How old is he?
Cheng Shi's neighbor has disappeared.
Xie Yang, this Believer in "war," has not shown his face for six days.
In half an hour, the next Special Trial will begin.
If he doesn't live to see his neighbor by then, Cheng Shi, as one of his "few" friends, feels it's his duty to do his part for his neighbor's funeral arrangements.
And it is only right to annex... to merge his living space, and to deal with his legacy as appropriate.
Cheng Shi had already planned to pray for the merging of spaces after returning from the next Special Trial, but unexpectedly, in the last few minutes before the Trials, this neighbor appeared again, his face beaming with happiness and satisfaction.
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be enjoying the glow of love...
But is it really "Xiao Yuan" he mentioned who nourishes this love?
"You..."
"Dude! You're back? I thought you were dead!"
"..."
Cheng Shi chuckled twice, thinking to himself, "I haven't even asked you yet, and you're already hoping I'll hang up."
But then he flashed a bright smile and shouted towards the rooftop across the street:
"You seem to be doing well lately. You're not with Xiao Yuan, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yang, who was usually very generous, suddenly became shy. He looked away embarrassedly and smiled like a sycophant.
"No, not really. I just saw her from a distance. She is indeed very beautiful."
"?"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he began to seriously question his own eyesight and aesthetic sense.
What's going on? Did I see it wrong?
He was extremely puzzled, but on the surface he had to awkwardly chat with Xie Yang. During a break in the conversation, he slowly moved to the edge of the rooftop and then glanced down out of the corner of his eye.
Coincidentally, the beer belly was right by the window, and it was so round.
This casual glance made Cheng Shi even more certain of one fact:
Xie Yang was scammed.
Because he doesn't seem like the type to be stubborn when heartbroken. While emotional trauma might cause many people to suffer for an indefinite period, for him, it only accelerates the time it takes for him to take the initiative again.
Therefore, Xie Yang's blissful expression wasn't feigned; he probably really saw the Xiao Yuan of his dreams.
This is getting interesting.
Based on Cheng Shi's understanding of Xie Yang, this neighbor from "War" was not a fool, which meant that the Xiao Yuan with the beer belly in front of him was probably also a master.
Moreover, he was a master at deceiving his enemies.
Is it [Deception], [chaos], or... [Filth and Decay]?
Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with me.
Cheng Shi only hoped that this long-distance relationship spanning the entire building wouldn't end prematurely, so that he could perhaps see more fun and make his leisure time outside of the Trials less boring.
"I wish you happiness."
Cheng Shi spoke with exceptional sincerity.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Xie Yang was clearly pleased. He not only thanked Cheng Shi profusely but also seemed quite excited, considering Cheng Shi's feelings, "Dude, are you still single too? Don't say I didn't think of you when something good happened to me. Xiao Yuan has a younger sister, I've met her, she's just as beautiful as Xiao Yuan. If you're interested, I can..."
"I'm not interested!"
Cheng Shi was so frightened that he shook his head.
Forget it, you can enjoy this beauty yourself, don't drag me into it.
But he knew that if he didn't give a reason today, his enthusiastic neighbor would probably arrange blind dates for him every few days, so after thinking for a moment, he said to Xie Yang:
"Actually, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Yang's expression suddenly changed, and he took two steps back with a look of shock in his eyes.
"You like men?"
"Uh... no, not really."
"Phew—thank goodness, brother, don't scare me like that." Xie Yang was clearly relieved. He perked up his Ear again, waiting for what was to come.
"Actually, what I wanted to say was, rather than introducing beautiful women..."
Do you still have... that? You know, right? It's that..."
Xie Yang's expression turned even stranger.
He suddenly felt that the Mage on the opposite building seemed to be a... pervert.
"You like corpses?"
"?"
Cheng Shi was stunned. He suddenly felt that his neighbor across the street seemed to have a rather unconventional way of thinking, but this was a good excuse.
Mage like corpses; it sounds like a pretty good match.
So Cheng Shi nodded sincerely.
"Sigh, you still found out. This is my most unspeakable secret. Yes, it is precisely for this reason that I embarked on the path of seeking [death]..."
Xie Yang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Dude, don't try to fool me. The corpses I gave you before were all men."
Cheng Shi remained completely calm and spoke fluently:
You're too attached to appearances.
After death, all beings are freed from the bonds of the physical body, cleansed of the defilements of the mind, and transcended the mundane. They have long since shed the illusion of gender and merged into the unity of life, leaving only the distinction between life and death, that is, I live and it dies.
If we must assign a gender to them, then if I am male, then it is female; if I am female, then it is male.
Therefore, I am heterosexual.
"..."
Xie Yang could no longer laugh.
He felt that Cheng Shi's heterosexuality might not be about gender, but about life itself.
That Mage neighbor is a real psychopath!
Xie Yang was a little scared.
But what he feared was not that Cheng Shi was a pervert, but that his collection might be lost due to Cheng Shi's covetousness for ulterior motives.
After all, he always swapped things with Cheng Shi.
This can't go on. It seems I need to kill a few people to build up my reserves.
Cheng Shi naturally had no idea what Xie Yang was thinking, nor did he know where this Believer in "war" had strayed off to. At this moment, he only cared about one thing, and that was...
The Special Trial has arrived as scheduled.
The Special Trial (Regain New Life [Chaos]) is now open.
[Matching teammates (1/6)]
[Trial Objective: How to prove you are who you are amidst the doubts and challenges of others (5-day time limit)]
?
Why is it Him again?
Why is it still Him?
How old is he?
Didn't we just deal with each other? Why are you chasing me so closely?
I didn't do anything wrong...
Ahem, let me explain first. It was Bai Fei who killed those little lunatics, it had nothing to do with me, brother, you have to believe me.
But surely you wouldn't bother me with something so trivial, would you?
After all, we're related in some way...
For a moment Cheng Shi's face turned ashen, and he dared not move, awkwardly letting his vision sink into darkness.
Match successful (6/6), entering trial mode.
P. S. Next is Cheng Shi's first instance under the Faith of [Destiny]. Although he "betrayed" [Deception], it does not mean he has abandoned lies.
A lie may be seen through, but sincerity can still deceive.
Anti-fraud tip: Never believe a single word a scammer says.
In addition, I read some of the enthusiastic comments yesterday and know that some friends are a bit anxious, so I'd like to reassure everyone:
