"I understand. But may I ask why you’ve come back again?" "Why are you the only one here? Where’s Constable Zhao?" The old constable chuckled and replied, "Constable Zhao is handling other matters… County Magistrate Lu sent me to escort the three of you to the county office for your safety!" "You’ve seen how crazed those thugs were. If you stay in this small courtyard, your lives could be in danger!" Gu Ning’an waved his hand dismissively. "No need. We can protect ourselves." "Protect…-

"You must be insane! I think you’re possessed!" Magistrate Lu abruptly stood up, grabbed everything on the table, and hurled it at Zhao Quan! With every throw, he cursed, calling him a "useless fool"! Only when the table was completely emptied did he finally wave his hand in anger and shout, "Come! Tie him up for me!" But despite his order, the constables in the room remained motionless. Furious to the point of distortion, Magistrate Lu bellowed, "Fine! Fine! You’re all rebelling now, is that…

The three large words "Fair and Impartial" were prominently displayed in bright red lacquer, hanging high above the public court. Below, a weary-looking county magistrate, his official robe loosely draped and misaligned, sat at his desk with his hands clasped. This man was none other than the county magistrate of Shanyang County—Lu Ming. Lu Ming had sparse eyebrows, small eyes, a broad face, and a large nose. His beady pupils, no bigger than mung beans, were fixed intently on the corpses laid out…

Inside the Court Faction’s sacrificial chamber. Xing Tao and Guo Cai’er stood on the left side of the blood pool, meticulously inspecting their surroundings. Yet, they found no mechanisms, no clues. The surrounding walls were cold and rigid, devoid of murals or inscriptions. Only a layer of greenish condensation clung to the surface, giving the eerie impression of mold and decay. “Hisss~!” From the cracks in the walls, a steady stream of crimson smoke continued to seep out. Whether it was…-

Under the flickering firelight, Ren Ye took out the letter he had obtained from "Mr. He." He was eager to verify a few pieces of information. He and Li Yan had previously discussed the contents of this letter back in the tomb chamber on the second level. At the time, they had both agreed that the letter was highly dubious, likely fabricated by a player from the Bell Society using supernatural abilities to alter its content, intending to mislead the Vigil Keeper. However, based on the booklet they had…

Princess Anping’s Tomb. The cold wave had passed, and the players had successfully cleared the level. The blurred surroundings gradually became solid, and the dizzying sensation of being transported faded. When Ren Ye and the other eight players opened their eyes, they found themselves in the fourth level of the princess' tomb. The cold, mechanical voice of the Star Gate echoed in their ears. Everyone froze for a moment before slowly coming back to their senses. In the narrow tomb passage, the…

Slash! White blade in, red blade out! Scalding blood spurted forth, splattering across Zhao Quan’s entire face, making his cheeks feel strangely “warm.” The sudden scene left everyone frozen in place! Zheng Er was the first to snap back to his senses and was about to strike at Zhao Quan, but then he realized—the “bloodstained blade” was not in Zhao Quan’s hands! Whoosh! The blade carved a half-circle through the air right in front of Zheng Er’s face. If not for his foot slipping and…

Zheng Er and his group, laughing and singing, left the cold long street cheerfully. Under the wind and snow, Zhao Quan stood with his head lowered, isolated, his eyes devoid of light. He swallowed and said, “Brothers, we admit to having selfish motives... In Shanyan County, if you don’t have any selfish motives, you’d have been dead eight hundred times over…” “Our abilities are only enough to protect our own families… but it seems like that doesn’t help much.” With that, Zhao Quan took…

As soon as Zheng Er's words fell, the officers present instantly felt a chill in their hearts! They never expected that Zheng Er, who was so drunk that his eyes were half-closed and staggering as he walked, could actually detect them hiding in the alley! The same was true for Captain Zhao. His previously built-up momentum was shattered in an instant by this one sentence! Since Zheng Er had already noticed the ambush, yet still boldly walked toward the murder site, it was clear that he didn't take them…

In the land of extreme cold, half an hour had passed, and the first and second groups carried out their night watch rotation. Amidst the swirling snow, the Scholar and the Horsekeeper were the first to push open the crimson coffin. They emerged slightly earlier than planned. Not far away, Ren Ye remained hidden beneath his robe, observing in secret. "Go inside," the Horsekeeper said after stepping out of the coffin, instinctively hunching his shoulders against the freezing cold. Guo Cai'er and Xing Tao…
