【Death】 boss is really of the Fear Sect, logically, the God of Fun should have shared this secret with Him long ago to strengthen the Fear Sect's determination. But what if the 【Death】 boss is not of the Fear Sect, but has an ulterior motive to test the God of Fun and His believers, me, what should I do?
Cheng Shi thought for a long time and felt that this matter was easy to handle. If that lord was really not of the Fear Sect, then learning the truth of the universe might allow Him to step directly into the Fear Sect. In this way, wouldn't he become the greatest hero?
A hero asking for a reward... is only natural, right?
So no matter what, the Jester Assembly is imperative.
This is not only to exchange information with the Jesters, but also to infer Their intentions by seeing the big picture from the small, and it is also to pave the way for a bigger plan in his heart.
Although this plan is a bit whimsical, what if it succeeds?
Once the plan is feasible, he can understand the layout of the God of Fun from multiple dimensions, thereby finding a path in the God of Fun's plan that belongs to him but not to the established one.
He doesn't want to move toward nothingness according to the established path. No matter whose established path it is, Cheng Shi is unwilling.
Don't forget, the core will of the Fear Sect is upward fear.
So even if 【Deception】 gives more protection, Cheng Shi must leave himself a backup plan, just because His divine name is 【Deception】, no one can guess how many lies this 【Void】 master has told, especially the sentence "saving the world."
After contacting Old Man Zhang, Cheng Shi contacted several other Jesters one after another. Long Wang was naturally no problem; he had been looking forward to this day.
The Doctor's reaction was a bit interesting. He neither agreed nor refused, only saying that his experiment was at a critical moment and whether he would go or not depended on whether the experiment went smoothly.
Cheng Shi couldn't ask what the experiment was, so he hung up the phone after leaving an attendance method.
He wasn't afraid that the other side was fake. Just kidding, when you walk into the Jester Assembly, where are there any real things?
Then there was Zhen Xin. This History School leader had long been waiting for Cheng Shi to tell the truth of the world, so she agreed readily.
But Cheng Shi was not happy. He urged repeatedly that only Zhen Xin could attend. If another personality appeared, he would permanently deprive the Zhen-surnamed player of the right to attend the Jester Assembly.
Regarding this, Zhen Xin did not comment and threw out a quota for the vice president of the History School to "bribe" this gathering convener.
But how could Cheng Shi be someone so easily bought? He righteously... accepted the burden of the vice president.
"Usually, all intelligence can be copied to me one more time. I won't participate in specific work, otherwise others will think I am relying on your relationship to enter the school and fight for power with other vice presidents, which would have a very bad influence.
But one thing is one thing. Although you provided me with a part-time job, the Jester Assembly only welcomes you. As for Zhen Yi..."
Cheng Shi's face turned dark. "We can talk about other things when she learns to be sensible.
Zhen Xin, I'll say one thing: the 'Hee' weapon is used to deal with enemies, not to pit against our own people. You have to let her know who the older sister is."
Seeing that her sister was so disliked, Zhen Xin hung up the phone with a smile.
Up to this point, all Jesters had been summoned, but Cheng Shi did not end the contact work because he was also preparing to pull the acrobat Long Jing, who had fused with 【Time】, into the Jester group.
He hadn't forgotten what Long Jing said in the other world, and considering that subsequent plans might not be able to do without the help of 【Time】, he felt that this President Gong had reason to occupy a seat among the Jesters.
But Cheng Shi didn't have Long Jing's contact information. In order to accurately contact the right person, Cheng Shi had to mobilize his connections and found... Big Cat.
Of course, he didn't see Big Cat just to contact Long Jing, but also to give Big Cat a gift.
Hong Lin had been busy catching mice for the past two days. She wanted to confirm that her judgment was correct and that the Yug that Cheng Shi saw was likely not a real existence.
However, Cheng Shi knew that the Yug he encountered was definitely real, because the container of 【Decay】 was already lying in his personal space.
As for whether the one Big Cat was pursuing was real, the answer to this question was related to whether his conjecture about the two Yugs was correct, so he strongly supported Big Cat in continuing the pursuit.
The two met in a void. Cheng Shi was concise and said he wanted to exchange something for Long Jing's contact information.
Hong Lin was not surprised that Cheng Shi contacted Long Jing, but the other party's polite appearance really made her a bit dazed.
However, when Cheng Shi took out the hourglass that looked like twisted wood, she was even more dazed.
That's right, the gift Cheng Shi wanted to give was the 【Prosperity】 container.
Don't forget, Big Cat now has the name of 【Prosperity】 agent but no reality of a god.
She had indeed been working hard to find her own divinity, but ever since she learned of the existence of the container, Cheng Shi knew that what Big Cat had been doing was all in vain.
At the moment when 【Prosperity】 fell, the 【Prosperity】 agent had long lost all ways to obtain the container.
Two of His four children were buried in His belly, Dizer defected to 【Decay】 and was dismantled long ago, and the only remaining Leleier jumped into the Sea of Desire and became the Mother Tree of Fear.
Even if Big Cat knew of the existence of the container, and even if she really dared to go deep into the side of the Sea of Desire to find Leleier for the container, she would have to hope that this Mother Tree of Fear, who had long been transformed into a 【Filth】 messenger, could still leave behind the 【Prosperity】 container.
If any step of this was missing, it would be a dead end for Big Cat, who was pushed to the front desk by Cheng Shi to act on behalf of the authority.
But 【Fate】 is so magical. No one could have thought that Cheng Shi would pick up this last remaining 【Prosperity】 container because of greed by the side of the Sea of Desire.
Is this plot familiar?
Sick, doctor came; dying, game descended; believing in fate, granted authority; and now, from having the name but not the reality to seeing the container...
Although the container was brought back by Cheng Shi, when Cheng Shi took it out and explained everything, the first thing that flashed through Hong Lin's mind was those cold starry eyes.
【Fate】!
"Is this the destined person?" Hong Lin's mind buzzed, and for a moment she even forgot to ask Cheng Shi how he got this thing.
Cheng Shi didn't know what kind of brain storm Big Cat was experiencing. Seeing that the other party was suddenly so devout, his expression was extremely strange.
Logically speaking, with this container, under the belief of countless 【Prosperity】 believers, Big Cat would soon be able to obtain her own divinity, thereby gradually becoming a "complete" "He", but...
You are a 【Prosperity】 agent, why is the devotion on your face all written with the two words 【Fate】!?
Is this right?
【Deception】 fooled 【Death】, 【Fate】 abducted 【Prosperity】, it seems 【Void】 is just picking on 【Life】's path.
Fortunately, 【Birth】 is stable enough and ignores everyone, otherwise, I think this universe's origin has nothing to do with 【Life】, and 【Void】 might replace it, becoming the beginning of creation that deceives the world.
Looking at Big Cat's pupils that were shocked to the point of an earthquake, Cheng Shi nodded with a smile:
"This is the destined person."
"But Cheng Shi, why don't you... you still have!?"
Seeing Cheng Shi take out another container, Hong Lin's voice cracked. She snatched the 【Decay】 container from Cheng Shi's hand and said again:
"This is... what you got from that Yug?
Broken, then isn't the one I encountered the illusion in the deduction?"
"..."
Actually, you don't have to use your brain. Big Cat, you are different from others, don't waste your talent on brainpower.
Cheng Shi held back his laughter and did not comment.
At this time, Hong Lin, who was too shocked, had no time to be embarrassed. She looked at the two containers in her hand repeatedly and then asked uncertainly:
"Is this really for me?"
"There is no one in this game more suitable for it than you, is there?"
Why?
Hong Lin really wanted to ask this question, but she suddenly felt it was unnecessary. Her eyes looking at Cheng Shi changed again and again, and finally turned into firmness. She nodded with a serious expression: "Okay!"
The complexity of the emotion in this "Okay" made Cheng Shi see the embodiment of "firmness" directly from Big Cat's eyes. It was a sincerity of entrusting life and death.
"Then what about the 【Decay】 container?
Putting aside the opposition of camps, I tell the truth, there is probably no one among the 【Decay】 players who is worthy of it.
If you want to pick a puppet... help... among them..."
Hong Lin frowned tightly and began to think about the most suitable candidate.
However, Cheng Shi smiled casually, took back the 【Decay】 container, patted Big Cat on the shoulder and said:
"I have my own wonderful use for it.
But Big Cat, you said one thing wrong. You have never been a puppet.
Not in the past, not now, and even less so in the future.
You are you, a friend of the Fate Weaver, and the backer of the Jester."
Who is whose backer is not necessarily...
Hong Lin's nostrils flared, her expression moved. She silently accepted the gift and gave out the prop to contact Long Jing. After being silent for a while, she suddenly raised her head again, her eyes revealing a fierce light:
"What did you just call me?
Cheng Shi, don't think that sending some things from time to time can make you shit and pee on my head. I think you are asking for a beating!"
"?"
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Shi took Long Jing's contact information and slipped away directly. And when he saw the Fate Weaver disappear in this space, Hong Lin stared at the container in her hand and smiled freely and happily.
"The gods are above, manipulating the strings; mortals are below, at the mercy of others.
Who is not a puppet in this game?
The only thing I am luckier than them is that I can still choose to be a puppet of a friend.
For this, I am willing.
Praise 【Fate】!
The coming path and the going path are all destined."
