I'm not a drama god

"you……"

"you!!"

The child, Jian Changsheng, stared at the ghostly figure before him, too frightened to speak for a moment.

A dark, murderous aura surged in the air, vaguely outlining the silhouette of a general clad in armor. He stepped forward, making no sound, and finally, in those terrified eyes, slowly reached out his hand…

It was pressed on the child's head.

Om-!

An endless killing intent surged into the child's body.

At the same time, a dazzling black divine star shone brightly in the gloomy sky!

Amidst the surging killing intent, one solidified and the other transparent, two souls merged into the child's body one after another. A divine path grew wildly from within the child's body, like a sword soaring into the sky, extending straight towards the Divine Path Star!

Just as the situation was changing dramatically, a large number of figures dressed in official robes poured into the gates of the Yan family mansion...

"By order of Chengtian Prefecture!"

"The Yan family has been operating an underground bank, defrauding people by selling substandard properties and engaging in illegal transactions. The evidence is now conclusive! Yan Xiang, his son Yan Dongqing, and all related individuals are to be summoned immediately!!"

"All of the Yan family's assets are confiscated and put to public use. Unrelated persons are not to make any rash moves!"

When this penetrating sound resounded throughout the Yan family's residence, Yan Dongqing in the bedroom and Yan Xiang in the study both changed their expressions drastically and rushed to the corridor in terror.

When they saw the figures filing into Chengtian Mansion, their faces turned ashen, more so than corpses. Yan Dongqing stumbled to the study door and knelt down with a thud.

"Dad!! What do we do? I don't want to go to jail, Dad!!"

"Keep your voice down!" Yan Xiang remained calm and said in a deep voice, "When I was building this mansion, I secretly built a secret passage underground... If you and I leave in secret, we shouldn't be noticed."

"good good good good!"

A glimmer of hope immediately appeared on Yan Dongqing's face.

Just as the father and son were about to leave in secret, a child surrounded by black energy suddenly appeared in the corridor.

At this moment, Jian Changsheng seemed like a completely different person. His gaze was sharp as a sword, and his face was as cold as frost. Although he was only eight or nine years old, he exuded a chilling sense of oppression…

He was covered with a thin layer of frost from frozen water, and with each step he took, tiny ice shards fell. He casually picked a withered blade of grass from the edge of the yard and held it lightly in his palm as if he were holding a sword.

For some reason, both the Yan family father and son were shocked when they saw Jian Changsheng's eyes!

"You dog...you lackey! What do you want to do?!" Yan Dongqing was extremely nervous.

Jian Changsheng held the withered grass in one hand and calmly continued walking.

"Xiao Jian, right?" Yan Xiang seemed to sense something was wrong and spoke solemnly, "Well, I know your family owes us a lot of money. Dong Qing and I have to go out for a while, so you can go home first... We'll also write off all our previous debts, how about that?"

Jian Changsheng remained silent.

He walked forward barefoot, strolling leisurely, looking at them as if they were two dead men.

Yan Xiang didn't know what trick the child was up to, but he could hear people from Chengtian Prefecture approaching from behind. He gritted his teeth, grabbed his son with one hand, and reached into his pocket with the other to grab the life-saving sacrificial vessel. He was about to walk around Jian Changsheng.

Woohoo——

A cold wind gently swept through the corridor.

The instant they stepped past Jian Changsheng, a line of bright red blood silently appeared on their necks...

Yan Xiang and Yan Dongqing did not immediately realize that something was wrong. Instead, they continued running forward a few more steps until their vision began to drift uncontrollably... Their heads fell from their moving bodies like two soccer balls, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Two heavy bodies lay on the corridor, their crimson blood spreading silently in the cold winter, without making a sound from beginning to end.

On the other side of the corridor,

A barefoot child casually tossed a blood-stained, withered blade of grass into the yard.

“…Thank you.” A complex voice echoed deep within his mind.

"Humph."

The child snorted coldly, his dark eyes glancing behind him...

"It's just a little effort."

……

"Plum Blossom 8, what are you thinking about?"

In the ancient collection of the opera, a figure patted Plum Blossom 8 on the shoulder.

Meihua 8, who was sitting absentmindedly on the grassland, finally came to his senses and found that many members of the Twilight Society had gathered behind him, all looking at him with concern.

"...Hearts 9...he couldn't come." Clubs 8 remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

Everyone fell silent.

The ghosts of Red Heart 9 and Gray King failed to enter the Red Paper Umbrella, something the members of the Twilight Society had already noticed... Ever since they were summoned by Chen Ling using the spirit field, they had been deliberately avoiding the issue and maintaining their original playful atmosphere, trying to dilute their sorrow in this way.

But even the warmest and most passionate atmosphere will eventually fade, and the fact that their lost companions cannot return is one they must face.

They all knew very well that the 8 of Clubs and the 9 of Hearts had the best relationship, almost like brothers... The 9 of Hearts was left in the previous world forever, and the 8 of Clubs must have been very sad.

"Don't be too upset." The 10 of Diamonds gently patted the 8 of Clubs on the shoulder. "The 9 of Hearts... made his own choice to sacrifice himself. This was his will, and we should respect it."

"Yes, the role he played was greater than all of ours combined."

"Okay... I admit that Heart 9 is the most courageous man in the Twilight Society."

"I need to remain skeptical, after all, there's still the 6 of Clubs!"

"In short, Grey Queen is the most courageous woman in the Twilight Society!"

"That's who she is!"

"I agree."

"If Red Heart 9 were still here, he'd be wagging his tail in the air... We'd all be killed by him."

"He suspects that's the effect he wanted, so that once the rest of us are safely in the new world, he'll truly become the great hero who saved the world."

"..."

Everyone offered words of comfort to Plum Blossom 8.

Chen Ling walked over from a distance and saw this scene, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

As if remembering something, he twitched his finger slightly, and a slip of paper appeared out of nowhere, nestled between his fingers...

Before the world was restarted, Chen Ling collected all the "regrets" of the Twilight Society members, and after the new world, she helped them make up for them one by one... Among them, the notes of Gray King and Jiang Xiaohua were blank. They were both from the fourth generation world, and even if they had regrets, they had already made up for them in the fifth generation world.

But the 9 of Hearts did leave Chen Ling with a "regret" that awaits to be made up for.

As Chen Ling slowly unfolded the note...

A name caught his eye:

—Li Wanhua.
