Chapter 1471: Vicious Threat

He is the protagonist?

After hearing 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's description, the man in the Thrush Mask, who had transformed into "Princess Caitlin," couldn't help but subconsciously lower his head to look at his lace suspender skirt and silk corset, as well as the fake breasts inside made from two tufts of chest hair.

If he is the protagonist, then what am I? A clown used for amusement?

"In short, you feel he is dangerous; this is actually not cowardice, but proof that you are sufficiently close to the Truth."

Not knowing what the man in the Thrush Mask was thinking, the gender-neutral voice said with some emotion:

"Compared to other people who joined the 【Bedtime Story】, he is like an actor born too handsome. Even if I didn't assign him many scenes or settings, as long as this character appears, he will naturally attract the vast majority of people's attention.

And the last time I saw a human with such a heavy 'role' was the third-generation Director of the Cleanup Bureau... hmm, you were right to report it in time. If such a special human individual cannot be cleared away early, I'm afraid we will have to continue hibernating for several hundred or a thousand years."

So... is it really possible for the Food God to become the second third-generation Director?

Hearing 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's judgment, the White Snake, who was listening on the side, was greatly shocked, while the man in the Thrush Mask couldn't help but ask:

"I seem to understand... but what exactly do you mean by 'role'? Could you explain it more clearly?"

"Of course I can."

Unlike the White Snake, who was always picking at things, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's attitude was extremely gentle when facing Thrush, this newly ascended, substandard Pillar God. They responded warmly:

"The Truth I master is called 【The Narrative of Nothingness】. As long as the price paid is large enough, then within the scope of the Truth I perceive, the entire world can be a fictional story.

And like the third-generation Director of the Cleanup Bureau, existences who have the ability to cause huge impacts on the entire world, or even completely change the 'direction' of the world, carry more 'weight' in this fictional story.

Additionally, wanting to drag such an existence into my story requires paying an equal or even higher price. So this time, it's not just you and White Snake, actually..."

"My lord!"

At this moment, the earring on the man in the Thrush Mask's ear shook violently. The White Snake, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but interrupt for the first time:

"You don't need to tell him everything! This matter..."

"This matter is very important, and Thrush's power must be utilized, so we shouldn't hide anything from him."

Amidst the White Snake earring's impatient shaking, the gender-neutral voice continued peacefully:

"Thrush, besides you and White Snake, I have actually already entered the 【Bedtime Story】 myself, so don't feel it's unfair. The risks we are taking are actually about the same as yours."

"?!!!"

After hearing the situation informed by 【The Narrative of Nothingness】, the man in the Thrush Mask couldn't help but have his expression freeze, then asked with disbelief:

"But... aren't you a Pillar God? With the Cleanup Bureau's 【Watchtower】 there, how did you..."

"The Watchtower blocks powers that exceed the limit of True Gods, but I am just a fragile human now. I could even die from falling off a slightly higher step, so naturally, it won't have any reaction to me."

After explaining the reason why they could bypass the 【Watchtower】, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 continued:

"I won't hide it from you. Whether my 【Bedtime Story】 can be established has a lot to do with the 'role' of the host. The 'role' of those who voluntarily enter the story and have their power erased must be far greater than the 'role' of the target to achieve the most basic balance.

And to lock onto that Cleanup Bureau Food God, forcibly erase all his power, and drag him into my Truth range, our sacrifice this time is really not just generally heavy.

Besides you and me, two Pillar Gods, and White Snake, who is infinitely close to a Pillar God, all voluntarily erasing all power to enter the story, I also used up more than 70% of the True God residues I had scavenged in the Four Shattered Realms for over a thousand years in one go.

But if you quit at this time, then these preparations will really have been in vain. Not only will my hundreds of years of accumulation be unrecoverable, but just re-compensating for those powers that were voluntarily erased will take who knows how many years." "This..."

"Thrush, I don't want to force you to cooperate with us, but you must know that as that Food God's power gradually increases, the price of dragging him into the story will also become greater and greater.

So this is likely our only, and last, opportunity to kill him early while he is still weak and completely erase this threat. I hope you can consider it carefully before making a decision!"

"..."

Facing the gentle persuasion of an ancient Pillar God and listening to 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's honest disclosure, the man in the Thrush Mask found it difficult to continue beating the retreat in his heart.

But unfortunately, 【Ang Disaster Avoidance】 seemed to have been stimulated by something, like a large bag of beans thrown into a wok, crackling and frantically warning him that "Ang Disaster" was constantly approaching.

Seeing that he was still hesitating at this point, the White Snake, who could no longer bear it, finally interrupted for the second time, threatening with extreme anger:

"Thrush! The lord has already been polite enough to you! If you still aren't willing to cooperate, then I will ask the lord to change the story now! Let that Great Witch King choose to take a son-in-law, keep the Food God, and have you marry him and have children!!!"

(？°Д°)!!!

"Achoo!!!"

【Text missing/p>

After sneezing violently, the "Evil Prince" Li Ang, whose nose was aching from the scent of pine, couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, asking with full disgust:

"Say that again? Who are you?"

"I am Shaman Luojian of the Shaman Society, responsible for receiving Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and you."

After answering Li Ang's question, the young man, who had blocked Li Ang under the landing tower with two teams of strangely dressed men and women, first bowed to Li Ang's group, then spoke with a slight apology:

"His Majesty the Great Witch King has been living in the inner court recently, and Her Highness Caitlin has to prepare for the Witch King's ritual in a few days, so only I could come to receive you... Prince Li Ang, are you prepared to go directly to the inner court, or would you like to stroll around the Secret Magic City first?"

"Go directly to the inner court!"

Although there was a vague intuition in his heart that the inner court of the Great Witch Court, already shrouded under the 【Bedtime Story】, was likely the enemy's "base," going directly to the inner court shouldn't be any different from deep-diving into the enemy's formation.

But because their method of death had been locked in Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's prophecy, Li Ang, who hadn't seen a gallows, decisively chose to go to the inner court to probe the bottom first, taking advantage of the safe period before the story "started" to meet the Great Witch King and that fake Princess Caitlin.

"Okay."

After hearing Li Ang's answer, the shaman named Luojian nodded, then turned his face, which was covered in strange oil paint, to look at the dejected freckled prince behind Li Ang, his eyes flickering slightly as he asked:

"What about Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya? Are you with Prince Li Ang?"

"Hmm..."

After responding, the freckled prince said listlessly:

"I'm going with my father."

"???"
