The wind howled loudly, intermingled with the sounds of the churning ocean waves, as well as the screams of women rising and falling within that surge. It felt eerily unnatural, like ghost light rolling up from an abyss, or floating specters entangled around dried trees in a graveyard—invisible, inescapable, circling your ears, crying out again and again... Every bodyguard on the deck had blood on his hands. Yet even in this terrifying atmosphere, cold sweat broke out along their spines. What…-

They spun around abruptly. Standing near the hallway kitchen was an unfamiliar masked guest—tall and slender, appearing over 185 cm tall. Of course, that wasn't a guest. That was the Ghost! The Ghost held a single match in his hand, an empty oil can resting by his feet. Just as the Ghost had forewarned, the match was lit, its faint flame burning down the thin wooden stick. Under their watchful eyes, the wood charred bit by bit, curling slightly as it reached downward toward the carpet already…

The corridor remained quiet. When the sound of Boss Wu’s loud shouting completely vanished under Mr. Liu’s threat, the corridor fell silent for quite some time. Nothing was left except the cold wind blowing in from outside the ship, rustling back and forth through the hallway. It was a bit cold. The bodyguards walking back and forth couldn’t help thinking this, but Mr. Liu sat right in the middle of the corridor with his eyes closed to rest his mind, motionless and steady as Mount Tai.…

Chapter 40: The Eternal City "Permission verification passed." The heavy gates opened outward to both sides, and the shuttle carried its passengers into the Main City. The outer perimeter of the Eternal City had been all yellow dirt and gray dust, resembling an uncivilized medieval village where even the latrines were open-air. Unexpectedly, the Main City featured far more modern technology, with streetlights lining the roads. Bright light spilled from the windows of the castle, suggesting that…-

Chapter 39: They Were Not Equal Comrades-in-Arms with the Omnics—They Were Merely Protected Monkeys The signal emitted by the Omnic was extremely faint, lasting for only those few short seconds while the gate was open. Yet, Dongfang Qingdi still managed to capture that brief segment of encrypted radio waves. From it, Dongfang Qingdi decoded the Omnic's model, serial number, and distress message: — Apostle III: Gospel No. 1.2.5. — Damage level: 89%. Requesting assistance. Xiang Nanli…

A week had flashed by since the conclusion of the life-and-death duel. Rusted iron bars jutted out across the fractured ground like the snapped bones of a gnawed carcass. Within the ruins of the Blood Arena, where cages lay shattered and pillars remained broken, members of the resistance group Clepsydra were busily scavenging up and down, salvaging the relics left behind by the Chrono-Entropy Corporation. Quicksand was wandering aimlessly through the debris, holding a cup of Coptis root tea and…-

Memories surfaced vaguely, like a landscape emerging from behind a thick fog. The old man with the goatee recalled a day from long ago. Before the sky had turned completely dark, he and Diamonds had been sitting inside the dilapidated clinic, while the street outside was chopped into fragmented pieces by the shadows of hurried passersby. Diamonds’s lips moved, but the words falling into the old man's ears were entirely muffled, like echoes vibrating underwater. He heard Diamonds say with a faint…

Chapter 38: Which Line of Code Went Wrong? After saying that, Xiang Nanli drifted off into a groggy sleep. He had only woken up for a brief moment. Before falling back asleep, a thought flashed through Xiang Nanli's mind: Since Dongfang Qingdi is leaving, I should order a domestic housekeeping robot once I get back to Gusu City. He had saved up just enough money anyway. With his current income level, he could easily afford a higher-end model. He just didn't know if any would be as human-like as…

Edited by Xue-- Chapter 37: His Heart Beat Because of Xiang Nanli Most buildings in the Eternal City were earth-brick flat-roofed houses, with half of their structures buried underground. The construction costs for these houses were very low, and their heat retention was excellent, making them extremely popular among the city's residents. Here, only a select few could live in the "Main City District"—such as distinguished guests, individuals who had made outstanding contributions to the…

“‘This single word has run straight through my entire life...’” Ben let out a quiet sigh, his eyes drifting over the three people standing in front of him: “If possible, I really wish the people who came were a bit older—preferably older than me, and preferably a priest. That way, I could treat this conversation as my final confession. I could ask the priest to bear witness that my love for her was in no way inferior to her love for me. When I die, I will carry the most intense love…
