Although Cheng Shi was looking at Li Wufang, his eyes were never idle, and he was always observing the reactions of other people in the venue.
Hong Lin didn't react much to Li Wufang's arrival. After all, she was the one who notified him, so she didn't feel much surprise.
The blind man has a very deep connection with Li Wufang. They had participated in the same trial, and it was the [Time] trial that allowed the blind man to be transferred to this world.
On the contrary, Tao Yi was very surprised. She had no reaction when she heard Li Wufang's voice, but the moment she saw him, her eyes suddenly widened and she slightly turned her head to glance at Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi keenly captured this scene and always felt that this wood elf seemed to be hiding some secret unknown to everyone.
But he did not expose it, instead he called the hesitant investigator to come in quickly.
Cheng Shi knocked on the table and said with a meaningful smile:
"Your detour is a blasphemy to both [Destiny] and [Order].
Although blasphemy is also a kind of piety, I don't think you have reached that level yet.
We know you are very pious, but your piety is used in the wrong place. This is not a temple for worshipping God, and there is no need to pretend to outsiders. This is a gathering of destined people, and the place closest to the "essence" in this game.
Here, it’s not just you…”
Cheng Shi smiled and looked around, "Everyone, there's no need to wear any masks anymore. Just treat this place as your home. Put aside all your concerns and doubts, and let's have a sincere exchange.
Believers of [Fraud] always like to hold heart-to-heart meetings, but we are different.
We are the lucky ones blessed by fate. We are not only sharing our hearts, but also our lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wufang walked into the gate clapping his hands and found a vacant seat to sit down.
Seeing the quiet atmosphere, he turned to his hooded companion and said, "Why aren't you applauding? Brother Cheng's speech was so good."
This unintentional remark made the wood elf's situation even more awkward. Cheng Shi also looked at her with a smile and said happily:
"Why, the Wood Elf isn't ready to remove his disguise yet?"
"What disguise?"
Hong Lin was stunned and glanced at her best friend suspiciously, but saw Tao Yi pursed her lips and folded her hands on the table like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
As she lowered her head, the hooded people beside the round table...all disappeared with a "bang".
The effect of this "departure" is exactly the same as when some [fraud] illusion is shattered!
Hong Lin was shocked and immediately punched the table. No matter how slow she was, she realized that those hoods were illusions. But why did the little fox create so many illusions?
Just at this moment, Cheng Shi stood up with a smile and bowed slightly to the four people present. He pinched his [Destiny] dice with two fingers and placed it lightly on the table.
“The destined meeting begins now.
The way you come and go is all determined by fate!"
The solemn gesture instantly interrupted Big Cat's emotions. Although everyone on the scene had doubts, they still took out their dice and followed Cheng Shi to recite the most pious prayer of the destined person to [fate].
But this scene looked awkward to the big cat no matter how he looked at it.
If Tao Yi hadn't told her that the gathering of destined people was like a gambling gathering, she might not have thought of this. But now, watching everyone put the dice on the table, what's the difference between this and guessing the big or small dice in a casino?
What’s even more fitting is that this round table happens to be a gambling table…
Everyone seemed to notice this. They looked at each other, finally breaking the silence and laughing at the same time.
Hong Lin was smiling, but suddenly thought of something, and his smile faded. He looked at Cheng Shi with a dark face and shouted:
"Cheng Shi, what's going on?
How did it start?
Where is the destined person?!
Don't tell me there are only these five!
I brought one of these five here with me!"
“…”
Cheng Shi's smile froze, and before he could even try to evade the question, he heard Tao Yi, who was standing beside Hong Lin, lower her head and whisper, "Quality is more important than quantity..."
"You still have the nerve to say that?"
Hong Lin grabbed Tao Yi's face with both hands, squeezing and flattening it, and said through gritted teeth, "You also know that quality is the essence of war?
But do you know how I brought you up here?
I think since there are so many people around, you won’t make a difference. Otherwise, how could I have the nerve to talk to him!
You're so good, you're helping him cheat people and you think you're right, right? Tell me, when did you contact him, and who gave you the [fraud] props! "
The little fox wasn't stupid. Seeing she was about to be beaten, she gave in immediately, hugged the big cat's arm, threw the [Fate] dice in her hand on the table, and mumbled to herself, explaining:
“It’s not a tool of [fraud], it’s a talent of [fate], a talent given to me by [fate], a character in the play.
I’m a screenwriter now, Baldy, and those hallucinations are characters from my scripts.”
"Bang!"
Big Cat punched Tao Yi on the head, his face turning even darker.
"Don't call me bald outside!"
"The Fate Weaver said this is home."
"...Which side are you on?!" The big cat was furious. He picked up the little fox and threw her towards Cheng Shi, saying angrily, "Go with him!"
Seeing the wood elf instantly enlarged in his field of vision, Cheng Shi's expression became serious. He snapped his fingers and changed his position to Li Wufang's side. Then, under Li Wufang's confused gaze, he watched Tao Yi fall to the ground.
"Bang--"
The scene fell into silence again. Even the blind woman with a sad face couldn't help but smile at this cheerful friendship between best friends. But then she thought of something, restrained the curve of her lips, and frowned again.
