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

The biggest problem Lin Ze and his team are facing right now is a lack of manpower.

The few members of Squad 136 alone cannot handle those mysterious things.

Moreover, their condition is not very good.

If we could get a few more helpers, this problem would be much easier to solve.

But the Church of the Ancient Gods has invested so much; how could they not have considered this point?

Therefore, all the forces capable of supporting Cangnan City in a short period of time were restricted by them.

The higher-ups may already know about the situation in Cangnan City, or they may be sending people here.

But by the time they arrived, Cangnan City had already fallen.

Therefore, we can't rely on others; we can only rely on ourselves.

Lin Ze's condition is not good either; he has only just recovered from a near-death experience.

Currently, they have no combat capability whatsoever.

Just then, Lin Ze thought of Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King.

These two are top-tier combatants.

If we could get them to go out and help... maybe we could really resolve this crisis!

Asking the audience to go out and help might seem a bit absurd.

But Lin Ze's thinking is not without basis.

Didn't he send a few snake demons out before?

He even tried to get Zhao Kongcheng out, but ultimately failed.

Lin Ze recalled that the reason given by the stage management was, "A performance is in progress, and the audience cannot leave the stage."

That's how the stage would interpret it, but that's what Lin Ze thought.

To get someone off the stage, you only need to meet one of two conditions.

Firstly, the audience has little influence on the outside world.

Just like those snake demons, Lin Ze sent them out to serve as a "vision" so they could return to normal life.

The changing situation will not have a significant impact on them, so the stage will not limit them.

This is the first one.

The second point is what was said on stage.

The performance is in progress; you cannot leave.

What if the performance ends? Then can I leave?

Furthermore, with the "resurrection" of Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King, Lin Ze became even more convinced of his idea.

"Can I let them out?"

"Should their performance be over now?"

Lin Ze looked up at the pair of eyes floating in the void and said.

Immediately, a message appeared in front of Lin Ze.

Audience members are free to enter and leave the stage after the performance, with the performers' permission.

The performance is considered complete once it reaches 90% completion.

Ok?

Really!

Lin Ze was instantly stunned.

It turns out that what I guessed were the rules of the stage!

But why am I only finding out now!

"No, then why didn't you tell me sooner!"

"If I had known sooner, would I have been so petty?"

"Before this matter, I will have trained [Eternal Life Flash Moon] and [Serpent Seed] to over 90%!"

Lin Ze's anger was tinged with a hint of regret.

Once the performance of [Ghost Face Earth Observation] reached 90%, Lin Ze suspended all cultivation in the forbidden areas.

He didn't want anyone else to leave him.

Therefore, Lin Ze basically wasted his time during that period.

But now you're suddenly telling me that they won't leave, and that they'll be resurrected?

I *****, you *****.

(Thousands of words omitted here.)

You didn't even ask.

Upon seeing the message, Lin Ze chuckled speechlessly.

Sure enough, people can laugh when they're extremely speechless.

Lin Ze then opened the book "An Actor Prepares".

It was discovered that the rule was indeed written there.

Lin Ze didn't know exactly when it was written down.

The rules are written right there; if you don't read them, you can't blame anyone else.

Lin Ze forcibly suppressed his inner emotions.

From then on, he silently made a plan for himself.

Every time I return to the stage, I glance at "An Actor Prepares."

To avoid missing any important information like this time.

Although he was tricked, Lin Ze was still very happy about the changes overall.

He summoned Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King.

"What is your true strength right now?"

"If I leave the stage."

Lin Ze added an extra sentence.

The two exchanged a glance, then assessed their own cultivation levels.

A few seconds later, the two said in unison,

"Peak of the River Realm!"

The pinnacle of the Sichuan region?!

How could their level be so high?

Moreover, the most important thing is not their cultivation level, but their proficiency with the Forbidden Ruins.

Lin Ze's performance of the forbidden ruins was over 90% accurate; their proficiency was even higher than Lin Ze's.

And that is their biggest advantage!

If they can make good use of the forbidden void, these two, both at the peak of the River Realm, might be able to contend with those at the Sea Realm!

Seeing that Lin Ze was a little too excited, Zhao Kongcheng asked,

"Kid, what's got you so excited?"

Tell me what made you happy.

After hearing Zhao Kongcheng's words, Lin Ze forced himself to calm down.

He believed that Zhao Kongcheng might appear calm now.

If I tell him this news, he will definitely be even more excited than I am!

"Old Zhao, after I told you about this..."

You must control your emotions.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Lin Ze said in a heavy tone, "Cangnan City is currently suffering from a large-scale mysterious invasion."

"The captain and the others have already gone."

"But the captain and his team alone can't solve so many mysteries."

"Forget about solving the mystery, even the captain and the others could be in danger!"

Upon learning this news, Zhao Kongcheng's anger level instantly reached its maximum.

On one hand, the city he had protected his whole life was threatened once again.

On one hand, his former teammates, who had fought alongside him, were in danger.

How could Zhao Kongcheng not be furious?

But... after the anger subsided, reason prevailed once again.

Anger, but what good is anger?

I am nothing but a dead man now. Even if I were to be resurrected, I would be a living dead trapped on a stage.

He can't help.

At this moment, Lin Ze smiled slightly, patted Zhao Kongcheng on the shoulder, and said,

"General Zhao."

"Cangnan City needs you, Team 136 needs you!"

"Finally, I want to tell you that I can take you out to help!"

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Ze told Zhao Kongcheng the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng looked at Lin Ze in disbelief.

"Kid, are you sure this is true?"

"This is not something you can joke about!"

"Really, of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Once you reach perfection with [Ming Sheng Shan Yue], you will be able to freely enter and exit the stage."

"Now you can certainly go out and help the captain and the others."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kongcheng's previously depressed mood suddenly turned into one of ecstasy.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Dry!"

"Let me out! I'm going to kill these beasts!"

"It's one thing to cause trouble elsewhere, but to dare come to Cangnan!"

"Lin Ze, quick, let me out!"

As he spoke, Zhao Kongcheng shook Lin Ze's shoulders forcefully, almost making him dizzy.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you out right away!"

Immediately, with a thought from Lin Ze, Zhao Kongcheng's figure disappeared from the spot.

Then he looked at Ghost Face King and said, "Your abilities are mainly supportive, so your primary responsibility after you go out is to protect them."

"Another option is to teleport them back and forth."

"I know you're not weak in combat either."

"But this time, I don't want anyone to get hurt, understand?"

"clear!"

The Ghost-Faced King nodded vigorously.

Then he felt everything go black.

When he regained his sight, he found himself in a clean and tidy room.

Zhao Kongcheng and Lin Ze were also here.

"Is this... Hongying's house?"

"Yes, Qi Ye and I are seriously injured right now. The captain arranged for us to recuperate at Sister Hong Ying's house, and Xiao Nan is also here to take care of us."

"I'll contact Captain Xiaonan and the others right now."

"Okay! Go quickly, I can't wait!"

Zhao Kongcheng gripped the Star Blade tightly, looking like he couldn't wait any longer.

However, before finding Si Xiaonan, Lin Ze had one more thing to do.

That is to conceal the identities of Zhao Kongcheng and Ghost Face King.

If a dead person were suddenly put in front of her, she would probably find it hard to accept it for a while.

Moreover, Lin Ze didn't know how to explain it to her.

Also, the Ghost King's appearance is indeed quite frightening.

"Old Zhao, you can't meet everyone yet."

"this......"

Just as Lin Ze was about to explain to Zhao Kongcheng, Zhao Kongcheng said nonchalantly,

"Oh dear, I thought it was something else entirely."

"It's alright."

"As long as we can protect them, it doesn't matter whether we see them or not."

Seeing Zhao Kongcheng like this, Lin Ze felt relieved.

"Okay, then we'll wear the same clothes from now on."

As he spoke, Lin Ze took out two sets of clothes from the stage's storeroom and tossed them to the two of them.

It was a unique black cloak, made by Lin Ze by adding the power of night.

From the very beginning, he had the idea of ​​building his own force.

So, when I had some free time, I made some clothes.

I just didn't expect to use it so soon.

After they put it on, their figures changed instantly.

Zhao Kongcheng's physique did not change much from its original form, but it was different for Ghost Face King.

His massive body began to shrink, and soon he became about the same size as Zhao Kongcheng.

It's completely unbelievable that this was originally a mysterious creature.

But the changes brought about by the black cloak were not limited to this; his appearance also turned completely black after he put on the cloak, like the pitch-black night.

In the darkness of the night, a bright star shone on Zhao Kongcheng's face.

The Ghost King has two stars on his face.

"Okay, that's basically what I thought."

"You take Lao Zhao and leave first, I'll go find someone."

"Yes, brother."

The unfamiliar voice of the Ghost-Faced King came through.

The black cloaks altered not only their physique and appearance, but also their voices.

Lin Ze smiled, his gaze sharp as he looked out the window, and said...

"Since we're here, let's stay here forever!"
