      by — Fighting Side by Side Gemini Data Center, Basement Level 1, Emergency Isolation Zone. This area was originally a backup server room, but it had been temporarily converted into a frontline command post to combat the ransomware.

      by — A New Case The lingering warmth of the kiss remained on her lips, like the burning sensation of strong liquor down the throat in winter, quietly spreading through her veins. Shen Qingwu’s fingertips still held the warmth of Lin Jianfeng’s cheek and the texture of her skin; her breath was filled with the other woman’s crisp, clean scent, mixed with a faint, bitter aroma of coffee. The sunlight shifted, falling onto the carpet at their feet, cutting a boundary between light and shadow. In the moment…

      by — The First Kiss Forty-eight hours after the official report was filed. Inside and outside Shen Qingwu's downtown apartment, the yellow police tape had been removed, but the atmosphere of a thorough investigation had not fully dissipated. The air still held traces of static, fingerprint powder, and the faint scent of ozone from the operation of precision instruments. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious living room, where dust motes danced silently in the…

The dizziness and weakness from the drug residue had faded, replaced by an icy calm and a smoldering anger deep within her eyes.

      by — Safe House An old residential area, four in the morning. The darkness in the room was not absolute. The streetlights from the distant overpass filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a thin, dusty glow that barely outlined the furniture in the living room. The air held a faint scent of aged camphor mixed with the subtle smell of dust and the lingering, warm fragrance of the person sleeping on the sofa. Lin Jianfeng did not turn on the overhead lights, opting instead for an old desk lamp beside the…

      by — The Rainy Night Corpse Rain fell like broken beads, slamming hard against the neon-lit streets of Shuangcheng, soaking the night into a blurred halo of light. Lin Jianfeng stepped on the brakes, and the police SUV came to a halt in front of an old residential building, the tires letting out a brief hiss as they rolled through the standing water. She didn't get out immediately. Instead, she stared through the windshield—regularly cleared by the rhythmic scraping of the wipers—at the third-floor window…

The extra "people" have only one place to go, and that is the meat grinder. While the two were silent, the door was knocked again. The knocking on the door was regular and measured, not like someone desperate. Gou Xue and Leopard looked at each other for a while, their eyes locked together.
