She meant to have him killed by the prisoners there. The prison held a Grand Preceptor with power over the realm, a tycoon richer than a nation, a fallen God of War, a top hacker, a doctor who killed people, a Celestial Master who raised ghosts, cultivators who had failed their tribulations... Ye Feng should have had no chance of surviving in a place like that. But the prisoners didn’t h 28kReads9.1Score3.2k14d adds

   ** "The Mad Dragon Released from Prison" Recommendation: Five years of hellish training, one day of release and he's at his peak!** He is the only "graduate" of Prison Zero, apprenticed to the world's most dangerous madman—a murderous divine doctor who taught him the Yama's Needle, a fallen war god who passed on the Overlord Spear, and a ghost-raising master who gave him the Yin Soldier Talisman… Five years of hellish training have made Ye Feng a walking disaster! On the day of his release, the world's elite trembled: "Quickly investigate! That guy is being released today!" Former enemies fled overseas overnight, unaware that Ye Feng sneered: "Run? I'll test my master's 'Thousand-Mile Curse Killing Technique'!" When the powerful families of Yanjing bullied him because he was powerless? His richest master's black card was thrown directly in his face! When the war god challenged him? With a single spear thrust, he knocked the opponent's weapon away: "This move was taught to me by your ancestor; I know its weaknesses better than you do!" Even more outrageous, the Celestial Master's stunningly beautiful daughter blocked his door, demanding marriage: "My dad said marrying me will unlock a new skill?" **[Dark-themed invincible style + face-slapping spree is incredibly satisfying]** Watch how Ye Feng uses the "forbidden inheritance" of a group of crazy masters to unleash a bloodbath in the city—Friendly reminder: Villains, run! This guy's dictionary doesn't contain "show mercy"!

    [Recommendation] "I Got Up and Saw My Best Friend Turn into a Vengeful Ghost" | Underworld Best Friends Team Up for Revenge | Dark and Healing ✨ Highlighted Setting: • A vengeful ghost best friend who returned to life on the seventh day after death × You, a lazy living person born with the ability to see ghosts • A dual-female lead "human-ghost duo" underworld version of the Avengers • Subverting the traditional redemption novel formula: "I don't love the world, I only love the knife that kills you" 🌑 Synopsis: "When Lin Xiaoyu dripped blood on my eyelids on the seventh night after her death, I knew that this lunatic had no intention of resting in peace—the hem of her white dress was stained red with the scalp of the driver who caused the accident, and her pale fingers were holding our graduation photo, saying, 'Baby, now it's our turn to play the murderer game.'" 💥 Three Must-Read Reasons: 1️⃣ [Revenge Line] The truth behind the death of the vengeful ghost best friend ranges from school violence to workplace conspiracies, and blood-red curse marks begin to appear on the skin of each perpetrator. When you pry open the USB drive in the throat of the third corpse in the morgue, you discover that this murder was already part of the "perfect crime" script... 2️⃣ [Romance] A bond hotter than ghosts. The moment she shielded you from the ghost jumping off the building, her rotting arm pierced your chest: "I didn't tell you when I was alive that the instant coffee you made tasted like Meng Po soup (a legendary soup for forgetting past lives)." And when you chuckled as you burned evidence at the police station: "Now we know that even surveillance cameras are afraid of being haunted." 3️⃣ [Worldview] An inverted Yin-Yang order. When vengeful ghosts begin to abide by the "Criminal Law" to punish their evil deeds, when the living use metaphysical means to forge the perfect crime. The officer in the special operations team who keeps stopping you has a copy of "The Art of Raising Ghosts" locked in his desk drawer... ⚡Famous Scene Warning: • Midnight "Sisters' Tea Party" at the funeral home (using urns as coffee tables) • Stuffing the bully's soul into a screaming chicken toy • During the final showdown, your best friend puts on a VR device for you: "Live stream what cyber exorcism is like!" 🍵Dark Easter Eggs: Each chapter title is a reverse of a classic healing song: "Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm" → "The Rain Washes Away the Uncorrupted Remains" "Tomorrow Will Be Better" → "Yesterday's Ghost Knocks on the Door Before Dawn" 💔Editor's Review: "The romance of folding roses with ghost money, the madness of writing love letters on forensic reports—this anti-cliché dark novel redefines 'best friend': not a relationship of buying milk tea together, but a friendship of sharing a murder quota." ‼ ️Reading Notes: • Contains a lot of ghostly humor (physical meaning) • A knife hidden in the candy (it might actually be the murder weapon)

    **Strengthening Suspense:** * Zhao Qing's hesitation is explained: it wasn't out of soft-heartedness, but rather the discovery of the boy's weak vital signs and the extreme abnormality of the blindfold. * The servant's urging creates a sense of urgency and also highlights Zhao Qing's "abnormality." * The focus is on describing the boy's "life"—weak breathing, unconscious movements, and painful groans—creating a strong contrast and suspense against the backdrop of a "corpse": Why isn't he dead? Why was he thrown out? 2. **Focusing on the Eerie "Blindfold":** * The "black cloth" is used as the core clue. Zhao Qing's suspicion (concealment or sealing?) Directly points to the reader's questions. * The climax is designed with "blood seeping through the black cloth": this is a visually striking and symbolic scene, pushing the eeriness to its peak. It breaks the laws of physics (the bleeding from frostbite is in an unusual location), suggesting a more terrifying secret or power beneath the black cloth. Is this blood caused by pain? Or is it the backlash of some power being touched? Or... Is the black cloth itself "absorbing" something? * The action of "bleeding after touching the corpse" suggests a possible unspoken connection between the boy and the corpse beside him (perhaps his only "companion" or relative?), Or that he sensed some kind of "information" or "residue" on the corpse, triggering his reaction. 3. **Deepening the Atmosphere:** * Continue to emphasize the coldness of the environment (the contrast between the thick coat and the thin shirt, the white breath, the crunching sound of footsteps on snow) and the indifference of the Zhao family's back alley (the servants' attitude). * Showing shock and fear through the perspective of Zhao Qing, a "hard-hearted" character, further illustrates the bizarre nature of the event. 4. **Laying the Groundwork for What's to Come:** * Zhao Qing's reaction (a chill running down his spine, a feeling of coldness reaching his head) shows that the event is beyond his comprehension and control. * The core question is raised: "What... Is this child?" This will be the core driving force for the subsequent story development—how will Zhao Qing deal with this hot potato? What is the boy's identity and the secret behind being blindfolded? Why was he treated this way? And who is the corpse beside him? This sequel closely follows the hooks you left at the beginning (the blindfolded boy, the corpse, Zhao Qing's hesitation), building up the eeriness and suspense layer by layer, especially the scene of "blood seeping through the black cloth," which hopefully achieves the impact you desire. Now, it's up to Zhao Qing to decide what to do, and what earth-shattering secret this mysterious boy holds.
