Foolish Game of the Gods

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 ...

Chapter 254 [Nothingness] Two or Three Things (Part 1)

As soon as he opened his eyes, the entire void began to become filled with weird atmosphere.

"As expected of someone who is someone else's favorite, under the protection of [Fate], you dare to use other people's prayers to blaspheme me."

Just with this one sentence, Cheng Shi instantly broke out in a sweat.

I've been sweating a lot today. If I continue like this, I'll get dehydrated.

But you can't blame me alone for this, my lord. There wasn't a single mask in the starting point of my second chance at life!

What were you doing at that time?

If you use up all your strength here to yin and yang to that time, can I give up my oath, huh?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, how could it be my fault for abandoning my oath?

I can't resist. It's obvious that you sold me out, and I haven't asked you for an explanation yet!

So Cheng Shi raised his head confidently, ready to have a good argument with his former benefactor, but he never expected that the pair of eyes seemed to see through Cheng Shi's inner thoughts, and the moment he raised his head, he changed the subject without leaving a trace:

"Whatever you want to ask, ask now. I just happened to be passing by and can't stay for long."

"......"

"Well... why do you want me to give up my oath?" Cheng Shi gave up the original question and asked.

His eyes flickered twice, and he sneered:

"You picked up His dice yourself, and you dare to talk about it in front of me?

Who gave you the courage to blaspheme me?

Is it your new benefactor who you always refer to as a 'bitch'?"

"......"

What a satisfying scolding!

No, if you have something to say, let's just talk about it. Can you please not blaspheme God in every sentence?

Who have I offended?

Now I don’t even blaspheme myself.

Cheng Shi raised his face and said unconvincedly:

"My Lord, let's talk about the facts. When I returned to the starting point of my destiny, were there only dice and no masks?!"

"What did you call me?"

"......" It's bad. I'm used to it and I don't remember to change my words after every sentence.

However, the eyes in the void did not care. Not only that, the entire void even began to come alive, with psychedelic colors quietly rising.

But Cheng Shi, who was extremely nervous, didn't notice this at all. He hesitated for a moment and changed his words in a low voice.

"Former...former benefactor."

The boiling void solidified instantly!

Waves of indescribable pressure rose from all directions. If Cheng Shi had not been able to see that what was in front of him was a fraud, he would have felt like he was back to the starting point of his life when he reached out to touch the mask!

This terrifying pressure is far stronger than it was back then!

His eyes glanced at the process without joy or sadness, and his voice was as cold as the icy wind sweeping across the abyss.

"How do you know there's no mask inside?"

Cheng Shi stiffened his neck and said, "I stretched out my hand three times, and [Fate] almost killed me, but I didn't even touch a mask!"

His eyes turned slightly, becoming playful: "Why must the mask be placed in its original position?"

Huh?

ah?

ah?

ah?

(The emoji is gone, please help me put a picture of a kitten spinning here!)

Could the mask be somewhere else?

Cheng Shi was confused.

No, at that time, you can still put the mask somewhere else! ?

My Lord, please be more careful. What's the difference between what you do and not wearing a mask?

No, there is a difference!

The difference is that it made me realize that I am a clown, and a clown who has lost his mask!

"So... you still left the mask at the starting point of your destiny, but I didn't find it, did you?"

At this point, Cheng Shi was "completely disappointed" and even began to question himself:

Why not look for a little longer at the starting point of your destiny?

Why do we have to desecrate [fate] again and again and oppress our own time for choice?

Am I really not someone who belongs to [Fraud] but to [Fate]?

Could it be that I am really not a born liar, otherwise why didn’t I find, or even sense, the mask that should belong to me?

He was stunned, and felt like a clown with no reason, questioning the One who was so high and mighty in a ridiculous way!

If this is not blasphemy, what is?

He tried to open his mouth several times, wanting to ask where the mask was placed, but he closed his mouth in shame.

But at this moment, the spiral in his eyes suddenly started to spin rapidly again, and he smiled, happily.

"Hee~

I certainly didn’t.”

"......"

Cheng Shi's mind went blank for a moment as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at the rapidly flashing eyes in front of him in disbelief, and finally realized one thing again, that is:

Cheng Shi clown!

He was right, Cheng Shi was indeed a clown!

but……

What a coincidence, my fucking name is Cheng Shi!!!
