Chapter 118
Ursula acted very efficiently and told Xia Zuo about it quickly.
Considering that she was very comfortable in the dark environment, while the suppressed Xia Zuo might not feel so good, she took great pains to get a small light bulb that could be powered by her talent.
As for whether it will be discovered?
Even if they discovered it, the guards would probably turn a blind eye. After all, they all knew that Xia Zuo and he were not real prisoners, and were about to leave the prison at the behest of the warden. They could neither punish them nor detain them.
So, just taking a small light bulb for personal use is nothing compared to the danger they bring to the prison, so there is no need to worry about it at all.
After Ursula used her tentacles to hold up the light bulb and repeated the words "you turned a deaf ear to my words", Xia Zuo was still a little depressed.
...He had been very careful not to break his promise, but he hadn't expected Zero's judgment method to be so tricky. Even just mentioning Zero's existence and their conversation to Ursula didn't work.
But now that things had come to this, he could only complete the remaining information exchange with Ursula.
When Xia Zuo heard from Ursula that the high priest's intense emotions were part of the warden's transformation, even though he was mentally prepared, the brown-haired boy couldn't help but tear up. He gritted his teeth and confirmed, "...So, that's why Caesar died again and again?"
Ursula knew Xia Zuo and instantly realized that he was thinking in the wrong direction and selectively ignored her other statements. So, she used her tentacles, which looked soft but were actually extremely sharp, to write words on the ground with an expressionless face.
——Her true self was still staying in the cell obediently.
Then she picked up the small light bulb and shook it, allowing Xia Zuo to see the words in the dark.
"Look carefully, this is just one of the conditions."
“It’s not your fault,” she wrote.
Xia Zuo's eyes welled up with tears. The more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt: "How sad must Xi Ze be? Not only does he have to die, but he has to die in front of us. He has to watch everything he has slowly dissipate..."
Ursula: “…”
Are you reading what I'm writing?
But it's good to let this guy vent, right?
He was already suppressing himself quite a bit, Ursula thought.
She hadn't seen that straightforward and natural boy for a long time.
Then the tentacle raised up and patted the boy's head stiffly and unskillfully.
The brown-haired boy was stunned. "...Ursula. If it were you before, you would just write one word on the ground."
Ursula: “?”
Xia Zuo: "You would write: 'You useless person, don't cry.'"
Ursula: “…”
——This is absolutely slander! Slander!!
After some friendly communication, Xia Zuo and Ursula successfully reached a consensus.
Xia Zuo and Ursula, who were in charge of positioning, agreed that it would be more appropriate to wait until necessary before starting to sense the warden's location.
So, just conserve your energy and wait quietly.
So time passed by minute by minute, until the day before Xia Zuo was allowed to leave the cell, the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious.
He lowered his head and just sensed the familiar dark talent appearing underground. The small light bulb lit up, and then he met eyes with a group of dark golden vertical pupils.
Xia Zuo and Ursula looked at each other in silence: "..."
The brown-haired boy said gravely, "You also feel something is wrong, Ursula."
The tentacles swayed silently and blinked.
How should I put it? This feeling is like a strange premonition that appears before being cheated again after being cheated countless times.
The two looked at each other, and Xia Zuo decisively focused his mind and started to sense the other priesthood.
…
Xia Zuo: "..."
Eastwood Prison for the Insane, none of that.
His brows jumped, and he expanded his sensing range again, and finally sensed the presence of the warden in the area between the Northern Wilderness Ice Territory and Eastwood.
So, Caesar isn't leaving tomorrow at all! He's almost reached the Northern Wasteland Ice Realm! At their speed, if they really set out tomorrow, Caesar would probably already be completely in the Ice Realm!
This familiar feeling of being pitted——
Xia Zuo suddenly remembered Zero's formulaic smile, which occasionally showed some unclear emotions in his blue-green eyes.
...No matter who he is, we will settle everything after everything is over!
"Ursula, get ready," the brown-haired boy said solemnly, "I'm afraid we'll have to force our way through Eastwood."

"You're still taking your time..." The Comic Will couldn't understand what his contract partner was thinking. "You left early because you were afraid they'd catch up, weren't you?"
“I think they’ll find out about this.”
At this moment, César Crest had surprisingly returned to his original body. And that mechanical body, having lost his will's control, no longer looked like him in the slightest.
The black-haired young man slowly rewrapped his plush scarf around himself and said, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. They'll be here by nightfall at the latest."
Manga Will's emotions were so complicated that he didn't even know what to say. In the end, he could only squeeze out a few words: "...You two really do understand each other."
Xizel smiled slightly and said, "You're too kind."
Comic Will: "..."
It changed the subject: "The comics have been updated again, don't you want to check it out?"
"It's no longer necessary."
Cesar said calmly.
The comics are a bit clunky.
...Indeed, I don’t know how long ago it started, but the direction of the entire comic’s plot has been completely controlled by him.
Especially when it came to the final part, everything was already a foregone conclusion in his mind. He naturally didn't need to take any extra actions, nor did he need to conduct any so-called observations.
But the comic will did not know what César, the mastermind behind the scenes, knew, so it could not suppress its curiosity and tried to link the written comic parts on its own and connected to the real-world comic platform.
Just like the final exams are getting closer and closer, and now that it's so close, people are no longer panicking. Anyway, no matter how much power it expends, it can't reverse the current decline of the world. The comics will simply give up, take back its power, and start concentrating on leisurely watching melons with the humans in the real world.
But soon, the speculations in the barrage made him shudder with fear.
The latest episode of "Absolute Talent" has been updated. The scene starts in Xia Zuo's prison cell. The brown-haired boy is hanging his head in the darkness, but suddenly feels the darkness fade away and the light source appears.
Then, a close-up of the stranger's feet appeared in the cartoon, showing that he had just arrived here, and judging by the way his toes lightly touched the ground, it was obvious that he had fallen silently.
The jet-black hair seemed to have shaken a little because of the recent arrival.
Then the boy raised his head.
Soft black medium-short hair, big blue-green eyes that look like cat pupils when opened, a face so exquisite that it seems as if it was carved with all the effort, and the perfect curve engraved on the lips like a mask.
He was so beautiful that it seemed like an illusion.
[…Xia Bao is hallucinating? ]
[This face...why does it look so much like Ze Shen (dumbfounded)]
[Ah, this can't be true, even if Xia Zuo was hallucinating, he should have seen the adult form of Xi Ze, right? ]
[This face value… I immediately fell to my knees, sob ...
[This comic is absolutely amazing. It's about to release my XP for black hair and blue eyes.]
[Could it be a new character... a new, handsome character appearing in the later stages? Conjecture.jpg]
The comic will secretly wiped a cold sweat
...He had forgotten that these human comic readers were very perceptive and had ample experience in reading comics.
And the performance of "Zero" is likely to make them think too much.
"While it can certainly be classified as a 'thing,' it's certainly rude to say so, Mr. Freeman."
The black-haired boy seemed a little unhappy, with an expression as if he was drawing out his voice to emphasize something. Coupled with his previous action of "I'm not a human at all", which was obviously intentional, the comic readers who were attracted by this kind of character had a crazy increase in their favorability towards him.
[Why is this character only released in the later stages? Why! Why!?]
"I'm saying this, everyone. I don't dare to randomly like characters anymore. Every character I like is Caesar, and now I think this kid also looks like Caesar for some reason... Damn it."
[To be honest, he does look a lot like her.]
[No, I feel like Ze Shen is more gentle and reserved? Uh, or perhaps, he's more subtle in his mischievousness?]
【I am Zetui, I agree with it.】
Comics will heart pounding.
It’s not even the end yet, but these people already look so familiar. As for the later part... I don’t think the comic will miss those close-ups.
It went back decisively.
——As expected.
When saying certain things, the tone seems so relaxed, but the boy who appears in the comics has a complex look in his eyes that cannot be distinguished carefully.
He looked at the brown-haired boy in deep thought, and also at the black-haired girl looking out. Then, the moment they raised their heads or turned their heads, he adjusted his expressions very naturally, without being noticed by anyone.
His smile, his words, are all just tools he uses to attract other people's attention.
Just like countless times before.
When close friends meet, they cannot recognize each other.
Ursula and Xia Zuo only vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But the comic readers who were standing at the God's perspective only felt that a lot of big knives were rushing towards their faces.
[Zero's information was already explosive enough...but...Nishizawa, is that you? Nishizawa, wow!]
[I really burst into tears. Why is it so difficult for you? Wuwuwu]
[Just now I thought he was funny and cute, but now I can't feel happy at all when I see him laughing and even persecuting the protagonists]
In fact, I always feel that given Xi Ze's personality and the current complex and contradictory situation, he wouldn't just come here to deliver information...wouldn't he also dig a harmless little trap for the two little ones?
