Chapter 43 The First Play

Chen Ling's eyes swept over the first few lines. As the pages turned, he saw many familiar scenes and sentences, as if everything he had experienced in the past few days was compiled into a play and recorded on it.

["It's you." Behind the wooden table, a man in a white coat slightly turned sideways, "Are you here to get medicine for your brother again? Didn't he transfer to the hospital in District 2?"]

[...]

["A Ling, you are dead, you shouldn't be here." Chen Tan's eyes were red, he clenched the axe tightly, and spoke hoarsely, "No matter what occupies your body... I will set you free."

A low thunder flashed across the dark sky...]

[...]

["Don't be afraid, brother." Chen Yan said softly, "I will help you bury him."]

[...]

["Hello, I am the law enforcer Chen Ling... Are you ready to answer my questions?"]

[...]

[Rather than being a puppet for a lifetime, Chen Ling would rather choose death. 】

【……】

【“Monster… Monster!!” A law enforcer shouted in horror, “He is not a human! He is a monster!!”】

【……】

And the last line is a line of descriptive text:

【He stood alone in the sea of ​​blood, the dagger slid gently to the ground, and as a wisp of cold wind blew, the whole person fell on his back like a dead grass. 】

Seeing this, Chen Ling felt his scalp tingling.

Although he had long been aware that "he was being spied on", it was not until this moment that he really felt the weirdness of it.

The most important thing is that Chen Ling can only see his own part, and all the things that happened when he was not present were blocked by thick black lines... Even he, the "protagonist", did not have the full review rights of this play.

"Based on my personal experience, write it into a play..." Chen Ling muttered to himself.

As the last line of words was finished, these papers were automatically bound into a book in the void and fell into Chen Ling's palm. The lines of text on the cover were particularly conspicuous.

[First Play]

[The Initial Chapter - "Wu Xin"]

[Starring: Chen Ling]

[Other actors: Chen Yan, Han Meng, Chu Muyun, Chen Tan, etc.]

At the same time, in the corner of the stage, a wooden bookcase appeared out of thin air.

Chen Ling looked deeply at the play in his hand, and after a long time, he walked towards the bookcase... He placed the play on the left side of the first grid, and the two words "Wu Xin" on the spine were facing the outside, so it could be seen at a glance.

Chen Ling was about to turn around to draw the second designated lottery, when a familiar voice sounded in his ears:

[The intermission is over, please continue the performance]

The black curtain slowly opened,

Chen Ling's consciousness left the theater and floated into nothingness...

...

"Are you awake?"

As Chen Ling opened his eyes, Chu Muyun's voice came from the side.

The heater was running in the house. Chu Muyun had already taken off his woolen coat and was wearing a shirt and vest. He sat quietly on a chair by the window, flipping through a medical book in his hand.

Before he could say the next word, a short knife had already reached his throat like lightning, and the murderous intent instantly extinguished the candles!

In the dim house, Chu Muyun's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the red figure in front of him and slowly spoke:

"It seems that the Shinto has indeed affected your character... Is your murderous heart so strong?"

"You knew that Ah Yan was fake, but you pretended to be fine for so many days... What is your purpose?" Chen Ling's eyes flashed with murderous light.

"I'm a doctor. I came to District 3 to treat you, of course."

Chu Muyun closed the book, "If I had any ill will towards you, you would have died countless times."

Chen Ling stared at Chu Muyun,

"How much do you know?"

"Unfortunately, I know everything."

"How much is all?"

"What do you think?" Chu Muyun raised his lips, and he leaned slightly towards Chen Ling, "I'm curious... How can you remain rational after fusing a 'world-destroying' disaster? Or... How are you balanced?"

Hearing this, Chen Ling's pupils suddenly contracted.

Since their first meeting, when Chu Muyun tried every means to stay, the other party should have noticed something was wrong.

In the following days, he kept observing himself, and even took the initiative to speak, hinting at Chen Yan's characteristics... This man with silver-rimmed glasses and looking gentle is the most cunning one.

But Chen Ling didn't expect that the other party would point out his identity as a fusionist and even the level of "audience" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"So... what are you going to do?" Chen Ling asked back, "Cut my brain open and take a look? Hand it over to the law enforcer? Or use this to blackmail me into doing something for you?"

"To be honest, I'm very interested in the first thing." Chu Muyun helplessly spread his hands, "Unfortunately, my superior won't allow it... As for the second point, that's even more impossible. If I go to the law enforcer headquarters with you, I'll definitely be the first one to be arrested..."

"Your superior?"

Chen Ling grasped the key point sharply, "Aren't you the miracle doctor of Aurora City? Who is your superior? The dean?"

"The miracle doctor is just an identity I made up to sneak into Aurora City."

"Then what is your real identity?"

"...Have you heard of the Twilight Society?"

Chen Ling shook his head.

"The Twilight Society is a secret society established outside the nine human realms... no, now it should be the eight realms. All members are numbered according to the face of playing cards and secretly sneak into the major human realms to carry out secret activities."

"It doesn't sound like a justice organization."

"No, we are a justice organization." Chu Muyun pushed his glasses and smiled, "It's just that in the eyes of the world, our justice represents absolute evil..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in joining a cult."

Chen Ling had heard of countless brainwashing methods of such cults or pyramid schemes in his previous life. It was nothing more than instilling some twisted ideas to control people's minds. Even if he was burdened with "disasters" in this life, he had no intention of falling into depravity.

"So, we are not a cult...it's just that our philosophy conflicts with this era." Chu Muyun explained patiently, "and our salary is very high, about ten times that of a law enforcement officer."

"Ten times?" Chen Ling looked at him in surprise, then shook his head, "But money doesn't mean much to me...even if I have money, I have to live to spend it."

If it was in the previous life, Chen Ling would definitely be tempted to hear about the tenfold salary, but it is different now. Now Chen Ling's biggest goal is to get rid of the control of the "audience", and everything else is nothing to him.

"We have a lot of resource channels. If you encounter a threshold in the process of climbing the Shinto, you can ask other members for help."

"Do you have many members?"

"There are about twenty or so who are still alive."

"..."

"Let's talk about our justice..."
