Since You Are Cheng Shi, Then I Can Only Be Zhen Yi

Cheng Shi was slashed, a single blow piercing his body.

The scorching flames continued to rage within his body, instantly burning the blood spraying around him into slag, and Cheng Shi himself became a charred corpse.

He didn't die; he merely placed the Tongue of Lies beside his neck the instant he was struck to prevent being decapitated by a single sword strike. Then, he allowed the rage of [War] to tear his body apart and smash him into the ground.

Although people do not die under the protection of the Divine Authority of "Vitality", not dying does not mean not feeling pain.

This was too ruthless. Cheng Shi didn't know how much of the Grand Marshal's strength this was, but he could tell from the temperature of the flames that Zhen Yi had truly broken the opponent's mentality.

Especially since it was messed up twice in the same way.

He inexplicably became Zhen Yi again.

The only difference is that last time it was proactive, but this time it became reactive.

For Hu Wei, whether he took the initiative or not was not important; what mattered was that he had to teach Zhen Yi a lesson.

As it turns out, Zhen Yi didn't develop that kind of memory, but Cheng Shi did.

He summarized his experience into one sentence: Stay away from Zhen Yi, or your Destiny will become unfortunate.

In fact, Hu Wei wasn't sure which Cheng Shi Cheng Shi Zhen Yi, but it didn't matter to him. He didn't care which one was real or neither of them. What he cared about was that the chaos in the Fool's Society had to stop now and that the "danger" hidden in the shadows had to be brought to the forefront.

Only in this way could he ensure that his reputation wouldn't be turned into a joke by these swindlers.

Therefore, this attack was more symbolic than practical; it was a way for him to intimidate the others present, and also a statement to the missing Zhen Yi.

His meaning was clear: past grievances can be forgiven, but don't mess with me today.

The Grand Marshal's attitude was resolute, and others' dislike for Zhen Yi was genuine, so it was no surprise that Cheng Shi suffered the most severe injuries.

To be fair, if it weren't for the "Vitality" he had at that moment, he might have actually been sent to see the Great One on the Bone Throne.

So why not praise [prosperity]!

It was the Big Cat's protection of its friend that saved Cheng Shi from this calamity.

Of course, Cheng Shi also knew that he absolutely could not dodge this attack, because dodging would mean losing.

He wanted to use a defeat without resistance to gain an opportunity, a chance to turn the tide!

Because Zhen Yi's slander has left him with nowhere to go, he is destined to become a Clown tonight.

But he was unwilling to be so inexplicably tricked and killed by Zhen Yi's words, so in a flash, he came up with a plan to turn the tide:

Become Zhen Yi!

Yes, under Zhen Yi's "identification", she completely transformed into Zhen Yi!

It's important to understand that the moment Zhen Yi, disguised as "Cheng Shi," spoke, the real Cheng Shi was already in a precarious situation where he couldn't prove his innocence.

No one would believe him, especially these Peak Player who despised Zhen Yi.

Even if they believe both of these Cheng Shi are false, they might not be willing to bother trying to figure out which one is true.

Therefore, Cheng Shi has been unable to prove his innocence since the beginning.

Since I can't be myself, then I'll become you!

Only in this way, only by switching identities with Zhen Yi, will these angry Chosen of God be wary of him, and he won't have to get bogged down in the quagmire of proving himself, becoming someone who is disliked by both sides.

Moreover, based on Cheng Shi Zhen Yi, when he becomes her, she will definitely be happy to see this and happily and "tacitly" play the role of himself!

Because that's just the kind of person she is, someone who wants to tease everyone all the time.

Now is the perfect opportunity for her to continue to fool everyone after her identity has been exposed.

And the one who gave her this opportunity was the very Clown she had created tonight.

However, at this moment, the Clown was no longer content to remain behind the scenes and was about to take the stage!

As the thick smoke dissipated, the flames still raged. Cheng Shi, his body pierced by the giant sword, lay in the crater created by the impact, coughing up blood while grinning at everyone who was watching.

"Oops, we've been found out again!"

But... hehe~

This doesn't count, because someone cheated!

"..."

"..."

"..."

The silence came so suddenly that even Chen Shu fell silent.

He never imagined that he would meet someone on the same wavelength as him today, and he never imagined that this interesting Fate Weaver he admired was actually Zhen Yi in disguise.

What does this mean?

Is Zhen Yi truly his soulmate?

"..."unlucky!

So what kind of person is the real Cheng Shi?

He abruptly turned to look at the other side of the hall, only to see the "real Cheng Shi" sigh helplessly, shaking his head and smiling bitterly:

"I'm sorry everyone, it's not that I didn't want to warn you sooner, but I made a mistake and lost to her again, and I'm trapped in that annoying Void Memory Pocket."

Fortunately, an external force broke the pocket, allowing me to break free.

However, I must clarify one thing, as you've probably guessed: I have absolutely no connection to this Master of Trickery...

I'm just a victim of public opinion.

!!

She indeed accepted the role and didn't expose herself!

Furthermore, her remarks were very appropriate, and her tone was full of self-deprecation but never played the victim, which improved everyone's impression of "Cheng Shi" considerably.

Even Hu Wei's gaze towards "him" carried a hint of reminiscence, clearly indicating that the "Cheng Shi" in front of him was very similar to the Cheng Shi in his Memory.

But that's not why he recognized "Cheng Shi" as his true identity. The more important reason is that "Zhen Yi" has appeared!

She has been smashed into the ground by the Grand Marshal!

After observing "Cheng Shi" for a moment, everyone turned their attention to "Zhen Yi" in the underground ruins.

On the surface, Zhen Yi was all smiles, but in his heart he felt like he was falling into Abyss!

This Zhen Yi is absolutely terrifying!

She imitated him so perfectly that Cheng Shi thought that even if he were in that position, what he said would be no different.

She even consciously admitted to framing herself and fabricated a reasonable reason for "her" presence.

Yes, what other reason could two people who don't get along possibly end up together? They're probably just kidnapped.

This Zhen Yi has an incredibly strong ability to understand and observe people.

Cheng Shi even wondered if she was allowed to play the role a few more times, would others be able to tell that she wasn't Cheng Shi eventually?

Cheng Shi seemed to sense Zhen Yi's gaze. He looked at her helplessly and sighed:

"Zhen Yi, stop now. The outside world is full of Chosen of God."

If you apologize and return what you took from me, I might try to persuade my brother Hu.

As for the others...

I can't persuade you otherwise; good luck to you.

"..."

Okay, okay!

You still want some loot from me, huh?!

Cheng Shi gritted his teeth inwardly, but outwardly pretended to be clueless, just like Zhen Yi, and asked:

"Thing?

Hehe~

Did you leave something with me?

Cheng Shi rubbed his forehead helplessly, seemingly amused by Zhen Yi's feigned ignorance.

"The whistle, the whistle Hu Xuan gave me, can I have it back?"

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't stop sneering.

What a clever petty theft!

What does she want that Nightfall Spring Whistle for? Does she want to see Hu Xuan?

No, perhaps she didn't want to see Hu Xuan herself, but rather wanted to use Hu Xuan's identity to Eternal Day!

So she discovered her arrival, and thus set up this scheme well in advance?

No, that's impossible.

She disguised herself as her only as a flash of inspiration to escape her identity predicament, so it was also an impromptu act.

On a whim, you wanted to take something from yourself?

The question is, is she targeting Hu Xuan, or the person behind Hu Xuan...?

What about [Birth]?
