After emerging from his grandparents' house, Ji Xun headed first to the hospital. Apart from confirming some of his prior assumptions, this visit had brought a completely new question to his mind, which was the fundamental reason driving him to the hospital: Since Grandmother had never been to Fu Province, why did Grandfather have a photograph of himself holding an infant at the Fu Province pier? The probability of a male traveling alone with a small infant is extremely low. If it was for official…-

The name echoed in Ji Xun’s mind, like a heavy, sonorous note dropped from the sky, sinking to the depths, then stretched taut. The heavy, sorrowful resonance pressed firmly against his chest. After a brief stagnation, Ji Xun glanced at Huo Ranyin. The daylight filtered through the window bars, casting obscure, checkered shadows across Huo Ranyin’s cheeks. These shadows were like a living grey film, rising and falling with the rhythm of Huo Ranyin’s breath. "This is just speculative reasoning;…

Ji Xun didn't rush to leave. He turned back and, together with Huo Ranyin, began to carefully observe the Ananda statue. But sometimes, the more you care, the easier it is to exaggerate minor issues. Huo Ranyin, who had been carefully comparing Ananda to the other statues, overthrew his own previous theory. He rubbed his temples, seemingly trying to rub away the weariness of a sleepless night. "No, there’s nothing too special about it. It just looks brighter, likely because the sunlight outside…

The interior of Chi Qing’s room was completely impervious to light. Even the sparse glow capable of filtering in from outside the window was utterly blocked by the pure black blackout curtains. Rather than sight, what was far easier to perceive in this space was each other’s breathing and heartbeat. In the overly dark environment, it took Xie Lin a long time to adjust before he could discern the silhouette of Chi Qing’s face. He saw his fan-like eyelashes, lowered anxiously and…-

The morgue was about ten square meters in size. Chi Qing and Xie Lin stood between rows of cadavers. The body Chi Qing had accidentally touched lay straight on an iron bed. It was visibly male, lean, and about 178cm tall. The man’s body was shriveled and rigid. Most of the skin tissue had been meticulously removed, leaving only the skeleton and muscle tissue. The frame was complete, with strands of dark-red muscle wrapped densely around the bones. "It" was different from the simulation props found…

With Luo Sui gone, the gathering—which was supposed to be a discussion but was actually a shouting match—could naturally no longer continue. Consequently, there was no conclusion regarding the brooch that had been forcibly gifted to Huo Ranyin. "Don't you think things are somewhat strange?" Ji Xun asked Huo Ranyin after they stepped out. "Many things are strange," Huo Ranyin closed his eyes. "We met Old Hu twice, and both times he was very energetic. Yet, in less than a month, he's just dead?…

Upon boarding the massive vessel and entering the corridor, a waiter immediately approached to collect the life jackets. Ji Xun slipped off his life jacket, his gaze sweeping briefly over the large trolley where the jackets were being piled up. Without lingering, he continued forward. A plush crimson carpet, a hallway adorned with framed paintings, two doors resembling the entrance to a palace, and the sight that greeted him when those doors swung open—young women sitting serene and tranquil,…

Ji Mingrui couldn't easily look for Chi Qing; it wasn’t right from any perspective, emotionally or rationally.

This man, who had allegedly violated criminal law right after his birthday and was currently evading arrest, was the friend of his best buddy. Chi Qing was the only person likely to find Xie Lin, but it wasn't convenient for him to get…

The coldest months of the year have passed, and since the weather warmed up, it hasn't dipped back down. Pedestrians on the streets have slowed their pace, and the greenery along the roadside is gradually reviving, with some plants sprouting tiny green tips. Xie Lin arrived early in the morning with breakfast, habitually entering the password to Chi Qing’s door lock. With a "beep," the lock clicked open. In the entryway, the number of slippers had grown from one pair to two—and both were the same…
