7:30 p.m. Jiang Yan heard the sound of people playing cards outside the block building and got up to go downstairs. Wang Zhihua was riffling through her hand, a pile of coins pressed in her hand, shouting that it would taste right only with more peanuts and beer. As Jiang Yan passed by with the… Continue reading Tricked 029: Chen Ranyi
Cub 108: The Millennium-Old Holy Cas Behind Us
In the boundless, pitch-black cosmos, that was not a minor variation composed by instruments. Just a scattering of faint, star-like gleams. —Remember them here, then bring them home. See. Cousin. Isn’t this exactly what you’ve always wondered about, friend, family—what, in the end, is the relationship between the long-lived and the short-lived? In a moment,… Continue reading Cub 108: The Millennium-Old Holy Cas Behind Us
Tricked 028: Logical Recapitulation
Previously, the words written in her palm. “Don’t keep investigating.” The choice two months later, a correction for her future self. The video ended there. After that, the footage was of He Shuyu using her uninjured leg to hook the camera's hanging cord, tucking it into the cabinet. This scene reminded Jiang Yan of the… Continue reading Tricked 028: Logical Recapitulation
Cub 107: Remember Them, and Then, Someday, Bring Them Back
Everything around them became very quiet. Especially at this moment, as they stood there. Illumination machines surrounded them, emitting a faint mechanical wing-beat. Occasionally, there came a slight sizzle of mechanical malfunction. Those beams of light stretched from their bodies, slowly reaching out into the distance, extending into the pitch-black cosmos, illuminating the place where… Continue reading Cub 107: Remember Them, and Then, Someday, Bring Them Back
Tricked 027: Passing the Red Envelope
Before leaving the hospital, the group made a stop at Xiang Nanzhi’s department and received a reply from her assistant. “Dr. Xiang hasn’t come to work for over a week due to personal reasons.” Just as expected. Few mothers can function normally after such a tragic loss, especially when Zuo Nianchen’s death was also Xiang… Continue reading Tricked 027: Passing the Red Envelope
Cub 106: The Barrier Born of Flesh and Bone Upon the Ruined Wreckage
The little cub vaguely felt he’d seen a similar psychic thread before, when Grandma left, just before he cried himself to sleep. That psychic thread disappeared too quickly, and its color was so faint he could barely notice it—the little one hadn’t been able to track the source. But he soon spotted Ayala’s psychic thread.… Continue reading Cub 106: The Barrier Born of Flesh and Bone Upon the Ruined Wreckage
Tricked 026: Curse Chain
After receiving Shen Huanhuan’s message, Jiang Yan and Shen Xiaoxiao set out from 604, heading to the hospital. Just outside the barrel building, they saw Cheng Guang basking in the sun on an old man’s chair. “Senior Sister, I was just about to come find you,” Cheng Guang, catching sight of Jiang Yan out of… Continue reading Tricked 026: Curse Chain
NWAFAM 175: Wedding Feast, The End
"A union to last for all time, a bond to grow old together." Yu Jinnian only learned of the matter the following day. For some time, he had been staying at Jinyouting, mostly because Ji Hong had suddenly become the center of attention, with countless visitors delivering calling cards every other day. Fed up with… Continue reading NWAFAM 175: Wedding Feast, The End
Cub 105: The Shadow Beyond the Barrier
Amos had already carried Little Chu Zao into the starship's interior. For the Holy Cas Empire, this was now the deepest zone of corruption. Without the little cub escorting them, the Crown Clan didn't dare leave the starship easily. Inside, even their psychic coronets were somewhat affected. Almost all of the Crown Clan who had… Continue reading Cub 105: The Shadow Beyond the Barrier
Cub 104: Why Are These Wings Getting More and More???
Little Chu Zao lay curled in Amos’s arms, sobbing, his six furry little wings trembling back and forth. This was a very dangerous corrupted zone. Amos’s psychic power circled around them—aside from exotic beasts, there were no signs of normal life here, everything ruined and awash in shades of black, gray, and white. If not… Continue reading Cub 104: Why Are These Wings Getting More and More???
