At 8:05 PM, Bai Ling was escorted out of the detention center's back door. Heinz had removed his restriction ring and tossed him a new one. They were planning to find a death-row convict to pull off a bait-and-switch, hanging the decoy in his stead. Bai Ling put on the new restriction ring. The characters lit up, displaying his new identity, the name reading: His mind wandered for a split second, shifting his gaze toward Heinz. The other man noted dismissively, "There are plenty of birds with…-

thank you for the ko-fi donation AC! With the sovereign kidnapped, the entire administrative system was in chaos. The cabinet meeting had already been going on for half an hour, everyone's voices became hoarse from arguing, yet no decision had been made on whether to make the news public. At this point, all eyes turned to the Chief of Staff's office. "Lord Heinz, the cabinet is still waiting for your decision. You see, various heads of state have already…

Thank you anon reader for the Ko-Fi donation! Bai Ling returned covered in blood. He forced down a few bites of food, scrubbed himself clean, and wrapped himself in the duvet, falling into a heavy, feverish sleep. In his stupor, someone touched his forehead. The fingertips carried a warm, algae-scented aroma, like seawater touched by a red tide. Bai Ling dazedly opened his eyes, catching a glimpse of a handsome, towering figure sitting quietly by the bed, appearing frozen in…

Night fell, and an escort warship silently glided along the aerial rail. Its exterior utilized biomimetic design, replicating the aerodynamic noise-reduction strategy of an owl. Its wings were engineered with a serrated edge, allowing it to traverse the night sky soundlessly, bringing an exquisitely quiet journey to its passengers. At the same time, this vastly increased production costs. Such a ship model was rare on the aerial rails, drawing many prying eyes. Drivers on the same rail glanced out…

When Bai Ling returned to the ward, he casually glanced around. The merman was covered in various electrodes and monitoring devices, looking quite a bit cyberpunk. The hovering screen displayed the patient's real-time status. The medical AI system calculated that the patient's autologous cells were actively stimulating healing, with an estimated 16 hours remaining. Calculating the time, Bai Ling realized he likely wouldn't be able to stay by his side for those 16 hours. The analgesia pump chirped…

Thank you AC for the ko-fi donation! After breaking through the atmosphere, Eye of Horus extended its folding sections to the max. Now it was more than three times its previous size, yet in the boundless universe, it was still but a single-leaf skiff crossing the ocean. Half an hour ago, the ship had already ignited its fusion engines and completed its first jump. Bai Ling yawned as he walked out of the cockpit. He was about to find a place to nap when his vision shifted.…

Thank you for the ko-fi donation AC! Founding a nation on the spot. There was precedent for it, after all. The sky was vast, the earth was vast, but the universe was vastest of all. Even though the territories of various nations were clearly demarcated, in the fringe areas where central authority could hardly reach, there still roamed quite a few interstellar traders, pirates, or anarchists. These people would, from time to time, find an abandoned space station,…

Heinz touched his chest. He was indeed heartless. In his early years, he had worked for the intelligence services. Later, he entered the civil service system. His background and history had long since been scrubbed clean and people only knew that he had served as a servant in the Eagle-owl Duke's household—not how he got there. His father was a disgraced official of the Old Empire. Though called a disgraced official, there was also a suspicion of false accusation. In the two years before the Old…

At breakfast, Bai Ling was nibbling on half a slice of bread, his head drooping and bobbing as he dozed off. That wasn't even a dream last night; it was the of his life! The little hooves clip-clopped so hard his brain hurt. The most confusing part was that the dream automatically replaced Mr. D's face with Yu Chen's, making him sigh with genuine emotion. When he woke up and touched his pillow, it was wet. I'm so sad, I need to find something to comfort myself. Bai Ling expressionlessly downed…

"He knows how to wish me 'a safe journey.'" This single sentence successfully drew cold sweat from Kaide’s forehead. Given Izsu Paraiso’s usual mind games Kaide couldn't help but speculate about the deeper meaning hidden within— A safe journey? What does that mean? Is he reprimanding him for bringing a crisis to the Empire, or is he settling old scores, calculating a ledger for his previous attempt to force a palace coup? ...But it wasn't entirely his fault! Who told Izsu Paraiso to…
