I'm not a drama god

Hearing the whispers of Jian Changsheng and others, Chen Ling's heart suddenly trembled.

"That's right..." Jian Changsheng frowned as he looked at the creepy corpses that had been eaten clean all over the ground.

Jian Changsheng had seen a lot of things, but it was the first time he saw a human corpse that had been eaten and twisted together. Seeing this scene, he felt a little nauseous for a moment, and his face was full of resistance.

"This method is too brutal, it's really not like a human... If there really is a disaster hiding in this village, will it attack us?"

"Disasters are inherently vicious and dangerous, let alone a disaster that enjoys eating humans? In its eyes, we may be just like these Jiangtian followers, food."

"That would be troublesome..."

Chen Ling stood there silently, and his peripheral vision had already taken in the expressions of the three people...Except for Jiang Xiaohua, the eyes of Sun Bumian and Jian Changsheng were full of vigilance and disgust, as if they had imagined a ferocious and ugly man-eating monster killing people before their eyes, and they almost vomited.

The breeze blew across the red robes of the Jiangtian Sect. Chen Ling stood there quietly, looking at the corpses left by her, with a look of confusion in her eyes...

When eating people, Chen Ling did not feel anything unusual, he only felt comfort and pleasure. As for the miserable state of the corpses that he sucked dry, he did not care at all. At that time, the only thing in his mind was to eat more.

Perhaps it was the instinct brought by the disaster that paralyzed Chen Ling's self. When he saw the creepy corpses on the ground again and heard the whispers of Jian Changsheng and others, he suddenly came to his senses...

These ones,

Did you do all this yourself?

Chen Ling once had never doubted his human identity. He was the time traveler Chen Ling, an actor from Frost Street, the Six of Hearts from the Dusk Society… Since when did he begin to abandon his human self little by little and turn into a cannibalistic, utter disaster?

After standing in the "human" perspective again and seeing everything clearly, Chen Ling suddenly felt a little nauseous... At the same time, an inexplicable panic surged into his heart.

This fear came from the unfamiliarity with oneself and also from the conversation between Jian Changsheng and the other two just now.

Chen Ling suddenly felt like an ugly monster wearing a human skin mask, standing in front of Jian Changsheng and the other two, still playing the image of the Six of Hearts... But Chen Ling knew very well in his heart that he had changed. The day when he took off his skin, the day when his hideous and ugly man-eating face was exposed to everyone, many of the people he once cherished would leave him in disappointment and disgust.

Just as Jian Changsheng said... I am no longer a human being.

But a "monster".

"Li Liang." Zheng Ye walked straight over here. "How is it? Did you find out anything?"

Chen Ling's hollow eyes came back to his senses after being called. He was silent for a long time and shook his head:

"I asked them, and they said they were just passing by. These things in the village have nothing to do with them."

"Yes, humans should not be able to create such a scene." Zheng Ye had already seen the corpse, and his suspicion of Jian Changsheng and the other two had mostly dissipated. "Don't worry about them. They will be useful when the ceremony starts in the evening."

"……Um."

After Zheng Ye left, Chen Ling silently clenched the keys in his hand, turned around and walked towards the campfire.

Chen Ling's steps were very fast, and the red robe of the Jiangtian Sect was blown up. He walked directly in front of the three people, grabbed Jian Changsheng's collar with one hand, and pulled him up with force!

Jian Changsheng was stunned at first, then his pair of bloodshot eyes stared fiercely in front of him.

"...You want to fight?" Jian Changsheng struggled and said stubbornly, "Come on!! I'm not afraid of you!!"

"How long do you think you can hold on?" Chen Ling sneered.

"At midnight, you will all become sacrifices to the Supreme Lord of the Crimson Sky... I hope you can still be so tough by then."

After saying that, Chen Ling grabbed Jian Changsheng by the collar and pushed him hard, causing him to fall heavily to the edge of the stone fortress with a dull sound.

Chen Ling glanced at them coldly and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Sun Bu Mian finally let out a long sigh of relief...

"Luckily, fortunately, none of us three were injured, and nothing was revealed... Spades, when your key fell out just now, it scared us all."

"That Jiangtian believer seems to have poor eyesight."

As Jiang Xiaohua spoke, she groped on the ground. After a moment, she grabbed a handful of green debris that had been crushed into pieces. From the outside, it didn't look like a key at all.

"Unfortunately, I can only let Senior Jack of Diamonds do it again."

"Is he still there?"

"It seems he's not here. He must be busy digging a tunnel."

"What about the spade lock?"

Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua looked at Jian Changsheng at the same time.

Jian Changsheng didn't say anything. He still maintained the posture in which he was pushed to the ground just now, staring in a daze in the direction where Chen Ling left.

"Heitao, what's wrong with you?" Sun Bumian asked puzzledly.

After an unknown amount of time, Jian Changsheng slowly moved his palm and held it in his arms...

After a while,

Four complete stone lock keys lay quietly in his palm.

……

Chen Ling pretended to follow Zheng Ye and others and searched the village again and again. The other Jiangtian believers searched with fear, as if they were afraid that a monster would rush out if any door was opened and eat them up. Only Chen Ling searched carelessly, as if he had something on his mind.

Of course, the nervous people of the Jiangtian Sect did not notice anything unusual about Chen Ling, and they kept searching until it got dark, but they didn't find anything.

In the end, Zheng Ye and the two cardinals could only come to the conclusion that "the monster left last night after eating people", and then hurried to prepare for the upcoming ceremony.

Chen Ling followed other believers and had a quick dinner.

Facts have proved that Chen Ling's guess was correct. This branch of the Jiangtian Sect is located deep in the Gray Realm, and food is quite scarce. At night, they can only eat a few yellowed vegetable leaves, steamed buns and meat residue soup. But perhaps in order to appease the fear in everyone's hearts, or perhaps because the population of the branch has been reduced by half, the steamed buns and meat residue soup tonight are very large in portion, enough for everyone to eat a full meal.

During this process, Chen Ling also stole a few steamed buns and hid them in his arms. After all, he had not forgotten that there was a group of little guys waiting for him at the bottom of the well.

"One by one, they are all troublesome."

Chen Ling glanced at Jian Changsheng and others in front of the campfire, sighed in his heart, and walked towards the dry well while it was dark and there was no one around.

It's not that Chen Ling didn't want to bring food to Jian Changsheng and the others, it's just that their location was too conspicuous, and these three guys were thick-skinned and tough, so it was no problem for them to skip a few meals. On the contrary, Xiaobai and the others had been trapped at the bottom of the well for a whole day, and they were probably starving.
