Getting up early in the morning, Quicksand took the old photograph and began casting a wide net, catching anyone he saw to ask, "Have you seen this photo?" Most of the patrons shook their heads. The photograph had been wrinkled by time, and the memories preserved on it were blurry and chaotic. When Quicksand showed the photograph to Hearts, Hearts looked thoughtful: "Isn't this a group photo we took in the past? I was still young back then. Look at this titanium alloy prosthetic limb; it was…-

“What happened?” Siles asked. Professor Bright said, “I arrived here last night. A young child is staying in the room next door, and every hour or two, he throws a fit and cries like that.” Siles couldn't help but frown slightly. He said, “That must really disturb your rest, Professor.” Professor Bright shrugged, speaking in a somewhat lighthearted tone: “It was just one night, so it was bearable.” Siles thought to himself that letting this continue long-term certainly wouldn't…-

Chapter 42: The Song of the Wind (2) Nobody spoke in the somber, oppressive tunnel. The Grand Duke possessed his own pride as a ruler, and he clearly was not in a good mood. Tang Cuo had his pride as well—as a noble, valorous knight, he could hardly be seen striking up a friendship with a frivolous, carefree traveling bard. The bard himself felt a bit wronged. Jin Cheng hadn't idly stood by earlier to watch the show on purpose. In truth, he had been dying to lend a hand, but his mechanical…-

Chapter 42: The Song of the Wind (1) Jin Cheng’s high-profile return was a blatant, unrepentant display of arrogance, yet no one dared to move against him. Under the three laws of the Eleventh Movement, any player outside of Zone F who dared to step into East Cross Street had only one destination: prison. As for orchestrating another tragedy like the BS101 massacre—that was virtually impossible. Jin Cheng was not the kind of man to fall into the exact same pit twice. The rest of Yong Ye City…

Chapter 41: The Death of the Poet (6) In the center of the hall, a lone well was bathed in the cold moonlight. The moonlight spilled down through the hollow, carved window of the vault above. Pure white Chinese roses poked their heads out from inside the well, climbing upward and upward until they reached outside the window, yet still leaving a gap for that moonlight to pass through. The carved window faced the mouth of the well directly, making the moonlight look like a spotlight on a stage,…

“... “...I have seen death pass me by. “...In my youth, when I had just become a believer of my God, my admiration for death was so deep that I desperately wanted to experience death firsthand. “Here I must remind the reader: death, after all, is terrifying, so no matter what, do not follow my example. This is advice coming from a tottering old man. “In short, I tried various methods, attempting to draw closer, ever closer to the deity I revered. Yet whether it was because my young…

Siles was equally struck by this quote mentioned by Kellogg. Summary of the Age of Shadows Literature was the book on Kellogg's recommended reading list that provided Siles with the most inspiration. Once again, he gained insight into the relationship between deities and believers of that era from a literary perspective. It was fair to say that after the long Age of Empire drew to a close, when the shadow descended—regardless of what that shadow truly represented—the relationship between gods and…

Chapter 46: The Holy Spirit Is Simple; It Is Humans Who Are Complex... "Your brother was a warrior. He died in the winter defending the Eternal City." "You are a warrior too. Mama is proud of you." Holding him, his mother spoke through her tears. Having just survived the genetic mutation, Sirius nodded vigorously. A few scales had sprouted along his arm, stinging with pain; he didn't dare scratch them, terrified that whole sheets of skin would peel off and expose the raw, bloody flesh…-

Chapter 45: Death Is Rebirth? Xiang Nanli trailed behind the Black Armor Knight, stepping out of the elevator and onto the top of the city wall. The moment the knight exited the elevator, he reverted to a aloof, unapproachable demeanor. "My Lord, right this way," an official of the Eternal City bowed low, his head bent almost all the way to the ground. "Those Mutants are still assaulting the city... A—A few of them nearly climbed up the wall." To these surface survivors, a Knight Commander of…

Chapter 44: But Other Types of Non-Humans Aren't Completely Off the Table... Ezekiel stared at him with great interest. "You know my name?" "It was in the news," Xiang Nanli replied. "Ah, that's actually the name those researchers gave me. I don't really like it," Ezekiel replied slowly. "Though, you might as well call me Ezekiel. After all, humans need a name to address me by." Before Xiang Nanli could respond, a loud clatter suddenly echoed behind him. It turned out that Andrew, who was…
