Chapter 1460: Red King's Tears (4)

Red King's Tears (4)

Killing this group of scum from Ice Spring Street caused me to be targeted by an Enforcer.

That District Three Enforcer, Han Meng, was very troublesome. He could sniff out my whereabouts like a jackal. Fortunately, I no longer had any attachments to the Aurora Domain. I found an opportunity, changed my face, directly sneaked onto a Realm train, and left this domain.

After arriving at the Red Dust Domain, I immediately made contact with the local Dusk Society members. My superiors assigned me a task, it seemed I was to execute a task together with a member from the Path of the Arts...

I didn't change back to my own face, I still used my Brother's face.

I was only fifteen years old. My age was simply too young. There were too many inconveniences when using my own face to execute tasks... Moreover, I would be looked down upon.

My Brother shouldn't have died in the first place. If my heart was given to him, he would have been able to live on... Me using his face and living with his identity, perhaps, was also a continuation of his life.

In the Dusk Society, I experienced a lot, and also grew a lot.

In task after task, I got to know one powerful senior after another. I learned their respective strengths from them. I would even change to their faces during tasks, deliberately imitating them, simulating their thoughts, and compiling it all into my own mind.

I would never be flustered again. No matter what kind of thorny situation I encountered, I could quickly calm down and find a way to Break the Deadlock.

During the period of executing tasks in the Red Dust Domain, I met a friend from the Path of the Arts. Not long after making contact, he was pulled into the Dusk Society by the Grey King and became the Six of Spades; there was also a girl from the Path of the Yellow Earth, whom the Six of Spades and I met when exploring the Ancient Vault of the Yellow Earth. We also developed her into the Dusk Society, and she became the Six of Clubs.

I heard seniors say the Card Face for Six of Diamonds had already been given out, and he was also from the Path of the Actor, but none of us had ever seen him. Perhaps he was also an interesting person.

At the same time, everything in the Timeline Save File was gradually getting on the right track. I used Stagecraft to conjure identification documents, learned how to take the subway, buses, high-speed rail, and even airplanes. I learned how to use a smartphone, and learned how to use the internet to understand everything about this era.

Later, the Red King mailed me another USB Drive.

He said there were only three such USB Drives in total in the Dusk Society... He had never used his own [Primal Beginning]. He was waiting for me to gradually master how to live in the Timeline Save File before giving his [Primal Beginning] to me, allowing me to have a second chance to start laying out plans all over again.

He said he would Act as a Safety Net for me... he really did it.

After getting [Primal Beginning], I immediately entered the Timeline Save File and acted from the very first Save Point. This time I caught the airplane and arrived at Shennongjia. I changed my face to replace their original Guide and successfully sneaked into the Exploration Team!

They called me Director Chen... Hearing this name, I was slightly in a daze.

My surname was indeed Chen.

Perhaps, this was destiny?

Later, we received a task from the Red King to return to the Aurora Domain.

Only then did I discover that because the Lord of the Aurora's lifespan was nearing its end, all areas other than Aurora City had fallen, including my hometown... District Three.

The residents of District Three, those former neighbors, playmates, classmates of mine, and even that Enforcer Han Meng who chased to kill me, all died at the hands of the Calamities from the Forbidden Sea.

The three of us from the 6-series were on standby in Aurora City, until the arrival of that day...

Turmoil occurred in Aurora City. There seemed to be a split internally among the Enforcers. At the same time, the Calamities from the Forbidden Sea began to assault the domain. Inside and outside the city, everything was in chaos. Calamities were killing people, the severe cold was killing people... People, were also killing people.

That was the first time I felt the insignificance of humanity, and also the first time I witnessed the greatness of humanity.

Watching figure after figure die tragically, I had an urge in my heart. I wanted to do something to comfort these pitiful souls, but I couldn't... The only method I could think of was Singing, but I racked my brains and thought of all the operas I had learned, and none of them fit the current situation.

Perhaps when everything was over, I could write a ballad... I had already thought of the name, it would be called "Requiem Ballad".

Later, the Lord of the Aurora woke up.

I didn't know why, but he sought me out.

He rescued me from the encirclement of Calamities and brought me back to a safe place. He said a few words to me, as if reminiscing about his past, yet also as if looking forward to my future.

Before leaving, he patted my shoulder. His gaze looking at me was somewhat complex, I couldn't understand what kind of emotion that was...

But what was certain was that he had no malice towards me.

In the end, the Lord of the Aurora still died in battle. The internal split among the Enforcers also ended. An Enforcer personally killed the Lord of the Aurora, using his power to turn everyone's souls into aurora, fluttering in the sky above the domain.

That was the first time I realized that the aurora that accompanied me as I grew up since childhood was actually so beautiful.

I personally recovered the Lord of the Aurora's corpse. Looking at that pale and cold face, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. Obviously, even adding the exploration in the Timeline Save File, I had only interacted with him for a few hours. But seeing him die in front of me, I had a feeling of losing an important friend.

It didn't matter... even if the Lord of the Aurora of this era died, I could still become friends with him in the Timeline Save File.

I thought this way.

The Aurora Domain was destroyed. We took a tractor and left this deathly silent domain.

Later on, we experienced a lot, a lot together... The Red Dust Domain and the Wuji Domain were successively destroyed. Lord Lou Yu of the Wuji Domain betrayed the Nine Monarchs and established his own faction. The situation facing humanity became increasingly severe.

We witnessed the demise of every domain, and also witnessed the ending of every Nine Monarchs. I became stronger and stronger. The speed of my progress was too fast, my peers fundamentally couldn't catch up to me.

In the Timeline Save File, I successfully became friends with the Lord of the Aurora. His real name was Yang Xiao... As an exchange, I also told him my real name and showed him my real face.

Seeing that I was actually so young, he was very surprised. But perhaps he was already used to it. After that, he still continued to call me Director Chen.

The Red King constantly issued tasks to us.

I accomplished one feat after another that others considered difficult to achieve, and became partners with more and more Dusk Society members.

The domains were perishing, but the Dusk Society was getting better and better. After that, the Red King would regularly come find me, bringing me various new styles of Theatrical Robes, and delicacies from other domains. We would often chat together. I thought this kind of life would last forever...

Until,

The Red Star streaked across the sky once again.
