The Astonishing Truth Behind the Fool's Society

However, none of that matters. What she wants is not for Cheng Shi to admit to any behavior, but to understand his attitude. As long as this Fate Weaver does not deny the fact that he helped people, it proves that he is at least not a bad person.

As their conversations deepened, the Blind Man felt more and more that Cheng Shi was more suitable to Fire Keeper.

Of course, Cheng Shi did not come away empty-handed from this question and answer session; at least his probing had worked.

The Blind Man did not refute his fabricated account of the Trials, which means that Blind Man knew nothing about the Fire Keeper's Trials; she only knew that she had helped the Fire Keeper.

Therefore, the answer to everything lies in that Fool's Society, and the key to breaking through is one's own attitude towards Cui Qiushi!

Cheng Shi felt a chill run down his spine and secretly warned himself that next time he encountered someone with Memory, he must not act strangely on his own.

"Is it my turn again?"

The Blind Man nodded slightly:

"I know what you want to know, but you don't need to ask. I'll just tell you directly."

The Fool's Society —all the answers lie in that Fool's Society.

We suspect that the gathering was initiated by a Folly Believer, but in the end, it was used by the Fire Keeper to set a trap.

We decorated that rusty Stage with dreams, and then...

The Blind Man made no secret of what had happened at the Fool's Society. Even after Cheng Shi had dragged everything he could see into Golis's resentment, the story, which was still far from over, was explained in detail.

Even after Qin Xin and the Blind Man man left, she clearly recounted the events surrounding Old Man's appearance and Chen Shu to the stage!

Yes, she even knew about Qin Xin and what happened after she "left".

"Qin Xin's perception is far more acute than mine. During our conversation, he used his eyes to tell me that there were other people present. So we made a fake retreat to create the last space for the person hiding behind the scenes to show up."

However, we never expected that the person hidden in the crowd would be him, the Chosen of God of [Time], Old Man.

It's not that I don't want to call him by his name, but this person has always referred to himself as 'Benton,' and no one has ever known his real name.

He appeared and was frightened away by the Chen Shu, but the dream of [Memory] had not yet dissipated. We made a trap outside the dream and caught him as he ran away... and the Chen Shu that followed him out of the scene.

The name of the Fire Keeper is never revealed unless the torch is being sought, so we must resolve the fact that these two know about the organization. Of course, before any conflict occurs, considering the strength of the other side, we are willing to resolve the conflict in a gentle manner.

Qin Xin offered them two vials of remembrance, but Old Man and Chen Shu both refused to use them.

However, their attitudes were quite different.

Chen Shu..."

When the name was mentioned again, the Blind Man paused for a few seconds for some reason before continuing with a strange expression, "Chen Shu said he had a better way to solve this problem without having to lose his memory. After considering it for a long time, Qin Xin agreed to his method."

"..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi was speechless.

The name had a magical quality; just hearing it could silence people. He could even imagine how Chen Shu managed to get Qin Xin and the Blind Man to accept his solution in complete silence.

Hiss--

Could it be that he... wants to join the Fire Keeper?

"He chose to join the Fire Keeper," the Blind Man said in a complicated tone.

"..."

What did I tell you?!

Cheng Shi was numb.

As expected of the Chosen of God of "Silence" and the second most unlucky one, this thought process is simply amazing!

The Blind Man paused for a long time before continuing, "But Old Man rejected all the plans. He was not prepared to forget all of this and was trying to break out of the dream Qin Xin had created."

So, left with no other choice, we—including Chen Shu —joined forces and killed him.

"A Chosen of God, just like that, is dead?" Cheng Shi still couldn't believe it. He even wanted to switch back to [Destiny] to see if the Top Rank at the top of the list on the Ladder of Audience was really gone.

"Not yet, the arrival of the Special Trial gave him a few extra days."

But he will surely die once this Trials is over.

This is Destiny, Predestination in silence, and oblivion in Memory.

Looking at Cheng Shi's solemn face, the Blind Man laughed again, "I think I've been sincere enough, Cheng Shi, what about you?"

"What about me?" Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, glanced at the Pocket Watch in his hand, and realized that the next hour was about to arrive. So he directly took out a Scalpel and slashed it across the Blind Man's neck.

Out of respect for the Fire Keeper, the strike was weak, purely out of caution. The Blind Man didn't even flinch, looking directly into Cheng Shi's eyes and smiling:

"You are very similar to the Fire Keeper, except that you will never admit it, while we are true to our word."

Cheng Shi, join us. You don't have to see the Fire Keeper as a burden; you can completely...

"What is Qin Xin's identity?" Cheng Shi's Scalpel stopped in front of the Blind Man's neck. He couldn't determine whether the fact that one party didn't fight back counted as a conflict, so he could only change his approach from wiping to striking, turning the scalpel handle and lightly tapping the Blind Man's shoulder.

Although the blow wasn't very forceful, the Blind Man still staggered.

Her face darkened instantly, and she was about to speak when Cheng Shi interrupted her with a smile:

"Sorry, but it's better to be cautious."

I mean his role among the Fire Keeper.

The Blind Man frowned slightly, then sighed, but did not react to the matter. He simply replied quietly, "If you want to know, you can ask him yourself."

"Could he be the founder of the Fire Keeper?"

A Believer in "Memory" founded an organization that opposes Him?

What, does he intend to offer this blasphemous Memory to his 'terrible' Lord of Grace?

The Blind Man man gave Cheng Shi a strange look Cheng Shi said, "You don't need to trick me, and I won't respond. I've said enough today. Have these secrets swayed you?"

"Hmm, almost there, just a little more." Cheng Shi chuckled, seemingly unaware that he had gotten the better deal, and instead shamelessly pressed on, "I'm curious, what did you mean by saying 'I can trust you in this trial'?"

The Blind Man seemed to have anticipated Cheng Shi's question. She smiled and took out a long, thin syringe from her spatial storage.

"This is it. Whether you choose to join or not, Qin Xin and I will continue to use this unused tube of remembrance after this Trials."

This is not a deliberate forgetting, but rather the respect that the Fire Keeper insists on for those who helped Fire Keeper and for another Fire Seeker.

So before I remembered your intricate connections with the Fire Keeper, I naturally believed you, Cheng Shi.

But what if I forget all of this...?

Cheng Shi curled his lips and shook his head. "If I choose to join, and you forget everything about me, how am I supposed to prove my identity to you?"

"The Proof of Fire Keeping." The Blind Man's expression turned solemn. She flicked an exceptionally bright flame emblem from her sleeve and showed it to Cheng Shi for a moment. "I will give you the Proof of Fire Keeping to prove your identity. When the Fire Keeper see this emblem, they will know that you are trustworthy... one of their own."

So Cheng Shi, have you made up your mind?

"Yes, I've made up my mind!" Cheng Shi's expression changed many times before finally becoming extremely serious.

The Blind Man suddenly raised his head, and a glimmer of expectation seemed to shine in his eyes, which were bound by black cloth. "You..."

"I've decided to listen to you and go check out the magma crystal mine outside town."

Let's go, let's go now!

As he spoke, Cheng Shi took the lead and strode out into the alley, braving the dry breeze.

"..."

The Blind Man was stunned, but soon burst out laughing.

"This Fate Weaver is truly... an extraordinary person."
