The Corpse of [Silence]
Although the joy of reunion overshadowed the fear in their hearts, this was still not the time for idle chatter.
Even if this enormous Leaky World Silent Puppet is the corpse of [Silence], Cheng Shi cannot guarantee that the corpse will not pose a risk. Otherwise, why would the fake Hong Lin and the fake Cheng Shi run away so quickly?
Just to make a fool of him and the Big Cat?
Probably not.
Who would be so bored as to enjoy playing pranks on people in such a dangerous place as the True Universe? That would be incredibly immoral.
That's truly unethical.
At this very moment, those two despicable figures were standing in the distance, gazing at the Leaky World Silent Puppet. One of them was clicking his tongue, while the other's eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Tsk, plans never keep up with Change. I finally found an opportunity, but then I ran into Him..."
"Why did they both choose this direction? You have to admit, it's fate."
"The Space-Time Dolphin Bridge there has been around long enough and should have been repaired long ago, but that's not what I care about."
He has wandered through the True Universe for so many years, going wherever there is excitement. I don't believe there's no secret behind it."
The more cheerful figure, with an even brighter smile, touched his chin and said expectantly:
"Look, the whistleblower has arrived. I don't believe he can hold back."
The figure with an Indifference expression sighed slightly:
"So what if he couldn't help himself? What truth can a liar tell? Even if he knew the secret of the corpse, he might not tell us."
No, they definitely won't tell us.
"It would be great if I could go by myself."
The cheerful figure paused, then sighed softly, "Forget it, they have Lord of Grace protecting them, what are we anyway?"
On the other side.
Just as the two unscrupulous figures had predicted, Cheng Shi, who had been anxiously enduring a period of time under the shadow of the Leaky World Silent Puppet, felt his heart heat up again Cheng Shi he saw that the corpse did not pose any risk.
His gaze towards the corpse changed, becoming so bright it frightened Hong Lin.
Big Cat grabbed Cheng Shi's arm, looking surprised and suspicious. "Don't look at Him like that, you're scaring me. What are you trying to do, Cheng Shi?"
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, eager to try, and said, "Don't you want to know what kind of treasure... information is left on this corpse?"
"!!!"
What do you mean, "baby"?
I knew it! This greedy person was up to no good!
"No way!" Hong Lin rejected Cheng Shi's suggestion in an instant, and growled in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Have you forgotten how we just escaped for our lives? We were lucky not to be in any danger. How dare you provoke Him!"
Those two fakes from the True Universe have run away. We're new here, so let's not cause trouble!
Cheng Shi, we are seeking the Divine Authority of [War]. [Silence] is the opposite of [War]. It is inauspicious to offend His remains!
"?"
Seriously, you're talking to me about superstition in a world where gods are believed to have descended to earth?
Cheng Shi's gaze remained unchanged, clearly unaffected by the Big Cat.
Hong Lin grew anxious. "What happened to your prudence?!"
Cheng Shi remained steady; he was not blinded by greed, but rather had given it careful consideration.
He pointed to the corpse overhead, which almost blocked out half the universe, and analyzed it clearly:
"Think about it, even if life in the True Universe understands the True Universe far better than we do, they are still life under rules and cannot escape the cognition of the Creator's Experiment."
So we can deduce that the Creator killed [Silence], and they must have thought of it too, but they could only think of it and dared not verify it.
Because everyone knows that once you're touched by the gaze of [Origin], the only outcome is disappearance.
It is not an outlier variable in the Experiment and has no reason to exist in this Experiment.
So, do you think they'd dare approach this corpse?
The Big Cat blinked, and it took it a while to understand that Cheng Shi meant was that the two imposters ran away because they were afraid of getting involved with [Origin], not because there was any risk associated with the corpses.
But she still didn't understand. "These are all just your guesses."
Cheng Shi nodded:
"That's right, they're all guesses, but they're not guesses made out of thin air."
In the True Universe, the [Origin] signifies extreme danger, something everyone would avoid. Yet, precisely because of this, everything related to [*He] can potentially serve as camouflage for newcomers like us!
It's like someone venturing into the forest with a wild beast's urine on their back. While the dangerous act will undoubtedly attract the attention of the beast, it will also scare away any other wild animals that might have designs on it.
In the law of the jungle, it's all about who's bolder and who's tougher.
The timid get rich, the bold starve. Hong Lin, with your incredible resilience...
Dare to make a bet with me?
"?"
Hong Lin heard this logic, she was dumbfounded.
How did something that everyone avoids become a weapon in our hands?
Excuses may be useful, but they're just self-deception. Who can predict what risks and dangers might lurk on a corpse?
However, the phrase "take a gamble with me" instantly pulled Hong Lin back to that [Prosperity] Trials. It was because of that gamble that she transformed from a Mortals into the [Prosperity] Proxy she is today!
So, in this True Universe today, can this gamble allow him... to take another step forward?
For example, that person...
"..."
I can't even imagine it!
Hong Lin's expression Change several times, filled with inner turmoil and hesitation, but in the end, it all boiled down to one sentence:
What are your chances of winning?
Cheng Shi grinned. "I have no chance of winning."
"!!!" Hong Lin was so nervous she almost broke Cheng Shi's arm. "No chance of winning!? What are you betting on if you have no chance of winning!?"
Cheng Shi's eyes flickered slightly, his peripheral vision gazing into the infinite distance, and he silently thought to himself:
Bet on their curiosity!
I don't believe these two imposters weren't interested in the corpse.
If we put on a show here to attract their attention, we'll naturally find out their attitude towards the corpse, and thus know whether there's any risk or what information is hidden within it.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you any of this, because they are also liars. Once they see through your act, all this charade will be for nothing.
So I'm sorry, Big Cat, in order to fool them, I have to fool you first.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The two figures were still betting on Cheng Shi would make his move when, in the next second, they saw clouds of smoke explode beside the massive elbow of the Leaky World Silent Puppet.
Although the smoke was like a speck of dust and mold on an elbow compared to the enormous corpse, it conveniently concealed Cheng Shi and Hong Lin, making them invisible to the outside world.
Upon seeing this, the cheerful figure raised an eyebrow:
"Ha, the liar is indeed clever; he wants us to endorse his risky behavior."
Knowing my temperament, I wouldn't tolerate him.
Despite saying this, his impatient little steps betrayed his true interest.
The Indifference figure snorted softly:
"Go, why wouldn't you go?"
If he doesn't go up, who knows what's hidden up there?
If they don't speak up, then their Believer can only say, "Let's go, let him 'lie' us this once."
