Adolf glanced at the items they were carrying, and sneered. “Trash, grab your things and get out here! Hurry up!” he barked. The heavy gates creaked open, and the cold night air rushed in. They stepped into Mammon Forest, where darkness devoured the land, broken only by the moon’s ghostly glow. The hunt was about to begin. Mo Zimu had Tommy and Tom arrange the lanterns in a triangular formation. They first aligned two points in a straight line, then used a diagonal to find the midpoint,…- 117.3 K • Completed
- Mo Zimu stood up, his gaze falling on the table below, where there was still a bottle of whiskey. He pointed at it and said, "I want this!" Ivan glanced at it and smiled. "You're underage, you can’t drink." "At my age, you probably shouldn’t be pinning me to the bed either." Ivan seemed to realize he was in the wrong. Scratching his brow, he said, "You're such a stubborn kid. Fine, just this once. But don’t let me catch you drunk again, or you’ll be in trouble." Mo Zimu grabbed the…

- On the eve of Thanksgiving, Mo Zimu earned himself a brief moment of phone privileges after screening a few adult films for the big shots in A Block. He dialed the number for his guardian in Austria. On the other end, there was sobbing even before any words were spoken. “My poor Seven…” “Glenna, dear, don’t cry. If you cry off your eyeliner, wouldn’t that be a shame?” Mo Zimu said with a smile. He did his best to hide in the deepest part of the library, sitting on a windowsill. The…

Lian Ai tossed and turned through the night until dawn. At first light, he rose from bed. When Fen Zi entered the room carrying breakfast, she saw him already dressed and washed, sitting quietly by the table. “You’re up early, young master.” Fen Zi forced a smile as she placed each item from the tray onto the table. When she reached the last two, her movements slowed slightly. There was a trace of extra care in her hands. Lian Ai glanced down and saw a sheet of aged paper. He picked it up…- 157.9 K • Completed
- When the rain let up a little, Lian Ai crawled out of the hollow and set off again. He didn’t know how long he had been walking. When he reached a small stream, he crouched to drink and rest. As he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the water and froze. The rain had washed away all the blood and dirt from his face. The wound on his forehead was deep that torn flesh could be seen. His fingers trembled as he reached up to touch it. The pain made him shiver. He stared at…

- When Lian Ai regained consciousness, both his hands and feet were tied. There was a deep, dull ache at the back of his neck. His gaze settled on the campfire a short distance away, and slowly, his memory began to return. He had been struck unconscious in the alley. That girl… had tricked him? “Chief, the kid’s awake.” Startled by the voice, Lian Ai turned his head and saw two burly men seated by the fire. One of them, shorter and stockier, got up and walked toward him. “This one…

- In the bamboo pavilion of Prince Yong’s residence, the white gauze curtains fluttered gently in the breeze. Zuo Lingxue and Prince Yong sat across from each other at the chess table, one playing black, the other white. The black pieces had gained a powerful advantage. The white pieces were on the verge of defeat, yet their player remained calm and unhurried, seemingly indifferent to the outcome. “I’ve hidden my strength for years, bowed to that venomous woman as if she were my mother. How much…

- Zuo Lingyu grinned, showing a row of white teeth. “Of course it’s me. You’ve been hiding in the general’s estate. I’ve been looking for you for ages.” He leaned in to examine Lian Ai’s cheek more closely. A frown tugged at his brows. “What happened to your face? Did Bu Nian hit you?” Lian Ai tried to pull his hand away but couldn’t. Holding back his irritation, he said, “Let go of me first. Then we can talk. This isn’t from the general. I bumped into something by…

- After Bu Nian was injured, many people came to visit and deliver gifts. The steward recorded everything carefully so the general could return the favors later. As for the visitors, they were all turned away. The reason given was that the general should not be disturbed while recovering. Two days passed like that. Then someone arrived who couldn’t be turned away. Not even the steward dared to try. It was Princess Fuqu. The steward touched his beard, looking troubled. “The general is still…

- Lian Ai forced his weak body upright and crawled toward Daoist Ji Yuan’s corpse. The moment he saw the man’s eyes wide open in death, his heart clenched. He quickly turned his face away and reached for the man’s waist. His hand brushed over the key at Ji Yuan’s waist. Gripping it tightly, he turned back and struggled to unlock the cell door. His legs had no strength left, so he slumped against the doorway. Bu Nian slowly opened his eyes. He braced himself against the iron bars and stood, each…
