Green Frog Hospital, by the pond. The Female Teacher's body slammed straight down onto the muddy ground, crisscrossing bloodstains crawling across her bare wrists and neck, and her black suit was damp with blood. The Shadow Ghost, having finished harvesting a life, curled up contentedly into an irregular mass about half the size of a person. The shadow's area receded like a tide, shrinking and disappearing beneath the umbrella's surface. A suspicious "crunching" sound rang out beneath…-

The forty-eighth year of legitimacy, the first day of the third lunar month. After twenty days of marching, one hundred thousand Wu Army Soldiers arrived at the border between the two countries. The next day, the Yannan Pass, the northeast gateway to Southern Zhao, fell that very day. The Wu Army did not linger; leaving behind a small detachment, the main force continued south on the second day of the third month. Wherever the great army arrived, the Zhao…-

【Soul Contract has been signed. This Contract is guaranteed by the rules of the world; no entity may defy it.】 At Blue Frog Hospital, Qi Si stood in the dense, light-scarce fog, his murky shadow making him resemble a forest wraith. Or rather, he was already meant to be a Ghost. The system interface grew darker and darker, turning the charred black of burnt paper, with an eerie red glow at the edges, creeping inwards like blood vessels. Blood-red text refreshed…

The next day. Early in the morning, Ding Suian followed the address provided by Lin Hansu and arrived at Xingping Ward in the southeast of Central Heaven City. The Lin family residence was located within the ward. Lin Dafu put on no airs; after receiving the visiting card, he personally came to the gatehouse to meet Ding Suian. "Squad Leader Ding, let us set out now." "Going right now?" "You have to report to the Dianqian…

Lanyang Prefecture was filled with a chilling air of solemnity. It was foreseeable that today or tomorrow, the Emperor's imperial envoys, high-ranking court officials, big shots from the Three Sages Palace, and even the Director of the West Yamen would arrive one after another. After a day and night of fermenting, the public's acceptance of the theory that the 'Tiandao Palace' had been struck by heavenly lightning far exceeded any other speculation. People are just like that;…

At 7-9 am, the gates of Lanyang Prefecture were locked. In broad daylight, the streets were empty, save for the occasional patrolling yamen runner, resembling a ghost town. Everyone could feel the atmosphere of an impending storm. Not long after Ding Suian returned to the manor, he was invited by Lin Hansu to the third courtyard, Chengxi Hall. Upon meeting, Lin Hansu looked Ding Suian up and down several times. "Where did you go last…

Half a day? But I'm about to be controlled and forced into the pond. I won't even last half a minute... Lin Chen felt bitterness in his heart and silently thought, "Brother Qi, I've been parasitized by Puppet Threads..." He briefly recounted what happened after the consciousness connection was severed, like a drowning person grabbing a frayed rope dangling from the shore. Qi Si stood askew at the stairwell entrance, listening quietly and patiently. After…

It was about the middle of the mao hour, and the sky had not yet fully brightened. Night Contain was woken up by the noise outside. Before she even opened her eyes, she felt a slight pain where her thigh was being pressed down. ... Turning her head, she saw the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face next to her pillow, and Night Contain suddenly flipped over and sat up. The person beside her was none other than her nominal lover, the colleague she had kissed, and the partner…

Late Hour of the Pig. Ding Suian, dressed in black night-clothes, checked his fire starters one last time. Everything was in order, and he flipped out of the back window of the Hehuan Cage. His nimble figure blended into the night. A hundred feet away. Inside a dark attic in the backyard of the Pinshu Pavilion, Ruan Guofan stood by the window alongside a Daoist with a goatee. Moonlight spilled down, and the shadows of the trees swayed. Ruan Guofan stared…

At the Green Frog Hospital, Qi Si followed the procession of female corpses through the long corridor, walked to the flat level at the end of the hall, and knocked open the door to the morgue. Dozens of iron beds lined both sides, all covered with identical white sheets, but the outlines still showed that the right side was exclusively female corpses, while the bodies on the left included both males and females. Qi Si glanced at the bracelet on the wrist of the corpse nearest…
