Chapter 296: Identity Revealed

~7 min read 1,283 words

Seeing this scene, Wen Shilin's expression slightly changed.

Even if he was already a senior reporter who had seen winds and waves, seeing a human head explode open before his eyes, the visual impact made him still somewhat uncomfortable... His Adam's apple rolled up and down, trying as much as possible to let himself shift away his gaze.

"Lin Yan..." Seeing the young man beside him, Wen Shilin blanked out, subsequently his expression somewhat complex.

"Long time no see, Mr. Wen." Chen Ling put away the gun, smiling slightly.

When Chen Ling came over seeing Wen Shilin here, he had already changed back into Lin Yan's appearance. Although now whether his identity was exposed or not already didn't matter, but he knew Wen Shilin was a good reporter. If not necessary, he didn't want to frighten the other party... Maintaining the previous relationship, was the best choice.

"Why are you here? You also got a Train Ticket?"

"Train Ticket?" Chen Ling shook his head. "I don't have that kind of thing... I exactly pursued and killed him coming over."

Chen Ling at this moment, had already prepared for being pressed with questions by Wen Shilin. Why pursue and kill Yan Shang? Why was Yan Shang tortured into this kind of appearance? Why did the firearm just now turn into Coal?

But exceeding expectations, Wen Shilin didn't press with questions, but instead blinked his eyes looking at him for a long time... as if waiting for something.

"This time, not taking away my doubt anymore?"

Chen Ling blanked in place.

"You..."

"Very surprised?" The corners of Wen Shilin's mouth slightly rose up,

"No matter what I have also acted as a reporter for so many years. Although in the aspect of recognizing people I would occasionally make mistakes, but I'm also not a fool... In this aspect, the things you have to learn are still many, rookie."

Chen Ling absolutely didn't expect, Wen Shilin unexpectedly could see through his [Heart Python]. Up until now he didn't feel his own disguise had any problems...

He couldn't help but doubtfully ask: "How did you discover it?"

Wen Shilin waved the Notebook in his hand,

"I have the habit of keeping a diary every day. As long as I go home and slightly review the matters that happened today, I would then perceive something not right. The first time I only felt somewhat strange, feeling that I was too tired at that time... but the second time, I then recovered my senses.

This loophole is still quite crucial, next time when using it on others, remember to be a bit cautious."

Only then did Chen Ling realize where the problem lay.

His [Heart Python] could only temporarily steal away a certain emotion. Even if he could steal away doubt at that time, not letting Wen Shilin feel anywhere was wrong, but as long as the other party slightly recalled after returning home, he could then anew recall the points of doubt from before... He had no way of relying on this ability to make someone trust him from beginning to end, unless he always stayed together with the other party.

This was a loophole Chen Ling had never envisioned before. The most primary was... in that era of Chen Ling, fundamentally there weren't really people who liked keeping diaries ah?

"Since it's like this, why didn't you expose me?"

"At the very beginning I indeed had some fear. You taking so much trouble to approach me, exactly what did you want to do... but actually thinking about it carefully, you never disadvantaged me, and all the things you did indeed were all righteous, the most crucial is your eyes..." Wen Shilin pointed at Chen Ling,

"Acting as a reporter for so many years, I have seen too many victims. The sorrow and fury in your eyes when you mourned your younger brother, cannot be faked."

Chen Ling's both eyes complexly looked at Wen Shilin. After a long time, helplessly smiled a bit.

"So, you know who I am?"

Wen Shilin shook his head, "I don't want to know."

With Wen Shilin's investigation ability, as long as he wanted to, tracing out Chen Ling's true identity wasn't difficult... but he fundamentally didn't think to investigate. In his eyes, Chen Ling was just a junior wanting to take revenge for his younger brother, just this simple.

"...Thank you." Chen Ling sincerely spoke.

"Right." Wen Shilin turned his head looking at him. "You just said, you don't have a Train Ticket?"

He reached his hand into his embrace, taking out a Train Ticket, passing it in front of Chen Ling,

"Take this away."

"This is... a Train Ticket for the cross-Realm train?"

"Right, this is the last flight of the train, also the last hope of escape. Ordinary Persons even don't know the existence of this flight of train... sitting on it, you can safely arrive at the south." Wen Shilin's gaze, swept past the deathly silent city sealed in ice, bitterly speaking,

"There, it won't be this cold."

Chen Ling looked at the Train Ticket before his eyes, having some doubt in his heart. It stands to reason this kind of cross-Realm train, every seat was prepared in advance. Those who could sit on this train were all high officials and noble lords... Wen Shilin was just a reporter, and moreover was the kind that offended people the most. Where did this Train Ticket come from?

"This Train Ticket, was given to me by Tan Xin." Wen Shilin seemed to have seen through Chen Ling's thoughts, explaining, "He asked me to send some things out. As an exchange, he told me all the plans."

"You've seen Tan Xin?"

"En."

Wen Shilin nodded. "Speaking the truth, I admit I had some prejudice towards him before... however looking at it now, he indeed is worthy of the position of Law Enforcer Deputy Director-General."

"I won't use the Train Ticket. In this city, I still have matters not finished." Chen Ling paused for a moment, pointing at the Notebook in Wen Shilin's hand. "However... can I take a look at that?"

The other people of the Dusk Society were still in the Aurora City. Chen Ling naturally couldn't take the train and leave first alone. Relatively speaking, he was still more interested in the matters that would happen next in the Aurora City.

"...Are you sure?" Wen Shilin's brows locked tightly. "If you don't leave again, it would then be too late."

"En."

Wen Shilin seeing this, also didn't advise anymore. After sighing a long breath, handing the Notebook in his hand to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling opened the Notebook. The thick majority in front were all Wen Shilin's diaries. He rapidly flipped to the last few pages...

"This is..." Chen Ling muttered to himself.

...

Century Avenue.

The cold wind brushed past the empty road, carrying a rich bloody smell in the icy coldness,

The Century Avenue at this moment, people were already basically emptied out. The Coal on the trucks were all taken away by the residents. On the ground only remained corpse after corpse of scarlet, and silver notes stained full of human blood and filth.

Two figures quietly stood in the center of the severe and deathly silent road, black windbreaker and gray cotton clothes fluttering with the wind.

Zhao Yi crushed the Squinting Man's head with one stomp. The pupils flickering with Curse Runes seemed to have perceived something, looking towards the other end of the road.

"Someone is coming." His overlapping voice rang out. "Is it an enemy?"

Han Meng looked at that vehicle gradually approaching, eyes slightly narrowing.

"...No, it's here to look for me."
