“Knock—knock-knock—knock-knock-knock.” “Knock-knock—knock—knock-knock-knock.” When the eerie knocking sound reached Boss Wu lying in bed with its unique rhythm, Boss Wu thought he was dreaming. It truly felt like sleep paralysis—that twilight zone between waking and dreaming. His eyes were closed, but he could sense a spot of dim, yellow light in the pitch-black distance; that was his bedside lamp, which he hadn't turned off. His body was completely immobilized. The air seemed…-

The three exchanged the logs in their hands. After finishing a full round of reading, all fell into silence. Outside the window, the wind and rain raged on as before. Yet the incandescent light overhead—which should have been steady—began to flicker unpredictably and turn dim, whether because of the storm outside or the long, harrowing narrative in their hands. In the end, Ji Xun broke the silence: "Chu Xingfa... he changed his name. He went by Ji Xingfa—he was my grandfather." Meng…

Ji Xun rapidly read through all the tucked-in contents inside the notebook. In just a minute or two—a period in which a normal person couldn't even finish reading a single entry—his brain had already frozen everything he saw into frame after frame of images, storing them in his memory. The characters within those images connected into lines and aligned into columns, telling him a... A bizarre and grotesque story. Ji Xun remained silent, countess thoughts and conjectures swirling into a…

Seeing a beauty smile comes with a price. The price was Ji Xun wearing gloves, sitting cross-legged in front of the trash can in the Chinese restaurant, and beginning to sort through the garbage. The trash can had indeed already been searched by Huo Ranyin; many items inside had been pulled out and categorized, leaving behind what should have been relatively unimportant. Even so, Ji Xun prepared to sort through it once more. After all, Huo Ranyin had his own perspective of observation, and Ji…

Time ticked away second by second. The three of them waited for ten minutes, but there was still no movement upstairs. Just to be safe, they waited an extra five minutes, yet still, nothing happened. Fifteen minutes had passed in total. If there really were a ghost on this ship, and if that ghost had accidentally knocked the microphone onto the floor to make that noise, fifteen minutes would have been enough time for it to parkour back and forth across the vessel five times over. “What’s going…

“I think Huo Ranyin makes sense,” Ji Xun expressed his position. Is what I said any different from what Huo Ranyin said? Meng Fushan glanced at Ji Xun. Since the three of them had reached a consensus, they began preparing for their upcoming actions. There was no rush to fight; there were still plenty of preparations to make before combat. They went up to the fourth floor first, heading toward the area where Mr. Liu worked and lived. Every bodyguard on this ship carried a gun, which meant there…

Siles was taken aback for a moment. Dorothea said, "I know the club you were previously responsible for is currently at a standstill due to the situation with the Dwight family. The department may end up reassigning you to another club internally. "In that case, why not become the faculty advisor for our club instead? We can't just keep enduring this passively." Siles felt a touched warmth at his students' fierce loyalty. He couldn't help a slight smile and said, "Thank you, Dorothea. I would be…-

A door on the second floor opened silently. The amber light from the hallway spilled onto the crimson carpet. On a corner wall, a damaged surveillance camera—its lens cracked into a spiderweb pattern—continued to stare down the hallway. Yet, it was strange, exceedingly strange. This narrow corridor led toward the spiraling central staircase at the front and faced the closed captain's cabin at the back. Within this long passage, it was completely empty and dead quiet—there wasn't a single soul…

"Meng Fushan—" Ji Xun took a step forward. "You stand still, too," Meng Fushan said coldly. "I won't shoot at you, but I have a knife in my hand." "..." "Ji Xun, use your brain. What, the moment you see your new friend, your brain turns into an endless ocean?" Meng Fushan narrowed his eyes, locking his gaze on Huo Ranyin. "Right now we are all on a ship, with no internet, no phone service. We are stranded on an isolated island, completely unable to verify outside information. By your logic, Chen…

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange. Ji Xun wanted to refute what Huo Ranyin had just said, but felt it didn't seem to be the main point right now. He rubbed his temples and negotiated with the two who were still locked in combat: "In short, can you guys stop first?" No one paid him any mind. Meng Fushan and Huo Ranyin remained locked onto each other, searching for weaknesses in the other to subdue them in a single blow. A friend's friend doesn't equal a friend; a lover's friend,…
