Transform into a human

The combat strength of extraordinary individuals has always been a mysterious matter. Unlike the Twelve Talented Individuals, who have clear levels of expertise, extraordinary individuals can only be described by the depth of their skills. The top extraordinary individuals are comparable to constellations, while the most ordinary extraordinary individuals are not even as good as laymen.

It seems that Hou Fan has the skills to rival the top-tier flower-wearing masters, no wonder he can become one of the key figures in the Imperial faction within the police force.

At this moment, Que is losing control of her body. As her every move perfectly matches the script written in advance by Hou Fan, she gradually loses herself. When the play ends, she will become a complete part of the story and become Hou Fan's puppet.

But it wasn't without its gains; they at least learned about the second wonder of the filmmaking world—the script.

Whether the plot unfolds according to the other party's pre-set script becomes paramount. If this extraordinary individual can escape his predetermined fate, he will inevitably suffer a backlash.

The next second, Que's right hand reached for Yue Lai's head, but Yue Lai neither dodged nor flinched, letting the slender fingers cover his skull. However, Que hesitated to exert any force.

Yue Lai guessed correctly; in Hou Fan's script, the protagonist couldn't just leave so abruptly.

Hou Fan immediately began patching:

"The hunter was very dissatisfied with the settlers' unserious attitude, so he intensified the spread of this trend, telling the protagonist: 'If you don't give it your all, I might accidentally kill you.'"

The four men were visibly shocked. The script could be changed?!

This is already the third level of wonder!

Yue Lai quickly withered into a thin, handsome face, and his true form appeared behind Yue Hao. However, Yue Hao, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground, suddenly became emboldened by evil. Despite his injuries, he punched Yue Lai hard in the chest.

Fortunately, Yue Lai had promised Xie Xin a great deal before the ambush, and Xie Xin was now doing its utmost, actively spreading out from its heart, its blood vessels turning into slippery tentacles that enveloped Yue Hao's fist.

The bad cat then realized, "Bro...brother, it's Shi Feng! If this drags on, we're all doomed!"

Although the prevailing social climate has disrupted the character's positioning, it can also make teammates turn their backs on each other!

"You don't need to tell me!" Yue Lai said hoarsely. "This guy's target is you. You're not in his script!"

As a top FBI agent, Yue Hao had an extremely high level of secrecy. Although she helped Tang Xiao a lot in the university town, it was Mo and Dong who were in the limelight, while she herself remained behind the scenes.

Hou Fan shook his head and chuckled:

"A truly great director will allow some unexpected things to happen during filming, such as a bird suddenly flying into the frame or a character's improvisation outside the script."

"A well-placed surprise can actually make a work more realistic."

"And Yue Hao was just such an accident."

He continued to scribble on the book with his fingertips:

Downton discovered that Yue Lai's heart originated from one of his own kind, and so—

"You just said 'appropriate,' right?" A ghostly whisper from behind interrupted his writing.

The person hiding in the shadows finally revealed himself. The spy deactivated the "Shadow Follows" and "Accurate Move" abilities and plunged a sharp blade into Hou Fan's back.

She lifted her cloak, revealing an aged face—Helena Casti!

Yue Hao's mouth dropped open. She had refused to believe Yue Lai's theory when he told her about it, but now the truth was right in front of her.

It really is that old lady who always likes to stay at home reading detective novels!

Yue Hao simply couldn't imagine how Helena, at her age, could become a hairpin enthusiast without ever leaving her home!

Even she couldn't understand it, let alone Hou Fan.

"I considered many possibilities, but I never imagined that it would be you, Ms. Casti, secretly protecting Yue Lai."

Hou Fan clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me how you did it?"

"What do you think?" The old man's voice was as cold as a knife.

"What a pity, I didn't expect the scammer to tell the truth."

In Hou Fan's calculations, Yue Lai's initial statement, "Mrs. Castile, aren't you going to say a few words?" was definitely not unfounded; there must have been both truth and falsehood in that statement.

The truth is that a spy named Zanhua Ke was indeed hiding in the shadows, but the lie is the spy's identity. Now it seems that this is just another form of deception.

When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood. Yue Lai and Helena tacitly used this to escape the gaze of fate and deliver the fatal blow.

But a devastating scene unfolded: although Hou Fan was stabbed through the heart, he was completely unaffected.

The filmmaker took two steps forward, freeing himself from the sharp dagger, and the wound in his back slowly healed on its own.

"You're all part of my story, so how could you possibly hurt me?"

"This is... my character in the play!"

There's an amazing fourth layer!

Although not entirely rigorous, a master of the third level of divine mystery can be compared to a hermit, while a master of the fourth level is close to a great lord!

But Helena was not affected at all; the old lady was as resilient as iron, and the black rose in her hair was extremely beautiful.

Seeing that conventional methods could not kill this person, she immediately shot out thousands of threads from her fingertips, but the target was not Hou Fan, but every blade of grass and tree in this space.

In an instant, the entire space was swallowed up by silvery-white threads. Light was shattered into fragments, casting eerie spots of light across the crisscrossing web, like the densely packed eggs in a giant spider's nest. Every blade of grass, every twig, became an anchor point in this terrifying web, the threads emitting a faint, almost whimpering sound as they tightened.

Everyone immediately felt as if they had fallen into a spider's nest.

Helena is actually going to completely analyze this space by meticulously unraveling the mystery!

"The power of spies is getting more and more sinister the more I look at it..." Yue Hao muttered to himself.

Hou Fan frowned. Due to his lack of understanding of Helena and the fact that the script left room for "unexpected" events for Yue Hao, he had to repurpose the character who was not yet ready for the role.

"The constable who was secretly protecting Yue Lai misunderstood the hunter's good intentions. Coincidentally, the hunter also misunderstood the constable who suddenly appeared, and the two ended up fighting each other by mistake."

Que sneered. It wasn't enough for the other party to control the five fingers of her left hand and the right hand that she had spread out. Now they wanted to push their luck and completely control her. How much do they look down on people?

Suddenly, her entire body crystallized, and then with a "bang," she shattered into countless fragments on the ground. The plot that had been designed around her suddenly lost its target, as if there really was just a pile of broken glass.

Four gates, [May all things be peaceful and safe!]

This trick can prevent the scum from being selected for a short time. The side effect is that the main part will temporarily lose its function. But Que sees it very clearly. She has already fallen into the trap. As long as she does not cause trouble, her greatest function is to not cause trouble!

Victory seemed within reach. Hou Fan had already demonstrated his four miraculous skills one by one, but now there was no one left to deal with Helena—Yue Lai, Yue Hao, and Tang Dun were already seriously injured. Besides, even in their prime, they could not possibly be a match for a Zanhua Ke.

They had long discovered the filmmaker's weakness: this extraordinary method of acting was impossible for him to personally engage in combat! Once the plot spiraled out of control, he would be left with no choice but to accept his fate.

Those who can manipulate fate would surely leave themselves some trump cards.

Hou Fan suddenly opened his palm, and fingernails grew out of the pads of his fingers. The tips of his ten fingers were like transparent cabinets, with ten flames shining brightly inside.

Level 3 Relic, [Winter Window Display].

This relic, specifically intended for spies, was originally requested and approved by Bryce from headquarters. Now that Bryce is in prison, it was brought back to the Red Mansion by Hou Fan, who is now the Attorney General.

He had actually foreseen this day!
