Character side story: Long Jing-Making peace with himself

[Deception] Believer often produce eccentric geniuses.

Not long after the arrival of [Faith Game], the names of several [Deception] Believer became known in high-end player circles, one of whom was the Acrobat Long Jing.

At first, no one knew his name was Long Jing; he called himself President Gong, and that's what everyone called him.

This President Gong is extremely abstract; he often has the words "Acrobat" engraved on his forehead, as if afraid that others wouldn't know he is Acrobat.

The problem is that Acrobat are warriors Deception Faith. If a Believer in Deception so openly reveals their identity, how can anyone trust them?

Not only did they not believe it, they didn't even dare to go near it.

Thus, the "Acrobat" tattoo became an excellent excuse for President Gong to act alone, allowing him to steal a little freedom during Trials.

Until he met his lifelong nemesis:

Zhen Yi.

At that time, True Heart was already gaining fame, but many people didn't know what this ID represented. Long Jing didn't know either, as he hadn't met Zhen Xin and Zhen Yi yet.

During a certain Trials, he met a [Memory] teammate who was quite to his liking, and unusually, he set aside his prejudices about Faith Opposition and traveled with him.

This [Memory] teammate was extremely talkative, discussing everything about Long Jing and even reminiscing about his own past.

His childhood was so similar to that of Long Jing in the acrobatic troupe: the expectations of the industry, the worries of his parents, his helplessness, the unexpected tragedy... even the way he found himself was so similar.

The [Memory] Believer said to him:

"After they left, I ran away from home and lived in a daze for a long time."

I once thought that their departure had taken away all the light in my life, plunging me into eternal darkness, making it difficult for me to face life and myself.

I don't know what to do. Should I follow in their footsteps and walk the path they walked, or should I give up, listen to their advice, and stay away from those thorny and difficult obstacles?

I struggled with myself for a long time, was perplexed for a long time, and finally figured it out.

I can give up on myself, but I can't give up on them. I have to let the world know that there was once a pair of incredibly talented performers in this world. They deserve more spotlight, even though they have passed away!

I can't let them be buried in the past; I have to live on with their reputation and earn them more attention.

I love this craft, and I love them, so I chose to become a... Acrobat.

Let me reintroduce myself. My name is not President Gong, but Long Jing.

"Dragon in Long Yu, Jing Bai."

"?????"

Long Jing, who was still immersed in the same emotions, suddenly realized that there was no other "self" in this world. No wonder he could empathize with this memory, because it was his memory!

Long Jing was stunned, then he became angry.

"You stole my Memory?"

Despite the invasion of his privacy, Long Jing didn't think much of it at the moment, only feeling that the [Memory] Believer were indeed untrustworthy.

But when the other party took off her disguise and transformed into a playful and cute girl, and started laughing heartily, he finally realized that he had been deceived.

There are no Believer in [Memory], we have simply met a fellow believer.

What a fraud!

Hehe~

Long Xiaojing, you're so cute, yeah, adorably silly.

I always said that someone who could have the words "Acrobat" etched on their forehead must have a story behind them, but I never imagined the story would be like this...

"Never mind, it's tough for everyone, I understand you."

"Die!"

A volcanic eruption of rage instantly overwhelmed Long Jing's reason, and the Acrobat immediately attacked Zhen Yi.

The clever and mischievous girl was ultimately weak and was soon defeated. Long Jing grabbed her by the neck, lifted her high, and sneered coldly:

"Stop laughing, why are you not laughing anymore?"

Keep laughing!

Have you never died?

I can spare your life, but only if you obey me and tell me, "How did you steal my Memory?"

"The pocket, the Void Memory Pocket, is a [Memory] tool. I really didn't mean to, I was just curious, sob sob sob, please forgive me..."

Zhen Yi cried and begged for mercy, her cries so pitiful that even Long Jing felt a pang of sympathy.

He was almost about to let go of the girl who didn't seem "too bad," but the illusion in his hand suddenly exploded, and Zhen Yi, standing behind him, couldn't help but laugh:

Hehe~

I didn't expect him to be such a chivalrous person. Long Xiaojing, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for me, would you?

"... I like your mom#%￥...%￥"

"Oops, wrong number, I'm over here."

"You fucking come here!"

"Hey~ Do you have bad eyesight? You won't be able to win me over like that."

"..."

"You're giving up already? How are you going to pursue girls like this? Oh, right, you've never actually pursued a girl before."

"... Who exactly are you?"

Am I not the person you're pursuing?

"... You just wait."

"What, are you saving up for a dowry? You'd better save up a lot, or you won't be able to marry me."

"..."

That was the first time Long Jing felt powerless in the [Faith Game].

A Master of Trickery and a Void Memory Pocket made him look like a monkey, and from that moment on, he told himself he had to find a tool to ward off bad luck.

The two [Deception] Believer ultimately didn't fight to the death. Zhen Yi left satisfied, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter. Long Jing could only silently pick up the scattered anger, cursing, "What bad luck!"

After the Trials ended, he began to inquire from various sources and finally learned the name of that unlucky woman.

Zhen Yi.

Okay, really okay.

I'll come back to see you after I get that thing!

Long Jing believed he had found a way to defeat Zhen Yi, and that method was hidden somewhere in the past of Isle of Hope.

The power to dispel all illusions!

I will definitely find you.
