I'm not a drama god

In the haze, Jian Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.

Head hurts……

Jian Changsheng felt like he had drunk fake alcohol. Although he was awake, his mind was still a mess and there was a faint sense of pain all over his body, as if he had been beaten up.

He fumbled and sat up with difficulty, looking around blankly:

"Where is this...?"

"It's the palace of the Red Heart."

Jian Changsheng turned his head and saw Jiang Xiaohua sitting quietly on the ground, with no signs of poisoning on her body.

"Red Heart...Palace? This guy has a palace?" Jian Changsheng finally came to his senses and remembered what happened before he fainted. He looked at Jiang Xiaohua with a strange expression.

"How come you're okay?"

"I don't know... those poisonous insects bit me, and then they passed out." Jiang Xiaohua answered innocently, "Hongxin's men couldn't lift me, so I walked here by myself."

Jian Changsheng:......

Before Jian Changsheng could ask something, a painful and violent retching sound continued from the side.

"vomit……"

"vomit--!!!!"

I saw Sun Bumian squatting on the ground, his face pale and ferocious, as if he was about to vomit bile.

"What's wrong with him?" Jian Changsheng asked puzzledly.

"Oh, he was tongue-kissed by a toad."

"???"

Sun Bumian vomited for a full ten minutes before a trace of color finally returned to his face. Then he sat there blankly, his eyes empty and desperate, as if he had lost the desire for life.

Jian Changsheng also took a while to relax, and only stood up staggeringly after the feeling of weakness completely disappeared.

As his head shook, he vaguely recalled a dark and strange face... He couldn't remember where he had seen that face before, but in his vague memory, this face did exist... Was it a red heart? No, that shouldn't be possible...

Could it be that I was drugged and had hallucinations?

"Where is the red heart?" asked Jian Changsheng.

Jiang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "He said he would prepare dinner for us, and a poisonous insect would come to pick us up soon."

"Humph, he still has some conscience." Jian Changsheng said unhappily, "We came all the way to see him, and we were almost poisoned to death by his little brother... It would be unreasonable if I don't compensate him with a sumptuous banquet."

Hearing the words "banquet" in the wind, the weak Sun Bumian beside him moved his ears...

He had vomited up everything he had eaten in the past two days. It was time to replenish his food. He forced himself to forget the disgusting toad's appearance and walked straight towards Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua.

"Come to think of it, I just noticed something was wrong here..." Sun Bumian said in a deep voice.

"what?"

"This palace is a very dangerous place."

Sun Bumian pointed at the ground of the palace below him with a serious look.

Sun Bumian had just recovered from the poisoning and had not even initiated any fortune-telling. However, the evil aura here was so strong that he did not even need to use fortune-telling to tell it... The evil aura that could make this auspicious sign feel the danger was no longer just ordinary "evil".

In fact, even if it is not a good sign, as long as a human being stands here, he can feel the strangeness here. The biting cold and the uncomfortable feeling of goose bumps all prove that this place is not suitable for human survival at all.

"Why did Hong Xin choose this kind of place for herself?" Jian Changsheng frowned.

"It seems like we really need to take him away quickly. If he stays in this dangerous place for too long, something bad will happen sooner or later."

Just as the three were talking, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

dong dong dong-

The three of them looked at the door at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Jian Changsheng took the lead and stepped forward and opened the door directly.

The next moment, he was so frightened that he almost drew his sword and swung it!

At the door of the room, there was a centipede with densely packed thin legs standing upright. It was knocking on the door with its mouth like a human being. It was polite, but also had a creepy feeling...

"Damn it, what has Red Heart done to these centipedes? They can even stand up and knock on the door?" After being frightened, Jian Changsheng couldn't help but swear.

The centipede didn't seem to realize how much of a psychological shock its standing up and knocking on the door had brought to the three people. It just hissed softly, then bent down and crawled in a certain direction.

"Let's go. He should be taking us to find the red heart." Sun Bumian walked forward and said.

The three followed the centipede through the palace. The palace was larger than they had imagined, and the corridors were even more complicated. There were closed doors on both sides, and it was conservatively estimated that there were hundreds of doors.

The three of them were a little curious. Why did this palace have so many "guest rooms" like a hotel?

Jian Changsheng wanted to open these rooms and take a look, but he felt it was not appropriate, so he could only follow the centipede and move forward... After turning several corners, a dim room that looked like a special dinner restaurant appeared in front of the three of them.

A long table was placed in the center of the restaurant, like the elegant place where the vampire duke and other royal nobles had dinner together in old movies. Brass candlesticks were placed on the long table, and several white candles were burning slowly. Combined with a row of torches on the surrounding walls, they were able to illuminate most of the space.

On the long table, there was an expensive carved tablecloth, and four sets of neatly arranged tableware were placed on it, including plates, porcelain cups, chopsticks, knives and forks, everything you could expect...

Behind each position, there is a small centipede crawling respectfully, waiting to be ordered around like a servant.

At this moment, at the end of the long table, a figure wearing a bright red opera robe stood with his back to the three people. The flickering candlelight on the table cast his shadow on the wall, swaying silently like a black flame.

He seemed to have noticed the arrival of the three people and slowly turned around...

A white smiling mask appeared on the faces of the three people.

"Spades, diamonds, clubs...long time no see." Chen Ling's chuckle came from under the mask.

Seeing the white mask, the three of them were slightly startled, and seemed a little confused as to why Chen Ling suddenly put on the mask.

But to them, whether Chen Ling wore a mask or not, she was still Chen Ling. Jian Changsheng walked up to her without saying anything, put his arm around Chen Ling's neck, grinned and scolded:

"You are such a good heart! We came all the way here to find you, but we were almost eaten by your poisonous insects... Tell me, what should we do about this?"

"That's right." Sun Bumian put one hand on his waist and started to complain unhappily.

"My life almost fell into your hands... And that toad you sent, I don't even want to say anything... Ugh!!!"

Sun Bumian was halfway through his words when the corners of his mouth began to twitch again. He ran to the corner and continued to dry heave.

Jiang Xiaohua just stood there, scratched his head, and spoke sincerely:

"Heart...we were worried about you."
