Chapter Summaries

Luo Jiayu told An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao about the Count of Ravenhall’s murderous history and the garden’s buried bodies before a sheep-headed monster attacked them in the kitchen. As the kitchen monsters surrounded them, the three fought to reach the staff changing room, and Luo Jiayu’s water snakes began disabling the pig-headed monster blocking the exit.

• Luo Jiayu explained that servants had been killed and buried in the former forest and garden, and began recounting what she had heard about the lake before a sheep-headed monster interrupted her.
• The sheep-headed monster attacked, and Sheng Qingqiao knocked it down with his enlarged broadsword as the trio fled into the kitchen, where other monsters turned on them.
• An Ying used his Bamboo Umbrella to block cleavers while Luo Jiayu revealed that her hair could become venomous water snakes and used them against a deer-headed monster.
• An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao decided to reach the staff changing room for clean clothes, while Sheng Qingqiao held back the monsters and An Ying cleared a path.
• Luo Jiayu’s water snakes slipped into the pig-headed monster’s head and attacked its eyes and nerves, making it clutch its head and shriek.

Sheng Qingqiao, Luo Jiayu, Mi Chuchu, and An Ying were overwhelmed by the mutated food creatures, while Wang Ding and Bai Ao were killed after uncovering Ravenhall’s buried bodies. The squad began its third run in a newly unlocked Special Dream, where Tao Yuan awoke in a maid’s uniform and was summoned by the Second Young Master.

• Sheng Qingqiao, Luo Jiayu, and Mi Chuchu escaped the dining room as An Ying held back the mutated food creatures, but the creatures’ strange rules injured all four of them.
• Mi Chuchu used her Holy Staff to pull the group together, and they joked that they might not survive as the creatures closed in.
• Wang Ding and Bai Ao unearthed skeletons and recently buried corpses, identified Kane, Darren, and two women, and were confronted by Wang and the Butler with Qin Rang in their custody.
• Wang ordered the Butler to kill the intruders, while hidden corpses attacked Wang Ding and Bai Ao; the kitchen group was also overwhelmed, and the squad received a death notice with ten Dream Points remaining.
• The squad spent its Dream Points to begin the third run, which the system identified as a newly unlocked Special Dream.
• Tao Yuan awoke in a maid’s uniform in a dim, altered Ravenhall and followed the Second Young Master out after he called for her.

Wang manipulated the Second Young Master into approaching their mother and provoked Gui Ding into losing her temper in front of her. That night, Gui Ding began torturing servants and ordered Sheng Qingqiao and Bai Ao to continue, leaving them to choose between cruelty and disobedience.

• Wang suggested that the Second Young Master use the possibility that Darren was their mother's illegitimate son to gain influence, and the Second Young Master hurried off to approach her.
• Wang warned Qin Rang to stay blind, deaf, and mute if he wanted to survive, then baited Gui Ding into kicking over his tea and attempting to slap him.
• Wang Ding blocked Gui Ding's slap, and their mother arrived and reprimanded Gui Ding in front of the Second Young Master.
• That night, Qin Rang awoke to find himself and the others caged while Gui Ding tortured servants and handed Sheng Qingqiao and Bai Ao a knife, ordering them to take over.

The Eldest Miss forced Bai Ao and Sheng Qingqiao to carry out her orders under the crushing power of the Rules, then chose An Ying as the next victim. As the Rules clouded Bai Ao’s mind, he stabbed An Ying, who narrowly survived and reached for a healing Weird Object.

• Sheng Qingqiao struggled against strange thoughts urging him to side with the Eldest Miss, while Bai Ao stopped him from raising his knife against the captive.
• The Eldest Miss used the Rules to overpower Bai Ao and Sheng Qingqiao, but Bai Ao persuaded her that the captive was too ugly to flay, so she ordered other servants to kill and bury her outside.
• The Eldest Miss selected An Ying as the next person to be flayed, and the Rules suppressed his energy and prevented him from activating his Weird Object.
• Under the Eldest Miss’s pressure, Bai Ao’s thoughts became confused, and he stabbed An Ying in the back; An Ying avoided a fatal wound and grabbed a healing Weird Object.
• Sheng Qingqiao regained his senses after the first stab but was too overwhelmed by the Rules to stop Bai Ao.

Qin Rang and the others secretly freed the prisoners while Wang manipulated the Eldest Miss into taking the blame for the deaths. After the Eldest Miss killed the Second Young Master, Tao Yuan struck her down, and Sheng Qingqiao escaped with Wang.

Tao Yuan and her companions escaped the Eldest Miss and followed Wang through the Castle’s Secret Chambers to a Safe House where she could not enter. Wang served them wine, then revealed that he had poisoned every cup.

• Tao Yuan’s group fled after her Chainsaw attack failed to stop the Eldest Miss, and Wang led them through the Castle’s maze of Secret Chambers.
• Wang brought the group into the Safe Passage in Father and Mother’s room, where the Eldest Miss’s pursuit stopped and the Rules’ binding force receded.
• Qin Rang and the others rested in a lavish room while Wang poured wine and reassured them that they were safe.
• The group sampled the wine, and Wang revealed that he had put poison in all of it.

After the Countess rescued Wang and the others, she and the count confined the servants and the Calamity Crossing Squad, who suspected they would be silenced. Trapped and unable to find clues, the squad faced a looming death until Sheng Qingqiao questioned whether they were in a dream or reality.

• Wang admitted that his claim about the drink had been a lie, and Qin Rang joined in his cheerful act.
• The Countess arrived and rescued Wang, then the count and Countess gathered the servants and other witnesses in a guarded sitting room.
• Wang told Darren and Kane that the Eldest Miss would not kill both him and Second Brother, and Kane considered seeking her favor while Darren wondered who would win the family’s power struggle.
• The Calamity Crossing Squad realized the count and Countess intended to silence them, and Tao Yuan said their only chance was to escape the Secret Chamber and leave the Castle.
• The squad searched for clues and discussed the Young Master’s strange influence, but found nothing until Sheng Qingqiao asked whether they were in a dream or reality.

Tao Yuan and the others began the Fourth Loop, dug up the dead in the Garden, and helped the undying entities recognize their corpses. The group then overheard the Eldest Young Master accuse the Eldest Miss of murdering his brothers and trying to poison him.

• Tao Yuan and the others completed their tasks and survived the first night of the Fourth Loop, then found an old photograph of the Second Young Master.

• Bai Ao matched the corpses to the weird entities, causing the entities to lose their undying state and dissipate.
• After resting, Qin Rang and the others heard the Eldest Young Master accuse the Eldest Miss of killing Kane and Darren and trying to poison him.
• The Eldest Miss denied that she stood to gain from killing the Eldest Young Master, but privately acknowledged that she had considered doing so.

Wang tried to prevent the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss from fighting by delaying their hunting competition, while Qin Rang and the others helped protect the servants. As the contest approached, Qin Rang learned that a writer staying on the fifth floor used a wheelchair, and that the black cat belonged to the Dune family.

• The Eldest Miss accused the Eldest Young Master of improper ties to Darren, and he answered that he would challenge her to a hunting competition.
• Wang sent the Butler to hurry the parents home and planned to buy time, then concealed his amusement when the Butler left.
• Qin Rang and his companions were discovered listening in, and they offered to help Wang delay the contest.
• Wang replaced the servants chosen for the competition with Mi Chuchu, An Ying, Sheng Qingqiao, Luo Jiayu, and Tang Pin, while Bai Ao and Wang Ding served as his Noble Attendants.
• Before the contest, Sheng Qingqiao warned Qin Rang that something felt wrong, and Qin Rang asked Wang about the upstairs wheelchair and the black cat.

Qin Rang and Wang delivered silver arrows to the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss before their deadly contest began, while Mi Chuchu and the other servants were forced to flee as nobles shot at them. Mi Chuchu tried to protect the targeted servants, and the Eldest Miss turned her bow toward her as the Eldest Young Master continued to toy with Luo Jiayu.

• Wang told Qin Rang that the Butler had taught him to polish the silver arrows, then delivered them to the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss.
• The Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss began their contest by chasing and shooting the servants released onto the Racetrack.
• The Eldest Young Master's arrow killed a servant, and Mi Chuchu clenched her fists while Qin Rang and Tao Yuan looked away.
• Mi Chuchu used her defensive ability to shove a little girl out of an arrow's path, drawing the Eldest Miss's displeased attention.
• Luo Jiayu dodged the Eldest Young Master's arrows while a fellow slave used her as a shield, and she realized the Eldest Young Master was deliberately toying with her.

During the Racetrack contest, the siblings’ arrows killed or injured the fleeing servants, while Mi Chuchu and the others survived with the help of the Dessert Chef’s time-reversing cookies. Qin Rang used Boss Lin’s guidance beads and saw golden lines connect to Wang and spread across the sky, leaving him alarmed and unsure what the guidance meant.

• Luo Jiayu was struck by the Eldest Miss’s arrow but survived because a Dessert Chef cookie reversed her death, and Wang Ding explained that Sheng Qingqiao had predicted who would need the cookies.
• Mi Chuchu and the others helped several servants evade the siblings, while Qin Rang’s growing unease made him suspect Wang despite the lack of warnings from their other Weird Objects.
• The Eldest Miss shot the Eldest Young Master’s horse, causing him to fall and roll into the Racetrack railing before an attendant brought him a replacement horse.
• Qin Rang activated Boss Lin’s guidance beads, which formed golden lines that first wound around Wang’s wrist and then spread upward across the sky.
• Tao Yuan asked whether they should attack Wang, but Qin Rang stared at the expanding lines and doubted the Weird Object’s guidance.

Qin Rang followed the golden threads to the Count and Countess, suspecting they were behind the murders. At the Racetrack, the Eldest Miss killed Wang and the Eldest Young Master, then silver arrows struck the Count and Countess and rained down on the Racetrack.

• Qin Rang left the Racetrack and followed the golden threads toward the Count and Countess's private quarters.

After the group was killed by silver arrows and reset for a fifth run, Qin Rang and the others regrouped to investigate the Rivenhall Family and prevent the deaths they had seen. They followed Wang and Kane, hoping to uncover the killer and the meaning of Wang’s diary.

• After the group and the Rivenhall Family were killed, everyone restarted at the Castle gates and began the fifth run.
• Qin Rang’s group compared what they knew, suspected that the killer might be connected to the servants or the Illegitimate Son, and planned to follow the people involved that night.
• Qin Rang noticed a diary beside Wang in the Garden and wondered whether it contained writing, but found no chance to take it.

• Wang Ding reported Kane’s secret visits and gifts to Qin Rang, who told him to keep following Kane and save him if possible.
• Qin Rang saw the Butler bring lunch to the Young Master and noted how often the Butler stayed near him.

Qin Rang uncovered Wang’s diary, which showed that Wang had been manipulating conflicts in the household, while the group investigated the family’s history and survived the second day. On the third morning, they debated whether Wang or the Butler was responsible for the deaths and prepared to bring the Count and Countess back.

• Qin Rang used the Weird Object Three-Minute Enthusiasm to read Wang’s diary and found records of household secrets and plans to stir conflict.

• Qin Rang accused Wang Liwenhuoer of bearing responsibility for the deaths, but the Count and Countess rejected the accusation.
• Qin Rang arranged breakfast as a chance for the killer to strike, while Wang watched and drank wine.
• The Eldest Miss began coughing black blood and died, then the Eldest Young Master showed the same symptoms and collapsed dead.

Wang admitted that the wine had been poisoned, but the Count and Countess revealed they had expected him to scheme against his siblings and would not interfere in the family’s struggle for inheritance. He left Qin Rang and the others with a question about who the killer really was.

• The Count and Countess calmly discussed the deaths of Rong En and Gui Ding, saying they had known what Wang wanted and had let their children decide the outcome themselves.
• Wang challenged his parents over their failure to stop him, and they explained that they viewed the siblings’ struggle as a fight for survival and the title.
• Wang dismissed his parents’ belated praise, recalling how they had ignored the abuse he suffered from his siblings.
• Bai Yang’s Little Rabbit asked whether Wang had killed the two siblings, and Wang asked Qin Rang what he thought.
• Qin Rang guessed that the wine was poisoned, and Wang confirmed it, then asked the group to name the killer.

Wang revealed that he had manipulated the family with poisoned wine, and Qin Rang’s group died after drinking it, ending the fifth round. In the sixth round, Tao Yuan woke with a severe nosebleed, and the group began investigating when they had been poisoned.

• Qin Rang and Tao Yuan hesitated to answer whether Wang had killed the Count and Countess, so the couple and Wang returned to normal.
• Wang told the Count and Countess that someone had poisoned the wine and admitted he had withheld the danger to watch them react.

• Bai Yang, Wang, and the Butler remained alive as the Black Cat watched, and the fifth round ended before the sixth began.
• Tao Yuan awoke at breakfast with a severe nosebleed, so the group skipped the meal and evening banquet.
• The group gathered later to discuss whether the poison had come from the wine in the Third Loop or from the Castle’s usual food and drink.

After realizing that the wine in the Third Loop had poisoned them, Qin Rang and Tao Yuan brought the Count and Countess back to the Castle to expose the Butler and Wang. Wang and the Butler revealed they had been expecting them and launched an attack, leaving the group fighting the Black Cats and Silver Arrows.

• Wang Ding and the others concluded that poisoned wine from the Third Loop had caused their deaths, and Mi Chuchu proposed resolving the plot before the Count and Countess ate or drank again.
• Qin Rang and Tao Yuan forcibly brought the Count and Countess back to the Castle and told them that the Butler and Wang were plotting to kill the family.

• Luo Jiayu recalled her remaining snakes as Sheng Qingqiao's Broadsword engaged the Cat Boys and An Ying fired at the Butler.

• Sheng Qingqiao landed in a forest near the Castle and found himself surrounded by a rapidly spreading blaze that cut off his escape.

Sheng Qingqiao escaped the sea of flames and reached Bai Yang, who used rain and a healing bun to keep him alive. Bai Yang’s group reached the edge of the fire, where Luo Jiayu joined them and used her last healing Weird Object on Sheng Qingqiao, leaving him awake but badly burned.

• Sheng Qingqiao followed a faint sign of hope through the flames and collapsed after Bai Yang extinguished the fire around him.
• Bai Yang fed Sheng Qingqiao a healing bun, soaked his dolls with rain, and rode a giant rabbit toward the Castle gates.
• Wang and the Cat Boy discussed Wen Keke and the coffin, while the Writer clarified that the leader wanted both sides nurtured rather than played with or harvested.
• Luo Jiayu spotted the giant rabbit, used a Weather Card to protect herself, and reached Bai Yang at the edge of the flames.
