I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
Zhang Jizu didn't feel embarrassed, and neither did anyone else.
In other words, when everyone saw that this clown gathering place was filled with the tombstones of the gods, they had more or less guessed some of the thoughts of the Chosen God of Death.
For believers of Death, dedicating one's life to Him is piety, and Zhang Jizu's nightmare shadow is so pious. It must be said that he deserves the attention of that adult.
But when Cheng Shi thought about how the pious Lao Zhang only answered his question about why he was alive with "alive", he understood a truth that went straight to the essence of the universe: extreme piety is blasphemy.
As expected, I was still too pious.
Perhaps because of the familiarity brought by frequent exchanges, just when Zhang Jizu was about to look away, Li Jingming held him down, smiled and shook his head:
"It's impossible for everyone to just look in the mirror and leave. Although this nightmare image belongs to everyone, it also incorporates some of the mirror's own cognition and memory. I can confirm Yuxi's identity because of this..."
"?"
No buddy, I didn’t even know who Yuxi was. Did the mirror confirm it for me?
It seems that this mirror can also lie. Tsk, why does it smell like "fraud"?
But Cheng Shi would definitely not expose his lies, so he continued to listen.
“…These memories are all intelligence.
I have no objection that the blessing of [Death] is enough to give you immunity from information exchange with the Harlequin Society, but... since you are exempted, your Nightmare must have something to say, right?"
Zhang Jizu stared at his nightmare line without moving, his eyes slightly narrowed: "I have the right to look away at any time, so you'd better ask questions carefully."
Is this consent?
Cheng Shi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly became malicious. He asked a question before the Dragon King could open his mouth: "Since you just want to survive, why do you have to bury everyone?"
However, the nightmare in the mirror just glanced at him, sneered, and did not respond. Instead, Zhang himself spoke very calmly:
"The so-called 'you die and I live' means that you all die, which in disguise means that I live longer.
I think it is still a kind of piety to exchange my life for my devotion to adults. "
"?"
It is somewhat reasonable, but why does it also smell like fraud?
The meeting of clowns is still too [fraudulent].
Cheng Shi rolled his eyes. The Dragon King ignored Cheng Shi's joke. He looked at the nightmare in the mirror with a serious expression and asked a strange question.
"Why did you go there? Is this a conspiracy of [Depravity] or a trick of [Fraud]?"
Normally, Li Jingming did not dare to ask this question, because he was afraid that his recklessness would attract the attention of other gods, especially [Poor].
But now, since the gods' sight and hearing were blocked here, he made no secret of his curiosity about the secrets hidden in this mirror.
But this sentence sounds too strange to other people's ears. What conspiracy or trick?
Isn't this a creation of [Memory]? Even if it looks like it has been contaminated by [Depravity], what does it have to do with [Fraud]?
The nightmare in the mirror narrowed its eyes and glanced at Li Jingming, then smiled sinisterly:
"How about you let me out, I'll bury them, and then I'll tell you?
Or another way, you come in, I bury you, and then carve the things you want to know on your tombstone to comfort your curiosity. "
"......"
It was scary, but such harsh words had no threat to the clowns. Old Zhang narrowed his eyes and smiled to comfort the Dragon King, "Don't pay attention to him. It's not his turn."
"?"
May I ask what you mean by “wheel”?
Are you possessed by Cheng Shi?
Is the Fate Weaver so contagious?
The Dragon King looked at Zhang Jizu with a strange expression, and Zhang Jizu silently looked away.
It would be a waste of time to ask further questions. This Nightmare only knows how to bury people and probably won't say anything useful.
There were still two people left on the scene, and Cheng Shi naturally would not rush to go, so the acrobats went on stage.
Long Jing stepped sideways to the mirror, allowing Bi Meng Wo Yan to outline a "new" self. As soon as the nightmare version of President Gong appeared, he used exaggerated movements and a strange smile to invite everyone:
"I know what you are looking for. Let me out and I will take you there. How about that?"
"......"
The desire to perform is still full, which shows that no matter which Longjing tea it is, it is the same when it comes to wanting to be in the spotlight.
But it is obvious that Longjing in real life is more "reserved". At least after seeing himself being so straightforward, he also wanted to turn around and leave.
Fortunately, Cheng Shi calmed him down immediately, and smiled as he looked at Longjing in the mirror and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. This is a heart-to-heart talk, isn't it?" President Gong in the mirror bowed gracefully to Cheng Shi, but the crazy covetousness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Cheng Shi nodded in approval: "Indeed, I unilaterally agreed, but I still need to confirm with you, will you really take us to find [Him], I mean..."
【Yuanchu】!
I dare not say these two words, but I still have the courage to lip-sync them.
But when Cheng Shi "said" these two words, the nightmare shadow in the mirror trembled all over, and all the smiles on his face froze.
It glared at Cheng Shi viciously, then its eyes turned into fear, and then it exploded into black mist with a "bang" and dissipated on the mirror.
My nightmare seems to be...down.
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. Cheng Shi scratched his head and looked at the Dragon King, and asked awkwardly: "Has this situation ever happened before?"
Li Jingming's face turned dark. He brought out the mirror to bring you closer to the secret, not to let you play with the nightmare. If the road to the [Memory] collection hall is blocked, who can you complain to?
He shook his head grimly, walked closer to the mirror and began to search it carefully.
Seeing that the mirror didn't react for a while, Zhen Xin snorted and said to Cheng Shi meaningfully:
"That's a good method, but I'm curious, how did you know that this can dispel the nightmare?"
"???"
I know shit.
The corners of Cheng Shi's mouth twitched slightly, thinking who knew this thing was so easy to tease, but it was okay, maybe I could avoid it this way.
Having shared so many secrets, there's no need to reveal more of your true feelings, right?
But Nightmare's reaction is still worth pondering. After all, it is also another Longjing. Its fear of [Origin] is actually a reflection of Longjing's inner fear. In this way, the acrobat can appear here despite his fear, which really makes him worthy of the salvation of Longjing in another world.
Regardless of the purpose, being able to overcome the fear in one's heart is something worthy of praise.
So it can be said that President Gong does have his merits.
