The Fishbone Hall is unusually quiet today.
Countless small skulls in the torrent of bones looked at Cheng Shi who came to see them with different expressions, without saying a word, as if some storm was brewing.
Cheng Shi was also shocked. He thought that his boss was not pleased with his use of the bone clock to contact him, so the joy he felt when he just entered the door disappeared completely, and only uneasiness remained.
Of course, you can’t see an expression of anxiety on a small skull, but you can see a pure sense of death.
This sense of death came not only from Cheng Shi, but also from another little skull, Scarlett.
Although his body exploded into a bone gate, he was still summoned in by [Death]. However, Scarlett had never seen such a scene before. As soon as he appeared on the steps of the Fishbone Hall, he was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he rolled into the torrent on the side of the road and found his place.
Seeing that the person behind him had disappeared, Cheng Shi felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder. He jumped carefully to the front of the bone seat, looked up at the huge skull with no trace of green flame in the eye sockets, and wondered what this adult was thinking?
You can't be thinking about how to punish yourself?
That can't be possible. I'm such an excellent employee. It's okay not to reward me, but punishment is out of the question!
The uneasiness in his heart told Cheng Shi that it seemed inappropriate to actively praise at this time. He did not dare to disturb the adult's meditation, but just stood quietly under the bone seat and waited patiently.
It's also a good opportunity to sort out my thoughts and the plan I'm going to lobby my boss for.
But I don’t know how much time passed while I waited.
It was not until the huge skull on the bone base made a buzzing sound that Cheng Shi came to his senses.
"Are you here to meet me, or to take refuge and relax during the trial?
Why have you been here for so long without saying a word? "
“????”
Cheng Shi was stunned. He suddenly looked up at the adult, his empty eye sockets filled with shock.
"Sir, aren't you thinking?
I was afraid of disturbing your thoughts."
"Who told you that I was thinking?"
“…”
No one, really, but...
"...You were so motionless that I thought the trivialities of the world distracted you from paying attention to the humblest of employees."
A trace of green flame flashed in the eyes of the giant skull, and it snorted heavily:
"Ever since you stepped into the palace, I have been watching you.
But you, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to this, only caring about yourself and lost in thought.
Cheng, real.
Can you think that this is your place of nothingness?
It’s broken, the boss is angry!
Cheng Shi's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface. He nodded and said:
"My lord, as a Void Walker, Void is indeed my home.
But this is also my home!
Home is the same as home, so you are right. To be disrespectful, although I am a mortal, I really regard this place as my home."
As soon as these words were spoken, the torrent of bones in the Fishbone Hall boiled over for a moment, then returned to their respective positions and quieted down.
Cheng Shi was so frightened that he lowered his head, thinking that he had played the wrong emotional card. However, from an angle that he could not see, the huge skull actually made an extremely disgusted expression, and then returned to its indifferent state:
"You, sophistry, look so much like your hateful benefactor.
Tell me, what brings you here?"
"?"
Is this a pass?
Cheng Shi was delighted and raised his head again and said:
"Well... Respected sir, this time, besides saving a believer who has gone astray for you, I do have something else to do.
But I don’t know how to say this.”
"Then, don't tell me." The huge skull hummed.
"?"
That won’t do!
Cheng Shi always felt that his boss today disliked him a little, but he couldn't tell why exactly. In order for his plan to be implemented smoothly, he had to overcome the hurdle of the [Death] boss.
So he considered it for a moment, and then said, after carefully choosing his words:
"Then I will tell you, sir.
You should still remember that I intercepted countless [Annihilation] sacrifices for you last time, right? "
The giant skull was stunned for a moment, and then said quietly:
"If you came here to ask for a reward, you can leave now."
Cheng Shi was anxious:
“No, no, no!
My Lord, that is the devotion that a humble employee voluntarily offers to you. How can it be measured by rewards?
Of course, if there is, it is not impossible...
Why are you so angry? Don't be impatient, that's not what I meant!
I mean, after so much preparation, your staff is preparing a second dedication for you, and this devotion is far greater than the first!"
These words caused the green flames in the giant skull's eyes to ignite for a moment. "He" seemed to be somewhat interested, but then said in a deep voice:
“Those who offer their courtesy will surely receive what they seek.
As far as I can see, you are not so devout to your two annoying benefactors...
So, at this moment, what do you want to get from me?"
“…”
Cheng Shi tapped his chin twice, feeling a little aggrieved.
What I said...
Is it possible that in your eyes, such an excellent employee like me is such a greedy person?
Can't I be truly pious?
Forget it, there’s no point in lying to myself. I really want something, but this time I don’t need you to pay anything!
Cheng Shi calmed his mind and shook his head:
"My Lord, please forgive me for being disrespectful, but you are wrong.
