   Looking around, and then noticing each other and the man with the goat-head mask, varying degrees of panic and confusion appeared on their faces. One of the men, wearing faded overalls, suddenly stood up, the chair scraping loudly on the floor. He stared warily at the goat-head mask, asking in a hoarse voice, "Where is this? Who are you?" The goat-head mask tilted his head slightly, a low laugh escaping his throat, like rusty gears grinding. He didn't answer directly, but slowly raised his white-gloved hand, pointing to the grandfather clock on the table. Everyone's eyes focused on it simultaneously—the clock's pendulum suddenly paused for a moment, then the numbers on the dial began to twist and rearrange eerily, finally revealing a line of blood-red text: **"Welcome to the game, survivors."** The temperature in the room seemed to drop abruptly. A woman with a messy ponytail asked in a trembling voice, "What game? Why are we here?" The goat-headed mask finally spoke, his voice seeming to come from a great distance, carrying an inhuman hollowness: "You have been chosen because you all have 'unfinished sins'." "Sins?" A young man wearing glasses frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? We don't know you at all!" The goat-headed mask ignored his question and simply clapped his hands lightly. The next second, ten blurry images appeared on the walls of the room, like old film reels. In the images, one could vaguely make out the figures of the ten individuals, but in each image, they were standing in a pool of blood, holding a knife, rope, or something else... "What... Is this?" Someone asked, backing away in terror. The voice of the goat-headed mask, like a leech, pierced everyone's ears: "These are your 'forgotten memories.' And tonight, what you must do is—'atone' in this game." The ticking of the grandfather clock suddenly became deafening, and darkness began to creep through the room, as if something was slowly crawling out…

    The first book is an old one, very good. It's about the swordsman and the passion, especially when the sect is in trouble and the token is broken, disciples from all directions come to the rescue. It's very exciting. The third book is very similar to "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," very good. The fourth book is about Confucianism: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, continue the lost learning of the past sages, and create peace for all generations." The fifth book, "The Crippled," is also good. It's about saving the world, and the blood is boiling. The sixth book, "Lingzhou," is very similar to "Seeking the Demon," and the later parts are quite similar, but it doesn't have the suffering of "Seeking the Demon." The seventh book is very good. The eighth book, "The Ancient Holy Body," is also very exciting and super exciting. The people of Great Chu are not cowards.
