Long Jing stood there trembling, his brain spinning wildly.
He was never a player who would sit and wait for death, especially after encountering the first crisis of audience with God in his life. He tried his best to come back to his senses from the blank consciousness and began to wonder if this was a test from Lord Yuxi.
After all, in the last trial, he had "accomplished nothing" except finding an ear of Master Yuxi, and Master's promise to integrate his faith and prayers was so straightforward, which made Longjing wonder whether Master had placed the real test on the current [time] platform.
So under the double pressure of the survival crisis and the stupid test questions, Long Jing, who was under excessive pressure, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he actually came up with a win-win solution to the problem.
He pursed his lips, bowed again, and withdrew one hand behind his back to fiddle with it for a moment. Then he raised his head and pretended to be calm as he spoke to the clock hand in front of him:
"My Lord, I think you misunderstood.
I was summoned here with no intention of profaning time, and a lowly acrobat would not dare to blaspheme God in this way.
I'm not aware that there is a slight misunderstanding between you and Lord Yuxi, but as a devout follower of [Fraud] and as a person who is full of longing for the great [Time], I am willing to make some small efforts to ease the relationship between the two of you.
I also hope that you can let go of the past and look to the future together with [Fraud]. "
As he spoke, he quietly stretched out the hand behind his back, then opened his palm and displayed a slender second hand in his palm in front of Cheng Shi.
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned.
He carefully observed the second hand on Longjing's palm for a moment and found that it was an ordinary and unattractive second hand, and it was very likely that the other party had just removed it from behind him.
What does this mean?
Do you really think that the fool stole a second hand like this?
Cheng Shi's expression suddenly became strange.
Okay, okay, Longjing, Longjing, your idea is really unique. Even if you stole this ordinary second hand, but you disassembled "time" on the platform of [Time]. If the real owner knew about it... you would really be committing blasphemy!
Fortunately, everything here is fake, and your blasphemy against [time] may really be considered a different kind of "piety" in the eyes of the God of Fun.
I didn't expect that you would "win" by accident.
But Cheng Shi was not ready to "let" Long Jing go so easily. Instead, he suppressed his smile and said coldly again:
"【Time】is the combination of the past, present and future. You asked me to let go of the past. Are you trying to steal my Lord's authority on behalf of your benefactor 【Fraud】?"
"???"
This angle is something I've never thought of even if I tried my best!
No, sir, why are you so stubborn?
The smile on Long Jing's face froze, but before he could come up with a second set of words, Lord Shizhen spoke again.
"You disassembled the clock and showed me the second hand. Could it be that you wanted to replace the foolish play and return the second hand that He stole to me?
Humph, ridiculous.
Do you know what He stole?"
"......"
"Very well, since you don't know, how dare you use an ordinary second hand to pay for the mistake that you made to me?
Acrobat, are you insulting me with this clumsy circus?"
“…No!”
Long Jing was anxious. He knew that if he did not protest and allowed Lord Shizhen to continue to judge him, his crime would be extremely serious. So he quickly organized his words and defended himself:
"As a humble Nothingness Walker, I certainly don't know what your lost second hand represents, but no matter what it represents, it shows that Master Yuxi has a heart that wants to get closer to Time!
Otherwise He would not have taken that second hand from you without asking.
Perhaps it is because He knows that His reputation in the eyes of the world cannot convince you, so He has to adopt this somewhat misleading approach to prove to you His eagerness to become your friend.
That's why I said this was a misunderstanding. Master Clock and Master Fool had no ill intentions, and I am full of longing for [Time]!"
"?"
After hearing this, Cheng Shi secretly praised and almost applauded Long Jing for his quick wit.
As expected of him being the second follower of the God of Fun, his talking skills are almost as good as mine.
But Cheng Shi’s expression was still “bad”.
"Humph, even so, this is not an excuse for you to use the second hand in your hand as compensation!"
"No, sir, you misunderstood." Seeing that the tense situation had eased, Long Jing quickly pinched the second hand and explained solemnly, "This is not compensation to you, but a promise to you.
I don’t know what the second hand taken away by Master Yuxi represents, but I know that every second hand in this world represents devotion to the great [time]!
I show you this second hand as a promise to you for my yearning for [time]. I promise that after I return and see Master Yuxi, I will do my best to persuade him to personally clarify this misunderstanding to you.
What is opposed to my Lord [Fraud] is [Memory], not [Time]. You and Lord Fool have no basis for opposing beliefs, and there is no need for any conflict, right?
In addition, what our Lord wanted was never to steal power, but rather a collaboration.
Why else would He answer my prayers and send me here when I prayed to Him?
So, Mr. Clock, the player in front of you, Longjing, came with a sincere heart. I am seeking the attention of [Time], and I also dare to ask you to give the confused [Nothingness] walker practical [Existence] guidance on the road of faith fusion! "
