No matter what, he had to find something not so boring, to slow down the rate at which the \"Audience's\" Expectation Value dropped, and delay as much time as possible for the Dusk Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's gaze swept around. The only thing here that had the potential to create some fun was the Eight of Clubs lying silently on the bed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply grabbed a chair, sat by Eight of Clubs' bed, and looked at him solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What do you want?\" Seeing Chen Ling's sudden movement, Eight of Clubs subconsciously dodged backward, his expression somewhat suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything.\" Chen Ling thought for a moment, \"How did you join the Dusk Society?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... there's nothing much to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waiting bitterly is still waiting anyway, might as well talk slowly.\" (If you don't give me something soon, my Audience is really going to lose their patience.) Chen Ling didn't say the latter half of his sentence out loud, but the look he gave Eight of Clubs was indeed extremely sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight of Clubs sized up Chen Ling with a strange expression a few times. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before joining the Dusk Society, I was the Ninth Hall of the Floating Life Painting, you should know that, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was still the Ninth Hall, an extremely arrogant Dusk Society member snuck into the Red Dust Main City, provoking three Hall Masters to take action simultaneously to capture him... I was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this Dusk Society member had an arrogant style of doing things, his mind was extremely meticulous. He left almost no clues for us. The three of us split up and investigated in the city for a few days without any harvest. Later, I accidentally caught a trace, followed the clues to find him, and then fought him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An arrogant Dusk Society member...\" Chen Ling's expression was somewhat subtle. \"Nine of Hearts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Right.\" Eight of Clubs seemed to remember something, gnashing his teeth in anger. \"Back then, I had just stepped into the Sixth Stage, while he had already been at the Sixth Stage for a long time. I fought him, and the result was just a tiny bit short... Just a tiny bit short of winning! In the end, not only did I fail to catch him, but I was also severely mocked by him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's really Nine of Hearts' style, Chen Ling thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, he ran away.\" Eight of Clubs sighed. \"After I returned to the Floating Life Painting, I was scolded by the Second Hall... because after I discovered the Dusk Society member, I didn't immediately call for teammate support, but chose to fight alone. However, at that time, I was indeed young and aggressive, fearless, and never thought I needed anyone's support... This was indeed my problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also during that period that I discovered some problems. I had an argument with the Second Hall, and then decided to leave the Floating Life Painting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the \"problems\" exactly were, Eight of Clubs deliberately avoided them, and Chen Ling didn't pursue the matter, but continued to listen quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coincidentally... on the train leaving the Red Dust Domain, I bumped into Nine of Hearts, who was disguised and preparing to escape...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, I chased him without hesitation. We fought through a section of the train car and fought until the sky was dark and the earth was dim in the Gray World. You chase, I flee, and the result... I still lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight of Clubs said with deep resentment, \"I lost, and he humiliated me again. I was so angry that I attacked him... and was beaten up again. After a few times, I fainted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling looked at Eight of Clubs, thinking to himself that you are really stubborn. Knowing clearly that you couldn't beat him, you still kept charging up... But thinking carefully, it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Eight of Clubs? He was the number one genius of the Path of the Arts in the contemporary era, a young hero known to several major Domains. Chen Ling calculated a bit; when he fought Nine of Hearts, he should have been around fourteen years old, exactly the age when one refused to admit defeat the most. How could he swallow this anger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn't kill me. He just tied me up and brought me along like a hostage to the next Domain... In the beginning, I wished I could cut him into a thousand pieces, and even had thoughts of suicide. But later I found out, this group of Dusk Society members didn't seem as evil as I imagined... if you don't count the personality humiliation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight of Clubs paused for a moment. \"Anyway, after spending a long time together, I also came into contact with some of the Dusk Society's concepts, and found that this organization seemed different from what the outside world rumored...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Restart' might not be the best answer I'm seeking, but it's the closest option I've seen so far. So, in the end, I chose to join the Dusk Society.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder.\" Chen Ling sat on the chair, listening with relish, just short of conjuring a bag of Sunflower Seeds in his hands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about now? Do you still hate him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine of Hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight of Clubs opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, you don't know, I beat that kid so hard back then that his snot came out!\" Nine of Hearts seemed to think of a happy thing and described it cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack of Clubs rolled his eyes. \"How old were you then? How old was he? A grown man in his twenties beat a fourteen-year-old child like that, and it was a narrow victory, yet you actually have the face to be complacent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just say if I won or not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack of Clubs couldn't be bothered to argue with him. While following Liu Qingyan through the land of the Gray World, he casually took out sparkling powder from his Top Hat and gently scattered it on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving traces.\" Jack of Clubs answered calmly. \"Leaving marks on the road, so even if we fall at the Red Dust Base, the people behind can follow the marks and find the location of the base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng nodded, then asked worriedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, can just the three of us really break into the Red Dust Base and rescue Chen Ling... That's the Floating Life Painting's lair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not three, only two.\" Nine of Hearts smiled and looked at Jian Changsheng. \"You are too weak, rookie. You don't count.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seem to know why Eight of Clubs wanted to beat you up no matter what back then.\" Jian Changsheng gnashed his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's an ordinary Seventh Stage, the possibility of breaking into the Red Dust Base to save someone is zero.\" Jack of Clubs paused for a moment. \"But as a Magician, what I lack least are methods to confuse people. The certainty will be a bit higher... but at most, it's only twenty percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty percent, that's too low.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng furrowed his brows tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what if, we add a Thief?\" a familiar voice came from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng and the others were startled and simultaneously looked behind them. They saw on the path scattering a faint silver light, two figures directly following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was exactly 10 of Diamonds who originally stayed behind at the Jinghong Theater;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other person was wearing a gray Woolen Overcoat, carrying on his back Bai Ye who was wearing a peaked cap and still unconscious. He was walking over here with a smile... The one who just said that sentence was exactly him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw this person, Jian Changsheng's mouth subconsciously opened wide, and his whole person became excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Chu!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1376,"2026-05-30T14:16:16.442Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c607088127fe62ea10906c4cd72c1c138622c4768cd4dd2d257702a5745bf97","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-636","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-634",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
