After a trial, Long Jing returned to the lounge area. He immediately noticed something unusual in the theater and leaned over in the aisle of the auditorium to pick up a white paper airplane.
"It's new today, but this method of delivering messages is too old-fashioned...
Let me see which old friend has reminded me of me."
He unfolded the paper plane with great interest and found that it was an invitation letter. The letterhead was his name, in the middle was an invitation to a meeting and how to attend the meeting, and the signature was...
Cheng Shi! ?
At this moment, even though the invitation letter did not state the purpose of the gathering, the word "clown" once again popped into Longjing's mind.
There may be more than just the clown at the gathering that can be associated with Cheng Shi, but the only thing Long Jing can think of is the clown!
Although he did not know about the Clown from Cheng Shi in this world, Long Jing knew that the Clown in this world must be related to Cheng Shi.
But since the specific content of the invitation was not specified, the cautious Long Jing was afraid that this was another trap, and even more afraid that someone was testing him through this invitation.
After all, what Cheng Shi said during that simulation was so scary that, under his influence, Long Jing's mentality towards participating in the trial has changed recently, and the way he looks at his teammates around him has become somewhat different from usual.
President Gong has a dream of becoming a god, or it can be said that all top players want to get something in this [Game of Faith], and the only way to fulfill their wishes is to get close to them or to become them.
It’s just that many people are not as fanatical as the God Worshipping Society, but it is undeniable that becoming a god is indeed the biggest temptation.
But at that moment, when Long Jing learned that becoming a god might be just a pipe dream, and even gods might not be truly worthy of being called gods, he began to look at the game from another perspective, and even regarded himself as an "observer" outside the world. He felt a little ridiculous when he saw his teammates running around and sacrificing their lives for piety in the game.
But the most ridiculous thing is undoubtedly my past self.
However, even though he had this thought, Long Jing did not completely give up on this [Game of Faith]. At least he was still very interested in the clown organization that Cheng Shi mentioned in another world.
According to what the other party said, the Clown will be one of the few hopes left in this world, and because Longjing from another world has made enough contributions to the Clown, it will "benefit" himself in this world, allowing him to know the "truth of the world" in advance.
Therefore, after the fusion of faiths, he has been looking for news about the Harlequin.
The vicissitudes of life Cheng Shi did not specify who the clown was, but the simplest idea is that Cheng Shi himself must be one of the clowns, so Longjing has been looking for Cheng Shi recently, but his actions were too obvious and his luck was a little bad, so he didn't meet him in more than ten trials.
But he was sure that there would always be an opportunity, but he never expected that this opportunity would come to him on its own.
In fact, when Long Jing saw the letter, he thought of Master Yuxi. He did not forget that Master Yuxi also acted out real roles, so he wondered if this was an invitation from God?
But since he removed some of the filters of God, he didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about stupid plays as before.
However, before you become them, or before you are able to compete with them, you still have to show due respect. This has nothing to do with piety, but is a way of survival.
As smart as Longjing is, he did not jump to conclusions so easily. Instead, he carefully looked at the invitation letter again and again, trying to find more information besides the text on it to determine whether it was a real invitation or a false temptation.
Not long after, he really discovered the clue.
Incense ash!
Longjing discovered a few drops of incense ash in the writing on the paper airplane that were barely noticeable to ordinary people!
Although the incense ash pressed on the paper by the handwriting is as fine as dust, it can already explain a lot.
In this day when the gods have descended, although some people have been assigned to various temples, the offerings to those old objects in the past have long been discontinued, so this seemingly fresh incense ash has undoubtedly become the key clue to determine the source of the invitation.
Who would touch incense at this time, or even accidentally put the incense ash in the air on paper...
There may be many answers, but Long Jing's intuition tells him that there is one person who is most likely to be the answer:
Dragon King Li Jingming!
So this invitation letter was not sent by Cheng Shi at all, but by Li Jingming!
He definitely didn't pretend to be Cheng Shi to continue Sandles' absurd farce. This Dragon King was most likely testing him. As for whether the content of the test was the clown or something else...
Long Jing chuckled and rolled up the invitation letter and put it in his arms.
He accepted the "challenge". Yes, for him it was not an invitation but a challenge.
He did not forget that in the trial in Sandres, the Dragon King had deceived him all the way. Although the identities of the two were almost revealed in the end, this "revenge"... If he didn't trick him back, how could he be worthy of this second belief that he had merged with?
Dragon King, Dragon King, times are advancing. Do you think you are the only one who has two beliefs?
No, I also have it, and it is also [nothingness] and [existence], so how can your temptation of me not become my temptation of you?
Since we are all liars, let’s show our true colors in deception.
...
The agreed time soon arrived. Long Jing looked at himself in the mirror, no, Li Jingming in the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and then put on a black robe and a mask. After leaving enough time for resurrection in the rest area, he held the ceremony as agreed and entered the so-called gathering place.
It was a void, which was normal. After all, all the players' meeting places were in the void. It was just that different hosts dressed up the void in different ways. And this time...
No, the Dragon King buried all the people he killed here?
Otherwise, where would there be so many tombstones?
Isn't this place too dark?
It was indeed the underworld, because what Longjing saw was a vast group of tombstones. Countless tombstones were lined up in rows, covering the entire space. Sporadic phosphorescent lights were flickering in the endless darkness, which was creepy to look at.
In the center of this group of tombstones, there is a circular open space with a stone chandelier hanging above it. The dim light illuminates a figure. This person is dressed exactly like Longjing, wearing a mask and a black robe. He just sits on a tombstone in the front row. When he hears the voice, he slowly turns his head to look at him.
For a moment, Longjing's scalp felt slightly numb and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
But he had seen even more hellish scenes before, so the acrobat quickly regained his composure and cautiously moved towards the center of the tomb complex.
The figure in the distance became clearer and clearer as he got closer. The other person's body was completely obscured, and it was impossible to tell who it was. However, Long Jing had already thought of a way to test it.
Since the Dragon King invited you to this meeting, if you say hello and say "Li Jingming is invited", how will you respond?
Thinking of this, Long Jing began to laugh in his heart.
