Chapter 1 – Island of Saints α
by Salted Fish — The dark clouds never disperse. Along the dark and rugged corridor, he walked forward. The black stone walls were slick with dampness, covered in a thin layer of frost. Patches of dark green moss grew between the cracks, glistening under the faint firelight from the lamp troughs, dripping tiny beads of dew. From every wall, from every crack in the stone, came the undulating sound of hymns and the continuous Mass: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into…

Chapter 19 – Butter Knife
by Salted Fish — A small room, seven people seated in a circle, each with an experimental access terminal behind them. No. 0933 twitched his fingers, his consciousness still somewhat hazy. There were chaotic shouts in his ears—so familiar… As his senses gradually returned, he felt something wet and cold in his hand. He looked down and saw red—his eyes widened abruptly. Blood! He tried to stand but found his leg muscles hadn't fully recovered. His foot flailed and kicked something, producing a sharp…

by Salted Fish — 0416 followed Officer A to the fifth floor of the Central Tower. This was the third round of talks. He was the first to arrive, and only Officer C was in the meeting room. Unlike the previous two sessions, this time there were seven chairs arranged in the room. It seemed three people had been eliminated—no, he corrected himself—they were safe now. He sat down one seat away from C, appearing bored but actually feeling extremely anxious. Officer B must have noticed his special relationship with…

Chapter 17 – Mount Luoji (Part Two)
by Salted Fish — Naigu carried Datie on his back as they descended the mountain path. The Dira Clan members followed behind, carrying the body of the young chieftain. Datie's foot was injured, likely related to the death of his cat. Not long after leaving the village, he stepped into a wild boar trap set by his own people. His left calf swelled up, rendering him immobile. Lying on Naigu's back, he seethed, "My cat is dead, my foot is ruined, and now I have to compensate them with silver!" "What do you want to do?"…

by Salted Fish — 0416 followed Officer A and stopped in front of a prison pod. The door had an electronic number, starting with the prefix "01." A pressed the intercom on the door: "Partial power failure in some pods. 0416 will be temporarily housed here for one night." "What a lame excuse," 0416 muttered under his breath. A shot him a glare, unlocked the door with an electronic key, shoved him inside, then lowered the outer partition from the outside and removed his handcuffs. Inside was The Swordsman, sitting in…

Chapter 7 – Island of Saints θ
by Salted Fish — After returning from the refectory, The Convert entered the room, tossed down his scimitar, and was about to close the door when a hand wedged itself into the gap to stop it. He knew who it was and didn't bother resisting. He let go of the handle, allowing the other to enter. It was The Listener, looking agitated. He stepped inside, grabbed The Convert by the waist, and slammed him against the door with a thud. The Convert said nothing, his eyes lowered. His expression was so arrogant—so…

Chapter 8 – Island of Saints ι
by Salted Fish — After Morning Prayer, the monks gradually dispersed from the refectory. The Listener stayed behind, approaching The Mute, who was clearing away the soup bowls. "Brother, do you have any oil?" Oil? The Mute paused, looking at him in confusion. Of course, there was oil, but it was precious—only a tiny amount was used to prepare the vegetable soup and bread. The Listener pulled a row of ten gold coins from his sleeve. "Get me some," he said, tossing the money into The Mute's hand, which was still…

by Salted Fish — Forty-eight hours later. The Listener stood at the base of the refectory steps, about to ascend when someone tugged him from behind. He turned to see The Convert, whose cat-like eyes fixed on him with a gaze so clinging and stubborn that for a moment, he mistook him for him. "We look before and after, and pine for what is not!" The Convert said urgently. The Listener didn't understand, and the light in the other's eyes dimmed as the hand holding his loosened its grip. He had mistaken him for…
