Chapter 64 Un Entertainment He gradually resonated with "them," and they...

The young man waited nervously behind a curtain.

The rabbit mask concealed his expression, but his emotions could still be felt from his constantly rising and falling deep breaths.

His wildly beating heart was connected to his nerves, and he felt as if he were constantly falling.

He's almost deaf.

The music blared.

The moment the curtain was drawn back, some unseen force pulled him to the center of the stage, which was as dark as an abyss.

And at the end of the abyss is the gaze of "them".

Jiang Yang didn't know what "them" were, but she could sensitively notice the gazes clinging to her.

Driven to his will, he had no room to resist. He heard his own voice and began the first part of the chant.

I had a dream

In my dream, I put on a rabbit mask.

The moonlight illuminated the path leading to the forest.

A fervent heart stirred a vortex in the darkness.

A faint light, seemingly from nowhere, illuminated the path at his feet; it was a winding, stone-paved road.

Countless rabbits had crossed that road. Suddenly, the music stopped, and someone asked, "Would you like to come with us?"

In the darkness, an expectant silence erupted; everyone was waiting.

Jiang Yang tentatively took back control of her body and stepped forward. The music started again, and "they" cheered.

This is my memory.

The rabbit mask in my memory holds a secret.

Primal desires and longings under the night sky

Dedicate a passionate dream to passionate enthusiasts.

The singing echoed in the darkness, the notes like sharp blades cutting through the air. He gradually resonated with "them," achieving a delicate balance with them. His heartbeat and breath trembled at the high notes and sank into a deeper abyss after the low notes.

"Let yourself sink."

"Let you become one of us."

Us?

The scene before my eyes shifted, and Jiang Yang sat upright in front of the dressing table.

He covered the mask with his left hand and reached for the short rope tied behind his head with his other hand.

He slowly and gracefully removed the mask, but Ali's face appeared in the mirror.

The small knife with the copper handle pierced the mirror and went straight for Jiang Yang's face. Jiang Yang reacted quickly and dragged the chair to create distance.

As if knowing that Jiang Yang couldn't leave the chair for the time being, Xiao Dao changed direction and attacked him again without pausing.

Jiang Yang took out his small dagger with a purple copper handle and stabbed it straight at it. The reflection in the mirror was defeated and fled in panic.

The mirror cracked due to the force, and Ali's face, as if it could no longer hold, revealed Jiang Yang's true appearance.

Just before she disappeared, Jiang Yang clearly heard her say, "Help me!"

I know that secret.

But I can't change it.

Jiang Yang returned to the center of the stage, the lyrics flowing from his lips, but sounding like Ali's voice.

He listened carefully, and then it dawned on him that this was a songstress's narration, Ali's memories, and that he was now Ali.

I still remember the Jade Rabbit that killed the Rat Doctor, and the bloody battle that erupted outside the clinic over an abortion.

Ali said, "I compromised."

Blood splattered everywhere, emitting a silent roar.

I am both an actor I cannot escape and a tragic audience member.

...

Jiang Yang regained consciousness and accurately spotted Cain sitting in the audience in the darkness.

He looked at Cain, and Cain looked through him at Ali.

The lights came on, and Jiang Yang appeared on the deck of the cruise ship, looking somewhat tired after removing his mask.

Footsteps sounded behind him, but he didn't turn around. He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and the salty smell of the sea breeze filled his nostrils. He turned his head and asked, "When can I disembark?"

After the performance ended, Jiang Yang did not receive any notification from the system.

Cain, preoccupied with his own words, replied, "They originally intended to present the Holy Infant as a gift to their distinguished guests at the feast on the seventh day."

Jiang Yang lowered her eyes and shook her head. "Our task is simply to pass the assessment."

Cain placed his hand on his shoulder. “But the trial is over in seven days; they are simply not eligible to attend the banquet.”

What are the qualifications?

Cain took a step forward, resting his hand on the railing and leaning his upper body outward, his gaze seemingly fixed on the 33rd floor of Un Entertainment, "an animal ranking that is constantly being updated."

Artist training is Un Entertainment's first layer; human trafficking and the darkroom are Un Entertainment's second layer; and the third layer is the investment scheme located on the 33rd floor.

Every artist who joins Un Entertainment receives a unique number on their first day, and this number will be mentioned repeatedly with every bet placed by gamblers.

Jiang Yang was surprised by Cain's frankness, so he asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Stop them, they'll ruin the seventh day's banquet."

...

Jiang Yang was assigned to stay in the first-class cabin of the ship, and Cain told him that he could disembark and leave after the banquet.

While sleeping, his mind was restless and uneasy, and he had a dream of drowning and nearly dying.

After struggling to wake up, he turned his head and saw a raised curve on the opposite bed, which startled him so much that he almost screamed.

Fortunately, he managed to see who was on the other side in time, which allowed him to gradually calm down.

He rolled over to face the wall, arching his back under the covers, his forehead pressed against the wall. The cold touch stimulated his nerves, and he desperately needed a way to calm down quickly.

Cain's words still echoed in Jiang Yang's ears as he recalled the message Nan Ke had sent him before he boarded the ship.

Nan Ke said, "Maple is missing," which made Jiang Yang not only doubt Cain's identity when they met, but also his intentions.

On the panel, Nan Ke sent a lot of messages before Jiang Yang boarded the ship. Nan Ke also said that Miguel was one of Maple's people.

The problem is that Miguel introduced him to the ballet, which allowed him to enter The Silence of the Lambs and even kill Thurke.

The death of Thurk also led to Maple's disappearance.

Of course, Jiang Yang felt that a more accurate description than "disappeared" would be "never existed."

If Maple wanted him to participate in The Silence of the Lambs, she wouldn't have put him through the musical auditions.

Therefore, since Maple did not want him to participate in The Silence of the Lambs, Miguel, who brought him into the ballet, would not be one of Maple's people.

Or perhaps Miguel thought it was Maple, but it was actually Cain.

So, the result was that Cain wanted him to kill Drek.

But Jiang Yang couldn't understand why.

He had assumed that everyone in the trial would be fighting for the same goal.

His head instinctively slammed forward, making a loud bang.

He gasped in pain, sat up, and covered his head to relieve the brief dizziness.

There was a sound of someone getting out of bed across from them, and Ji Yang's worried gaze came into view. He asked in a panic, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yang had already opened his eyes when Jiang Yang woke up. Sensing Jiang Yang's emotions, he didn't say anything, intending to let him digest the situation slowly. However, the loud noise that rang out really startled him, and his heart also trembled.

After a while, Jiang Yang changed the subject, "Did I wake you up?"

Ji Yang sat down next to Jiang Yang's bed. "No, I just woke up."

One observer couldn't help but complain that Ji Yang was increasingly resembling the conman from 007.

Of course, their understanding that the two people are the same person is still in a state of forced acceptance.

The two fell silent again. After a long while, Ji Yang began to recount what had happened after Jiang Yang boarded the ship.

"Huang Er's wound has been treated, but he forced himself to perform. His ranking wasn't high enough for tomorrow's banquet, so he can't attend. He's now back in his old dormitory."

“I wasn’t originally supposed to be a participant, but Huang Er was seriously injured, and I helped him treat him in Chuikel’s cabin. After Chuikel chased after you back, we finished filming.”

Filmmaking involves more than just actors; another very important role is played by the director.

Ji Yang, as the director, announced the end of filming. When Trekker pounced on them for the last time, all the surviving actors in "The Silence of the Lambs" were sent to the cruise ship, and Ji Yang's name appeared after the director's column, allowing him to board the ship as well.

"And what about Nan Ke?"

"He was resting next door. When he saw you say you were boarding the ship, he ran over."

What is the content of his performance?

"I think he only sang one song."

Jiang Yang couldn't determine whether the content of a song was related to her own situation.

Ji Yang got up and pulled the blanket up for him, saying soothingly, "Sleep a little longer. The banquet won't be until the seventh night. There's nothing to do during the day tomorrow, so you can get some rest."

Jiang Yang gave a soft "hmm," then shrank back under the covers, completely covering her head. Ji Yang smiled helplessly and said, "Then call me if you need anything."

The young man remained silent.

His thoughts drifted away; in fact, after the mirror shattered, he saw more than just himself and Ali.

He also saw the car accident he had in the real world three years ago, and the teacher he trusted most during his university days who appeared near the accident site.

But contrary to his memory, the teacher had already been murdered at Un Entertainment by this time.

He infiltrated Un Entertainment as an undercover agent because his teacher was murdered.

He was in a car accident because he was working undercover at Un Entertainment.

Looking back at the car accident from a third-party perspective, he saw the teacher standing next to the accident.

For a moment, he couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

If the teacher was not dead, but deliberately conveyed the news of his death to him.

Jiang Yang thought of Ali's song, "I am an actor who cannot escape, and also a tragic audience member."

Teachers, on the other hand, are both bystanders in this tragedy and inescapable victims.

Like Cain and Maple, like Trickel and Trickel.

!!

Maple wanted him to participate in the musical!

Jiang Yang was somewhat shocked to realize this conclusion.

Maple does want him to participate in musical performances.

But Cain, with a clever twist of fate, deliberately moved his nameplate from the ballet to The Silence of the Lambs.

He also allowed Maple to replace the nameplate, using Miguel to lure him back to the ballet.

Using A-level privileges again, pull the treble to break through the space.

Ultimately, they killed Trelk using a miniature camera.

No! Kill Maple.

To be precise, Maple hoped that he could extract information about the files from Ali's memories.

This is the only thing they haven't broken through yet.

Jiang Yang judged that she would probably have to go to the sixth floor again.

The author's note: I've been a bit anxious these past few days, so I made a note of the data increase.

Hehe~ I can see that some babies have read many chapters.

This is Xiao'o's first book, and sometimes the writing style feels a bit disorganized.

I only felt comfortable with myself when I had written about 200,000 words.

So if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments section, and please feel free to interact with us.

Thank you for being with me and witnessing the growth of Borderlands. Let's walk the flower path together in the future!
