Chapter 1900: Second-Generation Nameless

Second-Generation Nameless

Chen Ling violently opened his eyes!

Tick tock——tick tock——tick tock...

A blurred scarlet corridor, like a suppressive and dull tomb passage, unfolded before Chen Ling's eyes. Everything around was incomparably silent, with only the annoying sound of dripping water echoing in his ears.

"This is..."

An intense pain of unknown origin filled Chen Ling's eye sockets, making it hard for him to open his eyes. At the same time, shattered memories reassembled in his mind. He looked at the blurred everything before his eyes and fell into a daze.

Chen Ling remembered that he should have used his body to smash open the Red Star at the same time it plummeted, and took a step onto the Red Star...

Logically speaking, he should have landed on the surface of the Red Star. But what place was this again?

The intense pain in his eye sockets didn't improve, but gradually, Chen Ling could see more things clearly...

Chen Ling looked down at himself and was slightly stunned...

At this moment, what he was draped in was not that Theatrical Robe, but a familiar black Nuo Exorcism dance robe. The exposed skin was even attached with large patches of bizarre rust-like substance. No matter how he rubbed it, it wouldn't come off at all, like disgusting moss-like organisms.

"Exactly what is going on..." Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly, "Am I dreaming?"

"This is not a dream. It's your consciousness that has synchronized with the Red Star's consciousness."

A voice came from ahead.

Chen Ling was stunned. His figure instantly tensed up, his pained eyes violently looking ahead, as if facing a great enemy!

One must know, this was on the Red Star. How could there be living people? And right at this time, Chen Ling suddenly discovered that all his abilities seemed to have failed, like an Ordinary Person with nothing in his body.

At some unknown time, an extra youth wearing black clothes appeared in the scarlet corridor, a simple red string tied around his wrist, like some kind of cheap blessing ornament. A pair of bewitching rose-red pupils was carefully scrutinizing Chen Ling.

"Who are you?" Chen Ling spoke in a deep voice.

"Hehe... good question." The youth spoke unhurriedly, "I once had many names, but most have lost the meaning of existence... There is only one name that cannot be considered a name, perhaps it can still serve as proof that I once existed..."

The youth paused for a moment, and slowly spat out four words:

"Nameless Actor."

Thunder seemed to explode in Chen Ling's heart.

Nameless Actor??!

How could he be the Nameless Actor??

"Are you... the second generation or the third generation?" Chen Ling frowned and asked.

"Second generation."

Chen Ling knew the fifth-generation Nameless Actor was A-Yan, the fourth generation was Yao... Up until now, only the first generation, second generation, and third generation were completely unknown. And the first generation seemed to have broken away from this world long ago, so this youth in front of him could only be the second generation or third generation.

But even so, Chen Ling was still very shocked. He originally thought that after the past Red Kings boarded the Red Star, they were completely obliterated. He didn't expect someone actually survived, and stayed on the Red Star all along?

If this was the case, then was the fifth generation also...

"Then the other Nameless Actors..."

"Gone." The youth seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and calmly interrupted Chen Ling, "They all left, only I am left here."

"...Left?"

Chen Ling keenly caught the key information. The youth said "left"... did this mean they perhaps didn't die, just temporarily weren't on the Red Star?

"Then where are they?" Chen Ling pursued.

The youth gave Chen Ling a deep look:

"...Follow me."

He turned and walked towards the depths of the scarlet corridor.

Chen Ling didn't have the slightest hesitation and followed closely behind.

Before Chen Ling crashed into the Red Star, countless possibilities had rehearsed in his mind, but he never thought he would actually encounter the second-generation Nameless Actor. Regardless, this was extremely good news. At least he didn't have to look for a way to solve the Red Star alone here.

"You just said my consciousness and the Red Star's consciousness synchronized?" Chen Ling asked as he walked.

"That's right." The youth nodded, "Everything here doesn't truly exist, but is a spiritual world based on the Red Star's consciousness... Including me, is also just a piece of consciousness."

"And precisely because of this, here, you can see some 'peculiar existences'."

"Peculiar existences?"

A touch of doubt flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

Before he could ask anything, the two walked to a fork in the corridor.

Three exactly the same branching paths appeared before Chen Ling's eyes, like an infinitely looping corridor. No matter which direction one walked, there seemed to be no difference.

But the youth seemed to be very familiar with this place, walking straight towards the far right.

Chen Ling had just walked a few steps behind him when he saw a room with an open door, situated right on one side of the corridor... He turned his head to look. The next second, his whole person froze in place.

Inside the room was the same scarlet color as the corridor. At this time, half of a precise satellite model over a meter tall was embedded in the wall.

It wasn't that Chen Ling hadn't seen a satellite model, just that the one in the room now was made too exquisitely. Leaving aside those extreme microscopic mechanisms for now, even the long rope hanging the astronaut was hovering in mid-air as if floating in space. At the end of the long rope hung a bloody and blurred mangled afterimage, already unable to make out what thing it was.

Chen Ling only stopped at the door for a moment, then continued to step forward.

Rooms like this seemed to randomly appear on both sides of the corridor. Besides the satellite model, there were also nuclear submarines embedded in the wall like artworks, lithography machines, cellphones, signal towers, and even an old-fashioned household air conditioner...

The entire corridor was like a bizarre collection hall. The material traces of human civilization's journey along the way were all preserved here, dazzling the eyes of the beholder.

"These are..."

"The 'civilizations' swallowed by the Red Star." The youth answered without looking back, "For you to be able to come here, you should have already witnessed it... The Red Star is a special biological celestial body, specifically feeding on civilization. These civilization fragments will be continuously digested by it, and ultimately feed back to the 'core'..."

"Core?" In Chen Ling's mind, that energy body that could still reassemble after shattering instantly surfaced, and he couldn't help asking,

"What exactly is the core of the Red Star?"

"This question troubles not only you. All the successive generations of Nameless Actors who stepped here came to seek the answer to this question... And only here can give you an answer. Now, I can directly tell you."

The youth stopped his steps. A touch of solemnity flashed in his gaze looking at Chen Ling.

"The core of the Red Star..."

"Is the power of [Approval]."
