In the end, a flaw appeared in the false curtain call of the God of Joy. No matter how arbitrarily He rewrote the script, the trial was, after all, a story under this starry sky. Once the individual left this starry sky, he would naturally no longer be affected.
And that's how Lao Zhang was truly transported to another world.
This also proves two things:
First, the fake curtain call actually happened. Although the timeline skips the tragedy, it is not truly "fake".
Second, Cheng Shi from the other world might not be dead. Since everything is a script, then Le Zi Shen shouldn't be so ruthless as to harm another clown.
But all of this is speculation. Cheng Shi doesn't even know how the trial, which he has no memory of, ended. So he came to the place where the clowns gathered.
He knew someone would come looking for him.
Sure enough, he met that person not long after.
When Cheng Shi noticed someone behind him, he said without turning his head:
"Thanks."
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Zhen Xin rolled her eyes and tried to break the silence by mimicking Cheng Shi's tone, saying, "Verbal thanks aren't very sincere, so why not do something more practical?"
Cheng Shi chuckled lightly, and when he turned around, the seriousness on his face had vanished, replaced by a slightly teasing smile:
"That 'thank you' was for Old Zhang, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhen Xin stood with her arms crossed, seeing through Cheng Shi's lie, and shook her head, saying:
"Some people may have the name Cheng Shi, but they are never honest."
"It's okay, I wanted it for Old Zhang too."
"......"
Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
This is wonderful! This is what it feels like to be alive! This is what it means to be a living clown!
However, since Zhen Xin's first reaction was to joke rather than to be surprised, it means that the other party has forgotten about the end of the era during the trial.
Indeed, not everyone retains their true memories.
Cheng Shi frowned slightly, and once again earnestly said "thank you" to Zhen Xin, then solemnly added:
“Miss Magician, the next question may seem a bit unbelievable, but I have to ask it:”
What exactly happened during the trial?
Please retell all the stories you know.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xin's pupils constricted sharply. Her first thought was, who exactly is Cheng Shi on the other side?
But then she realized that Cheng Shi was Cheng Shi, and the problem was very likely with her!
The sense of emptiness and confusion, along with Mingyu's palpitations, seemed to indicate that something significant had happened during the recently concluded trial, but she couldn't remember it at all, and Chengshi had forgotten all his memories.
No, judging from his reaction, he doesn't seem to have forgotten anything, but rather he seems to have remembered something. Could it be that he himself has lost his memory?
But I was fully conscious throughout that trial, so how could I have lost my memory?
Zhen Xin's expression gradually turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, she asked uncertainly:
"Time" or "Memory"?
Cheng Shi said in a deep voice, "Probably all of them."
"Both!?" Zhen Xin's eyes widened instantly, and she asked in disbelief, "Is that [Existence], or... [Primordial]?"
"Perhaps they all are."
"Let's talk about the trial first, Miss Magician. What I'm about to tell you is probably completely different from what you're thinking."
