Chapter 658: Negotiation failed and the way to break the situation
"Are we just going to leave like this?"
After looking back at the tavern that was clattering, the Princess in a waitress outfit could not help but ask:
"That Mr. Elijah hasn't run yet. If he stays there, it's possible he will..."
"Rest assured, he will be fine."
After throwing the little husky onto his shoulder to let it lie down, Li Ang took the rag he had just gotten from the restaurant, and while wiping the sauce on the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's face, answered:
"He has someone covering him, so he is much safer than us. Not to mention that those three sailors are only using their fists to beat him, as long as Master Wang Erde is willing, even if he is run over by a cruise ship, he can still crawl up and be lively after turning over."
???
What is all this?
Without the anomaly resistance provided by 【Materialism】, the Princess at this time was still the tavern waitress "Agatha," so she naturally could not understand what Li Ang was talking about. However, upon remembering the "crazy words" that "Mr. Joseph" usually said, she did not continue to delve into it, but asked with a worried expression:
"Mr. Joseph, there is a police station around the corner of the street ahead. Can I trouble you to go and report it? I am worried about the tavern side..."
"The tavern side will definitely be fine!"
After wiping the sauce off the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's body, Li Ang tied it to his belt, then grabbed the Princess's shoulders with both hands, and said earnestly:
"Ver... Agatha, listen to me!"
Looking at the surprised Princess, Li Ang, who was preparing to try to take her and escape, explained sincerely:
"The things I am about to tell you next may sound unbelievable, but I can guarantee that every word I say is true. Actually, you are not a tavern waitress, but..."
Hmm?
After feeling a strange danger, Li Ang, whose hair stood on end, suddenly raised his head and found that a transparent silk thread, which was much thicker than before, was hanging down silently from the sky, heading straight for the back of his head!
It is 【King of Drama】 who has found him!
Finding that the situation was not good, Li Ang did not attack the transparent fine thread with the holy spirit pendant, but controlled the substantial spiritual power to condense into a large hand, suddenly pushing himself horizontally, narrowly avoiding the hanging fine thread.
But as a powerhouse with the "power of two sheep," 【King of Drama】's ability was naturally not that easy to dodge. That silk thread, which was thicker than an adult male's thigh, exploded instantly, turning into nearly a hundred invisible fine threads, instantly covering Li Ang, sticking every place on his body that could move firmly without missing a single one.
"Bastard! How dare you ruin my play!"
Accompanied by a shout full of indignation, as if pressed the pause button, the birds in the sky stopped flapping their wings, the fresh and fishy sea breeze stopped flowing, and the crashing sound of sea waves hitting the pier also stopped abruptly. The entire world fell into stillness.
Following that, "Master Wang Erde," wearing a straight double-breasted white suit and a top hat of the same color on his head, walked over limping with a cane, standing in front of Li Ang with a face full of anger.
This should be the incarnation of the will of 【King of Drama】, right?
Li Ang, who was stuck all over with silk threads and only his eyes could move, turned his eyeballs and stared at the angry 【Drama Master】.
According to his own speculation, the body of this "two-sheep level" anomaly should be the seaside small city in front of him... or rather, the drama world it fictionalized.
So when he first came in, he touched the intelligence related to 【King of Drama】, and wanting to escape from the drama world it created, besides relying on strength to break it, one could also find the incarnation of 【King of Drama】's will and find a way to severely damage its will, making this world born from the followed will collapse in advance.
And his original plan was to lure out the will of 【King of Drama】 and then try it with the holy spirit pendant's mental shock ability to see if he could severely damage it. After all, the consumption of creating such a large world must be no small amount. With the remaining power of 【King of Drama】, it might not be able to block the shock of the holy spirit pendant.
But now...
After feeling the strength of 【King of Drama】's will, Li Ang could not help but shake his head and tsk, rationally giving up the plan to "rush" it.
This guy's will strength is truly too high, solid as a cement wall. This, he truly cannot rush. It seems he can only think of other ways.
"You... why can you still move?!"
Looking at Li Ang, who was stuck with hundreds of silk threads but could still shake his head and sigh, "Master Wang Erde" was slightly startled. Just as he wanted to continue adding silk threads, he discovered that the man in front of him just shook his head and tail and twisted twice, and the manipulation lines he released with all his strength were all broken, and not a single one could be left.
"I can move because I can exempt your control... In addition, although the feeling is not very likely, I still want to try to discuss it with you."
After taking stock of his current means and finding that he truly had no way to deal with 【King of Drama】, Li Ang pointed at the Princess and proposed sincerely:
"If you can let me and her leave, and then guarantee that after this play ends, you will release all the people trapped, I can help you..."
"No!"
Before Li Ang's exchange conditions were finished, he was flatly rejected by 【King of Drama】. He saw it raise the cane in its hand and point at the Princess, saying with a face that would not allow refusal:
"You can leave after you finish acting, but she is the heroine of 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together' and must stay!"
"No... do you have to finish this play?"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing Li Ang's words, "Master Wang Erde" said stubbornly:
"Even a play that is rotten is better than a play that stops halfway! Once my drama starts, no matter what happens in the middle, it cannot stop!"
"But can this play of yours still be performed?"
Pointing in the direction of the tavern, Li Ang reminded this "one-track-minded master": "Although I haven't watched this play, if I'm not mistaken, the content of the scene just now should be wanting the male and female leads to encounter some trouble, so as to quickly bring the relationship closer, so that the invitation of 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together' can be established.
Now the person who saved Agatha is me. Although your male lead stood out and spoke, he actually just got beaten up. Your play has been stirred up. Is there still a need to continue?"
"There is a great need! As for how to perform it, it is not up to you, this unwelcome guest, to worry about!"
Glaring at Li Ang angrily, "Master Wang Erde" said with a cold face and drove him away:
"In addition, considering that you are also a member of the audience who bought a ticket to watch my play, I can not hold you accountable for stirring up the play this time. But from now on, you are not allowed to come and watch any of my plays again. Neither I nor my Morning Star Troupe welcomes you!"
"..."
So there is still nothing to talk about?
After hearing Master Wang Erde's words, looking at the strange door that suddenly appeared in front of him with the word "Exit" written on it, Li Ang could not help but sigh again.
Leaving the Princess behind is impossible. Although up to now, 【King of Drama】 has not had the intention to hurt people and has shown that it can communicate, making him have the idea of solving the problem through "peace talks," it is ultimately an anomaly. No matter how reliable it appears, it cannot be completely trusted.
In addition, this guy is already on the verge of losing control. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone berserk and trapped thousands of people in one breath because of two sentences of mockery from a drama critic. Who knows if it will do anything else extreme if the play is not performed well in the end.
What's more, he is a cleaner. He has the responsibility to carry out cleaning when encountering out-of-control anomalies and catch this "Master Wang Erde" to hand over to the General Bureau. Looking at it this way, there is indeed nothing to talk about between the two sides. It was he who thought too much...
"Since you are not willing to leave, then simply don't leave!"
After waiting patiently for a while and never seeing Li Ang walk toward the exit, "Master Wang Erde" could not help but snort coldly, closed the door leading to the outside world, then waved his hand toward Li Ang like driving away flies, and said with a face full of disgust:
"Although I don't know why you can exempt my control, I am the creator of this world, and there are many ways to deal with you... Go and lie on the seabed! Before 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together' ends, you are not allowed to appear in this city!"
Accompanied by Master Wang Erde's order, the world around Li Ang distorted rapidly, instantly crossing a distance of tens of kilometers. The clean and empty street a second ago turned into the deep sea without a sky the next second.
However, strangely, the world around Li Ang clearly had changed its appearance, but after he took a step on the seabed, he actually strangely returned to the original position, standing on the dark green street of the small city again, as if everything around him had never changed.
What's going on? I am the creator of this world, even changing the sun directly into the moon is something I can do! Why can't I move a supporting role like him?!
Thanks to 【Materialism】! If I can run out safely this time, you are the well-deserved MVP!
Naturally, he did not tell "Master Wang Erde" the reason why he exempted the movement. After looking at the shining crimson badge in the panel, the corner of Li Ang's mouth curled up slightly, and then he looked up at 【King of Drama】, evaluating meaningfully:
"Even not understanding the world you created, it seems that drama critic was right. You indeed don't understand drama very well."
?!!
Being a bit bewildered by this sudden provocation, after reacting to what Li Ang was saying, "Master Wang Erde" could not help but have anger on his face, stood with his eyebrows raised, and shouted angrily:
"You non..."
"Do you remember what I just did?"
After pointing at the tavern again, Li Ang explained (bullshitted) earnestly:
"In your original script, my character could already be retired after showing his own cowardice and setting off the male lead Elijah's courage, so naturally, I could be kicked away at will.
But now things have changed. After the person who saved Agatha just now became me, and if this play has an audience, then at least half of the people's gazes have shifted to me and the departing Agatha. If you throw me into the seabed at this time, can your play still be performed?"
"..."
Seems... it is truly possible that this is the reason? But... but clearly I am the author?
After hearing Li Ang's well-founded bullshit, although "Master Wang Erde" felt that something seemed not quite right, he could not think of other reasonable explanations, so he could only bite the bullet and argue:
"Without you... it is indeed a bit incomplete, but I am the creator of this world, and even the script of 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together' was written by me, so..."
"You are just a scriptwriter, what do you know about 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together'?"
Relying on this conversation, he roughly estimated the EQ and IQ of 【King of Drama】 and found that this guy was slightly lower than the average human level, so Li Ang could not help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then increased his strength to fool him:
"In short, after that scene in the tavern, I have successfully joined the plot of 'Twelve Days of Traveling Together' and cannot be easily deleted by you. Even if you are the creator of this world, you cannot significantly violate the rules of the drama world. Now you have no way to deal with me, and the only thing you can do is silently accept my existence!"
"Damn it! Don't even think about it!"
Whether it was because he believed Li Ang's nonsense or because he didn't want his painstaking play to suffer from irreparable plot bugs, "Master Wang Erde" hesitated slightly for a moment before actually gritting his teeth and accepting Li Ang's presence, not trying to kick him out of the plot.
"Just you wait, I will go back and change the plot of the next few scenes!"
As for the male and female leads left in place, they had already been stunned by this outrageous reversal and family background. They stood in place and were silent for a good while, then the male lead Elijah opened his mouth:
"Don't think that just because you got a little bit of screen time, you can replace me and become the controller of the drama world. You, a layman with half a bucket of water, absolutely cannot write a script more popular than mine!
After I change the new plot, as long as it is the second... at most the first scene of the third act, I will be able to completely drive you, this disaster, out of my world!"
"..."
Wait! Whether to drive out or not is another matter... What is this about replacing you and becoming the controller of the drama world?
After hearing the harsh words released by "Master Wang Erde," Li Ang was not only not angry, but his brow could not help but raise slightly, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.
Listening to what he meant... could it be that by completely messing up the original plot and changing it to be more popular with the audience than his original script, one could become the new controller of the drama world?
