Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

At night, the flight trajectory of Sword Qi had been detected along its route; it even flew over Minsk, almost not hitting anything significant.


But it still scared the various groups who were clearing the ruins of Minsk, prompting them to send urgent inquiries to the Circle of Truth about what new weapon had just flown by.


The Circle of Truth stated that there was no plan to test any new weapons.


The city of Vinnaci, closest to Lublin, reported that this 'light' had come from Lublin. The energy field of the light was visible to the naked eye, and no one dared to touch it as it flew about thirty meters above the northern side of the city.


The message was simple—if this was not a new weapon from Lublin, then the Circle of Truth had better look into it.
