The Rebellion, Everything's Gone Wrong
The scene was completely silent.
The other players, stunned by the absurd performance before them, dared not utter a sound. They huddled in a corner, motionless, obediently serving as background figures, leaving the entire venue to the few Chosen of God in the front row.
After listening with furrowed brows for a moment, these Chosen of God each made some guesses about the current situation.
Grand Marshal Hu Wei first glanced at Long Jing in the center of the Stage ruins. When he saw that Longjing was still glaring at Zhen Yi with annoyance, he let out a heavy sigh and looked at his brother, Cheng Shi.
"Hu Xuan? Brother, do you know that Eternal Day?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi his spine. It seemed that his good older brother and Hu Xuan were not on good terms.
What's going on? Could Hu Xuan have secretly gotten pregnant with his child?
He speculated about the story between the two while anxiously awaiting Zhen Yi's response.
Although switching identities was a clever way to save himself, it also undoubtedly gave Zhen Yi the initiative to control "himself".
You see, Zhen Yi's identity is like a lice that have been bitten many times over, but my identity is far too clean. If Zhen Yi were to blurt out something carelessly at this moment, it would be the death of me.
To Cheng Shi's surprise, Zhen Yi didn't pull any tricks. She perfectly portrayed a Fate Weaver who had been tricked by "herself," and simply smiled faintly and said:
"We know each other, we've played one game together."
At that time, she was not yet the Eternal Day, but it was clear that this Life Sage would become a formidable figure sooner or later.
I just didn't expect her to take off so quickly.
"I guess my 'logistical support' work caught her eye, because she left me a small souvenir."
Logistical support?
After a moment of contemplation, Hu Wei immediately understood what "Cheng Shi" was talking about. The logistical support for a Fate Weaver is naturally healing. It seems that his good brother had saved that Hu Xuan before.
To be honest, there was no conflict between the Grand Marshal and Hu Xuan, the two Chosen of God, and they had never even met. The reason he cared so much about this Eternal Day was because one of his companions in the trio seemed to have fallen into Hu Xuan's hands.
He still vividly remembers the night he first heard Hu Xuan's name, the very night he was completely fooled by Zhen Yi's outrageous lie.
At the meeting that night, his companion mentioned that they should avoid Hu Xuan if they saw her, but not long after, this companion disappeared without a trace.
After making inquiries from various sources, he finally found some clues. It was said that his companion had been matched with the Eternal Day in a Trials, and somehow ended up with this rising star. A few days later, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
It's normal for people to die in games, but [Birth] has many ways to trace the source. He was afraid that his companion's death would leak some information about himself, which is why he paid attention to Hu Xuan.
Although Cheng Shi spoke casually, Hu Wei had a pretty good idea of what was going on. He suspected that his younger brother was a deep thinker and probably wasn't telling the truth.
He looked at "Zhen Yi" again, his face darkening once more. "Zhen Yi, what whistle did you take from my brother?"
Cheng Shi suppressed the urge to twitch his lips and maintained his usual cheerful demeanor:
Hehe~
It's just a small Nightfall Spring Whistle, why be so nervous?
After saying that, he reached out as if he had grasped something, then looked at "Cheng Shi" with feigned shyness, pursed his lips, and lowered his head, saying:
"Could it be... that you intend to use this whistle to... do something with me?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Cheng Shi's face darkened, his expression filled with speechlessness and his eyes brimming with disdain. He was just like the real Cheng Shi, making no attempt to hide his annoyance with Zhen Yi.
Although everyone already knew that Cheng Shi was the one who had been tricked, seeing him like this still evoked a sense of sympathy in them.
But little did they know... it was all fake.
It's all rebelled! It's all rebelled!
Two fanatical Believer in "Deception" impersonated each other right in front of everyone, becoming deeply immersed in their roles.
To protect himself, he endured the disgust and found ways to "tease" himself.
One person perfectly plays the victim in an "emotional drama" just for fun.
Cheng Shi was not surprised that Zhen Yi could portray herself so realistically, but what he could not understand was that this Crazy Woman clearly knew how others disliked her, yet she did not care at all, and could even portray that dislike in a more annoying way!
Is this really something a human being could do?
Just as the group was staring at each other in a silent standoff, Long Jing, amidst the ruins in the center of the Stage, couldn't hold back any longer.
He glared at "Zhen Yi" with fury in his eyes and began to curse:
Are you sick?
If you set up a trap and still couldn't catch the person, fine, but why break your own trap?
You didn't just want to beat me up, did you?
What bad luck! Listen to me, everyone. Although I don't know if that Fate Weaver named Cheng Shi is real, I can be sure that the Zhen Yi in front of you is real!
I saw something that belonged to me in her hands!
Zhen Yi, I have to remind you, the lease on the Tongue of Lies " is almost up!
"..."
Ah?
Cheng Shi was stunned. He never imagined that the Tongue of Lies was actually from Long Jing.
Did Zhen Yi get it from him?
Then Zhen Xin "lent" that tongue to herself?
But now, this tongue has clearly become "strong evidence" proving that he is Zhen Yi...
So, was this a scheme orchestrated by Zhen Xin Zhen Yi long ago, or is it just a coincidence of Destiny?
Cheng Shi's mind was buzzing, but he didn't have time to think about it. Instead, he forced himself to suppress his nausea and forced a smile, saying:
Hehe~
How did you find out I was sick?
"You're so concerned about me, my boyfriend might get jealous. He's standing right there, aren't you afraid he'll hit you?"
"..."
Cheng Shi's face darkened. He looked at Long Jing, who had turned around, and shook his head stiffly.
"President Gong is wise and powerful, so don't pay any attention to this Crazy Woman."
I'm just a nobody Priest; you can just pretend I don't exist.
If any of you big shots could open a door and send me back, that would be even better.
Before Long Jing could say anything, Hu Wei raised his hand to interrupt Cheng Shi's speech.
"Cheng Shi, wait a minute. I'm about to pull off something big. The team is short of a Priest. Don't rush off. I'll take you to a good place in a bit."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Hu Wei.
Sure enough, the Grand Marshal hadn't come here just for a stroll; he had his own purpose.
But these words... aren't they all too familiar?
Brother, do you always need a Priest?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi felt somewhat disoriented, as if he had returned to that unforgettable Trials.
It was that Trials that completely embroiled him in the public opinion storm surrounding Zhen Yi!
Although this can be considered reaping what they sowed, the consequences were far too terrible!
And what's worse is that, right now, he and another protagonist in the media storm have switched identities.
And they exchanged identities under false pretenses, even though they both knew about it!
In this situation, Hu Wei's invitation to "Cheng Shi" undoubtedly gave Zhen Yi a new source of amusement.
She glanced at Cheng Shi making a sound, and their eyes met. In their awkward exchange, she saw Cheng Shi's worry, and Cheng Shi understood her meaning.
In this silent exchange of glances, Zhen Yi presented her "negotiation" terms, which were:
Don't interfere with my involvement in Hu Wei's secret affairs, and I won't cause too much trouble for your identity.
Cheng Shi sneered inwardly, not believing a word she said. Instead of responding, he suddenly turned to Hu Wei with a grin and said:
"Where are you going? Could you...?"
"Take me with you!"
Hu Wei's face darkened; he wished he could throw "Zhen Yi" out of there immediately, but he knew he couldn't. So, with a stern face, he reached out and said:
"Zhen Yi, don't force me to take action. Give my brother's whistle back."
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, seemingly pleased that someone was collecting debts for him. Zhen Yi, on the other hand, pursed her lips in grievance and reluctantly tossed the whistle in her hand over.
Hu Wei frowned as he caught the whistle, checked it carefully several times, and only after finding no problems did he put it into Cheng Shi's hand.
He didn't expect Zhen Yi to be so easy to talk to today, which made him feel that the other party was brewing a bigger conspiracy.
Cheng Shi said thank you with gratitude, and then put the whistle into his personal space.
Seeing that he had gotten his brother's things back, Hu Wei remained wary of Zhen Yi, then looked at Long Jing and asked with a serious expression:
"Brother Long, shouldn't you explain this big show tonight?"
