Chapter 55 Double-Layered Mural

We all stood there quietly. The lantern was raised up towards the wall to increase the lighting, its dim glow making the mural seem ancient and mysterious. The mural’s colors were very vibrant, and used a lot of red that looked like blood. Under the lantern’s flickering light, it shined with the brilliance of glass, …

Chapter 54 Fissure (Part 2)

I was absolutely certain that from the time I heard Poker-Face make that noise to the time I noticed his disappearance, no more than five seconds had passed.

Chapter 53 Fissure (Part 1)

Changbai Mountain was a dormant volcano. According to historical records, the last small-scale eruption should have been a thousand years ago.

Chapter 47 Pan Zi

Pan Zi and I sat in Uncle Three's shop all afternoon, telling each other about our recent experiences. As it turned out, Pan Zi regained consciousness a little before I went to Hainan, but I left in such a hurry that I only left a cell phone number with the hospital. When I went out …

Chapter 46 Simple Answer

The old man's voice was very clear, so I not only heard what he said, but I also noticed that he spoke with a Changsha accent, which was surprising. I secretly looked at him and found that his appearance was very strange—he was about seventy years old, short, lean, and had a hint of gloom …
