Embers Ad Infinitum

descend from the sky and slam into the concrete ground.

Bang!

Blood quickly seeped out from beneath the man’s head.
His body also convulsed a few times before he stopped moving.

“He committed suicide by jumping off a building, or was he thrown down?” Long Yuehong couldn’t see too clearly because of the distance.

Shang Jianyao took the lead and walked over, looking like he wanted to check if the other party could still be saved.
Jiang Baimian, Genava, and Bai Chen followed behind.

Long Yuehong was stunned for a second before he quickly chased after them.

“He jumped down from the hotel window.”

“It should be a suicide…” The Ruin Hunters watching the area discussed the situation they had seen and made judgment.

After passing them, Long Yuehong’s eyes suddenly widened.

The person lying on the ground had stopped breathing.
His blue eyes were wide open, and his blond hair was dyed red with blood.

Fars!

This was Fars from the lone Hunter team! Fars—who had explored Wasteland Ruin 13 with the Old Task Force!

After the expedition ended and everyone returned safely, he actually chose to jump and fall to his death.

At this moment, Long Yuehong’s mind was filled with the Hunters who had committed suicide in Wasteland Ruin 13.

Five of them committed suicide by jumping off a building.

It’s Fars now.
Who’s next…
Long Yuehong felt a chill run down his spine.

The next second, Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice, “Hey and I will find Wang Fugui.
Old Ge, find Gray and Ferrington.
Little White and Little Red will find Waite and confirm that they are fine.
Also, keep an eye on each other along the way.
Don’t ignore any strange behavior.”

Among them, they could only be certain that Genava—the smart bot who had yet to enter Wasteland Ruin 13—wasn’t affected.

“Alright!” Shang Jianyao replied immediately.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The Old Task Force quintet split into three groups and rushed into the castle’s main building, heading for the camp hotel on the fourth floor.

…

Bang!

Shang Jianyao directly slammed Wang Fugui’s door open.

Wang Fugui—who was facing the east and raising his hands like an eagle spreading its wings—jumped in fright and reflexively rolled to the side.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shang Jianyao clapped and praised, “Very experienced.”

“What’s wrong?” Wang Fugui was surprised and confused.
Although this fellow looked abnormal, it was still rather abnormal for him to be so abnormal.

“Fars committed suicide by jumping off a building,” Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice.

Wang Fugui’s eyelids twitched as his eyes suddenly widened.

“What about the others?” he blurted out.

“We haven’t made confirmations yet.” Jiang Baimian was waiting for Genava, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong to report the situation through the walkie-talkies.

…

In the other room, Genava mimicked Shang Jianyao and slammed open the wooden door.

Inside, Gray was dancing around a stove under the light on a hot summer night.

Upon sensing the commotion, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the door.
At the same time, he assumed a dodging posture.

He didn’t sense human consciousness, so he wasn’t prepared to counterattack.
He then saw the robot with red eyes twitch its limbs and dance.

“…” Gray was dumbfounded.

Genava finished dancing and explained, “Hey said that politeness means equality.”

“W-what’s wrong?” Gray was confused.

Genava replied in a slightly synthetic male voice, “Fars committed suicide by jumping off a building.”

“What?” Gray was abnormally horrified.

…

At the door of Waite’s room.

During Long Yuehong’s moment of hesitation, Bai Chen had already raised her right foot and kicked the lock.

With a bang, the door flew open.

What Long Yuehong saw was a patch of red.

Waite was lying in a pool of blood, and his face was abnormally pale.
He was already on his deathbed.

There was a dagger in his chest.
From the slanted angle, it was likely driven into his chest using his right hand.

He had also committed suicide.

Long Yuehong felt a chill run down his spine, but he instinctively rushed over and habitually checked Waite’s injuries.
Bai Chen looked around and picked up the walkie-talkie.

At this moment, Waite seemed to see Long Yuehong.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn’t make a sound.
With unfocused eyes, he moved his right hand and pointed to the side.

On the hotel’s provided table was a piece of paper pressed down with a ballpoint pen.
