She covered her mouth, stifling a scream. Above the ceiling, countless children's bones were densely scattered, their original forms unrecognizable, revealing stark white skeletons wrapped tightly in thick cobwebs.

Shi Yi felt a sudden chill crawl across her scalp—this was far more terrifying than the eerie infants outside. She had never...

Yuan Xiao wanted to laugh but couldn’t. An endless sorrow engulfed her like the very air around her, suffocating. What was she to do? Yuan Xiao wanted to flee, but she couldn’t—not yet.

Glancing at the half-empty glass and then at Nelson, whose flushed face and sweating forehead betrayed the alcohol's burning sting, Chu Xu thought, “How reckless was I just now to agree to this?”
