143 Weird Theater 14

Mission Completed

"..." The dean felt his head buzzing. Why did such an outrageous thing happen to him! If he was reported for harboring a fugitive, he would never be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Ruined...his life was ruined...

As soon as Sang Mian finished speaking, a rapid prompt sound from the panel appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Something irresistible is approaching! ]

[Side quest: Three strange creatures are heading towards the player's location. The estimated arrival time is fifteen minutes. Please complete the main quest and leave the dungeon as soon as possible! Protect your life! Safety first!]

[Side quest reward: 30 million ghost coins]

[Penalty for failure: Death]

Everyone looked up at each other tacitly. Zhou Jianyi said speechlessly, "Why are the three of them as difficult to deal with as dog-skin plasters? President Sang, have you drugged Lou Cangyue? Not really."

Sang Mian looked up at the sky in pain: "Being too good is also a sin. I finally understand Xi Shi."

Xia Qing also sighed: "Yes, we can only blame Sister Sang for being too outstanding. Even Guiyi is crazy about her."

Everyone: “…” I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless!

Bai Tang said worriedly: "Hurry up and complete the main task."

Everyone walked into Xi Shi's exclusive lounge, only to see Xi Shi looking at herself in the mirror with resentment.

Sang Mian took a few deep breaths, forced a far-fetched smile and asked, "Are you still unhappy? Can you tell us about it?"

Xi Shi sighed, "Thinking back on the end of my life, I was separated from my parents, without a husband and children. It's really boring when I think about it. It would be great if I could have a happy family like an ordinary person."

Xia Qing's eyes went dark and she almost fell down. She held onto Sang Mian's arm and said weakly, "Do you want to build a family for Xi Shi? I can't do that!"

Bai Tang was also dumbfounded, "This is unscientific and can't be achieved at all."

Sang Mian also advised: "Yes, yes, why don't you change your wish."

"It's not that difficult actually." Xishi looked back at everyone and said gently, "Why don't you leave a few of you to accompany me? I'll definitely be very happy to have you as my family."

Everyone: “…” No matter what, we can’t repay kindness with enmity, right?

"It's over." Luo Jiangjiang said dejectedly: "Do we have to lose a few teammates to pass the level?"

"Wait!" Sang Mian suddenly had an idea and she thought of a good idea. Not only could she completely get rid of Lou Cangyue's entanglement, but she could also help Xisi fulfill his wish!

She blinked her eyes and said mysteriously, "We definitely can't do that! But I have some good candidates!"

Xishi's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

Sang Mian smiled and said, "I know a man named Lou, who is handsome, talented, mature and steady. He is very loyal in love and can be said to be faithful. He is really a rare good man!" She raised her eyebrows: "I plan to introduce him to you, what do you think?"

Xishi bit her lip and looked very excited.

The corner of Xia Qing's mouth twitched, and she whispered to Bai Tang: "Sister Sang, are you talking about Lou Cangyue?"

Bai Tang nodded with difficulty, "It should be. After all, Lou Cangyue... is indeed very loyal." Thinking back to Lou Cangyue's abnormal obsession and possessiveness towards Mian Mian, she felt goosebumps all over the floor.

Sang Mian continued, "I also know a good father. He is a rare good father. Although his child is a fool, he still sticks with him and would rather suffer and wear himself to provide food and clothing for his child. Unfortunately, his child is gone and he is all alone now. I would like to introduce him to you as a family member!"

Xia Qing opened his mouth in shock: "Could this father be the former director of the Third Weird Hospital?"

Bai Tang silently lit a candle for the former dean in his heart. If the former dean knew that he had a beautiful daughter, he would definitely be... very happy, right? Mianmian was really kind-hearted.

Sang Mian became more and more excited as he spoke: "Finally, I'll give you a son as a gift. Even though he's a little old, a little ugly, and has a bad personality, he's still a good guy. Wouldn't the four of you together make a happy family?"

Xia Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Sister Sang was so good at tricking people that she was moved by her words.

Xishi's brows relaxed after hearing this, but she still worriedly asked, "But will they be willing to accompany me?"

"Why do you care whether they are willing or not?" Sang Mian waved her hand. "Women should be strong. As long as you have enough strength, who dares not to listen to you? You have experienced all kinds of weirdness in your life, but you still don't understand the principle of fighting for yourself?"

Xi Shi thought it made sense, and she nodded seriously: "You are right! A disobedient man will become obedient after a lesson!" She pulled Sang Mian gratefully: "You are really a beacon on my life journey, thank you!"

"What! What's the big deal? We are all women, it's only natural." Sang Mian and Xi Shi held hands tightly, looking like good friends: "If you have any problems, just tell me, sister. We are friends!"

Luo Jiangjiang and Yan Ming were confused. They listened to President Sang's words, but before they understood, they saw a man and a ghost hugging each other tenderly. Although Xi Shi was a peerless beauty, she was also weird! The ghost value was as high as 87 points. How dare President Sang?

When the two were dumbfounded, the door of the lounge suddenly opened.

A strange aura floated in from outside the door, and three black figures appeared in front of everyone. Lou Zangyue's face was half hidden in the shadows, and his dark eyes looked straight at Sang Mian in the crowd.

Luo Jiangjiang took a deep breath, "Fuck! They're coming! Are we doomed?"

Yan Ming grabbed Luo Jiangjiang's hand and choked up, "I am about to die. There are some things I was planning to do slowly and tell you later, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance. Actually..."

Xia Qing squinted her eyes and secretly glanced at the two of them. It couldn’t be so bloody, right? Confessing at this time?

Luo Jiangjiang was so moved that she burst into tears: "Go ahead, I want to hear it."

Yan Ming continued, "In fact, I was the one who stole the spicy boneless chicken feet that day! I'm sorry! If I had known that was the last bag of boneless chicken feet you would have in your life, I would never have eaten it secretly!"

"..." Luo Jiangjiang: "Get lost!"

Xia Qing: “…” What a waste of time.

The lounge fell into deathly silence again.

Lou Zangyue opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and hoarse: "Mianmian, we meet again."

He knew that Mianmian hated him and would definitely tell him to get lost or even hit him directly. He could endure all of that as he hadn't seen Mianmian for a long time. He would be happy even if Mianmian pointed at him and scolded him.

Lou Cangyue has never been so determined. This time he wants to take Mianmian away. No matter what the cost, he wants to tie Mianmian to his side forever and never separate.

But he saw Mianmian smiled. Mianmian waved at him and said in a cheering tone: "You are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

After seeing the change in Lou Cangyue's expression, the former dean quickly pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Don't be fooled! As the saying goes, women's mouths are deceiving! Don't be fooled by her, there must be an explosion!"

The supervisor nodded repeatedly: "Yes! It's absolutely right. A boy as innocent as you is too easy to be deceived. You must be firm in your heart."

Sang Mian tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What are you mumbling about? Don't you want to see me? Come here quickly."

Lou Zangyue stared at Sang Mian closely and said with a wry smile: "Don't use those little tricks of yours. Give up, Mian Mian. If you leave with me now, we can still be together happily."

To be honest, he still couldn't bear to hurt Mianmian, but if Mianmian refused to obey, he would definitely do it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sang Mian rolled his eyes at him and said to Xi Shi, "See? These three are the family I prepared for you. How are they? Are you satisfied?"

Xi Shi covered her mouth and chuckled. She was really satisfied.

Sang Mian pointed at Lou Cangyue in the middle and said, "From now on, you are Yi Guang's boyfriend."

Lou Zangyue frowned. What tricks was Mianmian playing now?

Then Sang Mian pointed to the former dean on the left and said, "You are Yi Guang's father."

Former Dean: "Are you mentally ill?"

Finally, Sang Mian pointed at the supervisor and said, "You are Yi Guang's son." She said earnestly, "From now on, you will be a loving family of four. I wish you a happy family and happiness!"

The supervisor crossed his arms and watched the farce coldly. Although he didn't know why Sang Mian mentioned him, he knew that it was a useless struggle of an ant because no monster would listen to her.

Luo Jiangjiang choked and said, "Is this okay?"

"Ahem!" Xia Qing said proudly, "Don't question Sister Sang."

"Now please hug each other to show friendship." Sang Mian smiled and opened his arms: "We are all witnesses of your happy family."

The former dean glanced at Xishi, and was relieved when he saw that her Wei Qi value was 87 points. After all, such a powerful Weirdness would definitely not be manipulated by others. He sneered at Sang Mian: "Do you think she is a fool? You do whatever I say?"

Before she finished her words, Xishi floated towards the three people. She first opened her arms to the former dean: "Dear family, let's hug."

Former Dean: “?”

He fell into deep doubt, then reached out and touched Xishi's forehead, and said to himself: "No fever?"

Xishi's beautiful eyes showed doubt: "Are you unwilling?" Without waiting for the former dean to answer, she smiled calmly: "It's okay, feelings need to be cultivated, I understand."

After saying that, she stretched out her arms towards Lou Zangyue again, "Let's hug each other then."

Lou Zangyue didn't move either. He said one word with a gloomy face: "Get lost."

Anyone with a little common sense would not keep pestering her. Lou Cangyue folded his arms across his chest and looked down at Xi Shi. If nothing unexpected happened, this pretty woman would run away crying.

What he didn't expect was that Xishi just paused, then turned to Sang Mian and said seriously: "You are right, men do need to be trained. Thank you for introducing them to me."

She figured it out: as long as she had enough strength, even the most forced melon would taste sweet.

"Okay, then we'll leave first." After saying that, Sang Mian led everyone out the door.

The aura around Lou Cangyue became even colder. He reached out to grab Sang Mian's arm, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was surrounded by a strong and strange aura.

He was horrified and tried to escape from the black strange aura around him, but the power disparity between him and Xi Shi was so great that he couldn't even move. Instead, the more he moved, the tighter the strange aura wrapped around him, as if it was going to squeeze into his flesh.

Lou Zangyue immediately yelled at the former dean: "What are you waiting for! Save me!"

The former dean’s eyes almost popped out. It was not that he didn’t want to save people, but he was also surrounded by strange aura. Xishi was stronger than him, so he couldn’t move at all!

Xishi looked at the overseer with a smile: "What about you, my dear son?"

"Do you think I will give in?" The supervisor gritted his teeth, tears welling up on his not-so-handsome face.

Xishi hooked her hand slightly, and a trace of cunning was about to drill into him, "You are really brave."

The supervisor raised his head and said stubbornly: "Mom! I have always wanted to have a happy family. From now on, you are my dearest family!"

Lou Zangyue, former dean: "..." Damn! Traitor!

…

The moment Xishi took action, Sangmian and the other seven had all slipped out of the lounge.

[Side quest: Three strange creatures are heading towards the player's location. The estimated arrival time is fifteen minutes. Please complete the main quest and leave the dungeon as soon as possible! Protect your life! Safety first!]

【Rewards are being distributed...】

[10 million ghost money, players can check it by themselves]

[The main mission is completed, and the player will leave the dungeon in ten minutes]

Luo Jiangjiang burst into tears of joy after hearing the system's notification to leave. "Great! We succeeded! To be honest, I thought we couldn't escape just now, luckily President Sang is here!"

“Don’t say that.” Sang Mian said embarrassedly, “I was able to pass this dungeon successfully thanks to everyone’s efforts. Without your help, I wouldn’t even be able to pass the acting test.”

Bai Tang put her arm around Sang Mian's shoulders and said with emotion: "Without the efforts of any one of us, we would not have been able to pass the game smoothly this time. Unity is really important." She smiled at Luo Jiangjiang and Yan Ming and said: "Thanks to your help, the No Coriander Guild welcomes you to join. See you in the player lobby."

After chatting for a while, there were still five minutes left. Sang Mian suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "There is still one thing I haven't done! Where is the dean?"

Xia Qing pointed to a room in the corridor and said, "He had just gone in when we came out. He seemed to have eavesdropped on our conversation before."

Upon hearing that, Sang Mian ran straight to the room, running faster than a rabbit and disappeared in a flash.

After pushing open the door, the dean was indeed inside. He was lying on a soft chair with a script in his hand. The name of the script was "The Secret History of Xi Shi". He did not read the script, but stared at the ceiling with empty eyes. He did not react when he heard the door open.

Time was running out, so Sang Mian said directly: "The fugitive is in your theater. You should keep your promise and transfer the theater to me."

The dean said nothing, but pointed to the table next to him and said, "The transfer document has been prepared, just sign it."

Sang Mian looked at him suspiciously. Something was wrong. Why did the dean suddenly become so easy to talk to?

Without time to think, she ran to the table, picked up the transfer document, read it quickly, and after making sure there were no text traps, she wrote her name. When the last stroke was made, the system prompt sounded.

[Player identity change detected...]

[Original identity: New actor]

[Current identity: Director of the Weird Theater]

[The strangeness value is being recalculated...]

[The Dean status adds 10 points of weirdness. Players are encouraged to work hard to run the Weird Theater! ]

"Alas... you really cured Yi Guang." The dean seemed to be talking to himself, "Yi Guang has been working in the theater since I took over. She is the most special actor in the theater, because she is not acting, she is just reviewing her miserable life over and over again. She is always sad and never laughs. Apart from acting, she does not communicate with any weird people."

"I have thought about consoling her before, but I have never succeeded. I blamed history for my failure because I cannot change history. But I never thought that every time I acted, I hurt Yi Guang. After seeing her smile just now, I finally understood. All she wanted was someone to tell her that she was never a woman who brought disaster to the country. She is a hero of their country!"

"Please change the script... Don't let Yi Guang suffer in future scripts..."

Sang Mian didn't hear the rest of the words because her vision began to blur and the theater's furnishings gradually disappeared. When she regained sight, she had returned home.

The familiar feeling of hunger came over her. Sang Mian did not eat immediately, but rushed to the computer to search for Xi Shi's ending. After browsing more than a dozen web pages, she closed the computer.

History does not record Xi Shi's final outcome. Later generations have made many speculations about her, such as hanging herself because of guilt towards the King of Wu, being drowned in the river by the people of Wu, and sailing away on the lake with Fan Li. But no matter what her final outcome was, later generations believed that she was a loyal and heroic woman who sacrificed her life for her country, and she was never a beauty that brought disaster.

If Xi Shi could save the country from destruction, who would have been responsible for the destruction of the State of Yue?

Suddenly, a tear slid down her cheek, and that tear seemed to carry away Xi Shi's sadness.
