Su Yida scrambled to his feet in a second and quickly retreated.
Death is too terrible; he doesn't want to experience it again.
The suffocating despair still lingered in his mind, to the point that his struggling movements were somewhat distorted and deformed.
Even though he was completely powerless, he still retreated frantically until he had nowhere left to go. He leaned against the corner of the wall, and then, trembling with fear, he looked at the puppet that had made the sound.
It was just a puppet?
Su Yida immediately thought of a puppeteer, but the problem was that the followers of [Silence] wouldn't speak so openly, at least he had never seen one. And there were too many other associations related to puppets... His mind was in such a mess that he couldn't figure out the other person's identity for the time being.
He could only ask nervously, "Who...are you?"
The puppet didn't care about Su Yida's reaction. He jumped off the experimental table, bowed slightly, and introduced himself:
"Wei Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
who!?
Wei Mu! ! ?
The top-ranked player on the path to godhood, known by players as the mastermind behind the scenes who is closest to the gods, is Wei Mu!
Su Yida was stunned. He asked incredulously, "You...you're with them?"
Clearly, the previous deaths had terrified the master of trickery.
The puppet shook its head expressionlessly:
"No, you were just blinded by fear. Otherwise, you should have been able to see that I saved you, not that I harmed you."
You are very bold.
To be honest, with your skills and abilities, you'd most likely be at a disadvantage against one of them.
Yet you dared to fight five against one, even with an uncertain future, coming here solely out of a 'desire to become a god'...
All I can say is, no wonder the solution chose you; your unique, twisted drive for desire is indeed a valuable trait for experimentation.
"?"
What is this puppet babbling about?
Su Yida was stunned.
He admitted that under the stimulation of death, his consciousness was abnormally chaotic and he had difficulty understanding everything in the present moment. But why did this chaos not stop? Why did he feel more and more confused and lost? And why were his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and even his vision becoming blurry?
Su Yida isn't stupid, but it depends on who he's comparing himself to.
In front of Wei Mu, the shrewd master of trickery was as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
He didn't even understand why Wei Mu had saved him before he completely lost consciousness in Wei Mu's laboratory.
Yes, this is a laboratory.
The puppet watched as Su Yida slowly closed his eyes, then nodded and said:
"The dosage is just right. Next, we should analyze how to escape from this starry sky."
As he spoke, the puppet climbed onto the experimental table and began to operate it.
A series of roars echoed through the vast laboratory as countless experimental devices began to operate, displaying a wealth of data. Everything proceeded smoothly until...
"boom--"
A violent and distorted spacetime fluctuation exploded without warning in front of the experimental table. Immediately afterwards, countless experimental devices began to make strange noises, sparking as if they were being interfered with by electromagnetic interference. Warning sounds rose and fell, and the scene was in chaos.
Amidst this chaotic chaos, a disheveled figure was pushed off the time portal and landed directly in front of the puppet.
He didn't notice the puppet's presence immediately because his back was to it, but when he saw that the person lying on the ground in front of him was the master of trickery, he felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head sharply.
Then he met a pair of emotionless eyes.
Wei Mu!!!
It's actually Wei Mu!!!
The figure's pupils constricted, and he froze on the spot.
The puppet was quite surprised by this, but he quickly let out a soft "oh," as if he had instantly understood everything.
"I always knew there was something wrong with your identity, but I never imagined the root of the problem was here."
No wonder He said my foolishness was about to begin; it turns out I too have been locked in this predetermined cage.
I'm sure you understand now; seeing me here is quite a surprise, isn't it...? What's the solution?
That's right, the one that fell from the space-time tunnel was the very Jie Shu who had just disappeared on the mountaintop.
Jie Shu never expected to see Wei Mu here. He knew what this meant, so he gave a self-deprecating laugh and lowered his proud head.
Those who laugh at others will eventually laugh at themselves; even the wisest man, who plans a thousand times over, will ultimately stumble.
To explain all this, we need to start with the experimental purpose of the solution.
Cheng Shi guessed half right; Jie Shu was indeed not without roots, but he himself did not know where his roots lay!
In his earliest memories, he woke up in the real universe with a master of trickery by his side. His limited memories told him that during the escape before the world's destruction, he used every means possible to escape the disaster. Although he survived, his memories were fragmented.
His remaining memories tell him that he is looking for a world without Cheng Shi, and the master of trickery by his side is the key to his search for that safe world. The reason he does this is because the Weaver of Fate represents destruction, and all the starry skies where he exists eventually collapse.
As a wise man who believes in "foolishness," if he realizes that his own memory is disordered, he will never believe the remaining memories, because memories are easily faked, especially to "experimental subjects."
Jie Shu knew this well, so he remained skeptical of everything in his memory, even though the fragmented memories of the master of trickery could corroborate his own.
As he drifted through the real universe, he witnessed the destruction of countless worlds, and the destruction of each world was somehow related to the Fate Weaver...
