Over the next few days Yao Shen keeps to himself as he tries to make sense of his own thoughts, shooting his scenes to the best of his ability, but ignoring all invitations to hang out from the other actors. He doesn't even start any fights with Xin Hulei.
He's too busy trying to understand Xin Hulei to be annoyed at his existence.
On the one hand, he did dismiss the fact that demons make a large part of 'Shizun' -- but the System itself said that was fiction, and to focus on Xin Hulei who is a real demon.
Did the System lie to him, or did it just not know? It has been oddly quiet.
On the other hand, if even half of the events of the novel actually happened Yao Shen might be compelled to feel a little bit of sympathy towards Xin Hulei -- just a smidge.
And if the events of the novel are even a little bit true, then it poses the question of who exactly Xin Hulei is? Just a bystander to all of it...or one of the protagonists?
