I'm not a theatre god

"The Ancient Treasures of the Ghost Way are the carriers of the Ghost Way. Most of the people who set foot on the Ghost Way are able to control ghosts and retrieve souls, and their methods are extremely mysterious and vicious... If nothing else, there should be someone in this era who has already set foot on the Ghost Way. , Junior Brother, you are also in Tianshu Realm, if you meet him, be careful!"

"Originally, we were worried about you and wanted to take a stroll in the Tianshu Realm, but the master has not allowed us to leave the Xidao Ancient Cang recently, so we discussed it and stole it for you from the depths of the Xidao Ancient Cang. Something came out, just in the envelope..."

"You should carry this thing with you. The usage is written in it. Junior brother, you can use it directly if you need it."

"Besides, everything is fine with Xi Dao Guzang recently, so you don't have to worry, little junior brother."

"——Senior Brother, Ning Ruyu."

After reading this letter, Chen Ling felt warm in her heart.

He did not hesitate to enter the fifth-level battlefield between the young sect master and the assassins to snatch this letter back, because this was the wish of all the senior brothers and sisters... Facts have proved that all this is worth it.

Chen Ling picked up the envelope again, fumbled inside for a while, and soon took out something flat like a cloth bag.

"This is……"

Chen Ling opened the bag and found a small note inside. After glancing at the words on it, he felt surprised.

He closed the bag again, placed it close to his body, and then began to take a pen and paper to reply to his senior brothers.

Susu——

The candlelight of the oil lamp swayed in the starlight,

The tip of the pen crossed the flat letter paper, imprinting peace and longing on it, every word, full of sincerity.

…

Two days later.

Bangdang—— Bangdang——

An intra-city train was speeding along the railway tracks within the Tianshu area.

There are only a few seats in the carriage. Most people are standing on both sides, holding on to the swaying ring above to stabilize themselves. Some people are leaning on the metal rods on the edge of the window, whispering.

Chen Ling grasped the metal pole with one hand, and the empty cuff of the other hand swayed lightly as the train started and stopped. Seeing this, the other passengers around him silently gave him a small space, and were very considerate of this " Disabled people".

Chen Ling's expression was extremely strange.

Not long ago, he confidently said in the Times archive that he would never have to squeeze into the subway again. But in the blink of an eye, he arrived in the Tianshu realm and still couldn't escape the fate of the subway... The good news is that there was really no one around him this time. "He, in terms of humanistic care, Tianshu Realm is obviously doing very well.

"So...the people on this car are all competing for the [Tongtian Star Position]?" Chen Ling said in a deep voice.

"Oh, that's not it." Jian Changsheng stood aside and quickly rummaged through the manual issued by the organizer, "This is just an ordinary train. We have to reach the old district before sunset, so changing trains is the fastest way. "

"Didn't the battle for [Tongtian Star Position] begin today?"

"yes."

"Then why are we going to the old area?"

"...You haven't read this manual at all." Jian Changsheng clicked his tongue and explained patiently, "The start time of the trial is 12 o'clock tonight, and it will last for 48 hours in total, and the scope of the competition is The old area of ​​Tianshu Realm..."

"It's not what I thought."

"? What are you thinking?"

"In a competition like this in a novel, shouldn't various big guys join forces to open up a small world and then send everyone in at once? By the way, let's watch the competition remotely."

"... Let's get involved in the show. In this era, who can create a small world for you? And when it comes to fighting and killing, who can watch the battle remotely? It will scare the children!" Jian Changsheng rolled his eyes,

"People from the Tianshu Realm said that the old area was originally a city a long time ago. Because it is too old, its underground mechanical devices have been damaged and cannot be processed every hour like other new areas in the Tianshu Realm. Infer changes.

In a sense, it is a broken old city. All buildings, transportation, and streets are to be demolished... Tianshu Realm originally planned to completely demolish it in the second half of this year and rebuild a new area, but it happened to be To hold this trial, the entire city was used as a venue. They are all abandoned places anyway, it doesn’t matter even if we raze them to the ground...

In terms of area, the old area is even larger than the four major areas in the Aurora Realm combined. It is definitely enough for the two hundred of us to fight. "

"Fighting..." Chen Ling thought thoughtfully.

"So, this fight for [Tongtian Star Position] can really kill people?"

"Can kill." Jian Changsheng turned to the last page of the manual, "It is said that this time, the leader of the Medical God, the president of the Paper Kite Rescue Association, will be stationed in the old district, and within his domain [The Land of the Dying], all the dead will be killed. The soul will be temporarily detained... The manual states that if a participant dies, within ten minutes people from the Paper Kite Rescue Association will carry away your body, perform treatment and repair, and then allow the soul to return to the body to complete the resurrection.

Of course, the resurrected ones will no longer be able to participate in the competition for the [Tongtian Star Position] and can only wait outside the old area. "

"I can kill, but I won't really die..." Chen Ling frowned, "Oh no, then I won't be able to die either?"

"???Dude, are you okay??"

"Forget it, we'll figure it out later." Chen Ling sighed, "How long until we can get to the old area?"

"Sit this station till the end, then change to another line, and take another 12 stations to get there." Jian Changsheng glanced at the sky outside the window, "We should be able to get there before sunset today."

The train was like a comet passing through the ever-changing city.

There were fewer and fewer passengers around Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng. When the twilight of dusk shone through the window and fell on the floor of the train, there were only a few people left in the car... If nothing unexpected happened, those people should also be competitors for the [Tongtian Star Position].

Because the Tianshu Realm is too large, all the people who participated in the competition for the [Tongtian Star Position] are in different positions, with different routes to the old district and different times, so in the short term, there is no need to worry about large-scale collisions and chaos in advance.

These people took the golden train, looked up at each other, and then tacitly lowered their eyes to recuperate.

When dusk gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon, the night covered the earth again, and the train finally entered the station slowly with a roar...

Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng got off the train one after another, looking at the dim and dilapidated station in front of them, their eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is this... the old district?"

"It's really old." Jian Changsheng looked up into the distance. The surrounding area was not full of electric lights like other new districts in the Tianshu Realm, but was silent in the inky night. Only with a little starlight, the outlines of old buildings in the dark could be seen clearly.

This old, abandoned urban area was the starting point for them to embark on the Tongtian Star Road...or, it was also the end point.

At the same time, a figure carrying a kerosene lamp walked slowly towards here.
