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 ...
The Dragon King had no choice but to share the clown's surface memory that he had witnessed with Cheng Shi.
However, most of these were trivial matters from the past, and there were no thought-provoking memories. What he heard also matched the illusions that Cheng Shi had seen on the surface of the maze and the past of everyone he knew.
After hearing the end, Cheng Shi curled his lips in disinterest.
Who could have thought that the greatest gain from this nightmare was actually watching the Dragon King have fun.
It's rare that this [Memory] believer also has his moments of failure.
"Didn't you go to the seventh road?"
"A seventh way?" Li Jingming paused on the other end of the line and asked, "Where is the seventh way?"
“!??”
The Dragon King didn't see the seventh path!?
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and his expression stiffened slightly.
No wonder!
I was wondering why there was a road leading to [nothingness] in the creation of [existence] that is filled with memories. It turns out that this is really a backdoor opened for me by the God of Fun!
But why can He even influence the existence of creation?
[Memory] His house was robbed? Could He not even know that He had lost His authority?
[Fraud] can't be that strong, otherwise what is He waiting for? Why hasn't He unified the world yet?
At this moment, Cheng Shi remembered what Wei Mu had said to his benefactor [Foolish]: Since you are so wise, why can you let the other fifteen gods be on an equal footing with you?
At this moment, it is just right to replace the word "wisdom" here with "powerful".
Seeing that the other side was silent for a long time, Li Jingming spoke again in confusion:
"Cheng Shi, the seventh path you found was the reason you escaped directly?"
Cheng Shi collected his thoughts, without panicking, and made up a story:
"Yes, I came out along the seventh road.
I never thought that the road would lead directly to the void outside the mirror."
Li Jingming frowned, and he carefully recalled the layout of the maze in the mirror, confirming that he had not missed any path. He then asked with increasing curiosity, "Where is the seventh path?"
Cheng Shi smiled teasingly:
"Dragon King, you seem to have become stupid. I think your brain might have been lost in the mirror.
Think about it carefully. You and I entered the same maze. When you can't see the way out, shouldn't you reflect on whether you have overlooked something?
Li Jingming was certainly not stupid. There was no such road in front of him, so he naturally couldn't see it. But when Cheng Shi reminded him of it, he immediately thought of another direction in the maze besides east, south, west and north: up!
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly, "Wall? Did you climb out of the mirror wall of the maze?"
"Exactly!" Cheng Shi raised his lips and followed the other party's train of thought, saying nonsense, "I almost got lost in my memories, and in desperation, I had to give it a try and climb up desperately. Then, in a daze, I found an exit on the wall and jumped into the void.
But when I woke up and tried to recall it, I couldn’t remember which way to go.”
“…”
This was almost like saying that I was lying, but Li Jingming couldn't question it because the power of [Memory] did have this effect.
But the most important thing is that he also lied, so he had no right to expose Cheng Shi's lies.
There was silence on both ends of the phone again. After a long while, Cheng Shi asked curiously:
“Has this kind of situation ever happened before?
If the person who was replaced escapes on their own, will the nightmare shadow be automatically absorbed into the nightmare of the other dream?"
"No, and I can't."
Li Jingming's tone changed, and it was quite intriguing. "Because of my nightmare, the fake Li Jingming who pretended to be me is gone."
"?" Cheng Shi blinked, a little confused. "What do you mean by gone?"
"He left Yunye Temple and even left a letter for me before he left."
"No, wait a minute, you're saying that the Black Dragon King didn't return to the mirror and turned into an independent individual and left your rest area!?"
Black Dragon King...
Li Jingming's eyelids twitched and he hummed.
Cheng Shiren was stunned: "Ah? That mirror..."
"I don't know if it's because of his departure that I no longer have nightmares in the mirror. It seems that the nightmare has lost its effect on me."
“!!!”
Invalid?
No way, then how can I contact the Flame of Hope in the future?
Cheng Shi frowned and asked hurriedly, "Is it ineffective on you alone, or..."
"I don't know because I haven't had time to get anyone else to test it."
Before Li Jingming finished speaking, Cheng Shi said:
“I’ll do it, I’ll test it, you can bury the mirror in the cemetery of the Harlequin Assembly just like the Black Dragon King did, and I’ll get it when I have time.
Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions towards your mirror. I'm just being helpful."
“…”
I think you are addicted to lying.
Li Jingming shook his head and laughed, then agreed:
"Okay, but since this mirror is no longer useful to me, I can 'confiscate' it and make it the common property of the Harlequin, so that you can access his collection at any time.
I tried it, and the Tibetan Museum is still worth visiting.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi said with a shameless face: "What a coincidence, the Clown has just appointed an asset manager, and it is me. Don't worry, I will take good care of this first public property."
"...How come I don't know when the appointment was made?" Li Jingming's eyelids twitched again.
"You already know this, and you're the first one to know it."
