The Golden-winged Sparrow flew over the streets and alleys, arriving in front of an apartment building where it didn't stop but directly entered a third-floor window.

"Eat."
Chen Lun took out a handful of prepared grains, spread his palm, and held it in front of the sparrow. The Golden-winged Sparrow pecked a few times, then started chirping noisily.
"The Shelter really has come knocking …"
His eyelids drooped.
That night, after leaving the gathering of the association, he had encountered Molimer's ambush. The other party evidently wanted to take revenge for the "Gentleman," thus staging a scene of the mantis stalking the cicada. But in reality, the Shelter and the Red Apple Church had already joined hands, focusing on suppressing the association members while primarily targeting Molimer.
They played the role of the oriole, striking at Molimer together after faking their own "defeat and death."
