Chapter 159: Ghost Possession I swam a little closer, using my flashlight to scan the silk wrapping the corpse. The dark silk was heavily patterned with cloud motifs, and gold threads were woven into the fabric. Under the beam of my light, these gold threads floated loosely where the silk had frayed or torn. It was then that I noticed a rotted, discolored wooden plaque hanging from the corpse's waist. Only a single character was written on it. I hadn't studied the scripts of various dynasties, so I…-

Chapter 42: Record of Moving to the City in the 90s 42 The three old brothers had lost their jobs, but life at home still had to go on. Those three sisters-in-law had now thickened their skins and come knocking on the door. This time they weren't asking for anything specific; they just wanted to wander around the Siheyuan, intending to visit more often in the hopes that the family might throw a few scraps their way in the future. Neither Zhou Jing nor Ms. Meng were the type to indulge such…-

Chapter 296: The Scale of the Heart Yan Lao’er and Yan Yu had already coordinated their stories. So when Yan Yu recounted what she had seen that day, it was identical to Yan Lao’er’s version. The highest form of a lie is nine parts truth, one part falsehood. The matter of the sunken chest was a perfect example. Though father and daughter emphasized different details, the slight discrepancies only made their accounts more believable when compared side by side. Yan Huaiwen didn’t…-

Chapter 255: Qian Shizhong Once Fourth Brother finished his deployments, his men began moving to their respective tasks. They hauled their gear into the beds of the pickup trucks. He Yu and I stood up, preparing to follow, but as we passed Fourth Brother, he grabbed me by the collar and waved He Yu toward one of the trucks. "How much do you know about your great-grandfather's business?" Fourth Brother hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me toward the lead pickup. That truck was filled with the…

Chapter 29: Entering the Nine-Bend Corridor Ruins But even with Lu A’yao’s reassurance, my unease didn’t completely fade. Or rather, I’d found the layout of this place strange from the very beginning. By conventional standards, the passageways in a tomb are meant only to connect various tomb chambers. Once you enter a passage, it should lead directly to a chamber—whether it's a burial chamber or the main tomb. In other words, the passage exists to serve the chambers. So, I’ve never seen a…

Chapter 116: A Miraculous Antidote To be honest, I was a bit anxious. The flashlight that had fallen into the water was completely smashed. It was the one Lu A'yao had clipped to his waist before falling into the groove. These flashlights were usually quite sturdy, so I guessed he must have suffered a heavy impact or a severe collision when he fell. This wasn't good. Without waiting for He Yu and the other to catch up through the uneven water, I shut my mouth and lunged forward into the water. It…

Chapter 342: Hair Standing on End Yan Lao'er had even more assignments now. While the others were writing essays, composing poetry, or memorizing legal case studies... He was copying books nonstop, one after another. Magistrate Tian had perfectly gauged the speed at which he could copy, wringing every last minute out of his schedule. During the midday break, Yan Lao'er gritted his teeth and went home to cook, still making lunch and delivering it as usual. But the magistrate didn’t see him.…
