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 ...
There are not many ways left for Cheng Shi, Du Xiguang and Fang Jue to die.
Du Xiguang read Athos's memory and found that he did not follow Wei Guan to clean up the traces of the murder, so he guessed Wei Guan's intention.
But at this time he was trapped in a bad situation and had almost no chance to kill himself, so he could only find another way. He used special means to go back to the past, let his own death replace the death of the ascetic monk, and tamper with his memory!
In this way, cause and effect are misplaced.
Because the ascetic had long since left the trial and his memory was distorted, he disappeared from everyone's mind.
However, Du Xiguang found a loophole and killed himself with "When Fear Comes" in his memory, and died from suicide "When Fear Comes".
However, due to his over-interpretation, Fang Jue missed all the clues. Even the traces left in his original memory were erased. The new timeline threw him directly into the prison of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Cheng Shi realized the final answer even later.
It was after Mocius's blow failed to kill him that he suddenly realized that the answer was that he needed to sacrifice himself in a different way.
It was also at that time that a plan began to form in his mind.
After the death of Mocius, he had a very safe way to win the trial, which was to use the [Moment of Execution] to commit suicide.
But this also has risks, because if there is even a 0.1% probability that the answer is not death, then Cheng Shi will usher in the end of his gaming career in endless regret.
Therefore, Cheng Shi, who was afraid of death, conducted an extremely bold experiment:
He used the alchemical notes taken from Chenosley and Mercury's body to fake the scene of the alchemist's death, and then submitted it as the answer using the "nominal death" defined by the Law Enforcement Bureau.
This is a risky move.
Because this is the trial of [Death]!
Cheng Shi's opportunistic attempt may backfire and turn all this into a performance that blasphemes Him.
As a result, he turned off the runway and crashed to his death, even though he had a chance to land safely.
Fortunately, [Death] approved it.
Even though he gave 0 points.
But at least the benefactor appreciated his performance and thought he had deceived Death.
Cheng Shi won the bet.
The chips won include not only passing the trial, but also a [When Fear Comes] and a [Moment of Execution]!
He brought two semi-artifacts back to reality just like that!
"Alas, it's a 2400-point game, and I didn't add any points. I lost a lot."
Having said that, this trial is still the most difficult one since Cheng Shi joined the [Game of Faith].
The weak seek to unite, while the strong compete to be the first. The trials in this segment have gradually stripped away the mechanism for low-segment players to work together, and they have begun to be wary of each other.
Everyone here is terribly smart. If it weren't for the trust and cooperation required in the early trials, Cheng Shi would probably have been at an absolute disadvantage at the beginning because of the hostility brought about by the belief in [Chaos].
And it was this game that finally allowed him to see how the top players at this stage were embracing [divinity].
In this amazing trial:
The followers of [foolishness] are the least foolish;
The followers of [Annihilation] annihilate themselves;
The believers of [Silence] are deafening;
The believers of [Memory] secretly tampered with the memory;
The followers of [Order] cheated and broke the "order";
The believers of [Fraud] were pitifully deceived to the very end.
Except Fang Jue, everyone is the best actor.
Not only did they end their roles perfectly, they also didn't leave any clues for their teammates.
While their actions pushed others away from death, they also forced the remaining players to go against the answer.
The survivors were terrified as they buried their heads in the search for "what the [death] sacrifice was", but they could not hear the silent laughter from the winners who had already passed the trial.
To be honest, it might not be difficult to guess that the answer is death.
The hardest thing is whether you dare to die.
They had discovered the clues long ago and dared to use death to confirm their guesses.
Such courage and confidence made Cheng Shi ashamed.
As for the believers of Order who were still kept in the dark...
Never mind, there has to be a slacker in every trial.
Even the best players can have bad days.
You mean it, Mr. Fang?
This trial was worthy of being high-end, and Cheng Shi did not treat it as a slacker.
Although he didn't lead anyone to success, he won himself in an extremely safe way.
Even if he was deceived by others, at least in the end, he had "tricked" death.
"Does this count as cheating God?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave from the deep abyss enveloped the rooftop where Cheng Shi was.
"???"
Coming again?
