Jiang Yan didnโt answer Yu Renwanโs question right away. She reached out and tore the layer of human skin from the kitchen door downward, stopping when she reached the womanโs navel, where a very distinct centipede-like scarโa caesarean sectionโwas visible. โThe scar had already healed while she was alive,โ Jiang Yan said. โSo she canโt… Continue reading Tricked 112: Cat Hair
Tricked 111: The Thin Cake
The "clearance" mode of this haunted house had its intrigues; earlier, everyone thought it was based on mechanical traps. But no matter the mode, the rule didn't changeโthe first task was always to find clues and piece together the story. Now the group turned over the man's words in their minds. "Her aggression increased?" Shen… Continue reading Tricked 111: The Thin Cake
Tricked 110: Haunted House
After finishing her conversation with Shen Huanhuan, Jiang Yan put down her phone. Little Jiang Yanโs body was warm as a puppy, hugging Jiang Yanโs waist and even resting her little feet on top of her. Jiang Yan didnโt mind and closed her eyes. She really was tired, but little Jiang Yan, after staying up… Continue reading Tricked 110: Haunted House
Tricked 109: Laughter
The room was very quiet. The clock on the wall had passed midnight, the sound of cicadas outside the window was gone, and Shen Xiaoxiao's breath was just a bit ragged from trying not to sob. Jiang Yan didn't press her, but Shen Xiaoxiao started speaking again. She asked Jiang Yan, deliberately casual, "Sister Jiang… Continue reading Tricked 109: Laughter
Tricked 108: Sisters
The speaker was casual, but the listener was intent. Jiang Yan unconsciously tapped the swallowโs black feather, her thoughts drifting far away. Because of Shen Xiaoxiaoโs words, she suddenly recalled a certain situationโ A case where a thousand-year-old swallow yao could gain high-level innate abilities. Sheโd heard it discussed years ago by a crane yao,… Continue reading Tricked 108: Sisters
Tricked 107: Swallow
After returning to the room, Jiang Yan relayed the complete storylines of the three children to Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately fell into deep thought. Jiang Yan quietly grabbed something to eat, but even after she finished a whole bag of bread, Shen Xiaoxiao stayed in that same pose, chin resting on her hand, her… Continue reading Tricked 107: Swallow
Tricked 106: The Perfect Cemetery
After reading the clearance conditions, Jiang Yan fell into thought. Now there were only three game zones left: the haunted house could only be entered by adults, and the animation area could only be entered by children. That alone was already a thorny difficulty, but now the ghost behind them had raised the stakes even… Continue reading Tricked 106: The Perfect Cemetery
Tricked 105: Entry Conditions
After reading the notes on the piano score, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly began analyzing the little girl's family situation. โPiano lessons are really expensive. For Meng Jinru to have systematic training and place third in the childrenโs division of a competition, her family must be paying at least ten thousand yuan a month for lessons.โ โAnd… Continue reading Tricked 105: Entry Conditions
Tricked 104: Searching for Clues
The song lyrics repeated three times. At the end, Shen Xiaoxiao mulled over the words and muttered, โSounds like some kid got chopped up.โ โThe earlier lines are about their body parts being hidden under the carpet and in the sewer. That last lineโโlooking up at the flaming clouds at the horizonโโdoes it mean they… Continue reading Tricked 104: Searching for Clues
Tricked 103: Checking In at the Hotel
Jiang Yan had heard about Yu Renwanโs past before. Because she was a half-yao, Yu Renwanโs innate abilities were only revealed gradually. As a child, although she would occasionally cause a bit of bad luck to those around her, it amounted to nothing more than the odd bump or scrape, so no one paid much… Continue reading Tricked 103: Checking In at the Hotel
