The Damn Game, You Can't Get Anywhere in It

The Fate Weaver, the Priest of Destiny, the Walker of Nothingness.

That makes sense now.

Why is Cheng Shi's aura favored by the Void? Because he is, in essence, a traveler of Nothingness.

At least in this respect, it couldn't be more true.

A hint of "as expected" flashed in Bai Fei's eyes, and then she silently walked in a certain direction.

Like a scout surveying the distance before battle, she has entered her role and begun searching for a route.

She had nothing to talk about with Cheng Shi and the other person; if she were to talk to them, it would only be with Grand Marshal Hu Wei.

She's here to collaborate, not to act as a confidante.

Hu Wei did not restrict Bai Fei's actions. He knew that the two had a common goal, so he let her go.

Yan Chun was not smug at all because he had seen through the identity of a 2400 big shot. He cautiously retreated, not wanting to have a conflict with Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi saw everything, smiled, and said nothing.

They're all bad people anyway, come on, let's scam them together!

Hu Wei meaningfully returned the Dice to Cheng Shi. Knowing that the two had doubts, he smiled, patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder, and began to explain to them.

"Brother, I understand you. Everyone has many identities."

I recognize you as a person, not as some kind of incinerator.

I know what you want to ask, and I'm not trying to hide it from you, but before we found that thing, I myself didn't know what was there.

Only when you find it and see it will you know what it means.

However, I can reveal a little bit: what we are looking for comes from a prophecy by a Believer in "Destiny."

As he spoke, Hu Wei looked at Cheng Shi and continued.

"She shares your Faith and is a blind Prophet; we like to call her, the Blind Man."

She pointed us in a direction, and we wanted to see what lay at the end of that direction.

Cheng Shi was puzzled and asked:

"Direction? What direction?"

I've heard that many "Chosen of God" are losing points and declining in rank. Brother Hu, the "we" you're referring to wouldn't be...

All the "Chosen of God"?

Hu Wei a smile.

"Yes. Everyone knows about the prophecy, but as for how they know..."

Actually, it belongs to the same category of "Nothingness" as you...

Sigh, never mind, you probably don't even know her with your scores, so let's not mention her, it's bad luck.

In short, everyone believed that the Blind Man had truly seen through Destiny this time, so we came.

Who else belongs to the category of "Nothingness"?

Deception?

Cheng Shi frowned, thinking to himself:

If it's about "Destiny," then Hu Wei doesn't seem to need to say that.

Does he mean that a Deception Believer told them all about the prophecy of "Chosen of God" originating from Believer of "Destiny"?

Who would casually share a prophecy that even the "Chosen of God" care about?

This isn't just... sick...

Etc!

Speaking of illness, could it be... her?

Zhen Xin!?

The name suddenly popped into Cheng Shi's mind, and the image of Shaman's cunning, maniacal laughter also came to mind.

Ugh—what bad luck!

He quickly shook his head to banish the Crazy Woman from his mind, but then he remembered that Hu Wei had also said "bad luck"...

Holy crap, could it really be her?

"But what does this have to do with losing points?"

Just as Cheng Shi's expression turned extremely strange as he thought of someone, Yan Chun asked the question.

He didn't mean to ask such a low-level question, but he was too curious, so curious that he completely abandoned his "high-class" status Believer in "Folly".

Cheng Shi he had asked first, Cheng Shi listened in silence.

Hu Wei seemed to have anticipated this question, and he explained without any hesitation:

"Because the Chosen of God is invisible."

The Blind Man said the object was hidden not far from us. After thinking about it, we realized that "not far" referred to the score.

Therefore, we guessed that this prophecy would be fulfilled in some segment below us, so we came down."

I see!

It turns out that the Chosen of God collectively lost points not because they were chasing something tangible, but because they were chasing a Nothingness and elusive prophecy.

Yes, that's very much Destiny.

In fact, Cheng Shi wanted to ask Hu Wei, "Aren't you afraid that this blind man is just spouting Blind Man to fool you?"

After all, it's Destiny... right? Those who know, know.

Moreover, even if this Blind Man really made a prophecy, how can you be sure that the prophecy that Zhen Xin relayed is true?

Is she really that kind?

However, Cheng Shi would never say it aloud, even though he was thinking about it.

Because his skill level isn't high enough to be among the top players, he shouldn't know Zhen Xin.

He didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he want to attract attention.

Because he could tell that Hu Wei had said so much sincerely, and it certainly wasn't just to clear up his and Yan Chun's doubts.

He had no need to do so.

The reason I did this was probably the same as I did in the previous game: I wanted to exchange sincerity for sincerity and try to get some feedback from myself and Yan Chun.

After all, if the prophecy is true, and the guesses of the "Chosen of God" are also correct, then this "not far away" might be near the score range of 2400 that they lied about!

No wonder he looked at me with such expectation!

He probably felt that the clue he was praying for might be within himself!

No wonder he brought Yan Chun along; it wasn't because it was on the way, but because he felt that Yan Chun might be a clue to his future!

But Yan Chun at 1900 is definitely not as close to the answer as he is at 2400!

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi felt a little gloomy.

This is troublesome; the boss has his eye on us.

What exactly was that prophecy?

If it really was Zhen Xin who leaked it...

Cheng Shi began to recall all her actions from the previous game, but she had no clue whatsoever.

Everything she did was very...

It can't be called "normal," but at least it doesn't seem like an "abnormality" with ulterior motives.

Because she lost that Trials, and she didn't harbor much hostility towards Hu Xuan, who won the Trials.

Therefore, the prophecy does not point to Divinity, at least not to the Divinity of Birth.

Alas, crucial information is still missing.

Cheng Shi sighed inwardly, completely at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, another listener Yan Chun, also saw through Hu Wei's plan and was integrating all the information he knew into his mind.

But his grades limited his perspective; he thought for a long time but came up with nothing.

Perhaps he really was the one who got a ride along the way.

Hu Wei did not urge them or interrupt their train of thought. He appeared to be taking a short nap, but in reality, his eyes never left the two of them.

A general in command of an army does not underestimate his enemies. He will not disregard the intelligence in the hands of these two low-ranked soldiers. Now that the bait has been laid, he is waiting to see how the "enemy" will reveal a flaw.

Cheng Shi was the same; he was also glancing at the other two, no, the three of them, out of the corner of his eye. He even paid a little attention to the direction Bai Fei had gone.

This state leads to a high level of mental concentration and constant tension in the nerves.

On the one hand, they had to project an open and cooperative attitude, while on the other hand, they had to be careful not to fall into the trap set by the Grand Marshal and become prey.

I'm exhausted, really exhausted.

Cheng Shi smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was cursing with annoyance.

Your mother's crappy game, you can't even get a single point out of it.
