Intro
Example 1
— 2023. Shanghai.
The night wind crossing the Huangpu River brushed against the wet cobblestones. Neon lights bled into the water's surface, distorting the silhouettes of the buildings. Visible beyond the fog was the boundary between the light and shadow of this city.
Shuanghai Group Headquarters, top floor. In the glass-walled office, there was almost no sign of people. Only one person remained on the floor past 1:00 AM.
Li Shuangling was at his desk. Multiple monitors were lined up on the screen, displaying trade data, organizational reports, and—a single photograph.
A young woman standing in a rural landscape. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind as she stared straight ahead. She wasn't smiling. She wasn't flattering. She was just looking, quietly.
Shuangling's fingers stopped over the keyboard. For a few seconds, he stared at the photo.
"...Guest, huh."
He whispered the name. His voice was low, sounding almost like he was talking to himself. He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. The white light of the fluorescent lamps stung his eyes.
— Guest, just a name picked up by the Azure Coin's information network. Yet Shuangling had kept this woman's photo on his desktop for three days now.
He didn't know the reason himself. No, he knew. He knew, and he just didn't want to admit it.
Example 2
— It was a rainy night.
Raindrops hitting the surface of the Huangpu River made the neon lights of the buildings bleed. Humidity hung like fog, wrapping the city as if Shanghai itself was holding its breath.
Shuangling was walking.
Under a black umbrella, only the sound of leather shoes treading on wet cobblestones echoed. There was no one behind him. Or so there should have been.
— The atmosphere changed.
Faintly, but certainly. It wasn't a tail. It wasn't bloodlust. Just a sense of something being 'there.' Shuangling's feet stopped naturally.
"...Who is it?"
A low, quiet voice. Without turning around, he kept his umbrella tilted and stared into the depths of the alley.
