Chen Ling's gaze swept over the opening lines, and as the pages turned, he saw many familiar scenes and sentences, as if everything he had experienced in the past few days had been compiled into a play, recorded on it.

["It's you." Behind the wooden table, a man in a white coat slightly turned sideways, "Are you here to get medicine for your brother again? Didn't he transfer to the hospital in District Two?"] [...] ["A Ling, you are already dead, you shouldn't be here." Chen Tan's eyes were bloodshot, he tightly gripped the axe, hoarsely said, "No matter what is occupying your body...

I will set you free." A deep thunder flashed across the dim sky...] [...] ["Don't be afraid, brother." Chen Yan whispered, "I buried him for you."] [...] ["Hello, I am the enforcer Chen Ling...

Are you ready to answer my questions?"] [...] ["Rather than being a puppet for a lifetime, Chen Ling would rather choose death."] [...] ["Monster...

Monster!!" A law enforcer shouted in horror, "He's not human! He's a monster!!"] [...] And the last line was a descriptive one: ["He stood alone in a sea of blood, the dagger gently falling to the ground, as a cold wind brushed past, the whole person seemed like dry grass, falling backwards on the ground."] Seeing this, Chen Ling felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Although he had long been prepared for the feeling of being watched, it was not until now that he truly felt the strangeness of it.

Most importantly, Chen Ling could only see his own lines, everything that happened when he was not present was blocked by thick black threads...

even as the "protagonist," he did not have the full review rights of this play.

"Based on my personal experience, written into a play..." Chen Ling muttered to himself.

As the last line finished, these papers automatically bound themselves into a book in the void, falling into Chen Ling's hands, with a few lines on the cover particularly prominent.

[Act I] [Chapter One - "Heartless"] [Starring: Chen Ling] [Other Cast: Chen Yan, Han Meng, Chu Muyun, Chen Tan, etc.] At the same time, in a corner of the stage, a wooden bookcase appeared out of thin air.

Chen Ling looked deeply at the play in his hands, and after a long time, he walked towards the bookcase...

he placed this play in the first slot on the far left, with the words "Heartless" on the spine facing outward, visible at a glance.

Just as Chen Ling was about to turn around for the second designated draw, a familiar voice sounded in his ear: ["Intermission is over, please continue the performance."] The black curtain slowly opened, Chen Ling's consciousness left the theater, drifting into the void...

"Are you awake?" As Chen Ling opened his eyes, Chu Muyun's voice came from the side.

The heating was running in the room, Chu Muyun had already taken off his wool coat, wearing a shirt and vest, sitting quietly on a chair by the window, flipping through a medical book.

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

Before he could say the next word, a short knife had already swiftly reached his throat, the chilling killing intent extinguishing the candlelight in an instant! In the dim room, Chu Muyun's eyelids twitched, looking at the red figure in front of him and slowly spoke: "It seems that the divine path indeed has an impact on your character...

is your killing intent so strong?”

“You know that An Yan is fake, yet you pretended nothing was wrong and stayed for so many days...

what is your purpose?" Chen Ling's eyes flashed with fierceness.

"I am a doctor, I came to District Three, of course, to treat your illness." Chu Muyun closed the book, "If I had ill intentions towards you, you would have died countless times already." Chen Ling stared at Chu Muyun, "How much do you know?”

“Unfortunately, I know everything.”

“How much is everything?”

“What do you think?"Chu Muyun's mouth curved up slightly, and he leaned towards Chen Ling, "I'm very curious...

how can you remain rational while merging with a 'world-ending' calamity? Or rather...

how are you balanced?" Upon hearing this, Chen Ling's pupils suddenly contracted.

Since their first meeting, when Chu Muyun tried to stay behind, the other party should have already sensed that something was amiss.

In the following days, he had been observing himself, even taking the initiative to subtly inquire about Chen Yan's characteristics...

This man with silver-rimmed glasses, who appeared gentle and cultured, was actually the one with the deepest scheming.

But Chen Ling did not expect that as soon as the other party spoke, he would reveal his identity as a fusionist, and even mention the "audience" hierarchy.

"So...

what do you plan to do?" Chen Ling retorted, "Split my head open to take a look? Hand me over to the law enforcement officer? Or use this to blackmail me into doing something for you?”

“To be honest, I am very interested in the first matter," Chu Muyun shrugged helplessly, "but unfortunately, my superior does not allow it...

As for the second point, it's even more impossible.

If I were to go to the headquarters of the enforcers with you, I would definitely be the first one to be caught...”

“Your superior?" Chen Ling keenly grasped the key point, "Aren't you the divine physician of Aurora City? Who is your superior? The dean?”

“The divine physician is just a role I fabricated to infiltrate Aurora City.”

“Then what is your real identity?”

“...Have you heard of the Twilight Society?" Chen Ling shook his head.

"The Twilight Society is a secret society established outside the nine...

no, now it should be eight major realms of humanity, where all members are numbered according to the faces of playing cards and secretly infiltrate the various major human realms to engage in covert activities.”

“It doesn't sound like a righteous organization.”

“No, we are a righteous organization." Chu Muyun pushed his glasses up and smiled, "It's just that in the eyes of the world, our righteousness represents absolute evil...”

“Sorry, I'm not interested in joining a cult." In his previous life, Chen Ling had heard countless brainwashing techniques from cults or pyramid schemes, all of which were about instilling twisted ideas to control people's minds.

Even though he carried the "calamity" in this life, he had no intention of succumbing to it.

"So, we are not a cult...

just that our ideals conflict with this era." Chu Muyun patiently explained, "And, our salary is very high, probably ten times that of becoming a law enforcer.”

“Ten times?" Chen Ling looked at him in surprise, then shook his head, "But money doesn't mean much to me...

even if I have money, I still need to have a life to spend it." If it were his past life, Chen Ling would have been tempted by the tenfold salary, but things were different now.

His biggest goal now was to break free from the control of the "audience," and everything else was just a passing cloud.

"We also have many resources, and if you encounter obstacles in climbing the divine path, you can seek help from other members.”

“Are there many members in your organization?”

“Currently alive, there are probably more than twenty.""Let's talk about our justice..."
