      by AshPurgatory2025 After everyone crossed the stone tablet at the village entrance inscribed with the three characters "Su Clan Village," a crisp child's voice rang out in the air, singing a nursery rhyme: 【The year is hungry, the year is barren, with no rice or flour to survive the disaster.】 【Outside the ancestral hall, beside the locust tree, set up a big pot to boil meat and taste.】 Qi Si looked in the direction the sound was coming from. On the bleak, dead old tree sat a skinny, pot-bellied boy.…

      Chapter 28 Social Darwinism Cover
      by AshPurgatory2025 Qi Si arrived back at his apartment complex at midnight. The old complex was a scar on the city, rotten from the inside out. The first wave of tenants had gradually moved away, leaving behind trash that included both the poor and the elderly. After the poor became poorer, new poor people moved in; after the elderly died, new elderly moved in to wait for death. Water and electricity were cut off every ten or fifteen days. The ground was covered in phlegm and bird droppings that hadn't…

      by AshPurgatory2025 The blackness around him was erased as if by an eraser, and color rippled back in. Golden vines danced like phantoms before his eyes, then dissolved into motes of light in an instant. Qi Si blinked and found himself still standing in the studio, the reek of blood sharp and unmistakable. In the upper-left corner of his vision hovered a line of text. 【Your next instance will begin in 71:59:59】 Sandwiched between the characters was a string of ever-changing…

The rankings on the largest stone tablet were already fixed; the name "Fu Jue" sat high in the first position, drawing everyone's attention. Slightly smaller than this tablet was a series of stones engraved with titles like…

      by AshPurgatory2025 The girl said to the Idol, "I have sin. After my sister became like this, I found I could no longer love her as I did in the past." The Deity said, "If you no longer love her, then let her return to the embrace of death and be buried underground." The girl hesitated. She thought of her deceased parents, the slick blood on her hands when she killed the man, and the skin on her body scratched by the thorns of roses. She had already sacrificed so much; she only needed to kill a few more…

      by AshPurgatory2025 At 1:45 PM, Qi Si stood alone in the center of the rose-filled garden, holding the 【Pocket Watch of Fate】 he had borrowed from Chang Xu. The air was filled with gray mist. Along the paths covered by branches and vines, large roses hung their heads, dripping wet. Their deep red was so vivid it seemed ready to drip, exuding a cold, sinister aura like a stagnant river of blood. Qi Si's fingers brushed over the rose petals, finally resting on the most vibrant one. He gripped the thorny…
