I'm not a drama god

Chen Ling took the letter and glanced at the signature:

——[Red King receives].

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

This letter was found under Jin Fugui's stool. That is to say, the person who delivered the letter not only knew that he was recuperating under the bridge during this period, but was also able to stick the letter under the stool without anyone noticing?

But the place where the letter was hidden was too hidden. How could he be sure that Jin Fugui would find the letter?

Or what if I’m gone by the time Jin Fugui finds out?

unless……

Sun Bumian, who was standing by, suddenly looked at Jin Fugui.

How many people in this world could bypass both his and Chen Ling's perception at the same time? Unless, this letter was originally posted by Jin Fugui himself.

"No, don't look at me!" Jin Fugui cried out in injustice. "I was outside all night last night, how could it be possible... Besides, Lord Hong Wang, I live here by myself, why would I write a letter? It's not a love letter! What's there to be embarrassed about saying it in person?"

"That's strange..." Sun Bumian rubbed his chin suspiciously, "Who else could have delivered this letter?"

"There are indeed people who can." Chen Ling suddenly said, "And there are more than one."

"Who?"

"One is the last corner of my fourth senior brother... The other is the 8 of Diamonds." Chen Ling paused for a moment.

"I've looked through the Dusk Society's information. The 8 of Diamonds path, [Letterer], is very unique and almost non-aggressive...

However, as long as the letter is written by him personally and is fueled by strong emotions, it will be imbued with the aura of "fate" and can be delivered to the area around the recipient regardless of spatial distance.

Moreover, these letters will be discovered by the recipients at the right time due to various coincidences.

Rumor has it that the path of the [Letterer] appeared in ancient times, and that the letterer had reached a very high level. The letters he wrote could not only transcend space, but even... transcend time.

Sun Bumian was a little surprised. You know, Diamond 8 is low-key and mysterious. Few people in the entire Dusk Society know about this guy's related path... Judging from Chen Ling's description of the ancient letter writer, this path seems to be very powerful.

Especially letters that transcend time, in a sense, this is the power to change history.

"The Dusk Society is indeed a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden." Sun Bumian couldn't help but sigh.

"But the current rank of the Eight of Diamonds isn't very high. His letters can only cross space, not time." Chen Ling spoke slowly. "And as I said, this path has almost no attack power..."

"So, is this letter in your hand his letter asking for help?"

Chen Ling opened the envelope directly, and lines of beautiful and neat handwriting came into view:

【It has been a long time since we last met. 】

Although Mo Yao's pen is still stagnant, his heart is always concerned. He only wishes the Red King peace and prosperity like the evergreen pines and cypresses.

Mo Yao currently resides in the Eternal Realm, living above the human realm. Here, jade-like buildings abound, their roofs covered in glazed tiles. Under the clear sunlight, the streams of light resemble stars... The objects here are truly inexhaustible. The inhabitants live and work in peace and contentment, free from worries.

[At Mr. Lou's request, Mo Yao respectfully invites the Red King to visit Yongheng alone.]

[On the night of the half-moon, on the edge of the abyss, we'll meet there]

Seeing the beauty in the letter, Chen Ling was slightly startled, and then his expression became visibly solemn.

"No, did this Eight of Diamonds betray him?" Jin Fugui came over, took a quick look, and his eyes widened. "He gave up the Dusk Society and defected to the Eternal Realm?"

"It sounds like a Hongmen Banquet."

Sun Bumian, with his vast experience, instantly grasped the key point amidst the heap of praise. He repeatedly scanned the words "as entrusted by Mr. Lou," then gave Chen Ling a complex look. "...What do you think?"

Chen Ling did not answer, but looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Just then, he seemed to have discovered something.

Chen Ling's fingertips rubbed the letter paper repeatedly. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the thickness of the paper seemed a little strange. It was not too thin or too thick, but the thickness was uneven... If you use the naked eye, it is impossible to see it. Unless you touch it with your own hands, you can detect a clue.

Chen Ling applied slight pressure with her fingertips.

stab-

The next second, the letter in his hand was torn into tiny pieces, which fluttered down to the ground...

At the same time, a thin piece of paper, seemingly embedded within the paper itself, was pinched between Chen Ling's fingertips. This piece of paper was as thin as a spider web, and even though it was embedded within the paper, it didn't appear to have any flaws.

On this thin piece of paper, a line of tiny, faint words caught Chen Ling's eye:

[Lord Red King, Mo Yao was forced to write this letter]

[I will die without regrets, eternal danger, do not set foot here]

After seeing these two lines of words, Chen Ling's slightly frowned brows finally slowly relaxed.

"It seems...he didn't betray me."

"Pure kidnapping, right?" Jin Fugui spat. "This Wuji Jun just wants to lure you over?"

"Speaking of which, has there been any traitor in the Twilight Society so far?" Sun Bumian seemed to have thought of something and looked at Chen Ling in confusion.

"No." Chen Ling shook his head. "We were the only ones who instigated rebellion, but among those who joined the Twilight Society, there has never been a traitor."

Chen Ling had read some information about the Twilight Society from the Gray King. Since the fifth generation actor Wuming established the Twilight Society, they had suffered casualties, but there had never been a traitor.

"Are we so united?"

Sun Bumian was a little surprised. He had lived for so many years and had seen so many betrayals and separations, but an organization like the Twilight Society that had no traitors was quite rare.

"Well, maybe it's because..."

Chen Ling opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"...Nothing, let's first find a way to rescue the Eight of Diamonds."

"But, do you really want to go there in person?"

"Ah."

"Is it too dangerous?"

"It's clearly written in the letter that Lou Yu wants to see me, and 'alone.'" Chen Ling said slowly, "This may be a Hongmen Feast, but... he may not be too hostile to me."

Sun Bumian raised his eyebrows, seemingly unable to understand Chen Ling's train of thought: "Are you too optimistic? How can you be sure he doesn't want to kill you?"

Chen Ling didn't answer. In his mind, he suddenly recalled the last time at the end of the archive, Lou Yu had killed himself in the next world with his own hands, and then looked at him with those complicated and bitter eyes...

His voice echoed in Chen Ling's ears again:

"Humanity does not need Wuji Jun, and Wuji Jun should not exist..."

"Chen Ling..."

"From now on, it's up to you."
