The Fool of the Gods

My head hurts so much.

It was like the explosion after a hangover, and it was like countless thorns stirring in my brain.

It hurts so much.

Cheng Shi was awakened by the pain.

But no matter how painful it was, he didn't dare to frown or open his eyes.

Because he didn't know if Su Yida was still around, and he was not sure if the surroundings were safe.

But when a person is unconscious, the breath is obviously different from when he is awake. Perhaps most people can't tell the difference, but Tao Yi can.

Because she is also a master of this, a master of pretending to be unconscious.

"Are you awake?"

Is it the voice of a big star?

Cheng Shi's heart jumped, but he still didn't speak.

Tao Yi felt the power of recovery flowing in Cheng Shi's body, and chuckled:

"Okay, open your eyes, it's safe, we're out."

Out?

Out from where? Where are we?

Cheng Shi thought again and again, and slowly opened his eyes.

A touch of pink hanging hair came into view. It seems that the voice just now was not disguised by someone, it was really Tao Yi.

"You were unconscious for 12 hours. You're really good. Do you know how we managed to survive without a priest for more than ten hours?"

12 hours?

Cheng Shi felt a little cold on his body. He hugged his arms and took the opportunity to touch the ring on his finger.

1, 2, 3, 4, all four are there. They are not lost?

He was a little shocked in his heart, but he asked weakly on the surface:

"What happened?"

Tao Yi's face was full of anxiety. She pointed to the top of Cheng Shi's head.

"Yan Han, after walking out of the void rift, we fell into the ice field. The wind was howling outside. It was freezing cold. If you don't wake up, the four of us will be hypothermic."

"Four?"

Tao Yi's face darkened and nodded:

"Well, Zhao Qian... is dead.

There is no body left, only a pile of ashes."

Zhao Qian? Dead?

The believer of [War] who held blood and fire in his hands, actually died?

Who killed him, Su Yida?

Where is Su Yida?

Cheng Shi had just woken up from death, his head was dizzy and full of doubts.

But he didn't have much time to think at this time, so he had to know immediately what happened during the time he died.

So he made a bold move:

He held Tao Yi's hand.

Tao Yi was stunned, then smiled and let him hold it.

"There is no firewood, it's all burned. If you feel cold, just hold me tight."

Cheng Shi did not relax his expression because of Tao Yi's thoughtfulness. He looked at Tao Yi's face very solemnly and asked:

"Can I trust you?"

Tao Yi didn't expect Cheng Shi to ask such a question. She first widened her eyes, and then frowned.

"What degree of trust?"

"To know each other!"

She looked at Cheng Shi, her eyes quickly turned around.

"Whose believer are you?"

Cheng Shi's eyes never moved, serious and sincere:

"Death, I am a believer of Death."

"......" Tao Yi opened her mouth wide, with surprise on her face, "I should have thought that you were the gravekeeper, but you lied to me all the way, and you still want me to be sincere to you?"

"Can I trust you?"

"Well... 50%, you can trust me when you don't lie to me."

Cheng Shi finally smiled, and he whispered quickly:

"Tell me everything that happened, I need to know everything."

"Where to start?"

"Start from when you found me."

...

Time goes back to the time of the decree.

Cheng Shi calculated whose believer he would play in this trial as soon as he confirmed the lineup of this game.

[Order].

Obviously, in a trial with a companion, a priest of [Order] can slightly restrain the virtue of this companion to prevent him from doing too much rebellious behavior.

But just as he was about to carry out the decree, he suddenly had a bolder idea.

Since [Lies Like Yesterday] are all deceptions and false beliefs, does it count if you "cheat" the gods?

After all, the power of talent comes from [fraud], and He approved of that deception.

So Cheng Shi made another bold attempt.

He quietly broke off a blade of grass and sacrificed this insignificant death to the being on the throne.

This was not a decree of [fraud], but a decree of [death] itself.

There was no special meaning in Cheng Shi's doing this, he just wanted to show his affection for the belief he was about to borrow.

Then, he silently recited a prayer to the dice of fate, praying to become a believer of [death].

Unexpectedly, the decree was successful.

The God of Fun supported him as always!

He abandoned the constraints of [order] and obtained [Death】immunity.

As for the so-called [birth], it is nothing more than adding another layer of disguise to keep an extra hand for oneself.

It is definitely not because of the habit of simple deception.

So...

Today, Cheng Shi is a believer of [Death] and a gravekeeper.

...

"Mr. Cui took me to find you who was unconscious and Gao Yu who was dying..."

Comatose...

It seems that it is true that he really died.

Cheng Shi felt that his talent as a gravekeeper had been activated once, which means that there is no problem with his memory. Su Yida did kill him once.

It's just that the backhand he left saved his life.

The gravekeeper's talent is to stay alive, which is also the inspiration of Cheng Shi's "XX of the Dead" series of drugs.

As priests of [Death], they act on His will, which can turn the healing light into the dark light of death, and decide whether the target who received their treatment can die.

They are like the gatekeepers of hell, choosing the sacrifices dedicated to Him according to their own wishes.

Of course, the sacrifices that belonged to Him could not be reduced at will. Every time the gravekeeper took a sacrifice, he had to make up for it.

This also led to the gravekeeper becoming the priest profession with the most murders, and became the real nurse who brought death.

Cheng Shi now owed Him a sacrifice.

"After finding you, Cui Lao and I dragged you through three void rifts and finally got out of the void and fell into this ice field.

But at that time, you and Gao Yu could hardly hold on. We dragged you two to find a place to shelter from the wind on the endless ice field, and during this period we met Su Yida again."

"You met him on the ice field!?"

"Yes, his condition was not good either. He was frozen all over and almost died on the ice field.

Fortunately, he was holding a large handful of broken wood and branches in his arms...

We guessed that he probably didn't have a way to light a fire, so he froze like that.

But we didn't have one either, and later I used the last bit of [Prosperity] to wake up Gao Yu and ignite the frozen firewood.

But the wind was too strong, and it was hard to keep the fire going, so we camped on the spot... and took turns guarding the camp outside. After half a night of warming the fire, we finally saved a few people.

But now... the firewood has burned out. "

Cheng Shi followed Tao Yi's gaze and found that there was an area around his waist that was covered with ashes.

"Gao Yu and Su Yida have both woken up, but you have been in a coma. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't wake you up.

In the end, it was Su Yida who secretly took out a pill and saved you."

"?" Cheng Shi was a little confused, "Su Yida? He saved me? Where did the pill come from? The portable space..."

Before he could try, Tao Yi replied:

"It's still locked. It's the furnace of 'Sudden Return of Light' that you refined at the beginning. Do you remember?

Su Yida's mind is not as superficial as he seems. When he snatched the pills, he deliberately kept some of them on his body.

We never thought that one furnace of pills could be accumulated into two pills, otherwise I would have collected some.

Although the amount he hid was not large, it was still effective. At least you really woke up."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi's face became as complicated as possible.

This colleague is really amazing.

Knowing his identity, he used [Mirage in the Cracks between Reality and Illusion] to reproduce the medicine that he had made with [Sacrifice to Nothingness] and could not preserve.

The problem is that this only medicine was actually used on himself?

Why?

He killed himself and saved himself?

What is he doing?

Cheng Shi wanted to ask, but it was too obvious, so he could only ask little by little.

"Why don't you all come in?"

"..."

Tao Yi didn't say anything, but the miserable look on her face seemed to give the answer.

Cheng Shi frowned, turned his head and looked around in the dim light through the "tent", and soon found that the material used to build the tent seemed familiar...

"This is..."

Cui Lao's skin?

Cheng Shi was stunned instantly.

This tent, which could only accommodate two or three people curled up, was actually made of Cui Lao's skin!

"Well, you can see that Mr. Cui is in a bad condition. The tent... the tent could be destroyed by the strong wind at any time, so we take turns to guard the camp outside to ensure that the only safe haven is not destroyed..."

"Outside..."

"The wind is howling, and the ice is frozen. In the distance are icebergs that can never be approached. Underfoot is frozen soil that no magic power can break. There is no grass growing in sight, only ice.

The conditions are tooThe weather is too bad. We can neither dig a coffin camp nor build a shelter. But the cold wind mixed with the cold is still getting worse. We have no other choice..."

"..."

Cheng Shi did not expect that the current environment would become so bad before he could sort out the memories in the void.

"But it's good now. You're awake. Come on, Cheng Shi, give them a healing spell. They can't hold on any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi felt a biting cold wind coming in from his feet.
