I'm not a drama god

time -

The jagged hunting knife pierced his palm, its irregular serrations almost tearing his entire hand apart.

Under extreme pain, the figure suddenly awoke from unconsciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a young man in a blood-stained gentleman's suit, gripping a hunting knife in both hands, stabbing him like a mad dog!

The next cut pierced his thigh.

Heart-wrenching screams echoed through the sky, but bound by those red papers, the figure on the rooftop could do nothing. He could only watch helplessly as Lee Ryder swung his knife again and again, tearing his body to pieces.

Of course, Li Laid wouldn't kill him with one blow; that would be too lenient. He dared to use his own mother as bait, so he deserved to be torn to pieces!

The boy's eyes revealed a madness and ferocity beyond his years, and hot blood splattered on his body, making him look like a demon under the night sky.

He stabbed the figure on the roof eleven times before the figure finally breathed its last...

Immediately afterwards, Lee Rider, carrying a knife, approached the bearded man who had called him a heretic.

The bearded man, now awakened from his coma and having witnessed his companion's death, stared in horror at the swaying, delirious boy and immediately spoke:

"I take back what I just said!! I was wrong, you're not some kind of alien at all..."

puff--!

Before he could finish speaking, a blade was precisely plunged into his mouth.

As Li Laid twisted the blade, blood gushed from the bearded man's mouth. He couldn't utter a single word, only whimpering in pain... He simply couldn't believe that this seemingly elegant and refined young man could be so cruel!

Li Laid didn't speak; perhaps he was too exhausted to speak. He simply mustered all his strength and continued to poke at his beard, venting his anger and resentment.

After an unknown amount of time, the bearded man also lost his breath, turning into a pile of flesh that was no longer recognizable as human.

bang-

The hunting knife in Li Lai's hand fell limply into a pool of blood.

He was already at his limit, and now he could barely stand. He staggered forward, leaving bloody footprints with each step, walking towards Chen Ling...

"You want my life... then... take it."

"I'll die by your hand..."

"Not bad."

puff-

Li Laide's vision went black, and he completely lost his balance, collapsing headfirst in front of Chen Ling.

Beneath the dim stars, Chen Ling stood like a detached observer, her opera robes fluttering silently in the wind, her ruby-like eyes fixed quietly on Li Laide, who lay fallen before her...

After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he took out a thin booklet from his pocket.

—From "A Brief Biography of Lee Laid".

This short biography is not the one that Red King extracted before, but a short biography of "New Li Lai De" that Chen Ling has personally written in the past few days...

In this story, Li Lai De is an orphan with no relatives or friends and no ties in the world. In the past ten years of his life, the person he trusted most was his master who rescued him from a pile of dead bodies... namely Chen Ling.

After this period of contact, Chen Ling had roughly figured out Li Laide's personality. This guy was extremely stubborn and had a very strong sense of self, making him difficult to control completely... His repeated attempts to escape were the best proof of this.

In that case, the safest solution is to give him a completely new past and a new personality.

In this way, even if Chen Ling does nothing, he will remain loyal to himself and the Twilight Society, becoming an asset... This is what Chen Ling meant by "making a clean break".

However, it seems that Lee Lai-de misunderstood.

It doesn't matter anymore. Once this biography is inserted into his mind, his memory will be completely replaced, and he won't remember anything from tonight.

Just as Chen Ling was about to insert the biography into Li Lai De's mind, a rustling sound came from the side.

"……Um?"

Chen Ling's hand froze in mid-air. He turned his head and saw that Li Laide's mother, who had been unconscious and lying on the ground, had actually woken up and was getting up from the ground in a daze.

The horrific pools of blood flowing everywhere, the mysterious, mangled corpses—all of this was too much for her to bear. When she saw Li Leide lying in a pool of blood at Chen Ling's feet, she screamed in terror!

"No…… "

"Do not!!!"

An overwhelming fear gripped her mind. She didn't know what was happening, but when she saw the figure in theatrical robes holding something in front of Li Laide, as if realizing something, she suddenly moved forward...

But beneath her left trouser leg was a crude, simple prosthetic limb, already twisted and deformed from her previous fall. She lost her balance and fell again into a pool of blood, looking utterly pathetic. Even so, she still managed to crawl, bit by bit, towards Chen Ling's feet, relying solely on her hands.

"No... sir... please..."

"Please... spare my child!"

“He did do some wrong things… but he’s not a bad person at heart. He… he just didn’t have anyone to teach him, so he made mistakes…”

"If you're going to kill, then kill me! It's my fault for not raising him properly, for not giving him enough love... that he's become like this, it's all my fault!"

"Please, please have mercy... let him go..."

"Please..."

"Please... I'm begging you!"

Her mother's blood-stained hands gripped the hem of Chen Ling's opera robe. Unable to stand up, she could only kneel on the ground and kowtow frantically.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and each time her forehead slammed down, it made a dull, heavy sound. In just a couple of slams, her forehead was already covered in blood!

Chen Ling stared blankly at this scene, her eyes filled with complex emotions...

He gently patted his mother's back, and she fell asleep again, lying quietly on the ground.

Chen Ling did not respond, nor did he know how to respond... At this moment, even he could not distinguish what was right and what was wrong... Whether it was solving the Red Star problem or restarting the world, he needed Li Laid to cover for the Twilight Society, so Li Laid was absolutely controllable and the most important.

But... is a puppet named Li Lai De, whose past has been altered and whose personality has been changed, who has not experienced those trials and tribulations, really the Li Lai De he wanted?

Chen Ling's mind was in turmoil. He planned to stop Li Lai De's bleeding first, but just as his hand touched Li Lai De's body, something gently fell out of Li Lai De's arms...

It was an old diary.

Upon seeing the diary, Chen Ling's eyes showed surprise. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up and slowly opened it...

Wow – Wow –

The sound of pages turning echoed silently under the night sky.

The diary was thick and heavy. The painful past, written by Li Lai De himself, unfolded little by little before Chen Ling's eyes. He flipped through the pages for a long time, but never finished...

A gentle breeze swept across the tranquil earth. As Chen Ling was engrossed in reading, a thin booklet silently drifted down onto the pool of blood.
