The faint green flame emitted a soft glow through the thin paper lampshade. The tiny points of light converged into a stream, swaying and pointing in one direction. The Guiding Green Lantern leads the way, the wandering soul returns home. Qi Si stood up straight, holding the lantern as he descended the stairs, with Qiu Xin following silently behind him like a ghost. The two went down to the first-floor hall, walked out of the Residence, and met up with a…-

Amidst the Bamboo Forest, the tiger demon's massive body kicked up thick layers of dust and smoke, spreading toward the heights and the distance like a rolling tide. Tang Yu saw the dust and smoke like a drop of thick ink falling into clear water, quickly spreading out and enveloping the entire Bamboo Forest, staining everything in sight black. More accurately, it wasn't that the Bamboo Forest was being stained black, but that his vision was being obscured by darkness. Lin…

In the year he died, Meng Fang struck a deal with the god in charge of Contracts; a new Yanghua Town was built upon the sea of blood and mountain of corpses of the old Yanghua Town. The bones of those who died tragic deaths were piled in the corners of the town, and tens of thousands of Scarecrows were cast into the town for the souls of the unjustly dead to possess. Those Scarecrows were in the shapes of humans and tigers, divided into various identities based on…

The sound of night watches could not be heard in the Bamboo Forest. Tang Yu and Lin Chen carried lanterns, walking quickly one after the other. Under the shifting light and shadows, white pebbles could be vaguely seen; the further they walked, the denser they became, sketching out a path between reality and illusion. After walking for a while, Tang Yu stopped and looked back at Lin Chen: "This is far enough. You've been following me the whole way." He feigned…

The diffusion of responsibility effect combined with herd mentality means that once immoral behavior becomes a group choice, the guilt borne by each individual is greatly reduced, and even acts that violate public order and good customs can be given legitimacy. But if everyone does it, does that make it right? Lin Chen descended the stairs, and when he reached the first-floor lobby, Tang Yu was sitting at a table, pouring himself bowl after bowl of wine. Seeing Lin…

Tang Yu's reaction was calmer than expected; there was neither fear nor anger in his eyes. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Qi Si with a cold sneer. "Qiu Xin told me. Your faction's main quest is to eliminate all humans. What's your plan now? Kill me outright, or turn me into a Wraith as well?" "Since I can still leave the Bamboo Forest as a human, it's clear enough you don't intend to turn me into a Wraith. That leaves only one…

Lin Chen had never seen a tiger like this. A two-story-tall behemoth walked slowly through the Bamboo Forest with its head held high; its rocky, well-defined musculature formed the shape of a tiger, but the fur on its surface grew wildly like needlepoints, shimmering with a divine golden light. The patterns on its fur had faded under the polish of time, and multiple parts of its body were damaged, revealing the grim white bones beneath its flesh; yet, this didn't diminish its majesty…

"You should already know by now—I am a Wraith," Qiu Xin said calmly, sitting on the wooden bed and looking around at everyone. The old man who managed the Residence had come up to check once and then left. The Scholar stood in the lobby downstairs, quietly guarding the food box and the wine jar. Qiu Xin only entered the Residence after the old man left, gathering with the players in Luo Haihua and her husband's room on the second…

The sky gradually brightened as mist rose like steam. Morning light, thin as silk ribbons, spilled through the window lattices into the room on the second floor of the Residence. Tang Yu and Lin Chen woke up on the bed at the same time. Last night, following the old woman's request, they had entered the same room. Not long after, the door had been locked from the outside. With the experience from the first night, they quickly completed their bed assignments and division of…

It was the second watch; one more watch and it would be the Zi Hour. Qiu Xin listened to the Night-Watchman's cries, carefully discerning the direction. She hadn't killed anyone today, but it wasn't too late to do so now. Based on the experience of the first night, the Night-Watchman was most likely the old man managing the Residence, and also the "living person" chosen by the townspeople to be sacrificed; the shadow behind him was human-shaped. Although she didn't…
