Chapter 1126 Great Wall Real World

When Zhao Wuji opened his eyes again, the dazzling sunlight made him subconsciously raise his hands to block it. He heard noisy voices and the sound of metal colliding, and his nose was filled with the smell of dust and sweat.

"Lord William, you finally woke up!"

A strange Western face came up to him, his brown eyes full of worry. Zhao Wuji blinked, and then he found himself lying in a shaking carriage, wearing rough leather armor and a dagger on his waist.

"Totoval?" Zhao Wuji called out the name tentatively, his voice as dry as the wind in the desert.

"Thank God, you still remember me." The other party breathed a sigh of relief and handed over a leather water bag. "We are almost at the Great Wall. Those Song soldiers said they would take us back for interrogation."

Zhao Wuji took the water bag and took a few big gulps. The cold liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the shock in his heart.

“Ding! The director system has been activated.”

A mechanized voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Zhao Wuji almost choked on the water: "Director system? First time encountering it"

"Welcome to the world of The Great Wall. You will be William Garin. You are not allowed to modify any plot of the original script. You can return to the original world after completing the mission."

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened, his heart pounding. He traveled through time and space and became the foreign character played by Matt Damon? This was ridiculous!
“Wait, what if I changed the plot?” he asked in his mind.

"The system will force you to make corrections and extend your stay, and may even keep you in this world." The mechanical voice replied coldly. "Of course you will die, and you will become a vegetable in reality."

The carriage suddenly stopped and a stern shout came from outside. Tovar glanced at him nervously: "They are here to take us down."

Zhao Wuji took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. As a Chinese, he was familiar with The Great Wall and remembered most of the plot. According to the plot, they would be taken to the Great Wall and then encounter the first wave of Taotie attacks.
"Come out!" A rude shout interrupted their thoughts. The curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and in the dazzling sunlight, several armored soldiers pointed their spears at them.

Zhao Wuji subconsciously raised his hands and said according to the plot in his memory: "We are just businessmen, lost businessmen."

"Shut up, barbarians!" the leading soldier shouted, "Take them to see General Lin!"

As he was roughly pulled off the carriage, Zhao Wuji noticed that the towering Great Wall in the distance was glowing blue-gray in the sun, more spectacular than he remembered. The flags on the wall fluttered in the wind, and soldiers in armor of different colors patrolled between the battlements.

"This is the Shadowless Guard?"

The soldiers escorted them through many checkpoints and onto the Great Wall. Zhao Wuji tried to recall the details in the script, trying to predict what would happen next. According to the plot, they would be taken to the command room for interrogation, and then
"Kneel down!"

A loud shout interrupted his thoughts. Zhao Wuji looked up and saw a female general in blue armor standing in front of him. On her cold face, a pair of sharp eyes were examining them.

General Lin Mei.

Zhao Wuji felt a palpitation.

The murderous aura of the real General Lin before us is incomparable to any other performance.

"Is this a real script world? Are they indigenous people or bionic people?" "Who are you? Why are you appearing near the Great Wall?" Lin Mei's voice was like a knife.

Zhao Wuji swallowed and was about to answer according to the script when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind - if he warned them in advance that the Taotie was coming, could it improve safety?
“Look, I know this sounds crazy,” he lowered his voice, deciding to take a gamble, “but tonight there will be monsters attacking the Great Wall. They are called Taotie, and every sixty years—”

"How dare you!" Lin Mei interrupted with a stern look in her eyes, "Who told you this?"

"Warning! The host attempted to modify the plot!" The system's voice exploded in his mind.

Zhao Wuji suddenly felt a sharp pain spreading from his head to his whole body, as if someone had stuffed a few pieces of ice into his skull. He screamed and fell to his knees, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

"William!" cried Torvald.

The pain came and went quickly, but it was enough for Zhao Wuji to understand that the system warning was no joke. He raised his head, panting, and found that Lin Mei and the surrounding soldiers were looking at him with vigilant and confused eyes.

"I've heard of the legend." He forced a smile and quickly returned to the script, "We are just merchants, coming from the Western Regions, and we got lost."

Lin Mei narrowed her eyes, obviously not believing this. She was about to continue asking questions when suddenly a rapid drumbeat sounded from the city wall.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Everyone's face changed instantly. Lin Mei turned and strode towards the edge of the city wall. Zhao Wuji and Tovar were also dragged over by the soldiers.

In the distance, yellow sand filled the sky. At first, nothing could be seen clearly, but soon, a dark shadow surged towards the Great Wall like a tide.

"Taotie." Zhao Wuji muttered to himself, not because of spoilers this time, but because of pure shock. The script and special effects could not compare to this kind of horror - thousands of monsters shaped like beasts were rushing over, their scales glowing with a strange luster in the sunset, and their roars were continuous, shaking people's eardrums.

"All troops on alert!" Lin Mei ordered loudly, "Crane troops, get ready! Eagle troops, get ready with crossbows!"

Zhao Wuji watched the soldiers quickly take their positions, their movements in unison like a precision machine. The female soldiers of the Crane Army in blue armor stood on the edge of the city wall with spears in hand; the Eagle Army soldiers in red armor pulled the huge crossbow; and the soldiers in other armors of various colors also took their positions.

"Lock up these two barbarians!" Lin Mei ordered the soldiers escorting them, then quickly walked towards the command platform.

As Zhao Wuji was dragged away, he took a last look at the surging Taotie army. According to the script, the first wave of attacks would be repelled, but the next wave seemed quite dangerous.

"System, what role can I play?" he asked in his heart.

"The host is free to choose how to 'perform', but key plot points must be achieved." The system replied, "Remember, this is the real world. You can be the 'actor', but others are not."

Zhao Wuji was pushed into a stone room, and the iron door slammed shut behind him. Tovar slumped on the ground, his face pale: "Oh my God, what kind of monsters are those?"

"Our nightmare has just begun." Zhao Wuji replied with a wry smile, and he had already begun to think about how to complete this absurd "shooting" as quickly as possible without violating the system rules. Outside the city wall, the sound of the battle horn resounded through the sky...
