Not Your House Still Has Visitors Coming Over!!??
After Cheng Shi knocked several times, there was finally a response from inside the door.
Afros, dressed in a black robe adorned with gold and moonlight, pushed open the door and stood before Cheng Shi with a serious and solemn expression, a stark contrast to his previous "Filth and Decay" state.
Cheng Shi as he was about to ask "What happened?", he saw a pair of star-like eyes that he would never forget open behind Afros in the pitch-black hall of the Evil Infant Tribunal!
Nebulae form the disk, stars the markers, and the flowing galaxy constantly erodes the riverbed of the Void, changing course and direction, like the ticking of an Hour Hand in those eyes.
The stars in his eyes flickered, as if harmonizing with the flow of time. The frequency of their twinkling was as fast as the blink of an eye, but it always seemed as if he could see the end of time, slow and eternal.
Cheng Shi met those eyes without any preparation. By the time he realized who this "being" in Afros's house was, it was too late. He felt that his soul had already been sublimated to a higher dimension during the eye contact, and he had almost seen all the past and future of the place where he was.
Time circles and twists into knots, allowing countless timelines to pass Cosmos, yet this independent knot of time always floats silently in the Nothingness, serene and lonely.
He was shocked by the scene before him, and a feeling of insignificance rose in his heart. But before he could savor the sorrow of his insignificance, Cheng Shi's consciousness was instantly pulled back into his body. His eyes glazed over, and he stood there frozen.
Seeing his brother in this state, Afros offered neither explanation nor comfort, and couldn't even muster an apologetic smile.
Because in His presence, no one dares to overstep the bounds.
"..."
Cheng Shi was in a daze for a moment. When he fully recovered from the shock, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He clenched his teeth and stiffly turned to look at Afros in front of him, his eyes filled with the most panicked and helpless light in the Cosmos.
Hey bro, why are there people visiting your place?
You have guests at home, so say something!
If you had simply said "I'm not available today," would I have knocked on the door for so long? Would I dare to knock on the door for so long?
Now what do we do? Face the family head-on, huh?
Who could this be? Who else could it be?! Anyone who takes one look would know that this "being" is "Time"!
I just got slightly scammed by a Believer in "time" and before I even had a chance to go back and cause trouble, wow, the bigger one is here first.
No, do you guys even have a sense of time?
If you're really being unreasonable, don't blame me...
Let's be patient for now!
My Lord of Grace told me to learn to be patient, and I am patient!
Afros was also surprised. He didn't know why [Time] had suddenly arrived here, because he hadn't even said a word to this [being], who had just arrived!
Just a second before Cheng Shi knocked on the door!
Afros was initially uneasy, but upon seeing Cheng Shi, he suddenly felt less anxious. He realized that the being behind him was most likely not there to find him, but rather... his brother who always brought surprises.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
[Time] spoke, and as always, it was concise and to the point.
But no one dared to respond to the "long time no see," and the scene fell silent for a moment.
Cheng Shi didn't dare to answer because he felt that [Time] wasn't talking to him. After all, this was his first audience with [Time]... no, it couldn't be called an audience, more like an encounter. This was the first time he had encountered [Time], so he assumed that the only person the other party hadn't seen in a long time was Afros in front of him.
Afros closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
He is a prisoner of time, a sinner imprisoned in the cage of time. After guessing that the warden came here not to find him, he naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble.
Cheng Shi saw that the other person had closed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but worry about Afros's performance.
Brother, this is the god who sentenced you! How dare you be so stubborn and throw a tantrum?
Do you think Birth can save you, or Filth and Decay can save you?
If they could have protected you, how could you possibly be locked up here?!
Cheng Shi was numb. He was afraid that Time would take its anger out on him Afros's wrath, and thus also imprison him in the Time Cage.
So he stiffly tried to wink at Afros, but Afros, with his eyes closed, couldn't see his wink, and the scene fell into an endless silence.
Cheng Shi was sweating profusely and was on the verge of collapse.
But just when the atmosphere was so strangely awkward that it was almost unbearable, someone suddenly responded.
The person who spoke was Cheng Shi, but the person who actually said it was not him.
"·haven't seen you for a long time."
The Lips of Foolish Play spoke.
When Mouth Brother said those words, Cheng Shi and Afros were both stunned.
Afros suddenly opened his eyes, staring intently at Cheng Shi, as if trying to guess whether his brother had some unknown and deeply hidden identity.
And Cheng Shi...
I was terrified.
He had met many gods, but this was the first time that Mouth Brother had spoken up in front of a god!
It ignored even the God of Merriment, yet it spoke up in front of Time, the rival of Nothingness!
Wait a minute! Mouth Brother, you wouldn't happen to be... a lackey of [Existence]... ptooey, ptooey, [Existence], would you?
The gaze of the Eyes of Time swept across the Cheng Shi, devoid of joy or sorrow, grief or happiness. Its tone was as Indifference as the passage of time, leaving no trace of emotion.
"You've found it."
"Yes, I found it."
???
Cheng Shi was terrified, but that didn't stop him from listening to the gossip while he was scared. It was like a hostage being held at gunpoint; even though he was trembling and his Ear were weak, he could still hear the kidnappers gossiping about his sister-in-law.
After all, it's the legs that are weak, what does that have to do with my Ear?
I'm not easily Ear.
So, what did Mouth Brother find?
"But He hasn't found it yet."
"It's none of your business."
!!
Mouth Brother, are you trying to kill me?!
Cheng Shi Shizhen began to tremble. She knew that even if the person speaking was Lips of Foolish Play, she was the one standing in front of [Time]!
The terror of a human saying "It's none of your business" to a deity is something that only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly grasp.
In other words, this is probably the first case in the history of the existence of gods.
An act of blasphemy committed to the face of God, worthy of being recorded in history!
Cheng Shi wanted to defend himself, but he held back because he felt that he couldn't let his own people lose face at this time, and this "own people" was obviously Mouth Brother.
So he gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly comforting himself, pretending that he was just listening to two old men gossiping at the village entrance.
Fortunately, Time was not angry. Time was constantly Change, but the eyes in front of me seemed to remain unchanged for eternity.
Time will tell.
The Eye of Time sighed, then quietly closed its eyes and left the place, just as it had come. No one knew why it left again, or why it left behind these incomprehensible words.
Of course, Cheng Shi and Afros didn't understand, and as for whether Mouth Brother Zui understood or not... Cheng Shi was already frantically wondering in his mind.
But after the "Time" period Lips of Foolish Play fell silent, returning to their aloof state and refusing to respond to Cheng Shi's barrage of questions.
Just as Cheng Shi could no longer contain his curiosity, Afros began his... barrage of questions.
"My good brother, shouldn't you explain to me what just happened...?"
Why?
As he spoke, Afros turned around and transformed himself into a woman again.
He did not do it intentionally; it was just that after fear, surprise, and joy, the suppressed emotions in his heart exploded as time passed, and the power of Filth and Decay within him could no longer be controlled.
He removed his robe and reached out to Cheng Shi, wanting to truly pull Cheng Shi into the Abyss of desire. However, Cheng Shi completely ignored him. He simply took a step back and blocked the other party's hand outside the door, then continued to frantically eat melons while watching Mouth Brother.
Unable to bear the constant teasing, and annoyed by the questions, the Lips of Foolish Play decided to give Cheng Shi a Cheng Shi punishment as a warning. So, Cheng Shi had been keeping his head down, suddenly spoke up:
"I'm sorry, I've just regained some of my Memory and realized that I was actually..."
Afros paused, pressing himself against the impenetrable air portal, his gaze piercing as he said:
Who is it!?
By the Cheng Shi realized something was wrong, it was too late. He was about to raise his hand to cover his mouth when he heard two words uttered forcefully from his lips:
"Your father."
"..."
That's it, let it be destroyed.
