I'm not a theatre god

"Really? You didn't kill him, but you let him go." The man said calmly, "Whether it's true or not, who are you... As long as you send it to the Stars Chamber of Commerce for soul-crushing evidence, everything will be clear. "

The man gave the other law enforcement officers a look, and they immediately escorted Xi Renjie into Aurora City and walked towards the Stars Chamber of Commerce.

Xi Renjie's pupils shrank slightly when he heard the words "soul-breaking evidence search".

"No...I don't want soul-crushing evidence!!" Xi Renjie suddenly raised his head, "I don't want soul-crushing evidence!! You let me confront Commander [Tan Xin] face to face! The situation he set up is not necessarily successful. It works, there are so many variables!”

"Sir [Tan Xin] of course knows that there will be variables, but as long as the success rate is 50%, it is enough... If you are Chen Ling, then we can get information about the forces behind you and your purpose. If you are Xi Renjie, then We will also give you enough compensation... Of course, the premise is that you can survive a round of soul-crushing evidence." The man glanced at him and said.

"You should know that if it weren't for this situation set by Commander [Tan Xin], your only destination would be to die in District 3... Now that your future has a little more possibility, what else do you have to complain about?"

Xi Renjie opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word... He knew that he couldn't escape today no matter what.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still looking forward to the life after entering Aurora City. It was Aurora City that gave him the motivation to struggle out of the icy hell. He had clearly arrived in this city, but he had never been there. I thought this would be the result.

He was being carried along the road like a dead corpse, with his head lowered and his eyes empty and desperate... Pedestrians on the road pointed at him in confusion, but they didn't know what was going on.

"Mom, there are so many kites in the sky..." A child's voice came from the roadside.

Xi Renjie was startled for a moment. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the sky.

Under the blue sky, hundreds of colorful paper kites are floating in the aurora. They have different shapes and are colorful. They carry dreams and expectations, flying freely in the warmth and peace...

This was the first time Xi Renjie saw a kite up close, and it was also the first time he knew that there could not only be ice, snow and aurora in the sky, but also such beautiful things. They seemed so close to me, yet so far away.

Before Xi Renjie could take a second look, his sky was blocked by thick eaves. This was a dark house, and in the center of the house was a stone table covered with blood.

At this moment, on the stone table, a young man with scars on his face was like a corpse, motionless.

"Here we come," said the man escorting Xi Renjie.

"Tsk... This kid hasn't finished his troubles yet, here comes another one?" The figure beside the stone table said impatiently.

"Why, this Jian Changsheng's soul hasn't been broken yet?"

"No, this is already the fourth time...this is the first time I've seen such hard stubble."

The man spoke carefully, "We are in a hurry, why don't we jump in line first?"

The figure glanced at Jian Changsheng and waved his hand in disgust, "Forget it, you can keep this kid and toss him slowly. Someone will take him to the dungeon and lock him up first... Let's give him something fresh to toss."

Xi Renjie looked at the stone table that was getting closer. The scarlet blood drops splashed on the table seemed to overlap with the colorful mandarin ducks flying in the sky... This was the sky that belonged to him.

He slowly closed his eyes.

…

"It's so cold..."

Boss Xu hugged his shoulders with his hands, his whole body was trembling, and when he muttered two words, the heat was instantly condensed into ice slag.

"Damn it, why does it get colder the further we go?"

"I can't... I really can't walk anymore. How long until we get there?"

"We're probably only halfway there?"

"I'll take a rest...you guys go first."

"No! You absolutely can't rest in this temperature. Once you rest, you won't be able to stand up again."

"I really can't walk anymore...You guys go first, I'll come back later...I'm just going to rest for a while, just for a while..."

"..."

More and more figures are sitting down beside the railway tracks with difficulty. Their bodies are covered with ice slag, and they are all white from a distance. Most of them are elderly people. Even if someone stops in front of them to pull them, they are still standing. They all waved their hands and didn't say anything.

"Dad...I'm so tired..."

"Come, daddy will hold you for a while."

Boss Xu carried the boy on his back distressedly. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The woman quickly supported him and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay... I'm okay." Boss Xu licked his chapped lips, but took a mouthful of ice shavings, "But it seems a bit too cold today... I didn't hear it was so cold near Aurora City?"

"Yeah, I feel like my whole body is freezing."

"And why do I feel like...there are fewer and fewer people in front of me?"

Boss Xu rubbed his eyes and found that Boss Li and his family who were walking in front of them had disappeared. The rails continued to extend on the smooth, mirror-like ice and disappeared at the end of the fog, but there was no figure on either side of the track.

This discovery directly made Boss Xu's scalp numb. He thought he was walking slowly, so he ran forward quickly with the child in his arms. Suddenly, the world spun and everything in front of him changed.

Under the leaden sky, there was no trace of track anymore. Under his feet was a piece of extremely smooth ice. As his footsteps fell, ripples appeared on the ice, as if he was walking on the sea. above.

The weirdest thing was that he could actually see his wife walking behind him through the reflection on the ice. As his wife stepped into the ice, she instantly appeared behind him as if she had stepped on the air in the gap between the two worlds. , looked around blankly.

"This...here is..." the woman said in confusion.

Boss Xu held his child in his arms and saw the residents of the third district reappearing in the distance. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Grey World? How is it possible??"

Before he finished speaking, a series of exclamations came from the front. The residents who were walking at the front turned around and ran here like crazy!

Behind them, the ice-like sea surface was violently turbulent, and dozens of ripples swept around. Only creatures covered with spells were seen snaking out of the bottom of the sea and approaching them at an alarming speed.

One of them jumped on the ice, like a fish flying over a dragon gate, and accurately hit the woman running at the end.

The next moment, a blazing flame suddenly burst out, and the fireball more than two meters high instantly engulfed the woman. The shrill and desperate roar was like some kind of signal, and it instantly spread throughout the crowd.
