I'm not a drama god

The biting cold wind blew across the ice and snow, and a figure in a black windbreaker staggered forward step by step. In the mist in the distance, a tall city wall loomed.

"Aurora City...that's Aurora City."

Xi Renjie's eyelashes were covered with frozen ice. The moment the city wall came into view, his dilated pupils finally regained some sanity.

His chapped lips were slightly opened, and he exhaled a mouthful of white mist. At this moment, he felt that all the bones in his body were about to freeze, and the two wounds that had been pierced by the steel sword were no longer felt.

He didn't know how he made it this far. His existence seemed to have been wiped out in the vast ice and snow. If it weren't for the motivation that Aurora City had brought to him in his mind, he would have collapsed halfway from exhaustion. ...and now, the city he dreamed of is right in front of him.

As he got closer, the surrounding fog became thinner and thinner, and he could see the dense aurora flowing in the sky behind the city wall, like a brilliant gem suspended in the air.

Under the gem, there are countless colorful mandarin ducks flying vaguely.

Xi Renjie stared at this scene in a daze, as if he was a little crazy. He stretched out his hand to catch the flying colorful mandarin ducks, but in the end he only caught a piece of ice-cold snow.

"Aurora City...I'm coming."

Xi Renjie took a deep breath. The cold air made his lungs sting. He woke up completely and walked faster towards the city wall.

He staggered to the foot of Aurora City. A dazzling light was projected from the top of the wall, swaying across the snow-white ground, and locked onto Xi Renjie. Xi Renjie frowned and subconsciously covered the light with his hands.

"This is Aurora City." A deep voice came from the loudspeaker on the edge of the city wall, "Please show your city entry documents."

Xi Renjie took a deep breath and shouted towards the city wall covered by the wind and snow:

"I am Xi Renjie, the law enforcement officer of the third district, reporting to Aurora City!"

The voice from the speaker paused for a moment, as if checking something.

After a short wait, the huge city gate slowly opened under Xi Renjie's gaze. A gust of wind blew across his cheek, followed by several figures calmly walking out from behind the city gate.

These figures were all wearing black trench coats. Unlike Xi Renjie, the other party's trench coat had at least flashing patterns on the hem of the trench coat. The leader even had five.

Seeing such a huge battle, Xi Renjie was astonished in his eyes. He just wanted to enter the city, so why did he dispatch so many high-level law enforcement officers?

"You are Xi Renjie." the leader asked.

"Yes."

"Why did you come here alone? Where are the law enforcers you were asked to bring?"

Xi Renjie opened his mouth, but finally said hoarsely, "They all died...all died during the disaster riot in the third district."

"Thirty people, all dead?" The man's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes."

"What about Chen Ling? Did you kill him?"

"……killed."

The man nodded slightly and stopped talking.

"Sir, can I enter Aurora City?" Xi Renjie asked tentatively.

"of course can."

The man drew his gun, pointed it at Xi Renjie's knee, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Boom--!

Two gunshots were fired, followed by two blooming blood flowers. Xi Renjie never expected that the other party would shoot him. He couldn't even open the [Iron Clothes], so he screamed and fell to his knees on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, other law enforcement officers standing behind the man quickly stepped forward, locked Xi Renjie's hands with dark shackles, and put the shimmering blade against his neck. With just a little force, Xi Renjie's head would fall to the ground.

Xi Renjie knelt down in the snow, the blood seeping from his knees staining the ground under his feet. His eyes were full of pain and astonishment.

"Why?? Is there some misunderstanding... I received a message from Aurora City! I have a record!"

The man sneered, walked forward slowly, and pressed the cold muzzle of the gun between Xi Renjie's eyebrows.

He said lightly:

"Should I call you Xi Renjie...or Chen Ling?"

Xi Renjie stayed where he was.

"...What do you mean? I am Xi Renjie. You only need to check my file to find out. My face cannot be faked!" Xi Renjie replied angrily.

"Can't your face be fake?" The man said slowly, "Maybe..."

"not necessarily??"

"The heretic Chen Ling has the special skill of changing faces. Even if he cuts off his face, it cannot be confirmed... Tell me, how can you prove that you are Xi Renjie?"

There was a deep confusion in Xi Renjie's eyes. He looked at the man. His face was filled with the assurance of victory.

"Chen Ling was able to kill all the other participants in the Bing Dao Ancient Cang alone. His strength must be above the second level... Tell me, how did you, a second-level law enforcement officer with no talent, kill him?"

"I..." There was no color on Xi Renjie's face.

"No, that's not right... Why did you give me that order when you knew I couldn't defeat him?"

Xi Renjie was stunned, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind...

"Did you do this on purpose? Did you use me as bait?!"

"There's no need to continue acting, Chen Ling." The man said slowly, "Let me remind you what happened... Law enforcement officer Xi Renjie received the order and set up a trap to kill you. But with his strength, how could it be possible? Your opponent... You easily defeated Xi Renjie and learned from him that Aurora City had discovered your identity, so you used a trick to kill Xi Renjie in his place, hoping to sneak into Aurora City...

In this way, you can not only enter the city, but also continue to lurk in the law enforcement system as Xi Renjie, the law enforcement officer... For you, this is the simplest and most efficient method.

[Tan Xin] The officer sent Xi Renjie to you just to get you to bite the bait... Originally we were worried that you would kill Xi Renjie and never show up again, but now it seems that you still took the bait. "

The man's words fell like thunder in Xi Renjie's ears.

Only then did Xi Renjie understand why the message from Aurora City to him did not mention any background of Chen Ling, nor did it explain why he was a heretic... Because once Aurora City explained that all the things in the Ancient Bingdao Collection were done by Chen Ling , he will inevitably realize the strength gap between him and Chen Ling, and choose to give up the mission.

When Aurora City gave that message, it did not intend to kill Chen Ling from the beginning. Instead, it set up a dead end for Chen Ling at the cost of its own life.

"...No, I didn't kill him!" Xi Renjie immediately explained, "I just knocked him out because he saved District [-]. I really didn't kill him...I, I just wanted to... …”

Xi Renjie stopped talking midway through his words... because he knew that no matter how hard he tried to explain at this moment, it would be in vain.

From the moment Aurora City sent him the text message,

He is already an abandoned son.
