No matter how anxious Mo Zimu felt, he could only meet up with Tommy and Tom during the exercise break. The atmosphere on the playground today was unusually tense. Various groups huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, but Mo Zimu ignored them and went straight to his former cellmates. Both Tommy and Tom looked visibly agitated. Hope had been within their grasp, only to now seem like it was slipping away. Tom's expression was complex, while Tommy remained silent. "I'll figure out a way to…- 117.3 K • Completed
- Tom was energetically bouncing around as if practicing boxing, his eyes scanning the surroundings as he whispered to Mo Zimu, "Hatch drank that little cup of whiskey again." Mo Zimu smiled, and Tom continued, "Why let Hatch drink, huh?" Mo Zimu didn’t reply. Instead, he bent down and plucked a handful of purple flowers, bringing them to his nose for a brief inhale. Then, he opened his hand, letting the petals scatter into the wind. "Would Mammon send sick prisoners for medical treatment?" Mo…

- Rong Qing took out a box and opened it, revealing an antique Byzantine ring. After a brief silence, he said, "I never told you, but I actually won this ring at an auction." Mo Zimu’s gaze fell on the ring, its surface engraved with a matrimonial scene from the Holy Land. The intricate narrative style was rare, except in Byzantine rings, like a slowly unfolding epic cast in metal. The first time he had seen it was at an auction in Italy. Half-jokingly, he had told Rong Qing, If someone gave him this…

- Norton exhaled slowly and said, "Seven, starting tomorrow, you’ll come here every day. I’ll hand over these identities to you in batches." He paused, then suddenly pressed the gun hard against Mo Zimu’s forehead, his tone turning vicious. "But if you dare play any tricks…" "This is Mammon, isn’t it?" Mo Zimu raised his hands slightly in a gesture of surrender. "It’s surrounded by water, with nowhere to run. You need my help to get out, and, conveniently, I need yours too." Norton’s thin…

- Just as he was about to call out to Tom, Mo Zimu yelped and fell to the ground. His forward momentum knocking Berrick back several steps. Berrick caught himself by grabbing another prisoner’s arm, his face twisting in fury. Regaining his balance, he stomped on Mo Zimu's shoulder. "You did that on purpose!" He growled viciously. "Boss, who would intentionally fall on the ground?" Mo Zimu said, raising his scraped hand and explaining. Standing off to the side, Jude let out a derisive laugh, his…

- The man stared at Mo Zimu's face, his eyes filled with a complex mix of excitement, confusion, and something indescribably mixed in. He slowly lowered his head, pressing his lips to Mo Zimu's, but it was only a fleeting touch. He instantly pulled away as if he was shocked by his own action. Unsure if he was disgusted by the person he kissed or his own sneaky behavior, he fiercely wiped his lips with his hand and then turned and left. Now, the room was left with only Mo Zimu lying there quietly.…

- From Mo Zimu’s angle, he could see Tommy sitting up, holding a black leather wallet and carefully examining it. Tom noticed Mo Zimu looking down and leaned over to see what Tommy was doing. “You old cripple, looking at your daughter’s picture again?” Mo Zimu asked, “Tommy, do you have family?” "You could say I don’t…" Tommy smiled and put the wallet away. "We got separated when I was young. I don’t even know if she’s dead or alive." Mo Zimu turned to Tom. “What about you?…

- Tommy and his cellmates was back, completely intact. The other inmates were in shock. Once again, they had come out of Hunter’s Night unscathed, as if the danger had never been real. The entire prison buzzed with disbelief. Tommy and Tom’s status shot up overnight. Many prisoners enjoyed listening to Tom’s exaggerated stories. Somehow, his tales filled them with courage, strength, experience, and a bit of fantasy. The yard became Tom’s stage. He retold their adventures countless times, each…

- 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,…

- 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…
