There’s an interesting saying in Hua Country. It’s said that before children are born, each lingers in heaven searching for their next mother. There’s no rush; they may spend a very, very long time choosing. Children are always responsible with themselves—only when they find the mother most to their liking will they descend to the… Continue reading Tricked 115: Tiantian

Such thoughts followed naturally. Not every mother loves her child, nor should motherhood be burdened with excessive moral pressure. Maternal love comes with prerequisites. It wasn’t just that Yang Shumei and Liu Zhengxing had no emotional foundation before marriage, or that after losing her first child, Yang Shumei became mentally unstable and lost all desire… Continue reading Tricked 114: The Hole

The house suddenly fell silent. A cat? Mu Wang and Zhao Kepu, who hadn’t encountered Xiao Mei at all, said nothing. The others, after thinking for a moment, slowly revealed looks of dawning realization. Shen Xiaoxiao clapped her hands in excitement. “Of course it’s a cat!” “That body that can slip in and out of… Continue reading Tricked 113: Liu Yitian

Jiang Yan didn’t answer Yu Renwan’s question right away. She reached out and tore the layer of human skin from the kitchen door downward, stopping when she reached the woman’s navel, where a very distinct centipede-like scar—a caesarean section—was visible. “The scar had already healed while she was alive,” Jiang Yan said. “So she can’t… Continue reading Tricked 112: Cat Hair

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 change—the 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

After finishing her conversation with Shen Huanhuan, Jiang Yan put down her phone. Little Jiang Yan’s body was warm as a puppy, hugging Jiang Yan’s waist and even resting her little feet on top of her. Jiang Yan didn’t mind and closed her eyes. She really was tired, but little Jiang Yan, after staying up… Continue reading Tricked 110: Haunted House

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

The speaker was casual, but the listener was intent. Jiang Yan unconsciously tapped the swallow’s black feather, her thoughts drifting far away. Because of Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, she suddenly recalled a certain situation— A case where a thousand-year-old swallow yao could gain high-level innate abilities. She’d heard it discussed years ago by a crane yao,… Continue reading Tricked 108: Sisters

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

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
