Chapter 122
"The Game is Online"
The character played by Bian Yuanzhou is called Kong Jingrui. He is a very powerful player in the doomsday game and ranks second only to Shi Zhen in the combat power rankings.
At the beginning, Kong Jingrui and Shi Zhen were not enemies, and they had fought side by side several times.
In the early stage of the Doomsday Game, the drop rate of the pass card was particularly high. Many players were eager to leave the dungeon after getting the card. Kong Jingrui was one of the few players willing to stay and kill monsters. Therefore, Shi Zhen had a very good impression of him.
But this state of players scrambling to escape did not last long. As the difficulty of the dungeon increased, the combat effectiveness of Shi Zhen and others had a significant advantage over them, and most people came to their senses and realized that this way of saving lives was only temporary.
If you don't kill monsters and open treasure chests in the dungeon, you won't gain experience points and powerful items, and your character won't level up. If this continues, the speed at which players' combat effectiveness improves will inevitably not keep up with the speed at which the difficulty of the dungeon increases.
As long as you enter the dungeon, you will die. But no one can refuse this kind of thing.
After realizing this, players are willing to stay in the dungeon and kill more monsters. At this time, Shi Zhen and Kong Jingrui had a disagreement.
Shi Zhen believed that one more player would mean more strength, and if more dungeon monsters were eliminated, fewer residents of S City in reality would die; but Kong Jingrui did not want too many people to stay, as he believed that these people were not helpers but competitors for dungeon resources.
Kong Jingrui, who is determined to maintain his leading edge in combat power, will quietly kill someone who competes with him for a treasure chest, and disguise the scene to make it look like a monster is killing a player.
The dungeons in the doomsday game are very difficult. It is already difficult for players to kill monsters and survive. No one has the energy to act as a detective to distinguish the truth from the false. Kong Jingrui hid several copies in this way, until he was witnessed by Tong Huan from Shi Zhen's team when he was killing someone again, and then he fell out with the protagonists.
At this time, the internal testing of the Doomsday game had reached the late stage. Kong Jingrui, who couldn't pretend anymore, simply stopped. He slaughtered players in the dungeon, preventing Shi Zhen and others from killing monsters that he had bound card items to. He also tried to promote the public beta of the doomsday game and let monsters from another dimension descend upon the world.
Of course his action was unsuccessful - otherwise, Shi Zhen would not have put the sword on his neck.
"You scum."
In a rage, Ling Suisui emphasized every word when he scolded him. These five words were like five heavy hammers, weighing down the hearts of the onlookers.
There was no need for hysteria; everyone present could feel from her brief words how much anger was about to erupt.
At the scene, Bian Yuanzhou snorted disdainfully. There was no fear of impending death in his eyes, only complete hatred and madness.
He raised his head and looked directly at the camera: "You are noble, you are amazing, you Shi Zhen is the most powerful savior, are you satisfied?"
"You want to kill me, right? Come on, come on! Do you think you can stop the public beta of the Doomsday game? Even if you and your teammates die here, you can't stop the monsters from pouring out. I wonder how long you can keep your title of savior!"
Ling Sui's hands holding the sword trembled slightly, her eyes wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but the sword blade was restrained and did not move forward even an inch.
She shouted back without showing any weakness: "I can't save people, so you can hurt them? You are a lackey of the Doomsday Game and a traitor to mankind!"
The emotions of both of them were pushed to a climax. Ying Nian completely forgot about his subtle feelings towards Bian Yuanzhou outside the play. At this moment, he was only immersed in the confrontation between the two characters and could hardly take his eyes off them.
Bian Yuanzhou sneered at first, then his emotions became more intense.
"Yes, I am. So what? I don't care whether humans live or die!"
His limbs could not move, but the veins on his neck were all bulging. He said grimly:
"What do you know? Do you know how I have lived these years? You are so kind and righteous. My father was killed at a construction site and didn't get any compensation. My mother got seriously ill and had no money to pay for medical expenses. Why didn't you show up when I was surrounded and beaten at school? Aren't you a savior?"
"Shouldn't the black-hearted contractor who caused the construction accident be hacked into pieces? Shouldn't the person who kicked my head like a ball go to hell? Haha, I used a binding card, and now you come out to be a good person and kill monsters. Do you think your justice is worthy of your conscience?"
Bian Yuanzhou's emotions had reached their peak, and while Ying Nian was silently cheering for him, he was also worried about Ling Suisui.
In this kind of confrontation scene, the audience will naturally tend to favor the side with more emotions and more lines, not to mention that Kong Jingrui is not a stereotyped villain.
Ying Nian had read the original novel, and Shi Zhen's next reaction was not to fight back.
In this situation, Ling Suisui is actually at a disadvantage. If she failed to catch any point, she would easily be overshadowed by Bian Yuanzhou.
He held his breath and looked at the scene. Ling Sui's expression was calm and his eyes were clear.
"I just try my best to save everyone," she said. "They may deserve to die, but they should die at the hands of the law, not your personal will. I have never been a savior, and no one can be a savior. I just want to have a clear conscience."
Shi Zhen has killed many monsters and saved many people. There were people who were kind to her, and there were also people who insulted and abused her.
It is this phrase “a clear conscience” that supports Ling Suisui’s performance.
Her hesitation, her struggle, her confusion, her regret...it is this "clear conscience" that runs through the main storyline of the character of Shi Zhen.
That's why she could stand in front of Kong Jingrui with confidence. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, she remains unmoved, standing tall like a pine tree.
Ling Suisui used her sense of conviction to support Shi Zhen's aura. Her calm words were even able to shift the pressure to Bian Yuanzhou.
If it wasn’t for the filming, Ying Nian would have wanted to applaud her.
It has to be Sui Sui. No matter how difficult the situation is, she will never let people down!
Ying Nian wanted to see the expressions of the people around him, to see if they were as surprised as he was, but the result was - everyone was quite calm.
Um? How come he is the only one who is stunning?
As if seeing his confusion, Xia Tian explained in a low voice: "This should be normal for Sui Sui, don't make a fuss."
Year:? ? ?
Ah, during the time he was in seclusion, the version was upgraded so quickly!
He looked at the scene again. Bian Yuanzhou was indeed the actor specially invited by Ling Suisui. His acting skills were not exaggerated. In addition, he and Ling Suisui had a tacit understanding after working together for two years, so it was easy for him to follow her rhythm.
"Humph, you have a clear conscience, but what did I do wrong to bring about the misfortune of my entire family? Ah? Speak now!"
When he said this, his expression was a bit crazy: "Why can't it be openly tested? I want the doomsday game to come to every corner of the world! Why is it that some people are born with no worries about food and clothing, and have a smooth life, but I don't have such a good life? Why?!"
"Since God is unfair, then no one should live! Just kill me and avenge them! Come on!"
His eyes were fixed on Ling Suisui's face, and his peripheral vision also glanced at the sharp blade.
At this moment, if she wanted to kill him, she only had to cut his neck. Nothing could be easier than this.
The crazier Bian Yuanzhou's performance was, the calmer Ling Sui's expression had to be. If there are new actors here, they will learn that there is a difference between "calmness" and "expressionless".
Her eyes showed that she was thinking, and the direction of her eye movements was a hint to the audience - she had seen through Kong Jingrui's thoughts.
"You are irritating me," she said. "You are so eager to die. Why? Death is not the destination you want. You obviously have a bigger plan."
"I know that you don't want to drag everyone to death. You just want to use the level and combat power advantages of the beta test account to become the overlord in the world after the public beta test."
After hearing these words, Bian Yuanzhou's pupils dilated instantly, then quickly recovered. The emotional changes at this moment were recorded faithfully by the camera, and Kong Jingrui's physiological reaction also did not escape Shi Zhen's eyes.
She thought it over and withdrew the sword without hesitation.
"I won't kill you," she said.
Bian Yuanzhou couldn't help but look despair, this was the content that hadn't been filmed yet.
Kong Jingrui made a deal with the "Lord God" of the game. When he was killed by Shi Zhen, he would use his blood as a medium to dedicate her soul and body to the "Lord God" and obtain super rare props that could dominate the doomsday game.
If he fails to do so within the specified time limit, he himself will become the sacrifice.
He fell to the ground and rolled around in pain. If it was the version the audience saw, there would be black smoke coming out of Bian Yuanzhou's body due to special effects.
His eyes were unfocused and he seemed to want to say something, but he was unable to do so.
Ling Suisui looked at him and said, "You probably want to ask, why don't I kill you?"
She stood and he lay on the ground. She lowered her head and he raised his head, waiting for an answer.
This eye contact lasted only three seconds, but the eye contact between the two actors made people feel like they were watching a thrilling movie.
Ling Suisui replied: "I have said that no one's personal will can decide the life or death of others, including myself."
"Only when I have a clear conscience can I truly leave the Doomsday Game and return to reality."
She turned and left without even looking at him again.
The director called for cut, and starting with him, the audience burst into prolonged applause.
Ling Suisui returned to the set, and the assistant quickly helped Bian Yuanzhou up from the ground, but had not yet untied the prop ropes on him.
"The two teachers are amazing." The director said sincerely, "Such a long line, such intense emotions, there is almost nothing wrong, but there are a few details that I didn't pay attention to during the filming. I will have to change the camera position to reshoot later."
Ling Suisui and Bian Yuanzhou both said that there was no problem. They had just wanted to kill each other's two people, but now they shook hands and wanted to smile when they looked into each other's eyes.
To be honest, considering their experience in filming "Freedom House", the script just now was not long at all. However, the actual performance was better than expected.
"Thank you, Mr. Bian." Ling Suisui said politely, "Your arrival has brought honor to our crew."
"I don't deserve it, it's all because of Teacher Ling's guidance."
Bian Yuanzhou and her exchanged some business flattery, and then said something from the heart: "I haven't had such a great performance in a long time. It's very comfortable to act with you."
Ling Suisui nodded, she felt the same way.
Seeing them chatting happily over there, without even paying any attention to this side, and thinking about how well they cooperated just now, Yingnian felt a little jealous.
He asked Xia Tian gloomily, "Is Sui Sui filming with him today?"
"That's not the case." Xia Tian took out the notice, "This afternoon I'm with Jiang Yu, also known as Er Hongwen."
Ying Nian felt a little better, and before he could rack his brains to think of a reason to stay, Xia Tian looked at him with eyes that showed he was waiting for a good show.
"I advise you not to watch it." She said slowly, "They are filming a kissing scene this afternoon."
