I'm not a drama god

On the empty street, two figures slowly walked out of the grocery store.

"In the end, the old man still wouldn't say what kind of important mission it was." Li Shangfeng clicked his tongue. "What's with all this shuffling around?"

“The bigger the mission, the stricter the secrecy, which is normal,” Lin Xi replied calmly. “We’re both newcomers. Since the Gray King didn’t tell us explicitly when he assigned the mission, Lao Fan, as a regular contact, naturally wouldn’t easily reveal it…”

"Then how do we know when to do what?"

"Didn't Lao Fan say that we should first lie in wait in Ruoshui Prison and wait for the Gray King's orders?"

"Tsk..."

Li Shangfeng was somewhat helpless. This was not the mission he had imagined... Infiltration was the most troublesome thing, and he didn't know when it would end.

The Twilight Society can't be allowed to lie low here for a year or two, can it?

"Hey, Club 8, how are you planning to go undercover?" Li Shangfeng turned to look at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi pondered for a moment, “The Gray King has already arranged legal identities for us. Next, we just need to find a place where information flows frequently and where all sorts of people mingle... so that we can gather some intelligence ourselves and also take advantage of the dense crowds to make ourselves less conspicuous.”

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

"?" Lin Xi gave him a strange look. "Why are you following me?"

"I'm not very bright, and infiltration is my worst skill. You seem quite smart, so working with you will save me a lot of trouble," Li Shangfeng grinned. "Besides, we're both newcomers, so helping each other out is only natural, isn't it?"

Lin Xi looked the seemingly carefree young man up and down, seemingly a little disgusted... But he was right. Since this mission was important, it must be very dangerous. It would always be better for newcomers to help each other.

Just as Lin Xi was about to say something, a figure dressed in Chengtianfu uniform walked straight towards them from the roadside.

Upon seeing the people from Chengtian Prefecture, Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi felt a sudden tightness in their chests!

what's the situation?

They were discovered as soon as they arrived at Ruoshui Prison?!

Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi exchanged a glance. Although they had never worked together before, their eyes conveyed a deep understanding. Li Shangfeng silently put his hands behind his back, revealing a gun barrel equipped with a silencer... Lin Xi, meanwhile, grabbed a paintbrush from her pocket, ready to use it as cover to make a quick getaway after the kill.

Just as the two were on edge, the man from Chengtian Prefecture smiled slightly at them and handed them a leaflet:

"Hello."

"This is the Ruoshui Prison Safety and Prevention Publicity Committee. Let's learn about emergency evacuation knowledge!"

After handing two flyers to Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi respectively, he continued walking along the street without looking back, leaving the two bewildered figures standing there like statues.

After a long while, Li Shangfeng looked at the flyer in his hand with a strange expression...

"……What the hell?"

"Has Ruoshui Prison really gone this far in terms of safety education?" Lin Xi carefully flipped through the exquisitely crafted informational leaflet in her hand, her expression one of utter astonishment.

In addition to using comics to convey a lot of emergency escape information, the flyer also marks the emergency shelter locations in the corresponding neighborhoods. At the bottom of the flyer, it even lists a series of public safety awareness lectures that will be held this week... There are basically lectures every day, and you get a free egg just for participating.

"I've heard that there have been occasional calamity attacks occurring in Ruoshui Prison recently... Is that why?" Li Shangfeng asked, puzzled.

“Possibly.” Lin Xi nodded slightly, as if he had discovered something. “However, it shouldn’t be just because of recent events… Look, this lecture series has already run for hundreds of sessions. They’ve been promoting it for at least two years.”

"However, this is quite strange. I have lived in the Chengtian Realm for so many years and have never heard of any calamity attacks."

"No?" Lin Xi glanced at him. "Nine years ago, didn't a world-destroying calamity attack the Chengtian Realm... and even wipe out the entire Xuanwu Avenue?"

"Um... that doesn't count."

Li Shangfeng's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Lin Xi didn't notice his unusual behavior. After pondering for a moment, she spoke:

"Let's go to the central square first... I see there are several cafes there, we should be able to hear a lot of news there."

"it is good."

Li Shangfeng followed Lin Xi and walked straight towards the central square.

"By the way, about the 8th of the Clubs... how much do you know about that Red King?" Li Shangfeng asked tentatively.

"Red King?" Lin Xi was taken aback. "You know nothing about him? I only heard that he founded the Twilight Society and is very powerful, but he hasn't shown his face for many years..."

"What about his identity... and so on?"

"Identity? What identity?"

“It’s nothing…” Li Shangfeng hesitated for a moment, “Then how did you join the Twilight Society?”

Lin Xi fell silent. He seemed lost in some kind of memory, and after a long while, he spoke with a complicated expression: "A lot has happened... I always feel that there is some kind of force guiding me to join this place."

Lin Xi opened her mouth, but still managed to utter a strange sentence:

"Sometimes I feel like there's another me around me... or maybe a group of people? I can't really say... but in any case, I'm grateful to fate for helping me through this difficult time."

"Perhaps joining the Twilight Society was also a matter of fate."

Li Shangfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

really.

The other members were unaware of what happened in the previous world... and they also didn't know who the Red King was.

Li Shangfeng had met Chen Ling nine years ago and witnessed too many things, so the Grey King answered all his questions according to Chen Ling's instructions... Not all members knew about the existence of the ghost members from the previous world, but attributed everything to a strange fate.

Li Shangfeng naturally didn't say anything more; he simply nodded.

"I see."

The two chatted idly as they walked around the central square.

Li Shangfeng found the boy very interesting and was amazed by his talent. His expectations for the Twilight Society grew higher and higher... If all the members of the Twilight Society were geniuses like this, he dared not even imagine what earth-shattering things they could accomplish.

The two found a coffee shop and sat down, from dawn till dusk, listening intently to the conversations of the customers at each table around them.

"Hey, has your kid gone to the Red Dust Prison for an exchange program recently? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"No... I just sent a telegram a few days ago saying that a great professor has come from the Chengtian Realm. It's a rare opportunity, so the exchange period has been extended."
