Fu Qian encountered Eva in an apparently deserted school, where she revealed that a supernatural presence was inside and tried to lead him out. They discovered that the normally unlocked exit was sealed by a rusty iron door.

• Fu Qian found Joshua's fresh-looking corpse in the storage room and noticed his clothes had been changed since the party.
• Eva recognized Joshua and gasped, but Fu Qian reminded her to stay quiet as footsteps stopped outside.
• Fu Qian and Eva watched from the door crack as the footsteps passed and faded away.
• Eva saw that the passerby's head was wrapped in a pale yellow jacket, and Fu Qian said he would likely meet the creature chasing them.

Fu Qian investigated the seated corpse, then used the silence and the mysterious figures outside to set a trap by imitating one of them. He hid on the next floor and waited as hurried footsteps followed his noisy decoy.

• Fu Qian found an abnormal mark on the back of the seated corpse’s head and concluded it had likely been struck after death, but its pockets held nothing.
• Fu Qian asked Eva whether going upstairs was forbidden, and she warned him that the old stair railing could make a loud noise.

• Fu Qian examined Salma's wounds and realized her face had been cut after she died.
• A piercing scream sounded, followed by something heavy hitting the ground.

• Fu Qian followed the footprints to a dark corner and found the high-nosed assistant from Batters's party.
• Fu Qian went past the wary assistant and saw a person lying motionless on the stone path below an open window.
• Fu Qian reasoned that the person had likely climbed out to hide rather than been thrown from the window.
• The high-nosed assistant said he had been looking for Joshua, and Fu Qian told him the person below was not Joshua.
• Fu Qian recognized the scream as possibly belonging to Wen and noticed another figure approaching.

Fu Qian questioned two support players who were searching for Joshua and drew them into the restroom, where Eva discovered Salma’s body. Eva explained that she and Salma had practiced together that afternoon, then named Salma’s boyfriend as Wen.

• Fu Qian asked the two support players whether they wanted to find Joshua alive or dead, and they said they wanted to find him alive.
• The support players rushed into the restroom after Fu Qian pointed them toward it, and Eva screamed after finding Salma’s body.

• The two support players denied having anything to do with Salma’s death when they arrived.
• Fu Qian asked Eva whether she knew Salma’s boyfriend, and Eva answered, “Wen.”

Expert Fu questioned Eva and the two assistants, and they pieced together a plausible account of how Salma and Joshua died. After the others left, Expert Fu returned to the restroom and found disturbing answers in Eva’s notebook.

• Eva suggested Wen might have killed Salma, and Expert Fu said the scream sounded like him.

• The assistants explained that Joshua had disappeared while they were keeping watch and that they had locked the gate to keep him undisturbed.
• One assistant said Joshua had told him Salma planned to leave Wen and get together with Joshua, leading Expert Fu to outline a human explanation for the night’s deaths.
• Eva and the assistants left, and Expert Fu returned to Salma’s body and read Eva’s notebook, which contained ominous answers about the second floor and Salma.

Fu Qian read Eva’s blood-written notebook and suspected that Twilight School’s horrors had been caused by people reacting to the disappearance of supernatural forces. He tested whether the notebook could trigger the scenario, and the bathroom plunged into darkness as Salma’s head began to move, starting a new scenario.

• Fu Qian examined Eva’s notebook and found that its blood-written answers had stopped abruptly before Eva began writing increasingly frantic questions to herself.
• He reasoned that the students’ strange behavior might have been withdrawal after supernatural forces vanished, and connected the school scenario to the other April Fools’ Day scenarios.
• Fu Qian placed the notebook beneath Salma’s head, hiding it with her hair.
• The light went out, Salma’s head moved, and Fu Qian recognized that a new scenario had begun.

Fu Qian reasoned that the scripts contained multiple possible versions of events and tested how to lock in a consistent ending by leaving evidence that identified the murderer. The scene shifted to Salma’s bedroom, where he held her mouth shut as someone outside came to investigate.

• Fu Qian identified the woman beneath his hand as Salma and realized he was in her bedroom.
• Fu Qian pieced together a possible version of the Twilight School events in which Eva had attacked Salma and Wen had helped cover up the aftermath.
• Fu Qian theorized that the scripts could be completed by aligning possible events into a consistent story rather than discovering one definitive truth.
• Fu Qian placed the notebook beneath the victim’s head, and the script ended after the evidence made the murderer’s identity clear.
• Fu Qian held Salma quiet as someone outside asked about the noise, and he whispered that Wen was missing.

Fu Qian, calling himself Wolf, confronted Salma in her bedroom while searching for Wen. Salma said she had not seen Wen in two days and wanted to break up with him, but Fu Qian stayed, expecting someone to visit her.

• Fu Qian deduced that he was at Salma's house before the events at Bloodletting High School, searching for Wen after Batters had sent him to investigate.
• When someone pushed at the bedroom door, Fu Qian turned on the light and released Salma after she recognized him as possibly not a threat.
• Salma told the person outside, who sounded like her mother, to leave her alone, and the confrontation ended when the person walked away.
• Fu Qian introduced himself as Wolf and asked Salma where Wen was; she said she had last seen him two days earlier and wanted to break up with him.
• Fu Qian decided not to jump from the second-floor window and told Salma he expected someone to come visit her.

Fu Qian waited in Salma’s house and tested her reactions, eventually drawing out the abnormal side behind her recent popularity. Salma revealed that her saliva could make people infatuated with her, but Fu Qian had avoided drinking any of it.

• Fu Qian stayed in Salma’s room despite her unease and questioned her about her relationship with Wen.
• Salma brought Fu Qian water and offered him a drink from her own glass, while Fu Qian secretly avoided swallowing either glass’s contents.
• Salma’s demeanor changed, and she revealed that she had learned her true self and asked Fu Qian if he had noticed her saliva.
• Fu Qian realized Salma had tried to drug him with saliva that caused anyone who swallowed it to become infatuated with her.

Fu Qian visited Salma and learned that her supernatural saliva charm had awakened by the day before yesterday. He stayed despite her attempts to send him away, then hid in her closet and found a carved hexagon on its wall.

• Salma revealed that she was a Saliva Succubus and believed Fu Qian was pretending not to be affected by her charm.
• Fu Qian inferred that Salma had gained her charm no later than the day before yesterday, when she last saw Wen.
• Salma tried to make Fu Qian leave, but he insisted on staying until her mother left.
• Salma asked Fu Qian to turn around while she changed, then agreed that he could hide in the closet.
• Fu Qian found a deeply carved hexagon inside the closet and thought Wen might have made it.

Fu Qian stayed hidden in Salma’s wardrobe and discovered that she was secretly involved with Joshua. After slipping out, he searched Joshua’s jacket and found disturbing photographs of bloody remains, including one showing part of Joshua’s face.

• Fu Qian decided to remain at Salma’s house and investigate further after Salma’s mother left for a date.
• A young man arrived at Salma’s window, and Salma first told him to leave before inviting him inside.
• Fu Qian heard Salma and the visitor grow affectionate and recognized the visitor as Joshua.
• Fu Qian left the wardrobe while Salma and Joshua were distracted, then searched Joshua’s jacket.
• Fu Qian found photographs of torn flesh and blood, including a selfie that showed half of Joshua’s face.

Fu Qian examined Joshua’s photos and deduced that Joshua’s Supernatural Power let him heal from severe injuries, possibly leading him to stage his own death. After returning to the party basement, Fu Qian prepared to preserve Mr. Wolf’s reputation as the scene resumed.

• Fu Qian studied photos of Joshua’s injuries and concluded that his Supernatural Power explained his scar-free body and rapid healing.
• Fu Qian reasoned that Joshua may have killed himself during the party prank and arranged for his two friends to hide him until he revived.
• Fu Qian returned the photos to Joshua’s jacket pocket without waking Joshua or Salma.
• Fu Qian reappeared in the party basement beside Joshua’s bloodied body, where Batters asked how things were going.
• Fu Qian covered Joshua’s face with the jacket and turned off the light.

Fu Qian confirmed Joshua was dead and led the assistants out of the basement, telling the party guests that Joshua had been accidentally killed. After completing the containment mission, Fu Qian left the shaken assistants to deal with the body.

• Fu Qian turned on the lights and told the assistants that Joshua was dead.
• Fu Qian learned that someone might inspect the house within half an hour and had the assistants help carry Joshua upstairs.
• Fu Qian led the group through the party and told Salma and the guests that Joshua had been accidentally killed.
• Fu Qian told the assistants to find somewhere to leave Joshua, then walked out into the snow.
• The system announced that No. 3-0205 had been successfully contained.

Fu Qian pieced together how April Fools’ Day’s supernatural effects had caused the school attacks and Joshua’s failed return from the dead. After receiving his mission reward, he questioned why the mission had restricted his abilities and arranged events as a script, but the evaluation offered no answers.

• Fu Qian reconstructed how Joshua’s assistants brought his body to the school and how Wen attacked him while suffering the effects of losing Salma’s supernatural influence.
• Fu Qian concluded that the end of April Fools’ Day had erased Joshua’s supernatural vitality, preventing him from coming back to life.
• The mission evaluation awarded Fu Qian 20 Sanity Value and the special reward Blood and Wine and Blood, while reporting no kills.
• Fu Qian noticed the evaluation ignored why the mission had been scripted out of order and why it had restricted his abilities and items.

Fu Qian pieced together how the deaths and the party prank fit together, concluding that Joshua’s murder could be blamed on Wen while the party witnesses kept quiet. He received the special reward, an ordinary paper cup with the power to make blood and wine overlap, then continued deeper into the Warehouse.

• Fu Qian reasoned that Eva had murdered Wen out of jealousy, while Joshua’s death could be pinned on Wen and mistaken for part of the party prank.
• Fu Qian concluded that the two assistants would likely conceal the truth about Joshua’s body to avoid trouble and preserve the story that they had played a prank.
• Fu Qian received the consumable reward Blood and Wine and Blood, a paper cup that caused blood and wine within range to share a concept for three hours.
• Fu Qian placed the cup among his collection on the Evil God's Table and walked deeper into the Warehouse.

Fu Qian examined a red feather called April Fools' Day and considered its connection to the Idol of Fools and the Warehouse. After leaving the Warehouse, he closed his bookstore and prepared to take Su Gao out to eat.

• Fu Qian found the tiny box containing the red feather and wondered whether it was linked to the Fool's power and the Idol of Fools.
• Fu Qian confirmed that the Warehouse would not let him remove the feather, then transformed into the Idol of Fools without provoking any reaction.
• Fu Qian answered the Warehouse's call to leave and returned to Shangjing as the Bookstore Owner.
• Fu Qian closed the bookstore and invited Su Gao, who had arrived for a new assignment, to dinner.
• Fu Qian offered Su Gao a choice of destinations, then decided they would go somewhere spacious and quiet.

Fu Qian and Su Gao traveled to the Academy of Revelation to investigate the mysterious entity that had attacked him. The chapter left them heading to the incident scene under Fu Qian’s cover identity as a professor.

• Fu Qian asked Su Gao about her recent work and learned the Night Watchers wanted an investigation report within a week.
• Su Gao said the Native Council had kept a low profile, and Fu Qian suggested consulting Nepheli about the suspicious incident.
• Fu Qian noticed Su Gao’s unease about the assignment and told her to rest before they arrived.
• At the academy, Fu Qian instructed Su Gao to call him Professor Fu while they were working, and she accepted his cover identity.
• Fu Qian and Su Gao decided to go directly to the scene and rest afterward in his nearby lab.

Fu Qian and Su Gao entered the academy in their true identities and investigated the ruined Institute of Curses, where Fu Qian explained the Angel Lord’s death and the strange feathers. They followed the destruction underground to a deep pit, where Fu Qian sensed something Su Gao had not noticed.

• Fu Qian and Su Gao arrived at the academy and slipped past its security to reach the damaged Institute of Curses.
• Su Gao identified the damage as coming from inside, and Fu Qian explained that fifty-seven supernatural meteors had struck the Angel Lord before his death.
• Fu Qian told Su Gao that the gray feathers resembled ones he had seen in the Wasteland, where a gigantic mirror was also present.
• Fu Qian and Su Gao crossed the academy’s barrier and followed the feathers and destruction underground.
• At a deep pit covered in feathers, Fu Qian asked Su Gao whether she sensed something, and she admitted she had not.
