The Believer of "Folly" was overwhelmed with shock, while the Believer of "Annihilation" remained noncommittal after hearing Hu Wei's words, and her expression did not show any surprise.

That's true.

Players who can reach 2600 points already have some understanding of them.

This situation may have been foreshadowed by clues, but she simply failed to connect the dots between what she had discovered earlier.

Now, reflecting on the "truth" Hu Wei had revealed, she lowered her eyes thoughtfully, as if she had figured something out, but she didn't let anyone else see her expression.

As for Cheng Shi...

He believed it.

It's fake.

Because after he learned that Hu Wei possessed the power of [Chaos], Cheng Shi no longer believed a single word spoken by this Believer of [War], not even the punctuation marks.

Master of Deception can expose a lie, but the power of chaos is not a lie.

Just like Huang Bo, the Singer "Chaos" in the previous Trials, he clearly stole his teammate's identity, but Cheng Shi could not distinguish the truth from the falsehood of every word he said.

At this point, Hu Wei might also possess this ability.

So why did this Chosen of God of the war, this Grand Marshal, share such "secret" information with these two weaklings?

Given Bai Fei's score, he would probably find out about all this sooner or later. If he reveals it in advance, he can explain it away by saying "it's to win people over."

But what about myself and Yan Chun?

The segmentation is too different.

Even if it really is 2400, it's still quite different from 2600.

No one shares information for no reason, and even if someone does, such a person will not become the "Chosen of God".

Because those who share sincerely often don't get very high scores.

To be more realistic, their "game lifespan" might not be very long.

This is reality, and it's also the feedback from [Faith Game] on sincerity.

Cheng Shi looked down at his toes, his expression solemn, feigning a deep shock.

But what he was thinking about wasn't what Hu Wei had just said, but someone else.

An enemy who once killed him.

A Master of Trickery from the future:

Su Yida!

When he returned, the power of [Time] flowed from his fingertips, even more intense than the power of [Memory] he had borrowed.

Cheng Shi had always been curious about where his power came from, and now that he thought about it again, perhaps what Hu Wei said might actually be true?

At some point in the future, will they rewrite the game rules that require players to have a single Faith?

Then, the power of Faith truly merged!

But besides that, he also thought of someone else.

It was also because he thought of this person that Cheng Shi was unsure whether everything Hu Wei said was true or false.

This person is Chenosli, the Neptune follower who mixed his own Faith with Believer of other Faith, the blasphemer of [Order], and the whistleblower of [Chaos]!

It was precisely because Chenosli had confessed to Cheng Shi that this idea, which was mixed with Faith, had attracted the attention of [Chaos], that Cheng Shi was constantly weighing in his mind whether what Hu Wei said was true.

Is the Grand Marshal spreading chaos to gain more attention and to gain more "chaos," or is he genuinely trying to earn the same value in return from the three of them?

Cheng Shi thought about it again and again, and he still felt that it was the former.

This has nothing to do with conspiracy theories; he simply felt that Hu Wei was not someone who could reciprocate sincerity.

He was indeed generous, but the underlying toughness beneath that generosity was also quite evident.

If you don't mind being manipulated or schemed against, Hu Wei might be a good "cooperative" partner because he never mistreats his partners.

But if you hate being forced, working with someone like Hu Wei will be as unpleasant as eating shit.

Cheng Shi is the latter. He can accept eating something that tastes like shit, but he can't stand others imposing their will on him.

Except for Him.

The scene suddenly fell An Jing.

The flames behind them were still roaring, and the clattering of War Machine Soldier could still be heard outside the wall of fire.

Hu Wei's "sincere" gaze swept over everyone, and he shook his head and chuckled.

"Knowing yourself and living in the present is the most important thing; don't excessively pursue an unseen future."

"Time is running out, we should go."

But after what happened before, none of the three, including Cheng Shi, were the first to step through the small door opened by the power of [chaos].

"Haha, since no one wants to be the first to enter, then I'll be the first to enter."

Remember my words: I act Hu Wei, only against the enemy.

As he spoke, the Grand Marshal took the lead and strode into the doorway.

After a moment's hesitation, Yan Chun succumbed to his desire to "observe Experiment of the Tower of Reason," frowned, raised his lance, and followed inside with a serious expression.

Cheng Shi remained motionless, even wondering if he could just run away.

After all, the people who conscripted him had already left, and now he was an unsupervised illegal worker.

Oh, it's not that there's no one here.

There's also an ice queen.

Cheng Shi quickly composed himself and looked at Bai Fei. Seeing that she not only didn't move but was also sizing him up, he smiled and extended his hand like a gentleman.

"Ladies first."

Bai Fei remained unmoved, neither happy nor sad, returning to the state she had been in when she first met her.

It was as cold as an iceberg.

Seeing that she refused to leave first, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and said another sentence:

"Want to add each other on WeChat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Iceberg glanced at him sideways, didn't say a word, and turned to step into the door.

The moment her figure disappeared, Cheng Shi's lips curled up, and without saying a word, he ran in the direction away from the Wall of True Knowledge.

Fuck your Void Experiment Ground!

At this rate, I'll soon become expendable material in the Experiment Field.

Goodbye, I'm going to find my way home now. You guys can go have fun by yourselves.

But just as he reached the vicinity of the wall of fire that Hu Wei had previously drawn, the wall of fire, which had been burning fiercely, suddenly went out.

As the barrier disappeared, the War Machine Soldier who had not yet been destroyed by the flames and were still relentlessly searching for the intruders once again discovered the location of the "intruders".

Even though only one of the four invaders remained, they still surrounded them all at once.

"Damn it, I knew it!"

Cheng Shi's face darkened, and he turned and ran.

This is the Grand Marshal's generosity!

This is Hu Wei's principle of "only attacking the enemy"!

Yes, indeed. He didn't tell a single lie, but he still managed to force all choices to favor him.

As the blades of the attacking soldiers drew ever closer, Cheng Shi glanced at his ring.

Three!

There was no way the three Screaming Maw could lead him out of here. No matter how far he ran, he would probably find his way home before he could find his way to see that the Great One.

Oh well, never mind.

Whether you stick your head out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway, so why not just stick your head in and have some fun?

What if he doesn't die?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi sighed and rushed into the room.

Once all four players had entered, the doorway on the giant wall vanished with a roar, and the entire wall returned to its original, intact state.

Golden light flowed across the giant wall once more, making it appear so sacred and inviolable.

The War Machine Soldier, who had been chasing after the target in vain, slowly got up after losing their target again, repaired their bodies, and returned to their positions in a daze.

The Void fell An Jing once more, leaving only the light of "Truth" shining in all directions.
