The downpour was torrential, and the iron-gray curtain of rain sliced the city into blurry blocks of color. The citizens slept soundly to the rhythm of the rain, completely unaware of the undercurrents surging through the city, as countless black silhouettes emerged from the shadows of the buildings. They stepped on the accumulated water, their hems brushing against rusty iron railings, their leather boots crushing the lamp reflections in the puddles, yet they made no sound whatsoever. The sound of…-

Late at night, Sirian and Dailin said goodbye at the street corner and returned to their respective homes. The road was not long, but it felt exceptionally drawn out. Dailin was both excited and uneasy, constantly recalling Sirian's plan; everything was clear, except for how to weave the story that would serve as the trap. The task of crafting the story still had to be entrusted to Anya; due to her past experiences, she knew too well how to dance between interpersonal…

Chapter 129: Sharing Life and Death “That’s all the information I gathered from Chief Rolf regarding the Giant God · Mianzhu and the Path of Return to Silence.” In front of the dimly lit bar, Sirian speared a chicken nugget, dipped it in ketchup, and said indistinctly. Dailin sat beside him, downcast. After bidding farewell to Rolf, Sirian rushed back to his apartment without stopping. The attire Meifuni had given him was too…

Rolf's words made Sirian scratch his head, unable to figure out what the Chief Technology Officer was up to. Compared to the first time he had met him, Rolf was clearly much more humorous and relaxed now. Perhaps it was because he was nearing retirement. Previously, carrying the heavy responsibilities of the City-state, even the most cheerful person inevitably looked serious. Now that he was finally saying goodbye to those duties, the tightly coiled spring instantly relaxed,…

Sirian took some time to process this series of information. "The Third Era... that sounds incredibly distant." He sighed softly. As his rank increased and he experienced more events, Sirian gained a deeper understanding of the history of the civilized world. Currently, the civilized world had already gone through seven eras. The First Era, the Age of Enlightenment, was so remote that written records did not even exist; only a few giant gods who had stood since that time…

"You don't want to see me again... because I'm a huge problem?" Sirian smiled helplessly, bracing himself to answer. Rolf didn't respond, still looking at the book. In the slightly oppressive silence, Sirian wanted to find a topic to break the ice, but after thinking it over and over for a long time, he didn't know where to start. In the end, Sirian gave up and remained silent, with only the rustling sound of turning pages. This strange state lasted for about ten…

Sirian gazed at himself in the mirror. His soft black hair was meticulously combed, with a few strands falling across his forehead, making his grey-blue eyes appear even deeper, like the sea before a storm. The charcoal grey morning suit he wore was made of high-quality wool blend, and its tailored fit outlined shoulders that exuded strength. The deep wine-red velvet waistcoat was ironed without a single wrinkle, revealing a stiffly starched white linen shirt at the collar, with a flawlessly tied…

Throughout history, the City Guard Bureau has handled many matters for the City-State Council that could not be made public, such as sealing away the existence of Reverse Falcon and destroying all records of his actions. Secret documents like these were carefully preserved by the City Guard Bureau in the location known as the…

After Sirian finished talking with Elton while sitting in his chair, his gaze became vacant, staring off into space. "What kind of person do you ultimately want to become?" This was a question Nun had left him with a long time ago. During the tragedy in White Cliff Town, the decisive battle against the Deathbird, and the farewell to Tim, Sirian had believed he found his purpose, but now it seemed that was not the case... All of Sirian's maturity and…

The two looked at each other for a long time until Elton stammered. "You must think I'm crazy, right?" "More than that," Sirian's sharp tongue retorted, "Even if your life isn't worth much, your savings are real. There's no need to waste them like this." "Ah... haha." Elton gave an awkward laugh and, after a long pause, explained. "A long time ago, I had this idea, but the thought wasn't firm. I kept thinking, 'next year,' 'the year after,' or 'when I've saved more money.' These…
