Wen Chengyu talks to the violinist, she’s on her guard at first but warms up when she realises that he understands her music. Her father just passed away, he was a policeman. Someone, probably A Hua, went to see her about A Sheng’s death, thinking it might be linked to the tumult he caused at the restaurant. The violinist, Zheng Jia, thinks Wen Chengyu might be involved.
Zheng Zihua goes to see Luo Fei and learn about Luo Fei’s extreme observation skills. He found the name of Ding Ke’s assistant during the Wen Hongbin case, but it’s the only one he found. The sniper who killed Hongbin and who is the most likely target of Eumenides has disappeared. Luo Fei thinks his name was an alias to protect his identity.

I started Varka SQ and I loved the beginning: lore impactful, but sounds intriguing with a good plot. And a lot of characters too! I’ll need to note down some names in Chinese to match with their equivalent in English.
I wanted to play all chapter 1 today, but I won’t have time. Anyway, I’m glad the story looks promising.
I was so sleepy today, but thankfully, chapter 5 was a suspenseful one!
第五章 地铁追踪 (contains spoilers)
The team and men chosen by Liu Song watch Liu Wei and Han Dongdong, waiting for them to meet Han Hao. Han Hao manages to get rid of all the men watching his wife and they meet for a brief time. Luo Fei and Liu Song almost caught him, but he managed to escape. even though his right foot is clearly injured.
快、准、狠。
I’m reading Lohen’s skill showcase and anecdote in Chinese, and there’s a passage where he says:
快、准、狠。我的技巧就是这样,不知道你跟不跟得上?
These three adjectives immediately brought me back to 流行蝴蝶剑, I think Gu Long liked to use them in combination to praise a martial art, I remember it because I found it so cool haha.
I found some examples:
够快、够准、够狠的暗器
他武功本和孟星魂是同一路的,又狠,又准,又快
One more reason to pull for Lohen then!
Also 火光炸开,冰晶封路—— So cool!
Lohen teaser is so good… I guess he’s kind of a must-pull now… my plan to save for Snezhnaya has been short-lived…
It would be funny if I get Lohen before Mika, he’s the only 4star I’m missing.

I finished chapter 4, I hope I’ll have time for one or two more chapters today!
第四章 节外生枝 (contains spoilers)
Wu Yinwu is found dead, he jumped from the 7th floor of the hospital. Family said he looked depressed after the visit of a “policeman”. Luo Fei and Yin Jian understand that this can’t have been a real policeman.
A Hua informs Lin Henggan and Meng Fangliang of A Sheng’s death, mentioning the car must have been tempered with and the accident is actually murder. He shares his fear that Eumenides is the culprit and might be targeting the whole Group, hinting that Lin Henggan and Meng Fangliang are in danger.
The team concludes that the fake policeman can’t have been Eumenides, but his identity is still unknown. Yin Jian informs Luo Fei that someone contacted Han Hao’s wife, who then informed the school her son would not come to class this afternoon. They think they will try to meet with Han Hao.
I listened to 某印刷物的下落, it has a really interesting (but dark) topic!
I actually picked 죽은 집에 관한 기록 to have something short and easy to read on the side, while my main reading focus was supposed to be my Chinese novel 暗黑者2, but 죽은 집에 관한 기록 is so good, I ended up reading only that today…
I remember 불귀도 살인사건 being an extremely suspenseful thriller that I would definitely place among my 10 favourite books read in Korean. I should really explore 전건우‘s bibliography more!
I’m stopping here for now, because it would be a shame to finish it too soon, but wow, this book could really be read in one sitting. I’m halfway through and so far it’s one of the best horror story I’ve read/watched (including films and series) in a while.
This book is impossible to put down!!!
I finished the word quest! Chapter 2 and chapter 3 were so good, chapter 3 in particular was breathtaking, I just finished it in one-go. The end almost made me cry too.
In terms of story content, I used to love the AQ the most, then the SQ, and the WQ were a bit of a hit or miss to me. But this version, it’s the reverse: I’ve loved all the WQ (at least the ones I’ve done), to me they were better and more engaging than all the second half of the Archon Quest, even though they’re unvoiced.
This brought my total exploration over 60%! 200 primos more Now I’ll probably need to explore more on the surface first, and if it’s not enough to reach 80%, go back and try to find puzzles I haven’t done yet. And I know I said it already, but I love exploring with Nicole!
