"......"
Brother, if it weren't for this cage, I wouldn't dare ask you for any help...
Of course, this cannot be said. Cheng Shi looked happy and said with a hint of gratitude:
“I do need your help with something, Avros.
The first is that if you learn any information about my mask fragments through other channels, please tell me as soon as possible. I believe that this cage of [time] cannot trap you.
Second, I might have to lend you…”
Avros' eyes lit up.
"Can I borrow your door for use?" Cheng Shi smiled slightly.
"?"
Avros was confused. No, my brother asked me for help, but he didn’t want anyone, but just wanted to requisition the door?
"You mean... the entrance to the Inquisition?"
“Yes, you should have figured out that I am not just Yu Xi, but also a player named Cheng Shi.
Explaining what I'm doing is complicated and involves a lot of things, you just need to know that I have to play this role well.
This is very important to me!
I believe you already have some understanding of the players of this era. Many of them are smart and have weird ideas. It is difficult to gain their trust as an ordinary player.
I cannot reveal my true identity, so I can only resort to unconventional tactics and use some [fraudulent] methods to achieve my goal.
To put it simply, I need to use a mysterious space to "disguise" myself as the real me or some other identity, so that I can pry something out of the hands of these savvy players.
Of course, I don't need what's in their mouths, I just need...
They were deceived.”
Avros was silent. He pondered over Cheng Shi's words for a long time, then nodded, shook his head and said:
“I think I understand.
Indeed, they always issue decrees that are still incomprehensible to the gods.
Practitioners of [Nothingness] need to spread nothingness, and messengers of [Fraud] need to deceive all living beings.
I can understand all of this.
But I have one more question, and this is the last one, my brother. Answer this question, and the door of the Inquisition will always be open to you."
Cheng Shi's eyes lit up: "You ask."
Avros's sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Cheng Shi's soul. He chuckled and said slowly:
“I feel your heartbeat and your emotions. You smell like deception. Although I have never come into contact with Him, I can find a scent similar to lies in the sea of Depravity.
You are lying, right?
So my brother, my last question is:
Whether just now or now, are you lying to me?"
Cheng Shi's heart trembled, but he said calmly on the surface:
"yes!
I’m lying to you.”
Avros frowned slightly. He had thought of this a long time ago. After all, the other party was the messenger of [Fraud]. It would be too absurd if even a messenger of a god who advocated illusions did not lie.
But the problem is that being cheated will make one feel unhappy, not to mention that He has not yet realized where exactly he was deceived, because the smell of lies on Cheng Shi has never faded from the beginning to the end!
But He was not angry. At least in Avros's opinion, Cheng Shiken's confession of his identity as an envoy was the greatest kindness to him. As for the other lies... for a prisoner, they didn't matter.
But who would have known that the next second, his opinion of Cheng Shi changed again.
Because Cheng Shi immediately added:
"My faith requires lies, so I lied to you, I embraced my own desires, and then... I approached [Depravity] to show my sincerity."
As soon as the words fell, someone's clothes fell to the ground again.
The full moon rises into the sky, bright and white.
"???"
Under the dazzling moonlight, Cheng Shi...
Very scared.
