Chapter 12

The little boy who was sick and sleeping soundly is also awakened from his dream.

With sleepy eyes, he props up half of his body...

And Su Chen, who just finished firing and is laughing manically, slowly turns back, seemingly noticing his existence.

Brothers! The data is not moving at all.... I ask brothers to give me some support!!

Two thousand flowers for one extra chapter! One hundred evaluation tickets for one extra chapter! Five monthly tickets for one extra chapter! Three tips for one extra chapter! As long as everyone supports me! The author will work until he coughs up blood to add more!!

To the side.

Bai Ling looks at the awakened boy.

Listening to Su Chen’s manic laughter.

Her body shakes even more, as if she thought of something in an instant!

Almost at the same time Su Chen turns around!

Bai Ling does not hesitate at all!

She rushes straight toward Su Chen and hugs him tightly!

At the same time, she turns her head and shouts loudly at the little boy with a crying voice.

"Dayuan! Run!!"

This moment!

Bai Ling clearly didn't consider her own life at all.

But is trying her best to protect the little boy!

At least she absolutely cannot let such a tragedy happen in front of her again!

For a moment, the shop is in chaos!

Tables and chairs are scattered!

Mixed with Su Chen’s harsh and manic laughter.

Bai Ling is crying hysterically on one side, and shouting loudly on the other.

"Dayuan!! Run!!!"

But the little boy just woke up and couldn't react at all for a while, just staring blankly at the two people entangled.

But this hall that fell into chaos in an instant.

The noisy sound.

Makes countless viewers in the live stream suddenly come to their senses!

Those two gunshots just now.

Have completely shattered the unrealistic fantasies of Bai Ling and countless viewers!

And Su Chen’s manic laughter after exposing his true nature after killing.

Makes all the viewers wake up!

There is no bet!

And there is no win or loss!

All of this is just a game that Cao Shao enjoys!

From the beginning!

This devil never intended to let any of them go!

What he likes... from beginning to end is just killing!

[This.. this devil!]

[Hateful.... too hateful!!]

[How can you do this!! Li Tieniu was clearly so enthusiastic to him...]

[Even if Li Tieniu hadn't cursed him, I’m afraid this murderous devil wouldn't have let them go...]

[Bai Ling, run... how can you stop him alone!!]

[She probably doesn't have a choice now... at least saving her student’s life is her last choice!]

[Bastard!! Really a bastard among bastards!!]

[Although I am a fan of Su Chen... but now I want to hit him as soon as I see him smile...]

[What’s wrong with this kid!! Run!! This is the escape time that people fought for with their lives!]

[He is just a child... if it were you, you would probably have been scared to pee long ago..]

"If Bai Ling had stopped Li Tieniu from cursing earlier, this wouldn't have happened!"

Under Su Chen’s performance, even Guo Xiaosi is a bit indignant, unconsciously substituting himself into it.

He hammers the table with some regret.

But to the side.

Zhang Laomou shakes his head and sighs lightly.

"Regardless of whether Li Tieniu said those things, the result is the same."

"From the beginning when Cao Shao was wandering on the street and met Li Tieniu, the ending was already doomed."

"The data card clearly states that Cao Shao’s purpose for entering the city was to seek pleasure."

"And killing is the greatest pleasure for Cao Shao!"

"So when Li Tieniu issued the invitation, he was inevitably drawn into Cao Shao’s killing game."

"The subsequent hiding of identity and the betting game are just additions designed by Su Chen to make this game more interesting."

"I have to admit..."

"Under such hasty preparation time, the analysis and design of the character Cao Shao shown by Su Chen, and the control of the plot, even I can only look up to it...."

In front of the camera.

Even in front of tens of millions of viewers.

Zhang Laomou has no scruples, not sparing his praise for Su Chen.

Following Zhang Laomou’s analysis.

Countless viewers in the live stream are even more gritting their teeth at Cao Shao, played by Su Chen.

Just by meeting.

He wants to kill the other party..

This is no longer in the category of a villain... this is a devil walking in the human world!

Treating other people’s lives as insignificantly as grass!

Taking pleasure in killing!

They find it hard to imagine... that there would be such an evil person!

And now..

Countless viewers are also frowning and watching the live stream screen.

Praying in their hearts for the first act to end quickly... don't let any more tragedies happen!

But....

Contrary to expectations.

In the screen, in the chaos.

Su Chen is still laughing wantonly, accompanied by Bai Ling’s shouting.

And even though Bai Ling is trying her best to stop him.

Su Chen’s right hand holding the gun is still slowly raising.

Like a devil’s whisper.

Su Chen leans close to the ear of Bai Ling, who is on the verge of collapse and hysterical.

Smiling incredibly happily, he says.

"Look here~"

While speaking.

What countless viewers see is the slowly raised pitch-black muzzle!

Bang!!

Another gunshot rang out.

Followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Every viewer’s heart trembled.

At this moment.

Even without the visuals.

They could imagine what had happened...

Cao Shaolin actually even... to a child.

As if hearing the viewers’ curses.

On screen.

Su Chen’s face immediately put on a show of pity and heartache, so fake it made one nauseous.

Looking at Dayuan lying on the ground a few meters away.

"Ah!!!"

A hysterical scream.

Bai Ling completely collapsed, tears gushing out instantly.

She no longer cared about fear or terror.

"I'll strangle you!"

Amidst Su Chen’s wild laughter.

A gun barrel was suddenly shoved into Bai Ling’s mouth, golden and gleaming, looking quite beautiful.

Bang!!

Accompanied by another gunshot!

Blood splattered through Bai Ling’s long hair! Her body slumped powerlessly to the ground!

[Act 1 AI Score: 97 points]

[Contestant No. 3’s performance has ended!]

Along with the image on screen.

And the AI’s score for the first act.

Su Chen’s performance segment was declared over.

But in the live stream.

There was still only silence.

The comments were visibly sparse.

Aside from those shocked by Su Chen’s score.

Countless other viewers stared at the black screen, lost in silence.

Before Su Chen’s performance...

No one expected such a result.

Yet, when Zhu Sanlong played the warlord... he was also a bully who oppressed men and women.

He also fired two shots at Li Tieniu without mercy.

It could be said he also cut off the other party’s hope of survival.

But why...

Did none of the viewers feel as uncomfortable as they did now...

To the point of falling into a long silence...

[Damn it... this is too stifling... I’ve never felt this stifled before..]

[Why didn’t I feel this uncomfortable when Zhu Sanlong was performing?]

[Exactly! Watching this now makes me so uncomfortable.. I’m hateful and angry, and I feel so bad for Bai Ling’s family!]

[I think... I know the reason....]

[It’s the immersion! When Zhu Sanlong was acting, everyone knew it was just a performance.]

[But Su Chen’s Cao Shaolin... everyone has already been drawn into the story, which is why they feel angry at Su Chen’s indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent!]

[But I have to say... Su Chen’s acting is truly incredible!!]

[Wait... what the hell?? 97 points!!!]

[This!! This must be the highest score the AI has ever given, right???]

[Could it be... that the Cao Shaolin in the AI’s settings is basically exactly what Su Chen portrayed??]

[I think it’s because Su Chen’s performance was just too outstanding; not only was it memorable, he brought Cao Shaolin to life!]

And when countless viewers saw the bright 97 on the screen.

They suddenly realized!

This was an unprecedented high score in two seasons!!

Nearly a perfect score!

Even if they still felt a subconscious fear of Su Chen’s face, the kind that wouldn't go away for a while.

But they had to admit.

Su Chen’s performance... could no longer be described simply as outstanding!

Within seconds of seeing the character profile card.

Su Chen not only decided on the general direction of the performance!

He also quickly dissected the core and personality of the character Cao Shaolin!

Whether it was the analysis of the character or the control of the subsequent plot.

Su Chen’s work was flawless!

But what made all the viewers marvel even more... was Su Chen’s acting!

The Cao Shaolin he interpreted... some might even believe it was real...

To the point where it could stop a child from crying at night!

"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap..."

In the silence.

At the judges’ table.

Chen Daomin was the first to break the silence, taking the lead in applauding.

As an actor himself, he truly appreciated Su Chen’s acting and talent.

Subsequently.

The entire venue erupted in applause.

Even though many viewers still subconsciously frowned at the thought of Su Chen.

But... they had to admit, this was absolutely a perfect performance!

It’s just that... the film world of *The Deadly Citadel*.

Still had two more acts to go....

Which meant.

Su Chen was going to torture them two more times?!

Please... don’t let Su Chen play a psychopath in the next round... it’s just too realistic!!

Wuwu, a new month!!! Please, dear readers, reward me with some monthly votes!!!.
