My players are all actors

Chapter 62 Playing as Su Xianjun

Chu Ge carefully read the golden talent description.

"It seems like this is a golden talent that can be activated by special identities, and it's a bit like a specific game mechanic.

"Because the trial dungeon in the game "Dark Sand" is said to be based on real history, but many contents have not been recorded in the history books.

"And even if it is recorded in the history books, it may not be completely true.

"So, if the contents tampered with by monsters are added to the dungeon, the whole incident will become confusing. Because there are too many variables, no matter how smart the player is, it will be difficult to know the complete truth.

"In this case, even if the player tries hard to make the dungeon develop towards the content recorded in the history books, it is likely to go the other way. This is obviously contrary to the basic goal of the game "Dark Sand".

"The identity of the player in the game is the 'orderer', according to the official setting, it is the person who reinterprets the historical slices according to the historical development, not the person who rewrites the history.

"If the contest between the orderer and the demon is simply about whoever is stronger and who wins, history will change, that is tantamount to distorting the identity of the orderer, and it will also make history really become a little girl who can be dressed up ...that's certainly not what the game is about.

"So, after introducing the mechanism of demons tampering with history, the designers of the game "Dark Sand" also proposed a new mechanism, which is the golden talent.

"According to the description of the skill, this talent is equivalent to providing the player with something that will never be tampered with, that is, the current character's memory fragments of other characters.

"Through these memory fragments, although it is not possible to completely determine the good and evil of other characters, it can at least provide a valuable reference. When the memory fragments of many characters are gradually collected, the whole picture of the entire incident will also unfold in front of the players. .

"At that time, the possibility for players to reproduce the real history will naturally increase greatly!"

Thinking of this, Chu Ge chose the talent of memory fragments without hesitation.

Because no matter how you analyze it, it is a must-have talent if you want to solve the mystery correctly.

Of course, in this way, he can no longer choose to be proficient in opera.

For the role of Su Xianjun, not being able to choose opera proficiency means that the plot of singing on stage in the future cannot be acted at all.

But it doesn't matter. After all, Chu Ge is still in the puzzle-solving stage, and whether he acts or not during the singing part doesn't affect his puzzle-solving.

After selecting the identity and talent, the illusion of trial began to work again.

……

Theater backstage.

Chu Ge saw his own face in the bronze mirror in front of him.

The powder and ink on the face has not been completely washed off, and the previous appearance can still be vaguely seen, but the person in the mirror has undoubtedly turned into Su Xianjun's face.

This famous actress has been singing opera since she was very young, and has always been a dan role, so there is a natural feminine atmosphere in every gesture.

After Chu Ge chose Su Xianjun's identity, he also inherited the muscle memory in this body, so whether it was movements or voice, they all naturally moved closer to the original Su Xianjun.

"Mr. Xian, that gang of Dongyi thieves has taken over the theater, and the scholar at the head said that we want us to sing opera for them. If we sing, the people in the city will still have a way to live. If we don't sing, tomorrow morning, there will be no chickens or dogs left!

"Mr. Xian, Brother Wei has never begged you a few times. This time, even if you don't think of Brother Wei or the troupe brothers, you should at least think about the people in the city.

"Just treat it as a brother and for the people of the city, I beg you this time!"

Chu Ge was looking at the vanity mirror in front of him, but now he turned his head and saw Yang Xinyan.

Yang Xinyan's tall body bowed to the ground, very humble, and he could see the panic in his heart.

Chu Ge quickly located the time node of the trial illusion.

"This should be the first time that Yang Xinyan, the 'overlord', faltered after Dongyi thieves entered the city and occupied the theater.

"But when I saw this scene from the perspective of a troupe member, Yang Xinyan was clearly persuading him outside the door, while Su Xianjun's attitude was very fierce.

"That is to say...Yang Xinyan has approached Su Xianjun more than once. Maybe the first time it was a conversation in the room, but he was kicked out by Su Xianjun soon, and then he could only be scolded outside the door.

"After that, it was Wang Jinghui who came forward to persuade.

"At this stage, it should be the first time Yang Xinyan found Su Xianjun. He still doesn't know what Su Xianjun thinks, but he has a vague guess.

"There is no doubt that Su Xianjun must have rejected him this time and kicked him out."

The timing of this scene has been roughly determined, and the next performance has some eyebrows.

As long as Chu Ge scolds Yang Xinyan now, throws him out, and then rejects Yang Xinyan's persuasion many times, then the whole story can at least progress smoothly until he goes on stage to sing.

But Chu Ge doesn't intend to act step by step. After all, his current task is to solve the puzzle, so he has to make some other attempts.

Soon, Chu Ge had an idea.

Su Xianjun, who he played, turned his head, looked into Yang Xinyan's eyes and asked, "Aren't you indifferent at all when bandits entered the city and Tang county magistrate died in battle?"

Yang Xinyan was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Xian, what are you talking about? Of course I feel sorry for Tang County Magistrate's death in battle, but we are just a troupe, and we are not village heroes and soldiers, so what can we do?"

Chu Ge lowered his voice slightly, but his expression became more determined: "Don't the thieves want to listen to the opera? They are all in the theater at this time, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"There is still kerosene in the county seat, you secretly lead someone to take out the kerosene, and while I was performing for the thieves in the middle of the night, I poured the kerosene around the theater.

"When I yell to light the fire, you will directly set fire to the theater and burn all these thieves to death!"

Yang Xinyan couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Mr. Xian, this is absolutely impossible!
"Although your plan sounds heroic, is it actually any different from sending you to death?

"Not to mention that the entire theater is now occupied by thieves, it is difficult for us to leave; even if we leave, the series of actions such as pouring oil, stacking firewood, and lighting the fire are so conspicuous, how can we hide from those thieves?

"Even if those thieves are drunk and sleepy, even if you go on stage and sing to attract their attention, but the smell of fire oil is strong, and with so many people splashing oil around the theater with great fanfare, there must be some movement. During this period, everyone Any bandit who notices the abnormality will fall short of success!

"At that time, not only we will die under the knife, but I am afraid that the whole county will be buried with us when the bandits are angry!

"Mr. Xian, you should quickly give up this unrealistic idea. Although it is embarrassing to sing for the bandits, if we can really save the people in the county, we are just actors, so what if we are notorious?"

It has to be said that for a moment, Chu Ge was really almost persuaded by Yang Xinyan.

Although Yang Xinyan acted very cowardly, his analysis of the feasibility of "burning the theater" really made some sense.

Chu Ge didn't think much about it before, but now he thinks about it carefully, yes, this matter sounds quite heroic, but in fact the success rate is not very high!

The premise of burning the theater is that many people go out to carry kerosene and splash it around the theater.

However, the Dongyi thieves seem to be brainless, but they are actually extremely vigilant. There are so many people pouring oil outside the theater, are they all deaf and blind?No one saw it?No one heard the sound, smelled the taste?
Is this a bit too intellectual?

What's more, although the theater is mainly made of wood, the oil of this era does not burn as violently as the oil of later generations.Although there have long been records about fierce fire oil in historical materials, those things are for military use, and they may not be found in this small county.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if everything goes well, it will take a certain amount of time for the fire to burn up. It is impossible to burn into a sea of ​​flames and completely block the thieves.

Once the fire is lit, if the thieves rush out immediately, the fire will probably be unstoppable.

How could they all be burned to death in the theater so smoothly?

Chu Ge was also confused.

He didn't think about it before, because he had preconceived ideas and knew that Su Xianjun's plan was probably successful, so he didn't seriously analyze the feasibility of this matter at all.

Hearing what Yang Xinyan said now, he realized that the matter of setting fire to the theater building wasn't that simple, was it?

However, if there was no burning of the theater at all, it would be even more impossible to wipe out this gang of thieves.

Chu Ge was a little confused for a while.
