Chapter 164 People Watching the Scenery Are Watching You Upstairs

Alice's love for fairy tales also comes from the bottom of her heart.

When she was a child, she read a book called "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and was extremely happy.

The servant was asked to bring her all the other works of the author of this book.

So she received a dozen books on mathematics overnight - the author of this fairy tale book was a mathematician.

And Alice is a learning idiot!

When she saw those profound and complicated mathematical formulas, her pupils experienced a huge earthquake!

For the first time, the princess felt the strong malice from the world.

If one day she becomes a great treasure, she must abolish these cold subjects and replace them with simple, easy-to-understand, beautiful and innocent fairy tales.

Imagination is beautiful, reality is very skinny.

Although the British royal family experienced the changes of industrialization, it still held real power.

But the chances of her taking the throne are slim.

If Alice were allowed to enter school, her grades would be at the bottom of the class, and she would compete with the second-to-last for the first-to-last position all year round.

Her noble background meant that she didn't have to master boring knowledge, which was the greatest luck.

She is actually quite rational, she just yearns for the world of fairy tales, often fantasizes about those beautiful scenes, and always retains her vision of fairy tales.

It wasn't until she became a sequence player that this persistence and love finally formed the talent of [Fantasy].

Everything she believes in will come true to some extent.

Because she loves fairy tales.

This sentence can be summarized as fairy tales come true.

This is why the playwright believes that Alice has an extremely good "writer" talent.

However, the two people have huge differences in their concepts.

The playwright was particularly dissatisfied with the fairy tales Alice wrote and became increasingly harsh on her.

As a level 10 player, Alice has basic resistance capabilities.

But her problem is that all the magic she has mastered has been sealed by the playwright.

The playwright uses the [anchoring pen] to write declarative sentences such as Alice cannot use magic or sleep.

The playwright has limited abilities. Although he cannot control Alice's thoughts, he can influence her behavior through extraordinary effects.

If Alice is in the state of descending body, then she can be forced to [log out].

But what's worse is that she also changed from her descended body to her real body.

[Login] requires entering a sleep-like environment and state.

This restriction inadvertently prevents her from coming to the "real world".

This made Alice very sad.

Before entering the maze, he fell into the hands of the Witch of the Wilderness, and after entering the maze, he fell into the hands of the troupe.

Didn't she come here in vain?

Moreover, despite being a Sleeping Beauty in the real world for more than half a month, now even her real body has disappeared.

What kind of ripples will it cause in the outside world?

Will the British royal family start World War III because of her?

Alice thought about it carefully and felt a little excited.

…

When Bai Lan and Alice were talking.

Applause and cheers suddenly erupted outside, and the warm applause lasted for a long time.

The fourth act of the play is coming to an end.

The dwarves were winding up and the troupe members were finishing their work.

Those people will soon be back behind the scenes.

"The situation is urgent now, let's kill the playwright quickly!"

Alice is gearing up.

She didn't waste her time in the troupe. At least she had figured out the basic abilities of the troupe members.

The most noteworthy enemy among them is the playwright.

"Writer" is an advanced path with a total of four ability characteristics.

[Observation: Your powers of observation and insight have greatly improved, you can accurately see through various disguises, and grasp certain clues]

[Character: The more you know about the nature of certain things, the easier it is for the other person to be controlled by you and become a character in your writing]

[Writing: You can create all kinds of coincidences in destiny, and all coincidences happen naturally]

[Script: The characters in your story will act according to your script to a certain extent]

Both Calcifer and Black Swan reminded Bai Lan.

Only God's way is complete.

Regardless of whether it is a high, medium or low path, the essence is incomplete.

It is not difficult for the gods to split a higher path from their own path.

The god of dreams and prophecies is a relatively powerful god who holds a lot of authority.

This can be seen in His split "writer" path.

If He wanted to, this higher path could also spread to the world.

But since his death, the path of "writer" has also disappeared.

Even if there is a path similar to "writer", it is extremely incomplete.

The true "writer" is a high-level path, but even if it can be derived, it is only a low-level path at best.

It is conceivable that there must be a large number of advanced paths in history, but they have all disappeared in the long river of time.

So now, the human kingdom that masters the three advanced paths has become the world's hegemon.

Bai Lan said: "We? No, it's me and others, not you."

He knew why Alice said time was of the essence.

The reason why this dwarf town reappeared was because of the existence of the Scarlet Troupe.

After the show "Slaying the Dragon" ends, the Scarlet Troupe will leave Lake Town, so the town may disappear.

And what will happen to these outsiders at that time?

This is not something that can be put off.

In Alice's current state, there is no way she can resist the troupe.

She could only place her hope on Bai Lan.

For her, this straw falling from the sky is the only chance to save her.

Kill the playwright and get the [Anchor Pen].

Bai Lan's original intention was also [the anchoring pen].

But the problem is, according to Alice's observation, the pen is not on the playwright's body.

They were not guaranteed the quill that would anchor their future.

Moreover, after killing the playwright, the members of the troupe will definitely riot.

At that time, 12 extraordinary beings will besiege them.

Now Alice can only be considered a source of information at best, not a helper.

Each of them has an average of one against two, which is a bit tricky for the Pavilion Master and others.

Moreover, the greatest danger is Changhu Town.

Those dwarves probably wouldn't be on their side.

Once the guards in Changhu Town are alerted, they can only surrender.

As for how to do it, this is a topic that needs to be discussed.

But not with Alice, but with Metatron and the others.

Alice also knew that Bai Lan was not alone, or in other words, if he was alone, it would be difficult to seize the quill.

"Then when are you going to take action?"

Alice was a little anxious.

Now that the fourth act is over, only the final fifth act remains.

In this special environment and state, the backup plan the old witch gave her might not work.

And once she uses it, she has no autonomy at all.

Bai Lan asked back: "We can't do it now. If the troops in Changhu Town are alerted, we will not be able to protect ourselves. There are 13 members in the troupe, and I only saw 12. Where is the last troupe leader?"

Alice was stunned: "I don't know, I've never seen that person. Oh, the playwright once mentioned the troupe leader to me. She said that the troupe leader was in our dreams, so she forbade me to sleep. At first it seemed that it was just for Prevent me from disturbing the group leader."

But later the playwright discovered that she had no intention of joining the troupe, and this sleep ban gradually turned into punishment.

"In a dream?" Bai Lan frowned.

Is the troupe leader a "dream" type of transcendent?

During his conversation with Alice, he realized that this troupe was not on the level of thieves or werewolves.

The Scarlet Troupe travels around in the era of the gods, and it can't be done without some skills.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle.

If you attack rashly without even knowing your opponent's situation, you will definitely suffer big losses.

Black Swan also said that after the collapse of the Scarlet Troupe, only the troupe leader mysteriously disappeared.

The problem is that this so-called destruction was caused by the cooperation of various major forces.

The Scarlet Troupe didn't even have the ability to resist, and they didn't leave any details of what happened.

In other words, it cannot be ruled out that the latter is a Sequence 8 level.

Bai Lan's mood was a little subtle.

Normally, be careful when dealing with unfamiliar high-sequencers.

Because you don’t know the other party’s abilities and purposes.

And Sequence 8 can undoubtedly reach this threshold.

Just like when humans are dealing with ferocious beasts, regardless of whether the beast has the intention to attack or not, humans must be wary.

This is a survival instinct, and you will die if you are not careful.

This is also the reason why all members of the Scarlet Troupe have sequence 9. Extraordinaries of this level will not be too conspicuous.

If all members are advanced, then they will attract the attention of some powerful people and will be unable to continue performing as ordinary folk artists.

But the principle is universal.

If a troupe had a Sequence 8 advanced person, it would really be inconspicuous.

Unfortunately, their knowledge was limited, and the troupe leader did not leave many records.

Black Swan also doesn’t know the rank of the troupe leader.

On the first day Alice entered Chang Lake Town, she didn't even meet the troupe leader.

This surprised Bai Lan.

Logically speaking, no matter how mysterious the troupe leader is, he must make a public appearance.

"You have to find out the news about the troupe leader, otherwise, we will be very passive." Bai Lan said concisely.

Alice sighed, it was easy to say, but her status in the troupe was very humble, she was basically a pet, and now she was not even given food. If she didn't have a strong foundation, she would have fallen down long ago.

Although they knew more or less about certain things about the troupe beforehand.

But as for the deeper information, we are still in a state of ignorance.

But Alice needs help from Bai Lan and others, and Bai Lan also needs Alice's information.

"I'll give it a try." Alice nodded.

Bai Lan heard chaotic noises coming from the dark corridor, and members of the theater troupe were coming over.

The two agreed to meet again tomorrow.

Bai Lan turned into a breeze and left here.

Because just now, the moment the playwright came out of the room, Bai Lan was standing next to him.

But the playwright seemed to have noticed something, and obviously looked aside for a while.

Bai Lan almost thought she was exposed.

So it’s better not to wander around the troupe if you have nothing to do.

If you walk too much at night, you will really see ghosts.

Bai Lan returned to his previous position and met with the Pavilion Master and others.

"How is it going?"

Bai Lan roughly told the information.

Everyone was surprised by Alice's appearance.

But thinking about the relationship between Calcifer and the Witch of the Wilderness, he felt relieved.

Calcifer was once a disciple of the Witch of the Wilds.

He knew that he could open a way in the Lost Labyrinth, so it was only natural that the Witch of the Wild should know.

The master and apprentice just made similar decisions.

All I can say is that we met by chance.

The Pavilion Master also expected to see players who were living outside.

It's just that the time and place where they met is very special, so the probability can only be said to be extremely low.

Bai Lan said: "It's easy to kill the playwright, but I'm not sure I can get the [Anchor Pen]."

With the help of his [Stealth] trait, it is very simple to kill the playwright.

But even so, the playwright may not necessarily summon the [anchoring pen].

But once the playwright dies, the [anchoring pen] may never be found again.

Because Bai Lan was unsure, he didn't act rashly.

"In other words, don't we know what will happen if we kill the playwright?"

Bai Lan nodded: "Yes! And the troupe leader didn't show up from the beginning to the end, which makes me a little uneasy."

So, everyone looked at Metatron in unison.

Metatron's expression was gentle, he didn't say anything and gently touched his forehead.

God's perspective...

…

Scarlet Theater Company Residency.

The dark corridor, the deepest room.

A weak candle light illuminates a dark corner.

A square table piled with various books.

Farther away is a classical bed. You can vaguely see the ups and downs of the quilt, and there seems to be a figure sleeping in the shadows on the bed.

The playwright sat at the square table, the weak candlelight flickering now.

She suddenly looked sideways.

Those cold eyes stared into the darkness.

A sneer appeared on her rigid and cold face, as if she had noticed something interesting.

She raised her hand gently, and a seemingly ordinary quill fell into her hand.

Then, the hand and pen began to copy quickly in the void.

…

"The playwright is dead and we get nothing."

Metatron gets his first hint of the future.

…

"The playwright is dead and we get nothing."

The playwright copied this future.

…

"We had a fight with the troupe and our troupe was destroyed."

Metatron gets a second hint.

…

"We had a fight with the troupe and our troupe was destroyed."

The playwright knows the second future.

…

The group is destroyed, the group is destroyed, the group is destroyed, the group is destroyed...

A series of group destruction prompts.

Among them, the biggest achievement was that they killed eight extraordinary beings from the troupe, and then were wiped out by the troupe.

The strength of the two parties is not equal.

…

"The breeze blows over the hills and joins the battle. The troupe is destroyed and we gain nothing."

Metatron saw a future with Bai Lan.

…

The seemingly ordinary quill paused slightly.

When the playwright saw this situation, a little doubt appeared on her face.

Keep copying.

"For some special reason, the troupe was destroyed and we gained nothing."

…

"Qingfengshanshan joined the battle at a certain time, the troupe was destroyed, and we successfully obtained the [Anchor Pen]."

After experiencing many futures, Metatron finally saw this future.

…

"For some strange reason, the troupe was destroyed, and we successfully obtained the [Anchor Pen]..."

The playwright looks at the writing in the void.

A cold smile gradually appeared on that somewhat mean face.
