"I don't really understand much about the supernatural domain," Yu Sheng said frankly, facing the three confused-looking people before him. "Especially the Otherworld, entities, and all that. In fact, I don't know much about anything outside of Boundary City either—which is why I've been looking for 'professionals' like you, hoping you could answer my many questions." Li Lin and Xu Jiali exchanged glances, both looking thoroughly stunned after hearing Yu Sheng's words. Little Red Riding Hood couldn't…

The two Special Operations Bureau agents and the self-proclaimed "Little Red Riding Hood," Spirit Detective (part-time), had left. Yu Sheng let out a soft breath at the front door before turning back to the living room. Eileen, who had been watching TV, immediately turned her head. "I thought you'd be chatting for ages. Didn't you have a bunch of things you wanted to ask them?" "Mostly I just wanted to establish a connection with them—anyway, Hu Li's already been brought out, so there's no rush for the…

Thirty minutes later, Yu Sheng watched nervously as the little doll lay on the "alchemy table." Eileen propped herself up with her hands and slowly sat upright, staring blankly into space as she contemplated her existence. Doll, 66.6 centimeters, emitting the fragrance of lotus root. Experiment successful.jpg. After watching for a long while, Yu Sheng decided that Eileen seemed to be fine, and his confidence gradually built up. "See, I told you it would work. You can even use flour, so why wouldn't lotus…

The enormous eye had departed, leaving as silently as it had arrived, without revealing a single secret. The people inside the cave exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly at a loss for what to do. The oppressive aura that bizarre eyeball had brought was so staggering that even now, after it had vanished, a lingering tremor of dread and disbelief still remained in everyone's hearts. "It really just left like that?" Eileen murmured to herself, clearly uneasy. "Could it just be hiding behind the clouds?" But…

Hu Li told everyone with firm conviction that she had buried her mother and father right here beneath this forest, and that she had buried them very, very deep. Even though the ground was now riddled with pits and gullies of all sizes, the place where she had buried them would still be there. Now, she began to dig. With the strength of a fox-spirit, unaffected by the Hunger, she dug remarkably fast even with her bare hands. Loose soil was continuously flung out of the pit. Yu Sheng and Eileen stood nearby,…

Through a mode of "perception" he couldn't yet fully comprehend, Yu Sheng felt himself establish a connection with this valley. His consciousness flowed between rocks and soil, threaded through the depths of the creeping, undulating forest, submerged itself in the water and wind here, and then, through countless pairs of grotesquely twisted eyes, observed the sky above the valley. That enormous eye, large enough to cover the entire sky, gazed down upon the earth with calm indifference. From beginning to…

The chewing sounds that filled the entire valley swelled like crashing waves. The whole Otherworld had become a grand feast, and soon, every person hiding in the cave realized what those sounds meant. Li Lin mustered his courage and crept to the cave entrance, his scalp tingling as he peeked outside. The jagged teeth within the mountain range were tearing at each other. The trench-like maws were collapsing inward, continuously splitting into more fissures that devoured and dissolved one another. The…

It wasn't over yet. Almost the instant Hu Li finished speaking, Yu Sheng understood exactly what she meant by "it wasn't over yet." He heard a cacophony of frenzied roars rising and falling throughout the dense forest, heard a terrifying and hollow wind suddenly echo through the valley. The eerie, sinister aura permeating the entire Otherworld had not diminished with the destruction of the Amalgamated Beast — on the contrary, it had abruptly intensified severalfold. A heavy, near-stagnant malice and a…

"We're on solid ground!" Eileen stood atop a large, dark boulder, struggling to hold her cleaver in both arms, doing her best to strike what she considered an impressively heroic pose against the night wind as she shouted into the empty valley below. Yu Sheng jabbed a finger into the puppet's head, nearly knocking her off the rock: "Stop making such a racket. We haven't found Hu Li yet — don't go drawing 'Hunger's' attention over here before we're ready." "That thing doesn't even sense through hearing,"…

The Foxgirl stared wide-eyed at the large pile of things Yu Sheng had set down on the ground, standing there in a daze for several seconds as if she hadn't processed the situation at all — not until Yu Sheng opened a can of eight-treasure congee and brought the food to her lips. "Eat up, I brought it all for you — there's more if it's not enough." The fragrance of food. A real, genuine smell of food. Not stone, not soil, not brick and timber — not the phantoms from dreams that no amount of…
