didn't give Zhou Xueqiu a chance to dwell on his ridicule, Zhuo Xuan then asked: "The image of the 'beast' I just saw is more human, so I think the hint given by the watch will certainly not be so simple. ”

"Okay, then I'll have to overturn everything and reason again." Zhou Xueqiu sighed, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his reasoning.

In the process of carrying out tasks in the past, Zhou Xueqiu has always played a role of hiding his identity. He is like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, sneaking up on others and devouring watches in order to get a chance to survive.

Of course, he knows better than others that the abilities he gains from other people's watches are often unpredictable and prone to mutation.

Zhou Xueqiu is willing to cooperate with Zhuo Xuan, not only because they now know each other's identities in reality, but also because he takes a fancy to Zhuo Xuan's flexible mind.

"I still have one more question," Zhuo Xuan pondered for a moment, "why did you receive the task of the watch release and I didn't?" ”

Zhou Xueqiu knew that Zhuo Xuan was a pure newcomer in addition to his flexible brain, so he was not in a hurry to ridicule, but explained: "It's because I didn't popularize science to you before." There are many types of quests, and the last time you participated in a large group quest, such a quest was randomly selected from the Chosen One to participate in, and you can't refuse it. ”

"In addition to large group missions, there are also individual missions, which are usually to contain the beasts around you. Usually after it is released to one Chosen One, it will not be sent to a second person, of course, if the first person who performs the task dies and the task is not completed, then a second Chosen One will receive the task. ”

"Is there a case where the first Chosen One is on a mission, and another unwitting Chosen One finds the target, and then the beast is taken away by the latter?" Zhuo Xuan quickly grasped the key.

The corners of Zhou Xueqiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "This is the battle of the Chosen One." Remember when I told you that the watch was connected to the nerve center and injected with a virus? ”

"You mean?" Zhuo Xuan was a little stunned.

"That's right, if you don't participate in the mission twice in a row, the dilution will bottom out. If he doesn't participate in another mission, he will die of a toxin explosion," Zhou Xueqiu continued, unfazed, "If the target he wants to contain is snatched away, he will be judged a failure and forcibly deduct the dilution once." ”

"Of course, containment beasts can get dilution potions, and so can they devour other people's watches."

Zhou Xueqiu's face had a somewhat mysterious and treacherous smile.

"This ......" Zhuo Xuan's heart was slightly shocked, he was not a stupid person. From Zhou Xueqiu's few words, he can already sketch a world of absolutely cruel struggle for the Chosen One.

Sure enough, where there are people, there will be wars.

Regardless of whether this war is a real gun, or intrigues, sneak attacks and plots.

"Speaking of which, do you think that mirror looks a little strange?" Zhuo Xuan was silent for a while, looked around for a while, and then brought up the topic again.

Zhou Xueqiu looked at the European-style floor-to-ceiling mirror and was attracted by the exquisite patterns carved around it, but when he connected it with the surrounding environment, he did feel a sense of incompatibility, so he said in a daze: "Placed here, there is always a feeling of disobedience." ”

"yes, it's probably something like a stage prop." Zhuo Xuan's voice fell, as if he remembered something: "Ah, the president is gone!" Didn't we come to ask for a script? ”

Zhou Xueqiu and Zhuo Xuan glanced at each other, their faces were slightly red, and he also forgot about it.

Regardless of whether the script is a beast or not, finding it is beneficial for both people to complete the task. After all, the "drama" most directly related to the watch prompt is the script of the so-called "The Tragedy of the Hanged King".

The two hurriedly left the lounge and returned to the stage the way they came. From a distance, the two found that there was no one in the audience, after all, there was a problem with the rehearsal of the play, and no audience wanted to stay and watch a meaningless quarrel.

Just as Zhuo Xuan and Zhou Xueqiu were about to approach the stage, a super-large decibel quarrel came into the ears of the two.

On the stage, the student minister who had just left stood aside with a frightened expression, his eyes rolling back and forth between Lin Xinyu and the other boy, as if he didn't know what to respond to.

"I really don't remember! I really don't remember telling you about the scene in "The Tragedy of the Hanged King," the student minister only felt that his justification was so weak, after all, everyone but him was admitting such a fact.

It was he who came up with the script of "The Tragedy of the Hanged King" and arranged their respective roles.

Two very different testimonies, very different reasoning.

Today was the second time he had been forced to talk about the strange story of "The Hanged King's Tragedy", which made him suspect the existence of some mysterious power.

If he hadn't been asked, no matter what, he wouldn't have been willing to recall the strange story that was only passed down among the ministers of the big art troupe.

"Xiao Li!" Zhou Xueqiu walked out of the backstage and greeted him. Zhuo Xuan didn't say a word and followed closely behind him.

The student minister, who was called Xiao Li, turned his head to look, his body stiffened at first, and then his face became even more nervous.

Am I that terrible?

Zhou Xueqiu sneered, and there was still a kind smile on his face: "Xiao Li, you just said that you don't have a script?" ”

"I really don't!" Xiao Li shook his head in a panic, as if he was afraid that Zhou Xueqiu would not believe it, and continued to add: "What I originally arranged was "Hamlet", this kind of thing that disappeared ten years ago, how could I have it!" ”

"President, don't be kidding!"

The boy behind Lin Xinyu spoke, his face was equally heavy and serious.

The student actors on stage also stopped what they were doing, and they gathered together, with varying degrees of seriousness on their faces, obviously feeling strange about this strange thing.

"In any case, the rehearsal of the play will be suspended first." Zhuo Xuan poked Zhou Xueqiu and gave his own advice, "I think if the performance continues, there will definitely be problems." ”

Zhou Xueqiu was a little hesitant.

He knew that Zhuo Xuan's words were not wrong.

However, he also felt that he was a very selfish person. A very selfish person should do selfish things, and if he were to track down the traces of the beast alone, he would prefer to help the play go on, so that the beast would definitely show up before the curtain ended.

Beasts feed on humans, and the Chosen One aims to contain beasts for survival.

To face the beast head-on, this is Zhou Xueqiu's choice.

Of course, this will also bring some drawbacks, such as the fact that these actors on stage are likely to be in danger, or even die.
