Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

"No, no, that's not right."

"Since it has already happened, there's no way to change it."

"I can't continue in this old relationship."

"Lin Ze! You need to look forward!"

As he spoke, Lin Ze lightly slapped himself a few times on the face to try and sober himself up.

Then he rubbed his eyes.

However, when Lin Ze looked ahead again, he found that Zhao Kongcheng was still in the same place.

As usual, he leaned lazily on the sofa, drinking soda and watching TV.

This doesn't seem like something Zhao Kongcheng would do at all.

Lin Ze had mentioned him before, but Lao Zhao's response to him was...

"I've fought wars my whole life, can't I enjoy myself a little?"

This time, Lin Ze was certain; it didn't seem to be an illusion!

Just then, Zhao Kongcheng, who was lying on the sofa, also noticed Lin Ze beside him.

He put down the snacks he was holding and slowly walked up to Lin Ze.

He patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Good lad!"

"I knew you could do it!"

"That strike of yours was really cool, it had my style!"

That familiar feeling, that familiar tone.

Lin Ze was instantly stunned.

Could it be that Zhao Kongcheng really didn't die?!

Lin Ze exclaimed in shock, "Old Zhao!"

"Aren't you already dead?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng's face instantly darkened.

He draped an arm over Lin Ze's shoulder and said in a somber tone,

"Kid, speaking of which, I was just looking for you."

"You kept refusing to use [Eternal Life and Flashing Moon] because you didn't want me to be resurrected?"

"Yes or no?!"

Zhao Kongcheng raised his voice a few decibels as he spoke.

"resurrection?"

"What the hell are all these?"

"Old Zhao, you've come back to life?"

Lin Ze looked at Zhao Kongcheng with a completely bewildered expression.

The only thing he could confirm now was that Zhao Kongcheng was not dead.

Because he had just sensed Zhao Kongcheng's presence through the stage.

But what exactly is this resurrection that Zhao Kongcheng mentioned?

How can it be resurrected?

"Old Zhao, stop beating around the bush and tell me what happened!"

Seeing Lin Ze's seriousness, Zhao Kongcheng laughed and decided to tell Lin Ze the whole story.

"I was just kidding you."

"I didn't know I could be resurrected."

"After [Eliminating Life and Flashing Moon] reached 90%, I was pulled into a room."

"I thought I was going to die, but suddenly, I saw a door in this room. I tried it on a whim, and to my surprise, it actually opened!"

"And then I went back on stage."

"But this time the feeling is different from before. I can clearly feel that I am a person with flesh and blood!"

"Like you, I also have my own forbidden realm, and mine is still [Empty Life Flash Moon]."

"I think this is what they mean by 'those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.'"

Zhao Kongcheng enthusiastically told Lin Ze a whole bunch of things.

Lin Ze obtained a piece of information from it.

Zhao Kongcheng has truly been resurrected!

And it's not like before when the stage took them in.

In addition, Lin Ze also learned some news about the stage.

Once the performance reaches 90% completion, the audience won't disappear!

and many more.

Where did the Masked King go?!

Lin Ze suddenly thought of this problem.

So he told Lao Zhao about his doubts.

"Oh, I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

"I was thinking of giving you a surprise."

"Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ghost Face King appeared in front of Lin Ze.

"Hiss hiss hiss! (Big brother!)"

"Hiss hiss hiss! (I miss you so much!)"

Seeing the Ghost-Faced King charging towards him, Lin Ze used [Balance Gravity] to stop him.

"Holy crap?!"

"You're not dead either?!"

"Hiss hiss hiss~ (I almost died, I thought I'd never see my brother again~)"

"Never mind, I won't ask you anymore."

"Can't understand."

Turning to Zhao Kongcheng, Lin Ze asked, "Old Zhao, what's going on?"

"How did you end up running into the Ghost-Faced King?"

You mean him?

"Didn't I say that I was taken to a room, and then I happened to see him in that room, so I brought him out?"

"???"

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

Zhao Kongcheng looked at Lin Ze with an honest expression and said.

Then, Lin Ze glared fiercely at Ghost Face King.

If he can come out, why doesn't he come out?

Does that mean he doesn't want to serve me anymore?

Or is he deliberately avoiding me?

Never mind, let's beat them up first!

"Come here."

"Hiss! (Okay, big brother!)"

Lin Ze didn't notice Ghost Face King's delighted expression, and then beat him up without saying a word.

The Masked King was dumbfounded.

Zhao Kongcheng was also dumbfounded.

Why did you hit him?

I don't understand, but my brother must have his reasons for doing this!

The Ghost-Faced King stood there obediently.

After a moment, Lin Ze finally spoke, asking, "Tell me, why are you avoiding me?"

"Hiss hiss hiss! (I'm innocent, brother! It's not that I can't see it, it's that I can't see it!)"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Oh right, I forgot to add a language system for you."

Then, with a thought from Lin Ze, the Ghost-Faced King gained the ability to speak human language.

After venting his frustrations, Lin Ze finally understood Ghost Face King.

Just now... I think I was being abrupt.

It's not that the Ghost-Faced King doesn't want to come out, but that he can't.

Just as Zhao Kongcheng said, once 90% of the audience had been reached, they were taken to a room.

Open the door to the room, and you can return to the stage.

Everything is normal up to this point.

The key point is... that door is a password door.

At this point, some people might ask, how did Zhao Kongcheng know the password?

That's easy.

Because the password was written on the door.

Everything is still normal up here.

So what's so abnormal about it?

This is a voice password door.

You need to say "Open Sesame" to open the door.

After the Ghost Face King was taken away, his language system was removed.

Therefore, he can only talk nonsense....

Hmm... thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite pitiful.

"Um... do you know why I hit you just now?"

Lin Ze said somewhat awkwardly.

"I don't know, but there must be a reason why our eldest brother did this!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Let me tell you why, because our first meeting was a case of 'no fight, no friendship'."

"Now that you have risen from the dead, let us meet again in this way."

"What do you call this? This is called having a beginning and an end, echoing each other, highlighting the author's..."

Lin Ze's muscle memory wanted to tell the rest of the story.

Fortunately, they managed to stop it in the end.

Upon hearing this, the Ghost-Faced King said with a moved expression,

"Big brother!"

"I knew you had your reasons for doing this!"

"I've missed you so much! It's been so long!"

As he spoke, Ghost-Faced King excitedly hugged Lin Ze.

Lin Ze did not refuse this time either.

Consider it compensation for what happened before.

Having witnessed all of this, Zhao Kongcheng couldn't help but give Lin Ze a thumbs up.

"Wow! You managed to cover that up, kid."

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the other side of the stage.

Lin Ze and the others were also drawn to it.

"Hey! Don't hit my face!"

"You're a snake, aren't you? Let me tell you, I'm your ancestor!"

"Ancestors? My ass! There's only one ancestor here, and that's my elder brother. Who do you think you are!"

As he spoke, the snake demon Nandaka attacked the snake woman with even greater force.

An even louder scream followed.

Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction after seeing their actions.

They are upholding traditional virtues on stage.

A friend is coming from afar...

Han Shaoyun, who had just been killed by Lin Ze, and the snake woman became so-called "friends".

The three who were getting beaten up last time have also joined this "tradition".

To be honest, they adapted quite quickly.

"Big brother, what's going on over there?"

"Our new friend, do you remember how to treat a new friend?"

After a few seconds of contemplation, a fierce glint flashed in Ghost Face King's eyes.

"Remember!"

"Okay, let's go, I'll go with you."

As he spoke, Lin Ze and Ghost Face King came to the front of the crowd together.

He remembered that when he was unconscious, a voice kept calling his name.

Lin Ze is now certain that it wasn't Lao Zhao's voice.

That was Han Shaoyun's voice.

He also needed to ask Han Shaoyun whether the Ancient God Church's operation had ended.

Upon arriving before the crowd, the snake demon Nanda led them in giving the two a "traditional" education.

The snake woman was still a little unconvinced and kept muttering something to herself.

In contrast, Han Shaoyun was much more composed.

He stood there like a walking corpse, letting their attacks fall on him.

Perhaps this is his way of making amends.

At this point, Lin Ze finally couldn't stand it anymore and intervened to stop everyone.

"Stop it."

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

Lin Ze pointed at Han Shaoyun and said.

Just then, the snake woman seemed to grasp at a straw.

She grabbed Lin Ze's leg.

"Lin Ze, you're the boss here, right?"

"Make them stop right now, they can't fight anymore."

"Let me stay by your side and serve you. The victor takes all, the loser is nothing. I accept it."

Lin Ze didn't even glance at the snake woman, but simply gave the Ghost-Faced King a wink.

Then, the snake woman's figure was moved to the side.

Then, led by the Ghost-Faced King, the group gave the Snake Woman a "traditional" lesson.

"I never thought I'd still be alive."

"I've done so many things that I've wronged the Night Watch and the Great Xia Dynasty. I'm afraid I'll never be able to make up for it in this lifetime."

"I'd feel better if I just died."

Han Shaoyun said with a dejected expression.

"really."

"People like you deserve to die."

Hearing this, Han Shaoyun was slightly taken aback.

He thought Lin Ze would comfort him.

But thinking about it carefully, he really deserved to die.

"You're right, I almost killed both of you."

"If the two of you die, it will be a huge blow to the Great Xia Dynasty."

"It's a pity that not only did we survive, but you also became my strength."

"Your...power?"

Han Shaoyun looked at Lin Ze curiously and said.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Ze chuckled softly.

"You don't need to worry about this too much; it's not really your fault."

"Ask yourself honestly, if I were in your situation, I probably would have made the same choice."

"So, it's not your fault."

Han Shaoyun forced a smile. "Thank you."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ze's tone changed.

"But! You still did it!"

"That's where you're wrong."

"I know you didn't want to, but you did it anyway."

"Then shouldn't you make amends for your mistakes and do something to help Great Xia?"

Upon hearing this, Han Shaoyun instantly became excited.

But soon, his expression turned dejected again.

He does want to atone for his crimes by performing good deeds.

But he was already dead.

At that moment, Lin Ze suddenly stretched out his palm. "Follow me."

"I know what you're thinking. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."

"With me, you will experience a second life."

"Now, feel it: is there still a soul contract within you?"

Han Shaoyun's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately checked his soul status.

It turned out just as Lin Ze had said!

The soul contract has disappeared!

The shackles that had bound him for so long were finally gone!

"Once certain conditions are met, you will be given a second life."

"This time, it's a brand new life! A life no longer bound by any constraints!"

"Just like them."

Lin Ze pointed to Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King standing to the side.

Han Shaoyun could clearly sense that the two of them had a different aura than the others.

Their aura was very similar to Lin Ze's.

They are all living people!

"good!"

Then, Han Shaoyun tightly grasped Lin Ze's hand.

A smile appeared on Lin Ze's lips at that moment.

He could have avoided all this trouble.

As long as he's on stage, he controls everything.

But Lin Ze didn't want that.

Han Shaoyun and Zhao Kongcheng are in the same situation; they are both living, breathing human beings.

Moreover, they had all protected this land in the past.

Although Han Shaoyun's situation was very special, it was a last resort.

Therefore, Lin Ze treated them more like his own partners.

"Alright, let's talk about the Ancient Gods Church's operation this time."

"Tell me everything you know."

"Okay, but after I die, some of my memories will be erased."

"However, the erased memories are about future actions; I still remember the plan for this operation."

"Just say what you know."

Even though the person is already dead, the Church of the Ancient Gods still has the ability to erase memories.

That's quite cautious.

Well, let's just deal with whatever comes our way and see how things unfold.

Let's get through this crisis first.

"I won't go into the previous plans, right?"

"You've already guessed most of that, and there's no point in saying it now."

"Let's talk about the next steps."

Subsequently, Han Shaoyun revealed the entire plan that the Ancient God Church had against the two of them.

Lin Ze's expression grew increasingly serious as Han Shaoyun spoke.

"The Church of the Ancient Gods is really going all out!"

"No, we definitely can't rely on the captain and the others alone."

"We need foreign aid, but currently all foreign aid in Cangnan City is restricted."

"They've already taken that into account."

"If this isn't resolved quickly, we'll still lose this round!"

Just when Lin Ze was in a state of utter distress.

His gaze fell upon Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King, who were standing to the side.

Perhaps... we don't necessarily have to rely on others!
