I'm not a drama god

Li Lai was completely bewildered.

Who exactly was Chen Ling talking to?

Even though there's no one in front of me, it feels like there are many people.

What is the Alchemy Guild? What is the Sorcery Association? What does "the previous world" mean?

Chen Ling is like a fatal mystery, shrouded in mist no matter how you look at him. Even Li Leide, who always prides himself on his intelligence, cannot deduce his true identity from this conversation...

However, it is certain that Chen Ling was not the mastermind behind the fire, and he seems to have a great hatred for the Taishi Si, who caused all of this.

"Lord Red King... what's next?" Queen of Clubs asked slowly.

A gentle breeze swept across the desolate ruins.

Under the deep darkness of night, the brown coat gradually turned blood red, eventually becoming a black theatrical robe with intricate red patterns...

At this moment, the members of the Twilight Society felt a chill in their hearts, and their gazes became serious.

Removing his disguise meant that Chen Ling was no longer willing to keep a low profile. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary person who entered the Chengtian Realm to investigate, but the sixth generation Red King of the Twilight Society and the World-Destroying Calamity of the Ghostly Abyss.

He wanted to use this most domineering and flamboyant approach to reclaim something, or rather...

To make up for the regret caused by his absence.

"You guys go help Li Shangfeng."

Chen Ling's scarlet eyes slowly turned towards the direction of Xuanwu Avenue.

He said calmly:

"I... went to collect some interest for a friend."

Both incarnations of Hongchenjun were forced to awaken by the Alchemy Society, losing their chance to remain asleep... Both incarnations of Yaoqing also sacrificed themselves for them, ultimately being separated from their lovers by death.

In this life, Li Shangfeng also nearly lost his sister because of the Alchemy Society...

Chen Ling must avenge this grudge... and only he can avenge it.

Bai Ye and the others exchanged glances, hesitated for a long time, and then said bitterly, "But... we don't have a physical form now, so I'm afraid we can't help Li Shangfeng."

"You can do it..."

Chen Ling calmly raised his hand, and a diary appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing the familiar diary, Lee Ryder paused, then suddenly bent down and rummaged through his pockets for a moment, only to pull out a gleaming gold bar…

Chen Ling tore off the last blank page of her diary, held it between her long, slender fingers, and it rustled in the wind.

He turned his head in the moonlight, his scarlet eyes deeper than the night:

"Fate will be on your side."

……

The edge of the Chengtian Realm.

Three dark figures carrying a sack darted swiftly through the dim light.

"What's going on? Why can't we get to the planned hiding place?"

"That warehouse has suddenly been requisitioned, and it seems like they're getting new stock in; there are people everywhere! If we go over there, aren't we just walking into a trap?"

"Who would requisition the warehouses at this time of year? Can't the people at the Imperial Observatory handle this?"

"They say they're people from the palace, and there's nothing they can do..."

"What should we do? We can't just carry this thing around everywhere! We need to find a place to hide quickly, or the people from Chengtian Prefecture will find us sooner or later."

"Contact the Imperial Observatory now and find us the nearest hiding place!"

"It's not working, boss! I don't know why, but the signal is down!"

"Damn it!! A bunch of useless trash!!"

"..."

The three knew perfectly well that Chengtian Prefecture was not to be trifled with. Whether it was arson at the factory or the abduction of a young girl, these were heinous incidents that would alarm a large number of Chengtian Prefecture's personnel... They would inevitably mobilize a large number of people to search for them, leaving them little time to escape.

The good news is that one of the three is a divination master, who can interfere with Chengtian Prefecture's divination tracking for a short time, but at most he can only delay it until tomorrow morning.

At this moment, all they could do was frantically search for a hiding place like headless flies.

"Boss, look! There's a factory up ahead; it looks like we can hide there temporarily?"

"That looks like... a power plant?"

“A power plant would also work. It occupies a large area, providing many hiding places. Even Chengtian Prefecture wouldn’t think of hiding in such a place in a short time.”

"Let's go over and have a look."

With their abilities, it was far too easy for the three of them to sneak in and take over a small power plant without anyone noticing. They easily knocked out several workers who were doing maintenance late at night and then threw them all into the warehouse and locked them up.

Only then did they finally put Li Wanhua down from the sack and let out a long sigh of relief...

In any case, at least we've found a place to stay.

The leader took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff when he heard a rustling sound coming from the sack.

Li Wanhua, who had been knocked unconscious in the sack, had regained consciousness. She struggled fiercely, making painful whimpering sounds, as if her mouth was stuffed with something.

The three were already annoyed by the disruption to their plans, and seeing Li Wanhua causing trouble again only fueled their anger.

"Damn it, what a troublesome woman..."

"Third brother, give her a piece of your mind and make her behave."

The third brother nodded, picked up a steel rod from the side, and walked menacingly to the struggling sack... After letting out a cold snort, he raised the steel rod high...

boom--! !

The steel rod pierced the air and slammed into the girl in the sack!

With a dull thud, the struggling sack immediately fell still, and a moment later, a patch of scarlet blood silently spread out from it...

"Damn it! Why the hell did you go that far?!" The leader's heart skipped a beat. "What if I hit a vital spot and killed her?! The Imperial Observatory wants her alive!!!"

The third brother was also starting to panic. He hesitated for a moment:

"I don't think so... I just wanted to teach her a lesson and shut her up."

"Besides, who told her to be so annoying... She should just stay put, right? If she gets killed, you can't blame me..."

"you!!!"

The eldest brother was furious and about to say something when the second brother, who was keeping watch nearby, suddenly spoke up.

"Wait... something seems off."

"What's wrong?" The leader immediately turned around. "Has someone spotted us?"

The third brother was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head. "Impossible. We came here on a whim. Even the famous constables of Chengtian Prefecture couldn't have found us so quickly."

"You...you look outside."

The eldest and third brothers walked to the window at the same time and looked outside.

The small power plant where they were located was situated on a small hill, accessible only by a winding path... The dim electric lights barely illuminated the darkness, like pearls on a black ribbon.

Meanwhile, the lights that dotted the dark path were turning crimson one by one...

It was as if, in the depths of darkness, invisible to the naked eye, a demon from hell was approaching this place step by step.
