Just when Zhang Jizu finished carving the last stroke on the stele and was about to erect the tombstone, his vision suddenly went dark without warning.

But he did not panic. He just closed his squinting eyes, and when consciousness returned, he quietly opened them a crack.

Of course this was just his feeling, because his entire body had turned into a pale skull.

As he expected, when his vision returned to normal, he saw the familiar fishbone stairs under his feet, the towering bone seat above the stairs, and the huge skull sitting on the bone seat.

【die】!

My benefactor summoned me again.

"Praise the great God of Death." Zhang Jizu greeted devoutly.

At this moment, he had too many doubts in his mind, so many that he wanted to ask immediately whether this trial was really a trial bestowed upon him by [Fraud] as Cheng Shi said, but before he could open his mouth, the adult interrupted him.

His tone seemed calmer than before, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

“You did, very well.

My transaction with [Fraud] has been completed.

As for you, what you think...

Although I am not on good terms with [fraud], I have to admit:

[Nothingness] is far more suitable for this era than [life].

Faith will eventually lead to unification.

So, if you want to embark on the path of [fraud]...

I have no objection.

But you have to remember:

In His way, there is no truth in the world, past, or future."

As it spoke, a green flame flashed in the eyes of the huge skull, and a small skull burst out from the torrent of skulls beside the fishbone stairs and rolled in front of Zhang Jizu.

Zhang Jizu was still pondering the meaning of his benefactor's words when he heard the elder continue to say:

"Life is not nothingness.

But [nothingness] can accommodate [life].

If you really want to get closer to [nothingness].

Use it to pray to Him.

I think, [fraud], no, refuse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jizu felt the ground shaking, and suddenly a huge torrent of bones rose up in front of him, carrying the entire Fishbone Hall and rushing before his eyes.

He floated in the void in a daze, and soon fell down and returned to reality.

He put down the tombstone in his hand, took out the small skull given by the benefactor and looked at it carefully.

This skull clearly had a deceptive tone to it, as its front face had no eye sockets or nose holes, and it didn't even have any teeth. It was just a pale bone surface, and above it were two long and thin slits for the eyes, like a deceptive mask.

But after looking at it carefully for a while, Zhang Jizu felt that this bone face looked so much like... himself?

The corners of the eyes of ordinary masks are all turned up. This is because [Fraud] loves fun the most, so the masks always have a smile on them.

But the one in my hand has flat corners of eyes, which looks like elongated squinting eyes...

So this is the token that [Fraud] left with that adult?

Could it be that Cheng Shi was right? That trial was aimed at me?

But, am I being laughed at?

Zhang Jizu's mood suddenly became strange. He was silent, connecting all the details of this trial and sorting out his thoughts over and over again.

It was not until he sorted out all his beliefs that he realized he really didn't have any other good choices.

[Life] is all wild, [destruction] ends with self-destruction;

[Civilization] is conservative and rigid, [Chaos] everyone is crazy.

[Existence] is appropriate, but they don't seem to be interested in themselves.

On the contrary, [Nothingness] inexplicably gave me a chance to choose...

[Destiny] is not something that ordinary people can understand. Thinking in this way, it seems that only [fraud] is left.

Zhang Jizu stroked the skull in his hand, pondered for a moment, and made a decision.

He decided to add another layer of protective color to himself. If nothing else, at least it would prevent him from being left too far behind by others on the road of faith integration.

So he whispered to the skull: "I can't tell..."

Before he could finish his words, the man disappeared again.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the void. Looking at the endless darkness under his feet, Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes tightly.

And just as he squinted his eyes, a pair of bright and gorgeous starry eyes opened in front of him.

The stars sparkled like a melody, and the spirals spun like an accompaniment. As soon as his eyes opened, the entire void seemed to be filled with his emotions and became cheerful.

This was the first time that Zhang Jizu met Fraud. Even though he had heard about Fraud's appearance from some people, he was still a little nervous when he stood in front of a pair of starry eyes.

To be on the safe side, he offered his praise first.

"Praise the great god of fraud."

It's still the same thing, except the name of the god of death has been replaced by fraud.

The corners of his eyes that were upturned turned up even more after hearing these words. He stared at the narrow eyes in front of him and said with a smile:

"As expected of an old man, his dull appearance is exactly like his."

"......"

Just this one sentence made Zhang Jizu confused.

To be honest, he had heard some...rumors about the God of Fun, but he never expected that those rumors were actually true!
