Giggle and Mock!

As Cheng Shi opened his arms and let himself fall into it, a whirlwind from the Nothingness lifted him high into the air, and then flung him, along with the players around him, into this River was constantly splashing with ever- Change, colorful waves.

I'm home again!

For some reason, the moment Cheng Shi turned into a spider web, he felt a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before.

No matter how good your relationship is with Afros, you're still using someone else's territory. But here, you can finally say you've arrived on "your own" territory.

Although this statement was arrogant, it seemed to be the truth, because Cheng Shi always felt that under God of Merriment's watchful eye, at least he would not be in any danger.

Of course, embarrassing oneself doesn't count.

The moment he fell in, Cheng Shi swam a short distance away. He looked back with great interest, eager to know what kind of "goods" his "teammates" were in God of Merriment's eyes.

But when he turned around, he suddenly froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Mo Li was the first to fall in. The moment he crashed into the Giggle and Mock, he transformed into a magic hammer. However, this magic hammer was not balanced. The two ends of the hammerhead were different sizes. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for a blunt-tipped short-handled axe.

Hu Wei followed closely behind, his image as a good older brother unchanged, still a big, unappealing figure with nothing to say.

Interestingly, this big pancake was also stunned for a moment after seeing the spider web that Cheng Shi transformed into, and then it took out the greatsword that looked like a golden apricot tree amidst the Giggle and Mock!

But soon he seemed to remember something and reluctantly put the greatsword away.

Cheng Shi looked at everything before him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It's understandable that his good older brother seems to be a bit overwhelmed by the image of the spider web, since the last time he saw it, Cheng Shi's body was inhabited by a "Zhen Yi".

Long Jing's image is the most distinctive. After falling, the Acrobat transforms into three intertwined juggling balls, each painted with a different pattern. Cheng Shi observes for a while and discovers that the three patterns are a magic hammer, a flatbread, and a spider web...

What does this mean?

Are the Acrobat using the three of them as props?

Thinking about everything that happened at the Fool's Society, Cheng Shi guessed that perhaps this Acrobat, like himself, was also good at impersonating others.

Hu Xuan was the last one. When she fell in, everyone felt their vision suddenly brighten for a moment, because her image amidst the Giggle and Mock was just like her identity—a miniature sun.

However, the moment the sun fell, it seemed to be attracted by something, instinctively and unconsciously approaching Cheng Shi, and then... it got stuck in the spider web that Cheng Shi had turned into.

Yes, the sun was captured and hung on a spider web!

Cheng Shi was stunned, and Hu Xuan was also stunned.

This was her first time stepping into the creation of [Deception]. Although she felt amazed and new about everything here, she was certain that she had not actively "swum" towards Cheng Shi, but was pulled here by an irresistible force.

Hu Xuan was very curious, but she didn't ask, because it was obviously not appropriate to discuss "internal" issues here.

Cheng Shi was also curious, but his ability to react was far more sophisticated than Hu Xuan's. He sensed the anomaly but did not remain silent. Instead, he suddenly spoke to Hu Xuan:

"#...#@¥%"

After realizing her voice was being distorted, Hu Xuan understood and replied with, "...%*¥@#".

Then the two of them fell silent at the same time.

The actions of these two would be considered strange anywhere else, but at this moment, in the eyes of the other three, they seemed perfectly normal.

Because Giggle and Mock are inherently absurd places.

And after this little incident, Mo Li and the others were no longer so surprised that the sun was hanging on the spider web.

After all, everyone knew that Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan were acquainted, and Hu Xuan's arrival was to save Cheng Shi. So no matter what posture the two of them maintained in the Change River in front of everyone, it seemed...

You understand everything?

Mo Li chuckled lightly, no longer dwelling on it. The moment he saw that Cheng Shi was a spider web, the First Assistant minister in the player's eyes had already acknowledged the value of the Fate Weaver in front of him.

Think about it, how could a Fate Weaver who is summoned by Destiny, favored by good fortune, and even seen as part of the "web of Destiny" by Deception, possibly continue to remain unknown?

Blind Man, your unshakeable status Chosen of God one of Destiny has finally met a powerful challenger.

The clash between these Destiny must be quite exciting, right?

Thinking of this Mo Li smiled knowingly.

But this was not the time to relax. The crisis was not completely over, and the group could not stop here. So Hu Wei glanced out into the Void and, seeing that Golis's resentment had not followed them, he turned his back to the group and shouted, then took the lead and "swam" into the depths.

The others exchanged glances and followed, until they had walked for nearly an hour before the leading Grand Marshal stopped and turned to look at the group behind him.

He took out the apricot tree again and slammed it against a round mirror beside him.

"Splash—"

The mirror cracked and shattered, and a huge suction force suddenly erupted, pulling everyone in.

Cheng Shi looked at this familiar scene with slight surprise.

His vision returned to darkness, and when Cheng Shi opened his eyes again, he found himself seemingly in a vast wilderness.

The cool night wind swept the desolation of the wilderness towards them. With just a gentle breath, they felt all the tension and oppression from their escape route vanish, and they felt a sense of liberation.

At this point, the tension in everyone's hearts eased, and they could finally say "we've escaped death." Cheng Shi also knew that his story had finally come to an end.

What follows will be the beginning of a completely new story.

Because he had already seen a burly man, no less imposing than Hu Wei, standing beside a crackling campfire not far away, staring at the group with eyes like copper bells, and exclaiming in utter shock:

"Damn it, Old Hu, did you bring people to surround me?"

"?"

Hu Wei a bitter laugh, tossed aside his greatsword, and walked wearily towards the campfire. He sat cross-legged on the ground, spat, and said:

"Damn it, Zhen Yi tricked me again. If it weren't for my brother, I would have really been done for this time."

He then forced a smile and looked at the crowd behind him.

"Please sit down, everyone. This is where I have a small gathering with my friends. There is no danger; we are safe now."
