Bear with a human face Chapter 1
When Liang Yu and I reached the campsite, four others were already waiting for us. Two tents had been pitched and a fire pit was neatly arranged, topped with a cast-iron grill. Pots, pans, and utensils were laid out around it, as if by invisible hands. “You made it!” Lin Qiang called out, grinning as he helped us drag our own tent out of the trunk. The rest of our group, Zhou Mei, Guo Ran, and Chao Fei were unpacking supplies behind him. They weren’t just Liang Yu’s friends; they were the core…-

The Pyramid Chapter 7
BACK, FIVE THOUSAND YEARS Carlton felt that there was no need for haste. His first sense of panic had disappeared by this time. In its place had come a feeling of wonder comparatively reflective and calm. He was intensely alert to his physical sensations and his physical surroundings. This was lion-skin on which he reclined. Beneath it was the unmistakable feel of solid rock. "This is an inner chamber of the pyramid," he said softly. "Yes, my own." "And you are Queen Netokris?" "Most…-

When I turned sixty-six, my long-lost husband, Li Zhenghao, finally returned to our hometown, dressed in fine clothes and looking every bit the successful man he had become. -
When the transfer came through, I took Director Wang’s arm and headed for the elevator. “Let’s go, Director Wang.” He leaned heavily on me, reeking of alcohol. “Miss Yan, heh heh—” I grinned right back. “Heh heh—” In the hotel room, Director Wang immediately stripped off his shirt and rubbed his hands together, leering at me. “Take your clothes off.” I nodded. “Sure. Goodbye.” I turned to leave, but the system shrieked, “Forced punishment warning! Forced punishment…

After that night, Li Zhenyu ignored me for days. Honestly, I enjoyed the peace and threw myself into brainstorming ways to make money. Pointing at an ancient-looking podocarpus tree outside the window, I said excitedly, “Look, that tree is over two hundred years old. Li Zhenyu paid three million yuan for it. If I sell it and replace it with a cheap one, we could pocket the difference. What do you think?” The system immediately shot me down. I was annoyed. “How could selling a tree possibly affect…

After Yan Group went bankrupt, my dad had a heart attack and landed in the hospital. With all our assets frozen, I had no choice but to ask Li Zhenyu for help.

The Pyramid Chapter 6
THROUGH GHOSTLY CORRIDORS He knew that they had not entered the Pyramid of Menkaura by the passageway used by tourists to-day. In that monograph of his there is a rough sketch which indicates, so far as possible, the route which he and "the woman" had followed—a succession of ghostly corridors, concerning which there is to-day no other record. Nothing will ever be done about it, most likely. The indications—Carlton admits it frankly enough—leave much to be desired. Neither geometry nor…-

The Pyramid Chapter 5
INTO THE DARK It may be said with perfect confidence that everything depends on a man's personality, on his temperament, anyway. The Society for Psychical Research, both in England and in America, has paid a good deal of attention to this phase of a man. The majority of people never see a ghost, never have even a ghostly feeling, except a sort of "creepiness," perhaps, when something or other occurs that they do not immediately understand. Yet, over against this truth is the other—that the annals…-
