The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 748 - 746 Opening

Name - Jennifer Bell

Identity - Eldest Daughter

Character Summary - As the eldest daughter of the Bell family, she was mainly raised by a nanny (Ima Bister). Her mother was frail and sickly and died in the hospital when Jennifer was about ten years old. Therefore, Jennifer grew up with a strong personality, later graduating from a very prestigious sports university and achieving top five results in national college competitions.

She resented her father (Fast Bell) because he rarely paid her any attention throughout her life, even during her mother’s death when he only showed up at the very end.

Later, she met her current fiancé (Calvin Frey) in the sports department,

Initially planning to abandon her family name and live with her fiancé, but considering that her nanny Ima, who had raised her like a mother, was still part of the family, and also inspired by her fiancé, she returned to the family’s mansion located in the snowy mountains for one last time to attend her father’s birthday dinner and bid her final farewell.

Script Summary - While waiting for the dinner with her fiancé back at the mansion, a rare snowstorm sweeps in, cutting off electricity and all contact with the outside world.

During the candlelit dinner, due to past grievances, she had a fierce argument with her father, intensifying their conflict. Jennifer, looking at a portrait of her late mother, decided to use the snowstorm as an opportunity to kill her father, unaware that even deeper family secrets were buried within the mansion.

And in this snowstorm, everyone in the mansion gradually revealed their ’true faces’.

...

Yi Chen frowned upon receiving the information on this identity card.

He never expected to draw a female character, and the fact that this character had a fiancé made Yi Chen feel nauseated just thinking about it.

Kneeling in front of him and holding the lottery box, William immediately noticed the problem.

"Yi Chen, did you draw a character you don’t like?

See, I told you it would be better to preselect a role for you... Now that the identity is determined, there’s no changing it. I look forward to seeing your acting," said William as he clapped Yi Chen on the shoulder and then got up, spreading his arms towards the others.

"Everybody, you have the last half hour to prepare. When the time comes, you’ll listen to the broadcast, follow my story’s explanation, and step directly into the performance scene.

Keep in mind, most of the ’sense of being watched’ you’ll feel during the performance comes from the audience, so you don’t need to be too vigilant, but also beware of the real watchers hiding in the shadows.

The construction materials for the mansion in the snowy mountains are provided by the Duke’s Chamber of Commerce, ensuring that Silver Circle patients can engage in various forms of combat inside, so there’s no need to have too many worries if you encounter danger; bring out your real skills, as any damaged walls and floors will repair themselves.

No matter what difficulties you face during the performance, even if you have to be killed, you must continue acting and bring out your best acting quality.

That’s all I have to say; I’m going to the stage now to give the opening speech and set the mood.

One last reminder, don’t reveal your identities; otherwise, according to the game rules, people who reveal their identities early will see a rapid increase in their ’danger level’ and soon face life-threatening danger."

After waving goodbye to the actors, William officially headed to the stage area.

Standing at the central position, the curtain had not yet been raised.

Phew...

William took a deep breath; this was the theater’s first public performance, and he was determined to bring out his best.

Since there was still some time, William planned to do something special to heighten his excitement level. He reached for his belt, lightly lifted it... The "Human Body Collector" storybook was in his hand.

After using it for a while, he had become very familiar with it and could communicate with the evil woman hidden within the story, but he could not change the content of the story or create a new version.

"This is what... caused you to lose your eye, William."

Grape instantly recognized the malignancy of the storybook, as if every word in it could bring disaster to life, and the Evil Sun attribute instinctively wanted to burn the book.

"Yes,

but the book is now under my control, and it will serve as an important tool in the upcoming performance. However, before the opening, I hope you, Grape, could give it a try.

Your Evil Sun combined with my Madness Brain might be able to make some changes," said William.

Grape’s fur fluttered, "Okay... It is indeed necessary to declare such extraterrestrial threats, otherwise the Old World will fall."

"Then I’ll begin... Abyss Flipping!"

William flipped his hands over by himself, transforming them into a pitch-black rocky structure with spiral patterns on their surface,

Grape had also seen this for the first time, although they had discussed it in their chat before.

But upon seeing the real Abyssal State, he was still shocked! He quickly gathered the Evil Sunlight to avoid affecting this Abyssal structure.

With his Abyssal structured hands, he grasped the storybook, disrupting the invisible ’fixed field’ on the book’s surface with a spiral energy field.

The text in the book also became unstable.

"Grape, now’s the moment! Use the Evil Sun to burn away the non-essential words that won’t affect the smoothness of the story!"

"Okay!"

A blazing ray of light fell,

focused on the word ’one’ in ’one coat,’ which, when burned by the Evil Sun, began to twist crazily before finally dissipating. The story remained unchanged, but a space was now empty.

William stared intently at this space, activating Madness Brain! He attempted to carve characters onto it.

Slowly,

’this’ character was imprinted, matching the original text in font size and style! William himself was sweating profusely, as this action had consumed about one-third of his spiritual power.

The Abyssal State was lifted, and the storybook returned to normal.

When William reopened the storybook at the corresponding page,

the altered text did not revert and became ’this coat.’ Though it only changed a single word and hardly even the tip of the iceberg,

William saw the endless possibilities behind it.

As long as he continued to grow and once Grape was perfectly combined, altering the story might not be impossible.

If he could collect more of such malicious carriers like stories, movies, novels, etc.,

William couldn’t imagine the level he would reach, perhaps only needing to be a behind-the-scenes director to orchestrate the birth and demise of a world.

Thinking of this, his spirits soared incredibly high, and he also served himself a bowl of instant noodles, directly crushing it to pieces with the seasoning packet, and swallowed it dry.

While chewing the dry, hard noodles to restore his spirit, he covered his face and laughed heartily.

The curtain that hadn’t risen yet contained the laughter to just the area of the stage, as if multiple people were laughing simultaneously.

"William... your condition doesn’t seem too good?" Grape tentatively asked.

"My condition is fantastic! It’s precisely this excited state that enables me to handle such a large scale premiere. Let’s begin, Grape!"

The laughter faded away,

and the curtains gradually rose,

The double-tiered theater was already bustling and filled with the Audience, some of whom had already signed the transformation agreements and would undergo the formal Chaos Transformation after watching the performance.

The audience sitting in the biological seats praised the avant-garde design,

and William’s enthusiastic voice resonated throughout the venue at that moment,

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience!

Now, please put on the ’Theater Viewing Skull’ designed at the top of the backrests of your chairs. Your consciousness will be transferred to the stage, and you will watch the final performance from a first-person perspective.

Once everyone has donned their ’sensory entry’ devices, I will begin the prelude to the story, and the actors will also appear one after another."

As the audience put on the skulls, much like wearing VR goggles, their view instantly switched to a nighttime snowy scene.

Following the falling snow,

everyone’s view also moved to a massive and complex snow mountain villa.
