Chapter 307 Beauty

Buzz——!

An invisible magnetic field instantly opened up from outside the city, like a hurricane sweeping across Aurora City!

Chen Ling felt a burning sensation sweeping across his cheeks, followed by an even harsher cold... The aurora shrouding the city completely disappeared, and the cold wind from the Forbidden Sea blew into Aurora City.

"... Is it snowing?" Wen Shilin muttered to himself.

Chen Ling looked up and saw that the sky, which should have been flowing with aurora, was now covered by snowflakes, slowly falling in the cold wind... Unlike the sharp-edged snowflakes on weekdays, the surface of these snowflakes was like an unpredictable particle group, and the shape was different every minute and every second.

Even more strange, these snowflakes... were black.

Chen Ling raised his hand and caught a black snowflake, from which he felt a familiar breath.

At this moment, Chen Ling seemed to be back in the Wisteria Café, with frost covering the floor-to-ceiling glass beside him. Opposite him, Aurora Jun was slowly holding a steaming cup of coffee and smiling at him.

"...It's Aurora Lord." Chen Ling looked up at the sky, "Aurora Lord's soul turned into heavy snow, covering Aurora City."

As these snowflakes fell from the sky, in the dead and cold city, wisps of faint aurora floated from the ground, slowly and fluttering up to the sky in the opposite direction of the falling snowflakes.

The black snow was falling, and the aurora was rising;

Chen Ling stared at this scene in a daze. He knew that what was falling was Aurora Lord's soul, and what was rising... was the salvation of the three million residents of Aurora City.

Buzz——!!

A roar came from behind him. Chen Ling looked back and saw that the boundary train parked on the platform was whistling, steam slowly rising from the dark chimney, and a layer of ice had formed on the outer surface of the train.

As the aurora disappeared, the cold tide of the forbidden sea completely poured into the city. At this moment, the temperature dropped again. If the boundary train did not leave, it might never leave again.

"Mr. Wen, you..." Chen Ling turned around and was about to say something to Wen Shilin, but suddenly he was stunned.

Wen Shilin's eyelashes were covered with ice crystals, his face was as pale as paper, and only a faint heat was still wafting from his nose... Even so, his eyes were still staring at the black snow and the aurora, as if he didn't hear the train whistle behind him.

Chen Ling frowned, and he pushed Wen Shilin, and the latter's clothes fell on the surface of fine ice.

"Mr. Wen, you should go." Chen Ling said solemnly.

Wen Shilin is an ordinary person after all, unlike Chen Ling who has the [Blood Clothes] to protect his body. He can't survive for long in such a sudden drop in temperature. If he doesn't get on the train, he will be frozen to death.

It was not until this time that Wen Shilin came back to his senses. He stood up from the steps tremblingly, looking at the train with a complicated look.

"You should go too." Wen Shilin's eyes fell on the street.

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment. He looked back and saw three figures holding black umbrellas walking slowly towards him at the end of the street where the black snow was falling silently... They were wearing solemn black suits and black leather shoes. The strong wind blew up the corners of their clothes. On their chests, black playing cards each revealed a corner of white characters.

[6], [7], [q];

This is...

Perhaps the battle between Tan Xin and Aurora was too shocking, so that everyone almost forgot that there was still the Dusk Society in this city... They had always been quietly dormant in this city, watching everything happen quietly, and only took action at this moment.

But Chen Ling didn't understand, what did the Dusk Society want to do by going out at this time?

Before the three of them arrived at the steps of the station, Chu Muyun gently raised the brim of the black umbrella. His face was as cold as an iceberg under the flying snow.

"【6 of Hearts】." He said lightly, "It's time to go."

Hearing the three words "6 of Hearts", Wen Shilin seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Chen Ling with a complicated expression...

Chen Ling knew that his time of free movement was over. He looked at Wen Shilin and smiled slightly,

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Wen."

"...Me too."

Wen Shilin waved the notebook in his hand. In the corner of the notebook, a line of crooked characters had been written. It looked like it was written in the cold weather, and every stroke was Trembling——

"Investigative reporter: Wen Shilin, Lin Yan"

"Aurora Daily will always remember your name... You are an excellent reporter, Lin Yan."

When Chen Ling saw the words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He glanced at the train on the platform, "Maybe in the future, in other realms, we will have a chance to meet again. At that time, I hope we can get to know each other again... with my real name."

"Yeah."

Chen Ling waved at Wen Shilin and walked straight to the three figures in front of the steps... His figure gradually disappeared at the end of the snowy road with the three black clothes.

Wen Shilin stood alone on the platform. He did not turn around to get on the train. Instead, he bent down and touched Yan Shang's body for a while, took out the second ticket and held it in his hand.

He walked down the steps and walked straight to the alley opposite.

In the alley where the black snow was falling, a woman was holding her child, huddled in front of a pot of fire that had long gone out. She had been secretly watching Wen Shilin. When she saw Wen Shilin walking straight towards her, she immediately lowered her head timidly, not daring to look him in the eye.

"I remember you." Wen Shilin said calmly, "You are the family of a victim of organ trafficking... I came to interview you a few days ago. Do you still remember me?"

"Remember...remember..." The woman's voice was hoarse and could not be heard clearly in the cold wind.

Wen Shilin's eyes fell on her arms. A seven or eight-year-old child was wrapped tightly, with only a small face exposed, but at this moment, the face was also flushed unnaturally. His breathing became weaker and weaker.

"...He is about to die." Wen Shilin spoke again.

The woman's body shook violently, and her hands holding the child became harder and harder, as if she wanted to integrate him into her body... But even so, her own body was gradually losing consciousness.

At this moment, two tickets were handed to her.

"Take him away." Wen Shilin said,

"Leave here and take him to a warm place... Also, help me deliver this to the officials in the next realm."

The woman stared blankly at the ticket in Wen Shilin's hand, as if she hadn't reacted yet, but as the whistle sounded again in the station, she staggered to her feet... She looked at Wen Shilin in disbelief.

"My benefactor, won't you leave?"

"I'm not leaving... I'm going to watch this city from here until the last moment."

The woman wanted to say something, but Wen Shilin stuffed the notebook and the ticket into his arms, "Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, the train will leave..."

Seeing this, the woman's whole body trembled with emotion. She knelt down on the ground with her child in her arms, kowtowed three times to Wen Shilin, and then hurried towards the station with all kinds of thanks.

As the train's whistle buzzed, the steel wheels slowly crushed the frost on the track. Amidst the low clanging sound like thunder, they spewed steaming white steam and drove towards the outside of the realm...

Wen Shilin watched this scene in silence, his expression finally relaxed, and he smiled helplessly.

He is not Tan Xin, nor Ji Guangjun, he is just an ordinary person... This is the only thing he can do for the Aurora Realm and the continuation of mankind.

The black snow fell silently from the sky. Wen Shilin walked back to the steps of the station step by step.

He sat down on the highest step. From here, he could see most of Aurora City... He was like a baby about to fall asleep, leaning slowly on the railing that was frozen into ice, staring blankly at the scene in front of him. City.

He saw the aurora flowing silently and returning to the sky. This city that had been bustling for hundreds of years seemed as quiet as sleeping.

Click——

Wen Shilin pressed the shutter for the last time, recording this scene forever.

His hand holding the camera dropped weakly, and in this silence and serenity, his figure was gradually frozen into ice.

"It's so beautiful..."
