Chapter 961: 959: New Life

"William?"

The director touched his small mustache, "Oh... you really know him! No wonder you two look exactly alike, but your acting is quite lacking. Luckily, my kind of B-grade films don’t require much acting, just enough brutality and creativity."

"What is his status among you all?"

The director quickly waved his hand, "William~ That’s something I can’t say; it’s our internal rule. Unless you join us, but you have a divine aura, so transformation is basically impossible."

"Sounds like his status is quite high."

The director did not deny, "People who can deal with me aren’t ranked too poorly."

"So, director, do you rank at the front or back among all the [Disasters]?"

The director stroked his mustache and pointed his wobbly forefinger at Yi Chen, "You kid trying to trick me, just like William... You can assume our entire crew represents [Disaster]. As for ranking? It’s a bit hard to say; our crew ranks last.

But this ranking is comprehensive. The reason for landing last might be because our crew only lets one outsider in at a time for participation, unable to cause large-scale destruction.

Of course, those other guys are quite a hassle too. If you encounter them, I’m afraid surviving wouldn’t be so easy."

Yi Chen indeed intended to pry information. If the director had answered directly, it would mean he’s the embodiment of Disaster.

"The Tenth Disaster?"

"That’s right, I rank tenth.

Alright, Mr. Yi, quickly go back and internalize this Reaper role, immerse yourself in the character, and adapt to the film’s rhythm whenever you can.

Your movements must be controlled within a normal range, so that the audience can savor the thrill of blades piercing flesh and the splattering blood."

"When is filming?"

"Due to the new character and ideas you provided, I need to recreate a screenplay. It might take one to two days, or one to two weeks! In time, I will find you, wherever you are; you’ll be brought to the crew. Just be ready."

"Will we be let leave like this?"

"What else?

You’re an important actor I’ve chosen, more valuable than all previous extras. However, remind that moon-loving friend to stop damaging the night.

Our crew only works under the night; every world’s different night might be our filming location. If the Moon is damaged, the night loses its luster."

"What if he can bring better moonlight?"

Yi Chen’s words made the boss ponder, lightly tapping his lips with his nose tip, "Oh? Interesting, I’ve never tried letting two outsiders act at once."

"He’s just the lighting technician, not an actor; it’s worth a try."

"Sure! Go back and tell him; next time you both report to the crew. He’s been stabbed by Miles and marked; sooner or later he’ll die, might be used to stay alive."

"If Miles injured him, he’ll definitely die?"

The director stood and patted Yi Chen’s shoulder,

"Stop trying to con me~ By the way, keep my business card! Also, give one to that Moon kid for easy locating later."

From his jacket, the director skillfully pulled out two business cards and handed them over.

Embossed Roman text, with a black gold border, quite exquisite.

[Director - Michael Carpenter]

"Won’t this get noticed if I take it back?"

"That depends on Mr. Yi’s skills. Those shoddy mass-produced Gods aren’t very strict. Of course, if worried about exposure, you can toss it; it doesn’t matter."

Yi Chen had no intention of discarding the card; it had great value, which he politely tucked into his pocket.

"How do I leave the crew?"

Just as the director was about to personally lead Yi Chen to the photography studio’s exit, the entire office suddenly permeated a special scent, one that could stimulate reproductive desire, a fragrance Yi Chen once smelled in the Forest of New Birth.

The director touched the wall-seeped mucus with his finger, then licked his tongue, showing an excited expression, "Oh? Seems no need for me to escort you out... You guys are really special, able to infiltrate my crew and forcefully take people away."

Yi Chen was equally shocked, feeling as though his body was embraced by countless mucus-covered arms from behind,

soft, moist, and warm.

Dragging him downward to topple; the office floor liquefied, sinking under the arms’ drag.

Constraints from the crew, screenplay, and malice’s oppression instantly vanished.

Yi Chen cooperated with the process, restraining his death, expressing only the physical, not resisting the bestowal of new birth concepts.

During the sinking process, those arms peeled off the aging exterior of the body, like "shedding".

As the skin fell away, new skin grew under the nurturing hands, like a mature newborn.

Upon descending to the bottom, Yi Chen seemed to glimpse an opening.

Swoosh!

With the water pressure and a pull, Yi Chen emerged through the opening.

Before him stood the familiar old clinic, five nurses with blood-colored crosses on their faces surrounded him, appearing to smile comfortingly from within the Blood Cross.

Behind Yi Chen, on the old-style operating table, lay the extremely weak and sweaty Lene.

"Mr. Yi, it’s good you’re alive..." Lene’s lips had completely turned white, managing to utter the last sentence before fainting completely.

"Yellow Skin!"

Yellow Skin immediately detached from Yi Chen, transforming into a loose, warm, and moisturizing robe that wrapped Lene entirely.

The surgery door opened,

Lorrian flipped a coin, side-eyed the ’newborn’ Yi Chen, "Mr. Yi, hurry, leave this world before the Disaster chases and you miss this chance."

"The crisis is solved; being a bit slow is okay."

"What? You killed the Disaster!?" Preparing to conjure Moonlight, Lorrian was astonished.

"I can’t kill such a thing right now, just reached an agreement, which needs a long time to explain."

"A good or bad agreement?"

"Neither good nor bad, it even involves you, Lorrian. Your Moon Sacrifice can continue; leave in two days."

"What!?"

Lorrian knew Disaster came personally because he sacrificed many worlds’ Moons. Now, not only is the crisis resolved, but he’s allowed to continue sacrificing, which is odd.

For a moment, he couldn’t comprehend what kind of deal Yi Chen made with them, even suspecting Yi Chen had fallen into [Evil].

However, using Moon Eyes to examine Yi Chen’s soul didn’t read any malice.

Yi Chen stood, stretching his body, "Before Gods send someone, start your ritual."

After facing each other again, a sliver of moonlight carried Lorrian to the Moon.

As for Reagan, who always waited outside, upon hearing their conversation confirming the crisis’s end, didn’t enter the surgery room for disturbance but quickly found a small hidden hotel to enjoy post-crisis time with Miss Faye.
