The starlight was still dim, but the spirals were still mysteriously spinning.
Cheng Shi originally didn't want to look into that pair of eyes, but he couldn't help looking, and this one look revealed a problem.
The Fun God's eyes weren't like this. His eyes were painted with shining starlight, like a host of stars rising together, bright and dazzling. But now, those starlights were all extinguished. This was a characteristic only Outer Gods had; it shouldn't appear in the eyes of [Deceit]!
Could it be that He really is an Outer God!?
At that mont, Cheng Shi was indeed scared by himself. His body suddenly trembled, once again recalling that despair-inducing False Curtain Call.
Sensing the fluctuations in His follower's state of mind, the corners of [Deceit]'s eyes tilted slightly up, as He snickered and said:
"It seems that change left an indelible shadow in your heart."
"...?"
It would have been fine if this wasn't ntioned, but as the instigator, how dare you say these things in front of the victim, and even laugh!
Do you have a heart!?
Oh, I forgot, you don't, because you simply aren't human!
Cheng Shi grew angry. He gnashed his teeth and looked at that pair of starry eyes that were smiling playfully as usual, saying word by word: "Is it funny?"
[Deceit] nodded, not feeling there was any problem with this:
"The appearance and outer garnt of tragedy is often cody, and cody is of course funny.
However, no matter how funny a story is, it is not as funny as the people in the story. It is mainly because the clown is comical, so the script he performs is also quite interesting."
Hearing these words, Cheng Shi was so angry he wanted to curse people. Unfortunately, the other party wasn't human and couldn't be targeted, so he could only clench his fists tight and squeeze out a few words from between his gritted teeth:
"Since you like that story so much, why not make it real?
Is it because reality is funnier than the change?"
"..."
[Deceit] fell silent. The mysteriously spinning spirals spun slower and slower, and the high-tilted corners of the eyes gradually smoothed out. He gazed down at His follower and sighed faintly:
"Of course the story of the change is more interesting; reality is extrely boring.
It's a pity that the change was [Fate]'s choice. I hate [Fate], and there is no reason to let Him have His way.
Moreover, I originally don't like to laugh, so naturally I chose the more boring reality."
You don't like to laugh?
Listen to these words, can you even hold back from laughing yourself?
Cheng Shi was truly angered to the point of laughing. Other people were helpless with a rebellious child; why did he end up with a rebellious 'parent'?
But speaking of [Fate]...
Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you hide [Fate]?"
The spirals in [Deceit]'s eyes paused, and the look in the eyes looking at Cheng Shi instantly changed. He looked as if He was smiling yet not smiling, saying:
"Yo, it's only been a few days since you saw Him, and you miss Him this much?
Then if I told you that there will never be a day when you two et again, won't you shed little pearls?"
"???"
Although being spoken to so sarcastically was very infuriating, what did the Fun God an by 'never a day when you two et again' in His words?
Cheng Shi instinctively felt sothing was wrong. His brows sank tightly, and he asked again, "Where is [Fate]?"
[Deceit] spoke evasively of other things:
"This is my Audience eting. I advise a certain clown to speak and act cautiously. Grandly discussing [Fate] in front of
is very likely to incur the sin of blaspheming a god.
Although He is my only twin god in [Void], sharing the sa path doesn't an having a similar stance.
He and I are currently enemies. Oh no, foes. If you provoke
again with His divine na, do you believe that even if I lock you up, He won't be able to save you?"
"I don't believe it."
Cheng Shi sneered, breaking the pot because it was already cracked.
After getting through the initial apprehension, nervousness, and conflicted feelings, Cheng Shi finally recovered a trace of composure. Amidst his bewildernt of seeking an audience with [Deceit], he recalled his identity as the fixed destiny, and even straightened his back a bit.
No matter what the Fun God wanted to do, in short, He wasn't preparing to destroy the world, nor could He cast aside the fixed destiny to complete His plan. So right now, his identity was the 'highest in the Universe'!
Since it was like this, what the hell was there to fear Him for!
For a ti, Cheng Shi was extrely tough. He pointed at his own chest and said 'arrogantly':
"Lock
up, lock
up right now.
Whoever doesn't lock
up is a clown."
"?"
The corners of [Deceit]'s eyes that had just pulled up flattened out again. He cast a sidelong glance at His follower and sneered again:
"I've seen quite a few clowns fighting to break out of prison, but a clown fighting to be a prisoner, you really are the first.
No wonder you are the fixed destiny.
Ha, don't rush, I will lock you up eventually. But not now, because the current clown hasn't yet been squeezed dry of the fun on him."
"Didn't you say you don't like to laugh? What do you still want fun for?" Cheng Shi's tone was full of sarcasm, just like his Benefactor.
But [Deceit] didn't care at all:
"A god's life is too bitter and needs adjustnt. You are not a god, so naturally you wouldn't understand.
Only when you truly beco a deity will you need fun like ."
"..."
Every word was a sharp verbal sparring.
Cheng Shi could hear that every one of the Fun God's words seed to have profound aning, but he just couldn't figure out exactly what these profound anings represented.
He felt that the Fun God descending here was obviously to say sothing to him. The problem was that the other party simply refused to speak clearly, insisting on playing the riddler routine just like [Fate]. Exactly who in this world likes riddlers!?
It could be seen that there was a reason [Fate] was annoying to people.
Cheng Shi felt upset and frustrated listening to this. He didn't want every sentence to be deflected by [Deceit] with Tai Chi, nor did he want every question to go completely unanswered. But the other party refused to say this, and refused to say that. He could only persuade himself that it was the Fun God fearing that His will would pollute him, thereby causing the fixed destiny to deviate and no longer be the fixed destiny.
Besides this, he couldn't think of any other way to excuse the Fun God...
No matter what, the Fear Faction was definitely walking on the path of saving the world. Perhaps the world-saving calculated by the deities, the world-saving speculated by Wei Mu, and the world-saving he imagined were three entirely different things, but this didn't hinder Cheng Shi from being able to determine the Fun God's stance.
As long as He was still standing behind him, then his courage to walk towards the road ahead would remain.
However, at this very mont, Cheng Shi also had a knot in his heart.
He needed to untie this knot in order to continue moving forward following [Deceit]'s guidance.
After being silent for a long while, Cheng Shi raised his head again and got straight to the point, asking the confusion in his heart:
"Why did you kill Him?"
[Deceit] blinked, asking in confusion: "Who?"
"Don't play dumb!
Lord Benefactor, You can see what I'm thinking in my heart, and You still wouldn't know who?
Do you insist that I say it out loud?
Fine, then I'll say it. Why did you kill the Clown, why did you kill Cheng Shi, why did you kill the other !?"
With every 'why', his voice was raised a degree, seemingly venting the emotions in his heart. Cheng Shi was very uncomprehending. He learned from Zhang Jizu that the Clown swapped from that world still died. It was that world's [Death] Zhang Jizu who blocked a death for Him.
Now he didn't even know where the other party was, so naturally he also couldn't understand [Deceit]'s attitude.
Since He wanted to preserve this world and push the Clown to save it, why was He so cold-blooded and so cruel to the Clown of that world?
Cheng Shi looked straight into those eyes, determined to get an answer, while [Deceit] snickered, looking at His follower and asked back:
"You feel that killing him was cruelty towards him?"
Cheng Shi frowned slightly, his emotions interrupted. "Is it not?"
[Deceit] shook His head and gave a mocking smile:
"Without deeply experiencing it, one does not know its bitterness.
You are far more cruel than I am.
Sure enough, only soone who is even more ruthless to themselves has the possibility of gaining insight into the true future.
It's a pity that those ones you cannot see.
He didn't die, but his life is worse than death."
