Many things happened that night.

The Chronicler's family experiences a series of strange events; the sisters on the other side, Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part, begin to suspect and distrust each other; and Female Ghost appears in his Dormitory...

That night, everyone encountered some strange and unusual things, except for one person.

That's Xia Wen.

Because the other party didn't send him a single message all night...

Based on this situation, Bai Zhi deduced two possibilities.

One possibility is that the other person is in a situation where they cannot send a message; another possibility is that... the other person may be asleep.

"Something strange happened last night... uh, I think so?"

During breakfast time after morning self-study, in the school Canteen, Xia Wen seemed somewhat uncertain when faced with Bai Zhi's question.

"Last night when I was sleeping, I thought I heard a really scary cat meowing outside the window... and a picture book."

As he spoke, Xia Wen tried his best to put on a terrifying expression.

"At first, there was only one cat meowing, then it became two cats, then three cats, four cats, five cats... It was really, really, really scary!!"

"And then you fell asleep while counting? Honestly, I'd actually recommend counting dumplings..."

As he spoke, Bai Zhi reached out and delivered a chop to the other person's hand.

"Also, malicious cuteness is prohibited."

"Pah, who's being cute? Anna was just... let me finish. There's more to the scary stuff than just this."

With his hands covering his head and glaring at someone, Xia Wen continued speaking with slight dissatisfaction.

"As soon as I got home from evening self-study, my family supervised me while I did my homework. They sat right next to me and watched. At first, I saw only one, then I looked up and saw two, then I looked up again and found three..."

Xia Wen raised his hands, holding up six fingers in front of him, his face serious.

"To tell you the truth, when I left home this morning, there were already six mothers and seven fathers arguing like crazy over trivial matters like groceries."

"Hmm... With so many people, do you have enough room to sleep?"

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, then thought for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"And your distribution is a bit uneven. What are we going to do when we sleep at night? Are we going to have a free-for-all of 13?"

"Living room floor, living room Sofa, bedroom floor, balcony, kitchen, toilet... The house is a bit small, but we can still squeeze in."

As he counted on his fingers, Xia Wen nodded.

"There are three mothers sleeping on the floor of my room. I can only sleep at night and can't even send text messages. I almost stepped on them when I got up in the morning... It's so annoying."

"... Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?"

After listening intently for a while with his lips twitching, the Chronicler finally couldn't help but ask Xia Wen a question.

"Also, wasn't that situation terrifying? How could you be so calm?"

"Uh... my parents shouldn't be that ugly or frightening, right?"

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Wen asked somewhat uncertainly.

"She's just a little common- looking, but she's not scary or terrifying, is she...?"

Chronicler: "..."

... She realized that the conversation was going nowhere.

It seems birds of a feather flock together; is it true that Monster are surrounded by other Monster?

"What's the use of being afraid of that kind of thing? Calming down is the most important thing."

Bai Zhi looked up at the Chronicler and pursed his lips.

"Like me, I spent the whole night in bed with a really hot Female Ghost yesterday. Do you think I'm interested?"

Seemingly recalling the scene from last night, Bai Zhi looked up at the ceiling with a sigh and a sense of melancholy.

"Although I understand her love for me, as the saying goes, the mortal and the ghost are destined to be apart, so I firmly rejected her. She wanted to be my Nie Xiaoqian, but unfortunately, I am not her Ning Caichen..."

"..."

The Chronicler lowered his head and silently took a big bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

... Is that really the crux of the problem!? Can't you guys focus on something truly useful!?

What the hell is this about being moved or not?!

It was breakfast time, and the five of them gathered at the school Canteen. However, it was obvious that Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part and A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks had a conflict, or rather, they hadn't sorted out that strange feeling between them, so this time they sat far apart.

In reality, Bai Zhi couldn't really interfere in their affairs. After all, they were the ones who knew each other best, while he was completely unfamiliar with both of them. It would be foolish for an outsider to meddle.

For some unknown reason, Bai Zhi always felt that A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks when she looked at him...

"Why don't you two have a fight? Whoever wins will be Sun Wukong?"

On the school rooftop in the afternoon, looking at the two people in front of him, Bai Zhi sincerely offered a suggestion.

"Or rather, I know a weird dance called 'Chicken You Too'... Should I find you a basketball?"

"... You must already know the truth about all this by suddenly gathering us together, right?"

His lips twitched slightly, Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part selectively ignored certain of the other person's words... especially the last sentence.

Regarding the latter sentence, although she didn't quite understand what that strange dance was, she always felt there was a deep malice in it.

"That's about right, let's wait until everyone else arrives before we talk about it."

Yawning, Bai Zhi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"We've gathered most of the information and clues; now we just need to find concrete evidence... We're all skipping school this afternoon."

One night is enough time to do a lot of things.

After that, several more incidents occurred where all the Shadow Guard and Shadow Puppet were wiped out, while Bai Zhi took several small tests along the way.

Some of these quizzes were conducted in the Dormitory, while others were held Teaching Building. If the sow, whom the school had to send eight Teacher to catch, hadn't been locked up in the Canteen and remained alive and unsummoned, there might have been another sow rampage in the Dormitory...

Through Bai Zhi's testing, he discovered that the sealing of that power had absolutely no pattern; sometimes it would appear every few hours, and sometimes it would appear every ten minutes or so.

--In addition, this phenomenon did not occur synchronously among the Player.

For example, when the Chronicler's power is sealed, his power is not sealed, and when his power is sealed, the Chronicler's power is not sealed, or at a certain time, both of their powers are sealed simultaneously...

Based on his request to know the timing of each message sent by the other party when this phenomenon occurred, Bai Zhi made these summaries.

This information, along with the conclusions he drew from those quizzes, was enough for him to essentially pinpoint some of the background information about the story.

In a sense, the difficulty of this story increases dramatically as it progresses, eventually leading to a total annihilation.

However, if you understand the story's plot in the early stages, completing the game is quite simple... literally simple.
