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 ...
Nangong's confusion was not fake.
Cheng Shi glanced at her casually and even felt that the other person's head was smoking.
The CPU is burnt, little girl?
He chuckled, walked around the motionless Nangong, and picked up the [Gift of Wounds] in the distance.
The unknown is terrifying. When Dizel learned that the other party was a real [Prosperity] hunter, he had lost all the courage to resist.
As the soul of a messenger, it should not have been so submissive, but the situation faced by Dizel was too complicated. It almost lost all its protection because of its own actions, and there was no one behind it to endorse it.
Especially when it realized that [Foolish Play], who was also a messenger, was even qualified to share the authority of [Prosperity], it accepted its fate, completely accepted its fate.
Cheng Shi didn't expect that the process of taming the dagger would be so smooth. He quickly used his tongue of lies to wrap up the [Gift of Wounds] and put it into the space, then turned around to deal with the aftermath in front of him.
But just when he wanted to "wake up" the young pastor in front of him, Nangong seemed to come back to her senses. She looked at Cheng Shi with a complicated expression, opened her mouth for a long time but didn't say a word. In the end, she just pursed her lips and said with a complicated expression:
"Feel sorry......"
Cheng Shi blinked: "What is there to be sorry about?"
Nangong did not answer Cheng Shi's question, but stretched out his hand, looked at the fresh wound on his wrist, then looked at the dagger in his hand that had long disappeared, and the contract in the void that no longer had any connection, and muttered to himself in disbelief:
"Really...untied?"
"Yes, I really solved it." Cheng Shi smiled. He looked at the confused and bewildered little pastor in front of him, thought for a moment, and took out another bottle of Coke.
When Nangong saw this scene, he shuddered all over and instinctively took a step back.
Cheng Shi’s prank ended here. He chuckled twice and took out another bottle.
"Don't be afraid, this time it's real.
Tell me, Nangong, I guess you must have experienced a lot of stories. Today is windy and snowy, it is just right for hiding in the house, drinking Coke and listening to stories. "
As he spoke, Cheng Shi stuffed the Coke into Nangong's hand, then sat down cross-legged, relaxed like an old friend reminiscing about the past, and gulped down the Coke in his hand.
He really didn't lie, the Coke this time was real.
But Nangong didn't dare to believe it.
She looked at the Coke in her hand with a strange expression, but did not open it. Instead, she pursed her lips and knelt down, looking in the direction of the battlefield where Cheng Shi and [Gift of Wounds] had just been, and her eyes became dazed.
"You may be wondering why this dagger, coveted by countless assassins, is in my hand?
Haha, it’s actually quite incredible to say, I got it a long time ago, even earlier than many assassins knew about it.
Arriving early for my first special trial...
It happened right here, in the city of Kannar in Rosna!"
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect the beginning of the story to be so outrageous. So, a dagger of this level was picked up by someone in the first week?
ah?
The story about me being a new priest and picking up an artifact at the beginning, right?
However, why does this script seem a bit familiar?
Even though he wanted to complain, Cheng Shi didn't say anything and continued to listen silently. He could see that this [corrupt] pastor was very eager to share at the moment.
“That was a trial of [Decay], which is normal, isn’t it? Our first special trial was given by the Lord.
Our mission is to find a not-so-pious [corrupted] believer in the city of Kannar and make him pious again.
That trial was very chaotic. Since it was the first special trial, the six players did not trust each other. Some wanted to lead the team, some were unwilling to cooperate, and some were clamoring for killing. I was very scared, so I slipped away when they were not paying attention.
At that time, I just wanted to find a place to hide until the trial was over.
But there is a very savvy player among us. I don’t know why he is so familiar with this god’s game after playing it for a week, and even has all kinds of weird ideas about the current game scenes.
He is a [Foolish] believer, but he is very smart, and it was he who found the [Gift of Wounds] in my hand... in your hand..."
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows: "You mean, the first person who discovered it wasn't you?"
Nangong pursed his lips and nodded:
“Yes, it’s not me.
He found the dagger and regarded it as a treasure, even threatening to use it to restart the entire Rosner faith.
Of course, I learned all this later at the conscription square in Kannar, because he was just like the black-robed man I met today, standing in the center of the square, using a dagger to re-condense the piety of the Rossna Empire. "
"!!!" Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and his brows furrowed, "You mean... you witnessed this historical scene? No... history has long been tampered with?"
“Yes, history has been distorted.
There was also a singer of memory in that trial, just like my teammate today, who was impressed by the feat of the foolish teammate and rewrote what he saw into history. "
"......"
Cheng Shi was speechless. So, the history they knew now, the past they understood, and even the treasure map that Poison used to find the horse had already been tampered with!
Everything we experience today is nothing but a replay of the last tampering. The truth of history has long been covered up by graffiti, and the current smearing is nothing but a new layer of graffiti with inverted colors painted on top of the graffiti.
As Cheng Shi was surprised, Nangong continued his story.
“But it’s not over yet…
The [Foolish] player was very crazy. He believed that letting Rosner return to [Decay] was not the end. Saving the city of Kannar from the Destroyer before the end of the trial would be the real perfection.
So he mobilized all the devout people in the city, and they followed him to turn defense into offense and fight their way out of the city."
"......" Cheng Shi blinked and suddenly laughed out loud, "I think I know where you got the dagger."
"......"
Nangong grinned awkwardly but didn't laugh.
"Just as you thought, they died, those teammates who were blinded by the passion of [Foolishness] died on the high wall.
But I didn't know it at that time. I didn't dare to participate in that war and hid in the city. But when I thought about my teammates leading me to win the trial but I didn't help at all, I felt very guilty.
so......"
"So you go up to the wall and try to do your job as a priest, and then you find out they're all dead, and then you suddenly become the body collection team.
And Dizel came to you at that time, right?"
"......" Nangong nodded with a complicated look in his eyes, "You are as smart as my teammate."
"......"
