Chapter 108 Do you have time now?
"Have you heard? A fantasy play written by a new screenwriter has caused a sensation. Even other immortal boats are organizing people to watch it and ask them to write a review after watching it!"
"Your information is too outdated. Let alone the Immortal Boat, the company is now directly promoting it throughout the universe. Even if you don't read it, everyone knows it."
"It has to be a newcomer. So many Star Gods are willing to write whatever they want. I'm afraid that the news of the screenwriter's death will come one day."
"Come to think of it, I remember the screenwriter's name seemed quite strange? It was called..."
"Teyvat." Shajin retracted his gaze and folded his hands on his knees. "Does this name have any meaning?"
Meaning... I looked into Shajin's eyes and chuckled, "It doesn't have any meaning, it's just some random words."
"Really?" Sha Jin responded without comment.
Of course not. After all, the script is based on my own experience, so there is no difficulty in simplifying and compressing it. The only thing that bothered me for a long time was the signature at the end.
I thought about taking one character from each of our four names, but it always felt a little strange to use real names at this time.
After thinking about it for more than ten minutes, I almost gave up and just called "four people".
However, in this case, the directionality is somewhat obvious. If we call them more vaguely as outsiders or something like that...it becomes even more obvious.
So, I finally chose the name Teyvat, just like remembering another world, to remind myself that there is my own world outside this world.
But there was no need to say this, so I concluded after answering Shajin’s question, “The name is not important. After all, it will not affect the company’s profits.”
"We have also invested a lot in publicity and promotion." Shajin leaned forward and crossed his hands on the table. "But I am more curious about another thing. Are you so desperate that you have to resort to this method?"
Being desperate... In fact, I don't think this is a helpless act because I have no other choice. After all, there is a saying: Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.
It is inevitable that individuals will have omissions, but with collective efforts, they can often make up for them in many aspects.
Perhaps Shajin saw my attitude and reminded me, "Some people believe in the Star Gods faithfully and follow their footsteps. They might assassinate you at any time."
I understood what he meant, shook my head and smiled, "I believe that as long as I am still in Luofu, I will be safe enough."
So, forget about recruiting me into the company.
"That's really a pity." Although he said so, there was no regret in his eyes. Instead, he had the same unspoken confidence as when he took my jade omen.
As I finally contacted the company to make the deal.
But there are many talented people in this world, so why does the company have to spend so much effort on me?
More importantly... "Is this what the company meant, or?"
Yu Zhao's voice interrupted our conversation. I looked at Sha Jin apologetically, and Sha Jin raised his hand and made a "please feel free" gesture.
The call came from "Dan Heng", which made me suddenly feel uneasy.
After all, everyone usually talks in the group, and only when a timely response is needed but no one replies will they initiate a call to ask.
This is already a serious situation.
I immediately answered the call and returned to the chat interface, and found that the messages were all content I had seen before.
......This is even worse.
"Dan Heng?" I asked in a low voice, fearing that he was in some emergency situation where he couldn't speak.
After a few seconds, "Dan Heng" responded, "Do you have time now?"
Yu Zhao, whose radio reception was excellent, could hear his muffled cough and the gasps he tried hard to suppress.
I immediately stood up and asked, "Where are you? I'll go find you."
"Linyuan Realm, Ancient Sea Palace Ruins." His voice was a little scattered, "I'll send you a location."
Scaled Abyss Realm... My heart was struck by this word. I closed my eyes and dispelled the figure imprisoned by layers of chains in my mind. I took a deep breath and clicked on the received location.
The red dot on the positioning did not move, but it flashed a few times and then suddenly disappeared.
"Dan Heng?" I asked again, but the call was also disconnected.
There are still no guards in the Scaled Abyss Realm. At a glance, there is only the majestic ancient sea separating the two sides, with the phantom of a dragon galloping in it.
It seems to be no different from before, however, the signal of Yu Zhao's disappearance is silently indicating that this place is not as safe as before.
Especially...when I set out according to the route I remembered, I met an elder monk halfway.
Moreover, it was the same Elder Xuepu who had performed experiments on me in my “dream”.
"General, you are usually busy with paperwork. I never thought that you would have time to visit Linyuan Realm today. You really have the leisure and elegance." Xue Pu complimented him in a gentle voice, but there was a sense of yin and yang in his words.
The team of guards behind her were staring at me with eager eyes. It was obvious that they were guards trained by Xue Pu himself.
The situation of "Dan Heng" is still unclear, and I don't want to stay here and play tricks with her.
But Xue Pu appeared here with a team of well-trained guards, and he was definitely not here for a walk.
——She most likely came for "Dan Heng".
Therefore, you cannot show the slightest bit of urgency.
"Elder Xue Pu, you are joking. No matter how hard I work, it is not heavier than your responsibility for the rise and fall of our clan." I laughed and fought back. I looked at the cluster of Chi Ming eggs in front of me with my hands behind my back, then turned around and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Elder Xue Pu followed me here this time because he could not help but capture me for experiments and turn me into the mother of your Chi Ming clan?"
The sharp vertical pupils suddenly shrank for a moment, and then returned to normal. "General, you are joking. Although my Chiming clan suffers from the inability to increase its population, we will never do such illegal things, not to mention that this is a serious crime that breaks the alliance. Therefore, please do not accuse me so casually without evidence."
At this time, Xue Pu seemed to be slightly relaxed. This is also normal. After all, although what I said was a question, the words "follow me" also silently expressed: What is your intention in monitoring me and chasing me?
Therefore, after analyzing this statement, Xue Pu will conclude that I do not know about the "Dan Heng" matter.
Of course, she wouldn't believe it so easily, so...
"Since the general is alone, leave two guards with him." Xue Pu waved his hand, and two people broke away and stood behind him. "This will also prevent the general from thinking that we are the ones who are plotting against him if something happens to him."
"Elder Xue Pu is very considerate." I glanced at the two men's expressions of being on high alert, shook my head and smiled, "If they fail to protect us well, Elder Xue Pu, please don't blame them."
"If the guards fail to protect the property, they should be punished." Xue Pu said coldly, his cold vertical pupils were like a threat, "After all, this is their duty."
However, even though Xue Pu said this, the guards beside her did not show any signs of abnormality except that they became more solemn.
Xue Pu smiled at me deliberately and said meaningfully, "General, don't worry. I raised these guards myself. Their loyalty is evident to all."
——There won’t be any possibility of being instigated by you.
"......That's great." I finally responded to her briefly.
Xue Pu showed a brief smile of victory, and walked past me with the remaining guards, heading in the direction of the Vajra Egg that I had just seen.
I turned around and looked at the two guards who were only half a step away from me and asked, "If the guards fail, what punishment will you receive in the end?"
Like dumb puppets, they stood firmly in their places without moving.
"Well, if you want to follow, then follow."
I walked in the opposite direction, followed closely by two guards.
When I reached the edge of a staircase, I stopped and said, "If I wasn't worried about the possibility of video recording, why would I waste so much time?"
The formation knife was grasped in his hand silently, "Severing the alliance... heh."
I stood at the place where the red dot disappeared and looked around. The empty space was only covered by the rubble near the edge of the cliff, but if I was not careful, I would fall straight into the ancient sea.
Xue Pu is still searching, so "Dan Heng" must have successfully hidden himself.
So, has he left?
Just as I was about to look around, I saw a wave under the dead tree. It was spinning inward like a whirlpool. It was the entrance to the Prison.
If he were in the prison, Chi Ming would naturally not dare to act recklessly.
Therefore, in order to avoid being hunted down by Chiming, "Danheng" most likely entered here.
I stepped into the waves, and after the breeze passed, the familiar chill hit me in the face.
Along with it arrived an attack that broke through the air.
Ding—the sword tip collided with the knife blade, and after failing to hit me, it quickly changed direction, with the intention of seriously injuring me and detaining me on the spot.
"Wait!" A familiar voice stopped the silent battle, "It's one of us!"
I turned my head and saw Yanqing using his coat to tie a knot on Danheng.
Then, the person I just fought with was... I first looked at Zhili, who was particularly recognizable in the dark, and then I saw Blade, who was dressed as a masked man, took off his mask. "I thought they were chasing me."
"...I thought this was a trap." I put away the weapons in my hands and walked quickly towards "Dan Heng". "What happened?"
In fact, I would like to ask: Why are the three of you here, and what are you investigating?
But considering the current situation of "Dan Heng", it is better to first find out the reason, identify the enemy, and then find a way to get out of here and take them to Dan Dingsi for an examination.
Dan Heng moved his right arm that was hung in front of him. The slightest movement caused piercing pain. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead. Finally, he exhaled and whispered, "Actually, we didn't plan to ask you to come over."
As he spoke, a dark patch of color seeped out from under his clothes on his abdomen, but he used his arms to cover it up and added, "After all, you don't sound concerned about what we're investigating."
I held his hand and felt his injury along the bloodstains. "This is not the reason why you are like this and still ask me if I have time."
Dan Heng laughed, his green eyes particularly bright in the dim prison, "What can I do? After all, I can't even invite you out for dinner these two days."
Are you still in the mood to joke at this time? I glared at him fiercely and said, "Eat it when you get back!"
