Is This a Joke, Brother? Why Are You Pretending to Be a Mirror?!

Indeed, Long Jing's Mask has been lost.

In a Trials long ago, he hid his Mask somewhere to conceal his identity, but unexpectedly the Trials ended abruptly, and he was sent out of the Trials before he could retrieve his Mask.

From then on, Long Jing became a Believer in Deception without any Token of Deception.

Fortunately, he also possessed the ability to Edict of Passage, because he discovered that even an ordinary Mask could be used to issue Edict of Passage in his hands.

After learning this, he gradually gave up the idea of retrieving the Mask.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he had prayed for so long without being able to return to the relevant history of that previous Trials, so he had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, after Cheng Shi revealed this most secret matter, Long Jing finally couldn't hold back his emotions under the repeated shock.

"Who... are you?"

Cheng Shi smiled strangely, "You believe it?"

"I..."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Long Jing's eyes, but the next second he believed it, completely believed it, because Mouth Brother said another sentence:

"It seems you've forgotten me."

"Forgot?" Long Jing was stunned for a moment, then his whole body trembled, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice, "It's you!?!"

Cheng Shi looked completely bewildered, but that didn't stop Mouth Brother from continuing his performance.

He smiled casually, then introduced himself:

"Let's get to know each other again. My name is Fool's Game. I am the Subgod of Nothingness and the Emissary of Deception."

Don't look at me like that. I guess you can guess why I came to find you.

Since you had the courage to take my tongue, you must have guessed this day would come, right?

"!!??"

This time, not only Long Jing was shocked, but even Cheng Shi, who was using someone else's power, was stunned.

What's going on?

What exactly is Mouth Brother talking about?

What does it mean to take away its tongue?

Could it be that Tongue Brother was... picked up by Long Jing?

How come he's so good at picking things up... wait, where did he pick them up from?

Cheng Shi was stunned, and Long Jing was even more stunned, because he found that everything suddenly seemed to make sense.

Previously, he was always unsure about Cheng Shi's identity because he always thought of Cheng Shi as a player, a player with ulterior motives. But now, who would have thought that the other party would actually be an Emissary!

He must be the Emissary of the Lord of Grace, because He has never told anyone about everything He knows!

Especially the origin of that Tongue of Lies!

Besides them, Long Jing couldn't imagine anyone else knowing all this.

Even if Believer with "Memory" happens to "recreate" that scene, he can't possibly "recreate" his other Memory as well, can he?

Furthermore, the Tongue of Lies was never activated in this game is the best proof that the other party has the ability to control the tongue. Therefore, who else could it be but the master of the tongue?

Ha, if just one tongue can be separated into an S-class artifact, then how could he not be a "He" as the owner of the tongue?

So Long Jing believed it.

It turns out that [Deception] also has Emissary. No, [Deception] should have Emissary, but no one has ever discovered who its Emissary is.

But today! Now!

He had actually encountered a living [Deception] Emissary, who even introduced himself, saying that his name was... [Fool's Game]!

No wonder!

No wonder He sparred with Zhen Yi, no wonder He came looking for Him—it all happened for this tongue!

His tongue!

Call--

Long Jing suddenly felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, I was quick-witted and chose to test the other party with that contract. So, when the other party accepted the contract that meant ownership of the Tongue of Lies, did it mean that the other party had "forgiven" my sin of stealing the tongue?

Thinking of this, Long Jing's expression slowly Change.

His fear vanished. When he realized that the person in front of him was neither Zhen Yi nor Cheng Shi, but the Emissary of his Lord of Grace, his previous panic and trembling disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became fervent.

He seemed to have forgotten his recent experience of desperately fleeing from an Emissary. Now, facing another Emissary, he actually smiled—a happy smile.

How can someone else's Emissary the same as your own?

Besides, this is no Emissary; it is a treasure trove, a vast source of intelligence, a guiding light on the path of Deception, a shortcut to approaching the will of one's Lord of Grace, and an excellent opportunity to catch up Chosen of God or even surpass the Chosen of God!

In short, this isn't an enemy, it's a father!

Living father!

Long Jing understood, and as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm and ridicule from Mouth Brother Zui, he took a half step forward and his face broke into an undisguised Fawning smile.

The speed of this Change is truly worthy of the name of Acrobat.

"My Lord Foolish Play, as you can see, I have only temporarily borrowed this... uh, your tongue, but I have already returned the contract to you, haven't I?"

This is all a misunderstanding!

I was wondering why that tongue shone so brightly during that Trials, guiding me to find it. It turns out it was yours, no, I should say the radiance of my Lord.

Even your tongue carries this gleam of Deception, let alone you.

My lord, you must believe me. All my previous doubts were not doubts at all; I was simply drawn to your radiance without realizing it!

Also, does the Lord Foolish Play need a local guide when traveling in the human world?

While I am certainly no match for your shrewdness in deception, I do possess some strength. Would I have the honor of assisting you with any troublesome matters that you find inconvenient to handle?

"..."

Looking at Long Jing's smiling face in front of him, Cheng Shi suddenly felt a little dazed for a moment.

Is this still the same sharp-tongued and cunning person who ranked second on the "Deception" list?

Is this the same Acrobat whose pupils suddenly contracted and whose whole body trembled just a moment ago?

This shamelessness reminds me so much of myself at times.

Why are you acting like me?

Good grief, so all this time I've been putting on this show for you, and you've turned yourself into a mirror image, haven't you?

Long Jing, oh Long Jing, tone down your flavor. I still prefer your unruly self from just now.

Cheng Shi was numb, but he didn't say anything because he felt that the role of Mouth Brother might not be over yet.

But to his surprise, Mouth Brother actually muted his microphone.

The moment Long Jing acknowledged Cheng Shi's identity Cheng Shi "Fool's Game," Lips of Foolish Play began to feign death again, and the scene inexplicably fell silent.

Cheng Shi's smile did not fade. This "read but not replied and still smiling" expression made Long Jing reflect on himself for a moment, and then he quickly composed himself and changed his words.

"Ahem, forgive my impertinence, Lord Foolish Play. What I just did was just my over-excited reaction, an occupational hazard of being Acrobat. But it's alright, I've found myself again."

Please believe me, I am a very reliable Believer [Deception].

So what I'm trying to say is that I am devout and willing to obey commands.

"..."

Wow, I've really learned something new today. I never thought that even the Clown's occupational habit could be stolen one day.

You're pretty good at stealing, being number two on the [Deception] list. No wonder you even stole the Tongue of Lies. But... where did you steal it from?

Cheng Shi wanted to ask, but he was afraid that Mouth Brother and Tongue Brother would misunderstand. He really just wanted to gossip a bit, not to see what other parts were available... no, he wanted to see what other props he could get for free...

But he knew he couldn't ask that question, so he took over the role of Mouth Brother and became the "stand-in" for the Emissary [Fool's Game].

"Do you think I need help?"

Long Jing shook his head very seriously and said, "No, the great Lord Foolish Play doesn't need help, but your brilliance makes me unconsciously move closer to you, and I always want to contribute to this [Deception] business. So, it is my one-sided desire to help you, no, to assist you. Please give me a chance."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's lips twitched.

Oh no, the mirror is even brighter now.
