From Apocalypse To Entertainment Circle (BL)-Chapter 25: Sian’s Angelic Smile

Lan Qisheng was angry, not because of Sian’s wrongdoings, but because he was worried about him. How would people see him from now on? They would condemn him and label him as a violent criminal. With a sigh, Lan Qisheng thought to himself that he needed to get them out of there first, and then he could think of a way to protect Sian.

The others’ faces were also filled with rejection. They didn’t agree with a mere civilian getting involved in such matters, but deep down, they knew that Sian’s actions had bought them some time and saved them from certain death.

Liang Zhou walked over to Sian, standing beside him and looking at the boy who had shaken the world with his actions...Sleeping soundly.

Yes, after washing his hands, Sian had gone to the couch, which was now unrecognizable because of the holes that covered it. Yet, Sian didn’t seem disturbed and slept there comfortably.

Liang Zhou wanted to thank the boy and comfort him, explaining that Captain Lan Qisheng didn’t mean to be harsh on him, he only cared for him. However, after seeing Sian sleeping, his face exhausted, Liang Zhou couldn’t help but go and bring a blanket, covering Sian with it. He didn’t want to wake him up. At least the boy could rest for a bit. All these events weren’t easy, even for adults like them, and Sian, being just a child in his early twenties, had barely seen the world yet had already been thrust into such a trial...

Ben Wang, his face returning to color and his mental state improving slightly after the fire had ceased, said to his friend Tong Xiao, as he stared at the sleeping Sian from afar:

"This guy looks like an angel when he sleeps. Who would’ve imagined that someone like him could be so crazy? He looks like a criminal—"

Tong Xiao interrupted him mid-sentence: "How can you say something like that about the person who saved your life?"

Ben Wang swallowed his words, but his expression clearly showed his refusal to admit it. He was afraid of someone like Sian, who could attack people and stab someone without batting an eye.

"You—... Forget it. I’m not honored to be friends with an ungrateful person like you." After saying this, Tong Xiao left Ben Wang standing alone and went to stand next to Kim Hyun.

Kim Hyunhad always seemed like he hated Sian, but he was a sensible and honest man, and he knew and admitted that without Sian, they would all be corpses by now.

The same was true for Aaron Wang and Michael Cheng. Even the crowd, who had been cursing Sian, admitted that while his actions may have been exaggerated, they were the reason everyone inside the house survived.

Of course, Marco remained on the sidelines, watching Sian asleep. His eyes gleamed with fear, but there were other feelings slowly brewing in those eyes—feelings that only Marco knew the nature of. As for the three who were almost invisible, they remained huddled together in a corner of the room as usual, not speaking much to anyone, only staring with expressions of fear and desperation, before quietly backing away...

...

Meanwhile, the police forces, the military, and the special teams were stationed at the edge of the forest, watching the latest developments.

"This kid isn’t bad," said one of the commanders.

"But sir, this method won’t work again and again. The terrorists will try to take the prisoner, and they may launch a surprise attack."

"It’s okay. Colonel Lan is there. I think he’ll take this opportunity to demand the release of all the hostages."

"Really? Will the terrorists agree?"

"We can only pray that the life of that prisoner is valuable to them."

"Alright, get ready. Prepare all forces to move. I have a feeling this crisis is about to end."

...

The commander’s words were accurate. Lan Qisheng was about to negotiate with the terrorists. In fact, they had come to this solution before they were attacked, but it was their last option. They didn’t expect that Sian would think of the same idea and apply it so quickly and harshly to pressure the terrorists.

"Alright, now you must know where this is going. So, let me be direct: Let the hostages you have leave the forest, or the person you want so badly will die, the one you’ve surrounded the entire forest for."

"Of course, I know you’re not foolish enough to let everyone in this forest go. So, I won’t ask you to do that. Just release the people you have in your custody—the film crew and medical team. Let them go within half an hour at most, and then we’ll hand over the prisoner."

Lan Qisheng spoke calmly with a serious expression, completely different from Sian’s previous manner. Honestly, many people thought that Sian’s expressions and words were more fitting for such threats. But the person they wanted was closing his eyes at that moment.

Some viewers of the live broadcast couldn’t help but comment:

"Man, how can he sleep so easily?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"I told you, this kid has something wrong with his mind. Who would sleep after being shot at just a minute ago? And look at the state of the couch, how can he sleep comfortably in that condition?"

"I’m speechless, this Sian doesn’t seem scared of death at all."

"But honestly, if it weren’t for him, everyone would be dead. I liked the way he threatened the terrorists earlier. Now, look at the soldier’s speech—it doesn’t seem as convincing as Sian’s threat."

"Suddenly, I want to see Sian act like a villain again."

...

Sian, not knowing he’s once again the talk of millions, was dreaming. In his dream, he saw a small child with white hair, then old buildings, and various scenarios. Many images flashed vaguely in his mind, to the point that he felt dizzy.

Tong Xiao was the first to notice something was wrong with Sian. He approached him and found that Sian was sweating and moving restlessly in his sleep as if struggling, his delicate brows knitted and his thick lashes trembling. Sian’s face had turned red. Tong Xiao felt worried about Sian’s condition, but then he remembered that touching Sian had triggered him before, so he went to look for Wu Hao since he had heard him mention earlier that he had received a military doctor’s certificate when he treated the prisoner Sian had stabbed.

The others weren’t far off but hadn’t noticed Sian’s condition because they weren’t facing him.

When Tong Xiao brought Wu Hao over to Sian, they found that Sian had opened his eyes. Those amber eyes were glowing and slightly foggy, with some moisture in them. Sian sat up quietly.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling any discomfort?" asked Wu Hao, gently placing his hand on Sian’s forehead and feeling that his temperature was high.

"You’re burning up."

"I’m fine, I can handle this," Sian said, rubbing the bridge of his nose. This time, he didn’t forget what he had dreamed, as he had before. It seemed he remembered some of the scenes. After thinking about it for a while, there was only one explanation for it: These memories and scenes were from the original Sian. Perhaps since he hadn’t fully integrated with this body yet, the memories were coming back little by little. This was a good thing for Sian, as gaining the original memories meant he wouldn’t be afraid of discovering that he was a fake.

Sian decided to leave it to time and then looked at the people who were watching him. It wasn’t just Tong Xiao and Wu Hao, almost everyone was standing over him, watching with eyes full of different emotions. But Sian could feel the concern in their gazes.

Suddenly, Sian laughed. His laughter rang throughout the room, and everyone’s eyes widened at such an unexpected laugh.

With his beautiful figure and hair flowing down to his shoulders, no one knew where the tie that held his silky hair was. His amber eyes flickered with a warm yellow hue from the sunlight. His lips were slightly parted, revealing his baby teeth because of his wide smile. The scene was honestly breathtaking. At that moment, Sian looked like an angel descending from the sky.

Who could resist such an angelic smile? No one, of course.

Everyone stared at Sian’s face with their mouths agape.

It wasn’t until Sian spoke again, after a few laughs, that they snapped back to reality.

"I’m really fine. Your faces are as dark as if someone died."

"Don’t say such ominous things, kid," said Liang Zhou, patting Xian’s hair, which he didn’t avoid, only raising his eyebrows.

Lan Qisheng nearly lost his composure. He barely swallowed and restrained his hands from grabbing that tempting devil. The way Sian raised his eyebrow—Lan Qisheng swore he imagined some +18 scenes with Sian in them.

"So, what have you decided to do now?" Sian asked, turning his gaze toward Lan Qisheng, who cleared his throat and said with a guilty tone, "We’ve asked them to release the hostages they have, and then we’ll see what happens in a few minutes."

"Oh, should I add a stab to the man’s chest? Maybe that will make them hurry."

Everyone: "..."

"Hahaha..." Finally, Zhao Ling couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.

As his comrades laughed around him, everyone had a playful smile on their faces—even Kim Hyun shook his head and chuckled along with them.

Sian was puzzled. Had he said something funny? He had asked a serious question, so what was wrong with these people? Never mind. Laughing was better than crying, anyway. At least they weren’t cowering in a corner in fear.

...

Liam was on the verge of killing his subordinate at this moment. The unfortunate man had dared to ask, "What do we do now?" when Lan Qisheng had ordered them to release all seventy or so captives. To vent his overwhelming rage, Liam immediately started practicing his boxing skills, using his poor subordinate as a punching bag.

"Those bastards! I’ll kill them—I’ll kill them all! How dare they mess with me?! Me! Liam, the leader of the Wolf Clan! I’ll make them pay with their blood. They’ll regret ever crossing me!"
