I'm not a theatre god

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yi didn't understand and asked.

"A dozen hours ago, the intersection of the gray world was only a few meters wide and quite obvious... Now, the intersection is almost everywhere." Chen Ling pointed to the ice field just now, "Remember that we were in Winter Harbor Did you encounter seaweed?”

"Remember."

"Where did they come from?"

"...Puddle reflection?"

"That's right." Chen Ling said slowly, "Although I don't know why, everything nearby that can project reflections seems to be able to connect to the gray world... In other words, the two worlds have begun to be connected through reflections.

Those residents just walked onto the ice and entered the gray world through reflection, and we were also tricked unknowingly... If this situation continues, the frequency of our entering the gray world will only become higher and higher, until... …”

"Until the two worlds are completely integrated?" Zhao Yi understood what Chen Ling meant.

Chen Ling nodded,

"We must enter Aurora City as soon as possible. Only there is safe."

"It's coming soon. With this train here, we can reach Aurora City in half an hour at most!" Zhao Yi said confidently as he skillfully controlled the train.

Chen Ling turned around and returned to the carriage. There were now more than forty people in the originally empty carriage. Several of them were lying on the ground, with large areas of their skin burned, and moans and wailings were heard continuously.

Although the others were not injured by those eels, their condition was not much better. Walking in the ice and snow for a long time had already given them frostbite. In addition, their strength was exhausted and they had narrowly escaped death. Their faces were all pale. Paper, they sat huddled on the floor of the carriage, looking like they were going to faint soon.

When they saw Chen Ling coming, a glimmer of light appeared in their gray eyes. Boss Xu let go of the sleeping child in his arms, stood up from the ground tremblingly, and then knelt down in front of Chen Ling with a thud.

"Thank you very much, Chief Chen, for your life-saving grace... I, Xu Chongguo, will always remember your great kindness and kindness!"

All in all, this was the second time that Chen Ling had saved their family. Xu Chongguo really didn't know what to say, so he just kowtowed.

Seeing this, others also knelt down one after another. Without Chen Ling, they would either die in the gray world or on the way to Aurora City. Chen Ling's appearance not only rescued them, but also allowed them to survive in this extreme. There is a place to rest on the cold road.

What's more, from their perspective, the car driven by Chen Ling had already left, but came back with a brand new train. He felt pity for everyone and would rather give up the possibility of entering Aurora City as soon as possible and take them with him. ...This kind of righteousness and compassion is like an angel compared to those law enforcement officers who massacred people at the station.

The wind and snow howled outside the carriage. Chen Ling glanced at the people kneeling in the carriage and touched her chin thoughtfully.

"There are not enough people..."

"What did you say?" Xu Chongguo, who was kneeling at the front, was stunned for a moment.

"It's nothing." Chen Ling shook her head and said slowly, "Where do you want to go...when you leave like this?"

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused, thinking, isn't this obvious? Aren’t you going to Aurora City yourself?

"Sir Chen, we are going to Aurora City." Xu Chongguo replied immediately.

"What to do?"

"Go and seek shelter. Now all seven regions have fallen. Only Aurora City can keep us alive..."

Chen Ling chuckled, "Then do you know who gave up on the seven regions?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, they cautiously answered, "Is it...Aurora City?"

"You know that Aurora City has given up on the seven major districts and the hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the seven major districts, but you still want to go to Aurora City and let it protect you?" Chen Ling's voice was calm without any emotion. , "Do you think this is possible?"

As soon as this question came out, everyone fell into silence. This was a problem that everyone was aware of, but no one was willing to face it... But besides Aurora City, where else could they go? This is their last hope.

"What if... what if?" Xu Chongguo said hoarsely, "Sir Chen, only Aurora City is safe in the entire realm... Only by going to Aurora City can we have any hope of survival."

"It's useless." Chen Ling said lightly, "Aurora City will not accommodate you."

Chen Ling's calm tone directly shattered the last hopes of the people in the carriage. They stared at Chen Ling blankly, their eyes full of despair and confusion.

"Why???"

"What will you bring to Aurora City if you enter it? Refugees with nothing? Panic from outside the city walls? Or potential sources of unrest? It has given up hundreds of thousands of lives, tell me, why does it care about you? Ten people?”

Wuwuwu——

The cold wind whimpered outside the carriage. Chen Ling saw with her own eyes that the eyes of this group of people had lost their luster and hope... They were kneeling there like sculptures, and the aura of despair filled the entire carriage.

Chen Ling is right. People like them cannot bring anything to Aurora City. Instead, they will panic the residents who have always lived peacefully in Aurora City. Moreover, it is Aurora City that ordered the abandonment of the seven districts. What if some of these people hold a grudge against Aurora City and create unrest in the future?

After a brief silence, Chen Ling's indifferent voice sounded again,

"The train will take you to Aurora City, but this can only extend your life for a while... Your life and death after that has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Chen Ling turned around and walked into the control room. In the dead silence of the car, only desperate and confused faces were left...

"Chen Ling, why do you want to scare them?"

As soon as Chen Ling walked into the control room, she heard Zhao Yi's confused words.

"I just told a fact."

"But you obviously don't have to say it... They are already in dire straits, why do you want to deprive them of their last hope?"

Chen Ling walked to the open door, looked at the rapidly retreating wind and snow and the earth, and answered calmly,

"The more desperate they are, the more desperate they will be when they see that glimmer of hope."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Of course I have my own plan." Chen Ling looked back at the silent carriage and spoke slowly, "Since they were rescued by me, they must play a role for me at the critical moment..."
