Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: The Wind and the Candle

There was only a note in the treasure chest.

"There's really nothing left."

Mallory cursed and hurriedly opened the watch's teleportation app and teleported himself back into the big house bedroom.

The whole script world shook more and more violently, and the walls made a horrible cracking sound and a crack appeared.

Mallory rushed to the wall and pressed the word 'jailbreak'.

And in the subsequent pop-up 'yes' and 'no' two words among the choice of 'yes'.

After turning around and taking one last look at the world, Mallory's sanity fell into a trance.

...

I don't know how long it took, but Mallory sat up from the transport pod.

A staff member came over and helped him out of the transport module.

The hatches of the other seven teleportation pods were all open and empty inside.

"Where are they?" Mallory asked the staff member.

"Waiting for you in the lounge, turn right after the door, the second hatch is." The staff member answered Mallory.

"Okay, thanks." Mallory thanked the staff before turning around and walking towards the hatch.

I don't know if it was because he had just come out of the transporter bay, but Mallory felt very weak and uncomfortable.

After exiting the hatch of time bubble compartment 206, Mallory walked to the right, the second hatch was open, and sure enough, the other seven actors and director Vincent were inside, eating snacks around a table and chatting.

When Mallory stepped into the hatch of the rest cabin, all of them paused.

Then, together, they looked at him with a puzzled face.

"This gentleman, who are you looking for?" Robin, who was sitting closest to the hatch, asked Mallory.

"Grandpa?" Mallory flinched, and he subconsciously touched his beard, and hair.

"This grandpa looks so familiar!" Aisha, who was high on melon seeds, opened her mouth.

Liuyin also looked at Mallory, looking a little flabbergasted.

"He's Mallory," Vincent, the director, opened his mouth.

"No way?" Everyone's expression became overwhelmed with shock.

"It's me, don't even recognize me?" Mallory laughed.

"He consumed too much time in the script, my incarnation in the script should not have advised him much, it seems he is not a person who listens to advice, he has stayed in there and refused to come out, from the LOG file of the script, he stayed in there for 53 years before he came out, which means, he is now 78 years old." Vincent explained to the crowd.

"Isn't the script virtual? Isn't the one we slept in a virtual pod? How is it possible to grow old in it?" Robin questioned the director.

"That's not a virtual pod, it's a teleportation pod, your body cells will also be metabolized normally in the script world, your breathing and heartbeat are also going on normally, your body is of course aging according to the normal flow of time, he stayed in the script world for more than 50 years, of course he will become so old." Vincent continued to explain.

"It can't be true, right?" Liu Yin had already recognized Mallory from his smile demeanor. seeing him suddenly become so old, she didn't hold back and tears instantly fell down.

"What are you crying for? I'm having a good time in there, I have food and drink, and I have real life gun battle games to play every day, much happier than in Stonehenge." Mallory said a few words to Liu Yin, with a carefree look.

A month after entering the script, he already had a plan.

Why not stay here when you have food and drink? Why go to suffer on Stonehenge?

When his hair and beard began to turn white, he had also had the worry that he would become so senile after leaving the teleportation pod.

As he grew older, he no longer regretted his choice.

No matter what kind of life, it is life.

Doing what you like to do, and keep doing it, is a kind of happiness.

There's just no time to become a movie star, and no way to fulfill the promise to Claudia.

Of course, there's no way to make Claudia keep her promise to him either.

Did she really make a promise to him?

Mallory was too old to remember, he remembered that there was.

Then there must have been.

"I just received a message, because he has been relying on the script does not come out, resulting in this script consumes an excessive amount of resources, a large number of running equipment overload damage, the script is therefore the film and television city to 404, I can never use this script to shoot, and the film and television city also issued a letter to prohibit other directors to design similar scripts. Your scene today is now out of print!" Vincent looked at a newly received message in his wristwatch and was distressed.

"He caused such a big loss to the film city, and to you, the director?" Huang Xun was quick to provoke.

"It's not his fault, it's my design problem." Vincent shook his head.

In the past, but all the actors who had entered this script, after leaving this crew, they all called him a pervert behind his back and reminded other actors never to enter his crew.

This led to Vincent's reputation as a 'pervert'.

Now, he met an actor who was many times more perverted than him and blew up the script.

He also banned all the scripts of the same genre together!

"Someone really knows how to play, haha, playing himself as an old man, this thing is so funny." Huang Xun continued to gloat.

In the script, Mallory killed the octopus monster's lair, and was so powerful that he thought Mallory was going to be infinitely powerful from now on!

The result has become an old man in his old age.

Now there's no way to get rid of people, right?

"Director, is there no way to make him young again?" Robin asked to Vincent.

"Yes! He's so good, it's too bad that he's like this." Aisha also echoed a few words.

"The director help him, please." Liu Yin also opened her mouth.

"I think he's fine like this! In the future, he can take on roles like a kind grandfather and help him accumulate more yin and yang, so that he won't die and go to hell in a few days, how good is that?" Huang Xun continued to gloat.

"It's better for you to accumulate more yin virtue yourself!" Aisha disliked Huang Xun.

"It's not impossible to become young again, but it's a big price to pay, depending on whether he's happy about it or not." Director Vincent answered the crowd after a moment of hesitation.

"What price?" Liuyin hurriedly asked another question to Vincent.

"Let's go back to the cafe first, get the summary of this performance done and what needs to be done, then I'll talk to him in detail." Vincent stood up and gave Mallory a look.

The crowd did not say anything else, and Vincent got up together and left the rest cabin.

Mallory seems to have some leg problems, walking not very well, Liu Yin hurriedly came over to support him.

Seeing Mallory's white hair, wrinkles, and the familiar smile at the corner of his mouth, Liu Yin's tears came down again.
