Chapter 170: [Heart Python]
"Maximum audience expectation for this play: 83%"
"You have obtained one designated draw right."
"After use, you can designate a character from all the characters who appeared in this play, randomly draw the other's ability, and the probability of drawing rare skills is related to the comprehensive audience expectation of this play."
In the void in front of him, pages appeared out of thin air, quickly converging into a play.
Chen Ling flipped through a few pages and then put it on the wooden shelf on the side. Perhaps because the time span of this play was relatively long, the thickness was twice that of the previous ones, but the content was still what Chen Ling had experienced, without change.
Chen Ling picked up the pen and was about to write down the character to draw this time, but the tip of the pen hovered in mid-air and did not fall for a long time... This time, he hesitated.
According to Chen Ling's original plan, he was prepared to continue drawing "Han Meng". After all, he had witnessed the power of [Sin Judgment] with his own eyes, and replicating an entire [Judgment] path was also Chen Ling's goal.
But the problem was, at this stage, did he really urgently need this skill?
If he were outside Aurora City, Chen Ling would draw [Sin Judgment] without hesitation. But now that he had entered Aurora City, crises were everywhere. What he had to do was no longer simple fighting, but more importantly, lurking and hiding... And for him at the second stage, the fourth-stage [Tribunal] was already quite enough. Even if he drew [Sin Judgment], he couldn't exert much power with his current mental strength.
There was another point. For the [Judgment] path, the third-stage and fourth-stage skills of [Killing Waltz] and [Tribunal] had already been drawn, so as long as the expectation of the play was not low, he would likely get the fifth-stage [Sin Judgment] directly... But with his super high audience expectation this time, drawing any skill would have a significant probability bonus, so using it here would inevitably be a bit of a waste.
Perhaps, he could take a gamble?
He drew an ordinary skill just now, and his luck was already bad enough. Chen Ling didn't believe he would keep being unlucky... This time, he would change the character to draw.
After preparing mentally, Chen Ling put down his pen and firmly wrote a name on the paper.
—Bai Ye.
The other cards on the table disappeared instantly, leaving only ten cards lined up. Among these ten cards, three were white, four were blue, and three were purple... representing three ordinary skills and seven divine path skills from the first to the seventh stage.
As the cards flipped over and entered the shuffling state, all these cards were finally turned over, quietly and neatly lined up in front of Chen Ling, waiting to be picked.
Chen Ling closed his eyes and randomly picked one based on his intuition.
A purple light flashed by.
"Skill: [Heart Python]"
"Affiliation: Dao of the Thief God, [Borrowing the Moon] path, sixth stage."
"Character: Bai Ye."
The moment he saw this skill, Chen Ling's heart jumped, followed by a burst of surprise!
Not to mention anything else, getting a sixth-stage skill of the Dao of the Thief God was not a loss no matter how you thought about it. Sure enough... a person's luck wouldn't be bad forever. Chen Ling had bet right this time.
As the card disappeared into Chen Ling's body, his expression gradually became subtle...
This skill should be the "memory theft" that left the deepest impression on Chen Ling. On the ship in the Frozen Sea, Bai Ye relied on this ability to play three Enforcers in the palm of his hand. And "memory theft" seemed to be only a part of [Heart Python]'s manifestation. Its weirdness and power were far beyond Chen Ling's imagination... But the problem was, the consumption of this skill was also terrifying.
A sixth-stage skill, no matter how weak it was, could not be skillfully used by a second-stage. He was very worried about how much this skill could exert in his hands now. If he couldn't release it even after exhausting all his mental strength, it would be a waste.
"Need to find a chance to try it..." Chen Ling stood on the stage, thoughtful.
……
The ink-like night shrouded the sky over Aurora City. A figure with his hands in his pockets walked on the deserted street.
During the day, this was one of the most prosperous commercial districts in Aurora City. The entrance of every shop on both sides was almost posted with a twinkling star logo, which represented the owners behind them, and also one of the organizations with the final power in this city, the Star Chamber of Commerce.
And the target of this figure was the magnificent building at the end of the street, which was the headquarters of the Star Chamber of Commerce.
As he approached, the guards guarding the headquarters entrance soon discovered the mysterious man in a flat cap wandering the streets late at night, and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces. One of them immediately asked:
"Who are you? Don't you know this is..."
"Get lost."
The brim of the flat cap was lifted, and a pair of lazy eyes glanced at these guards. The next moment, these guards trembled slightly, and their pupils began to dilate visibly.
They were like puppets who had lost their memory and goals, standing blankly on the spot, letting Bai Ye pass by them. By the time they came to their senses, the figure had disappeared at the entrance like a ghost.
Bai Ye strolled through the headquarters as if it were his own backyard. The security system that the Star Chamber of Commerce was proud of was like a decoration in front of this Thief Saint.
Bai Ye didn't wander around. After entering the headquarters, he went straight in a certain direction and finally stopped at a desolate courtyard.
His eyes fell on the square small windows on the ground. Below this thick ground was the dungeon of the Star Chamber of Commerce.
"The target is right here..."
Bai Ye muttered to himself.
……
Meanwhile.
Dungeon.
With a low creaking sound, several figures carrying kerosene lamps passed through the dim corridor and stopped in front of a dead-silent cell.
"Jian Changsheng, your death date has arrived." The leader said leisurely. "The torture table for soul-shattering evidence gathering has been vacated. President Yan has given a death order to make your soul fly away... Please?"
The dim moonlight shone through the skylight onto the uneven ground of the dungeon. Jian Changsheng, wearing ragged clothes, sat in front of that moonlight, his eyes extremely calm.
"You can't take me away."
The man sneered, "What kind of dream talk are you saying? This is the dungeon of the Star Chamber of Commerce, a forbidden area that even Enforcers have no right to search. Do you think you still have a way to live?"
Jian Changsheng's mouth curled slightly. He looked at the moonlight above his head and spoke unhurriedly:
"Since they have already sent me a message, they will not let me be searched by you again... So this time, you can't take me away."
The man's frown deepened. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with Jian Changsheng and directly let his men open the cell door to go in and catch him.
But the moment his key was inserted into the keyhole, a white light flashed inside the cell. The next moment, Jian Changsheng's figure disappeared into thin air under the eyes of everyone!
"This... how is this possible?!!" Several people stood frozen on the spot. They immediately rushed into the cell to search, but they could no longer see his figure...
"How did he do it?"
"Oh no, something happened!"
"Quick, sound the alarm!!!"
Just as everyone was in a mess, Jian Changsheng had already passed through the ceiling and landed steadily on the ground...
He looked at the courtyard of the Star Chamber of Commerce where the alarm was buzzing, and stood frozen on the spot.
"Not bad confidence."
A voice came from the side. Under the moonlight, a figure wearing a flat cap was leaning lazily against the wall, speaking slowly, "You want to live, we give you this opportunity... But whether you can live next, depends on yourself."
"Risk your life... show us your value, perhaps, we will give you a new opportunity."
