Li Hong nodded in satisfaction, fully agreeing with Ma Su's summary. This fellow Ma Su was indeed an elite known from the Three Kingdoms era, his mind sharp and agile.
With Li Hong's approval, Ma Su felt quite pleased. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a messenger suddenly approached him and respectfully said, "General, the Prime Minister requests your presence for a discussion ahead."
"I understand!" Ma Su nodded calmly and waved the messenger away.
Once the soldier had walked far enough away, Ma Su turned to Li Hong and asked, "Your Majesty, does Zhuge Liang suddenly summoning me mean he has decided to take action?"
"There's no need to worry. After all, we are in the military camp. Zhuge Liang wouldn't dare take action against you without a valid reason. This invitation is likely to assign you a task. Moreover, this task will definitely be a trap. You should agree first, and then we can discuss countermeasures," Li Hong replied solemnly.
To survive in this chaotic world where lives were worth less than dogs and await the rescue of the Supreme God, he could not allow Zhuge Liang to eliminate Ma Su. After all, compared to Zhuge Liang, Ma Su was easier to control.
After their discussion, Ma Su mounted his warhorse and rode forward with a worried expression towards the front of the marching army.
After Ma Su left, Li Hong did not remain idle either. Seizing the opportunity when no one was paying attention, he secretly activated the reincarnation wristwatch on his wrist, trying to find a usable function.
On the reincarnation wristwatch, the app representing modification permissions remained inactive. Other functions like Communication and Query were also unusable. The only apps that remained unaffected were just a few. Moreover, these few usable permissions were not very useful; they were all rather trivial features.
However, Li Hong was pleasantly surprised to find that one app seemed potentially very useful.
Illusion! Using the energy from the reincarnation wristwatch, it could create lifelike illusions within a hundred meters around the administrator. The illusion had no destructive power; it could only blind the enemy's eyes temporarily.
Li Hong had rarely used this function before since he mostly faced powerful monsters and demons. For those creatures, mere illusions could be easily dispelled with a wave of his hand. Additionally, with modification permissions available to him, he could achieve even more realistic illusions. For these reasons, he had never utilized this Illusion App.
But now, in the Three Kingdoms World where there was little danger and mostly mortals around, with modification permissions blocked, this Illusion App might serve an unexpected purpose.
"With this thing, deceiving people will be a piece of cake," Li Hong thought happily.
In Blue Star Huaxia Capital, on the twelfth floor of Baisheng Building within Sweet Potato Films.
Loli Li Yuchen tugged at Soulmate's sleeve with tear-filled eyes and asked, "Where's my uncle? Where have you hidden him?"
"Yuchen dear, your uncle will be back soon; there's no need to worry!" Soulmate comforted her.
Unfortunately, Soulmate's reassurance had no effect whatsoever. Loli still didn't believe him and looked like she might burst into tears at any moment. Seeing this, Soulmate felt a headache coming on. As the omnipotent leader of the Soul Clan, he had no experience in comforting children. He had exhausted all his sweet words to cheer up Loli. However, without seeing Li Hong's figure around, Loli remained unable to feel happy.
Sitting in the main seat, the Great Bald God remained silent, continuously smoking without uttering a word.
"Hey, Bald God, have you found the boss yet?" Lu Mao asked anxiously.
Li Hong had been gone for over half a month. With the New Movie about to be released and no sign of him returning, this was becoming a problem.
Mark, standing nearby, was equally anxious. The Goddess Alliance's S1 World Championship was about to kick off. Li Hong was supposed to host it personally. But now, with no trace of him, what were they supposed to do?
The Supreme God took a deep drag from his cigarette and explained after a long pause, "It won't help if you rush me. I don't even know which spatial node he fell into. If we want to find him, we have to take our time."
With this explanation, everyone fell silent. They understood that if even the Supreme God had to search slowly, there was little they could do to help. After all, they were in no better position than him.
After a sigh, Lu Mao turned to Soulmate and said, "Just in time for you to return. Come with me to the set later; we need to reshoot your scenes."
"Huh? I still have scenes?" Soulmate asked in surprise, pointing at himself.
Lu Mao's current project was one Soulmate had heard about. Originally, he was supposed to be the male lead, but due to an unexpected situation that required him to accompany Li Hong into Nightmare Space, the role had gone to Soul Days instead.
Soulmate thought he had no more scenes left. He didn't expect Lu Mao would call him back for reshoots—did this mean he still had a chance to appear?
Excitedly, Soulmate asked, "What role is it?"
"Don't worry; it's definitely the kind of character you'll like. Nothing bizarre—very meaningful," Lu Mao assured him with a pat on his chest.
Seeing Lu Mao's confidence eased Soulmate's worries. To be honest, he was genuinely afraid Lu Mao would give him some oddball role. Ever since his last performance as Gray Wolf, he had developed a strong aversion to such characters. But then again, this new film was supposedly a Youth Pain Film—where would there be any bizarre roles?
With that thought in mind, Soulmate eagerly followed Lu Mao out of Sweet Potato Films and headed toward the nearby outdoor filming location.
The outdoor set was situated on a rundown street where crew members had already gathered. As soon as Lu Mao took his place in the director's chair, everyone quickly got busy.
The costume designer pulled out a stained green work uniform from the prop box and handed it to Soulmate. "Chief, here's your costume."
Soulmate accepted the uniform and asked while changing, "Wow, not bad! By the way, am I playing a mechanic or some kind of worker?"
The Prop Master from the Soul Clan twitched his lips and stammered, "Well... being a mechanic wouldn't be an issue."
"Then there's no problem! Don't worry, I'm great at fixing cars!" Dressed in costume, Soulmate confidently walked in front of the camera.
At that moment, the Script Supervisor approached and handed the script lines to Soulmate.
Taking advantage of the time before filming began, Soulmate quickly familiarized himself with the lines. After being an actor for so long, he had figured out a few tricks of the trade.
"Every time I stand at the door of Hair Salon, I find myself pondering life." (whispering)
"On such a lonely and cold night, why are there still these colorful lights? Why are the girls inside dressed so scantily? And why do they wear heavy makeup that makes them look like ghosts?" (expression struggling, hesitant)
(Entering Hair Salon, shocked expression as he walks out)
"I finally understand what it feels like to be under Sleep Paralysis!" (tears streaming down his face)
