The Fool of the Gods

Cheng Shi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, while Hong Lin beside him was smiling.

He took two deep breaths to suppress his impatience and asked again:

"You turned Zuo Qiu into a puppet, but you can still use his innate abilities?"

This question finally hit the point, and even Hong Lin became serious and continued:

"The assassin of [Silent] has this talent? Why haven't I heard Chen Shu mention it?"

Who?

Chen Shu?

Cheng Shi was stunned, turned to look at Hong Lin, and said in a daze: "Who did you just say? Chen Shu?"

Hong Lin blinked and nodded: "Well, what, you have seen him too? You haven't cheated him too, have you?"

Cheng Shi shook his head: "I have heard this name from other people, but that should be someone who lied about his name."

"Well, normal, this kid is only a little better than Zhen Yi, and he also has enemies everywhere. If there is a title, he can probably be awarded the second unlucky."

"......"

The second unlucky is okay......

Cheng Shi thought: "So, he is the God of [Silence]?"

"Yes, an ascetic monk who is poorer than you!"

"???" Cheng Shi was dumbfounded, "What do you mean poorer than me? He is a [Silence] believer, how can he be poorer than me? Can he speak?"

Hong Lin sneered: "It seems that you also know that you are poor."

"......"

No, sister, can we communicate, is this my focus?

Just as Cheng Shi and Hong Lin were joking, the puppet master spoke again. Zuoqiu Yanou said slowly:

"Yes, I have this talent, but this talent is different from what you think. It can't last too long, so in order to maintain combat power, I should keep making new puppets."

It's not a lie!

Cheng Shi frowned slightly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Since a puppet master who can tell lies told the truth, it means that there should be no problem for the time being, but he still wants to be more safe, so he frowned and said solemnly:

"Puppet master, the last question, answer this question and our deal will be concluded.

But I have to remind you that you'd better not lie, this is your only chance.

Because I have it, Master of Deception!"

As soon as these words fell, the puppet master and Hong Lin's eyes flashed with brilliance, and they all looked at him with scrutiny!

But Cheng Shi never speaks nonsense without preparation. He immediately takes out a poker card and sticks it on his head mysteriously, with a playful smile:

"This is a 'Master of Deception' poker card, given by a magician friend of mine. I rarely use it, because although I am not a believer of [Fraud], I still know a little about deceiving people... so I can roughly judge whether someone is lying.

But you are too special. Your behavior logic seems to be smooth, but it always gives me a sense of unease, so I have to use this backhand that I never use to verify your identity.

Now, please tell me that you are a member of the Worship God Society who has no ill will towards me and Hong Lin, and a puppet master who wants to go to the Tomb of Bloodshed to find [Decay]!

This time, I want all your puppets to speak together."

After saying that, Cheng Shi looked at the puppet masters and puppets with a burning gaze.

Hong Lin was a little surprised by Cheng Shi's excessive caution, but her focus was obviously not on the puppet master. She looked quite strange and asked Cheng Shi in a playful tone:

"Not everyone can have the Master of Deception card. It requires a magician to do everything possible to deceive a liar who has the Master of Deception to get it!

I seem to have only seen one person who can deceive the 'Master of Deception' into a card. Your magician friend... can't it be her?"

Cheng Shi didn't know who the "she" in Hong Lin's mouth was, but no matter who it was, she couldn't and shouldn't be his friend. He wanted to strangle the bald man's doubt and stop her from guessing too much.

So he shook his head expressionlessly.

Seeing that he denied it, Hong Lin raised her eyebrows and didn't comment.

Instead, several puppets showed a thoughtful look, and then said in a slightly weird unison:

"Yes, what you said is correct."

The truth!

The master of deception told Cheng Shi that the puppet master who could tell lies was telling the truth.

Hearing this truth, Cheng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once bitten, one is afraid of the rope for ten years. Being a liar is simply too tiring...

But Cheng Shi did not react at all. He just silently took off the poker card on his forehead and put it back into the space, and then said again:

"We can let you go, but the divinity of [Prosperity] alone is not enough. We need to add the prop that reads [Memory].""......" Zuoqiu Yanou's lips moved for a moment, and he sighed, "You are too greedy. Even I can't afford this price."

"Why can't I afford it? Whether you can come back alive is another matter. Instead of losing this good thing in the Sighing Forest, you might as well give it to me.

Or, you lend it to me first. If you are not dead, I will return it to you when we meet next time. How about it?"

Cheng Shi gave a sincere suggestion, but this suggestion silenced all the believers of [Silence].

"......"

Zuoqiu Yanou's eyes turned contemptuous.

Do you believe this yourself?

The abacus is too loud.

Honglin started to laugh when she heard this. She hugged her arms and watched the show. Her eyes quickly jumped from one person to another. She just felt that this transaction was really interesting.

The puppet master pondered for a moment, then drove Zuoqiu Yanou again and said:

"The props of [Memory] will still be useful for my future, but... I can lend you one of the props of [Fraud]. It belongs to [Nothingness], so I think you can use it.

But remember, it's a loan.

Just as you said, when we meet again, I hope you can return it to me."

As he spoke, Zuoqiu Yanou took out something from behind and threw it in front of him. As soon as the thing landed on the ground, it twisted on the ground!

It's still alive!

It was wet, and the water stains splashed by the violent twisting almost wet the surrounding ground.

Cheng Shi and Hong Lin looked at the twisting thing, and they were stunned.

Because they found that it was clearly a tongue that could dance by itself...

?

"???"

Ah?

No, this length, it probably can't be a human tongue, right?

Cheng Shi's cerebellum was overloaded.

To be honest, this does look like something that He can make, but Master Benefactor, aren't all your props a bit... too weird?

Hong Lin was stunned at first, and then frowned in disdain.

"What the hell is this."

"【Fraud】 S-level faith prop, tongue of lies.

It is indeed a living creature and needs to eat, but as long as you feed it a lie every day, it can survive healthily and happily.

And it itself is a contract-type prop. You can use it to swear to play a truth or tell game. There is no limit to the number of participants. The person circled by it needs to ask the next person a question in turn. Whoever tells a lie will be... ahem, 'touched' on the cheek by it.

Of course, the force may not be so gentle..."

"..."

So the liar will be heavily "touched" on the cheek?

Ah?

Are you sure this is a touch?

Cheng Shi looked at the tongue in front of him, his eyes almost popped out in shock.

Big sister, this is a tongue. If you let it touch you hard, wouldn't it be the same as being slapped in the face by a tongue?

Can this be an S-level item?

The puppet master obviously saw Cheng Shi's doubts. She controlled Zuoqiu puppet to explain again:

"Fraud likes excitement, so it created this kind of thing. Although its effect is meaningless, one thing is very important, that is, it is a mandatory contract item. When you activate it, you do not need the consent of others."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi, who was still complaining in his heart just now, immediately rushed to the puppet master and put the twisting tongue into his personal space. Then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the other two, he coughed twice and said:

"Ahem, I agree to the transaction. Hand over the divinity. Well, the divinity is for the bald man.

This borrowed tongue must be returned. I can't let my teammates suffer, so I will return it when the time comes.

It just so happens that you are also His God's Chosen One. It's good to collect more [Prosperity] divinity. Don't you think so, bald man?"

Hong Lin snorted coldly and stood with his arms folded, looking at Cheng Shi with a smile and not a smile.
