Meeting Poison Again
To explain everything clearly, we have to rewind time to the time when the Poison and "Su Yida" were facing off.
A teammate who follows Cheng Shi around, hiding and unwilling to show himself, is probably not an ally. Moreover, Poison sensed a subtle "hostility" towards Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin from this person.
So, having nothing to do, she seized the opportunity to intercept this sneaky enemy, intending to relieve some of the pressure on the young Priest.
But when she faced this enemy, she realized that he was no ordinary opponent.
Indeed, in a game with so many Chosen of God, the other teammate couldn't possibly be an ordinary player, but the problem is that the opponent is just too difficult to handle.
As the pinnacle of the pinnacle, the identity of the Another Day Assassin made up for the Evil's weakness in direct attacks. However, even after so many simulations in "Another Day", the opponent was always able to see through his moves, escape from various ambushes and sneak attacks, and even have the strength to fight back.
This incredible ability to seize opportunities and his agile physical reflexes are simply not something a "Mage" should possess.
Indeed, the other party has not revealed their identity and is still clumsily playing the role of a "Mage," manipulating those non-existent illusions, seemingly trying to deceive me.
After several rounds of combat, Poison finally realized that he was not facing a [Time] Believer disguised as Mage, but a master of another Faith who had merged with [Time].
Furthermore, considering the other person's flexibility and reflexes, the most likely candidate is Acrobat!
An Acrobat blessed by the Pointer Knight?
No wonder he's so powerful.
But what if the young Priest is followed by a conman...? What is the conman's intention?
Who can fool that conman, the young Priest?
Poison wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that this was likely not Cheng Shi's enemy, but rather part of Cheng Shi's plan. So she stopped what she was doing and, pretending nothing had happened, asked the other party:
"The little Priest's helper is indeed impressive. May I ask his name?"
Su Yida was also extremely puzzled. He knew he had been exposed. A half-baked Master of Trickery played by a [Memory] prop could not possibly withstand the Poison. He had gone all out and could not possibly lose, but he did not win either.
But they lost at least in terms of disguise, since they exposed all their methods.
Long Jing certainly recognized Poison, but none of the Poison he knew were this potent.
In the past, Long Jing rarely came into contact with Poison, not because he couldn't defeat it, but because he kept his distance from [Filth and Decay]. But today's Poison was clearly not a purely evil being; it even possessed the power of [Time]!
That's strange, when did "[Time]" become so commonplace?
My [Time] is guided by the personal guidance of Lord Foolish Play, and bestowed with the appreciation of Master [Hour Hand]. It is the most orthodox [Time]. You can't compare to me in that respect, can you?
Poison was also thinking about this.
Guided by the Fool's Game trick, she finally found the method to merge [Time] with Afros. What incredible luck did this Acrobat have?
There aren't many Acrobat who can get into this kind of situation. Considering the various twisted and complicated relationships among the swindlers that are circulating outside, Poison seemed to understand something and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Are you President Gong?"
Long Jing coughed lightly twice. "Ahem, long time no see, Miss Devil has made rapid progress."
"Likewise." Poison's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly, "Are you following the master like this to repay a debt of gratitude?"
"?" Long Jing was stunned. "What sir?"
"You don't know?" Poison feigned surprise, covering her mouth slightly. "Then I won't say anything."
"..."
Is your original surname Cheng or Zhen?
Long Jing was speechless. He was inexplicably chased down and beaten, and the other party even wanted to play the riddle-solver. Did they really think President Gong was easy to bully?
He assumed a fighting stance, his gaze hardening as he said, "Speak, or let's continue our demonstration."
She naturally refused to accept Poison. She looked towards the spot where Cheng Shi disappeared, pondered for a moment, and then looked up and said:
"Are you together?"
"Stop talking nonsense, either get to the point or take action."
"Don't rush, why are you so hasty?"
"I have a plan. If you help me arrange to meet the young Priest, I'll let you know what kind of person he is, and I'll also tell you a great secret about [Filth and Decay]. How about it?"
"?"
Long Jing's pupils contracted as she looked at the Poison: "Are you serious?"
"I'm not a liar. Besides, do you think I could fool you, President Gong?"
Ah, indeed.
Long Jing agreed.
And that's how this scene came about.
The two actors put on a very rough performance and didn't intend to fool anyone. They were just looking for an excuse to summon Cheng Shi. Anyone who believed them would be a fool, and anyone who saw them would feel awkward.
So when the man in the black robe, "Su Yida," saw two people arrive, he said in a strange tone, "Didn't I only send you alone?"
The Poison, who was bound beside him, initially showed a hint of joy upon seeing someone arrive, but then his face paled, his eyes reddened, and he turned his head away, forcing back a sob as he cried out:
"Young Priest, get out of here!"
Don't worry about me, he's too strong, you're no match for him. You need to leave quickly, get out of here! Go!
"Oh."
Cheng Shi was quite far away, listened to the advice and immediately turned around and left.
Cheng Shi's decisive attitude stunned Zhang Jizu. He narrowed his eyes, certain that Cheng Shi would return. To avoid wasting his efforts, he stood still and lazily stayed put.
This scene still left "Su Yida" and the Poison completely bewildered.
"?"
Su Yida's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, muttering to himself, "Is this what you call a close relationship?"
"..."
Poison was slightly taken aback, but quickly lay on the ground and laughed.
"As expected of a young Priest."
"That's right, I told him to leave and he left. Isn't that a close relationship?"
"!!!"
"Su Yida" was furious. "Poison! We set him up, we're not putting on Stage Clown act to make him laugh! Call him back!"
Poison's eyes darted around, unable to suppress a laugh, "Fine, fine, I'll call him back, but could you please stop talking to me with your ass?"
"???"
Su Yida whirled around, gritting his teeth as he said, "This is ventriloquism! Ventriloquism!!!"
"Then I don't want to talk to your stomach either." Poison broke free of the ropes binding her hands, stood up without even pretending, waved to Zhang Jizu in the distance, and then waved towards the mound Cheng Shi had turned around from, saying:
"Young Priest, I know you haven't left. I have something here that might interest you."
Come, take me away. Let's find a secluded place to whisper secrets. I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.
It turned out that the person who arranged to meet Cheng Shi was not Su Yida, but Poison.
Unfortunately, Tuqiu didn't react to such a straightforward invitation, Zhang Jizu stood still, and "Su Yida" looked constipated.
Seeing that Cheng Shi ignored her, Poison's eyes darted around, and she laughed again, "If you don't come out, I'll make you look like a fool..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shadow Cheng Shi appeared behind Poison without warning.
As the top Assassin in this game, Poison's senses are exceptionally sharp. The moment she noticed someone approaching, her Dance With Me pierced the opponent's heart, and she sank into the shadows.
Halfway through the stab, when she realized that the black thing behind her actually carried Cheng Shi's aura, she was startled. She turned the Daggers 180 degrees and stabbed it into her own shoulder. Then, with a cry of "Ah!", she took the opportunity to fall into Shadow Cheng Shi's arms.
Shadow Cheng Shi, expressionless, stepped aside, letting Poison fall to the ground. Only after the dust settled did he cover her mouth and then say softly:
I have not done Foolish Deed.
You can't even begin to describe my Foolish Deed.
Poison blinked slightly, a smile playing on her lips, which could be interpreted as agreement with Cheng Shi's statement.
But no one present was stupid; they knew that the "foolishness" she used was definitely not the foolishness of Foolish Deed.
At this point in the farce, the "Su Yida" persona could no longer be maintained. Long Jing glanced at the two men on the ground with disdain, thinking, "I don't need you to find a secluded place. I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay?"
You can talk about whatever you want; I can't stay here any longer.
That's disgusting.
"He--tui!"
Su Yida walked away with his head held high and an air of arrogance, not forgetting to add a comment as he passed Zhang Jizu:
"Just because you have small eyes doesn't mean you're completely blind. Are you leaving or not?"
"?"
Zhang Jizu watched the whole thing and felt that this "Su Yida" didn't seem like the enemy Cheng Shi was talking about, but rather like a lively "Clown" in Clown.
He squinted, nodded, turned around and walked alongside "Su Yida." After taking a few steps, he smiled and asked:
"Su Yida?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name?"
"Long Jing," Zhang Jizu said with a squinting smile, completely ignoring the person beside him who had slightly paused in their steps, "You could also be called Clown, because I'm extremely good at making people laugh."
