Cheng Shi achieved the desired effect.

When he saw the undisguised fear in Long Jing's eyes, his smile became even more enigmatic.

Yes, I am the Clown. I'm not talented at lying, I can't lie, and my lies will be exposed by the Tongue of Lies, but...

I have an outsider... Mouth Brother!

This is Cheng Shi's greatest reliance, and the reason why he suddenly felt confident.

Because he once again brought out Mouth Brother, and this aloof Lips of Foolish Play unusually agreed to Cheng Shi's cooperation!

As for the details of the collaboration, it may take some time before we can clarify them.

Let's return to the moment when Golis's resentment Cheng Shi had rescued Long Jing!

Before dragging all the Peak Player into Golis's resentment, Cheng Shi did consider using the departed Long Jing as a casually discarded "trump card".

After all, the other party knew that he was not the real Cheng Shi. Therefore, when the matter came to an end, and when the other party mentioned him in front of others, Cheng Shi could completely shift all the chain reactions caused by the Fool's Society onto a non-existent fraudster, thus completing a logical loop that had nothing to do with himself.

But to everyone's surprise, none of the people who shouted to leave actually left.

The moment Long Jing was rescued, Cheng Shi's face darkened and he wanted to curse.

However, it was from that time on that he began to search for a new explanation for his identity.

It's not that Zhen Yi's vest is bad, it's just that after wearing it so many times, it loses its novelty.

More importantly, like other Peak Player, he's now mentally broken by this Master of Trickery. Whenever he thinks of that name, the only word that comes to mind is "bad luck," not "fun."

Continuing to play that role was becoming increasingly uncomfortable for him, so he changed his approach and began to think about how to play another new identity.

However, he only knew two scammers in the top-tier game: Zhen Yi and Long Jing, whom he had just met. He couldn't possibly pretend to be a fake Long Jing in front of a real Long Jing; that would be too absurd and nonsensical.

However, not knowing a top-tier scammer doesn't mean you can't fabricate one. But high-scoring "Deception" Believer are probably familiar with each other, so this is still not a reliable method.

But this didn't stump the Clown, because he quickly came up with an even bolder idea: why limit his thinking to Peak Player?

In other words, why limit the role to the identity of "player"?

Does that mean there aren't any top-tier scammers among non-players?

Yes, of course there are, for example...

The Emissary of the God of Merriment!

If Deception has Emissary, then He must be a "master" liar!

Playing the role of an Emissary might be difficult for others, but for Cheng Shi, no, it should be said that it's just right for Ultraman.

And once you have this identity, no matter how strange, dramatic, conflicting, or unreasonable Cheng Shi's behavior is, it will probably all be interpreted as reasonable by the "insiders".

After all, on the path of Deception, the unreasonable becomes reasonable, especially when it Emissary the being closest to Him!

So, Cheng Shi became bold for a moment and had the idea of playing the role of the [Deception] Emissary. However, he could not achieve this level of role-playing by himself alone, so he asked someone for help.

Lips of Foolish Play!

He first asked Mouth Brother a question:

"Mouth Brother, how come I've never heard of the Lord of Grace's Emissary? Does He have Emissary?"

Lips of Foolish Play remained aloof and ignored him, but Cheng Shi was not one to give up easily. During their escape, he continued to harass Mouth Brother without stopping.

"Mouth Brother, do you think He'll be angry if I impersonate His Lord of Grace's Emissary?"

"Mouth Brother, would you like to play a new role with me?"

"Since you've tacitly agreed, I'll take that as your consent."

"Then it's settled. Can you ask Tongue Brother for me if it can help out too? You two can put on an epic double act and kill this Acrobat, how about that?"

"This is hilarious! I was about to burst out laughing, why didn't you react?"

"Great, you didn't refuse, so I'll continue. Hmm... let me think. Since you're in charge of this Mouth Brother, yes, you're in charge, and I'm just writing the script, as everyone knows, the lead actors are the most important in a performance because they get paid the most."

The more money you receive, the greater the responsibility you should bear.

Mouth Brother Zui, don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. If our Lord of Grace comes looking for trouble, I will of course take some of the blame.

Um... what I mean is, we all share some responsibility, right?

Very well, you've tacitly agreed again.

The next issue is identity. Fabricating an Emissary's identity is rather frightening, but based on my understanding of Lord of Grace Le... if He has Emissary, then this Emissary's name might be...

Not too serious?

Since that's the case, why don't we call it...

"Giggle Monster?"

"..."

The Lips of Foolish Play remained unresponsive, but Cheng Shi felt that the Tongue of Lies in his personal space twitched slightly upon hearing the Divine Name.

Of course, it could also be an illusion.

"Isn't this too unconventional? Subgod's name should be pretty high-class. Let me think about it again. How about 'The Cold Gaze of Deception'?"

Or is it a 'Eternal Deception's Lie'?

We can't exactly call him a 'Smiling Clown', can we?

No, absolutely not!

Cheng Shi began to rack his brains. Before he received a response from the Lips of Foolish Play, he became deeply engrossed in the play and started worrying about his new name. However, he couldn't come up with a good name all the way. It wasn't until the moment when everyone cleaved through the Void and fell down Giggle and Mock Cheng Shi finally came up with a perfect name.

"I always felt that the Lord of Grace's Emissary did not need to have names similar to other Emissary; [Deception] had to have its own style."

Since you're the lead actor, Mouth Brother, how about we just call it... 'Fool's Game'? It's concise and clear, what do you think?

Well, since you're not saying anything, I'll just assume you're...

"·good."

The Lips of Foolish Play responded, suddenly responded.

Although it was only a single, extremely brief word, it was the most powerful and resounding response Cheng Shi had ever heard from Mouth Brother Zui.

This "good" startled Cheng Shi so much that he paused for a moment after the initial Giggle and Mock, but then he was overjoyed.

"Mouth Brother, you agree?"

"I don't need a script, but I can decide the lines and when I appear on screen. That's the right of a lead actor."

"?"

Something's not right, absolutely not right.

Based on Cheng Shi's understanding of Mouth Brother, it seems that it would never be so proactive, and even if it were, it would only be when it was trying to trick him.

So is it possible that it saw the fun in this and wanted to use this as an excuse to screw itself over?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly chickened out.

"Hey, Mouth Brother, if it doesn't work out, let's think about it some more. There's no rush. I should be able to come up with other solutions."

"You've changed your mind?"

"Yes!" Cheng Shi's answer was equally firm and resolute!

"Okay, you can regret yours, I'll act mine, let's each be well and not bother each other."

"..." Oh no, I have a feeling I've fallen into a trap.

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately became suspicious.

The conman's intuition told him that this matter seemed to be more complicated than it appeared.

"Mouth Brother Zui, could God of Merriment really have an Emissary named 'Fool's Game'?"

Don't tell me you were originally that Emissary!

"·yes."

"???"

Cheng Shi shuddered in fright and was about to press for more information when he heard the Lips of Foolish Play speak again:

"However, we are the true Emissary when we are united as one."

"With whom!?" Cheng Shi's pupils shrank suddenly.

"·and you."

"Me?!?!" Cheng Shi was shocked!

"Yes, it's with you. That's exactly what you wrote in the script you just made up."

"..." Cheng Shi's sharp gaze instantly lost its focus...

Is that what I meant?

Is it fun to fool Clown?

Destroy this world full of Clown!
