Chapter 991: Invitation from the [Jester]

Invitation from the 【Jester】

After a trial ended, Long Jing returned to the rest area. He immediately discovered the abnormality in the theater and bent down in the aisle of the auditorium to pick up a white paper airplane.

"It's fresh today, but this means of transmitting letters is too old-fashioned...

Let me see which old friend remembered me."

He unfolded the paper airplane with great interest and found that it was an invitation letter. The header was his own name, the middle was a gathering invitation and attendance method, and the signature was...

Cheng Shi!?

At this moment, even if this invitation letter did not state the purpose of this gathering, the word "Jester" jumped into Long Jing's mind again.

The gathering that could be connected with Cheng Shi might not only be the Jester, but the only thing Long Jing could think of was the Jester!

Although the Jester was not known to him from the mouth of Cheng Shi in this world, Long Jing knew that the Jester in this world must have a relationship with Cheng Shi.

But because the specific content of the invitation was not specified, the cautious Long Jing was afraid that this was another trap, and even more afraid that someone was testing him through this invitation.

After all, what Cheng Shi said in that deduction was too scary, so much so that influenced by it, Long Jing's mentality for participating in trials recently had changed, and his eyes looking at the surrounding teammates had become somewhat different from usual.

President Gong had a little dream of becoming a god, or rather, peak players all wanted to get something in this 【Faith Game】, and the way to fulfill their wishes besides approaching Them was to become Them.

It's just that many people were not as fanatical as the Worship God Society, but it cannot be denied that becoming a god is indeed the greatest temptation.

But at the moment, when Long Jing learned that becoming a god might just be a beautiful dream bubble, and even gods might not really be called gods, he began to examine this game from another perspective, and even regarded himself as an "observer" wandering outside the world, watching these teammates running around and dying for piety in the game, feeling a bit ridiculous.

But the most ridiculous one was undoubtedly his past self.

However, even if such an idea arose, Long Jing was not completely without thoughts about this 【Faith Game】. At least he was very interested in the Jester organization mentioned by Cheng Shi in the other world.

According to what the other party said, the Jester would be one of the few hopes left in this world, and because Long Jing in the other world made sufficient contributions to the Jester, he was able to "shade" himself in this world, allowing himself to know the "truth of the world" in advance.

Therefore, after the faith fusion, he had been looking for news about the Jester.

That vicissitudes Cheng Shi did not explain who was in the Jester, but the simplest idea was that Cheng Shi himself should be a member of the Jester, so Long Jing had been looking for Cheng Shi recently, but his actions were not too obvious, and his luck was slightly worse. He hadn't encountered him in more than a dozen trials.

But he was sure there would always be a chance, but he never expected that this chance would come to his door on its own.

Actually, when he saw the letter, Long Jing thought of Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi. He hadn't forgotten that Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had also played Cheng Shi, so he was wondering if this would be an invitation from a god?

But since removing some god filters, he didn't seem as fanatical about Envoy Envoy Yu Xi as before.

However, before he became Them, or rather, before he could contend with them, the respect he should have must still be there. This has nothing to do with piety, but a way of survival.

Clever as Long Jing was, he didn't draw a conclusion so easily, but carefully examined this invitation letter, wanting to find more information besides the text to judge whether this was a real invitation or a fake test.

Not long after, he really found clues.

Incense ash!

Long Jing found a few points of incense ash in the handwriting of this paper airplane that almost no one could notice!

Although this incense ash pressed on the paper by the handwriting was as small as dust, this was enough to explain many things.

Today, when the gods descend, although some people have been assigned to various temples and nunneries, the offerings to those old things in reality have long been cut off, so this incense ash, which seems quite fresh, undoubtedly became the key clue to judge the source of this invitation letter.

Who would still come into contact with incense at this time, or even inadvertently point the incense ash in the air onto the paper...

The answer might be many, but Long Jing's intuition told him that one person was the most likely, and that was:

Long Wang Li Jingming!

So this invitation letter was not sent by Cheng Shi at all, but by Li Jingming!

He impersonated Cheng Shi certainly not to continue the absurd farce of Sandres. This Long Wang is likely testing himself. As for the content of the test, whether it is the Jester or something else...

Long Jing chuckled and rolled up the invitation letter and put it in his arms.

He accepted this "challenge." That's right, for him, this was not an invitation, but a challenge.

He hadn't forgotten that in that trial in Sandres, Long Wang also lied to him all the way. Although the identities of the two were almost revealed in the end, this "grudge"... if he didn't lie back, how could he be worthy of the second faith he fused?

Long Wang, oh Long Wang, the times are advancing. Do you think only you have two faiths?

No, I have them too, and they are also 【Void】 and 【Existence】, so how can your test of me not become my test of you?

Since everyone is a liar, let's see the truth in the deception.

The agreed time soon arrived. Long Jing looked at himself in the mirror—no, Li Jingming in the mirror—and smiled satisfactorily. Then he put on a black robe and a mask, left enough resurrection backups in the rest area, held a ceremony according to the agreed method, and entered the so-called gathering venue.

That was a void, very normal. After all, the meeting place for all players was in the void, but different hosts dressed up the void in different ways, and this time...

No, Long Wang buried everyone he killed here?

Otherwise, where did so many tombstones come from!?

Is this place too hellish?

It was indeed hellish, because what caught Long Jing's eyes was a vast group of tombstones, countless tombstones paved the entire space, flickering with sporadic phosphorus fire in the endless darkness, looking creepy.

In the center of this group of tombstones, there was a circular open space with a stone chandelier hanging on it. The dim yellow light reflected a person's figure. This person was dressed exactly the same as Long Jing, wearing a mask and a black robe, sitting straight on a tombstone in the front row. Hearing the sound, he slowly turned his head to look at him.

For a moment, Long Jing's scalp felt slightly numb, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

But he hadn't seen more hellish scenes, so the acrobat soon regained his composure and cautiously probed toward the center of the tomb group.

The figure in the distance became clearer as he approached. The other party's body was completely covered, and it was impossible to tell who it was, but Long Jing had already thought of a way to test him in his heart.

Since this gathering was invited by Long Wang, if he greeted him and said "Li Jingming is here by invitation," how would you respond?

Thinking of this, Long Jing started to smile in his heart.
