    • ICSST CH83: The Priest Cover
      by Aria — Zhou Qi'an fell silent. "On behalf of the village chief, thank you." Shen Zhiyi replied flatly, "A rose given leaves fragrance on the hand." As expected, the conversation died awkwardly again. Zhou Qi'an glanced around. The skin monster hadn’t followed them out; it seemed Ying Yu and the female teacher had already taken care of it. Once that thing lost its disguise, it wasn’t much of a threat in a two-against-one fight. Aside from the missing Little Red Riding Hood member, everyone involved…
    • ICSST CH82: Upstart Cover
      by Aria — There hadn’t been a good opportunity before—if a ghost really showed up, he might not have been able to handle it alone. But now, with the three of them together, the situation was perfect. Two against one. No matter who had a problem, they wouldn’t escape a mixed double beatdown. If push came to shove, he’d stab them with the pitchfork. “Who’s first?” Ying Yu calmly reached out and touched it. The cold emanating from the trident was so intense it nearly froze his blood, but the…
    • ICSST CH81: The Big Test  Cover
      by Aria — No choice. They had to go in. The next second, the door was kicked open hard, slamming into the wall with a crisp bang. The kid holding the sickle flinched reflexively. The trauma of last night’s zombie player attack still haunted him. In that one involuntary shiver, his foot caught on something, and the child fell straight onto the bed. Zhou Qi’an retracted his white silk ribbon and stood up, seemingly prepared for this. One villager was almost struck by the kid’s sickle. “You little…
    • ICSST CH80: Making Full Use Cover
      by Aria — The next day, the weather was grim. Dark clouds blocked the sunlight, casting the world in dim silence. Zhou Qi’an, waking to a new day, frowned for the second time. Something was off. The village chief had stressed rising early, likely a rule, so everyone should be up. No one dared use the canal’s water; washing came from the well, yet it was unnaturally quiet. Adjusting his clothes, he crossed to the opposite courtyard. The gate was open, a silent expanse with only wild grass…
    • ICSST CH79: Slaughter Cover
      by Aria — The lingering smoke swirled, its heavy, acrid smell trapped in the confined space. The villagers in the sacks thrashed like dying fish. Zhou Qi’an’s gaze settled on one sack, and he nodded. Shen Zhiyi effortlessly hoisted it with one hand, then dumped the person onto the ground like trash. The villager landed face-first, eating a mouthful of dirt. With his mouth gagged, he could only glare at his captors with furious, blazing eyes as he struggled to roll over. Once I’m…
    • ICSST CH78: Troublemaker Cover
      by Aria — When Zhou Qi’an saw the remains, he found it very strange. The game wouldn’t leave behind a player’s corpse for no reason. If it were meant to show how the player was taken, the watery footprints and the wine-red hair on the window would have sufficed. And if the goal was to scare them traditionally, even tossing in a severed hand, foot, or eyeball would be more noticeable than two thin slices of flesh that were easy to overlook. Sister Zhao’s corpse, displayed high up, wasn’t just a…
    • ICSST CH77: Nightmare in the Village Cover
      by Aria — Ying Yu fell silent for a moment, racking his brain to recall if anyone had performed such a dance at the lab’s annual gatherings. Surprisingly, he found a match. Zhou Qi'an didn’t waste time. As his words landed, he manipulated a white silk ribbon to pull down a skeleton, its crashing sound drawing the villagers’ reflexive attention. Seizing the moment, he slipped on a mask with one hand, kicked off his shoes, and moved as lightly as a feather. In the dim light, Zhou Qi'an used a pillar for…
    • ICSST CH76: Humanity Is Worth It Cover
      by Aria — The square-faced man suddenly remembered something—when they went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, Zhou Qi’an had been humming an off-key tune the whole time. The melody had felt oddly familiar. Now that he thought about it, wasn’t it “The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms”? The female teacher, ever the practical one, stared at the elderly man lying unconscious, foaming at the mouth and twitching uncontrollably. She asked, “Will he... die?” Zhou Qi’an waved his hand…
    • ICSST CH75: Counterattack Cover
      by Aria — Was it even necessary to point that out? Anyone with eyes could see it. Under Zhou Qi’an’s sarcastic, “You’re a genius” kind of dumbfounded look, the square-faced man quietly began to resent him. Zhou Qi’an waited for others to speak up—surely not everyone was as foolish. Sure enough, after the square-faced man embarrassed himself, the blind-box teammate who insisted on living alone finally spoke up: “The village chief deliberately blurred the key points last night. Before…
    • ICSST CH74: Targeted Cover
      by Aria — Sensing someone’s gaze from beside him, Zhou Qi'an turned slightly and tilted his head. Shen Zhiyi was looking at the bag on his back and asked, “Want me to carry it for you?” Zhou Qi'an shook his head. “It’s not heavy yet.” He chose his words carefully, already making a deliberate distinction between the present and the future. “……” There were three brick houses in the courtyard—one in the center, and one on each side. Suddenly, the village chief said, “There’s…
