Cheng Shi even opened his eyes after returning to the rooftop, cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.

He was nervous because he was thinking about a problem:

If...

I mean, what if you demolished your neighbor's house and beat up their child, but instead of getting angry, your neighbor gave you ten thousand yuan...

What do you think He wants to do?

"..."

Cheng Shi's first reaction was: Oh no, my last meal is coming.

He jumped up from the rooftop with a start, not even responding to Xie Yang's greeting from the other side, and ran into the warehouse, covering himself with all the Mask.

Then he began chanting scriptures over the Dice in his hand:

"Lord of Grace protect us, Lord of Grace protect us."

I didn't do anything.

It was all caused by your collection.

That little brat is wicked, always causing trouble, and she even killed the Today's Warrior! You are a person of high moral character, you must do justice for me, I am at most an accomplice!

"His crime doesn't warrant death!"

But after all that talking, nothing happened.

Cheng Shi sensed something was wrong and gradually stopped.

He listened An Jing Ear a while, and found that everything around him was normal, with no signs of an audience with the gods. So he frowned deeply.

"Um?

Didn't come?

Or was the prayer effective, but was it blocked by the Lord of Grace?

It can't be that the prostitute changed her nature...

The moment the idea popped into his head, Cheng Shi quickly lowered his head and recited another passage of scripture.

"..."

It's too difficult; I simply can't stop thinking about it.

After a few anxious minutes, Cheng Shi saw that nothing had happened, and his previously hunched back straightened up again.

It seems the problem has been solved.

Praise for [Deception]!

I don't know how my Lord of Grace saved me.

In short, since they haven't come for so long, they should be safe.

He let out a long sigh, put the Mask back on the shelves one by one, forced a smile, and prepared to leave the warehouse.

I just saw the Sea King on the other side looking flustered, so now I need to come up with a better excuse.

Otherwise, my aloof image would be completely ruined.

But when Cheng Shi pushed open the warehouse door and stepped out, he discovered that the outside of that door was no longer the rooftop where he was, but a...

The familiar office.

The office was bustling with people, noisy and chaotic.

Old Wang is trading stocks, Brother Cao is watching a game, Sister Wu is tilting her head back to show off her new necklace to her colleagues, and Little Li is holding her phone with a flushed face, clearly chatting with her boyfriend.

And myself...

Yes, there's another version of myself in the office, fast asleep at my desk.

Everything before his eyes was so real that Cheng Shi felt as if he had traveled back in Cheng Shi.

This timeframe suggests that he came for his internship before graduating.

As for why it was so easy to tell, it's because when Cheng Shi graduated and actually started working, Brother Cao and Sister Wu were both fired for having an affair in the office.

Unfortunately... I arrived a day late and missed out on the freshest melon.

This matter has always been a regret in his heart.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi smiled knowingly.

But then, he couldn't laugh anymore.

When your Memory unfold before you as if from another time, you can probably guess who has come.

"..."

[Memory].

For Cheng Shi, it was an existence that was hardly better than Destiny.

Why [Memory]?

If it's not Destiny, if it's not Lord of Grace, even if it's Birth, Filth and Decay, or even war, he can understand.

How can it be "Memory"?

Just because he survived last time, he came in person this time?

How could I possibly deserve the personal attention of a deity?

My Lord of Grace, won't you help me?

Did He come with [Destiny]?

The Lord of Grace blocked [Destiny], but [Memory] managed to find a loophole?

Damn... it's not impossible.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's face turned pale, and his palms began to sweat as he gripped the warehouse door.

He didn't dare to move, glancing around the entire office out of the corner of his eye, trying to find His figure.

But how could Cheng Shi possibly find Him when He didn't want to show himself?

Having searched in vain Cheng Shi swallowed hard and began to carefully close the door.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Since I didn't see you, then pretend I was never here.

Thinking this, he closed the door faster and faster.

When sweat soaked through his back, the warehouse door was finally sealed shut.

"Call--"

Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to run without hesitation.

There is a window in the back wall of the warehouse, which is used to maneuver around unexpected enemies.

I don't know if it will work on God, but it's okay, I'll just run first.

But just as Cheng Shi took his first step, he was shocked to find that the warehouse behind him had somehow been turned into that office.

Old Wang turned off the stock trading app, Brother Cao turned off the screen, Sister Wu clutched her stomach and pretended to run to the toilet, and Little Li was so scared that he hid his phone.

And myself...

Still sleeping.

The reason all this happened was, of course, because the boss had arrived. The owner of this family business was a rich second-generation heir who was preparing to inherit the family business.

Before starting work, he didn't even know that his family owned such a small company.

The company's entire annual output is less than his monthly allowance, so he only goes to work sporadically, checking in only when he's in a good mood.

But even if they're just going through the motions, they still need to be disciplined if any employees are slacking off.

So he woke Cheng Shi up.

It wasn't the one sleeping, but the one standing at the door, trembling.

"Cheng Shi".

When the boss called out his name with a stern face, Cheng Shi almost lost his footing.

This wasn't his boss's voice, but a neutral voice he'd never heard before, yet it was incredibly realistic.

It's obvious that only an being possessing such Divine Majesty power, capable of transforming their own reality into another form of existence, could be...

[Memory]!

He actually stood before me in this way!

Cheng Shi was a little dazed. He instinctively forced a smile, but didn't know what to say.

Last words?

I haven't decided yet.

Call?

It's good enough that they don't curse, why the hell do they need to greet me?

"..."

Since I don't know what to say, I'll just fake a smile.

After all, I'm serious about faking a smile.

Looking at the serious-looking "boss" in front of him, Cheng Shi's heart pounded like a drum.

Now, the immense pressure of having to meet the "gods" and the enormous stress of meeting the boss have been combined into one.

What a prosperous world!

Cheng Shi was only stunned for a moment, then he quickly bowed and apologized:

"I'm sorry, boss, I promise I won't sleep during work hours anymore."

The "boss" looked with great interest at Cheng Shi, who was trying his best to hide his panic, and suddenly laughed.

"Do you think this is a dream?"

"Uh... is that right?"

Cheng Shi an awkward laugh, then quickly closed his eyes, trying to play dumb.

But just as he was about to close his eyes tightly, he suddenly realized that his eyelids wouldn't obey him.

?

"Your eyes are filled with His image, and your voice echoes with His voice. You are a born liar, just like your Lord of Grace."

Haha, are you praising someone or insulting them?

Should I laugh or cry?

Just Cheng Shi was contorting his expression, unsure how to respond, [Memory] spoke again.

"There is no need to panic. Although I have different views from His will, I will not use this position to make things difficult for His Believer."

You are also one of the pieces I selected for my collection. I'm just curious, why has such a small piece of my collection brought me so much trouble?

"..."

When you say that Believer don't make things difficult for others, do you mean they randomly go to other Believer's homes and point Believer at them?

You're so forgiving!

Cheng Shi remained silent, as if at this moment he was no longer a follower of "Deception" but Believer "silence".

Are you scared?

Interesting, this is different from the you I know.

I told you, I have no intention of making things difficult for you; you don't need to be so alarmed.

Hearing [Memory], the [god] who faithfully records everything, repeatedly lie to his face, Cheng Shi could no longer hold back.

He muttered to himself:

"You... you... are already in a difficult position."

[Memory] He laughed, no, or rather, the boss laughed, which is more in line with the current scene.

He touched his chin thoughtfully, and his two dark pupils vanished instantly.

Less than two seconds later, it flipped back over.

This horrifying scene sent a chill down Cheng Shi.

"I see. Hmm, it seems you've misunderstood me."

"?"

"I don't need to explain to you, but your Lord of Grace is just too annoying. My constant tolerance of Him is really bothering me."

So, I decided to give Him some trouble too.

The matter is actually quite simple; it all started because a swindler sneaked into my Memory Archive.

After saying that, the boss snapped his fingers.

Everything around him changed instantly. Cheng Shi felt as if he had fallen into the ocean and was floating in a sea of countless bubbles, completely at a loss.

Shortly afterward, a pair of familiar eyes opened before him.

Lord of Grace!

This look carries a mocking, Nothingness gaze: There is no other god but Him!

He has come to save me!?

Cheng Shi was overjoyed.

He saw his Lord of Grace wink at him, and then countless bubbles in the ocean burst open, only to instantly reform.

Following His gaze, in the very center of His vision, there was a bubble that had changed from its previous dreamy transparency to a blurry one.

If you look closely now, you'll see that the image inside the bubble is vaguely reflected...

One's own body shape.

!??

So it was just Memory?

Cheng Shi's heart sank back to rock bottom...

"Did you see that?"

You, Cheng Shi, at this moment, have become a nascent Believer in [Chaos], Ultraman.

!!

Cheng Shi put it back, but his mind went blank.

Ah?
