Chapter 97 revision failed.
Chapter 97 revision failed.
The pen never stops; what an overbearing name.
In Lu Dan's imagination, at this moment he should be like a god descending to earth. He only needs to wave his index finger lightly to draw a scarlet X in the air, and the evil spirits in front of him should be erased like misspelled words.
However, reality gave this professional screenwriter a resounding slap in the face.
His fingers touched the manuscript paper, but he didn't feel a sense of control.
My fingertips felt like they were touching a pool of murky, indestructible mud.
[Warning: Plot points are not locked.]
[Warning: Current script structure resolution is 0%.]
[Editing failed.]
You are attempting to alter text on a blank sheet of paper that has not yet been printed.
Lu Dan's pupils contracted sharply; he had made a common-sense mistake.
This skill gave him confidence, but he forgot that the prerequisite for a screenwriter to revise a script is to have the script in hand.
Now, he knows almost nothing about this real-life script, he hasn't even figured out the outline, yet he wants to modify it directly. This isn't screenwriting, this is dreaming.
The golden eyes, which had just opened a crack in its chest and radiated divinity, closed instantly, perhaps angered by the humiliating defeat.
The foul-smelling, purplish-black tongue was less than five centimeters from Lin Xiaoxiao's eyeballs.
Lin Xiaoxiao could even see the tiny fleshy buds wriggling on her tongue, and the stench of death ruffled her bangs.
"What a hassle~"
A mournful sigh echoed deep within Lu Dan's soul.
The next second, his embarrassed look due to failure suddenly changed, his black pupils were instantly stained with blood, and his tense back revealed a lazy and dangerous charm.
"Snapped!"
The hand, now deathly pale, shot out with incredible speed and caught the oncoming ghost tongue.
"What?"
Xu Jie, hanging upside down from the ceiling, let out a muffled gasp.
She tried to retract her tongue, but found that it was as if molten iron had been poured into it, and it wouldn't budge.
Lu Dan, dressed in red, looked up, a breathtaking smile curving his lips, his eyes filled with disgust: "You filthy things, is this how you treat your guests?"
"Get down here!"
Lu Dan, dressed in red, suddenly exerted force with his arm.
"Bang!"
The blue-faced female ghost, clinging to the ceiling, was forcibly ripped off and slammed hard onto the writhing, fleshy floor, splashing up a pool of viscous stomach acid.
"run!"
Lu Dan, the man in red, did not press his advantage.
She saw the current situation clearly through her ankle. Although she had enjoyed a great meal in Twin Village and gained a lot of strength, the chef's strength was definitely above hers.
"What are you still standing there for?"
She glanced back at the stunned crowd, her voice sharp and alluring, which immediately put everyone on edge again.
Da Lu carried the unconscious Ye Jianguo on his back and ran wildly, his fat trembling violently with each step.
Chen Hua supported the trembling Chen Zhongyi, with Lin Xiaoxiao and Bao Ping following closely behind.
"roar!"
Xu Jie, who had been thrown to the ground, struggled to her feet, her jaw dislocated, her tongue limp and hanging on the ground, and the ghostly fire in her eyes burning even brighter.
The charred yellow-haired man also caught up. With each step he took, a piece of burning charcoal fell from his body, sizzling as it burned the flesh wherever it passed.
At the very back, Giss was dragging a huge cleaver, the tip scraping against the ground with a grating sound.
"I can't take it anymore... I'm going to throw up!"
Chen Zhongyi retched as he ran.
This road is really difficult to walk on. The ground is like the soft tissue of a living organism. Every time you step on it, you sink several centimeters in, and when you pull it out, it comes with a stringy, sticky substance.
"Shut up, get on your way!"
Chen Huachong, who was standing next to him, called out to him.
Lu Dan was unable to control his body at this moment and could only act as a strategist within the red vision.
"This won't work, you can't get rid of them."
He watched as the three ghosts drew ever closer behind him.
The charred corpse with yellow hair was extremely fast, and was less than five meters away from the red-clad Lu Dan at the back of the group.
"Nonsense! Of course I know I can't shake him off." My roommate cursed inwardly as he created walls of black hair behind him to block them.
"You so-called teammates are all dirt poor."
"Are you saving all your points for the New Year? Don't you have any items?"
Lu Dan's heart tightened. "That's right, let's ask them if they have any usable tools."
Lu Dan, dressed in red, shouted, "Hey, you in front, whatever you're carrying—bombs, glue, or whatever other junk—get out there and use it!"
The group of people who were running frantically were stunned.
Da Lu, panting, said, "I haven't exchanged anything yet. The item I used to stop Team Leader Ye's bleeding was my last item. Oh, and a smoke bomb too."
Chen Hua, who was standing next to him, slapped him on the head: "What's the use of a smoke grenade? This place is like intestines, straight and tubular, even a blind man could feel his way here."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned around, holding several runes in her hand: "I only have these leftover one-time immobilization runes, but they're not very effective."
Bao Ping, who had been running quietly in the middle with a very low profile, slipped and almost fell.
He slapped his forehead suddenly: "Hey, wait, I have it! I have it!"
Bao Ping frantically rummaged through the pockets of his work clothes.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Dan, dressed in red, sent several strands of hair piercing the shoulder of the blond-haired man who lunged at him, knocking him back several meters: "Don't pull out your broken wrench."
"It's not a wrench, it's this!" Bao Ping pulled out a crumpled brown paper bag that looked like it was for sunflower seeds. "This is what I bought before."
"What is that? Throw it over here!"
Bao Ping gritted his teeth, turned around, and threw the paper bag in his hand towards the back of the line, "Here! Road-breaking powder!"
"What the heck?"
Despite her confusion, Lu Dan in red reacted swiftly. She used her hair to catch the paper bag, her eyes scanning the instructions on it.
[Item: Circuit Breaker Powder]
[Description: Sometimes, if you can't outrun something, you might as well tear down the road. Although it's a substandard product, it's enough to make any organization question its very existence.]
[Effect: After being cast, creates a 30-meter-long section of absolute nothingness that lasts for 40 seconds.]
[Note: Why are you redeeming this? Are you planning to scam people in the marathon?]
Price: 100 points.
"Great stuff!" Lu Dan in red's eyes lit up. This was practically a magic weapon tailor-made for this kind of straight-through terrain.
The blond zombie and the green-skinned female ghost were getting closer again.
"Go back!"
Lu Dan, dressed in red, stopped and turned to face the three surging ghosts. He then pressed his hands down and crushed the brown paper bag.
"puff!"
The grayish-white powder instantly corroded the fleshy ground beneath their feet. With the heel of the red-clothed ruddy calamus as the boundary, the writhing, slimy fleshy ground behind it disappeared completely.
The charred, yellow-haired guy at the front couldn't stop in time, stepped into empty air, and then, as if something had gone wrong, he was comically suspended in mid-air.
Its feet thrashed wildly, but there was no foothold.
Without a road, there is no way to move forward.
The green-skinned ghost Xu Jie, who followed closely behind, was in an even more sorry state. She had originally tried to climb over the side wall, but that section of the wall had also vanished into nothingness.
Separated by 30 meters of gray nothingness, the three vengeful ghosts could only roar helplessly in place.
"Only 40 seconds left!" Bao Ping shouted from the front.
"Hmph, even four seconds would be enough." Lu Dan, dressed in red, sneered, turning around with a red glint in her eyes. "Too slow!"
She raised her hands, her index fingers spread.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A torrent of black hair instantly surged towards the crowd.
"Ouch? Ouch! Ouch!" Chen Zhongyi screamed as he felt a tightness around his waist, and his whole body was wrapped in hair like a silkworm cocoon.
Not only him, but also Da Lu, Ye Jianguo, Chen Hua, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Bao Ping all had their hair curled up.
"Hold on tight, passengers!" Lu Dan, dressed in red, said with a coquettish and delighted tone, "We're about to accelerate!"
She transformed into a red and black afterimage, dragging a string of humans behind her as she raced wildly through the writhing fleshy passage.
The wind howled, and the dark red flesh walls on both sides retreated rapidly.
The feeling of being forcibly carried away by the female ghost was really unpleasant. Chen Zhongyi felt like he had been stuffed into a washing machine, and the acid in his stomach was about to be shaken out.
But the effect is significant.
The seemingly endless esophageal corridor finally came to a close after a rapid sprint.
A door appeared ahead. Unlike the fleshy structure, this was a luxurious double door, carved with intricate patterns and with handles made of pure gold lion heads.
It stood out starkly amidst the pile of rotting flesh, appearing utterly out of place.
"arrive!"
Lu Dan, dressed in red, slammed on the brakes, his black hair came loose, and everyone fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
"vomit--"
Chen Zhongyi landed and immediately spat it out, this time for real.
"fast forward!"
Without wasting a word, Lu Dan in red kicked open the door.
The path that had vanished behind them was rapidly returning, the ethereal grayness faded, the flesh walls regrowed, and the roars of the three vengeful spirits drew near once more.
No one dared to delay, and they scrambled and stumbled into the room.
Lu Dan, dressed in red, glanced one last time at the dark figure chasing after him, a mocking smile playing on his lips, before slipping inside and slamming the door shut behind him.
"Bang!"
As the door closed, all the stench was shut out.
The world fell silent, so quiet that only the heavy breathing of each other could be heard.
The red resentment faded from Lu Dan's body. His hair grew shorter, the bloodshot in his eyes disappeared, and he gasped for breath, leaning on his knees, feeling waves of soreness in his body.
"Thanks... to my roommate."
He silently chanted to himself, and a response came from his left ankle: "You owe me a big beating."
Once his breathing had calmed down a bit, Lu Dan raised his head and looked at the destination he had finally reached.
The interior design here is completely different from the outside.
Before me was a circular banquet hall with a thick red carpet on the floor that felt soft and fluffy underfoot, like walking on clouds.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs overhead, emitting a warm yellow glow that illuminates every corner.
In the very center of the room, there was an enormous, almost exaggeratedly large, round dining table, with an estimated radius of at least 5 meters.
The table was covered with a pristine white tablecloth, upon which were placed exquisite silver cutlery, napkins folded into the shape of swans, and burning candlesticks.
Around this huge round table, there were exactly seven high-backed chairs, no more and no less.
The chair was entirely black, with a very high back, resembling a standing tombstone.
"Seven."
Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was a little tense as she looked around at the people around her.
There were exactly seven people.
"Is this prepared for us?"
Da Lu swallowed hard, looking at the empty plate. "A main course?"
"Snap!"
The luxurious door behind me made a soft sound.
Everyone turned around, and the pure gold lion head doorknob had transformed into a grinning human face.
Chen Hua went forward to try, but the door wouldn't open.
Welcome, distinguished guests, to your seats.
The irritating chef's voice rang out again, this time from the center of the round table.
Only then did everyone notice that in the center of the round table, surrounded by a large bouquet of flowers, sat a clown doll.
It was dressed in a white chef's uniform, wearing a tall chef's hat, and holding a baton.
Please take a seat.
The puppet waved its baton, and seven chairs were pulled back.
"Since we can't run away, let's sit down."
Lu Dan walked to one of the chairs first, saying, "I want to see what this so-called main course is all about."
As soon as my buttocks touched the chair, a hot sensation came over me.
Lu Dan looked down at the pristine white plate, which was completely empty.
In the reflection of the smooth, mirror-like bottom of the plate, he saw a menu with the names of the dishes written on it.
First dish: [You can't judge a book by its cover.]
