A cacophony of sounds filled my ears, and a soft touch came from my shoulder.

Consciousness returned.

Cheng Shi opened his eyes again after a long journey through Nothingness.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a cold, beautiful woman.

Bai Fei!

Standing in front of him was actually Bai Fei!

And at that moment, the Endwalker's hand was on his shoulder!

Did she wake me up?

Did an iceberg that never paid attention to anyone wake you up?

Can this really be woken up?

Something's not right!

Did she discover something?

How much time has passed?

Have I been standing here without moving?

Cheng Shi was startled, and doubts sprouted in his mind like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. He suppressed the shock that made his pupils contract and blinked a few times quickly.

They're back! They're actually back again!

But why now of all times?

Although he had already returned the offerings of the Fire Keeper to them, but...

Surrounded by the Bellringer Knight, will they be able to leave the Trials safely?

Cheng Shi felt uneasy, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about his teammates from more than 200 years in the future.

Because he also faces a difficult problem!

The Endwalker, with a scrutinizing expression, clearly had doubts about his own actions.

More importantly, Cheng Shi, whose consciousness had been separated from his body for so long, had no idea what had happened to the body he left behind, or why it had attracted the attention of this icy beauty.

What to do?

How can I disguise myself and get away with this?

She clearly realized something!

But the question is, what exactly did she see?

Cheng Shi maintained a smile on the surface, but her mind was racing.

The two looked at each other for a second, and then each looked at the other's body.

Just as Bai Fei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, Cheng Shi's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of a way to break the deadlock.

When you find yourself in a passive position with no way out, try a different approach: take the initiative and forge a path no one has ever walked before.

Then!

Cheng Shi spoke up.

And once he opens his mouth, it's like the sky is falling and the earth is cracking!

"Oh no, we've been spotted!"

Hehe~

I'm curious how you discovered that?

Don't tell me it's a guess; I never believe in guesses.

Every lie is exposed when people find evidence to expose it.

Tell me, how did you know it was mine?

Cheng Shi then smirked mischievously and repeated Zhen Xin's words almost verbatim.

Even the tone and movements were imitated perfectly.

But clearly, his voice was very different from the real "Zhen Xin", but even so, it still shocked Bai Fei in front of him!

Yes, utterly horrified!

Even though Bai Fei's expression remained as cold as an iceberg, unchanging, her eyes spoke volumes; her pupils did not lie.

Her suddenly constricted pupils revealed the extreme turmoil within her.

Cheng Shi's keen observation skills allowed him to see this, so he felt relieved.

The situation has reversed.

As expected, I became the one in control.

Indeed, Bai Fei was astonished.

Although her expression remained unchanged, her mind was in turmoil, her entire head practically ringing.

It's her! It's her!! It's actually her!!!

Zhen Yi!

Cheng Shi is actually Zhen Yi!

The Dice are fake! The identities are fake! Everything is fake!!!

She actually disguised herself as an acquaintance of Hu Wei and brazenly followed them into Gasmella's Void Experiment Ground!

How is that possible?

When she waded across that river, it wasn't a mirror, so why...?

By the way, she is His favorite, and in His domain, nothing is impossible!

Bai Fei's thoughts were no better than Cheng Shi's at this Cheng Shi. Her thoughts were chaotic and confused. Only after activating her talent to Annihilation her distracting thoughts did she calm down and turn her gaze to Zhen Yi in front of her again.

Is she real?

Absolutely!

Because of that tone, that expression, that look—it's so unique, so distinctive, that almost no one can imitate it...

It's unlikely that anyone would dare to imitate it.

Who would want to mess with a crazy conman?

So, going back to that question, how did Bai Fei guess it?

Haha, she never expected that!

She had only noticed Cheng Shi deep in thought here several times, and for a long time at that, so she assumed he had made a discovery and that was why she had "risked" coming to investigate.

Unexpectedly, this adventure... turned out to be truly dangerous!

The thought that the person standing in front of her was Zhen Yi filled Bai Fei's eyes with caution.

She wasn't even sure if the dazed Zhen Yi she had just woken up was really Zhen Yi.

Because you can never guess where this darling of Deception has placed her seductive illusions.

In her presence, others are nothing but being played!

But at this moment, I must not show any weakness.

Because if he reveals even the slightest flaw, he will once again be tricked by this Master of Trickery and become the subject of everyone's... amusement.

Bai Fei then narrowed her eyes slightly, Indifference scrutinizing Cheng Shi from head to toe for a Cheng Shi time before uttering a few words in an icy tone:

"Zhen Yi, it really is you."

"..."

Zhen Yi?

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Cheng Shi immediately thought of the sisters that her Lord of Grace had once mentioned.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Huh? Huh?" before quickly muttering to himself that Lips of Foolish Play.

Mouth Brother, I begged you so much I was practically smoking, and you just played me?

You knew perfectly well that they were sisters, and that the one in front of me was the younger sister Zhen Yi, but you told me that it was Zhen Xin.

So, you'd rather see me having fun than her?

You two are both pretending to be confused when you know the truth, and I'm the only one who's really confused?

Heh, it's me, the Clown.

With limited time and not enough time to vent, Cheng Shi returned to his original identity after a moment of chaos.

Zhen Yi.

He is now Deception, the younger sister of Zhen Xin, the Chosen of God one of the Zhen Yi masters, and one of the top Master of Trickery.

But then again, you, with your cold and aloof demeanor, are quite adaptable.

They made it sound as if they had guessed correctly.

Tsk, hard to judge.

Cheng Shi's eyes were full of amusement. He imitated Zhen Yi's gaze, completely immersing himself in the situation, and began to scrutinize the iceberg in front of him with great interest.

Hehe~

You've become smarter, have you been taking medication?

Hmm, for someone who walks the path of self -Annihilation to begin to expose my scheme... let me think... perhaps...

Are you secretly studying me?

Ha!

You don't like me, do you?

Too bad, I have a new love now. What you see now is my new love.

So, how about it? Handsome, right?

I can't betray him. Hmm, I'll introduce you two next time we meet. His name is Cheng Shi, and he's really a...

"The Fate Weaver."

Bai Fei's expression grew colder as she listened. She automatically filtered out all of Zhen Yi's statements, confirming only one thing:

That's Zhen Yi in front of me, she couldn't be more real!

She must, absolutely, definitely, and unquestionably be that annoying Master of Trickery!

Although Cheng Shi's performance was excellent and Bai Fei did acknowledge his identity, the situation was still not optimistic for Cheng Shi.

Because...

Bai Fei is a quiet, reserved person.

She rarely spoke, which meant that Cheng Shi had to make sure he said everything he wanted to say.

Because that's the kind of person Zhen Yi is.

She's a chatterbox, she's noisy, she's annoying, but at the same time, she never lets a conversation go cold.

The problem is that Cheng Shi is only playing a role; he doesn't actually know her very well.

So, faced with the endless silence, Cheng Shi finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Traveler, say something! Don't force me to beg you!"

His face was practically frozen from smiling.

"What did you call me?" Bai Fei's gaze sharpened.

"..."

Damn it, that bastard Zhen Yi gave Bai Fei a nickname!

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he began to rack his brains to think about what this nickname might be.

But who can guess what a conman is thinking?

The answer is no.

But I want to give it a try.

He began to think.

Since Bai Fei's image in [Giggle and Mock] is that of an elongated inflatable doll, is it possible that her nickname is Xiao Bai... plus "elongated doll", becoming Xiao Bai... strip?

At least it's a double entendre.

"What, are you only satisfied when you hear 'Xiao Bai... Strips'?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Fei's expression turned even colder, but her slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

She really is Zhen Yi!

Cheng Shi smiled happily on the surface, but was actually speechless inside.

Holy crap, how could they guess that right?!

Will Destiny start to favor me after I retrieve the fruit?

However, putting Destiny aside...

It turns out that some people can actually guess a scammer's thoughts.

And this person turned out to be another swindler.
