Keep your troops in place

In the evening, Su Liu was walking in the yard, and Yuan Yue came quietly to find him.

"If, I mean if..." Yuanyue said tentatively, "you discovered that the world you live in is just a book, and you happen to know the plot, what would you do?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. How could you possibly have such an idea?" Su Liu looked puzzled. How could he possibly be related to Yuan Yue? "I've only heard of 'one is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulating good deeds, five is reading; six is ​​reputation, seven is appearance, eight is respecting the gods, nine is making friends with noble people, and ten is maintaining good health.' Instead of believing that this world is a book, why not try to make some changes within your power?"

"......" Yuan Yue seemed to be lost in thought.

In the original book, Yuan Yue was a person who was assimilated into the "landlord class" after he became well versed in the rules of survival in another world.

Perhaps, when he first started wandering around at the bottom, he had a fleeting desire to rebel.

But before long, his "heroine halo" quickly lifted him out of poverty and into the upper class. From then on, his thinking inevitably followed the perspective of those with vested interests, like building blocks, filling in the gaps in the old "order"...

And now, even if the core is replaced, there is no difference.

This Yuan Yue is even more restrained than the original owner. He knows very well that this is a dangerous world, so when encountering something, he always refers to the original plot first. If something goes wrong, he will immediately take what he thinks is the most effective remedial measure at the moment. He cannot afford the consequences of the plot deviating from the "established route".

Su Liu suddenly understood why Qi Fengling always left room for anyone who hurt him.

because……

That is a common weakness of human nature.

I don't want my cousin to stop begging, but I don't want him to get out of poverty.

Very few people can maintain their human form when faced with interests that they cannot even imagine.

"...I don't think I can do it. I'm just a nobody. I can take care of myself, thank God," Yuanyue said after thinking for a long time.

He was willing to calm down and think carefully about Su Liu's words because he had met many people in the other world, and naturally he had also met some "big shots" who were powerful and could decide his life or death with just one word, so he was better at observing people's words and expressions than the "female protagonist".

After all, the plot of the original book does not introduce all the characters in detail, so even if Su Liu does not appear in the plot of the original book, Yuan Yue will not underestimate him.

What Yuan Yue didn't know was that the Spark City in the original book was not the Spark City today that had a system to protect its early development.

The Spark City in the original book was a "city" that the rebels established after they pacified a baron's manor in Nancheng and openly challenged the king.

It's a city within a city. Its geographical area isn't very large, and its defenses aren't perfect. It only lasted about half a year before being wiped out. So...

People like Yuanyue who are "familiar" with the plot are the ones who are least willing to have anything to do with this city.

Although he admittedly admired supporting characters like Liu Weizhen, who resolutely sacrificed themselves despite questioning the irrationality of their superiors' orders, so what? It was meaningless.

In his opinion, it was even more foolish.

Even if the original intention of the resistance army was to become the only light in this world.

But now it is a mixed bag, it is already a spent force and has no chance of making a difference. Its defeat is an expected outcome.

In this situation, just as Yuan Yue said, it was already extremely difficult for him to take care of himself, so how could he have the energy to die bravely?

After all, this world has nothing to do with him.

Well, that’s also a way to live.

Being bad is also a way of living.

It wasn't his fault.

Why should he change?

Yuan Yue thought for a long time, quickly sorting out his chaotic thoughts. He glanced at Su Liu hesitantly and cautiously reminded him, "Lord City Lord, if someone told you that your camp was bound to lose, that your actions were meaningless, and that future generations would surely label you all as a group of rioters, would you still go on without hesitation?"

Su Liu raised an eyebrow. He was a little surprised. Yuan Yue's words almost had a hint of flattery and pity, which conflicted with his stereotype of Yuan Yue. "I never like to take the usual route. If someone said that, I would immediately change the way."

"You mean... you will give up on them?" Yuan Yue asked in surprise.

"Maybe," Su Liu smiled slightly, but thought to himself: The change of path I'm talking about is not this path.

There was no need to tell Yuanyue what he was thinking. The more Yuanyue knew, the more he hoped that the plot would develop in the direction of the original book.

But what Su Liu wants is: to let all those who should not be standing in high positions return to where they should be standing.

Then they chatted about some interesting things about the new book. The communication between the two was more harmonious than before. Yuan Yue even drank a cup of flower tea at Su Liu's place.

He waited until Arnold came over and urged Yuanyue to go back before he politely said goodbye.

Su Liu stretched lazily for a rare moment.

He sat alone in the yard and watched the stars for a while, then he washed up and went to bed.

at night.

Qi Fengling came over to see him as usual.

"Is there any news?" Su Liu asked with his eyes closed.

"Under the circumstances, the king released Xun Ruozhang, and Liu Weizhen has taken her back to the City of Spark," Qi Fengling told Su Liu in detail what he had done in the past two days.

In order to rescue Xun Ruozhang, Su Liu deliberately asked Qi Fengling to release the news. The main idea revolved around three aspects: "Whoever watches the killing will be held accountable later", "mutual supervision and reporting will be rewarded", and "Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death on the road".

He actually hasn't used his trump card against the king yet, but Qi Fengling seems to have the same idea as him. There are only two methods.

One is that the king is not from the original bloodline and his accession to the throne is not legitimate.

Another possibility is that the king is a pervert who likes to look at the bodies of human Omegas and deliberately did this not to undermine the faith of the rebels, but to satisfy his own dirty desires.

"Are you not hurt?" Su Liu asked with concern.

"After feeling a little frightened, the king took her to 'visit' the dungeon and pointed to two skeletons, saying they were Liu Weizhen's parents," said Qi Fengling.

After saying that, he looked at Su Liu's expression and it froze for a moment.

"...like something a king would do," Su Liu said. "What else do you have in mind?"

"The size of the king's dungeon is wrong. It's very narrow inside, and two-thirds of the space is missing." Qi Fengling said.

"Isn't that similar to the underground palace in the baron's manor? There must be a hidden space there," Su Liu said. "Since we can't find them anywhere, it seems the king has imprisoned Ji He and Pan Xuesun there."

Qi Fengling hummed softly, and his hand holding Su Liu was a little hesitant.

"...You don't want to tell me that your parents are also imprisoned there?" Su Liu hugged Qi Fengling's neck, "but I'm afraid it's true."

Qi Fengling's eyes were slightly moist. "Su Liu, perhaps my mother can bring me back to this world. They... paid a great price."

So big that it is unimaginable.

The reason for all this was that he casually gave the system connecting the two worlds to Su Liu.

"No, you are not that kind of person. There must be other reasons. I always feel something is wrong," Su Liu comforted.

"They won't be trapped so easily unless they lose their power," Qi Fengling said, "My mother doesn't like to sit and wait for death."

Then he handed the test report given by Lin Miao to Su Liu.

After obtaining Pan Xuesun's blood, Lin Miao's research quickly made new progress.

——Serum cannot show kinship, but there is a clear difference between the serum of the ancestor and the serum of other pure-blooded vampires.

Pills made from the serum of second and third generation vampires are ineffective.

The pills given by the king had the same effect as the batch made with Qi Fengling's serum.

Moreover, the effects of different concentrations on vampires and humans are exactly the same as those in the control group.

This means that the serum in the pills given by the king is the blood of an ancestral vampire.

And the king... is not the original vampire.

"Lin Da said that the pills she made were made from the king's blood," Qi Fengling's eyes glowed red, "...or rather, from my father's blood."

What method did the king use... to change the blood.

"It's just like Ang Lee changing his bloodline..." Su Liu said.

It seems that the bloodline replacement technique invented by "Dawn of Tomorrow" is ultimately aimed at changing the king's bloodline.

Su Liu remembered the prompt given by the system: stop the protagonist from continuing to steal the bloodline of the gods.

He finally understood.

In the original book, the king was able to become the original vampire by using the technology of "Dawn of Tomorrow".

Su Liu had a flash of inspiration. He had always felt something was wrong before, and now this is what was going on.

The original book always emphasizes to the world, explicitly or implicitly, that the king is a pure ancestral blood clan. This is actually an "unreliable" narrative technique, and this technique is a trick played by the author. It is more common in literary works, but it is obviously not worth exploring in depth in fast-food online articles.

Therefore, some strange places attract few attention.

But after Su Liu came to this world, he discovered that the king might actually be a first-generation vampire, so everything could be explained.

"...He shouldn't have done that," Qi Fengling said. It was impossible for the king to drain his father's blood at once.

The king should have taken a more gentle approach.

For example, timed, quantitative, and intermittent blood draws.

Su Liu bit her lip in thought.

He went over his memory of the original book's plot again.

Since he changed the predetermined fate time and time again, many plots have deviated from the original book.

This moment in the original book should be the point where the prince disappeared.

It was after this, about three months later, in the week before the New Year, that the Kings' overall strength underwent a visible, earth-shaking change.

The original book calls the king: the strongest ancestor in the world.

If Qi Fengling was lured into captivity by the king in the original book, and then gave his bloodline to the king due to some unavoidable reasons, then...

"!" Su Liu was shocked.

Everything is a trap.

Xun Ruozhang's arrest, a warning about "naked execution," a day trip to the dungeon, Lin Da's pills, Lin Su's compromise, the king's deliberate reveal of his true colors, Nancheng's cultural and sports competition...

And Su Liu's suspicion at this moment.

Everything was a hunting net planned by the king.

What the king wanted was the divine bloodline of both father and son.

He wanted more than Su Liu had imagined.

In the extra chapter of the original book, after the "female protagonist" died, the immortal nirvana that supported the king's fake death and retreat into seclusion turned out to be like this...

Su Liu hugged Qi Fengling tightly, "Just turn into a little bat and stay by my side. The Nancheng Cultural and Sports Competition will be in a few days. Stay put for now. I have a plan. Trust me."
