Cherreads

Chapter 65 - the sharpest lie is a beautiful truth

Rain began to drizzle just as the second half started but no one on the field looked up.They couldn't afford to

Kei stood in the center of the pitch eyes unfocused but mind racing.Every pass he made in the first half was being replayed now on a screen in someone's head.Every turn every hesitation even the fakes that didn't land were part of their database now

And the worst part was he admired it

It was beautiful in a terrifying way

Across from him the opposing captain gave a small nod as if to say keep going push further

And Kei did

But he didn't push with his feet

He pushed with lies

He began passing not where the play should go but where the system wanted it to go then used the system's own analysis to build a trap.Pass after pass he fed false patterns intentionally skewed his own rhythm so slightly that it took five repetitions to notice

By the sixth the mirror copied it

And that was when Kei snapped it in half

A single outside boot pass into open space

Ren wasn't even looking but his instincts trusted it and he dashed in

Goal

The stadium didn't erupt

It held its breath

Kei walked away not celebrating

"Let them analyze that" he muttered

The opposing team looked shaken.Some began arguing.Their beautiful system had just eaten poison

And the one who served it was already planning the next dose

The rain fell harder now but Kei's eyes burned brighter

Because sometimes the sharpest weapon wasn't speed or skill

It was a lie so perfect it became truth
