“No investigation, no right to speak—you accuse us of being charlatans, promoting feudal superstitions, but which pair of cash-bought eyes has ever seen us spreading tales of the supernatural?”
Luo Yu glared fiercely at the computer screen, his fingers clattering out a string of characters. He exhaled, right-clicking to refresh the dialog box over and over, waiting for that guy to come back and argue.
The web page’s background was a pale blue sky dotted with a few white clouds, setting off the white-and-blue interface of the country’s largest online forum: Dushou Waterbar.
