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 ...
“Call them all in; the clowns probably need to have another meeting.”
Cheng Shi sighed.
If Le Zishen chose to "confront" him in this way, then Cheng Shi would naturally have to confront the clown in the same way.
To gain the help of the clowns, he could no longer hide anything from them. Besides, the clowns had worked so hard to save him in the final act of the era, so he had to acknowledge their kindness.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xin knew that something big was about to happen again. Last time, the Fate Weaver unveiled the curtain of the real universe for them, so what shocking secrets would he bring this time?
She nodded and quickly went to gather all the clowns. The special trial had just ended, and everyone was easy to contact, except for... Zhang Jizu.
When the clowns arrived one after another, but the tomb keeper was missing, Cheng Shi, who was standing in front of the "Death" tomb, did not wait, but started today's meeting directly.
Everyone was stunned, and the Dragon King even raised an eyebrow at the tombstone, seemingly lost in thought, and said:
"The gravedigger can't get away?"
Cheng Shi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm going to take care of some life-saving matters, but don't worry, I'll come back safely."
Everyone present was shrewd. Although Cheng Shi seemed calm and collected, the aloofness in his eyes, which prevented him from looking directly at the crowd, told them that Zhang Jizu's absence was not simple.
Considering Cheng Shi's amnesia and serious attitude towards the trial just now, Zhen Xin had a vague guess in her mind.
The little incident before the meeting quickly passed, and Cheng Shi wasted no more time. He went straight to the point and shared his recent despair with everyone.
He said:
"Just now, the world took a wrong turn."
As that false era, which I temporarily call 'deduction,' came to an end, the world was destroyed.
You didn't realize it because a deity erased your memories.
This isn't the first time your memories have been erased. There was a world reset before, which none of you remember...
"!?"
Cheng Shi's opening remarks were like a bomb, directly igniting the already turbulent hearts of the clowns.
Everyone looked at Cheng Shi with bewildered expressions, all wondering at the same time: Weaver of Fate, is the world you're talking about the world we're standing on?
Could this be some kind of dream world?
Otherwise, how could it be so different from our understanding?
When a person's so-called "facts" differ from everyone else's perceptions, can it still be called a fact?
Obviously not.
But it depends on the person.
No one would believe this if you said it outside; people would just think they'd run into another Meng Youfang with a bizarre thought process.
But this is a clown's world, a place where the impossible can become possible, especially since the one who said these words was the Weaver of Fates.
Everyone was stunned. They stared wide-eyed, eagerly awaiting Teacher Cheng's revelation.
Cheng Xiaoshi's Classroom is now open!
Cheng Shi continued:
"The situation is very complicated this time."
To be honest, seeing your reactions like this makes me even more certain that none of you here remember what happened before. No, perhaps one of you does remember, but he…”
Cheng Shi glanced sideways at the [Death] tombstone, his expression complex.
Since Lao Zhang has exchanged worlds with his other self, it means that everything in this world, whether it's deduction or reset, will no longer affect him.
He must remember everything; it was at least the last glimpse of the world before its destruction.
Unfortunately, he's not here right now.
Cheng Shi paused for a moment and then said:
"Never mind, I won't talk about him since he's not here."
During the last world reset, I and others verified each other's memories and were absolutely certain that the experience had actually happened.
But this time, so far, it's still just my own 'delusion'...
Although I confirmed this with the fragments of the mask, they share my perspective and still cannot draw a conclusion.
So what exactly happened in that previous trial may need to be verified with them before we can be sure, but I can't wait any longer. I need to make a backup of these memories while they are still fresh in my mind.
You all help me think about what they really wanted to express in this final performance.
But whatever it may be, one thing is certain: our world is teetering on the brink of collapse...
The topic suddenly turned heavy, casting a shadow over the hearts of every clown.
Perhaps Cheng Shi, having faced despair head-on, has developed a certain tolerance for a hopeless future, but the clowns have forgotten everything. They simply don't understand why the world is teetering on the brink of collapse when the game continues and the universe is still being explored.
"I know that during the first Clown Gathering, you all doubted my identity. A player shouldn't know so many secrets, especially since I know more than some gods."
First of all, I need to apologize to everyone; I lied to you all.
These secrets weren't taught to me by a joke; I knew them myself.
"!!!"
Everyone was stunned, but what followed was even more terrifying.
"Because I am a fool!" Cheng Shi sighed, glancing casually at Longjing.
"???"
That one glance broke Chairman Gong's guard.
No, buddy!?
Although the world returned to normal after the trial, causing President Gong to forget his memory of breaking his defenses, Yu Xi thoughtfully returned that memory to him. Whether on the wrong path or the right one, there are always clowns breaking their defenses and moving forward.
And there's more than one.
From the moment Cheng Shi uttered the name "Yu Xi," the doctor silently hid in the shadows beneath the tombstone.
