    • ICSST CH17: Fervor Cover
      by Aria — Completely unaware that his mother was speeding away at seventy miles per hour, Zhou Qi'an was still preparing for the arrival of tomorrow’s sun. The room was a mess. Sturdy corkwood and curved branches were scattered across the floor, and a piece of the red bedsheet had been torn off and twisted into a makeshift rope. After working through most of the night, he had finally gotten the hang of it. The next day, the sun rose a little later than usual. When Zhou Qi'an came downstairs, the…
    • ICSST CH16: Mother and Son Cover
      by Aria — Many thoughts connected into a complete chain of logic in an instant. Then, Zhou Qi’an moved slowly toward the statue. Just as he was about to reach it, his footsteps paused slightly, and he fixed his gaze on the sea snakes slithering around the cracks. Mother Zhuo still wore a gentle smile. “Don’t be afraid. It won’t bite you for now.” For now. Zhou Qi’an had no intention of facing a revived statue. He had to move it away as soon as possible. Xun the Wealthy was on the third…
    • ICSST CH15: Delicacy Cover
      by Aria — The tall shelf behind cast a shadow over Xun Er’s face. “I don’t like direct violence, but today, I can make an exception.” At this moment, his gaze was eerily innocent, and for a brief instant, his tone overlapped perfectly with that of the child in the diary. A faint scent of alcohol lingered in the air. Zhou Qi’an guessed he was likely in a wine cellar. To the side, a large piece of equipment lay covered with a white cloth—Chen Jian had mentioned it earlier when he picked up the…
    • ICSST Ch14: Means Cover
      by Aria — Zhou Qi’an knew what he was thinking. But this was just normal conversation, not whispering. There was no need to worry about soundproofing issues. Chen Jian shook his head. It seemed the other party was determined to provoke the NPC and attempt a forceful kill. A few meters away, Zhou Qi’an, with his thin frame, had his shirt soaked from the earlier chase. Combined with his overly thick hair, he looked rather disheveled. Yet, he still gave off an impression of being shy and…
    • ICSST Ch13: The Diary Cover
      by Aria — "What did you say?" "What first step?" Chen Jian recalled the scene of Zhou Qi’an being chased earlier, his expression shifting through a spectrum of emotions. No doubt, this man had already severely offended an NPC. And considering the long distance from the forest to the villa, if he had triggered a guaranteed death rule, he wouldn't have had so much time to run. That meant he was currently walking a tightrope between life and death. "I don’t quite understand." Chen Jian frowned.…
    • ICSST Ch12: Scheming Cover
      by Aria — A second passed.   Although it was only a second, for those involved, it felt incredibly long.   During that second, Zhou Qi'an spoke very seriously to the college student, “I won’t.”   He would never look back.   “?”   Zhou Qi'an said, “When a hostage is kidnapped, the dumbest thing they can do is to try and remove the kidnapper’s mask.”   So he absolutely would not turn around to see who it…
    • ICSST Ch11: Perilous Situation   Cover
      by Aria — “Cooking in someone else’s home isn’t very polite…” Zhou Qi’an didn’t particularly object and casually responded.   If his mother were absolutely certain she could kill Mr. Si, she wouldn’t have bothered seeking his opinion. Soon, his tone shifted, and he gritted his teeth while staring at the idol. “This daughter-in-law is too fierce. I can’t have her.”   He didn’t believe his mother couldn’t sense the idol’s danger. If it weren’t in a dormant state,…
    • ICSST Ch10: Conjugation Cover
      by Aria — The crisp sound of the door opening struck Zhou Qi'an's soul. He had barely relaxed for two seconds before his body tensed up again. If Xun the Wealthy caught him, no amount of explanations would suffice. The man had set up a dedicated altar, and now the statue was gone—this was serious trouble. Without a second's hesitation, Zhou Qi'an took a deep breath and, ignoring his sore legs, rushed downstairs. The barrier of blood and entrails that had blocked the staircase was gone, leaving only a…
    • ICSST Ch9: Handling Cover
      by Aria — The incense burned very slowly after it was lit without wind or fire. Nothing happened within a minute of lighting the incense. Zhou Qi'an felt the chilling presence behind him growing stronger and couldn't help but think: This useless deity statue is really ineffective. How could it even be employed for work? Isn't this just pure fraud? Han Li, feeling exhausted, was ready to retreat for now. After all, they had already discovered the female ghost's identity, so this trip was worth…
    • ICSST Ch8: Burning Incense Cover
      by Aria — The silent room was instantly filled with a strange melody. Soft, gentle, and faint like flowing water, interspersed with some incomprehensible language, as if chanting prayers, making the listener's mind clear. The tape recorder was placed in the children's room, and the audience was undoubtedly a child. "There's no such thing as early education like this." Zhou Qi'an raised an eyebrow. It felt like some kind of Great Compassion Mantra, suppressing one's demonic nature. As for why he felt…
