The Fool of the Gods

Reality, an office building in an unknown province or city.

Ji Yue did not move the moment she opened her eyes.

She just lay on the bed with empty eyes, her pupils looking at the pure white ceiling with a complex expression on her face.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock --

Ji Yue?"

It was Fang Jue.

Ji Yue retracted her gaze, looked at the door, and called out softly: "Come in."

Fang Jue did not push the door open, he just turned the door open, then leaned against the door frame and looked at Ji Yue with a smile and joked:

"You are different today than usual. Everyone has been out for a while, why are you still lying in bed?

Failed again?"

Obviously, Fang Jue knew what she was looking for, but this process had lasted for a long time, so long that the friends in the mutual aid association began to worry about her.

Ji Yue sat up from the bed, looked at the half-soulmate in front of her, and suddenly smiled.

"Failure?

No, I succeeded."

"?"

Fang Jue was stunned, but he laughed out loud in an instant.

"Don't scare me in this way. You don't look like you succeeded."

Before she finished her words, Ji Yue stretched out her hand in front of Fang Jue.

The slender jade-like fingers were flexibly rotating in the air. Soon, wisps of hot flames were ignited at each fingertip.

Fire!

It's burning!

Fang Jue's pupils shrank when he saw this scene. He stood up straight in an instant and exclaimed in disbelief:

"You really succeeded?

[War] Fire?

Are you the second Ji Yue?

Where is your real body?"

Hearing this series of doubts, Ji Yue extinguished the flames on her fingertips and stared at her hand in a daze, her eyes becoming out of focus again.

"Success?

No, I failed."

"???" Fang Jue was stunned and stood there, "What does this mean?"

What does it mean?

I don't know what He means.

Ji Yue smiled bitterly and looked at her player panel.

[Ji Yue, female, 30 years old]

[Destiny: Civilization]

[Faith: War]

[Profession: Mage]

[Road to God: 2604, Global Ranking: 30062]

[Ladder to Audience: 181, Destiny Ranking: 34]

[Talent:

Unclear Truth (SS): Truth Abandonment Talent, impatience is the folly of burying the truth. Scholars are still scholars, but they are no longer walking on the path of truth, so you can keep His blessing, but you can no longer get His attention.

......]

Yes, Ji Yue abandoned her oath.

In the previous trial.

After she drank the "twin potion" that she had practiced thousands of times and could make almost with her eyes closed, she instantly fell into a state of dying.

This is because the so-called twin potion has never existed, and the records left in history are nothing but the imagination and fabrication of later generations.

In the absence of much verification, in the previous life-and-death crisis, although Ji Yue had the courage to burn her boats, she was not blessed with good luck.

Or she had it, but her good luck left at some point.

Fortunately, at this moment of death, the guidance given to her by [Truth] saved her life again.

The dead battlefield that she had hidden in the void suddenly came alive, pulling her back from the gates of hell with sticky blood and burning flames.

So at that moment, Ji Yue had no choice but to hold this only helping hand, and in the chant of blood and fire, she gave up her oath and became the mage of [War], the Bishop of Purgatory.

Ji Yue slowly explained all the causes and effects, then stared into Fang Jue's eyes and slowly asked:

"So you say, did I succeed, or...fail?"

"..."

Success and failure may not be easy to say, but one thing is certain, that is, Fang Jue is stupid.

He closed the door for Ji Yue with a complicated expression, thinking that at this moment, what she might need is not company, but silence.

Indeed, Fang Jue guessed right, Ji Yue did want to be quiet.

But she was not trying to calm herself down, but was considering Fang Shiqing's invitation.

An invitation called "Fire Transmitter Organization".

"Interesting." Ji Yue shook her head and laughed, she lit the flame on her fingertips again, staring at the jumping flames and fell into deep thought.

"When I can light the fire, does it mean that I...have the qualifications and ability to transmit fire?"

...

Void, the way to transmit fire.

Fang Shiqing held the petal of the Whispering Flower, which looked a little dim, in her hand and walked quickly on the stairs rising from the void.

She felt that the power of [existence] on the petal was dissipating, so she wanted to move the petal as quickly as possible.Send it to that person, and let him think of a way to save it.

These are the petals that she won back with great difficulty. If they become ineffective just because of the problem of preservation, she will never forgive herself.

But just as she was in a hurry, a "person" appeared above her head.

[Flame of Hope]!

This "He" who was protecting the fire bearer, hung upside down in the air and stopped in front of Fang Shiqing face to face, blocking her way.

Fang Shiqing stopped in her tracks and said anxiously:

"Whatever new jokes you have, wait until I come back to tell them. I'm really in a hurry."

However, after hearing this, the [Flame of Hope] not only did not move, but the flames on his body became more blazing. He looked at Fang Shiqing's eyes very seriously, and rarely joked, but said in a deep voice:

"Qingqing, your memory has been tampered with."

"!!!"

Fang Shiqing's pupils shrank suddenly, and a trace of fear surged onto her pretty face.

"Are you sure!?"

She panicked, and began to recall everything she had experienced recently, but she couldn't find out who had tampered with her memory.

You know, [Flame of Hope] had promised the Firebearers that He would protect all the memories of the Firebearers from being tampered with, unless [they] did it themselves...

Could it be...

They did it?

Who? [Memory]? Was she discovered by [Memory]?

When? Where? What did He know?

Is the Firebearer...exposed?

Fang Shiqing's body suddenly tensed up, and her face turned pale in an instant. She looked at [Flame of Hope] with begging in her eyes, begging for the answer she wanted.

But now it seems that this answer may not be what she likes.

"Don't panic, it's not Him, at least not Him personally.

Let me see, um, it's His creation, a very powerful creation.

Awesome, someone used His creation to wipe out your memories, and just now, in the trial you just experienced.

I saw an acquaintance of yours in your disappeared memory, uh, I didn't mean to look through your memory, I just saw it by accident..."

Fang Shiqing heard that it was not [Memory] who did it personally, and her heart that had jumped to her throat shrank back a little. She clenched her fists and blurted out:

"Exposed?"

"No, relax, we are still safe."

"Huh - that's good, that's good..."

Fang Shiqing only felt that her back was full of sweat, her legs softened, and she almost lost her strength and fell to the ground.

[Hope's Flame] used divine power to stabilize her body and asked:

"Are you... going to get these memories back?"

Fang Shiqing nodded very confidently:

"Yes, I must get these memories back. I need to know who I met and what I said in these lost memories.

The safety of the Fire Bearer depends on me. I cannot be deceived without knowing the truth."

[Hope's Flame] nodded and snapped his fingers with the candlelight.

"Snap!"

After a crisp sound, the lost memories came like the sea, instantly drowning Fang Shiqing's consciousness.

And at this moment when her consciousness was in chaos, [Hope's Flame] chuckled and secretly snapped his fingers twice silently.
