Because only in this way can it be explained why she, as a person in power, had never heard of [Foolishness] and why she had forgotten her past arrangements. Because in the civilized era of her time, [Foolishness] had indeed never come, and He had no way to influence too many things behind the curtain of the world.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi’s whole mind became clear, but at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his body.
Because he found that the difficulty of the trial was still increasing!
[Time] not only laid a trap, but also created a maze inside the trap. When Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and tried to get out of the maze, he found that the escape door that he had anchored when he looked from a distance suddenly turned into a stone wall.
He didn't seem to think about letting people come back, nor did he think about letting the players win.
Is this... the gift that [Time] gives to believers of [Destiny]?
Good, good, good!
What a good [time], what a good [existence], this hatred...
I'll endure it for now, to prevent some gods from being unethical and bullying the weak.
Praise [Destiny], He taught me patience.
Now that we have some speculations about Xi Luolin's affairs, then based on this, does the "discrepancy" in the [time] of the other two also have this problem?
What secrets are hidden in Gers and Adric?
Cheng Shi frowned, left the room and went straight to where Adric was imprisoned. He dragged the unconscious incontinent man and the stowaway on the beam back to the room where Shiloh was. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to switch back to the Joker and save Gers' life.
He wanted to win, and this belief became even stronger after he felt the deliberate obstruction of [time].
If you don't let me go back and don't let me win, then I will go back and I will win.
I don't believe that when I overcome all difficulties and win the trial fairly by relying on the rules of the [Game of Faith], the two benefactors of [Nothingness] will let [Time] take me away right under their noses!
So, today the Warriors left the stage with their heads held high, and the "dementia" clown returned to the stage.
After a healing spell, Gers woke up, but what greeted his new life was not cheers and applause, nor the administrators of Gasmera, but the silver scalpel that had killed him.
The Joker once again placed the blade on the opponent's newly healed wound.
"Gers, you only have one chance. I ask, you answer. If you are wrong, you die.
The first question is, how do you think this world is different from the world you live in? "
"???"
Gers was stunned. He hadn't even woken up from the confusion of resurrection and thought he was just having a nightmare.
He looked at Cheng Shi in confusion, blinked, and said uncertainly: "I seemed to be a citizen of the Tower of Reason before, but now, not anymore?"
"?"
Is this a nightmare you're having?
Isn't this the toad's dream of marrying a swan?
Do you think I'm kidding you?
Cheng Shi laughed in anger. He casually swung out a knife and stabbed Gers' thigh. Gers' face changed drastically, and he wailed. Finally, he woke up completely. He held Cheng Shi's arm with both hands and kept begging for mercy:
"I said, I said, I..."
The stowaway was extremely scared. He had no idea what the world or non-world that Cheng Shi was talking about was. He racked his brains to think about all his experiences, searching for hope of survival in his confused memories.
Soon, he really thought of something.
"【Abyss Volcano】!
I don't know what the world is or what it isn't, sir. I only know that when I fell, the [Abyss Volcano] should have erupted upwards, but now, it has changed direction.
Maybe that's why I fell?
I really don’t know the rest, sir!”
[Abyss Volcano] changed direction?
Cheng Shi frowned and began to recall his knowledge about the [Abyss Volcano]. To be honest, he knew very little about this mysterious passage connecting the underground and the surface. He only knew that people from the Island of Hope could go to the other side through this volcano.
After all, two months ago he was just a scoundrel who rarely even set foot in the void. Even now, in the peak game when everyone uses the void, the most common times he enters and exits the void are when he is summoned by the gods, rather than taking the initiative to break through reality.
The Joker's current game route is different from that of other players. Most of his "knowledge" comes from them, and history is directly "broken down and fed into his mouth" by top players. As a result, he is missing a lot of historical details about the Island of Hope that need to be explored and investigated. The history that is "fed" to him is not something he can choose at all.
However, he had heard a little about the "chaos" of this space-time channel.
Occasionally someone would talk about the [Abyss Volcano] in the chat channel, and at this time you could hear some mage players or players who have studied history discussing it. Almost all players believed that the place [Abyss Volcano] would confuse people's cognition, because both the underground forces of the Continent of Hope and the surface forces had marked the direction of the volcanic eruption here and it would never change.
However, when players take part in the trial, there are always people who line up near the [Abyss Volcano], and there are always players who deliberately get close to the volcano to observe it. However, they come to the conclusion that the eruption direction of the volcano is chaotic. No matter which era, you will never know whether the [Abyss Volcano] is erupting forward or backward, and there is no regularity, and it may even conflict with previous memories.
This place seems to be an existence independent of the world of Hope, not affected by history nor restricted by games, just like those "Them" who are high above.
This is also the only place that even the historical school has not studied clearly.
But today, after deducing the relationship between the era and the epoch, Cheng Shi suddenly had an idea in his mind and thought of a deduction that could explain this chaotic eruption phenomenon.
The records of the Island of Hope were not wrong, and the NPCs underground and on the surface did not lie. In their eyes, the [Abyss Volcano] here had indeed never changed, because what they experienced was only a fixed era in a certain era.
However, the players in the [Game of Faith] are different. They have experienced so much. When the players come to the vicinity of the [Abyss Volcano], what they see is not only the [Abyss Volcano] of a certain era, but also the [Abyss Volcano] of different eras!
So is there a possibility that the eruption direction of the [Abyss Volcano] has nothing to do with the era, but is related to the time! ?
Only in this way can we explain why in the same era and period, players can still see different directions of volcanic eruptions while NPCs firmly believe that the volcano has never changed, because although the players' eras match, the times do not match at all.
In addition, this phenomenon is too confusing, and ordinary players don’t know what the era is, so for a while, even the historical school that studies history cannot give a normal explanation!
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes. He felt that he had grasped the key, so he looked at the people in front of him again and asked them one by one about the direction of the volcanic eruption in their memory.
