"Oh?" Yun Ming came and said with great interest, "This program is broadcast live, right? In this case, is there any way you can deceive the world?"
James responded with a smug laugh: "Of course."
Anyway, the only hostage on hand has been released. Yun Ming, who had his hands free, simply sat on the ground and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"It's true that "The Chris Show" is a live show, but in fact, there is a time difference of about one or two minutes between filming and broadcasting."
"This time is enough for me to arrange for a stand-in and start the performance from before you went crazy. Some commercials can be inserted in the middle to interrupt the smooth recording. After the commercials, I will come back and sit in the restaurant and chat about the scenes I carefully selected. A substitute."
Yun Ming propped up his chin: "Let me guess, it's an advertisement for men's suits?"
"How do you..." James was interrupted by Yun Ming before he could finish his question: "It's still a matter of craftsmanship. According to the productivity level of your fictional world, this kind of clothes cannot be made."
"Hmm...Chris, I really don't like your current smart personality." James said in an instant, "What's worse is that you can't be replaced."
"Yes, that's right. As you said, I am the protagonist. It is impossible for the protagonist of twenty-five years to be replaced immediately. You can use a substitute for a while, but not for a lifetime. When I realize this, I Just understand: You can’t let me leave this studio.”
"Hahaha" This was the second time James laughed in the conversation with Yun Ming: "Since you understand, I will tell you straight."
A metal ball appeared out of thin air above Yun Ming. It was the size of a bowling ball, floating steadily in mid-air, silently. This is the true appearance of the ephemera projector. There is one on each side of Yun Ming's left and right sides. The finished glyphs of the three ephemera projectors surround Yun Ming. James asked the operators to remove their optical cloaking.
"Hey, this invisibility method reminds me of a former boss (Xia Yan)." Yun Ming clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Chris," James' voice came from an ephemera projector. It turned out that this thing also had a loudspeaker function. All of James' previous dialogues were completed using it: "I can't allow this show to be ruined. , don’t bother escaping. This underground city No. 65 is a paradise I created for you. You will not be harmed here, and you can escape all the filth and ugliness in the outside world. It’s better for you to return now. Go to sleep, I only need one protagonist, and that is the innocent and simple character of Christopher."
He responded with a disdainful sneer:
"Oh, you are such a bad old man. You even built a paradise for me. You are obviously addicted to the so-called god."
Yun Ming scratched his head and continued: "This kind of mentality of controlling everything and playing with people as puppets is different from a child playing tricks on ants? But the most ridiculous thing is that you look at the unknown truth from a high-dimensional perspective to a low-dimensional perspective. "Christopher, I don't know that I see you the same way: the director of "The Chris Show," the guy who calls himself a god, the well-known James. He's not deaf yet, he's just a string of data codes in a game."
James failed to understand the meaning of Yun Ming's last sentence because the system blocked all sensitive words. Yun Ming's words fell into the ears of the NPC as an abridged version, but this did not prevent Yun Ming from conveying a sarcastic meaning.
"It's just a tough talk. Do you still think you can't escape? If you let Laura go, doesn't it prove that you have given up?" Under James's order, several crew members walked towards Yun Ming, preparing to control him.
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I just learned about the true level of technology in this world and realized that even if I tie up Laura, I can't stop you from throwing a trap; the possibility of breaking out with brute force is extremely slim."
"These ephemera projectors have been following me since the restaurant, right? It's very convenient to control them to knock me out physically. The reason you didn't order this was because you were worried about Laura's injury or Christopher's. Whether your head can survive that blow, I think it’s the latter.”
When Yun Ming said these words, he still sat on the ground without moving, watching helplessly as several people approached.
"Okay, Mr. James, I will confirm two things with you one last time." Before James agreed, Yun Ming said to himself:
"First of all, as the protagonist, I can't be replaced, right?"
"Yes." James blurted out. This was the consensus reached in the previous conversation. "What is he doing? Why ask again." Although he was puzzled, seeing several crew members already very close to "Christopher", James couldn't think of anything to worry about.
The overall situation is decided, this is his idea. James looked away from the screen, and then he had to think about how to keep the insiders on the set tight-lipped.
unexpectedly……
"Second," Yun Ming's ominous laughter came through the screen: "Underground City No. 65 certainly does not have the conditions to rescue victims of carotid artery rupture, right?"
"What?" James turned around when he heard the sound, and saw "Christopher" holding the table knife backwards and stabbing into his neck, causing blood to splash everywhere.
…
[Task completed]
[This script has ended]
[The player is waiting to leave the script]
[The mission reward has been sent and can be viewed and claimed in the login space after the game is over]
Just as Yun Ming expected, "Christopher"'s suicide made the entire crew panic. They hurriedly tried to stop Yun Ming's bleeding and provide first aid, but their crude rescue methods could not save Christopher's life. James was still deaf and had no choice but to ask the crew to carry him out of the studio and take him to the hospital.
Yun Ming passed through the tunnel in a bumpy way and came to the real world. At the same time, the system's customs clearance prompt rang in his ears. With the mission completed, Yun Ming lost control of Christopher's body and watched a post-credits CG in a way similar to the "spirit behind":
[In deep memory of our old friend: Christopher]
[No one would have thought that the most dazzling film and television star of this century would fall into the mortal world in this way. He was so badly injured that even the best doctors could not save him. 】
[Perhaps the only good thing is that Christopher fell on the road to freedom. He explains to us what it means to give us freedom or give us death. 】
[Chris taught us all a lesson with his life: Life belongs to you. Although real life is also full of unknowns, falsehoods, and fears, a real warrior will not bow his head. Get out of your self-deceiving comfort zone and be your true self. 】
[Director James Not Deaf has yet to respond to the outside world on this matter, but the suspension of "The Chris Show" is a foregone conclusion, and it is impossible to resume broadcasting. 】
[There is no final decision yet on what to do with Underground City 65, the world’s largest outdoor studio. Some people proposed that Christopher be buried here and a monument and statue be erected, but there was a lot of opposition. Opponents said it would be cruel to allow Christopher to return to the place where he had been imprisoned his entire life. 】
[Perhaps the deceased Christopher didn’t care about what happened after him. We sincerely hope that he can enjoy the joy of freedom in heaven. 】
[Goodbye, Chris; Goodbye, our protagonist. 】
"Well... the ending of the last part is quite thought-provoking."
After completing the script, Yun Ming was sent back to the login space. The first thing he had to do was to see what good things the script system could give him this time.
"By the way, the tasks in this script have been turned into hell by me. If I followed the basic process normally, I would never end up committing suicide with a knife."
"So, the reward for completing the level this time will definitely not be bad." Yun Ming raised the flag unscrupulously while taking the key to open the treasure chest.
"Huh? Real or fake?" There were two cards in the treasure box. Yun Ming took them and took a look...
[Name: Overlay]
[Description: Skill Card (Passive)]
[Special Effect: Double the damage effect of your hero]
[Remarks: Only for melee heroes, can be equipped in both PVP mode and adventure mode]
…
[Name: Fleeting Miaohua]
[Description: Skin card]
[Special effects: none]
[Remarks: Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face, spring breeze blows Revlon]
"Haha..." Yun Ming laughed dryly: "This reward is indeed quite good."
"Even I don't have any use for it."
"You're cheating!"
The former is a very powerful skill card that can be equipped in both PVP mode and adventure mode. Although there are restrictions on its use, the conditions are not harsh. However, Yun Ming is good at mages and shooters, and he dislikes melee combat the most.
The latter is of higher value and is a player skin, much better than the anniversary free version Yun Ming wears. But obviously, this is an ancient skin suitable for female players, and Yun Ming cannot wear it.
"The skill cards are not bad, so keep them first; as for the skins, sell them." In previous games, Yun Ming also bought some rewards that he had no use for, and most of them were traded away in the mall. This time is no exception: "Although these cards can be given away, I don't have anyone I want to give them to..."
Yun Ming was talking and operating. When he was about to put [Fleeting Miaohua] into the mall to sell and click OK, he suddenly stopped unexpectedly...
Then, I silently clicked Cancel...
"It's better to save it now. When [The weather is very good today] comes online, I'll ask her if she can accept it." Yun Ming remembered the last time he formed a team, Bai Fei's skin was Hanfu: "That girl can spend a Buying more than a thousand game skins must be very rich."
"It's more profitable to sell it to her." A cunning smile appeared on Yun Ming's face, making people wonder whether he was a positive character after all.
