"Ha—" All the pain merged into half a muffled groan that was crushed and swallowed back down before it could even leave his throat. It was so faint that it was completely lost in the pitter-patter of the rain. Ji Xun's right arm had been shot and could not be raised; the moment his left arm moved, the weight-bearing bone at his collarbone throbbed as if it were being crushed inch by inch. Gritting his teeth, he forced his left hand upward, grabbing the chain attached to the hook, doing…-

Ji Xun’s foot stopped just short of the curtains. The wind was howling outside, but the curtains were not blown entirely wide open because two panels were clipped together. This helped block the violent gusts to some degree, keeping this veil that concealed the truth right where it belonged. Ji Xun was in no hurry to reach out and pull the curtains aside. He stood there, thought for a moment, and said, “Where should I begin...” Outside were wind and rain; all around were residents with…

Chapter 60: I Will... Catch You Again. "Done." Xiang Nanli attached the metallic head back onto the little robot's paralyzed body. Compared to Beichen's previous head, this one obviously had more of a sci-fi, technological feel. The overall shape was that of a human head—though it looked slightly like an alien's; at least he didn't have to walk around with a glass tank displaying his brain like a decorative centerpiece anymore. Xiang Nanli soldered the neural transmission wires and powered it…-

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 sudden turn of events hit everyone's minds on the scene like a bolt of invisible, chained lightning. The first to react was Meng Fushan. He stepped toward the collapsed Boss Jiang, intending to check on his condition. But before he could reach him, a hand firmly clamped around his arm. He turned his head to see the Silver Mask. "Get the hell away." Huo Ranyin didn't bother hiding his hostility toward Meng Fushan, using force to pull him back behind himself. Right after, he immediately squatted…

Chapter 69: Before Dawn (8) Watching two ghosts sit across from each other playing chess was an incredibly bizarre sight, especially in an abandoned attic covered in cobwebs and dust from years of neglect. There was also a fresh corpse lying on the bed in the attic. How fresh? Ignoring the gazes from the two ghosts, Tang Cuo walked right past them as if nobody was there, reached out to touch the corpse, and found it still retained some residual warmth. He couldn't help but look at the man sitting…-

Chapter 58: The Heart Will Tell You the Answer Xiang Nanli reached out and touched his own neck. It was wet. He said in shock: "Xiao Qing, why are you leaking fluid?" When many bionic robots were manufactured, a layer of coolant would be injected just under the surface of their skin to prevent the chips from overheating. Even though Xiang Nanli had never built one himself, he had read a few books on the subject. He cupped Dongfang Qingdi's face in his hands. Xiao Qing kept his head bowed,…

Chapter 65: Geothermal Well. After eating, Xiang Nanli began to feel drowsy. He crawled into his sleeping bag and felt the soft thermal blanket envelop him. He adjusted his sleeping posture and then spoke, "Xiao Qing, goodnight." "Goodnight." Xiang Nanli pulled up the zipper in front of his eyes, and the world around him plunged into darkness. In this household, only he and Beichen still needed sleep. Xiang Nanli's sleep quality was always enviable, and soon, Dongfang Qingdi sensed that…

Chapter 51: Liberator’s Monument (Part 1) The judgment logic of artificial intelligence and humans is entirely different. Take an example: A parent tells a child what an apple is. The next time the child sees an apple, their mind instantly understands what it is. They won't mistake it for an "orange" or a "watermelon." But artificial intelligence is different; it cannot recognize it. It requires a massive database to learn—to scan, deconstruct, and establish anchor points for the concept of…

Chapter 50: The Eternal City (3) Xiang Nanli slept deeply and peacefully, even dreaming of his childhood. Did a human's life truly begin on the day of their birth, or did it only count once memories took shape? Xiang Nanli had been born on a spring morning, but his earliest memory was set on a midwinter night. "What is he saying?" his aunt asked. "Have you taken him to see a doctor? Is there something wrong with his nervous system? Or is it facial paralysis?" his grandfather chimed…
