Chapter 454: Actors in Position, Script Begins
Actors in Position, Script Begins
"Alright, alright, the story is finished, so the new story should begin.
Hu Wei must have guessed that you killed his friend, but after today, after you save his life, perhaps your relationship will ease.
Although this Grand Marshal is not a good person, to some extent...
he is indeed more trustworthy than some people who don't speak a word of truth.
However, I must remind you that this trust is limited to when you have no conflict of interest with him.
Never trust anyone."
"Including you?"
"..." Cheng Shi was stunned, laughing and crying. He really wanted to say, "I don't lie, how can you not trust me?" but after thinking about it, he said seriously, "Including me."
Hu Xuan looked at Cheng Shi with an inexplicable expression for a moment, and the 【Nativity】 aura on her body quietly thickened again.
She nodded gently, as if she hadn't heard Cheng Shi's words, and only responded to the instructions regarding Hu Wei:
"No matter, whatever he thinks has nothing to do with me. This is not arrogance due to my status, but because the Patron behind us is different; I don't need to fear his Patron stepping in.
Because 【War】... He is very unique. Yes, unique, completely different from what I previously thought."
Cheng Shi carefully savored this sentence, seemed to think of something, and nodded with some agreement.
Afterward, the two looked at each other and fell into silence. Cheng Shi felt the time was right, so he gave two awkward dry laughs and hurriedly snapped his fingers with his hand behind his back.
This crisp snap was like a clapperboard, making the "entire crew" move.
The moment the sound fell, the phantom of the entire Dolgode Church vanished into smoke, the entire field fell completely into the pitch-black, boundless void, and the dead infants overhead descended slowly, then gradually pulled apart, leaving enough space between the different 【Nativity】 cages.
To mask his aura, Cheng Shi had long since switched back to the 【Fate】 faith. At this moment, he took the blood plasma from his personal space, sprinkled it on himself, flicked some onto Hu Xuan casually, and then took out a slightly wide soft whip and began to lash himself.
He was forging whip marks, disguising the tragedy after a great battle, but Hu Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this scene.
"If you have some strange hobbies..."
"I don't, thank you!" Cheng Shi said sonorously. After finishing whipping himself, he looked up at Hu Xuan and said, "Do... you need one?"
Hu Xuan's smile was playful; that expression clearly said, "And you say you don't?"
Cheng Shi twitched his mouth and put away the soft whip directly. Seeing that he had finished his preparations, Hu Xuan narrowed her eyes. Without doing anything, the 【Nativity】 aura on her body suddenly plummeted. That incredibly realistic feeling was like her spirit being drained by some terrifying invisible force.
But on the contrary, just as Hu Xuan lost her spirit, that giant sun in the void became even more solid.
Cheng Shi was startled. Seeing his shocked face, Hu Xuan explained with a pale complexion:
"I returned the power to the Eternal Sun. This is an ability derived after obtaining His recognition. When the Eternal Sun solidifies, my flesh and blood power will be depleted.
Don't worry, the power has never disappeared, it just changed containers.
Let's go, my protagonist Cheng, now is the time for you to take the stage."
As Hu Xuan spoke, she dispersed the giant sun phantom behind her. Except for Cheng Shi and a few insiders, no one currently knew that she could truly transform into the Eternal Sun, so even to keep an ace up her sleeve, she would not expose the giant sun to others.
Cheng Shi knew this well, so when he wrote the script, the giant sun never appeared in it.
As for the phenomenon of the giant sun's radiance surging when Hu Xuan descended, he had long since found a reasonable explanation for it.
Everything was ready, and the good show was about to begin.
After looking at Hu Xuan, at the moment the restless shadow tentacles beneath the void were about to erupt, Cheng Shi suddenly gathered his strength and ran toward the dead infant closest to him.
He rushed up fiercely, tore open the skin of the dead infant in front of him, and pulled out the player imprisoned inside.
Of course, the actual operation wasn't him, because even if Golis herself relaxed her power, the Messenger's imprisonment was not something a mortal could tear open relying on flesh and blood strength, so it was Golis who released the player inside; Cheng Shi was just putting on a show.
But the key to this play was putting on a show!
To win the favor of the crowd, Cheng Shi had to be the one who saved people!
And seeing that the player pulled out happened to be his good Big Brother Hu Wei, Cheng Shi felt certain in his heart.
Steady! This round is steady!
He specifically instructed Afros not to tell him who was imprisoned in these dead infants, only to have Him drag the dead infant imprisoning the female player as far away from him as possible. In this way, Cheng Shi would not save Zhen Xin, and could perfectly perform the surprise after saving someone.
Because he didn't know who was inside to begin with!
And when he saw that the first person he saved was Hu Wei, the surprise in his eyes was even more real than the real thing!
But Hu Wei, upon seeing the two, not only had no surprise, but only had shock!
During the secret talk at the long table for three, Hu Wei's consciousness suddenly fell into chaos, and it wasn't until he was just dragged out of the cage by Cheng Shi that his consciousness awakened from the confusion.
But the moment he woke up, his heart didn't relax; instead, he held his breath and slashed a fierce arc of blood and fire toward the strange figure that appeared beside him without hesitation!
Feeling the fanaticism of 【War】, Cheng Shi was shocked: "Brother Hu, it's one of our own, don't move!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Hu Wei not only didn't stop, but his greatsword fell even faster.
Hu Xuan's gaze sharpened, enduring the risk of being killed on the spot without dodging, because in the script, she was already exhausted from resisting Golis's encirclement. As an "excellent" actor, she knew she couldn't dodge at this time, nor could she dodge.
More importantly, she trusted Cheng Shi; she knew Cheng Shi would definitely not let her die.
Indeed, Cheng Shi couldn't let his good Big Brother kill his thigh, but the problem was, the way he saved Hu Xuan...
was a bit too unexpected for Hu Xuan.
Because at this critical moment, Cheng Shi stepped forward, hugged Hu Wei's waist, and pushed the sturdy warrior backward with his shoulder:
"Hu Wei! Stop! If you don't stop, we'll all die here!"
Hu Wei frowned, feeling Cheng Shi's pitifully little strength. The sword edge shifted slightly as it fell, slashing down with a "Boom" right past Hu Xuan's left arm.
The roaring flames instantly lit up the void. Seeing Hu Xuan covered in blood with her left arm charred, the Grand Marshal's brow furrowed even deeper.
Not an illusion! ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
