The Game with the Highest Concentration of Destiny?

Can you imagine finding four [Destiny] Believer in a single Trials?

Anyone who didn't know better would think the "Destiny" channel was having a team-building event today.

Cheng Shi this feeling right now: it's incredibly frustrating, extremely frustrating.

Aside from Ji Er and Gao San, the remaining four people, including himself, were Believer in "Destiny," and this level of coincidence made him frown.

The concentration of "Destiny" was excessively high. He couldn't believe there would be so many charlatans in this game. With such a high concentration, there must be some impurities; there must be a few scammers mixed in.

But the question is: how many were mixed in?

He wanted to observe a little longer, but his teammates' eyes had all shifted to him, as if they were waiting for something.

He was the only one left who hadn't introduced himself.

Cheng Shi was slightly taken aback, and then a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

He wanted to give it a try; he wanted to test the waters and find out who his teammates were.

So he spoke:

"Don't be nervous. I am neither [Existence] nor [Chaos], and I am not your enemy."

After saying this, he smiled and touched the metal cap on his head.

"..."

Cheng Shi originally intended to touch his nose, his intention being to use enough movements to conceal his Oathbreak Curse and thus confuse the enemy.

But he suddenly realized that because of the special nature of this Trials and the indestructibility of the Prison Helmet, his act of renunciation was stuck as scratching the nostrils of the Prison Helmet.

That's so weird, that action is so weird, no normal person would pick their nose out of Prison Helmet.

But his teammates' attention was clearly not on this. They did not relax at all just because Cheng Shi was not their Path of Fate. They listened intently, as if they were expecting something.

"So you are...?"

"So... I am also [Nothingness]!"

Cheng Shi touched his iron nostrils again and said:

"Cheng Shi, [Nothingness], Warrior, Ladder 2101."

Yet another Nothingness!

When Cheng Shi revealed his Path of Fate, everyone present reacted.

Li Yi withdrew his hand from the railing, Ji Er chuckled and shook his head, Gao San crossed his arms and looked at him, and Zhao Si started tapping the railing with his knuckles again.

Su Wu, who was closest, blurted out in surprise:

"Wait, buddy, are you up to something?"

Are you also "Destiny"?

Cheng Shi laughed loudly, "No, no, no, there's enough of 'Destiny.' I don't believe in Destiny; I only believe in lies. I'm Believer in 'Deception,' I am..."

Acrobat."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand touched the helmet's nostrils again, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange because of his words.

Judging from everyone's reactions, it seems that it would be better for him to say "Destiny" rather than "Deception."

After a long silence, Ji Er finally regained his "fighting stance." He chuckled and said Yin-Yang:

"I've heard that some scammers have poor mental fortitude and like to make subtle movements when they lie. Since you're Believer in Deception, why don't you explain to me whether this statement is true?"

Upon hearing Ji Er's words, everyone recalled Cheng Shi's previous actions and turned their attention back to him.

Indeed, it was very strange that this Believer of "Deception" kept touching the nostrils of the Prison Helmet; it seemed almost deliberate.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Ji Er, unable to contain his amusement.

It's here!

Some people couldn't sit still any longer.

He laughed and replied, "I thought you were going to ask me why my name isn't Cheng Liu?"

"..." Ji Er paused upon hearing this.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely eerie. Everyone seemed to be focused on Cheng Shi's Path of Fate and Faith, while the pseudonym relay game that had been hotly debated just moments before was now completely ignored.

What does this tell us?

This shows that the seriousness of the issue of Faith has far exceeded that of mere amusement.

Thinking about this, Cheng Shi finally realized that there was indeed a problem with this situation, and a big problem at that!

He then turned to the Gao San and threw the question that Ji Er had been asking back at him.

"I think the Ji Er brothers' problem is a large category of psychological issues, involving the study of human nature and the summarization of its laws. Believer in [Truth] should know more about this, so why don't you give me some pointers, brother?"

The Gao San chuckled, arms crossed.

"I am a soldier and know very little about psychology, but I do know a little about Acrobat."

I've heard that He bestows upon Acrobat extraordinary flexibility and unparalleled balance, enabling them to perform all sorts of incredible feats. Even so, brother, can't you escape the shackles of this Prison Helmet?

"[Order] is never easy to break. None of you here have been able to escape from this Prison Helmet, so how could I possibly do it?"

After saying that, he touched the nostrils of the Prison Helmet again.

After seeing Cheng Shi do this several times, even Li Yi, who had been standing next to him with a livid face, couldn't hold back anymore.

"I rarely encounter con artists who are honest about their identities. Don't all your talents rely on lies?"

Furthermore, you've exposed yourself as a fraudster. How will you proceed with the Edict of Passage later?

"Leaving aside my talent and Edict of Passage, I remember it was you, Brother Li Yi, who called on us to be honest with each other and cooperate, right?"

"What, is it wrong for me to reveal my identity?"

"..." Li Yi clenched his fist with a strange expression. "That's not what I meant. Although I suggested that we cooperate, the premise of this suggestion is that it does not harm personal safety and interests. Since you are so confident, you must have some reason to be so."

But if you ever encounter someone trying to scam me in the future, please be lenient and don't swindle me too badly.

Cheng Shi his apparent "sincerity," Cheng Shi chuckled noncommittally, then casually took out a white Mask from his personal storage space and devoutly prayed in front of everyone:

"Do not distinguish between truth and falsehood, nor discuss the reality and the illusion."

I dedicate my Deception act today to you, and praise the great God of Deception.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi's hand instinctively reached for his nostrils again.

This clearly provocative action, along with the Edict of Passage he had just issued, seemed to be proclaiming one thing to everyone:

That means I not only revealed my hand, but I also lied to you. You can try to guess which of my words are true and which are false!

People have seen swindlers before, but they've never seen one this brazen.

The expressions on everyone's faces were obscured beneath their Prison Helmet. They frowned, deep in thought, wondering what their teammate was up to.

Clearly, he lied, and it was a clumsy lie, but who was he trying to fool with this clumsy lie?

After observing the Cheng Shi, everyone looked at each other, seemingly searching for the fool who had been deceived.

But it's hard to say who's the fool.

Just then, the noisy prison suddenly fell An Jing without warning, followed by the sound of armor scraping and heavy footsteps coming from the distant stairwell.

Everyone turned to look and saw a group of heavily armored knights carrying lances marching in. The leader used a sharp lance to pry open the cell door of two prisoners, and several burly knights rushed in and dragged the two prisoners, who were powerless to resist, out.

On the left, the prisoner in the blue uniform is kicking and screaming wildly under the knight's grasp.

"Let me go! I want to fight them! I want them to know who the real crown prince of the Thorn Tribe is! I want these imposters who are impersonating me to die a horrible death!"

The prisoner on the right, also dressed in a blue prison uniform, didn't struggle at all, and grinned sinisterly.

"Today is your death day. I'll show you who the real Clown is who stole the throne. Just wait to die, you're about to die!"

The knight captain glanced at the two Indifference and snorted coldly:

"May your fighting spirit remain so unwavering until you atone for your sins and take them away!"

After saying this, a group of knights dragged the two prisoners who couldn't stand each other away from the prison.

As they disappeared, the prison, which had been An Jing for a moment, erupted into a noisy roar once more.
