Chapter 211

Fu Li always felt that something was amiss with his body. Over the past century or so, this feeling had grown increasingly distinct, especially whenever he touched that dead smartphone; a lingering intuition told him he had lost something.

Over these past four hundred years, Fu's mind seemed to be getting sharper and sharper—unlike four hundred years ago, when his IQ would drop to zero at the first sign of an emergency.

The four of them sat frozen at the four sides of the table like statues caught in a frame.
