Chapter 328 - 328: The Sacrifice Begins
[Substitution] had two uses.
One was to use it on himself and use it passively, so that the people around him would subconsciously have a certain sense of identity with his current identity.
The second method was to cast it on an unsuspecting target under certain circumstances, allowing the target to subconsciously assume their new identity.
As for the second usage, it was only after Ji Ruo obtained the title of [Super Director] that it appeared.
As a director, he was able to make the ‘actors’ perform according to his own thoughts. Combined with the [Substitution], Ji Ruo didn’t even need to communicate with the ‘actors’ to make them subconsciously assume the identity of ‘actress’.
They didn’t even need to know that they were actors.
In the middle of the square, Old Lauder was praying.
“Kyle, please bless me. I hope everything goes well.”
Henry said worriedly,”That person’s brain doesn’t seem to be normal…” Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be deliberately guiding us. After that foreigner was brought into the noble’s manor, I never saw that guy again.”
The so-called ‘that guy’ referred to Ji Ruo’s identity as a local.
“What scheme?”
Old Lauder glanced at Henry.” We lowly people have nothing but our lives. If someone is really plotting against us, what are they after?’”‘
Henry scratched his head.
“Regardless of whether we were tricked or not, this year’s offerings are ready. Although it might not be our turn, at least we don’t have to worry about it this year.
We didn’t lose anything. Why are you thinking so much? Just do what you should do.”
“Yes.”
The two of them continued to get busy.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. A rider rode his horse and arrived at the square.
“Hurry up. The old master said that the celebration is set for tomorrow. Everything must be prepared by today!”
Everyone quickly agreed.
After the cavalryman finished informing them, he turned his horse around and left the square in a hurry.
Old Lauder heaved a long sigh of relief.” Praise be to Kyle. The date of the celebration has been confirmed. That foreigner must have been locked up and will be sent away tonight. We can finally rest assured.”
He and Henry got busy with their backs facing each other. Henry suddenly asked, “”Hey, why do you think we have to sacrifice to the great Kyle every year? Does Kyle really exist?”
“What are you talking about?”
“How dare you doubt the great Kyle?” Old Lauder said angrily. Kyle was a great god. Of course he existed!”
“I’m just suddenly a little puzzled. What did the great Kyle do for us…Have you seen Kyle?”
“No, everyone who saw Kyle is dead.’”‘ I don’t know what Kyle has done,” Old Lauder said after a pause.” But he is a powerful and mysterious god. Allowing us to believe in him is already the greatest gift to us.””
Old Lauder and Henry still didn’t know that they had subconsciously assumed the identity of an ‘actor’ at this moment. They turned their backs to each other and chatted while they busied themselves.
The topic of conversation revolved around the power and mystery of Kyle, which was the key material that Ji Ruo needed.
This was a brief introduction of the enemy’s situation. Its purpose was to introduce the audience to the strength of the enemy. It was very important.
Ji Ruo carried the camera and surrounded the two ‘actors’ with his identity as a ‘super director’. The camera was almost pointed at their faces, but he was not discovered.
Filming was like this. For a good film, the director and the camera would never appear in the official film, and the actors in the film would never notice the director and the camera….
A moment later, Ji Ruo left the square after obtaining the materials he wanted. He took out a Dimensional Door and returned to the dungeon, tying himself up again.
“Meow -(Master, what are we doing?)
Rosie finally couldn’t help but ask.
At first, she thought that Ji Ruo only wanted to take Short videos, just like the ones she usually saw on her phone, which looked very interesting.
However, Ji Ruo’s filming process was very boring, and the content of the filming was not interesting.
Moreover, after shooting so many photos, Ji Ruo did not publish them. He was only doing post-processing, editing, and editing.
“I’m just trying.”
Ji Ruo explained,” According to what the God of Theft said before, it’s not difficult to condense a divinity and become a god. The simplest way is to spread your name and let more and more people know about you. Subconsciously, you’ll fantasize about yourself. When these fantasies accumulate to a certain extent, you should be able to condense a divinity…” “Meow!” Luo Qian suddenly realized,”Master, do you want to become a god?)
“No.” Ji Ruo shook his head slightly.” We’re here on a mission. We’re mainly here to investigate the basic situation of this mystic realm and see if we can establish diplomatic relations with Great Xia…” Mystic realms with humans were still relatively rare.
Of course, if he could really become a god…Shhh! Don’t talk, someone’s coming!”
Footsteps sounded, and Ji Ruo quickly pretended to be angry.
“Jonathan! Jonathan! How dare you do such a thing to a passing traveler?
You’re a demon!”
“Shut up!”
It was not Jonathan, but the cold butler.
The butler shot a glance at the knight behind him and said, “”lt’s getting dark, take him away.”
“Yes, sir!”
Ji Ruo struggled and roared, but he couldn’t break free from the ropes.
“Behave yourself! ”
The knight used the hilt of his sword to smash Ji Ruo’s head with a loud clang.
The knight was stunned.
This feeling, this hardness, this voice…Something seemed to be wrong!
Seeing this, Ji Ruo rolled his eyes and fainted.
” The sacrifice is ready,” the butler urged.” Hurry up and offer it to Kyle.”‘
“Yes, sir!”
Ji Ruo then felt his body being lifted up, moved, and finally thrown somewhere.
There was a fishy smell all around him.
Ji Ruo quietly opened her eyes and found herself thrown into a pile of tied animals.
There were wooden planks above his head, under his feet, and around him. The interior space was not very big.
Before Ji Ruo could figure out where he was, he heard the sound of a whip and the neighing of a horse. Ji Ruo felt that the place where he was was moving.
Ji Ruo suddenly realized that he had been loaded onto a carriage.
The carriage sped forward and soon left Rouen Town.
After about twenty minutes, the carriage stopped, and the sound of armor colliding could be heard.
Ji Ruo quickly closed her eyes and pretended to faint.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, no one came to check on the situation.
Puzzled, Ji Ruo pushed open the closed door of the carriage, but the driver and the horse were long gone.
Ji Ruo scratched his head. Don’t you guys even set up a plate for your offerings?”
