“Uncle?” This was by no means a polite title; it could only mean... an actual blood relation. But how did Ji Xun know? “Come on in.” It wasn't just Huo Ranyin and Meng Fushan who were caught off guard; even Ben felt a sudden wave of shock and suspicion. Yet after that brief moment of astonishment, he stepped aside, allowing the three of them to walk into the room. He then switched on the light. The bright illumination dispersed the darkness, fully exposing the head chef’s…-

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…

A thunderous crack echoed. Lightning sliced through the sky first, followed by the belated rumble of thunder. At the sound of the muffled thunder, Ji Xun looked at Boss Wu and suddenly asked, “Whose descendant do you think we are?” Boss Wu was caught off guard, but almost immediately, a spark of fury seemed to brew beneath his terror. Without hesitation, he locked onto an answer: “...Chu Xingfa’s descendant!” Chu Xingfa’s descendant. He actually wasn't wrong. I really am Chu…

“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…-
