"Well, then I will be straightforward, I will use the way that this is a script accident and you are an innocent victim of this accident to file an application to Film City to help you restore your body to a young state. In this way, I will be punished to a certain extent, and Film City will have a high chance of approving the application."
"The teleportation pod retains all the state data of your body before teleporting into the script, and they will use that complete set of state data for the repair of the cellular aging aspect of your body."
"This will lead to one result."
"Your body will revert to the state it was in before you teleported and hadn't yet built your muscles."
"There is also a great possibility that your muscle cells will lose some, if not all, of their muscle memory."
"Your memory may also be damaged, or even severely damaged."
Vincent paused here.
"Then wouldn't I have done all this for nothing?" Mallory sighed.
"I'm going to get to the point next, so listen carefully." Vincent got a serious expression.
"Okay." Mallory sat upright and listened.
"The extent of your muscle memory loss and memory impairment during the repair process will depend on how long you can remain awake while being repaired."
"If you can stay awake the entire time, you can minimize that loss."
"If you pass out uncontrollably as soon as you enter, then the loss value will be highest."
"Staying awake in the cell repair chamber is a very difficult thing, and you can only rely on your own will."
"In addition, staying awake in the cell repair chamber will have some very strong negative effects, which may cause your body state, cells to be restored to a young state, but these cells will accelerate aging later on, leaving you still without a few years to live."
"Passing out directly is the safest way to definitely not have these negative effects."
"It's up to you to choose whether to try to rejuvenate your body or try to retain the muscle memory you've trained."
"By the way, one last word with you, after advancing to the movie star, it is possible to exchange points for longevity."
Vincent ended his explanation.
"About how long will the cell repair last?" Mallory thought of a question out.
"About four or five hours, right? It could be longer, it could be shorter."
"The script has been in an accident before, right?" Mallory tried a question to Vincent, who otherwise couldn't have known so much about this.
"This type of script, collectively known as cultivated scripts, early these cultivated scripts produced using time bubbles have had many accidents, such as actors accidentally entered the time loop and so on, rescued when already aged beyond recognition, so the film city for this also has a certain rescue experience." Vincent returned Mallory a few words in a very general way.
"So, when can I receive the restoration?" Mallory asked another question to Vincent.
"When the approval of my application comes through, maybe tomorrow at the earliest? After you get back to Stonehenge, if a helicopter hasn't gone over to pick you up in more than three days, that should be when the application is approved." Vincent answered Mallory.
"Okay."
...
"You can become young again, right?"
On the way to the airport, Liu Yin asked Mallory.
Everyone else looked at Mallory together.
"There is some hope, it may not be possible, moreover, all those muscles developed in the script and those skills learned may be lost." Mallory had a depressed look on his face.
"What do you care about that when you can be young again? We can start all over again." Liuyin comforted Mallory a few words.
"Yes, think about it." Aisha and Robin and others also comforted Mallory.
Huang Xun wanted to gloat a few words, but thought better of it.
What if Mallory really becomes younger?
What if a script falls into his hands again?
But, look at him become so old, a face of wrinkles, why is so happy?
Huang Xun couldn't help but laugh at the window.
"Nuts!" Robin cursed at Huang Xun.
...
Security check, boarding.
Each return to their own pillar.
Back at the top of Stonehenge again after more than fifty years.
Mallory did not feel a lot of emotions.
He just looked at the sunset in the distance, like an old man in his twilight, and remembered his long life.
A life of almost only one thing.
That is to shoot guns.
Although there were some other things he did in the early days, but in this script, he spent the longest time in the gunfighting training ground, accounting for almost ninety percent or more.
He did not believe that the battlefield sniffing angle, shooting accuracy, and almost pure mastery of various weapons that he had trained by immersing himself for decades, would be forgotten in the future restoration.
Then there were the free-for-all skills learned in the last few years.
"Isn't it just a matter of trying to stay awake?"
Mallory had already had experience with this.
He's managed to stay awake in near-death states, big deal, just one more time.
He would try to keep himself awake the whole time and retain as much of that muscle memory, and brain memory, as possible.
The long years of hardship have persevered, what do you care about a few hours of repair time?
Looking at the sunset, Mallory gained a lot more insight into life.
The mentality of an old man is different from that of a young man after all.
I wonder what his mentality will be after he changes from an old man back to a young man?
The life of a person is long, but short, but very short.
Decades of years pass by in a flash.
Who can have this chance to start over again?
Mallory feels lucky to be where he is now.
The real world that was once there is now very far away.
He feels that his life, already belongs here, bound to this stone pillar.
He can never go back to that once real world.
Even if he has the opportunity to go back, he may be like the choice made in the "Time Prison" script.
Remain behind.
The sun was setting and it was slowly getting dark.
Like all old people, Mallory faltered and lay down.
Lying on the top of the cold stone pillar.
After lying down, the joints of the whole body are a little sore.
It should be due to overtraining.
Or perhaps, it is purely because of the aging of the body.
All organs are irreversibly degenerating and failing.
In the long river of time, human life is too short.
By the way, Vincent seems to have said that you can exchange points for life after becoming a movie star?
Did he say that?
Mallory seriously recalled some.
It seems to have been said.
I'm getting old and my memory is failing me.
I hope that application will be approved as soon as possible.
Hopefully a helicopter will be here tomorrow to pick him up.
He still likes to be young.
How nice to be young!
Waking up every morning standing tall and vibrant.
When you see a pretty girl like Anna or Claudia, you can't help but want to touch.
