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 391: You can gamble, but what can you win?

Lao Zhang, why do you think the God of Fun wants to protect me?"

It has to be said that this question touched Zhang Jizu's heart. Although he witnessed many lies of Cheng Shi along the way, he still couldn't figure out what his mission was for.

To be honest, before meeting Cheng Shi, he had never thought that there would be someone among the top players who was as stable as him.

To be honest, given Cheng Shi's fear of death, it would be difficult for him to die as long as he doesn't do anything stupid.

But he also realized that Cheng Shi just loved to play tricks. When his gambling nature flared up, the gleam in his eyes seemed to turn into a rope to tie himself to the pirate ship.

But if it were just this, [Fraud] didn't seem to need to use his benefactor's mouth to order him around. Even if they had made a deal, how could the true God's instructions be just a deal? There must be some unknown deep meaning hidden in it, but Zhang Jizu really didn't see this deep meaning.

When Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu starting to get confused, he smiled in his heart, because he was waiting for the other party to get confused.

“You can’t figure it out, so I said you have a problem understanding.

You know, I'm a believer in Him, and I know Him too well.

[Fraud] is a collection of lies in the universe. There is never any truth in His oracles, let alone asking you to do something through that adult.

If He really did this, then in my opinion, His target must not be me, but... you!"

"Me?" Zhang Jiuzu narrowed his eyes and completely closed them into a straight line.

Cheng Shi looked at Gao Ya's face with a strange expression. He felt that what should be closed was not the eyes, but the pair of huge nostrils.

"Yes, that's you.

The thoughts of the true God are hard to guess. Even though I am His believer, I cannot guess what He is thinking. But I feel that He seems to have taken a liking to you.

It's still the same old topic. You know that they are promoting the integration of faiths, and you have also guessed that [Fraud] and [Death] are closely related.

That lord once intended to favor me, but I didn't know what was good for me at the time. I split out a troublesome secondary personality and got the dice of fate, so I missed this opportunity.

But how could their efforts to integrate their faiths be interrupted? So, think about it, you...

Could this be the candidate?"

Zhang Jiuzu frowned, feeling that there was something else behind Cheng's words.

It turns out that the offer you threw away was inherited by me, right?

But it is undeniable that what Cheng Shi said... does make some sense.

He himself also has such speculation.

But the problem is, Zhang Jizu feels that he has no talent for fraud, so why did He choose him?

Cheng Shi also noticed Zhang Jizu's doubts. He thought about it for a moment and then...filled in the logical loophole.

"Because you don't lie."

"?"

"Ha, do you think it's absurd?

It's right to be absurd. If it's not absurd, it wouldn't be the God of Fun.

Think about it, what will everyone think of you when they know that your second belief embraces fraud?

When facing you, when thinking about your speech, how will they react?

Even if you are telling the truth, under the aura of [fraud], your teammates and opponents will probably think about what you said three times carefully.

Lies can deceive people, but so can the truth. Who would have thought that a gravekeeper who doesn't lie would lead everyone into the ditch...oh no, into the cemetery?

Ha, I guess this is His real purpose!

Sorry, Lao Zhang, this may be a little hurtful, but I think that He is attracted not by you as a person, but by the fun that comes from your [fraud] side! "

"Fun..."

This explanation is too outrageous, too nonsensical, and too inappropriate.

But Zhang Jiuzu had a vague feeling that this seemed... to make sense?

He carefully digested Cheng Shi's words, then narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Go on, I'm listening. Why do you say my mission is not yet completed?"

Cheng Shi said to himself that he was getting excited, and he was "boasting and commanding" with a gleam in his eyes:

"When you look at the trials God has given you with this perspective, you know that you have not fulfilled His commission.

Because you didn’t save me!”

This seemed to be nonsense, but Zhang Jizu knew that Cheng Shi would never waste time now, so he tried to understand what Cheng Shi said from the perspective of "fun" and "absurdity", but after a few seconds his eyes suddenly opened for a moment.

He suddenly realized that the requirements of [Fraud] should not be understood according to common sense, but should be understood as follows...

Pick the right words!

Cheng Shi knew he had figured it out when he saw his expression, so he laughed and said:

"Got it?

The key to the mission He asked you to protect me is not "me" but "protect"!

Since I have never been in danger, how can you protect me?

So, He probably anticipated this scene a long time ago, and His attitude is... let you bet with me!

In this game where life is at stake, save me!

Think about it, Lao Zhang, in these few days of trials, you have not yet achieved the word "protection".

Although the surrogate doll was used to protect me, it was used on Mo Shu. "

"......"

“He does have a crush on you, well, you can think of it that way, but He still gives you some tests, and this trial is at least one of them.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t lie, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t lie often. As long as you can solve the questions He wrote, it means that you have the desire to get closer to Him.

So, Lao Zhang, it is not up to me to decide whether to gamble or not. This is a choice He gives you.

Embrace [fraud], or find something else.

Now, it’s your turn to make your choice.”

"......"
