I'm not a theatre god

Chen Ling had never seen "himself" from this perspective.

A headless figure in a bright red costume stood quietly in front of him, with the stunned Ying Fu and other shocked judges behind him...

This was the view from the plate.

I...

was beheaded?

No, that's not right... At this moment, Chen Ling's brain was working rapidly, and he had almost no hesitation. The head stuck on the plate suddenly spoke!

"【Cut】!!!"

In an instant, the world stopped.

The flickering candlelight next to the dining car froze instantly, and the music of the piano and cello stopped abruptly... Everyone in the venue was motionless like a sculpture, and shocked and stunned faces came into Chen Ling's eyes.

Chen Ling's head was placed on the plate, and his eyes swept around little by little. His face was gloomy, and I don't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, he spoke again:

"【Re-examination】."

As soon as the words fell, everything around him began to rewind along the trajectory of the story, and a line of text first appeared in front of Chen Ling...

[Action: Chi Tong stole Chen Ling's "head"]

Stealing the "head"?

So far, the most accurate "theft" Chen Ling has seen is that the Silver King took out the heart and then returned it to its original place... Although Bai Ye can also take out organs, it is extremely difficult to put it back.

And this Chi Tong in front of him was able to steal his "head" directly out of thin air. You know, the connection between the head and the body is extremely complex, bones, blood vessels, flesh, tendons...From an operational point of view, this is much more difficult than stealing internal organs!

The most important thing is that after Chen Ling's head was stolen, he was able to maintain his body functions and think...

This has exceeded the scope of ordinary "theft". It is likely that it is the characteristics of the path that Chi Tong stepped on...Just like Bai Ye is good at stealing memories, Chi Tong's path should be a very special "theft".

Chen Ling glanced at the line of text and continued to control the script to trace back.

[Chi Tong (jokingly): "How about we take a look first?"]

[Action: The Silver King cast a vigilant look at Chen Ling]

[Chi Tong (shrugged) "Really not eating? This thing is not common... It would be a pity if you don't eat it."]

[Chen Ling: "No, I'm full."]

[...]

[Action: Ying Fu seemed to notice the "theft" and fell into deep thought as he looked at Chen Ling's back]

[Chen Ling: "Thank you."]

[The Silver King stole Chen Ling's "doubt"]

The eight-second script ended here.

As the plot went back, Chen Ling's head also turned back to his body. He looked at the lines of the script in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly...

"Sure enough..."

These few short lines of text contain a lot of information. Now it seems that the Silver King did not really leave, but turned from light to darkness, always paying attention to this place in another place.

Moreover, he also stole his "doubts"... What kind of doubts were they about?

Chen Ling recalled again. Eight seconds ago, he should have been chatting with Tian Huai, and he talked about his younger brother, Huai Mang... No, Huai Wen?

A trace of doubt rose from Chen Ling's heart again.

His eyes suddenly brightened!

That's right! The Huai Mang in his memory and the Huai Wen in Tian Huai's memory are definitely not just information gaps, but the Silver King used some method to tamper with Tian Huai's memory... Otherwise, the Silver King would not have had to steal his "doubts" at all!

In Chen Ling's eyes, this move of the Silver King was undoubtedly a cover-up, and it was clearly related to him.

Now Chen Ling no longer has "doubts". He is sure that all this is related to the Silver King. Now he vaguely feels that he will soon reveal the real reason why the five judges betrayed the human realm.

"But even if it's Senior Bai Ye, he can only steal memories, and can't replace them with a new memory... Is this a new ability of the eighth or ninth level of [Borrowing the Moon]?

As the leader of the Way of Stealing Gods, which path does the Silver King belong to? Why can he use so many different ways of stealing gods?"

Chen Ling frowned and pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of the answer... He didn't have time to think about it.

Now, he is facing another dilemma.

The Silver King left the church on the surface, but he was actually observing everything in secret, which means that Chi Tong's provocation is definitely related to the Silver King... There is a great possibility that Chi Tong stole his "head" just to test him.

If the Silver King stayed at the venue, he would definitely have to react to Chi Tong's provocation, so he simply chose to leave so that Chi Tong could play without restrictions.

He wanted to see how he would respond to Chi Tong's provocation...

The gap in rank was a fatal flaw. Chen Ling was only at the fourth rank, while Chi Tong was at the seventh rank. With such a huge gap in strength, Chen Ling could either swallow his anger and ask Chi Tong to return his head, or he could only fly into a rage and be easily suppressed by Chi Tong.

Either way, it was an oppression and insult to Chen Ling... What the Silver King really wanted was to test the bottom line of "Chao" in his body in this way.

At what point would the Destroyer react? What kind of symbiotic relationship was there between "Chao" and Chen Ling?

This dinner was an experiment of the Silver King, and the result of the experiment would determine how he would "use" himself in the future...

"What a good plan."

Chen Ling figured out the logic behind it, and his eyes became colder.

If there was no [card], and if he hadn't seen everything in these eight seconds, Chen Ling would probably be played around by the Silver King... His current expectation value was 78%, and it was impossible to release the ridicule disaster. If the Silver King realized this, or if he saw that he would be resurrected, he would definitely not be as friendly to him as he was today.

"Ridicule" is like a nuclear weapon. The international status of a country that may launch nuclear weapons at any time is very different from that of a country that cannot use nuclear weapons.

"If you want to test me, I'll give you this opportunity... It depends on whether you have the courage."

Chen Ling's eyes swept across the script in front of him, and he used up all his mental strength to launch "denial" on the last line of the script!

A new line of text began to cover the original script.

Scarlet blood flowed out of Chen Ling's seven orifices, but fortunately he only changed one line of text this time, so he was not exhausted yet. He reviewed the new script and took a deep breath...

"【A】."

Snap——

With the sound of snapping fingers, the world line was instantly remade, and everything returned to eight seconds ago. A brand new story line is about to unfold!
