Amidst the dense coconut grove, Angela followed closely behind Lu Li, heading toward the altar. After following silently for a stretch, she feigned concern and asked, "Expert Lu Li, how did you enter the Eerie Game?" Lu Li sighed, a layer of sorrow clouding his eyes: "My family member fell seriously ill and needed a lot of money. With my abilities, I couldn't raise such a large amount without breaking the law... When I was at my wit's end, the invitation appeared." "I…-

Qi Si sat quietly for a moment, then felt an itch rise in his throat, as if some furry, living thing were clawing at his windpipe. While the other players were still wrestling with the fish on the table, he slipped back to the second floor and into his own room. The bed-sheet that had wrapped the painting had somehow come undone, revealing the white-robed man standing in the center of the canvas. It was already morning; last night's face of resentment had retracted every shred of malice and…

【Long before the ancient times, the Ancestor God's bones walked the desolate earth, harboring immense terror within the dome of its skull. Most who witnessed Its true form were driven to madness; only a prophet from a tribe that worshipped the god discerned the truth of sin within it. The prophet recounted the story he knew to his tribesmen, but the angry people accused him of being an evil spirit spreading heresy. The execution on the crucifix proceeded as scheduled, and…

Qi Si opened his eyes to see a leaden, gray sky. Beneath the sky stood a row of dark yellow European-style buildings, constructed with alternating wood and stone bricks. The houses were clustered tightly together, so cramped that not a glimmer of light could escape. Murals and shrines rich with religious atmosphere were bathed in shadow, the expressionless eyes of mythical figures staring directly at Qi Si. Men and women in rags moved between the archways. They were all Caucasians with high…

The two didn't discuss the wings further. If leaving the Hopeless Sea was as simple as being killed, then the faction mission should be renamed 'Good Deeds Start with Me'. Killing someone from another faction wouldn't just stain oneself with sin, making atonement harder; it would also allow the opponent to clear the game painlessly—what a grand drama of self-sacrifice for others. —It didn't fit the underlying logic of the Eerie Game at all. Disordered footsteps sounded…

In the first-floor hall, the players settled for dinner and introduced themselves to one another. Besides Lu Li, seven other players claimed to have guild backgrounds, though they were all from obscure, minor guilds. Lu Li said, "It's getting late. Everyone should search their rooms for clues and then get some rest. Regardless of your thoughts on the side quest, I sincerely hope we can split into three teams tomorrow to explore the Clock Tower, the Altar, and the Coconut…

Before long, Yuna wheeled a food cart out from behind the counter, bringing with her a pungent reek of fish. The smell wasn't quite nauseating, but it was far from pleasant, reminding Qi Si of a salted-fish workshop he'd visited years earlier. In that dark, cavernous room, the floor had been carpeted with fish corpses; he'd half suspected he was one of those rotting bodies—hardly a happy memory. The odor was arresting enough that every player instinctively held their breath…

"We're here, it's just ahead." Yuna gestured to the players, then turned and entered the wooden house. Qi Si followed the other players and walked in behind Yuna. The inn, built of wood, looked small from the outside but was quite spacious inside, furnished with over a dozen tables of various sizes, arranged like a restaurant. The walls, seasoned by the sea breeze, persistently gave off a salty, fishy odor, and the wooden furnishings were dotted with tooth-mark-like…

The players retreated as if facing a formidable foe. After losing its target, the Merman statue lowered its head and remained motionless, its gaze falling upon the marble wings beside its base with sorrow and longing. Liu Yuhan stared at the statue for two seconds and said softly, "It wants to regain the wings on the ground, but its movements are confined to the area of the base, so it cannot reach them." Zhang Hongfeng asked, "Then should we help it put the wings on?" "Don't touch…

The tremors on the deck finally subsided, and even the sea wind gentled. The light grew brighter, yet the sky stayed a sickly yellow. Qi Si saw yellow heavens and motionless yellow clouds, like an oil painting. Thin cloud-threads sketched the outline of a colossal eye in the sky, evoking the captain's mention of ‘the Sea God's Eye', then vanished the instant Qi Si blinked. Qi Si blinked again; only after two seconds did he realise he had somehow gone from standing to…
