From Prisoner to Si Chen

Jilan continued to sit on the swing in the courtyard of the apartment for a while, and then went back upstairs to his room.

He felt sticky, so he took a cold shower and changed into clean clothes.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom and wiped my wet hair, I heard a slight vibration coming from the pocket of the coat hanging on the coat rack.

‘It’s the news from the Alchemy Hotline. ’

Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

He put down the towel, walked over, took out the hotline and connected it. With a click, Ms. Crow's mature and beautiful voice came from the microphone:

"Good night, Mr. Gillan."

"Good night, ma'am."

Gillan held the hotline microphone in one hand, showing off his muscular upper body with perfect lines. I walked to the window and breathed in the cool evening breeze.

Her gradually long hair is spread around her shoulders, swaying in the wind, giving people a lazy look.

"Is this the cooperation we discussed before? Has there been any result?" he asked softly.

"Not bad." Ms. Crow smiled. "After discussion at the 'Screening Roundtable' meeting, we agreed to your proposal. From now on, you and I will exchange clues about the real film of "Curtain Call" and search for the whereabouts of its fragments together."

"If we get it all together, then we will share the right to use it."

"That's good news." Jilan smiled, then changed the topic and said: "But since it is cooperation, we must first set the rules... If the film is gathered together, which party will use it first?"

"Um……"

Ms. Crow on the other end of the phone pondered and thought for a few seconds.

"Mr. Gillan, otherwise... to show our sincerity, we are willing to sell you the 6th-level 'set' secret, but we have priority in using it."

"Let's talk about the selling price first."

Jilan said calmly.

"Just two 'Sal cards' are enough."

Ms. Crow said solemnly.

Hearing this, Ji Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Sal Card", also known as "White Card", is a high-level mysterious currency created by the ancient secret sect "Tiangong Dawn".

It is a high-polymer energy alchemy in itself, and a mercury battery is not worthy of holding a shoe in front of it, so its value is not low, and it is only circulated on a small scale in the upper reaches of the mysterious field.

It is an exclusive item of equivalent exchange between strong people, and ordinary people have no access to it.

Although the market price of a "white card" is around 1,000 Caesars, it is often impossible to buy it even if you have the money, causing the price to be inflated, reaching at least 1,500 Caesars.

But even so, the price proposed by Ms. Crow can indeed be said to be full of sincerity.

After all, the value of a secret inheritance of level 6 essence is obviously much higher than two "white cards".

"Sorry, Ms. Crow."

Gillan said calmly.

“I’m more focused on priorities.”

"..." On the other end of the phone, the lady took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds. "What if we just need a 'white card'?"

Her tone was extremely solemn and sincere.

"Mr. Gillan, we attach great importance to our cooperation with you, but after all, the Recording Society has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this film... I just hope that when the remaining pieces are collected, they can be viewed first."

"Please rest assured that you will only read it once, and it will be handed over to you for subsequent use, and this will be the rotation."

Hearing this, Jilan looked thoughtful.

"It can be seen that you are indeed sincere."

He thought for a while and said slowly.

If it was a rotation where both parties watched the movie once, this would be acceptable. And Ms. Crow may have pushed the price of the secret "set" to the bottom line.

"If that's the case, yes."

He agreed to the other party's request.

On the other end of the phone, Ms. Crow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." the lady said. "Then let me convey the secret information of 'setup' to you through the hotline."

"good."

Gillan agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Ms. Crow brewed her emotions for a while, and then spoke in the clearest words and words:

"The secret tradition of 'setting the scene' says this: Build a stage in your mind, and turn your mind into a cloth. The bright eyes become the lamp, and the fallen cloth becomes the curtain."

It is still a sixteen-meter meter with neat words and phrases, which contains the secret secret.

Immediately afterwards, Ms. Crow explained it to Gilan in detail so that he could understand it more easily.

"Scenery" is the spiral of the furnace sword, the sixth level essence of February's "director". Its most important ability can be summed up in four words, which is——

Build the scene.

Using real scenes as a reference, by borrowing the strong consciousness honed on one's own path, we constantly recall, imagine and redesign in our hearts.

When this kind of imagination accumulates and imprints over a long period of time, it will become a reality deep in the soul.

Eventually, it can be embodied in reality and retained for a short period of time.

In the most popular terms, it means spending a lot of time and energy in advance to build a "stage" that is absolutely beneficial to oneself, and then releasing it into reality at a specific time, placing both the enemy and ourselves in this scene at the same time.

In the end, relying on the geographical advantage, they unilaterally crushed the enemy.

It can be said that if a "set designer" is well prepared, he can rely on the "scene" he constructs to face the attacks of multiple enemies of the same level at the same time.

Not to mention victory, at least we can be invincible.

Of course, this essence is not without its weaknesses.

In fact, all physical attacks can destroy the "scene" constructed by the "scenic artist".

Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the "scene" will be completely destroyed. The "set decorator" himself will also suffer corresponding backlash, his consciousness will be damaged, and his spirituality will even regress.

About ten minutes later.

Ms. Crow told Jilan the secret of "setting" and its detailed explanation without reservation.

And Jilan also sent a "white card" to Ms. Crow through the long-distance alchemy array of the hotline.

"I have written down the secret, thank you for your patience, Ms. Crow."

Jilan put the microphone to his ear and smiled.

"Happy transaction."

"Happy transaction, sir."

Ms. Crow's tone was also quite relaxed.

Click.

The alchemy hotline was hung up.

Jilan was in a very good mood.

'In just one day, not only did my strength improve greatly, but I also got the 6th-level secret of the "director" way as I wished. '

He leaned against the windowsill, looking at the night view outside with a smile on his face.

'Today is the 25th, and there are only 5 days left until the end of April... Although I don't know which day the "Eclipse Society" will choose to take action, I am not afraid of them no matter what means they use. '

Jilan's eyes were like water, deep and deep.

This strong self-confidence stems from his current strength.

…

…

Late at night.

Through the "Letter Comb", Gillan once again descended to the Black Castle in the depths of the Dream Sea.

This visit was to deliver the second negative of the Windmill Cat to Miss Tolina.

After learning of Tolina's true identity, the "Mother of Sorrow" of August Sichen, Gillan's mentality did not change much.

Even though he knew that the other party was one of the gods of this other world and represented the truth and law of the earthly world, in Gillan's eyes, Miss Tolina was still the helpless and lovable girl.

Moreover, during the last visit, Tolina took the initiative to offer a kiss of a girl's innocent feelings, which made Gillan's long-suppressed emotions burst out.

It can be said that the relationship between the two has become no longer as simple as "ordinary friends".

"Mr. Gillan..."

Just as Gillan stepped onto the stairs, he heard a familiar clear female voice from above.

He stopped and looked up.

I saw a girl wearing a plain long dress with a white background and brown color and a waterfall of black hair sitting quietly in a wheelchair.

She was holding the gray rabbit plush doll given by Jilan, with a faint smile on her lips. She seemed to be sincerely happy about Jilan's arrival.

"Miss Tolina, I apologize for the intrusion."

Jilan took off his hat and bowed.

Then, he strode forward and walked to the platform at the top of the steps.

Tolina was sitting alone in a wheelchair, and there was no figure of Jorah, the steward of the Black Castle. I don't know if he went out for something or was deliberately sent away by Tolina.

"Nothing to be intrusive, sir."

Tolina looked up and smiled at Jilan.

"Originally, I thought it would take a long time for you to come... I didn't expect to see you again so soon, sir, I'm very happy."

"This time I came here, I have a gift for you."

Jilan chuckled, took the initiative to walk over and push the girl's wheelchair, and walked together to the garden deep in the castle.

His movements were very skillful, and the girl seemed to be used to it, and neither side was polite.

"Gift?" Tolina sat in a wheelchair and let the young man push her from behind. A hint of surprise appeared on her fair face, and she couldn't help asking:

"Didn't the gentleman just give me a gift..."

Gilan didn't answer, but smiled and pushed the girl to the stone table in the garden.

Then, he silently took out a small film and handed it to Tolina.

"This is..."

The girl couldn't help but stare at the film in a daze.

Immediately, she was not as surprised as Gilan expected. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and said uneasily:

"Did Mr. Gilan take risks for me again..."

She turned her head, raised her hand quickly, and grabbed Gilan's wrist.

"I can clearly feel that Mr.'s consciousness has been greatly damaged, and even his spirituality has been tarnished."

"Torina is very sad, and I don't want to see Mr. get hurt for me again."

"..."

Gilan didn't expect the wheelchair girl to react like this. After a short silence, he said bluntly:

"Miss Tolina, don't feel any burden. This injury is nothing to me... and it's not all because of the 'windmill cat'."

"This film is just one of my trophies. I thought it would be of greater help to you, so I sent it to you in the Black Castle."

Although Gillan said what was in his heart, Tolina obviously didn't think so.

She seemed to take Gillan's comfort as an excuse to avoid her guilt, which made her even more moved.

This also made Tolina's inner emotions stronger again, and it was difficult to suppress.

"Hold..." The girl raised her head, her black eyes flashing, looking directly at the young man.

"Hmm?" Gillan was startled.

"Hold!" Tolina emphasized her tone and even took the initiative to open her arms.

Gillan understood now.

He took a deep breath, then leaned down gently and hugged the girl in his arms.

"Very warm, thank you."

Tolina leaned her face against the young man's chest, closed her eyes, and said softly.
