A bunch of liars?
Li Jingming looked at Cheng Shi in front of him with great interest, and said with a smile: "But I am [Existence]."
"Using [existence] to talk about [nothingness] is more absurd and more interesting, isn't it?" Cheng Shi smiled playfully.
It does make sense...
In terms of abstraction, [Nothingness] is indeed better.
“But the stories I tell are also stories of [existence].”
“No, no, no, when you start to play someone else, the story you tell is already a story of nothingness.”
Cheng Shi explained seriously, and this explanation made the Dragon King's eyes light up.
“Interesting, I am not opposed to joining some organizations, otherwise I would not seek recognition from the historical school.
However, any organization must be established for a purpose, some for the purpose of gaining profits, some for the purpose of protecting themselves, then what about you, Cheng Shi, this so-called "clown", what is your purpose?"
"I told you, in order to tell the story of Nothingness well."
Li Jingming shook his head:
"Stop playing dumb. I know you [Destiny] believers love to be mysterious, but I'm a pragmatic person, Cheng Shi, you can't fool me.
Let me be honest, what can I gain from being a clown and what do I have to pay for it.”
Okay, that’s what I’ve been waiting for!
If you don't take the bait, I don't know how to continue.
Cheng Shi laughed. He put down his mask and introduced it seriously:
“We are not only the tellers of [the] stories of nothingness, but also the listeners of these stories.
You probably misunderstood what I meant. What I meant by telling the stories of the [Nothingness] was not to spread their will to those two, but to collect stories that actually took place in the [Nothingness] era.
Of course, the protagonist of the story will not be a mortal or a player, but rather someone who exists or has existed.
Dragon King, this era is far different from other eras. As for why, you are not experienced enough to decipher it now.
You just need to remember that players are never the trendsetters of the times, only they are.
So our ultimate goal is to turn ourselves into the protagonists of the endless storytelling, from clowns to...protagonists."
Li Jingming's eyes fixed, and he frowned in astonishment, "An alternative society of worshipping gods? Is your goal to become gods?"
"It doesn't matter whether there are gods or not, what we want is to survive, to survive in this era of nothingness.
At least in this pragmatic sense, our organization is very similar to yours.”
At this point, Cheng Shi thought to himself, Lao Zhang in the organization is more pragmatic than you, so I can't be considered lying.
“Also, our path does not conflict with your path of [memory]. Even if you don’t agree with our philosophy, it’s not impossible to simply use this place as a place to exchange information.
Dragon King, I made an exception and invited you in because you can still be saved. Otherwise, you wouldn't have this opportunity."
Is there any hope?
Survive?
Li Jingming thought about these words carefully, and after pondering for a moment, he finally revealed a smile in his solemn expression.
"So, I have to thank you?"
Cheng Shi nodded as if it was a matter of course, "We are all brothers now, so there is no need to be polite. Just pay the membership fee."
"......" As expected, I asked you where you were waiting for me, and it turned out to be here.
However, Li Jingming did not refuse. He was indeed a little interested, but his interest was not in this so-called clown organization, but in Cheng Shi himself.
At least here, he could hear many stories about them from Cheng Shi.
Well, it's nice to be a silent listener among a group of clowns telling stories.
"I agree. How much is the membership fee?" The Dragon King was as generous as ever.
"Well, I told you that we are all brothers here, there is no need to be so polite. Do you still have that [Time Note]? Just give me two.
Why are you so embarrassed? I'm doing this for the sake of the organization, not for myself.
Think about it, if we want to tell a story, we must have material, but where does the material come from? Ultimately, we still have to look for and accumulate it in history.
Well, when I think about it, you, Dragon King, are born with a connection to the clown. We are just in need of a [Memory] warrior like you."
"......"
The fist hardened again.
Li Jingming turned his head away speechlessly to avoid looking at this annoying clown. He took two deep breaths and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Who else is in the Clown, Cheng Shi, don't tell me this is an organization you just set up to get my membership fee?
Since [memory] is missing, I guess there is no [memory] here.
Are you all [fraudulent] believers?
Is the clown a gathering of funny people? "
"How is that possible? The organization is full of capable people. You will know later."
Cheng Shi had the confidence to say this, after all, it was just established in front of Lao Zhang. Now, Choujiao has been established for... uh... a day in the Island of Hope. So, if you calculate it this way, well, it can be considered an organization with a thousand points of inheritance.
“Okay, I believe it.
Give me the organization's logo, identity code, contact code, meeting address, and meeting rules. If I really meet other clowns, I will give you a lot of membership fees."
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned.
No, brother, why are you so formal?
Have you ever joined any fake organization?
Isn't this world so orderly everywhere? Have you forgotten the chaos just now? [Chaos] is the mainstream, brother!
Besides, where can I find these things for you?
I didn't write it so carefully...
But things have come to this point, Cheng Shi naturally can't give away the "intelligence library" he has obtained, so he can only raise his mask again and say seriously:
"Nothingness has no meaning, so naturally there are no fancy things. You just need to remember that the clown's slogan is 'Everything for Nothingness'.
As for the gathering... it can be held at any time and with no limit on the number of people. When there is a need, [Nothingness] will respond."
After saying this, he wanted to put on a mask to act mysterious, but before he could put the mask on his face, he was sucked away into the void with a "whoosh".
"......"
Looking at Cheng Shi who suddenly disappeared, Li Jingming's face froze.
Is this what they call a response to Nothingness?
Is that the response?
Who summoned Cheng Shi?
【Fraud】? Is He done?
What about me? Is it time for me to be summoned?
Just as the Dragon King was thinking this, a few seconds later, there was another "whoosh" sound, and the Chosen One of Memory, who was still looking forward to meeting the second benefactor, was thrown out of the void by a huge force and thrown back into reality.
"......"
