Performance Ends, Good Play Disperses

Chen Shu was certain that there was still someone in this venue, because it was this "person" who tore off his fig leaf of 【Silence】!

Time goes back a bit, back to when Chen Shu teased Yu Mu and left laughing.

Just as he grasped the door handle, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and a more wonderful idea arose in his heart.

He felt he didn't have to leave.

The one who should leave was the disgusting Zhen Yi, not the lovable Chen Shu.

So he didn't want to go anymore.

He still wanted to stay here and see, see what changes would occur in this so-called Mediocre gathering after losing his atmosphere controller, and how much intelligence would be spread.

And he vaguely felt that there might not be only these people in this venue.

He and Cheng Shi had the same idea, also feeling that there was a problem with this venue!

In fact, not only the two of them, when Hu Wei saw "Zhen Yi" counting down, he was in such a rush to leave, perhaps he didn't have the thought of not wanting to stay here to provoke new trouble.

So everyone should have thought of it together, but what they didn't expect was that "Zhen Yi" actually took action first!

Back to Chen Shu, just at the moment he opened the door and prepared to step out, he used the talent of 【Silence】 to "silence" the gazes in the venue, making himself disappear from everyone's sight.

Then he quietly closed the door and dived under the nearby rubble ruins, silently acting as an information collector.

Players of 【Silence】 are best at this, not to mention he is the person who has gone the furthest on the road of 【Silence】.

Thus, at this moment, Chen Shu forged the illusion of his departure, turned from light to dark, changed from the "cicada" that called the loudest and had already exited the stage of the Mediocre gathering, to the "oriole" that returned to the stage and said nothing!

And when he heard the conversation between Qin Xin and the Blind One, he discovered that the secret hidden under this Mediocre gathering was far greater than he imagined!

He "accidentally" learned that Qin Xin actually mastered an organization that protects beauty, "accidentally" learned that his brother-in-law was really his brother-in-law, "accidentally" learned that his brother-in-law seemed to be very awesome, and even better confirmed the news of the fall of 【Prosperity】.

Not only that, he also sensed that after Qin Xin and the Blind One left, there seemed to be some existence in the venue that hadn't left!

After all, he "understands" 【Silence】 the best, and at the moment, it seems it's not 【Silence】 enough!

So he didn't rush to leave, but waited patiently again, but didn't expect that this wait actually waited for an unexpected acquaintance.

Another oriole like him, under Chen Shu's happy observation, appeared quietly in the venue.

Old man!

The Chosen of 【Time】, Old man!

This "friend" who was once almost brought into the road of 【Silence】 by himself was muttering his "award speech" at this time, not knowing that he, who was hiding under the ruins, had long opened the recorder and recorded all these slightly middle-school speeches.

Chen Shu was happy. He had confidence that the next time he met the old man, he could make him go further on the road of 【Silence】, but just when he was happiest, an accident happened.

An inexplicable force suddenly tore off his 【Silence】 cover, making his aura abruptly exposed to the other party's perception.

You must know that the old man is a Chosen, and also an assassin who knows best how to perceive the surrounding environment, so he discovered that there was still someone in the venue for the first time and entered a combat state under stress.

But what he didn't expect was that this "oriole peer" who hid deeper than himself was actually Chen Shu!

That Chen Shu who always makes people silent!

At that moment, the old man's face looked constipated.

And when he heard Chen Shu say the sentence "pull me," he decisively chose to exit, because in front of Chen Shu, fighting had no meaning at all.

This is just like feeling frustrated after being deceived by Zhen Yi. Fighting Chen Shu will only make himself more frustrated.

After all, after being deceived, at least he can comfort himself that the liars' deception was too superb and he wasn't careful enough, but against Chen Shu?

Can't blame himself for not being as talkative as the other party?

What makes people uncomfortable was never Chen Shu's fist, but Chen Shu's tongue!

He is too glib, the cloth woven by words is airtight, almost able to suffocate people!

So this Chosen of 【Time】 decisively chose a tactical retreat.

And after he left, Chen Shu's face became rarely serious.

He knew that it was finally time to face the real behind-the-scenes of this Mediocre gathering.

But no matter how he "called" this real behind-the-scenes person in the venue, the entire venue was quiet, except for Chen Shu's own echo, there was no response.

Silence and noise echoed each other at this time.

Chen Shu shouted until his throat was hoarse, and still no one paid attention to him.

He felt that the other party probably didn't want to see him, so Chen Shu, who felt deeply bored, shook his head and sighed, and finally helplessly chose to leave.

This time it was for real.

Because even if the other party didn't respond, he guessed who this behind-the-scenes person might be through his own observation and the conversation he overheard earlier.

What he wanted was an answer, not a real response, so Chen Shu, who felt he knew the answer, exited the stage.

And not long after he left, there was another change in this Mediocre venue.

A violent change.

I saw the gold and silver fading, the jade dimming, and the seats decaying.

Everything magnificent in the original venue gradually began to distort after all the attendees truly disappeared.

It was like a high-saturation filter was pulled away from this space by an invisible hand. Not long after, the entire venue became desolate.

The brightness was no longer there, the beauty was hard to continue, and under the gold and jade, it always seemed to be filled with rotten cotton.

Looking at the venue again, apart from the blasted stage and passage, what remained were weathered and rotten seats, weed-grown stairs, and the mottled and faded stage dome.

And just at this time, a crimson curtain suddenly hung down from the rusty dome above the ruins of the stage.

As soon as the eye-catching blood-colored curtain fell, it turned into a rolling wave of cloth and spread in all directions. Before long, it wrapped the entire venue.

Then...

With a "whoosh," the entire venue disappeared into the void.

At the same time, on a certain stage in reality, a man in a tuxedo held a mottled glass ball in his hands, came to the edge of the stage, and carefully placed it on a shelf full of glass balls.

He wiped the dust off the glass ball with an exquisite silk scarf, recalled the wonderful performances one after another on the stage just now, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Look, the performances of the Mediocre are always so wonderful."

He straightened the glass ball, then stepped back to the center of the stage, bowed to the empty audience seats below, and whispered:

"Performance ends, good play disperses."

As soon as the words fell, the red curtain of the stage fell, covering him behind the curtain.

But at this time, a golden card fell from behind the curtain with a "click," just embellishing the center of the stage.

The spotlight dimmed quietly, but before the light disappeared completely, one could still see the details on the card through the weak light.

In the center of the card, the three small characters "Mediocre gathering" were written, and the number of the card happened to be... ===== CHAPTER 444 =====
