Chapter 215 I Am Me
"Hmm."
He hummed lightly.
After a moment of silence, the unknown figure in the bright red robe spoke again:
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you anymore... However, the scope of this field is only seven major areas. Outside the seven major areas, things that have happened cannot be tampered with. Do you understand?"
"I understand." The voice was still quiet and gentle.
After a long sigh, the figure in the bright red robe walked forward slowly and gently touched his face with his fingertips...
A face that seemed to have no thickness was lightly attached to his face. When the face was attached, his body was visibly taller, as if he had completely turned into another person.
After hesitating for a moment, the figure took off his red robe and gently put it on him.
"If one day you start to feel confused about yourself, come to me..."
"We'll wait for you in Xidao Ancient Treasures."
He nodded: "Okay."
The figure turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped as if he thought of something... He slowly turned his head and spoke in a low and cold voice:
"However, if the last person to come is "Chao"... I will kill you with my own hands. "
...
The next moment, the surrounding scene suddenly twisted, as if it was torn apart by something, and the memory picture collapsed in an instant!
Unprecedented pain surged into his heart, and the man in red suddenly opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream!
In the void in front of him, the countless black palms swallowed up all the other memory fragments, and the wisps of white smoke were crushed in their hands and completely annihilated... Thousands of souls disappeared under their eyes.
After doing all this, those palms disappeared as if they had never appeared.
At this moment, the man in red was still standing on the familiar stage. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands with a complicated expression.
"I... am Chen Yan? "
He kept thinking about the conversation in his mind. Although he didn't see any pictures and didn't have much other information, there were only a few characters on the scene. After thinking about it, he seemed to be "Chen Yan" who was substituted for "Chen Ling"?
But who was the man in the red robe? Why did he appear there? And he claimed to be his master?
Also, what was the "mockery" he mentioned?
Is it the audience?
One mystery after another lingered in his mind. He stayed on the stage for a long time like a sculpture. At this moment, a light sound came from the side.
Click--
That was the sound of a book falling to the ground.
He came to his senses and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. It was the bookshelf where he placed the repertoire... For some reason, a repertoire slid down from the bookshelf.
He subconsciously walked forward and picked up the play. On the cover of the script, several huge characters were extremely conspicuous:
[First Play]
[The Initial Chapter - "Wu Xin"]
[Starring: Chen Ling]
When he saw the last line, his body shook and his pupils shrank slightly... At this moment, it seemed that an idea was about to surge out of his mind, but it disappeared in an instant, and he could not remember it no matter what... It was as if something in his heart was stopping him from thinking more deeply.
"No..."
After an unknown amount of silence, he shook his head, "I am Chen Ling."
He looked down at his reflection on the screen and spoke again, his tone gradually becoming firmer,
"No matter who I was, I am Chen Ling now... No one can deceive me, no one can influence me, I am me."
Chen Ling put the first play back on the bookshelf, and there was no more haze and confusion in his eyes. Whether it was Chen Yan or Chen Ling, they were just people in the play... Now he was standing on this stage. If he felt that he was Chen Ling, then he was Chen Ling.
When he turned around, his fingertips tore at his chin, and Chen Ling's face reappeared under his skin. His bright red robe fluttered slightly with his steps;
He returned to the center of the stage.
"This farce should end."
Chen Ling looked down at the screen. At this moment, the audience's expectation value had dropped to 14%, returning to the lowest level in history... But the situation was far worse than that.
[Audience expectation value -1]
[Current expectation value: 13%]
Chen Ling's face suddenly darkened!
...
Star Chamber of Commerce.
Scarlet clouds rolled in the sky, and a paper sun was suspended above the red clouds. As the paper surface cracked, it slowly opened like an empty eye staring at the world...
When the pupil opened, all the creatures in the manor, no matter where they were, no matter whether they saw the eye or not, suddenly felt unprecedented palpitations, like the instinctive fear from the deepest part of life, which began to erode their reason bit by bit.
"What...what is that?"
In the building with the most stringent security in the Star Chamber of Commerce, Yan Xishou hid by the window, looking at the pupil hanging high above the red cloud, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"It's a disaster... a sixth-level disaster!" The old housekeeper's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "How could a disaster happen in Aurora City..."
"It's that Chen Ling! He is a disaster!" Yan Xishou looked at the Chamber of Commerce being razed to the ground, grabbed his hair frantically with both hands, and looked extremely annoyed, "Damn it, why did I have to mess with him... What kind of monster is he?!"
The Star Chamber of Commerce did have some turmoil before, but it was just a person escaping from prison, or a reporter tracing it to organ trading. The matter was big or small... But it happened that in the end, the entire Star Chamber of Commerce was going to be razed to the ground. This is not just a small mistake!
When his father comes back and finds that the Star Chamber of Commerce is gone, it will no longer be a question of whether he can inherit it... He will definitely be beaten to death by his father himself!
"Don't worry, young master." The old butler comforted, "We are far away from the battlefield, and this building is protected at the level of a shelter. We will be fine if we stay here..."
As soon as the old butler finished speaking, a gaze from the red cloud swept over, and the next moment, everything around them was glowing with a strange red light.
The thick walls were visibly thin, as if they were fluttering in the wind like paper. The solid and cold marble floor began to lose its texture inexplicably, and the gaps between the bricks seemed to become hand-painted straight lines, crooked... Even the window in front of the two people gradually grew fangs, like the open mouth of a ferocious beast.
At this moment, the two people looked like food trapped in the mouth of a beast, as if they would be chewed up in the next moment.
The changes in front of them were completely beyond their cognition. This building that the Star Chamber of Commerce was proud of suddenly turned into a monster of unknown origin. Yan Xishou sat down on the ground with a buttock, looking around with horror in his eyes!
The gorgeous chandelier turned into an organ similar to tonsils, and began to vibrate rapidly with the hurricane outside the window, and the low roar was like thunder, rolling and rumbling!
The eardrums of Yan Xishou and the old housekeeper were torn in an instant, and they crawled on the ground in pain, with blood flowing out of their ears...
