Fang Xiang

This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world.  Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice.  The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos –  human and nonhuman –  into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more.  Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

Caesar took an unconcerned glance at Su Hanhao's head and muttered, "You have a good son. He is much more cruel than you."

After finishing his sentence, he leaned over and took the 'Madman's Eyes' from Su Hanhao's meter. Then, he searched for the four notebooks from his body.

"Caesar! Leave the stuff there!" Meiji shouted in anger.

Caesar made a cynical expression. He took a cold glance at Meiji and without saying anything, he leaped into the air.

Watching Caesar's figure disappearing in the night sky, Meiji couldn't help it but slumped to the floor, his face was pale. With blood dripping from her mouth, Baiyue glanced at Su Hanhao's disintegrated body and shivered. Another top notched card artisan in the Heavenly Federation has fallen.

The Wolf is here!
