Cheng Shi didn't choose option two because he was afraid that option two would be a trap.
He thought of what Zhen Xin was thinking, and was not sure whether what he was seeing was Xi Mu or Chen Xi. He was afraid that [Fraud] would play tricks on the clown again at this time and start a mental game with the clown.
If he loses this round, it won't just be a matter of clearing the Joker's name. Cheng Shizhen might completely collapse, so he directly said:
"The second option shouldn't exist; it defeats your purpose, unless the current world is what you covet.
I cannot understand what choice two means to you, but I know that you have made so many plans and plots, and you will never let me die so easily in this starry sky. You can read my mind and know what I am thinking. Death is the most 'perfect' ending for me now.
Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that option 2 is a trap, a lie that will make me lose the initiative forever."
[Fraud] listened to everything with his eyes raised, and looked at Cheng Shi with an extremely admiring look, as if saying:
Look, this is the collection I hand-picked.
Cheng Shi didn't want to meet that gaze, so he looked away silently and said:
"But I have a condition!"
[Fraud] was still laughing, but what he said sounded like the cold [fate].
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms."
"I have!"
Cheng Shi raised his head, his gaze passed over [Fraud] and looked towards the infinitely distant void, and said with great certainty:
"Since you raised this choice at the moment when victory is crucial, it means that this choice is not only important to me, but also to you.
Being trapped in endless choices is obviously not the outcome you expected, so you described this "punishment" so specifically. You are spreading fear and trying to force me to make a choice.
So not choosing is my bargaining chip and my qualification to negotiate terms.
I can cooperate with you even more, cooperate with you to travel to another starry sky, cooperate with you to test the method of resisting [Origin], and cooperate with your so-called vision of saving the world, as long as you agree to my conditions."
Deception's eyes spun slightly, their bewildering spirals making it impossible to discern his thoughts. After a moment, he chuckled softly and said with interest:
"You are worthy of being my believer. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"I want to become a fool!" Cheng Shi's words were extremely firm.
[Fraud] laughed heartily, "This is one of the options, you don't need to emphasize it."
"No, it's different." Cheng Shi's eyes fixed, he clenched his fists, and said with a gamble, "I don't want to be the false [Fraud] Messenger that the Flame of Hope said, who can only rely on lies to deceive the world's recognition.
I want to be the real fool, the fool who holds the power to deceive the gods!
My Lord Benefactor... This is the last time I call you My Lord Benefactor. You once said that when I become the chosen one of God, you will give me the power to deceive God.
Now, you have cut off my path to climb with a trial, making it impossible for me to reach the height of the Ladder of Audience. For this, shouldn't you give me 'compensation'? "
"laugh--
The clown is always clever, but you forgot that I am [Fraud]. Who told you that a promise from [Fraud] is also a promise?
There was a gleam in Cheng Shi's eyes, as if he was waiting for this sentence.
"Since your words are untrustworthy, what's the point of making this choice?"
"?"
[Fraud] blinked, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I think you're already a fool. At least, even if the authority of sophistry doesn't belong to you, you've learned it completely.
But your intention of becoming a fool was not to cooperate with me, ha, you can't fool me now.
The clown is very smart. He thought of using this method to "pollute" himself. It seems that you are determined to stay in this world.
Have you thought it through?
The road to resistance paved by countless clowns with their time and lives may very well be cut short in your hands. Are you... worthy of them?"
Hearing this, Cheng Shi fell silent.
But not long after, he suddenly raised his head, looked directly into the oppressive gaze of [Fraud], and laughed out loud just like the other party.
No, he's even crazier!
“I don’t need to be worthy of them, I only need to be worthy of myself.
The premise of will kidnapping is that you have to deeply understand this will, but [Fraud], even if you can read minds, you will never understand that the road they paved was never to restrain, shackle, or kidnap another person, but to give them more choices in the future!
Every Cheng Shi is working hard to write his own story. We will never interfere with the choices of other Cheng Shi. We will only help him when we can. As for whether he is willing to accept such kindness, the choice is still his own.
This is the true goodwill from countless Cheng Shi: we will always support his choice!
And you, using countless good intentions to threaten me, this is ridiculous!
If I succumb to your threats, waver in my will, change my inner choice, and smear my story, I will be the real betrayer who owes them an apology!
No matter who you are, I will never submit to you. This must be the reason why your original plan to "save the world" failed!
【Fraud】!
You can never impose your will on a clown!
Your actions will only drive the clown further away, until in the end, you become the real, lonely clown with no future!"
“…”
Every word is heart-wrenching.
[Fraud] was rarely silent, and an inexplicable complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well and was not discovered by Cheng Shi. However, all of this was seen by [Fate].
