“What do I want to do?
I didn't intend to do anything. I just saw a wisp of [Filth] fell on the ground. Ah, or it might have fallen on your body. Anyway, it seemed that no one liked it, so I wanted to find a place to get rid of it.
I mean well. "
"......"
"......"
Cheng Shi was so shocked that the green flames in the giant skull's eyes almost went out after hearing this.
He glanced at [Fraud], then at Cheng Shi, and was silent for a moment, without saying a word. Then, he and the entire Fishbone Palace turned into countless streams of bones and left the place in the blink of an eye.
Communicating with Nothingness is a very empty thing, which He has never liked. Rather than being bullied here, He would rather hide away in peace.
But death can be avoided, but Cheng Shi cannot.
He clearly felt that there was something wrong with the gaze of his benefactor, but he wanted to say something but couldn't, so the scene was just awkward.
Those eyes looked at Cheng Shi with a smile, and after looking at him for a moment, they said:
"The work clothes fit you well."
Cheng Shi twitched his lips and thought to himself, isn't this what you put on me? I would like to change back, but the problem is, you have to do it, my lord.
Those eyes seemed to see through Cheng Shi's thoughts. They blinked twice and summoned a gust of invisible wind, which blew Cheng Shi several meters away.
The little skull rolled and rolled until it turned into Cheng Shi's original appearance. When he felt that he had grown hands and feet, he stopped rolling and stood up with an embarrassed look on his face.
But he still didn't speak, and his emotions were not as lively as before. The strange thing was that those eyes didn't say anything either, just looked at him, and the scene fell silent again.
Some silences are to accumulate energy to speak up and ease the awkwardness, while some silences are to...deepen the deadlock.
For example, now, as time goes by, the situation becomes deadlocked.
There seemed to be an increasingly thick layer of frosted glass between this man and this god, distorting each other's images and reflecting them on it. In their eyes, the other person's appearance was no longer the familiar one they were before, and everything had changed.
Of course, all of the above are Cheng Shi's own thoughts. As for whether the look in Le Zi Shen's eyes when he looked at him had changed...
He didn't know because he didn't dare to look up.
The reason why he didn't speak was because he knew he couldn't deceive [Fraud]. Once he opened his mouth, the rift caused by suspicion would most likely widen.
Cheng Shi is very self-aware. He knows that his power is inseparable from the protection of [Nothingness], and [Memory] also said that the other “They” are interested in him because [Nothingness] is interested in him.
Therefore, he did not dare to easily break the filter of [Nothingness] on him and put himself in an awkward situation, and this caution aggravated the current deadlock.
"......"
We can't go on like this!
Cheng Shi realized that if this silence continued, the situation would get out of control and his relationship with [Fraud] would no longer be the same.
[Memory]'s words were indeed meant to sow discord, but the problem was that this was an open conspiracy. He did not fabricate a weapon out of thin air, but instead used Cheng Shi's suspicion as a weapon, and used it to slowly sever the close connection between Cheng Shi and [Nothingness].
Cheng Shi was indeed caught in the trap. Seeing the situation going bad, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, this deadlock is not completely unsolvable, because Lao Jia once taught him that the best way to avoid misunderstandings is to communicate fully.
In fact, misunderstandings, like being deceived, are caused by being isolated by information gaps. As long as communication is proper and there is sufficient information about the overall situation, misunderstandings will naturally not arise and people will not be deceived.
But the question is, how can a mortal fully communicate with a god?
Do I have to question the other party face to face whether they have any plans that are detrimental to me?
How can you question, with what identity, and on what basis can you question?
The chess pieces on the board are always at the mercy of others. Even if a wrong move causes a piece to be eaten, can it still be angry at the chess player when this discarded piece is placed in the chess box?
No, because chess pieces don't have mouths.
But Cheng Shi exists!
Cheng Shi learned a lot from Lao Jia's teaching, one of which was to make the skin he had developed in the orphanage as a child even thicker.
He saw the current situation clearly and knew that if he could not break the current deadlock today, then after that, even if he still walked on the path of [fraud], his piety would no longer be pious, and the gaze of his benefactor would become blurred.
Although he never expressed piety in words now, he still had some expectation and awe towards the so-called God of Fraud in his heart because of the affinity of "fraud".
This is undoubtedly the best relationship between man and God. No matter from which angle you look at it, Cheng Shi does not want to break this relationship.
So he could only break the deadlock.
And the way he broke the deadlock... was completely unskillful, even crude.
This clown who believes in [fraud], at this moment, actually chose to solve the problem with sincerity in the face of [fraud].
He went straight to the point, and his first sentence was earth-shattering. No other player present could have asked the question he asked.
Because the question is:
"My Lord, are you... harming me?"
Who says people can’t question God?
How do you know that you cannot question if you don’t question first?
This is what Cheng Shi wanted to ask the most, and it was also the question he began to think about when he learned in the game that many players were doubting the purpose of the gods. This doubt reached its peak the moment he became the darling of [Nothingness], but he had never asked it, and had never even communicated with other players.
