The moment they stepped into South Corner Village, the air was thick with a foul, bloody stench. Walking down the main street toward the village center, the dried, blackened bloodstains on the ground grew denser and more frequent. Among the four villages, if any place fit the stereotypical image of a haunt infested with evil, South Corner Village would be the second. The other three wouldn’t even dare claim first place. At this moment, a butcher wielding two pig-slaughtering knives was “diligently”…-

A faint, delicate fragrance of makeup drifted through the air as the woman moved. It was not an overpowering cosmetic scent but rather leaned more toward the natural fragrance of flowers. The woman wore a long, blue-green dress, her jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall down her back. Her bright, lively eyes carried a hint of curiosity. Her attire was refined, yet there was an almost imperceptible trace of allure about her. “I am Yuling. Greetings, sir.” Introducing herself, Yuling refilled Gu…

Pa! Zhou Zhongtian pulled out a black pouch from his chest and slapped it onto the table before continuing, "Sister Wei, I'm serious. There are twenty taels of silver here—consider it a gift from your little brother to help your nephew with his medical treatment." "Take this money, add whatever you have, and go seek out Brother Ma. That should be enough to cover your nephew’s medical expenses." "The poor kid’s already lost his father. If something happens to you too, his mother, he will have no…

Oh~ Oh~ Oh! As the rooster crowed to announce the dawn, the horizon began to lighten. Unlike usual mornings, every village in Four Corners Town remained eerily silent, with hardly any fishermen or merchants out early to begin their work. Perhaps due to the "exhaustion" of the previous night, most people were still deep in sleep, showing no signs of waking. Inside the luxurious inn where the Golden Guard resided, the External Agents and Golden Guard members had all gathered. On the bed today lay another…

"Shut the hell up with your nonsense!" "You didn’t make it clear earlier! You never said the patterns were just the engravings on a copper coin!" Saying this, Old Heng cracked his knuckles with a crisp sound and growled, "No way! This doesn’t count! You have to let me reach in and grab something else!" "Ah, that won’t do!" "Rules are rules—each person gets only one chance..." "Besides, a copper coin is still money. By tomorrow night, if you bring this copper coin back, won’t it become…

The night was as dark as ink. At the edge of the marketplace in East Corner Village, villagers with greedy eyes stood in two long, orderly lines, anxiously waiting for the cart-pulling man at the front to distribute gold and silver treasures. At the front of the line stood a mother and son. The woman looked to be around forty, while the child was a boy, seemingly in his early teens. Perhaps due to his plump physique or simply because handing out "money and wealth" was too exhausting, the cart-pulling man…

Mournful cries swirled above South Corner Village, laden with emotions of regret, resentment, and bitterness. A young man in a white opera robe, his expression full of sorrow, led a group of dozens—men, women, young, and old. Each time they passed a household, they would stop, and one of the followers would step forward to share their tale of hardship. By the time Gu Ning'an and his group caught up with them, the procession had grown to about forty people. Many had even donned mourning clothes, making…

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the broken moon was occasionally obscured by dark clouds. Under the flickering moonlight, the butcher methodically dismembered the pig, cutting it into eight pieces. Leg meat, tenderloin, fan bones... each was arranged in order. Some of the organs were still steaming, and the pig’s heart continued to thump, thump rhythmically. The most unsettling sight, however, was the severed pig’s head placed at the center. Even without its body, its eyes remained…

"Brother! Give me the handkerchief! Just look at that courtesan on stage—full of energy! Keeping it would be a waste for you! Listen to your uncle, you won't be able to handle her—let me do the honors!" "Give it to me! That old man thinks he can enjoy her for free? What a fool! I'll pay fifty taels of silver—just hand over the handkerchief, and the money is yours!" "Fifty taels? That's nothing! I have a grand residence with three courtyards and ten acres of fertile land. If you agree, I'll hand it…

At the entrance, two lightly dressed women stood side by side, welcoming guests. Their garments, in a seductive rose-red color, accentuated their fair and rosy skin. With delicate faces and graceful figures, every movement they made exuded an alluring fragrance of rouge. Zhou Zhongtian stumbled forward after being pushed, stopping just short of a woman's face. "My lord, you’ve startled me!" The woman covered her mouth with a light chuckle, her jade-like fingers gently flicking a floral handkerchief,…
