Chapter 48 [No Form]

"Reverse the times... restart the world?"

Chen Ling understood each of these eight words, but when they were put together, he didn't understand what he meant.

"It means exactly what it says." Chu Muyun said slowly, "Reverse everything from the catastrophe until now, and let human civilization return to the day when the Red Star descended..."

"You mean, go back in time?"

"Not go back, but restart... There is still a big difference between the two."

Chen Ling looked at Chu Muyun in disbelief, "Is this... possible?"

"Didn't you see it?"

Chu Muyun pointed to the USB flash drive in Chen Ling's hand, "The result of our attempt."

In Chen Ling's mind, he immediately recalled the scene of himself inserting the USB flash drive into the snow and traveling back to his "previous life"... There is no doubt that this was the world he had existed in, and the era when the Red Star had just descended.

And the Dusk Society perfectly restored it and sealed it in this USB flash drive.

"How did you do this?" Restarting the world was really a fantasy for Chen Ling, but he was a person who had experienced it firsthand.

"This process is quite complicated... We have worked so hard so far, and have only completed the two-hour 'archive', but we have found a way. One day, we will let this archive replace history and restart the world."

"But if the world can really be restarted, then you should represent 'justice'. Why are you wanted by the nine human realms? Why don't you join forces with them?" Chen Ling asked back.

Chu Muyun smiled.

He pushed his glasses and spoke calmly,

"You will understand later."

Chen Ling was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"I have told you the most basic concept of the Dusk Society." Chu Muyun stared at Chen Ling, "Now... you should make a decision."

"Will you join us and become the most wanted criminal in the nine realms, wandering around for the rest of your life, being spurned and feared by the world... or leave?"

Chen Ling's eyes flickered, and after a brief pause, he slowly raised his head and said firmly:

"I will join."

Reverse the times and restart the world.

For others, the Great Cataclysm is just a description in history, but for Chen Ling, it means that everything that belongs to him will be destroyed.

He doesn't like this world, he doesn't like this era, he wants to go back to where he should be, honor his parents, live a stable life... He also wants to reverse the established history, so that his father, relatives and friends can live well.

He wants to go home.

Hearing these three words, Chu Muyun smiled slightly, he took out three playing cards from his arms and placed them on the table one by one.

6 of spades, 6 of hearts, 6 of clubs;

"What is this?"

"Joining the Dusk Society means completely giving up their past, including their names, families, and identities for many of our members... They use the face of a playing card to represent themselves, and you can choose one too."

"...Why are they all 6?"

"The numbers represent seniority. The earlier you join, the bigger the number... When it comes to your batch, it starts with 6." Chu Muyun shrugged, "Actually, 6 is not bad. I joined a few years earlier than you, and it was only 7."

"Then why are there only three cards of the same suit? What about diamonds?"

"Two months ago, a new member joined, and he chose diamonds."

"Okay..."

Chen Ling glanced at the three playing cards and subconsciously touched his chest... Under the skin, it was empty.

"I choose hearts, [6 of hearts]."

Chu Muyun raised his eyebrows, nodded, and pushed the playing card in front of Chen Ling.

"Then, officially welcome you to join the Dusk Society... [6 of Hearts]."

The woman who had been sitting quietly in the corner began to applaud at the right time.

Chen Ling looked at her with a strange expression, and the woman yawned again and turned her head away.

"...Is she also a member of the Dusk Society? What card?"

"She has no divine path, nor any other abilities. She is just an ordinary person, so she is just a peripheral member... She is generally responsible for the transmission of information. Basically, there is one in every realm and every city."

"Then what card is yours?"

"[7 of Spades]."

Chen Ling nodded.

He looked at the [6 of Hearts] in his hand, and suddenly felt unreal... He just drew a card at random in the store, and became a member of the Dusk Society wanted by the nine realms... Just a few hours ago, he was still sure that this was a cult.

"There are only three copies of that archive in the entire Twilight Society, one for each of the Red King and the Gray King. This one will be kept with you for the time being, but it can only be opened once a month, otherwise the contents will be damaged."

"Then what should I do next?" Chen Ling asked, "Do I need to report somewhere, go through the formalities, and then live in a dormitory?"

"..." Chu Muyun shook his head speechlessly,

"The Dusk Society is a club, and the management of members' personal behavior is very loose. You can do whatever you want... As long as you complete the task as soon as possible, and then disguise yourself to ensure that you are not discovered by the human world.

Speaking of disguise... you should be the best at it."

"Me?"

"Didn't you embark on the 'Drama God'? Disguising as different characters should be your strengths." Chu Muyun said as a matter of course, "Moreover, your skills seem to be more perverted than the normal Drama God."

"Drama God... skills..."

Chen Ling seemed to remember something, and his fingertips reached the position of his chin. With a thought, he tore off his entire face the next moment.

In the woman's stunned eyes, two identical Chu Muyuns were sitting opposite each other.

"Yes, that's it." Chu Muyun on the left nodded, "After stepping onto the Shinto path, every time you advance a step, you will automatically master a corresponding skill. The skill will change depending on the path you choose... You are on a twisted Shinto path, and your skills should also be unique."

"I see..." Chu Muyun on the right looked down at his body, and even his clothes and voice had changed.

If the woman hadn't known the seats of the two in advance, she wouldn't have been able to tell which one was the real [7 of Spades].

"As far as I know, the first-level skill of the ordinary Xishendao is called [Thousand Faces], which can change faces and voices freely, but can't change clothes, let alone change into items...but you can do it." Chu Muyun paused, "You are the only one who has taken this path, don't you want to give this skill a name?"

"[Thousand Faces]..." Chen Ling thought for a while,

"In that case, my skill will be called [No Appearance]."

No form, no appearance, appearance is born from the heart.

"Your Shinto is very evil. Although you have strong abilities, the side effects are also obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, every time you are promoted in the future, you will suffer from short-term mental confusion. You must pay special attention to this."

"Mental confusion? Did I have it when I was promoted?"

"..."

Chen Ling didn't remember the process of turning into a gun barrel and killing Chen Yan.

Chu Muyun briefly described it to him, then looked at the dim night outside and slowly stood up.

"It's almost time, I should go."

"Where to?"

"Back to Aurora City, I have a mission there."

As he spoke, Chu Muyun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Ling.

"What is this?"

"This is your mission." Chu Muyun answered seriously, "The mission given to you by the Red King himself... In the entire Twilight Society, perhaps only you can complete it."
