Chapter 42: Ezekiel, the Holy Spirit, and the Mutants Sirius panted heavily. Blood slid down his temple; it ought to taste salty. He could barely see the path in front of him, yet he could still instinctively feel the positions of his opponents. Only three people remained on the field. Aside from him, the other two were former boxing champions. "Hey, how about we take out this kid first?" Who was speaking? It didn't matter. The fierce wind from a heavy punch tore through the air. Sirius…-

Chapter 41: "How Many Times Have I Told You, Never Trust Any..." Xiang Nanli arrived rather late. When he swiped his card and stepped into the elevator, he surprisingly found himself to be the sole occupant. He carried a heavy briefcase containing his boss's exoskeleton. The second-floor spectator stand was somewhat crudely decorated. Though seats were provided, few spectators bothered to sit properly; most leaned over the guardrails, gazing down into the pit. It felt strikingly like a Roman…-

The sudden appearance of the old man took both Siles and Chendo slightly by surprise. Chendo frowned, his eyes darkening slightly, but he still turned his gaze toward Siles, waiting to see how Siles would handle the situation. Looking at the old man with a touch of surprise, Siles asked, “Sir, do you feel that mechanical structures are unreliable?” Hands folded behind his back, the old man stood there gazing at the painting. After a moment, he nodded. “However, mechanical structures are…-

A date, in theory, ought to begin with sweet words from the moment two people meet. Yet Siles and Chendo's Monday date began with a question from Siles: "Chendo, what is the last recorded record regarding Ligadia within the Praia family?" "The last record?" Chendo was taken aback for a moment and pondered briefly before replying, "That would likely be the final recorded account of a believer witnessing Him before Ligadia vanished." Siles asked, "And what was that?" Chendo recalled carefully,…-

When he returned home that day, Huo Ranyin used the excuse that there were flaws in the renovation to call in workers to fix up a few Schrödinger-esque details, taking the opportunity to remove the surveillance camera in the corner of the living room. From Huo Ranyin's quiet observation, Ji Xun didn't harbor any suspicion whatsoever. He didn't even care about the workers who had suddenly shown up in the apartment, much less have the patience to listen to the sounds of hammering and banging; he simply…-

Shortly after dinner, the guests gradually dispersed. After seeing them off, Ji Xun returned to the room to face Huo Ranyin, the curve at the corners of his lips unable to be suppressed any longer. "I think they all know." "Know what?" Huo Ranyin was lazily reclining on the sofa. Ji Xun bypassed him and snuggled into the other side of the sofa. "Know about our relationship." "What makes you say that?" "Super simple deduction," Ji Xun said. "We renovated the place. There are two rooms in…-

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Xun received a video call from Tan Mingjiu, who had snuck out of the cafeteria. When that shiny bald head popped up on the phone screen, Ji Xun let out a cold, mischievous chuckle at him. Tan Mingjiu rubbed his own bald head. "So, uh..." Ji Xun: "Hmm?" "Old Ji, this is all just a misunderstanding. Nobody wanted this to happen..." "Hmph." "Besides, I don't think you can blame this entirely on me..." "Heh." "This is all because of your..." "This is all the…-

Later, Huo Ranyin really did fall asleep. He slept through to ten in the evening, right past dinner. When he finally woke up, the slumber demon hadn’t completely released its captive. Ji Xun noticed that Huo Ranyin’s expression was a bit dazed, yet shadowed with a touch of annoyance. It was rare to see such straightforward, plain emotions on his face. "Hungry?" Ji Xun asked right away. "..." Huo Ranyin shook his head. "Then keep sleeping," Ji Xun said, lightly patting him. "..." Huo…-

"Actually, it hurts quite a bit," Ji Xun quickly changed his tune, switching options. "It hurts so much I can barely sleep." "That's not what you said just now," Huo Ranyin said pointedly. "Just now, I didn't want you to worry." "And now?" "Now, I want to make you happy," Ji Xun said. "In your mind," Huo Ranyin leaned against the windowsill, casting a sidelong glance at Ji Xun with a faint smile, "knowing that your injury hurts makes me happy?" "..." He really is angry, isn't he? On…-

Siles froze in surprise, then could not help but laugh. Chendo’s blatant way of asking for a benefit actually struck him as somewhat cute. People in love truly view everything through rose-tinted glasses. He removed his gloves, scarf, and coat in turn. Chendo stood fixed in place, watching him, patiently awaiting the "benefit" Siles was to bestow. Siles walked up to him and gave his braid a gentle tug. "Do you like it?" Chendo tilted his head and asked. "I just think it's your trademark,"…-
