      Chapter 107: Shuangxi Town (Part 1) – Walking the Yin Path Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 “Let me tell you, this Shuangxi Town of ours is the biggest town for miles around. If you look elsewhere, it’s all backwater corners; you won’t find a town as big as ours anywhere else!” The hoarse voice sounded like a brush rubbing against tree bark, ringing out cheerfully beside him, accompanied by the “swish-swish” sound of wooden oars hitting the water. Qi Si opened his eyes and found himself sitting on a wooden raft. Standing in front was a thin, withered old man…

      Chapter 106 – Black Dog Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 “Feed you once and you come begging every single time…” It was almost noon, yet the sky remained as dim as dawn; any sense of the hour blurred, and anyone caught in the murk felt listless, drowsy, half-alive. Qi Si had just woken. For once he actually went downstairs and, in a snack-bar about to close for the morning, bought breakfast. He hadn't planned to eat—waiting until evening and solving all three meals with one packet of instant noodles was clearly more economical. But the…

      Chapter 105 – Aftermath Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 On the night of March 21, the moderately famous strategy blogger 【Yuhan】 posted a new thread on the game Forum. #Hopeless Sea instance Summary & The Puppeteer Incident from Start to Finish# 【1st floor (OP): I'm Liu Yuhan; by chance I experienced the latter half of the Hopeless Sea instance together with Chang Xu and Si Qi. Seeing a lot of people asking what happened after Chang Xu turned off his stream, I'll start from…

      Chapter 104: Wolf and Sheep Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 In a hidden, militarized base in the eastern district of Xiang City, White Crow, dressed in a pristine white robe, walked slowly past the phalanx of followers training. She was over thirty, with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes born from years of weary travel, and her skin had lost its elasticity and luster. Yet, from her bright eyes, high nose bridge, and full lips, one could still infer her former beauty. She was often smiling, always gentle and kind, and her figure was always…

      Chapter 103: “I Am Here” Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 In the Ruins of the Sunset, two lines of text refreshed on the public stone tablet: 【Hopeless Sea instance True End - "Fish and Bird" has been recorded】 【MVP Player: ** (This player has not set a display nickname)】 The players gathered nearby were buzzing with discussion. "Is Chang Xu still alive? The MVP isn't him; I remember his nickname is just his real name..." "He hasn't had time to set a nickname, looks like it's his first time getting a record.…

      Chapter 102: Hopeless Sea (End) – Zero – Reset Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 On the other side, Chang Xu walked step by step toward the statue in the center of the altar. Countless thoughts that did not belong to him washed over his consciousness, gradually merging with his own train of thought. Bizarre and grotesque scenes drifted around him, and the phantom of a giant whale swam above his head. The person walking felt as if he were on the seabed, stumbling forward with every step. A stone tablet appeared before him once again. Chang Xu stopped, his…

      Chapter 101 – Hopeless Sea (25) Yesterday Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 The instant the notification 【Contract Established】 appeared, Qi Si pocketed the blade and reached down to haul Chang Xu off the floor. When the first tug failed, he simply let go, folded his arms, and gave a concise recap of what had happened. “The three puppets were Hans, Ye Linsheng, and Lu Li. After Hans died by accident, I guessed Lu Li was one of them and confronted him. To keep me from exposing him in public, he shifted…

      Chapter 99: Hopeless Sea (23) Winner Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 In the evening, the dinner table was once again covered with fish meat reeking of fishiness. Eight players sat in the center of the hall, silently eating with their bowls and chopsticks. Liu Yuhan quickly scooped seaweed into her bowl. This was the only dish she felt safe eating and was willing to swallow. Perhaps because there were fewer competitors, the amount of seaweed she managed to grab this time filled almost half a bowl. She silently put the coarse, salty, and fishy seaweed into her…

      Chapter 98 Hopeless Sea (22) Vice – sin Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 A group of players, led by Liu Yuhan, carried the angel corpses scavenged from the kitchen and walked slowly toward the seaside. These people initially thought clearance was imminent and, in an atmosphere of revelry, used the feathers from their own bodies to make wings. It wasn't until they had processed all the feathers that they realized the quantity was insufficient; they were still one set short. Liu Yuhan stepped forward at the right moment, calling on them to storm the…
