Unit 1101, Block 12, Riverside Estate. Si Qi leaned against the window of the second bedroom, listening as the footsteps outside the door drew nearer. A bomb within ten metres could reduce a target hiding behind the door to dust, yet the Investigators clearly had no intention of taking his life. Whether because of new orders or simple complacency toward a once-dangerous being now reduced to mortality, a voice blared through a loudspeaker: "Qi Si, you are surrounded. Cease all…-

The premeditated explosion kept raging. Shrapnel and a wall of heat slammed into Si Qi; great tongues of fire licked across his body as the stench of scorched flesh mingled with the reek of blood. He raised a hand to his cheek and neck and found it dripping—scarlet blood flecked with gold poured over him like a waterfall. His crimson suit drank up the red, leaving only intricate veins of molten gold. Lin Jue had stocked enough explosives to wipe out both terrorist and hostage in one…

Xiang City, downtown. The first governor's statue towered above the square; from below, the up-thrust right hand gripping a banner seemed to brush the sky. It had been hollowed out during construction and fitted with a spiral staircase. At the top waited a cubicle of less than five square metres; two windows aligned with the statue's eyes, and from them one could survey all Xiang City and even glimpse the winding coastline at its edge. White Crow pushed the window open, letting the bitter…

In the depths of a safe house converted from an air-raid shelter in Kazan, White Bear County, Meng Wenfei sat at her desk, watching information scroll rapidly across her computer screen. The guild factions in the Eerie Game consisted only of Jiuzhou, Tingfeng, Sera, and the rest—at most, one could add the Balance Guild, which had a profound influence on reality, and the recently disruptive Unnamed Guild. Most small guilds either relied on large…

In just three days, the chaotic situation quickly stabilized. Reality once again confirmed the conclusion already drawn by history: although dictatorial actions are often criticized, they are the most effective way to achieve unified agreement among scattered humans in a short period. Jiang City lifted its lockdown on the third day. Although the Rose Monsters within the city had not been completely eliminated, they were successfully confined to specific areas due to the intervention of Lin Jue and a…

Land tainted by Eerie no longer knows day from night; grotesque horrors prowl the streets without rest, hunting any life not yet turned. The unarmed civilians were devoured first. Next came the federal troops who charged to the front lines yet had no experience with Eerie. Those at the apex of the food-chain fled early with their wealth, leaving the city's worker-ants—who create value but never taste it—to hold out alone. Soon even they were decimated. The riff-raff who once haunted the gray…

【One】 Qi Si felt that everything today seemed strange. The alarm clock by his bed had been replaced with “Gloomy Sunday” by who-knows-who. The opening line, “Sunday is gloomy,” had a distorted sound like an old cassette from the last century, a premonition of lurking ghosts. During breakfast, his father and mother sat neatly on the other side of the long table, their faces adorned with identical, perfectly appropriate smiles, simultaneously picking up dumplings with their chopsticks…

On May 11th, the post Si Qi made on the Weird Game Forum continued to ferment. The number of players only accounted for a very small fraction of the entire human population, but they were distributed across all strata and industries, including high-ranking officials in the Federal Government and directors of monopoly groups, enough to exert extraordinary influence on this world. The global turmoil that swept through the past week left them with lingering fears. Although they managed to survive by…

A record exists in the archives of the Weirdness Investigation Bureau: At 6 PM on the evening of May 10, 2014, climbers reported to the Shangri-La Public Security Bureau that they had discovered a suspicious-looking man and woman on the mountaintop. They had never seen them during the ascent, yet the pair appeared seemingly out of nowhere on the highest peak of the snowy mountain, carrying no climbing equipment and dressed in clothes suitable for late spring/early summer. The guide mentioned that the…

May 10, 2014, on the snowy mountain. The ice-blue sky was clear and cloudless; standing on the towering ridge and looking up, it felt as if one could see beyond the universe through the dome.

Thousands of climbers from all over the world had gathered here, led by local guides to climb this snowy mountain known as the highest peak in the world, demonstrating the courage and power of conquering nature. Every year, people leave their bodies on the…
