Chapter 102 The Life of a Centenarian Assassin (8)



The audience watched with a mix of tears and outrage. But what they really cared about was where the protagonist, now without his companions, would go.

The audience watched as the protagonist used a bow and arrow to kill the man who murdered his aunt, poisoned a group of enemy soldiers, and blew up a bandit hiding in the mountains who wanted to take advantage of the chaos. The protagonist then met his comrades in the group.

They said that only when the war ended could everyone live in peace.

The male protagonist unconsciously thought of the old man, the martial arts champion, his aunt, the poison master, the bomb boy, and the monk.

Perhaps the days they described were days without war. The protagonist didn't know, so he returned to the courtyard, thinking that if this was what they wanted, he would tell them.

The next day, the protagonist joined the army and began assassinating enemy leaders and soldiers.

Using the skills and methods he had learned from others, he killed important enemy officers, and together with the troops' offensive, they finally drove the enemy out.

However, he also faced betrayal from his allies. In the ensuing struggle, the protagonist killed many people. He felt that he could not see where the end of the war was. He was like a killing machine, aiming and shooting.

It wasn't until he saw the farm girl singing a song and disappearing with the Allied soldiers in the smoke and fire of bombs that he seemed to understand the meaning of life.

He understood why, even though the dynasty had fallen, the old man stubbornly insisted on the Empress Dowager's final decree. He suddenly understood why the old man had said he would be a martial arts prodigy; during the time without everyone, he had not only learned each person's signature skills but had even surpassed them.

He could easily shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, kill without a trace, or create a spectacular explosion. Perhaps he was born for this chaotic world, a world where the people could not survive, and that was the meaning of his birth. He wanted there to be no more killing on this land.

This is the meaning of his birth into this world.

As the audience watched the protagonist escape death time and time again and carry out missions one after another, his body grew thinner and thinner, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Until that song that everyone knew rang out in the square on that day, in front of the whole world.

The audience then realized, in a daze, that the protagonist was no longer a little boy, but an old man with white hair. He returned to the courtyard, dug something up, and waited for the next destined person.

Until the very end, just before he passed away, he met a young man surnamed Bai. The young man told him that he had come from a family of doctors, but in order to escape, he burned down his house, and an uncle of his also disappeared. He also lost a copy of the "Bai Family Medical Classic".

The final scene of the TV series freezes on the male lead's peacefully closed eyes, and with his eyes closed, the series ends.

[Waaaaah~ The Poison Master family isn't dead yet! The Poison Master thought he was the only one left in his family, so he went without hesitation. If the Poison Master had survived, would he have had a chance to reunite with his family? Waaaaah~ Director Lin, you're too cruel; the knife you used inflicted even has a second wound.]

Who would have thought that this kind-looking, thin old man was actually an assassin? Even these younger generations probably wouldn't believe it in the end. After all, who could believe that this person had such a legendary and turbulent life?

The old man kept saying the protagonist had excellent aptitude, a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a century. Perhaps fate brought him and countless other capable individuals into this world to end the chaos. No, the more I think about it, the more my eyes sting.

Everyone says that heroes emerge in times of chaos, but that should be reversed. These heroes are born precisely to end chaos. Otherwise, who would willingly choose to be born into a ruthless, cannibalistic world? Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos. Our wonderful life today is the result of countless heroic sacrifices.

[The male protagonist's life seemed long, but it only lasted a hundred episodes. When I saw him close his eyes, I couldn't help but shed tears. Of these six people, finally one of them could see the end of this chaotic world.]

[The thought of them reuniting down there, with only the protagonist and the old man looking old while everyone else looks young, makes me unable to hold back my tears. It's even worse than "Waves"—they don't even have a single photograph. Besides their belongings, they left nothing behind; they didn't even know the monk's and the bomb-wielding boy's names until their deaths, nor did they know their nameless aunt who had been sold from birth.]

[It's impossible to think about it too much. Do you even know what the old man's name was? These people were like a gust of wind, gone with that era, leaving no trace. The protagonist died, and the last person who remembered them was gone too.]

【Lin Gou?! As expected of you! Can't you really let the kids watch something sweet? (Humble)】

Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that this drama would have a greater impact than other dramas. The super long storyline of 100 episodes allowed the audience to deeply empathize with the protagonist, so when he died in the end, they all shed tears and felt sad.

Not to mention the audience, even she felt her heart pounding just watching it. She quickly watched the first few episodes of the melodramatic series "Love Under the Moonlight" that Penglai TV was broadcasting in the morning and afternoon to calm herself down.

Lin Xiaoxiao was glad that she spent most of her time on set during the male lead's apprenticeship period, otherwise she would have cried on set first.

However, instead of worrying about the impact of "A Century of Silence" on the audience, she was busy recording a guest appearance on an episode of "The Road to Directing".

As required by the production team, she needed to select actors and then shoot a 15-minute segment. It seemed like one episode, but the production team could edit it into three episodes.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the big-name directors on the same stage, but she didn't really think about it. After all, she hadn't studied the film and television background of this world and was learning everything on the spot. However, one of them was someone she knew.

"Xi Xi has a quick temper, please bear with her, Mr. Lin."

As Lin Xiaoxiao shook hands with a smile, she wondered who Xixi was. It wasn't until the production team introduced her as Director Zhang, a well-known figure in the industry, that she realized he was Zhang Erdai's father. No wonder he looked familiar.

Lin Xiaoxiao had almost forgotten Zhang Erdai's real name, Zhang Tianxi, because everyone kept calling him "Zhang Erdai." After all, "Zhang Erdai" was easier to pronounce, and that's what everyone in the industry called him.

When Zhang Tianxi was little, she went to visit her father's film set. Someone jokingly said that she would take over her father's job someday, hence the nickname "Second Generation." The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Young Zhang Tianxi took it to heart, acting like a little adult on set, mimicking her father by putting her hands behind her back, frowning, and watching everyone else.

People jokingly called her "second generation," and she would proudly puff out her chest when she heard it. This nickname has gradually stuck.

Zhang Erdai and Zhang Fan were on vacation after finishing "A Hundred Years of Silence," so Lin Xiaoxiao brought He Yue and Wang Li with her this time.

It has to be said that sitting in front of the camera is a bit different from being behind the camera. Lin Xiaoxiao felt that it was pretty much the same, after all, they don't have the same sensitivity to the camera as actors and idols.

Fortunately, Director Zhang took good care of her on the show and privately told her some tips for recording the show, as well as speaking techniques to avoid being unfairly edited.

Lin Xiaoxiao then realized that recording a TV show was really not easy; at least she had to keep her mouth shut.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was originally prepared to keep a low profile, still exploded not long after the show started recording.
