Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 420: The Legend of the White Snake Transforms Instantly into a Wild Python

"Are you looking for a screenwriter or an actor?" Same time, same place, just like the usual world, the same director asked Xie Yuanan with a smile.

Xie Yuanan pressed the magic hat on his head and said without hesitation: "Actor."

  *

"Writer or actor?"

Qiu Yulong asked in a muffled voice: "What choice will my teammates make?"

The director smiled and said, "I don't know."

"I can't write...I'm an actor."

  *

"Writer or actor?"

Cai Cai still had two pigtails as usual, but the difference was that this time her black eyes had turned emerald green as she looked at the director.

"Can a theater use child labor?" she asked.

Director: “There is no age discrimination in theater.”

"Okay." Cai Cai shrugged. She was just joking. Her eyes had already seen the right choice.

“I want to be an actor.”

  *

"Writer or actor?"

A frail woman with short hair and glasses, holding a notebook in her arms, had her eyes light up and said hurriedly, "Screenwriter! I want to be a screenwriter!"

  *

After Lan Xiaye made up her mind, she brought out her previous interview experience and asked the director, "What are the assessment criteria for becoming a full-time screenwriter?"

The director was stunned, his pea-sized eyes began to move, and his sticky and venomous gaze was fixed on Lan Xiaye.

"Convert to a regular employee?" the director asked back, and then said, "When you are capable, I will naturally make you a regular employee."

Lan Xiaye raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that this rhetoric was an attempt to get something for free.

In the real world, it is free labor, but in a dangerous place like a battlefield, it is hard to say what you are getting for free.

"Then what are the assessment criteria for an actor to become a regular employee?" Lan Xiaye asked.

The director frowned unhappily and said, "Just finish the play."

"What happens if the transition fails?"

The director chuckled, a greedy and weird smile whose meaning was self-evident.

Soon, he urged, "Screenwriter or actor? Madam, please stop wasting my time. There are many people coming to the theater for interviews today. I am very busy."

Lan Xiaye: "Let me ask one last question. Which position has the highest conversion rate?"

The director was impatient, "Actor."

“Then I’ll be an actor.”

When Lan Xiaye made her choice, the closed door of the theater opened.

She walked to the door and looked out.

Countless identical doors were pushed open at the same time, spreading out in an arc shape, and at the same time, someone walked out of the door hesitantly.

If it weren't for the fact that the people walking out of the door had inconsistent appearances, at first glance it would look like the scene was reproduced one-to-one by countless mirrors, blooming synchronously like a kaleidoscope.

In the center of the kaleidoscope stood the chubby director. Standing on a circular platform with only one person standing on it, he raised his arms and cheered, "Welcome everyone to the Dusk Theater!"

The space changed again, with countless gates and theaters merging together.

Swah——

In the blink of an eye, everyone was back inside the theater.

They stood in the audience, gazing up at the stage.

What’s interesting is that a group of people stood in the audience, but their image was like extras in a cartoon—gray silhouettes that were not refined and blurred.

There are no facial features, no clothes, just a few flat, straight lines.

Very abstract and perfunctory.

The advantage of this is that no one can recognize anyone else, which greatly protects Lan Xiaye from being found by the anchor.

But the downside is that she also couldn't find her teammates. The audience was silent, not because people didn't want to talk, but because there was a rule that forced them to stop talking.

The sign with the words "Dusk Theater" and a laughing mask hanging on the bright red curtain on the stage suddenly lit up with colorful lights.

Cheerful music sounded, and the director held up the microphone and announced happily: "The first play is about to begin, are you ready?"

There was silence under the stage.

"I forgot to mute you." The director laughed and snapped his fingers, lifting the ban.

"Ready." A sparse voice responded to the director.

Seeing this, the director nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, the first play, The Legend of White Snake, will be released soon. Please look forward to it."

Swish-

The director disappeared from the stage, all the lights went out, and the red curtain closed automatically.

There was total silence in the audience, but Lan Xiaye noticed that several gray shadows disappeared.

She was lucky this time and was not selected in the first wave. Lan Xiaye sat in the audience and could observe the situation of others for herself.

The red curtain opens and The Legend of White Snake begins.

The lights in the rafters turned and a spotlight shone on the center of the stage.

Two women with snake tails and human bodies slowly appeared on the stage holding oil-paper umbrellas. The melodious and gentle music and soft lighting made the faces of the two snake women no longer look hideous.

"It's the rebellious Snake Queen!" a gray shadow nearby exclaimed.

Snake Princess is the previous form of Medusa's evolution. She is not the name of a fixed person, but refers to a certain stage of Medusa's bloodline.

It is a title.

Lan Xiaye, who had dealt with Snake Queen in the previous battlefield, had some understanding of them.

Before Lan Xiaye could analyze it in depth, an explosion suddenly sounded beside her, startling her so much that she turned around to check.

A gray shadow sitting slightly above Lan Xiaye exploded, announcing his death.

Its self-explosion did not implicate anyone around it, but its sudden death attracted the attention of most people.

"What happened? Why did someone suddenly die?"

Panic began to spread.

boom--

There was another explosion, and the person who spoke blew himself up and died again.

There was dead silence in the audience.

Obviously everyone has guessed the death rules - no talking, keep quiet in the theater, and no noise allowed.

During the performance, if anyone makes any noise, they will explode and die.

Lan Xiaye became more cautious. He didn't expect that there were hidden death rules here.

Be careful, careful, and careful again.

She looked towards the stage. The little disturbance just now did not affect the performance on the stage at all.

At this point, the plot has advanced to the time when the White Snake and Xu Xian are getting married. The pale light shines on their faces, and the flickering candlelight makes their shadows clear.

The wedding arrangement, however, lacked any warmth.

The two men's expressions were cold and alert, full of murderous intent.

Suddenly, someone sang in operatic tune: "Every year on this day, I feel confused. My naughty daughter accidentally changed the wedding wine into realgar."

The slender singing voice sounded faintly in the silent environment, which was very ghostly.

The actor who played Xu Xian listened to the lyrics carefully, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped back to create some distance. As expected, he caught a glimpse of the white snake princess curling her lips slightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

The human figure reflected on the wall suddenly split in the middle, and a terrifying giant python crawled out from the human skin, rolling its body and swooping down, not giving Xu Xian any chance to react, and trying to swallow the actor who played Xu Xian in one bite.
