I'm not a drama god

"What happened? Was there an earthquake just now?"

"Fuck, I thought I was hallucinating from playing mahjong all night last night... I just thought the ground seemed to shake a little."

"No, isn't our Eternal Realm in the sky? How could there be an earthquake?"

"Did we encounter some unstable air currents?"

"..."

Ash-like snowflakes were falling, and on the streets of the Eternal Realm, many figures were gathered together to watch the excitement. The slight earthquake just now did not seem to make them panic, but instead made them more curious.

At the same time, Tian Xiaochen was speeding through the streets, rushing straight towards the Eternal Palace.

"Eh? Isn't that Xiaochen?"

"Xiaochen, where are you going in such a hurry?"

At the intersection on the street corner, several children of the same age as him saw this scene and shouted in confusion.

Tian Xiaochen didn't have the heart to explain to them at this moment. He turned his head and vaguely replied "Go save people", then continued to run forward...leaving only a few children looking at each other in confusion.

"Attention all residents! The Eternal Realm is about to experience a series of turbulence. All residents are requested to return home immediately and not go out!"

"Attention all residents! The Eternal Realm is about to..."

One after another, knights in armor rushed onto the street and began to quickly evacuate the crowd. The sounds echoed in every corner of the street. The children on the street were also driven by the two knights and walked obediently towards their houses.

"Why are there continuous bumps?"

"I don't know... Could it have something to do with the five big suns in the sky?"

"We shouldn't be in any danger, right?"

"With Lord Wuji here, what danger can there be? Okay, okay, go back to the house and lie down."

"..."

Lord Wuji and the knights had a very good reputation in the Eternal Realm. The residents who were originally chatting and joining in the fun on the street soon disappeared without a trace. Only many knights were left on the street, shuttling through the falling snow, solemn and silent.

At this moment, one of the knights seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye and turned to walk into the alley.

"That kid!"

"Don't run around outside! Go home quickly!"

Tian Xiaochen naturally ignored the knight's warning. After glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, he turned around and went into a smaller alley.

The knight raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and immediately chased in his direction. Although he was wearing heavy armor, he was still faster than the child Tian Xiaochen. The two figures, one big and one small, quickly shuttled through the alley, the distance between them getting closer and closer...

Tian Xiaochen heard the dull sound of footsteps coming from behind him, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead:

"He's catching up to me!"

"He can't catch up with you."

Chen Ling's calm voice sounded deep in his thoughts.

As the words fell, the entire Eternal Realm suddenly shook again, once again breaking away from an approaching space collapse area... and this sudden shaking also caused Tian Xiaochen to lose his balance, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The knight following closely behind him couldn't help but laugh:

"Run? Where can you run?"

Just as he was about to reach out and grab Tian Xiaochen's collar, a metal flowerpot with a sapling planted on the third-floor balcony of a nearby residential building swayed left and right due to the vibration of the Eternal Realm, and finally slid off the edge of the balcony and fell straight down!

boom--! !

The metal flowerpot, along with half of the small tree, hit the knight's head accurately. Even with the protection of the helmet, the shock wave caused the knight's eyes to roll back and he fell unconscious on the spot.

When Tian Xiaochen saw this scene, he was stunned where he was.

He looked at the knight who had fainted inexplicably, then looked at the house where the flowerpot had fallen... His eyes were full of shock.

Is this a coincidence?

No... Is this Master Chen Ling's method?

From Tian Xiaochen's perspective, Chen Ling's methods were so mysterious. He was clearly still imprisoned in the Eternal Palace, yet he was able to control other people's consciousness from such a distance. He could even control a flower pot so accurately and knock out the knight chasing him... It was as if a pair of big hands of fate were protecting him by his side, shielding him all the way forward.

Tian Xiaochen's awe for Chen Ling grew stronger.

After getting rid of the knight's pursuit, Tian Xiaochen did not stop, but went straight through the alley and came to the street. At this time, there were often patrolling knights passing by on the street, so it was no longer possible to approach the Eternal Palace as openly as before.

"I can't get through... Lord Chen Ling, what should I do?" Tian Xiaochen was a little nervous.

"Where's the thing I asked you to get?"

"it's here."

Tian Xiaochen immediately reached into his pocket and took out a black Gomoku piece.

"See the drain next to it? Throw it in."

"what?"

Tian Xiaochen looked at the inconspicuous manhole beside him, his eyes full of confusion. "Just throw it in? What does this have to do with whether I can get through?"

Tian Xiaochen originally thought that if he went to rescue Chen Ling, he would be in mortal danger or face many difficulties... But he didn't expect that all Chen Ling wanted him to do was throw a chess piece into the sewer?

"Just throw it down," Chen Ling said calmly, "The rest...will be left to 'fate'."

"Ok."

Tian Xiaochen didn't say anything more and threw the black chess piece in his hand. The chess piece made a clinking sound on the grate at the sewer entrance and then disappeared without a trace.

The black chess piece fell silently along the sewer, and fate rolled forward like a wheel in the darkness.

……

Eternal Palace.

Sitting on the luxurious sofa, Chen Ling slowly turned the page of the notebook in her hand that was already full of notes.

His scarlet earrings dangled silently on the edge of the sofa. Chen Ling crossed his legs, his brows calm and relaxed. At this moment, he didn't look like a prisoner under house arrest at all, but rather relaxed like a screenwriter sipping tea and writing in his luxurious home.

The pure black and transparent fountain pen gently turned at his fingertips. Chen Ling looked at another page of blank paper, thought for a moment, and then placed the pen tip on the paper again.

The ink from the fountain pen spread across the paper, and lines of elegant words were written:

【Time: 19:45】

[Scene: Eternal Realm Dungeon]

[Characters: Tian Xiaochen, Mo Yao, Knight A, Knight B, Knight C, Prisoner A, Prisoner B, Prisoner C...]

[△The black chess piece dropped by Tian Xiaochen rolled forward along the sewer pipe. After a series of collisions, it coincidentally rolled into the dungeon directly below...]

……

tick-

As a slight sound like stones falling was heard, the two knights on duty in the dungeon were stunned at the same time.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Have."

"Is that the sound of water..."

One of the knights stood up with some confusion, picked up the burning lamp beside him, and looked in the direction where the chess piece fell... The next second, his eyes widened in surprise!
