I'm not a theatre god

"Then Aurora City didn't move at all?" Jian Changsheng frowned and asked,

"If Lord Aurora is really dead, the fall of Aurora City is destined, won't those law enforcement officers do anything?"

"Measures? What measures can be taken?" Chu Muyun said slowly, "Aurora City must have been studying how to extend the life of Lord Aurora from a long time ago. Believe me, they have done everything they can, but you don't know... …They even thought about finding a way to replace Lord Aurora and protect the entire Aurora realm, but in the end, nothing came of it.”

"Why do you know so well what they did? Has the Dusk Society penetrated Aurora City to this extent?" Jian Changsheng didn't believe it.

"Because I've seen it with my own eyes."

"Have you been to Aurora Base?"

"No, not Aurora Base..."

Chu Muyun gave Jian Changsheng a deep look, "Do you think that among the nine human bases, the only one whose life has come to an end... is Lord Aurora?"

Jian Changsheng was stunned. He suddenly recalled an extremely bad and shocking rumor about the Twilight Society...

"You mean..."

"There are some things that you will naturally understand after you have experienced them once."

Chen Ling looked at the two people playing riddles with confusion on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Muyun said again:

"In short, you two are the best candidates to sneak into the Aurora Base. This mission is very important and the risk factor is extremely high. You must be mentally prepared."

"Isn't it true that the Aurora Base is the heart of the entire realm and is extremely heavily guarded, making it difficult to get in?" Jian Changsheng pointed at himself, "How can we sneak in with just the two of us?"

"[Hearts 6] has special means to disguise your identity and enter it, but there are many checkpoints in the base, and it is not that easy to get close to Aurora Lord... Unless someone is inside the base to meet him."

"Acceptance?"

Jian Changsheng stretched out his hand blankly and pointed at himself, "...me?"

"That's right."

"I don't have the means to disguise myself, how can I get inside the base?"

"You have no means of disguise, but you have other strengths..." Chu Muyun looked at Jian Changsheng with a smile, "I already have a careful plan, but I need you to make a little effort. sacrifice……"

Looking at Chu Muyun's smile, Jian Changsheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

…

In the chaotic and narrow room, Wen Shilin pinned a photo to the wall, then sighed and sat down on the bed tiredly.

He looked at the wall opposite. The densely intertwined lines were like a spider web, connecting a large number of disorganized photos, articles and essays. At a glance, it was like entering a silk hole...

The dim sunset shined through the window on this dazzling wall. Wen Shilin rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly.

He rested on the bed for a while, slowly got up, returned to the desk and sat down.

"December 28th, 379th year of the New Calendar..."

As he spoke hoarsely, the pen on the notebook started writing automatically,

"Another day without going out... However, I completed all the puzzles of events that were suspected to be related to the 'Hand of Redemption', and threw away those events that were already confirmed to be irrelevant. Finally, I filtered out three related events. ”

"First, Deputy Chief Tan Xin secretly transferred a large amount of explosives to the Aurora Base."

"Second, judging from the transaction records obtained from the Stars Chamber of Commerce, some organs were once traded to an object named 'Aurora', which allowed the Stars Chamber of Commerce to only leave two words and no more information. In fact, it cannot be an ordinary merchant or individual pseudonym...these two words are related to nothing more than 'Aurora Realm', 'Aurora City', 'Aurora Base', and 'Aurora Lord'... From a scope point of view, You can throw away the first two, and 'Mr. Aurora' is already in the 'Aurora Base', so there is a high probability that those organs entered the Aurora Base..."

"Third, there is the case of the disappearance of an elderly man that was investigated half a year ago... The patient who was judged by the doctor as unable to be cured disappeared from the hospital out of thin air. Even his family members did not know about it. The next day, a huge sum of money was added to the family account. Property... At that time, the case was traced to the law enforcement officials. Later, the official issued a voluntary signed document. The old man did not want to be a burden to his family anymore, so he voluntarily donated himself to the Aurora Base for human experiments. "

"Explosives, organs, experiments on living people...these three are closely related to the Aurora Base. What is being done there?"

Wen Shilin fell silent.

He looked out the window at sunset, at the city buildings and pedestrians that stretched to the end of the horizon, with determination in his eyes.

"This case involves too many things, and it even involves Acheng... I can't drag Lin Yan into it. I can only investigate this matter myself."

"There are too many people living in this city, and their fate is beyond their control. If the Aurora base is to harm the entire city, it will be devastating... No matter how dangerous it is, there will always be someone who wants to find the truth..."

“I would like to be the eyes of this city.”

"...recording completed."

As Wen Shilin finished his last sentence, the pen shook slightly and automatically fell back to the paper.

Wen Shilin took a deep breath, quickly put on his coat at the door, put on a gray beret, stuffed all his notebooks and pens into his pockets, hung a camera around his neck, and hurried away...

Click——

The door was locked in the dusk.

…

The night is getting darker.

Residents on the street lit candles, gently placed lanterns, and hung them on the eaves in front of their doors. When they squinted, they looked like clusters of bouquets of flowers.

Except for the dense and bustling commercial district, there are few street lights in Aurora City. In this era when power resources are extremely precious, it is these gentle lights hanging at the door that bring out the dark streets with patches of light, replacing their husbands. , the wife or children guide the direction of home.

At this time, a young man wearing a gray cotton coat slowly shuttled under the gentle light. His shadow was like a candle swaying in the wind, constantly being shortened and lengthened...

His chapped lips opened slightly, and a white mist floated in the cold wind of the night. In the blink of an eye, it dispersed in pieces, and it was unknown where it went.

"Noodles~! Steaming noodles~~"

"Little brother, you got off work so late? You must be hungry, right?"

“Here’s a bowl of noodles to warm your stomach!”

An energetic voice came from the side. A middle-aged man wearing an apron stood at the door, holding a spoon for noodles in one hand and his other hand on his waist. He spoke enthusiastically to Zhao Yi who was walking by. His voice sounded like a winter day. The scorching sun inside is full of vitality and hope.

Zhao Yi stopped. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the noodle shop illuminated by the lantern, looking a little dazed.

"Little brother, why do you look so ugly?" the middle-aged man said doubtfully, "Looking at you, you are only a teenager, right? Why do you feel more sluggish than an old man like me..."

"...No, no." Zhao Yi's head was in a mess now, and he waved his hands subconsciously, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Come in and eat some noodles. I think you're a nice person, so how about I give you a 20% discount? Our noodles are the best in Aurora City!"

Zhao Yi took a deep look at the hot pot where the noodles were boiling and bubbling, and couldn't help but swallow.

But when his fingertips touched the small amount of money in his pocket, he finally looked back.

"Thanks, but I'm not hungry."
