Chapter 0001: Rainy Night

  The wind whistled through the narrow gorge, producing a sharp and piercing sound. Large raindrops pounded against the cliffs on both sides of the gorge, splashing mud everywhere. In the sky, thunder rumbled faintly, and dazzling lightning occasionally flashed through the dense dark clouds, illuminating the pitch-black earth.

  "Pain will always pass!"

  Kong Zhan sat in the muddy and rainy ground, talking to himself.

  Pain will always pass!

  These were his father's last words before he died, so he remembered them especially clearly.

  The rain is still falling and seems to be getting heavier.

  Next to him, two corpses lay still, their breath long gone. The dark purple bloodstains flowed down the rainwater to the ground, and the heavy rain washed away all the bloodiness, but it couldn't wash away the eerie bloody color that had permeated the entire space just a short while ago.

  A soft sigh echoed in her ear.

  Kong Zhan's small body stiffened for a moment, then, like the floodgates of a water reservoir bursting open, let out a loud "Waa" and burst into tears.

  Once he started crying, he couldn't stop, and cried for a good half an hour until his voice was hoarse, then the sobs gradually subsided.

  The person who let out a sigh of relief was a middle-aged man with a half-secular and half-mystical air about him, who walked up to his side and lifted him off the ground.

  "Alright, kid, the dead are gone, let's find a place to bury them. Then I'll take you back to Luoyang, it's a great place!!"
