Second-Generation Naless
Chen Ling violently opened his eyes!
Tick tock——tick tock——tick tock...
A blurred scarlet corridor, like a suppressive and dull tomb passage, unfolded before Chen Ling's eyes. Everything around was incomparably silent, with only the annoying sound of dripping water echoing in his ears.
"This is..."
An intense pain of unknown origin filled Chen Ling's eye sockets, making it hard for him to open his eyes. At the sa ti, shattered mories reassembled in his mind. He looked at the blurred everything before his eyes and fell into a daze.
Chen Ling rembered that he should have used his body to smash open the Red Star at the sa ti it plumted, and took a step onto the Red Star...
Logically speaking, he should have landed on the surface of the Red Star. But what place was this again?
The intense pain in his eye sockets didn't improve, but gradually, Chen Ling could see more things clearly...
This seed to be an old corridor with a sense of age. Both the wallpaper and the floor were scarlet, like a closed blood vessel extending infinitely into the distance. Dim light emitted from the chandelier, shining on the endless scarlet, giving one an unreal feeling of standing on the edge of a dream.
Chen Ling looked down at himself and was slightly stunned...
At this mont, what he was draped in was not that Theatrical Robe, but a familiar black Nuo Exorcism dance robe. The exposed skin was even attached with large patches of bizarre rust-like substance. No matter how he rubbed it, it wouldn't co off at all, like disgusting moss-like organisms.
"Exactly what is going on..." Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly, "Am I dreaming?"
"This is not a dream. It's your consciousness that has synchronized with the Red Star's consciousness."
A voice ca from ahead.
Chen Ling was stunned. His figure instantly tensed up, his pained eyes violently looking ahead, as if facing a great enemy!
One must know, this was on the Red Star. How could there be living people? And right at this ti, Chen Ling suddenly discovered that all his abilities seed to have failed, like an Ordinary Person with nothing in his body.
At so unknown ti, an extra youth wearing black clothes appeared in the scarlet corridor, a simple red string tied around his wrist, like so kind of cheap blessing ornant. A pair of bewitching rose-red pupils was carefully scrutinizing Chen Ling.
"Who are you?" Chen Ling spoke in a deep voice.
"Hehe... good question." The youth spoke unhurriedly, "I once had many nas, but most have lost the aning of existence... There is only one na that cannot be considered a na, perhaps it can still serve as proof that I once existed..."
The youth paused for a mont, and slowly spat out four words:
"Naless Actor."
Thunder seed to explode in Chen Ling's heart.
Naless Actor??!
How could he be the Naless Actor??
"Are you... the second generation or the third generation?" Chen Ling frowned and asked.
"Second generation."
Chen Ling knew the fifth-generation Naless Actor was A-Yan, the fourth generation was Yao... Up until now, only the first generation, second generation, and third generation were completely unknown. And the first generation seed to have broken away from this world long ago, so this youth in front of him could only be the second generation or third generation.
But even so, Chen Ling was still very shocked. He originally thought that after the past Red Kings boarded the Red Star, they were completely obliterated. He didn't expect soone actually survived, and stayed on the Red Star all along?
If this was the case, then was the fifth generation also...
"Then the other Naless Actors..."
"Gone." The youth seed to know what he wanted to ask, and calmly interrupted Chen Ling, "They all left, only I am left here."
"...Left?"
Chen Ling keenly caught the key information. The youth said "left"... did this an they perhaps didn't die, just temporarily weren't on the Red Star?
"Then where are they?" Chen Ling pursued.
The youth gave Chen Ling a deep look:
"...Follow ."
He turned and walked towards the depths of the scarlet corridor.
Chen Ling didn't have the slightest hesitation and followed closely behind.
Before Chen Ling crashed into the Red Star, countless possibilities had rehearsed in his mind, but he never thought he would actually encounter the second-generation Naless Actor. Regardless, this was extrely good news. At least he didn't have to look for a way to solve the Red Star alone here.
"You just said my consciousness and the Red Star's consciousness synchronized?" Chen Ling asked as he walked.
"That's right." The youth nodded, "Everything here doesn't truly exist, but is a spiritual world based on the Red Star's consciousness... Including , is also just a piece of consciousness."
"And precisely because of this, here, you can see so 'peculiar existences'."
"Peculiar existences?"
A touch of doubt flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.
Before he could ask anything, the two walked to a fork in the corridor.
Three exactly the sa branching paths appeared before Chen Ling's eyes, like an infinitely looping corridor. No matter which direction one walked, there seed to be no difference.
But the youth seed to be very familiar with this place, walking straight towards the far right.
Chen Ling had just walked a few steps behind him when he saw a room with an open door, situated right on one side of the corridor... He turned his head to look. The next second, his whole person froze in place.
Inside the room was the sa scarlet color as the corridor. At this ti, half of a precise satellite model over a ter tall was embedded in the wall.
It wasn't that Chen Ling hadn't seen a satellite model, just that the one in the room now was made too exquisitely. Leaving aside those extre microscopic chanisms for now, even the long rope hanging the astronaut was hovering in mid-air as if floating in space. At the end of the long rope hung a bloody and blurred mangled afterimage, already unable to make out what thing it was.
Chen Ling only stopped at the door for a mont, then continued to step forward.
Rooms like this seed to randomly appear on both sides of the corridor. Besides the satellite model, there were also nuclear submarines embedded in the wall like artworks, lithography machines, cellphones, signal towers, and even an old-fashioned household air conditioner...
The entire corridor was like a bizarre collection hall. The material traces of human civilization's journey along the way were all preserved here, dazzling the eyes of the beholder.
"These are..."
"The 'civilizations' swallowed by the Red Star." The youth answered without looking back, "For you to be able to co here, you should have already witnessed it... The Red Star is a special biological celestial body, specifically feeding on civilization. These civilization fragnts will be continuously digested by it, and ultimately feed back to the 'core'..."
"Core?" In Chen Ling's mind, that energy body that could still reassemble after shattering instantly surfaced, and he couldn't help asking,
"What exactly is the core of the Red Star?"
"This question troubles not only you. All the successive generations of Naless Actors who stepped here ca to seek the answer to this question... And only here can give you an answer. Now, I can directly tell you."
The youth stopped his steps. A touch of solemnity flashed in his gaze looking at Chen Ling.
"The core of the Red Star..."
"Is the power of [Approval]."
