I'm not a drama god

"What a mess... Yang Xiao."

Chen Ling in black robe raised his finger slightly, and the boning knife automatically cut the restraints and ropes on Yang Xiao's body. He squinted his eyes slightly, and the crescent-shaped scarlet eyes were particularly bright in the darkness.

Yang Xiao, who was soaking wet, stood up and looked at the strange yet familiar figure in black robes, and asked doubtfully:

"Director Chen...how did you become like this?"

“What? What’s wrong with this?” The black-robed Chen Ling chuckled, “It’s just a face. I am who I am. Why should I cater to your human concepts of beauty and ugliness? I think this is good. This way, every time I kill someone, their expressions will be even more terrified…hahahaha!”

Yang Xiao frowned slightly. He clearly felt that Chen Ling in front of him was different from before...

What on earth happened to him?

Chen Ling in black robe was laughing when suddenly a struggle appeared on his face. He held his forehead with one hand and suddenly staggered.

He took deep breaths, his voice a little hoarse:

"Wait me a moment……"

Chen Ling in black robe turned around and walked out of the cabin, closing the door behind him.

Yang Xiao stared at the scene in a daze, his face full of confusion... About ten seconds later, the cabin door was opened again, and Chen Ling, wearing a bright red costume, walked in from outside. Her original brutality and sharpness disappeared, but she looked a little haggard.

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Director Chen, did you go out to change clothes?"

Chen Ling:......

In Yang Xiao's eyes, he just changed a robe, but for Chen Ling, he had to suppress his second personality with great difficulty... Although he had used his second personality in the Ghostly Abyss before, the duration was very short. This time he found that the longer the second personality dominated, the harder it was for him to suppress it.

Even during this process, he had many thoughts like "Why not just not change back" and "This personality is not bad as the main personality". After all, the thrill of having absolute overwhelming strength and the unbridled and conceited character that will take revenge is just too great. That kind of reckless and self-centered feeling will make anyone addicted after experiencing it.

If Chen Ling's main personality had not experienced so much and had an extremely strong will, it would have been difficult to suppress the second personality...

But this also reminded Chen Ling that she must not maintain her second personality for too long, otherwise it would be easy to get completely lost.

"...about the same." This was the only answer Chen Ling could give.

"But you seem different from before."

"is it?"

"Well... although I just changed my clothes, I feel more intimate now." Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, "How should I put it just now... it was scary."

"Don't talk about me, how are you?"

Hearing Chen Ling's question, Yang Xiao opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Pain reappeared on his face, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with regret and self-blame:

"It's all my fault... I killed them..."

"I thought I could change the trajectory of the nuclear bomb and save everyone like I did in Wushan..."

"Before that, I told them solemnly not to run around and to stay close to me... I have a way to save them."

"I even imitated Lu Xun and floated up from the ground. I called myself Lord Aurora... They really believed me. They came to me regardless of everything and even lifted their children to me..."

"But...but I was too tired this time. It fell vertically towards us. I tried my best but couldn't move it away completely..."

"It exploded, and everyone disappeared in an instant... except me..."

"I don't know how I survived. When I regained consciousness, I heard countless voices shouting in my head. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I felt like my head was about to split..."

"Then, my consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. I seemed to hear them talking in my ear. Then, I don't know how, I chose a direction and suddenly flew up... When I woke up, I was here."

Yang Xiao's fists clenched tighter and tighter, he held his head in self-blame, tears constantly overflowing from his eyes.

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault!! They trusted me so much, but I... I thought I could be the next Lu Xun, but in the end..."

"I am just a piece of trash, a piece of trash who can't do anything!!"

Yang Xiao's voice was trembling, and he kept roaring as if he had collapsed. This was the first time Chen Ling had seen him like this since she had known him.

"Of course it's not your fault." Chen Ling said without hesitation, "The nuclear bomb landed right there. If it weren't for you, they still wouldn't have survived... You have tried your best to save them. Their death has nothing to do with you."

Yang Xiao's chest was still heaving violently. He was too kind and introverted. For him, it was extremely painful not to do what he could have done, or to fail to complete what he promised to others... He was the kind of child who, when he was a child, made an appointment with his friends to go to the movies, but was rushed to the hospital because of a high fever. After he failed to fulfill the appointment, he would secretly wipe away tears on the hospital bed out of guilt.

What's more, this time he has millions of lives on his shoulders.

Chen Ling just looked at him, recalling the dream Yang Xiao had just had... and those pairs of charred hands that stretched out from behind him.

"Yang Xiao, let me see your soul." Chen Ling suddenly spoke.

"……what?"

"That's your Aurora."

Yang Xiao looked at his hands hesitantly, seeming a little hesitant...

Before being hit by the nuclear bomb, he could release a little bit of aurora, but it was very small. However, he vaguely remembered seeing a very grand aurora during the period of blurred consciousness after being hit by the nuclear bomb.

Deep in his heart, he seemed to have guessed something a long time ago, but he didn't dare to really verify his thoughts... He was worried that he would not be able to accept this result.

"Come on." Chen Ling looked into his eyes. "You have to face them, don't you?"

Hearing this, a look of determination flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, one after another magnificent and gorgeous auroras, in a form that was almost condensed into substance, spread outward with him as the center, illuminating the entire cabin!

“This is…” Yang Xiao sensed everything around him, a look of horror appeared on his face, “How did my soul… become so strong?”

"It's very simple." Chen Ling saw this scene and her thoughts were confirmed.

"Because they are not completely dead, their soul magnetic field has been captured by your ability and has become a part of your soul... In other words, they have become one with you."
