DO Not Step Into The Unknown

Chapter
DNSTU 14. Training
by Slashh-XO — Training The training room was located in the basement of the guesthouse, completely soundproofed. Xiang Ye received the first gun of his life, but he felt no joy at all. His instructor told him, “You’ve got good potential,” yet during demonstrations, that same instructor would crush him with sheer strength and precision. More frustrating than that was the fact that his expression never changed. Serious and cold, giving no room to relax. He showed no scorn, no amusement, just a quiet,…

DNSTU 13. Misty Inn
by Slashh-XO — Jingzhou was more than twelve hundred kilometers from Jiangzhou. The three of them set off early in the morning and did not arrive until nightfall. Xiang Ye had never been to Jingzhou before. In fact, this was the first time in his life he had ever left the province. But high-rises looked the same everywhere, and he found them dull. He fell asleep somewhere along the way and only woke when they were close to their destination. Outside the window, neon lights flashed and cars crowded the road. Xiang…

DNSTU 12. Chu Lian
by Slashh-XO — Why give three days to decide? Because three days later, on June 25th, the college entrance exam results came out. When Xing Zhou told Xiang Ye, “You can check your scores now,” he was completely stunned. At that moment, he had already returned to the unfinished building to recover, sitting in a rocking chair with a cup of warm milk in his hands. “What did you say?” That was his instinctive reaction. “Gaokao results,” Xing Zhou repeated. Only then did Xiang Ye remember that he…

DNSTU 11. Fragile and Mad
by Slashh-XO — Xiang Ye thought he might have gone a little mad. He had dashed out and tackled the man who was about to be struck by a stone, pinned him to the ground, and even though his strength had already reached its limit, he could still fight. It felt like his body no longer belonged to him, moving on instinct alone, driven by sheer force of will. When he could not land a punch, he kicked. When he could not kick, he tripped. He clung to the man, not even checking whether he was hurt himself. He was utterly…

DNSTU 10. Truth
by Slashh-XO — Xiang Ye could not swim. Worse yet, he seemed cursed when it came to water. Chen Junyang could swim, but he was worried about leaving Xiang Ye alone on the island. His grip on the blade tightened. Frustration flared so strongly that he wanted to curse out loud. A violent edge gathered between his brows, and he looked ready to cut someone again. Xiang Ye, however, remained calm. “You go in. I’ll stay on shore and ring the bell.” Chen Junyang blinked. “What?” Xiang Ye walked over to the…

DNSTU 9. Water Ghost
by Slashh-XO — Chen Junyang asked Xiang Ye a second time, “Are you going back?” Xiang Ye countered, “Did you notice something?” Chen Junyang put away his phone. “The smell of blood.” He lunged forward and dashed out of the courtyard. The evening wind had turned bleak. There were hardly any people in the village, but off in the distance, a faint light glimmered from the woods. Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t just any light. It was coming from the temple by the pond, filtering dimly through the…

DNSTU 8. Guan Shuai Tan
by Slashh-XO — He still didn’t know where to start looking for Chu Lian, but he could at least get a new phone. Old Xiang had left him twenty thousand yuan when he passed. Buying a phone was well within his means, and he had no need to spend Xing Zhou’s money. He asked Xing Zhou to send him the case files related to the incident, and Xing Zhou simply took his phone and installed an app for him. The app was called Happy Landlord Battle. The moment Xiang Ye saw the name, he briefly wondered if Xing Zhou had…

DNSTU 7. The Sketch
by Slashh-XO — A single sketchbook stirred up a new wave of questions. Xiang Ye decided to open every box in the storage room and examine each item one by one, leaving nothing unchecked. But his attention remained focused on the sketchbook. “Old Xiang made his living selling calligraphy and paintings. He had several sketchbooks like this one. I always thought it was strange. What he sold publicly was much worse than what he drew in private. He could clearly paint so much better, yet he chose to accept just a few…

DNSTU 6. Little Sprite
by Slashh-XO — Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Xiang Ye returned once again to the unfinished building. It had only been a day since he last left, and everything looked exactly the same as it had yesterday. Yet to his eyes, it all felt strangely unfamiliar. The world was no longer the one he thought he knew. Old Xiang was not merely an eccentric old man. If everyone who left Lu Ye was fated to pass through a gate, then to Xiang Ye, that gate should be called Rashomon. A place suspended between truth and…

DNSTU 5. Lu Ye
by Slashh-XO — When Xiang Ye woke up again, he was in an unfamiliar hotel room. The room was dim, lit only by a single ray of light slipping through the blackout curtains and falling right across his face. He raised a hand to block it and tried to sit up, but his bones still ached and his head felt heavy, like he had slept too long and muddled his brain. It took about ten minutes before he was fully awake. He got out of bed and pulled the curtains open with a sharp swish. Sunlight flooded in. Outside, traffic…
