Chapter 48: When You Can't Win, Call for Backup Xiang Nanli turned off the microphone and grumbled, "The local dialect of this Eternal City is pretty tongue-twisting." On top of that, its vocabulary was sparse—a typical trait of an underdeveloped language. The Human Alliance language, derived from Mandarin, sounded much better. It was the black armor that responded. Alpha’s database hadn't stored this dialect either; after all, its data originated from Alpha 5.2.0, which hadn't been…-

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…-

Chapter 69: "Yo, Comrade War Criminal. Haven't..." Xiang Nanli bent over, hands resting on his knees. He looked back and forth between the moldy seeds on the ground and Beichen, who was squatting in front of the seeds deep in thought, his eyes brimming with anticipation. These seeds varied in size, some large and some small, but all were equally shriveled. After observing for a long time, Beichen spoke: "Fortunately, the temperature was low enough. You can't say they're completely useless. Extract…

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…

"You..." Mr. Liu said. He was nervous. The Silver Mask's hands came together, holding the mask he had just removed. Will I be recognized? Will this rouse Mr. Liu's suspicions? If it does... Huo Ranyin's gaze stopped wandering and locked firmly onto Mr. Liu’s aging face. One of the old man's inorganic, glass-like pupils stared back at him with cold detachment. Who is faster—a man, or a gun? Those dark, purplish lips—looking as though they had been dipped in poison—moved…

In the lounge on Floor 3.5, Huo Ranyin's ears twitched slightly. He glanced around his surroundings; inside the lounge, there were only himself, Boss Radish, and Short Boss. The other four bosses were not here. And the difference between them and those other four bosses was whether they had stayed in Boss Lin's room together with Mr. Liu when the second death occurred. Mr. Liu... was intentionally separating them. From the shouting below just now, vague words like "who" and "person" could be…

The fingers brushing against Ji Xun’s cheek brought a sudden rush of warmth like an electric current. Yet that tranquil warmth lingered on Huo Ranyin’s fingertips for only a split second before Ji Xun was dragged out of the sea and hauled up onto the deck. Watching this scene unfold with his own eyes, the sheer frustration of missing his grasp nearly robbed Huo Ranyin of his remaining sanity. He almost surfaced to grab Ji Xun—or be captured right alongside him. But it was meaningless. It…

"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?

Having been admitted on April 29th, nearly half a month of hospitalization allowed Ji Xun to watch the once-bare plane tree branches outside his window burst into a lush expanse of powdery purple clouds. Heavy clusters of blossoms weighed down the slender twigs, drooping until they touched the windowsill. Whenever a stray breeze blew past, a stray petal would wander into the palm of Ji Xun, who still struggled to lift his arms. "Sigh—" Ji Xun let out a long sigh, placing the petal resting in his…
