Chapter 34: The Choice of a Host After a round of soothing, Allen Ceres and Wilma Gladys finally managed to calm the baby down. Whew… Tall and thin Allen breathed out, straightened, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and nodded apologetically to his guest. After holding himself back for a few seconds, he finally organized his words: “I’m sorry. Children are all like this.” “Yes.” Klein smiled in response, indicating that he did not mind in the slightest. Then he changed the…-

Chapter 33: The Joys of Life “The folk customs of the Southern Continent really are rather different from ours.” Audrey lowered her head and glanced at the feathered hat ornament inside the gift box, praising it sincerely. “But it still very much matches my aesthetic taste.” Her latter sentence was half genuine and half polite. On one hand, she truly felt that the processed feather resembled a work of art. On the other hand, she also felt that its style was too obvious and extreme. It was not…

Chapter 32: Gift On a night with pale moonlight, inside the garden of 160 Böklund Street. A gray rat rustled out from its hole and ran beneath the balcony of the master bedroom. A very small lump of black, paste-like matter then drifted down and was balanced by the rat on its head like an acrobatic performance. It quickly turned around, ran out of 160 Böklund Street, and reached the entrance of a nearby sewer. At that moment, the gray rat raised the front half of its body and extended its…

Chapter 31: First Sermon Klein felt not the slightest surprise at Patrick Bryan’s answer. He nodded gently and asked, “Which life of yours is this?” As far as he knew, an Undying would die once every sixty years, then revive once, forgetting the vast majority of their past memories and needing to slowly recover them afterward. It was like beginning a new life. This was knowledge that came with the potion. Patrick Bryan easily understood what the favored one opposite him meant. After…

Chapter 30: Fanatic Klein, dressed in a sleeping robe, did not move. Within his spiritual perception, the intruder’s Spirit Body Threads had already appeared. In other words, as long as he wished, even without leaving the bed, he could turn everyone in 160 Böklund Street into his marionettes. Of course, for a demigod—a Bizarro Sorcerer—even the neighbors several houses away were within manipulation range. “There are many spirits around him. One of them helped him fly and land on the…

Chapter 29: A Familiar Flavor If they grasp Father’s hidden cards, how could they possibly not harm him? At the very least, it would negatively affect the matters he is doing everything he can to promote or oppose… Floating in midair within the mind world, Audrey looked down at the “island of consciousness” below. Her thoughts were calmer than even she had expected. Immediately afterward, she suddenly understood something: She finally knew what Hvin Rambis had truly meant to achieve by…

The Cousin in the White Dress The night my cousin died was one of those stifling summer nights when the heat seems to press against the skin and refuse to lift. Even now, ten years later, the memory of it still turns my stomach—the charred, oily smell of gasoline, so thick it felt as if it had burned itself into my bones. She died in a rented room that night. Her lover poured gasoline over her and set her on fire. By the time the flames were put out, there was hardly enough of her left to…-

Shadows in the Old Military Compound: The Haunting That Followed Me for Nine Years My family once lived in a military residential compound, in a six-story red-brick building with no elevator. The walls were peeling in patches, and the stairwell always carried the same damp smell—mildew mixed with a faint trace of disinfectant. Most of the residents were retired soldiers or their families. It should have been a place of discipline and order, a place where nothing dark or unclean could take root. But…

I was born in a small village in Henan, near a coal mine, and for as long as I can remember, strange things have had a way of finding me. My mother used to say it might have begun before I was even born. She was pregnant with twins then—my brother and me—and one day, while carrying lunch to my father at the mine, she stumbled over a loose stone and fell. My brother never made it into the world. I survived by chance, but I had swallowed amniotic fluid and was frail from the start. Perhaps that was…

My cousin’s accident happened on a rain-soaked night in late autumn. He was driving into the mountains with the girl he had only just started seeing, hoping to catch the last blaze of red leaves before the season stripped the branches bare. Then a truck lost control and crashed through the guardrail. When the hospital called, my uncle was in the yard bagging corn. The sack slipped from his hands and hit the ground with a dull, heavy thud, scattering kernels across the dirt. By the time we reached…
