Red King's Tears (3)
My na is Chen Yan.
I am a genius of the Path of the Actor.
That person wearing a mask, who called himself the "Red King", told this ti and ti again... He said I should stick out my chest, I must always be confident, because in this era, one could no longer find anyone with more potential in the Path of the Actor than .
He said I would definitely be able to beco a Demigod in the future...
But what is a Demigod?
After that rainy night, the Red King stayed in District Three, and I didn't go ho either. My Brother was already dead. The only ones left at ho were the two adoptive parents who wanted to kill . I didn't want to go back, I didn't know how to face them.
The Red King took to live in the woods on the back mountain. He taught many things... such as the Theatre Dao Secret thod of "Singing, Speaking, Acting, and Acrobatics".
"You are not of the Path of the Actor, why do you know the secret thods of the Path of the Actor?" I asked him like this.
"I indeed don't know them." The Red King smiled, "But I encountered soone of the Path of the Actor who doesn't belong to this era, and he knew these. So before I ca to find you, I specially consulted him... I'm just repeating what he said to you exactly as he said it."
The Red King rubbed my head and said again:
"He is a very special existence. In the future, you will also et him... his surna is Sun."
I seed to indeed have so talent. The Red King only relayed a portion of what that person of the Path of the Actor said, and I slowly figured out the complete secret thod.
Especially the secret thod for the word "Singing". I always felt that just using this skill to sing the "Singing Tunes" of past Opera Scripts was a bit of a waste of talent. This secret thod could influence people's souls through Opera Vocals and Singing Tunes, it should have even more powerful uses.
These past few days, he took care of like a family mber, cooking for , teaching the secret thods, and washing those dirty Theatrical Robes for ...
I asked him why he treated so well.
He said...
Because I am the hope of the next world.
I didn't understand what he ant... I already had no family left in this world. My Brother died, and my adoptive parents wanted to kill . Right now, he was the person I trusted the most.
I asked him if I could take him as my Master. After all, he taught a lot of knowledge about Divine Pathways and Realms, as well as the secret thods of the Path of the Actor. I had long considered him as my Master.
Hearing this question, he was stunned.
He thought for a long ti.
Then he refused.
He said he had never accepted a Disciple, nor did he want to accept a Disciple. If I was willing, I could treat him as a Brother.
He taught in the back mountain for three days. Within three days, I had already mastered the four complete secret thods.
That day, he told he was leaving...
I asked him what he was going to do.
He said the Red King always had his own things to do.
I sowhat regretted it. Did I learn too fast? If I was a bit stupider and learned a bit slower, would he have been able to stay a few more days?
Before leaving, he gave a Playing Card, a Jade Pendant, and a strange tal Fragnt.
"From now on, you are the Six of Hearts of the Dusk Society." He said, "Do you still rember the goal of our Dusk Society?"
"Reverse the Era, Reboot the World."
These three days, he had been constantly muttering this sentence, I rembered it very clearly.
"Mhm... after a period of ti, I will issue missions to you through the Dusk Society's channels. If you encounter fatal danger that you can't resolve during the mission process, just crush this Jade Pendant, and I will co save you."
I nodded, "Then what is this?"
"This is the Tiline Save File."
He patiently told everything about the Tiline Save File. He said this was the key for the Dusk Society to open the next world, it was the future of humanity. And now... humanity's future would be paved by .
After he finished speaking, I was very nervous, very scared.
I stuffed the Save File back into his hand.
"This is too valuable, I... I don't dare..."
How could I, a newcor who had just stepped onto the First-Tier Theater God Path a few days ago, a First-Tier Path of the Actor, dare to shoulder the future of all humanity?
But he didn't listen to my explanation. He stuffed the Save File back and said seriously:
"You are the Six of Hearts, so things, you have to face sooner or later."
"Use it with peace of mind..."
"Even if you fail, I will Act as a Safety Net for you."
Since he said it like this, I really couldn't bear to refuse again, and finally accepted the Save File.
Before he left, I felt uneasy for a long ti, and finally tentatively entered the Tiline Save File...
For , that was an extrely unfamiliar era.
I pushed open the bathroom door and saw a magnificent building resembling a palace. Countless gorgeous rolling plaques hung above those shops, selling things I had never seen before.
I searched for a long ti before finding the door to leave that building, but tall buildings like this were everywhere outside. There were also all kinds of cars on the road, all appearances I had never seen in the Aurora Domain. Everyone dressed very specially too, and my Theatrical Robe looked completely out of place inside...
Nervousness, unease, fear, bewildernt...
This era was too grand.
There, I was like a lost lamb.
The Red King had told that after entering the Tiline Save File, I had to imdiately go to a place called Shennongjia and get to know those Nine Monarchs.
But I searched in that era for a long ti like an ant on a hot pan, and still couldn't find the Realm train leading to Shennongjia. I asked passersby, and they said to go to Shennongjia, I had to take an airplane, transfer to a high-speed rail, and then take a bus... I couldn't understand, I really couldn't understand.
With great difficulty, I was taken to the airport, and I got lost inside for a long ti again. They said I had to buy a ticket, but also said I needed so kind of ID card...
That day, I missed the ti the Red King ntioned when the Nine Monarchs would be exploring.
I was truly so remorseful. Why wasn't I a person of this era? If I understood this era well enough, I wouldn't have wasted so much ti here, and I wouldn't have missed the Nine Monarchs' exploration the Red King spoke of...
I am truly a piece of trash.
Coming out of the Tiline Save File, I cried for a long ti. I failed the Red King's trust in , and I also ruined the future of humanity.
I didn't sleep for two days and two nights. The imnse pressure almost made collapse. Finally, I still walked out of the back mountain, but on the way to buy ingredients, I was discovered by those organ traffickers from Ice Spring Street...
I was only at the First-Tier, and I didn't have any skills with offensive capabilities. But I exhausted all thods to deal with and fight them!
Face changing!
Disguise!
Theatre Dao Secret thod!
Countless tis I regretted, why was it the Path of the Actor that I stepped onto? If I was of the Path of the Soldier, perhaps I would have long been able to kill them head-on... Those few days were snowing heavily. I was like a rat in a gutter, constantly waiting for an opportunity in the darkness.
Finally... I found it.
At an appropriate mont, I stole that Ritual Artifact that looked like a Ring, and killed them with my own hands.
That was the first ti I killed soone in my life...
The thick sll of blood made nauseous and want to vomit. I stood over the ssy corpses all over the ground, my hands still trembling uncontrollably, but my heart was beating more strongly than ever before... I was fearful, I was scared, but... I stepped on their corpses and straightened my spine.
Yeah...
This world didn't need a weak and harmless Chen Yan.
Since I had stepped onto this path, being weak was the original sin. My soft spine would beco a fatal weakness, my fragile emotions would beco the root cause of everything failing. From that rainy night when I was rescued by the Red King, the once harmless Chen Yan had disappeared... The Red King placed high hopes on , and I didn't want to disappoint him.
My na is Chen Yan.
I am the [Six of Hearts] of the Dusk Society.
