After Qi Si pried open the door on the second floor of the Residence, it was left ajar; one push and it swung wide. Tang Yu and Lin Chen stepped into Luo Haihua and her husband's room, and after reading the paper covered in writing on the bedside table, both looked grim. Qi Si stood by, unperturbed. ‘Tang Yu, Lin Ya, what did you figure out?' he asked, already knowing the answer. Tang Yu said, ‘According to this, the two old military…-

After Qi Si appeared in Lin Chen and Tang Yu's line of sight, a gap quietly appeared in the Bamboo Forest, where they couldn't find a way out before, just wide enough for two people to pass through. The path they had taken to arrive reappeared perfectly in front of Qi Si, with the other end leading directly to their feet, remotely connecting the players who had split into two groups. Scarecrows with human faces stood on either side of the path, like attendants…

In a second-floor room of the eastern Residence, two different handwritings question and answer across the page, sketching a plot utterly unlike the one unfolding west of town. Luo Haihua and her husband saw a lantern topple on its own at night; ready to intervene, they learned from a clue-analyzing item that dying in a great fire wasn't an accidental death flag—it was the key to cracking the world-view. The item told them Yanghua Town had been razed by fire years ago and no…

"Don't get too close." The scholar warned, yet his feet stayed rooted, not following the players. By Yanghua Town's rules, as a resident he had to keep out of sight while the bearers carried the dead beyond the town limits. Only players were allowed to follow the paper figures out for a look. Four paper figures on donkeys bore the Old Man's corpse, bobbing in unison like a boat on a choppy sea as they drifted down the street. Yanghua's roads ran mostly east–west; the…

Each player carried a lantern and, led by the Scholar, walked out of the western Residence's grounds. “Pat, pat,” their footsteps tapped in rhythm as the dense wooden houses drifted away behind them. Great swaths of architectural shadow shrank like clouds scattered by wind; bright daylight poured overhead, turning the ground mirror-bright. Yanghua Town bustled by day: every wooden building lining the road housed shops—clothes, rouge, curios, pawnbrokers—an endless, dazzling…

The fresh lines that had appeared on the paper greeted the players with a simple “We're fine,” and ended almost as soon as they began. The last few characters grew even fainter, their shapes loose, strokes meandering—as though the hand holding the pen had suddenly lost its strength and could only sketch a rough outline of each word. Even so, the message they conveyed was priceless. Luo Haihua and her husband, whom the others had feared dead, were alive inside the instance—and could…

The little old woman who took over the Residence after the old man nagged Tang Yu a few more times before leaving with the keychain. When the players gathered, they realized that nearly half of them were missing after just one night. Luo Haihua and her husband disappeared due to an invisible fire caused by an overturned lantern, and it was likely they had met a terrible end. Qiu Xin climbed out the window and should still be alive, but it was confirmed that she was in…

Qi Si ultimately did not attempt to climb out of the Residence through the window. The reason was simple: the old man's corpse still had bloodstains, and the skeletons below still had strips of half-rotted flesh hanging from them. It was too dirty. And the Residence didn't seem to have a place to bathe. Qi Si and Lin Chen took advantage of the ample morning light to search the room from inside out. They found no new clues and were unable to complete the missing…

Dawn broke in the east, and all things revived. The milky white morning light slanted into the room from the east, dispelling the ignorance and gloom within the Residence, covering the swirling dust and scattered bloodstains with a thin layer of light. Qi Si slowly woke up and checked the time displayed on the Pocket Watch of Fate: exactly six o'clock in the morning. He listlessly yawned, staring blankly at the ceiling with dull eyes. He realized that he could never sleep in late…

In the Eerie Game player plaza, Ruins of the Sunset, a black tower soared into the sky. A giant golden tree grew in front of the tower. Beneath the tree, several stone tablets of varying sizes were engraved with dense text that shifted on its own as time passed. The rankings on the largest stone tablet were already fixed; the name "Fu Jue" sat high in the first position, drawing everyone's attention. Slightly smaller than this tablet was a series of stones engraved with titles like…
