Foolish Game of the Gods

I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

Chapter 1367 The Audience Meeting - A Foolish Joke

Longjing is never one to suffer losses.

No matter how many times he was forced to play the clown in the clown's world, outside of it, he was always the top swindler, second only to Zhen Xin.

When the blame was suddenly shifted onto his head, he was already preparing to retaliate with his deception, but he was just waiting for the right opportunity.

Coincidentally, the opportunity came not long after.

As the beast tamer and the master of trickery clashed, someone in the arena suddenly uttered a question:

"Do you think the actual audience has already begun?"

"What makes you say that?" The naked man at the very top put his mask back on and asked with great interest.

"Everyone knows what kind of person the God of Fun is. Given His fondness for playing tricks on people, I think... maybe He is hiding behind the scenes watching everything that is happening here."

I'm not talking about the kind of all-seeing, all-knowing gaze of a deity, but rather that He is right here, in a place we can't see, 'enjoying' this impromptu performance!

And it's highly likely that by the time He sees your pathetic state, His eyes will be practically smirking.

As they spoke, the swindlers looked up and began to look around.

Seeing several gazes sweep across the invisible curtain, Cheng Shi, hiding behind it, instantly wiped the corners of his eyes and stopped giggling.

Very perceptive, but unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

The God of Laughter is not here; hiding behind the curtain to watch the show is an unexpected master of deception.

Cheng Shi shook his head and chuckled, but the next second, his smile froze on his face.

Because he suddenly saw the foolish act appear in the audience hall in front of the transparent curtain!

That's right, it's a hoax!

The tall, thin, bamboo-like "Fraud" envoy made a dazzling entrance, standing on the masquerade platform belonging to Cheng Shi, looking up at the six swindlers above, and clapping rhythmically.

"Clap clap clap—"

“Excellent! Your intuition is very sharp. Although it took you a while to come up with this, you did it eventually.”

Unfortunately, the direction was wrong.

The audience was never a gathering to see the true God. The gods, sitting high on their thrones, would not summon a group of mortals because of the rules of a small game.

They can summon their believers whenever they wish, so this audience before you is merely a test to examine your understanding and devotion to the faith.

And the examiner for this selection process is none other than myself.

Don't be so surprised. Many of you know of my existence. Even if you haven't heard of me, it doesn't matter. From this day forward, His followers will also sing the praises of my divine name.

My name is Yu Xi!

He is a god of nothingness, a messenger of deception, the last step you must take to draw near to Him.

The audience with the emperor has officially begun.

With that, Master Yu Xi snapped his fingers and leaped from the last platform, landing directly on the masquerade platform that originally belonged to Zhen Xin. He then kicked the naked, masked man standing at the edge of the platform off the platform. With his back to everyone, he bowed slightly to the empty void and said with a smile:

"Praise be to our Lord, your followers have come to share your burdens!"

This scene was incredibly shocking to both the con artists present and Cheng Shi behind the invisible curtain.

As luck would have it, the direction in which the foolish man bowed was exactly facing Cheng Shi, without the slightest deviation. This made Cheng Shi wonder if Long Jing had guessed something or seen through something.

That's right, the real foolish act is hidden behind the scenes, and the foolish act on stage must be performed by someone else, and that performer is Longjing.

This wasn't the first time he'd played the fool, but this time he had more room to maneuver.

For the con artists present, perhaps no one was unaware of the infamous Foolish Prank.

In the first half of the [Faith Game], Foolish was indeed not well-known, but in the second half, especially in recent months, any player who wants to get close to [Fraud] will probably not ignore Foolish, the only messenger of [Fraud].

It's no longer important where the name "Fool's Play" originated; what matters is that countless members of the historical school are vouching for the authenticity of the play, and the most prominent charlatans seem to have had some connection with this so-called deity.

Although the few people present had never witnessed a fool's play in person and did not know what it looked like, the person in front of them...

Tall stature, slender limbs, and a pure white mask—the overall image is slightly eerie and full of deception, perfectly matching their fantasies about fooling around.

However, a liar is still a liar. The people standing here are the most skilled liars in this game. Can you really make them believe that this is just a hoax based on an appearance alone?

No, absolutely not.

The last person suspected, Zhen Xin, has already been dismissed as a fraud.

Therefore, in the eyes of scammers, if you only have one image, you can't pull off a fool's trick.

But the brilliance of Longjing's performance lies here: his appearance was not just a perfunctory self-introduction. During the introduction, he skillfully demonstrated his strength by kicking the naked masked man off the first platform!

It's important to know that the person who was kicked off was no ordinary passerby; he was the fourth-ranked conman, an extremely agile victim, and a master assassin who had reached the pinnacle of both deception and physical prowess!

With his skills, if he wanted to dodge, even if the third-ranked acrobat came, he might not be able to kick him down with one kick.

But Yu Xi did just that, making a seemingly effortless kick with ease.

This is a god!

The crowd could tell from the solemn expression on the naked, masked man's face that this charade was probably not real, and the once lively scene suddenly fell silent again.
