After losing all his backup plans, Cheng Shiben no longer had any backup plan.
All five thunderbolts were used up, and the Mask of Destiny also lost the opportunity to switch warriors. Even under Avros's "expectation", he did not dare to activate the Redemption of the Sinner again...
So he could only scare Lin Xi and let the other party's fear recharge his ring again.
Now it seems that the effect is very good. Lin Xi has filled up five levels by himself.
Coupled with the fading strength of [Decay], even if he is now in the form of a clown, he can still fight with Lin Xi in front of him again.
However, when he saw that the ultimate move of the envoy he had hidden all the way failed to take away Cheng Shi, Lin Xi had lost all his spirit and completely turned into a "rotten wood".
Of course, outsiders don't know whether this is influenced by Chun's death. In short, based on what Cheng Shi has seen...
A rotten wood rots.
It's funny to say that a player who always flaunts his piety has found his true self at this moment and turned back into the confused boy he once was.
However, no matter in terms of image or mentality, Lin Xi can no longer be associated with the word "young man".
He was no longer obsessed with his piety, nor did he regard Cheng Shi as the target of the oracle's eradication. He just lay on the ground motionless, his empty eyes looking up at the cloudless sky, wondering whether he was thinking about the meaning of life or reminiscing about the "unbearable" past.
To be honest, Cheng Shi had never tasted such complex emotions in a person's expression. He didn't even need to get close. Just a glance from a distance told him that Lin Xi wanted nothing more than to decay at this moment.
Ironically, having been deprived of his belief in [Decay], Lin Xi couldn't even decay himself. So after a long silence, Lin Xi turned his head with difficulty, stared at Cheng Shi with a pair of eyes that already contained a death wish, and said tremblingly:
"Why are we...alive?"
Cheng Shi could feel that Lin Xi's emotions were bursting forth at the end of his life, but that didn't mean he would feel the same way.
So after hearing this meaningless and confused question, Cheng Shi sneered:
"laugh--
Do you think about the meaning of life now?
Lin Xi, ah Lin Xi, you can't just wake up and repent when you are frustrated. Don't act so pitiful. I still like your rebellious side. "
"......" Lin Xi's confusion was obviously interrupted for a moment by these sarcastic words, but he had long lost his anger and just repeated the question dully again.
Cheng Shi frowned slightly and gave him an answer casually: "To survive."
"To stay alive? Ha, ha, ha, but what's the meaning of living?" As he said this, Lin Xi started crying. Two lines of dirty tears flowed from the eyes of this executioner who had slaughtered countless players and even regarded life as worthless.
However, Cheng Shi was not moved at all, nor could he empathize with him. He even stabbed him in the heart when he was most confused and desperate.
"Of course your life has no meaning, because betrayal has deprived you of the meaning of your own life.
Lin Xi, don't forget, you didn't earn your life yourself."
"I didn't betray you!!!" Lin Xi suddenly sat up and roared hysterically at Cheng Shi, "What I hate most in my life is betrayal! She betrayed me! Chun betrayed me!"
His eyes sometimes flashed with memories and tenderness, and sometimes with anger and hatred. This sparsely haired Plague Cardinal tore at his few hairs like a madman, roaring like a madman:
"In order to save her own life, she abandoned her faith, betrayed her lover, and switched sides to [Prosperity]. Did she ever think that one day she would die before me?!
She deserves this! She deserves this!!”
Lin Xi's voice was hoarse, but gradually his tone became lower and lower, "She deserves it..."
He kept repeating these words, as if trying to numb himself and dispel his hatred.
Cheng Shi frowned, he could see that Lin Xi's reaction was not fake, so Chun's redemption of her lover ended up being a betrayal in Lin Xi's eyes.
It’s no wonder that the two of them have been fighting from that time to now and hate each other so much.
Facing an [Annihilation] believer who came to hunt him down because of an oracle, Cheng Shiben had no obligation to clarify anything for Lin Xi. He had never explained Garuda's love to Lele'er, not to mention that it was just a mortal's self-trouble at the moment.
But thinking of Chun's trust in him, Cheng Shi sighed and finally said:
"Have you ever thought that she was saving you?"
"Save? Hahaha, save me?" Lin Xi, who had a confused look in his eyes just now, suddenly had a distorted expression. He stared at Cheng Shi and scratched his scalp until it was covered with blood. "Master Weaver, tell me, the so-called rescue means stabbing me in the heart!?
Did you know that dagger nearly killed me!?
If it weren't for the mercy of the Lord, I would have died in her hands long ago. Is this salvation?!
Ha, hahahaha, if this is salvation, I would rather die in the shadow of the septicemic grave. At least in that way, I still have the people who love me in my memory..."
Sure enough, this was an inexplicable misunderstanding.
Ordinary people cannot fathom the will of [Decay], but Cheng Shi, who has faced [Decay] directly, knows that perhaps it was Chun who pushed Lin Xi to the brink of death, which made their benefactor, who was also a "poor man", feel pity for Lin Xi, just as He also expected that the decay of the universe would make [Him] feel pity for Himself.
