I'm not a theatre god

"And the trains can run onto the main road...it's really bloody."

A huge steam locomotive dragged the locomotive and slowly moved forward through the road on the edge of Aurora City. The driver couldn't help but complain while controlling the machine.

"Stop complaining, let those law enforcers hear you, and be careful to deduct half of the transportation fee from you." The companion on the side said, "Send the things to the place, call it a day and go home."

In front of the White Pigeon Square, the train from outside the city was broken into several pieces, and the carriages were completely separated. Several steam locomotives were transported to the large warehouse together. After the porters were busy, they arrived at noon. dusk.

As the sun gradually sank into the western mountains, several carriages were finally delivered to their destinations. Looking at the charred trains sealed in the warehouse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute, let's check it one last time."

The law enforcer who followed suddenly spoke.

The porters' faces sank, but they couldn't say much. They could only stand at the door of the warehouse and wait.

I saw several law enforcement officers carrying kerosene lamps and searching the carriages. After confirming that there was no more people, they nodded to everyone.

"That's it."

As the cordon was raised around the warehouse, the law enforcers finally left. A few rows of birds flew across the dusky sky, and the entire warehouse area fell into a dead silence.

A few minutes later,

A figure slowly stepped on the stairs and walked down from the dim carriage.

He patted the dust on his body, like a passenger who had just gotten off the bus, casually pulled back the cordon, and walked out leisurely.

He was wearing a brown coat, with a pair of half-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a black glasses chain hanging from the temples. He looked like a scholar from a distant place. His young and unfamiliar face swept around and faced him. The sunset marches on.

However, he stopped just after taking a few steps.

The orange sunset is like a red flame, floating at the end of the horizon. On the straight and long road, two figures are looking at this place in the afterglow of the setting sun.

One of them is wearing a white peaked cap, with silver snake pendants hanging from his earlobes, and his slightly raised smile is mysterious and frivolous; one of them is wearing a gray coat, with a scarf wrapped around his neck, and his blue eyes seem to be breathtaking.

The moment he saw these two people, the passenger who got off the carriage had a slightly subtle expression.

He sighed, "How did you find me?"

"Guess." Chu Muyun shrugged, "Ever since the train entered Aurora City, you have been standing on top of the train and never moved. At first, I thought you just wanted to stand higher, but I thought about it carefully. After thinking about it, I found that it's not that simple...

Your position is right above the chimney used by the train to spout steam. After you burn your body, the ashes or embers will fall down the chimney into the boiler.

At the same time, you just need to create an illusion of playing cards flying into the sky to attract everyone's attention to the sky... You can take advantage of this moment to hide in the front of the car along the chimney and complete a perfect escape trick. "

Chu Muyun paused for a moment and continued, "To be honest, you did it so perfectly. If I didn't know your details, I would have thought that you were burned without even ashes... But I still can't figure it out. How did you survive that fire?"

Chen Ling smiled and did not explain in depth.

Chu Muyun's conjecture was basically correct. The only flaw was that Chen Ling was not alive at all... He was really burned to ashes and then reborn in a boiler that no one cared about. After rebirth, he immediately used [Wuxian] covered up his figure. Even if the law enforcement officers searched again, they could not find any clues.

The inspiration for this performance came from the escape magic that occasionally appeared in the theater in her previous life. Although Chen Ling is not professional in magic, she has watched it backstage for a long time and knows that this is actually what happened...

Facts have proved that his escape performance was so perfect that even the Wuwen law enforcement officer who was close at hand did not notice the slightest difference, except for Chu Muyun who first assumed that he was not dead and then worked backwards.

After all, who would have thought that he could be reborn even if he turned into ashes?

"To be honest, I really liked your last playing card performance." Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, "The sky full of falling playing cards is really suitable for our Dusk Society. Next time you have the opportunity to make a high-profile appearance, you must give it a try …”

Chen Ling asked while following the two people towards the city's neighborhoods:

"What will happen after I leave?"

"The survivors you brought into Aurora City wanted to stand up for you, and were taken away by the law enforcers. They should be receiving treatment now. The other people should be shocked by you and haven't recovered yet, but wait Once public opinion ferments, it’s hard to say how things will develop..."

"Where's Han Meng?"

"Him? He was taken away. He disobeyed orders from the headquarters, fought with other law enforcement officers, and even questioned Aurora City in public... It is a certainty that he will go to trial for these crimes."

"Inquisition? What is that?"

"A trial court specifically for law enforcement officers. All law enforcement officers who betray or commit crimes will be tried there. At the least, they will be stripped of all rights and imprisoned forever, and at the worst, they will be executed in public. It is not a good place anyway."

Chen Ling frowned slightly and walked forward without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking about.

Slope westward day by day,

The dim sunset fell on the streets of Aurora City, and several children ran past with paper kites in their hands with smiles on their faces; the crisp bell rang, and the postman on his bicycle reluctantly stopped to give way... The breath of life was accompanied by the strong atmosphere. The aroma of vegetables spreads in every corner of this city.

This was Chen Ling's first time walking on the streets of Aurora City. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to a small town in his previous life. Although the technology was far less developed than at that time, the popularity and bustle was something that the seven major districts could not find. own.

At this moment, Chen Ling's peripheral vision fell on the other side of the street, and she was slightly startled.

A figure in tattered clothing was sitting in an unnoticed corner against the wall. His body was still stained with traces of wind and snow, and he seemed to be out of tune with everything around him.

Chen Ling stopped.

"What?" Seeing this, Chu Muyun asked doubtfully, "Do you know him?"

A hint of complexity flashed in Chen Ling's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards that person.

Chen Ling's shadow covered up the afterglow of the setting sun. The figure sitting in the corner slowly raised his head. That embarrassed face was full of emptiness and confusion... Chen Ling would not forget this face, because not long ago, he He even fought against the opponent in the snow.

He is the law enforcement officer of the third district, Xi Renjie.
