A cramped study, outdated furnishings, and a dusty floor—

A hunched figure, elongated by the light, stood silently and motionless at the doorway of the room.

A slightly hoarse female voice narrated at this moment: "I never thought I would come back here—"

The antique-style gate swung open, and the young man looked up, revealing a pair of obedient and bright eyes. He slightly raised the corners of his lips, his tone filled with excitement and joy: "Sister? You're back?!"

"Bang--"

The bullet pierced through the bookshelf, and an elderly man, though frail, rolled to the other side of the bookshelf.

She leaned against the bookshelf, raised her hands which trembled slightly with age, and quietly observed the bloodstains between her fingers, a look of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.

That hoarse voice, like that of an old man in his twilight years, rang out again: "Is immortality a curse or a mission for us?"

She then raised her hand, pulled out a pistol from a gap in the bookshelf, turned around, and fired at the person approaching her.

"Bang bang bang—"

The intense gunfight turned the cozy bookstore into a mess, but the moment the old man turned around, the scene flashed back to the dazzling superstar on stage.

A young, pretty girl with many small braids in the audience looked disgusted, chewing gum as she said indignantly, "Why hasn't he gotten old?"

The next moment, the young man was thrown away, and a knife pierced his chest, but the bleeding stopped the next second.

The entire spacetime seemed to freeze for a moment, and even the intense sound effects became muffled again, as if they were trapped in a bag, the sound buzzing and making people feel as if their hearts were being squeezed.

The beautiful and radiant woman looked down at the assassin in front of her, dropping the bullets one by one to the ground.

Those phoenix eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent.

"I have already settled in a secluded corner, and have no desires."

"But now that things have come to this, I have no other choice."

In an instant, she raised her gun and shot the charging man, while the other characters behind her made their entrance. Amidst the intense drumbeats and background music, names flashed by, and the calligraphy title of "Yu Ye" appeared in the center of the dark screen—

Finally, there's a slightly humorous post-credits scene.

"Yin Qi!!!"

At the dining table, Yin Lan put one foot on the stool and grabbed Yin Qi's face with one hand, lifting him directly off his seat.

"Did you steal my little cake?!"

"Ah, it wasn't me! Sis, sis! Let go!!!"

The scene shifts, and Yin Lan is sitting in her seat eating the small cake she got back, while Yin Qi's face is so swollen from being punched that he's eating his cheese bread with a pitiful expression.

Seemingly noticing the camera, Yin Qi's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and a dinner knife flew through the air—

"Bang--"

The screen went black again.

"See you on January 1st for 'The Corner'!"

Haha, I'm not saying who laughed in the post-credits scene.

[As expected of the author, they just casually slapped their forehead and filmed a bonus episode for us; it's so satisfying!]

[And I originally thought that if it was all pure action and gunfights, it would weaken the superpowers of the drug users, but I didn't expect that they would still film it in the end. The special effects during the fight scenes were top-notch, which was really cool.]

[It has all the excitement, action, and humor you could want! Pre-register for "Sumi" now! You won't regret it!]

[Is this joke referring to Yin Qi? —A fan of the original novel trying not to laugh]
