Cheng Shi was also wondering why the boss [Death] would bestow such a thing.

It sounds like this thing is used by players with ulterior motives to disobey the gods. If that lord can tolerate the challenge to the divine authority, does it mean that he is likely to have the same "rebellious" spirit as the God of Fun?

But if this kind of spirit is placed in the dimension of God...isn't it just the school of fear?

"!!??"

So the adult went from being neutral to being fearful?

Did the God of Fun really pull Him over?

It's possible! Considering that he had always been taken care of by that adult, Cheng Shi even thought that adult might have been won over by the God of Fun a long time ago, and the bad relationship between [Death] and [Nothingness] might have been acted out to avoid suspicion.

And now, using His gift to block the sight and hearing of the gods has perfectly solved the trouble of attracting too much attention from the universe under the protection of [Fraud]. After all, that lord has a good reputation among the gods, at least he is not the kind of person who often causes trouble.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's mind suddenly became active.

With the blessing of this prop, there is much more room for maneuver, but I don't know if this thing can also block the prying eyes of the God of Fun...

Seeing Cheng Shi's suspicious look, Zhang Jizu said again:

"Don't think this is too simple. Even if it can block the gods' sight and hearing, it is also the creation of the Benefactor. Therefore, all words and deeds under its protection cannot escape the attention of that Lord.

Cheng Shi, if what you want to share is also related to the Benefactor...”

Zhang Jizu didn't explain it clearly, but Cheng Shi already understood it.

"And this item is not without a time limit. My benefactor reminded me that if the aura of death lingers for too long, it will also arouse the suspicion of the gods. When they haven't come yet and are just watching, the aura may be able to deceive them, but once they become suspicious and come to the scene to investigate...

What is fake is fake, and everything we talk about will be caught red-handed.

So it’s up to you whether to use it or not.”

Of course I have to use it. Since that adult has given it to me, it is obvious that he wants me to use it. The question is whether the will of the God of Fun is involved in it.

If the God of Fun has reached some agreement with that adult and left some backdoor in this prop... then I have to be careful with my words and actions. I can't defame my benefactor in front of the two gods.

But if there were no crickets, how could we boldly guess the intentions of the God of Fun?

Cheng Shi fell into deep thought again. It took him a long time to regain his composure. He stared at the bell in Zhang Jizu's hand and said:

"I know about this, but why are you still holding my things?"

"?" Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cheng Shi with a half-smile: "Yours? Cheng Shi, giving a clock as a gift is not a good sign."

"?" The little skull's eye sockets suddenly widened, "Mi Lao Zhang, your thoughts are very dangerous."

"You said this, what does it have to do with me?"

Having said that, Zhang Jiuzu handed the bone bell directly to Cheng Shi.

It was a good opportunity to earn a treasure, but when the word "free clock" came out, Cheng Shi felt that he had lost out.

"Mi Lao Zhang, you definitely carved my tombstone secretly. Tell me, where did you hide it?"

Zhang Jizu shook his head and sighed. In order to avoid the noise of the little skull, he directly covered Cheng Shi with the bone bell and chuckled:

"100 tombstones is a huge project. I'm a little busy recently, but don't worry, you won't be left out."

"......"

The next second, Cheng Shi’s loud protest was heard from inside the clock.

"Mi Lao Zhang, you are betraying friendship and sabotaging the revolution. You dare to imprison the most devout employee of the master. Tell me, have you already embraced [Depravity] and want to use it to relieve your jealousy!?"

Zhang Jizu's eyes were almost squinting. He couldn't stand the noise of the little skull any more, so he found a carving knife and knocked the bone bell with the handle. The buzzing sound made Cheng Shi inside the bell see stars and stop.

"You just turned into a little skull in appearance, not really those noisy things. Save your energy and talk about the clown."

Cheng Shi inside the clock shook his head and said nauseously:

"Don't think you can just change the subject. I'll remember this grudge...

The place is already there, and the preparations... are pretty thorough. The only problem is that the void is too empty, not worthy of the status of the clowns, so I wanted to ask you for help, but I didn't expect to be retaliated by you, a sinister villain, without even realizing it!"

Zhang Jizu ignored Cheng Shi's last sentence and frowned and said:

"The clown was born from [nothingness], and the venue is empty and nothing hits the point, how can it not be worthy?"

Cheng Shi recovered and sneered, "Let me ask you, can you accept a face-to-face discussion with Zhen Xin?

If you say you can, after today's work is done, you give me this clock, and I will not ask for anything else and will just leave."

"......"

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and quickly understood the deeper meaning of Cheng's words. It was not a question of whether to stick close to the face or not, but a question of "distance".

When a group of scammers show up at the same location and need to choose their location at random, guess what they will choose?

If they are too close, they will feel uneasy with each other; if they are too far, they will seem distant. After all, everyone is here to gather intelligence. If they show an attitude of keeping people at a distance from the beginning, will they still listen to the intelligence?

Therefore, under the constraints of the clown name, even if these scammers do not trust each other, they must at least appear to trust each other.

The distance is the most direct manifestation of trust. They will keep getting closer and show their "sincerity" by shortening the distance.

If this happens to two scammers, their trust and caution will eventually reach a suitable distance and they will stand still. But if it happens to a group of scammers...

Believe me, everyone's positions will only get closer and closer, because even if you stand one step further away from others, you will be ridiculed and despised by other scammers.

They do this to highlight their "sincerity".

Of course, if all the participants were people like the Dragon King, and everyone was focused on discussing the Dao, there would be no problem in getting closer. But what if there was a Zhen Xin among this group of people?

Yes, Zhen Xin is good at cooperation and can chat with everyone, but when I think about that face also belongs to Zhen Yi...

Zhang Jizu's eyes twitched, and he immediately suggested, "We are short of a table."

"Not bad!" Cheng Shi smiled, and a muffled laugh came out in the bone clock. "Before I came here, I also wanted a table, but after coming here, I suddenly had an idea.

Mi Lao Zhang, if you don’t mind, why not…”

"???"

Zhang Jizu was stunned. He picked up the bone bell and looked at Cheng Shi, who was grinning, and asked again and again, "Will this work?"

"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?

Tsk, I've never seen you so excited, Lao Zhang, your thoughts are indeed a bit dangerous."

Zhang Jizu hid the gleam in his eyes, turned his head away, and thought silently in his heart:

No matter how dangerous it is, at most I am... just an accomplice.
