The opening of Act III.

The host reads the script.

The group went on stage and began their performance.

Feeling humiliated and resentful, Su Man hired bandits to capture Lin Youyou and force her to hand over the treasure.

Lin Youyou was forced to lead everyone to the secret room.

Immediately afterwards, a precious seal radiating brilliant golden light appeared before everyone.

As the third act is about to end.

Su Man was the first to make a move.

The alluring earring on my earlobe clicked softly.

They poured all their energy into Lin Youyou.

According to the script, once the precious seal is removed, her role ends.

But she didn't want to die.

So the only option was to let Lin Youyou die.

Although Lin Youyou was already on guard after hearing what Gu Jingnian said.

But the incident happened so suddenly that she was still affected, and her eyes glazed over.

The action was a beat too slow.

Xing Lie rushed out at that moment.

The spear pierced straight into Lin Youyou's chest.

The faceless audience members all fell silent, staring intently at Lin Youyou.

They are waiting.

Wait until the blood splatters.

Su Man's eyes lit up with pleasure as she saw the spear drawn.

She won't die!

Xing Lie's lips also curled into a grin.

He was overjoyed that he had avenged his great grudge.

But Wang Yan, sitting in the audience, was very unhappy.

He came here with the intention of protecting Lin Youyou.

Now these two people actually want to kill her.

Isn't this a slap in the face to Wang Yan?

They should have listened to Lin Youyou and killed those two directly, to avoid any unforeseen complications.

He snorted coldly.

He pressed his finger on the word "Reward" on the armrest.

He remembers it.

Once a tip is given, only the recipient can move on stage.

This should be enough time for Lin Youyou to escape danger and kill one more person.

Thinking this, Wang Yan produced a broken mirror in his hand and casually tossed it onto the stage.

It was a useless F-grade artifact that I obtained after killing the Calamity monster in the Great Hall.

The reason he chose this item was that, apart from rare objects, the theater wouldn't let him throw away anything else.

The moment the strange object was thrown out, the sound of gongs and drums abruptly stopped.

All the actors on stage froze at the same time.

Only Lin Youyou's body was out of control, and she ended up at the location where the [Shattered Mirror] fell.

Catch it with both hands.

Her eyes cleared up immediately.

Looking at Xing Lie's dangerous shot behind him.

Frightened.

Almost.

It was just a hair's breadth away from piercing the heart.

If it weren't for this unexpected donation, she would have died here.

Thinking of this, Lin Youyou looked in the direction from which the tip had been thrown.

A person dressed in gray, a person of ordinary appearance.

He was sitting in the last row at that moment, looking at her with a smile.

"It's him! Wait, why isn't he on stage? Why is he in the audience?"

However, before Lin Youyou could even think about it, she noticed that the object in her hand was starting to heat up.

Upon seeing what was in her hand, Lin Youyou was stunned.

Broken mirror.

This is one of the rare items that Wang Yan obtained after defeating the Calamity in the auditorium.

How could that person exist?

Is it...

Lin Youyou suddenly looked towards the last row.

The man in gray was still sitting there, his face and demeanor ordinary.

Yet it gave him a sense of familiarity.

That's right, it's Wang Yan!

Suddenly, most of the tension in her heart dissipated.

The next second, the [Shattered Mirror] in his hand transformed into dozens of wisps of red energy, seventy percent of which drifted into Lin Youyou's body.

San Cheng then floated back towards the audience seats.

After absorbing all this red energy, Lin Youyou felt herself become even stronger.

Now is the time for revenge.

He turned to look at Su Man and Xing Lie.

Lin Youyou completely ignored Xing Lie.

He pulled the knife from the person next to him.

With a swift stroke, a head bearing a look of shock fell to the ground.

Lin Youyou raised her hand and brought her knife down.

puff!

Su Man's head rolled directly onto the stage.

Fresh blood gushed out.

The faceless audience members did not immediately cheer.

Instead, a chorus of disdain arose.

"Use external help."

"generally."

"We need to see how they fight back and turn the tide."

"This wasn't exciting enough."

Lin Youyou's theater ticket flashed.

[Remaining scenes: Act 5.]

No increase.

Lin Youyou's expression changed slightly.

She understood immediately.

Killing someone doesn't necessarily increase your screen time.

It only grows when the audience approves.

She used the pause effect of the reward to kill Su Man, but it doesn't count as a real comeback on her own.

Therefore, the audience does not accept it.

In other words, she needs to kill one more person to have a chance to survive until the final scene.

The next moment, the sound of gongs and drums ceased.

The host came on stage, smiling as he announced the song.

"Act Three, Seizing the Seal in the Building, End!"

Su Man's body was dragged backstage.

Only a theater ticket and a strange object were left on the side of the stage.

Xing Lie watched as Su Man's head disappeared, his face turning frighteningly grim.

He had thought that this shot would kill Lin Youyou.

Not only did it not work out, but Su Man also died first.

Wang Yan sat calmly in the last row of the audience.

He has plenty of strange items, enough for Lin Youyou to last until the end of this show.

Act IV begins soon.

"Act Four: The Chaotic Battle for the Seal!"

After the host finished announcing the news, the remaining actors on stage came on stage at the same time.

One of the instrument bearers turned pale upon seeing his theater ticket.

[Remaining scenes: four acts.]

After this scene is over, he'll have no more scenes.

If you don't get a role, you'll die.

His eyes hardened, and he first glanced at Lin Youyou, the weakest player on the field.

But then he remembered that the gray-clad audience member had somehow helped Lin Youyou earlier, and he abruptly turned his gaze away.

We can't afford to mess with them.

Let's choose another one then.

He lunged at another weapon-wielding man beside him.

"Brother, I'm sorry, but I'd rather you die than me."

Before the man could react, a knife pierced his chest.

Fresh blood spurted out.

The faceless audience members immediately cheered.

"good!"

"Now that's what you call a play!"

"That's ruthless!"

Tickets for "The Murderer" light up.

His screen time increased by 0.5.

[Remaining scenes: Scene 4.5.]

He looked at the words and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he won't die right after this scene ends.

There are only three people left on the stage now.

The forest is serene.

Xing Lie.

And the weapon-wielding man who just committed the murder.

All three survive Act IV.

So the fourth act became quiet.

No one moved again.

Read the words that should be read.

The correct movement.

The faceless audience members were somewhat dissatisfied, but they did not continue to boo.

The fourth act thus concluded with a tense atmosphere.

Soon, Act Five begins.

The host's voice rang out again.

"Act Five: The Bloodbath for the Seal!"

The tickets for the three people on stage lit up simultaneously.

The man wielding the weapon gritted his teeth and said, "Let's all talk about our roles. I'm in Act 4, Part 5."

Xing Lie coldly replied, "I also have a four-act, five-point score."

Lin Youyou glanced at her theater ticket.

"Five Acts"

The three of them turned pale.

"The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower" consists of six acts.

However, none of the three currently have a role in all six acts.

In other words, they need to kill each other, and only one person can safely move on to the next scene.

The man wielding the weapon glanced at Lin Youyou, then at Xing Lie.

Lin Youyou also looked at him.

The two made their decisions almost simultaneously.

Send Xing Lie away first.

Xing Lie is the strongest.

No one will survive unless we kill him first.

Xing Lie noticed the look in their eyes and sneered.

"What? You want to team up against me? With your abilities?"

He had barely finished speaking when the weapon-wielding man rushed forward.

Lin Youyou also made her move at the same time.

Xing Lie is indeed strong.

Once the [Bone-Shaking Armor] is activated, normal attacks can't even get close.

But Xing Lie is not Wang Yan; two fists can't fight four hands.

Lin Youyou and her companion, one in front and one behind, forced Xing Lie into a corner of the stage.

Xing Lie roared.

"Lin Youyou, you damned woman! You bitch! Wang Yan, you're not here, so you rely on other men? If you've got the guts, fight me fair and square!"

Lin Youyou's face was cold, and she did not respond.

They were simply attacking Xing Lie with all their might, along with another person.

Xing Lie seems to have truly come to hate Lin Youyou.

He punched the weapon-wielding man away and then launched a fierce attack on Lin Youyou.

They made no attempt to dodge the other person's attack.

Finally, Xing Lie couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down on the stage.

He stared at Lin Youyou, his eyes filled with resentment.

"If Wang Yan's injuries hadn't healed yet, would you two even be worthy of being called a couple?"

Lin Youyou didn't waste any words.

A single, fatal blow.

Cheers erupted from the audience.

"good!"

"A coordinated counterattack, that's awesome!"

Both of their theater tickets flashed.

[Remaining scenes: Act 5.5.]

not enough.

The person wielding the weapon also noticed it.

His expression changed, and he immediately stepped back.

But Wang Yan had already raised his hand.

On the armrest of seat number 13 in the last row, the words "Donate" lit up again.

He threw an F-grade artifact onto the stage.

"Reward Lin Youyou."

The drumming stopped abruptly.

The person wielding the weapon was a beat too slow.

Lin Youyou did not waste the opportunity.

Taking advantage of the moment when she received the tip, she lunged forward and stabbed him through the heart.

The man's eyes widened.

"Again?"

Lin Youyou drew her sword.

"Yeah, here we go again."

"If you have a cheat code and don't use it, aren't you out of your mind?"

This time, the faceless audience members cheered.

A single donation can only be described as an unfair victory for Lin Youyou.

However, the two consecutive donations came from the same person.

That was Lin Youyou's benefactor.

This is a completely different matter.

With the audience's applause, Lin Youyou's role naturally expanded to six acts.

[Remaining scenes: Act 6.]

Offstage, Wang Yan withdrew his hand, his expression unchanged.

Gu Jingnian, however, kept staring at him.

This man in gray gave Lin Youyou two consecutive tips.

Why?

He opened the class leader's handbook and suddenly realized something was wrong.

The manual lists all the performers who appeared on stage.

Including those who died, there were a total of thirteen people.

But he remembered that there were fourteen people in the group when they arrived.

The man in gray seemed to have come with them.

But now, he's sitting in the audience.

He is not an actor.

He was not a member of the opera troupe.

Gu Jingnian felt a chill in his heart.

He looked at Hanshan, his voice tense.

"How many people were there in total when you arrived?"

Hanshan answered without hesitation.

Fourteen.

Gu Jingnian then asked the other four people.

"Do you guys remember the guy in the gray shirt in the group?"

The four of them spoke in unison upon hearing this.

"I think so, but I can't quite remember."

Gu Jingnian was now certain.

The gray-clad man who tipped Lin Youyou was the one who came with them.

Thinking of this.

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Damn it, what exactly is that gray-clad figure? A calamity? Or did someone tamper with it beforehand?"
