When the war subsides, a colorless, gray world will drag the earth into an abyss... Three hundred years from now, the human population in the world will not exceed one hundred million, and they will all be scattered across Nine Realms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A colorless, gray world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this description, the masked man was clearly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked man's gaze toward Chen Ling changed somewhat. He hesitated for a long time, but still waved his hand to dispel the dark clouds above Chen Ling's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all.\" The masked man answered faintly. \"If the thunderclouds gather for too long, those 'White Hands' will quickly notice this place. It's just to be on the safe side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he reached out his hand to Chen Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Ritual Bell, give it back to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling glanced at the Ritual Bell in his hand. After a brief hesitation, he still shook his wrist and swapped the Ritual Bell and the magazine back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, the masked man was Senior Xiao Chunping's friend, and as a member of the \"White Hands\", he was willing to risk his life to save him from the siege... This showed that this masked man valued friendship quite highly. Since he had saved him, Chen Ling couldn't very well really steal the other party's treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked man looked down at the Ritual Bell that returned to his hand, and his tense body relaxed a little more. He couldn't help but ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling didn't answer immediately. After sweeping a few glances at the masked man, he asked in return, \"Aren't you also on a distorted Path of the Actor? Can't you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling clearly remembered that before he left the Timeline Save File last time, this masked man said, \"Your Path of the Actor is actually distorted as well\"... Chen Ling had remembered this sentence until now, and this was also the reason why he wanted to return to the save file as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, Chen Ling had thought that his distorted Path of the Actor was bizarre and unique. He urgently wanted to know if there was a second distorted Path of the Actor in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... I am different from you.\" The masked man shook his head. \"My situation is more complicated...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, my situation is also very complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can tell. Two souls trapped in one body, this kind of situation is truly rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this sentence, Chen Ling's pupils contracted slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yao, who had always been hidden in the deepest part of his mind, couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could actually tell??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that even the Rank 9 Demigod, the Silver King, hadn't detected Yao's existence... Just what exactly was the background of this masked man before him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look at me like that.\" The masked man shrugged. \"My Divine Path is a combination of 'Drama' and 'Witch', so my perception of souls is relatively sharp... The first time I saw you, I discovered it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A combination of 'Drama' and 'Witch'?\" Chen Ling frowned deeply. \"You have a Double God Path??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly... I told you, my situation is more complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the masked man was about to say something else, the roar of propellers approached from the distance. Bright, pale spotlights quickly swept across the woods in the Wilderness, as if carefully searching for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling and the masked man turned their heads to look at the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you say they wouldn't be able to find us in the short term?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it's definitely not my problem. Either you've been tracked and locked onto by them! Or someone on the Path of Divination is constantly calculating your location!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of the propellers caused the surrounding leaves to dance wildly. The hurricane blew both of their hair up. As the pale spotlight approached straight toward them, a sense of crisis once again surged into Chen Ling's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\" The masked man grabbed Chen Ling and sprinted frantically toward the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Ling pointed a finger at the helicopter in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the pale spotlight of the helicopter exploded with a bang. Even the speed of the spinning propellers began to slow down, and the aircraft uncontrollably descended slowly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Signal lost with B-103. Confirmed the 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending is at the target location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would Shen Nan be with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason is unknown, but orders have come from above that we must obliterate the 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending. If Shen Nan repeatedly obstructs, he can be shot dead along with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actions must be fast. That person's tracking range is limited to Shanghai. If we let them leave Shanghai, it will be difficult to locate them again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Received.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the first helicopter was forced to land, dark figures streaked across the sky one after another, rushing in the direction Chen Ling and the other had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain telephone booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint sound of electric current rang out from the receiver. Yang Xiao pressed one hand against the surface of the telephone, listening to something with rapt attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the telephone booth, Lu Xun wore a mask and a peaked cap he got from somewhere, pacing back and forth constantly. His gaze from time to time looked toward Yang Xiao inside the telephone booth, trying to discern Chen Ling's situation from his changing expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Yang Xiao temporarily hung up the phone and pushed the door out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it?\" Lu Xun immediately went up and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The good news is, he has already escaped the first wave of encirclement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the bad news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's being tracked... Before he leaves the Shanghai area, people will continuously go and hunt him down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xun's expression was somewhat ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It's all my fault.\" Lu Xun sighed heavily. \"If I hadn't asked him to come to Shanghai, if it wasn't to save me from those people... He wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't say that either. Who could have thought that those people from Bureau 749 would suddenly prophesy that he's some 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao comforted Lu Xun. He knew that with Lu Xun's personality, he absolutely couldn't stand others falling into hardship because of him. And perhaps because everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Ling, no one cared about Lu Xun, who had escaped from the laboratory, right now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them just stood on the late-night streets of Shanghai like this, watching the flow of cars pass by in front of them. A sense of confusion and powerlessness surged into their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No, there must be another way to help him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xun finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He took out his mobile phone from his chest, flipped out a phone number, and walked straight into the telephone booth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call the director of Bureau 749.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call him?\" Yang Xiao's first reaction was to shake his head, pressing down on Lu Xun's hand. \"Did you forget that you were caught by them to be used for experiments? Now that they haven't come looking for you, you still dare to take the initiative to contact him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding the matter of my imprisonment, I guess Director Sun doesn't know about it.\" Lu Xun answered calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Xiao, I've been doing things for Bureau 749 for a long time. I know many of their higher-ups. Director Sun is not that kind of person... The reason why I was willing to give my blood sample before was because I trust Director Sun's character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This is too risky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, only by taking risks can we save Director Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1352,"2026-05-30T14:16:22.504Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e1952316a5a2da02c12fa9a6c7768f03112dc7265e223b7f186f781868b78d9","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-947","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-945",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
