Cheng Shi Had Guessed Nothing
Bai Fei followed closely behind, remaining silent the entire way. Finally, upon arriving at the door of the top-tier Experiment, she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked:
"How does it taste?"
Cheng Shi turned around in surprise, thinking that the icy beauty behind him had been switched with someone else.
What's wrong, sister? You finally couldn't hold back anymore, huh?
You didn't care about all the lies I told, but you insist on knowing what that fruit tastes like?
Cheng Shi smiled happily, "Sweet, a sweetness that soothes the soul."
He lied.
The fruit of Conjugate Whisper is actually very bitter.
Before taking a bite, Cheng Shi really didn't expect it to be so bitter; it was so bitter that he almost lost control of his facial expressions.
If it weren't for his steely palate honed over the past six months, which allowed him to withstand the bitterness, he would have almost burst into tears from the intense, lingering bitterness.
Fortunately, he held back.
But he had no choice.
Cheng Shi didn't want to dispose of the fruit so carelessly, but because things created as "Sacrifice to the Void" couldn't be preserved for long, and he had no information on how to process the fruit again, he had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill in order to prevent the fruit he had worked so hard to obtain from disappearing in vain, and also to set up a scheme to deceive his good older brother.
It's so bitter, so incredibly bitter, even more bitter than my own life.
It's not only bitter, but also completely useless.
Like that two-word phrase that's disgusting but useless...
After finishing his meal, Cheng Shi examined his body closely, but he found that there were no Change inside him at all.
It seems to be just an ordinary bitter fruit, serving no other purpose than to stimulate one's taste buds.
Furthermore, the pulp and juice dissipate the moment they are swallowed.
Yes, it dissipates, not digests.
This Cheng Shi; he felt like he might have become a laughing stock.
But he didn't show it; instead, he grinned and stubbornly insisted:
"What, you want to eat it too? Then I suggest you go ask the Blind Man and see if she can also give you a prophecy."
Hehe~
I really look forward to your invitation to join you in searching for your fruit!
Bai Fei stared at Cheng Shi for Cheng Shi moment with a dark expression, then regained her aloofness. She ignored him and walked straight past him toward the Experiment in front of her.
Because Conjugate Whisper grow extremely slowly, not every day Grand Scholar comes to oversee this Experiment located at the highest point.
Benefiting from the principle of "the circulation of Truth and the sharing of knowledge" upheld by the Scholar of the Tower of Reason, there are not many identity restrictions in the Experiment Field.
So the two of them swaggered into the Experiment in front of many Scholar.
Bai Fei stood in the middle of the Experiment with a cold face, and asked without any emotion:
"Where?"
Where?
Let me think about it.
Cheng Shi began to recall everything that happened in this Experiment 200 years later, and began to speculate on what choices the Fire Keeper and that radical Erudite Scholar would make when faced with a tsunami of enemies.
But after thinking it over, there's only one possibility: to hold out for the time being.
Therefore, the place where Cheng Shi is very likely the battlefield Fire Keeper will fight a desperate battle more than 200 years later.
Tsk, as expected, they'll be miserable without me.
Cheng Shi's gaze swept over the familiar Experiment, and he pointed to the dome of the Experiment with a chuckle:
"Let's leave it there. Imagine, when Grand Scholar is full of anticipation and ready to pick the fruit, he finds that the fruit on the tree has already disappeared."
In his panic, he would surely search everywhere for the thief who had sneaked into the Experiment, but just then...
Boom--
And then, that was it!
Bai Fei sneered, looking at Zhen Yi with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Only this darling of Deception would waste his energy on something so utterly meaningless.
To eat a piece of fruit, he fabricated a colossal lie that deceived all the Chosen of God; to cover up his theft in the past, he deliberately sent a fireworks package to the "future"...
Neither of these two things is something a decent person would do.
The Grand Marshal was right when he said something about meeting her...
What bad luck!
Let this all end quickly!
Bai Fei felt a surge of frustration, wishing she could shoot an arrow through this Void Experiment and throw all the Scholar who had witnessed her "misery" into other worlds to be offered to her Lord of Grace.
Despite her frustration, there was one thing Zhen Yi said that did touch her heart.
That is: when she planted a Silent Arrow here and detonated it more than 200 years later, would the history she rewrote with the power of [Annihilation] attract the attention of her Lord of Grace?
She has never had the honor of meeting Him.
If there's any hope this time, then perhaps...
Should we offer even more?
Besides, since it was clearly the "fireworks" he made, why should he listen to Zhen Yi's arrangements?
Oh.
This time, I'm determined not to let you get what you want.
So Bai Fei silently took out her longbow and prepared to draw it and shoot at the spot Cheng Shi had indicated.
But at that moment, Cheng Shi spoke again.
"Xiao Bai, your arrow must be shot back here in 247 years, 4 months, 3 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, and 18 seconds. Not a second can be missed!"
Otherwise, the promise is invalid!
Sixteen seconds already, quick, I'm counting for you.
"..."
Bai Fei was shocked by Zhen Yi's amazing Memory, but little did she know that Cheng Shi had only seen the date on the Experiment record twice, once at this moment and once during the "picking". After doing a mental calculation, he added a little extra time based on his intuition, delaying the fireworks display until the Fire Keeper were in danger.
She responded expressionlessly, and then silently shot the arrow.
But this arrow was not "one arrow" at all; it was ten arrows fired simultaneously!
An invisible arrow pierced the deepest Void through the Experiment's dome, its shaft enveloped in a dense power of Annihilation, forcibly merging into the even deeper Nothingness.
Thus, under the repulsion of Nothingness, these arrows will be unleashed 247 years from now, becoming a...
Spectacular fireworks!
However, the place where the fireworks exploded was not the Experiment where Cheng Shi was standing, as she had requested. Instead, it was the moment when the Silent Arrow was squeezed out of the Void, it split into ten directions and shot out, Annihilation the entire Void Experiment Ground except for this Experiment!
Bai Fei prepares to offer a grand "historical Annihilation" as a tribute, in order to seek His gaze.
By the way, let's also thwart Zhen Yi's plan to build the Tower of Reason!
This is a scam set up by Believer of "Annihilation" for Believer of "Deception"!
Cheng Shi naturally had no idea that this was a scam.
He simply watched Bai Fei finish everything with a thoughtful expression, then silently activated [Raging Tide], rewriting the traces of this trap into history.
From this moment on, a firework paying tribute to the future was officially planted on the dome of the highest Experiment for the Conjugate Experiment of Void and Reality.
After doing all this, Cheng Shi smiled and waved to Bai Fei.
"The show's over, it's time for me to go."
I have to be careful you don't set this trap now. If this broken arrow throws me into some terrifying Annihilation world when you leave, I'll cry!
So, goodbye Xiao Bai.
Looking forward to seeing you again next time.
With that, Cheng Shi turned and left.
Bai Fei watched him leave the Void through the Scholar's passage in the Experiment Field without moving, and unconsciously frowned.
I have this feeling that I've been scammed again.
But when?
After thinking it over and over, it seems like there isn't one.
Well then, whether these "Annihilation" fireworks are beautiful or not, at least we've settled our score with this unlucky liar.
She glanced coldly at the diligent and busy Scholar around her, suppressing the urge to Annihilation their dark history with an arrow, and slashed through the Void around her to return to reality.
The Void Experiment Ground that sought "Truth" has returned to An Ning once more.
