Cheng Shi's expression froze on his face.
His brain was working frantically, wondering whether the other party had recovered his memory and came to "recognize his relatives" or had not recovered his memory and came to test him!
Of course, there is an even more terrifying possibility, that is, after losing his memory, Ji Yue joined the Fire Bearer again, and this new Fire Bearer, just like Fang Shiqing did back then, also chose himself!
None of the above three possibilities is acceptable.
However, if it was really the third one, he was not surprised that Ji Yue could join the Fire Transmission. After all, this knowledgeable scholar had already explained in the void her will that was infinitely close to that of the city builder.
After thinking for a long time and failing to figure out how to answer this question, Cheng Shi simply kept silent, revealing a puzzled expression that clearly asked:
You let Chen Shuo leave just for this? What kind of will-o'-the-wisp is this?
Ji Yue seemed to have anticipated Cheng Shi's reaction. She raised her hand and passed it across her body, casting a barrier around her. She smiled and said,
"Why don't you come down and talk in detail?
I'm not that scary, am I?"
Sister, you are a little scary now.
Cheng Shi curled his lips, jumped off the roof, glanced at the time and said, "Travel time is precious, say it quickly if you have something to say."
Ji Yue shook her head and chuckled:
"If you are resisting me, then you must understand what I meant by 'passing on the fire'.
That’s right, you have kindness in your heart, so you can naturally figure out my purpose.
Then I won’t beat around the bush.”
As he spoke, Ji Yue's expression became serious:
"The gods descended upon the world and bestowed upon us a [Game of Faith].
It’s called a game, but I think it’s more of a drama.
They are high above, manipulating the world with faith, performing puppet shows one after another on the stage to get closer to their unknown purpose.
But since it is a play, there will naturally be sorrow and joy, happiness and separation, but the joy is all on them, while the sorrow and separation are all on our heads.
Mortals cannot struggle and can only let things take their course, watching their loved ones and friends leave us... Just like you said, we must always do something for ourselves and our friends!
So, Master Weaver, are you willing to be a prey to the oppression of others forever?"
“…”
This scene seems familiar.
At this moment, he knew that Ji Yue had definitely joined the Fire Bearer, but he didn't know who had recruited her.
It can’t be Fang Shiqing?
They should have no memory. Could it be that something else happened afterwards that they don’t know about?
Although he thought a lot, Cheng Shi responded quickly. He replied almost instantly:
"I'm willing."
“???”
Ji Yue was stunned, her emotions were interrupted for a moment. She looked at Cheng Shi in surprise, stared at him for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
“You are not willing to accept it!
The faster you answer, the more you refuse to get close to me, and the more you do so, the more unwilling you are.
I understand the feeling of being unable to fight for one thing because of personal concerns, just like you saved so many people but still claimed that you were only protecting yourself."
"I'm just protecting myself." Cheng Shi looked strange.
"Yeah?
Then why are there so many people who are trying to protect themselves? Others only think about preserving themselves, but you saved everyone in an experimental field?"
“…”
Cheng Shi was stunned. He was speechless by this question, and even his cerebellum was a little boiling at this moment.
No, sister, why do you look at things from such a tricky angle?
Shouldn't you only need to explain when you do something bad? Why do I have to take such a big "blame" for doing a good thing?
I swear to God, if I didn't resist in that situation, Zaingil would have beaten me to death. How could I not do it?
Besides, I sent Zaingil to Dolgod for his knowledge and treasures. How come I am a good person in your eyes?
The word "good" is not something that everyone can do.
Cheng Shi shook his head, feeling that he couldn't continue chatting with Ji Yue. He said "you're sick" and turned to leave, but Ji Yue grabbed his arm.
The Fire Bearer looked at him with scorching eyes and said:
“The goodness in a person’s heart cannot be hidden.
Although I am not as good as him in judging people, I am also sure that you are suitable for us.
Fate Weaver, join us, let us be your backer and help you clear away your worries."
Cheng Shi sneered and turned around and said:
"You know what my worries are? Just help me clear them up. You're being so arrogant.
Okay, I'll give you a chance to prove it to me.
As long as you can clear my worries, I will agree to join you."
Ji Yue's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to make some promises, she heard Cheng Shi continue:
"Kill [Annihilation], and I'll go with you."
“…”
The smile on Ji Yue's face froze. She was stunned for a long time before she confirmed that Cheng Shi was not talking about the [Annihilation] believer in this trial, but the [Annihilation] god himself.
How could the Fire Bearer have the ability to kill a true God!
If it is possible, then why would we need to pass on the fire? The spark would have already spread all over the prairie.
Seeing the other party's expression, Cheng Shi sneered again:
“Why, you can’t do it?
If you can't do it, why are you talking big? As everyone knows, the followers of [Annihilation] are hunting me. The root cause is that I have an eternal feud with [Annihilation].
Since you can't solve this concern, then don't bother me.
Besides, scholar, are you recruiting me to be a defender of the city or a builder?"
“!!!”
Ji Yue's face changed drastically, her eyes turned cold in an instant, and she clenched her fists as if she was ready to strike at any time, but she soon realized that Cheng Shi had been lying to her all along and that he might have rejected the Fire Bearer a long time ago.
She laughed and shook her head, then smiled bitterly and said:
“I see, no wonder you were so resistant to me when you heard about the Fire Transmission.
Who has contacted you?
Fang Shiqing?
It can probably only be her. You may not believe it, but I actually recruited you to guard the city.
Because I can see that the kindness in your heart is in defense, not in attack.
Although I am a firewood seeker for the City Builders, I cannot refuse to pull a top player with good intentions into our group.
But now it seems that I was just wishful thinking..."
She let go of Cheng Shi's hand, but her eyes were still full of admiration.
"You know the name of Fire Bearer, but you have never done anything to extinguish a fire. Although you are not a true Fire Bearer, you will be our eternal friend."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply towards Cheng Shi.
When you're tough, Cheng Shi will only get tougher, but if you play this game...
Cheng Shi glanced at the back of Ji Yue's neck as he bowed, and hesitated whether to strike the second firewood seeker with a knife.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. Ji Yue was not Fang Shiqing. If he failed to knock her out, he couldn't fight with the Fire Bearer.
Ji Yue certainly didn't know that Cheng Shi was thinking about these dirty things. She wanted to fight for it one last time, even if it was just to give him a non-staff position, but when she raised her head again, Cheng Shi was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the empty alley, Ji Yue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"...This destiny weaver is truly interesting."
