I'm not a drama god

"The Ghost Dao Ancient Treasure is the carrier of the Ghost Dao. Most people who set foot on the Ghost Dao are able to control ghosts and summon souls, and their methods are extremely mysterious and vicious... If nothing unexpected happens, someone in this era should have already set foot on the Ghost Dao. Junior brother, you are also in the Tianshu Realm. If you run into him, be careful!"

"We were worried about you and wanted to go to Tianshu Realm for a walk, but Master has not allowed us to leave Xidao Ancient Storage recently, so we discussed it and stole something from the depths of Xidao Ancient Storage for you. It's in an envelope..."

"Carry this with you. It has instructions on how to use it. If you need it, you can use it first."

"Also, Xidao Guzang is doing well recently, so you don't have to worry, little junior brother."

"——Big Brother, Ning Ruyu."

After reading the letter, Chen Ling felt a warm feeling in her heart.

He was willing to fight his way into the fifth-level battlefield between the young master and the assassin to get the letter back, because it was a token of love from all his fellow brothers and sisters... Facts have proved that it was all worth it.

Chen Ling picked up the envelope again, fumbled inside it for a while, and quickly took out a flat object that looked like a cloth bag.

"This is……"

Chen Ling opened the cloth bag and found a small note inside. After glancing at the words on it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He closed the cloth bag again, put it close to his body, and then began to use paper and pen to write replies to his fellow brothers.

rustling—

The flame of the oil lamp flickered in the starlight,

The tip of the pen slid across the smooth piece of letter paper, imprinting peace and longing on it, every word was full of sincerity.

……

Two days later.

Bangdang—— Bangdang——

A city train was speeding along the rails within the Tianshu Realm.

There were only a few seats in the carriage. Most people stood on both sides, holding onto the shaking rings above to steady their bodies. Some people leaned on the metal bars at the edge of the windows and whispered.

Chen Ling held the metal pole with one hand, and the empty sleeve of the other hand swayed slightly as the train started and stopped. Seeing this, other passengers around him silently made a small space for him, showing great consideration for this "disabled person".

Chen Ling's expression was extremely strange.

Not long ago, he confidently said in the Time Archive that he would never have to squeeze into the subway again, but now he has arrived in the Tianshu Realm, and he still cannot escape the fate of the subway... The good news is that there are indeed no people around him "squeezing" him this time. In terms of humanistic care, the Tianshu Realm is obviously doing a very good job.

"So... everyone in this car is going to compete for the [Tongtian Star Position]?" Chen Ling asked in a deep voice.

"Oh, that's not it." Jian Changsheng stood aside and quickly looked through the brochure issued by the organizer. "This is just an ordinary train. We need to reach the old district before sunset. Transferring by train is the fastest way."

"Didn't the fight for the [Tongtian Star Position] start today?"

"Yes."

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

"...You didn't read the manual at all." Jian Changsheng sighed and explained patiently, "The trial starts at 48 o'clock tonight and lasts for hours. The area to be fought over is the old area of ​​Tianshu Realm..."

“It’s not what I thought.”

"? What do you think?"

"Shouldn't the big guys in novels work together to create a small world and send everyone in at once for this kind of competition? And then they can watch the game remotely."

"...You are confused, right? In this era, who can create a small world for you? And who will watch the fighting remotely? It will scare the children!" Jian Changsheng rolled his eyes.

“The people in Tianshu Realm said that the old district was originally a city district from a long time ago. Due to its age, its underground mechanical devices have been damaged and cannot be deduced and changed every hour like other new districts in Tianshu Realm.

In a sense, it is a broken old city. All the 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 just so happened that they were going to hold this trial, so they used the entire city as the venue. Anyway, it's an abandoned place, so it doesn't matter if we raze it to the ground...

In terms of area, the old district is even larger than the western districts of the Aurora Realm combined. It is definitely enough for the two hundred of us to fight."

"Fighting..." Chen Ling seemed to be thinking about something.

"So, this time in the fight for the [Tongtian Star Position], can someone really kill someone?"

"Yes." Jian Changsheng turned to the last page of the manual. "It is said that the leader of the Medical God Sect, the president of the Kite Rescue Society, will be stationed in the old district. Within his domain [Land of Death], the souls of all the dead will be temporarily detained... The manual says that if a participant dies, within ten minutes the people of the Kite Rescue Society will carry away your body, perform treatment and repair, and then let the soul return to the body to complete the resurrection.

Of course, the resurrected will not be able to continue to participate in the competition for the [Tongtian Star Position] and can only wait outside the old area. "

"I can kill him, but he won't really die..." Chen Ling frowned, "Oh no, then I can't die either, right?"

"??? Dude, are you okay?"

"Forget it, we'll figure it out when the time comes." Chen Ling sighed, "How long will it take us to get to the old district?"

"Go to the end of this station, then change to another line and go twelve more 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 is like a comet passing through the ever-changing city.

There were fewer and fewer passengers around Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng. When the dim light of dusk shone through the windows and onto the train floor, there were only a handful of people left in the car... If nothing unexpected happened, those people should also be competitors of [Tongtian Xingwei].

Since the Tianshu Realm is too large, all those who participate in the fight for the [Tongtian Star Position] are in different locations, with different routes to the old district and different times. Therefore, in the short term, there is no need to worry about large-scale collisions and causing chaos in advance.

These people were riding on the golden train. After looking up at each other, they all lowered their eyes tacitly to rest.

When dusk gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon and the night enveloped the earth again, 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 with their eyes slightly narrowed.

"This... is the old district?"

"It's indeed quite old." Jian Changsheng raised his head and looked into the distance. The surrounding area was not full of electric lights like other new areas in the Tianshu Realm. Instead, it was immersed in the inky night. Only with the help of a few starlight could he make out the outlines of the old buildings in the darkness.

This old, abandoned urban area is the starting point of their journey to the stars... or, it is also the end point.

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