Chapter Summaries

Fu Qian uncovered the Jellyfish Vampire’s tentacled form and questioned it about how to free it and what happened to Wen. He refused its offer of a reward and chose to call the police and the Night Watchers rather than leave without his missing teammate.

• Fu Qian saw that the figure beneath the black robe had jellyfish-like tentacles and learned that removing its red shoes would free it.
• Fu Qian demanded that the reward be shared with Batters and asked where Wen had gone.
• The Jellyfish Vampire claimed Wen’s disappearance had nothing to do with it and offered Fu Qian and Batters a choice about accepting its gift.
• Fu Qian rejected the gift and refused to leave while Wen was missing, even after the Jellyfish Vampire told them to go.
• Fu Qian pushed the coffin fragments back into place and said he would call the police and the Night Watchers.

Fu Qian and Batters learned from the Jellyfish Vampire that Wen had left through a hole in the house, then found footprints leading out. Batters wondered where Wen had gone, and they decided to check his house or his girlfriend Salma’s place.

• Fu Qian pressured the Jellyfish Vampire by counting down and threatening to involve the Night Watchers.
• The Jellyfish Vampire said Wen had left through an open doorway near the stairs, but Batters doubted her account.
• The Jellyfish Vampire covered herself and the coffin in blood and disappeared, causing the temptation affecting Fu Qian and Batters to fade.
• Fu Qian and Batters found a hole in the wall and footprints that suggested Wen had escaped through it.
• Batters wondered why Wen had left and where he had gone, and Fu Qian suggested checking Wen’s house.
• Batters proposed checking Wen’s girlfriend’s place, and he told Fu Qian her name was Salma.

Fu Qian and Batters uncovered a wooden puppet trap, but destroying it brought down the building and ended the scenario. Fu Qian found himself rising in an elevator as a new scenario began, where Eva entered without acknowledging him.

• Fu Qian revealed that Wen might have fled because he sensed danger, then tapped beneath a staircase step with his crowbar.
• A wooden puppet fell from the stairwell, and Batters smashed it and tore down its ropes.
• Fu Qian heard the building begin to collapse and pulled Batters outside before it crumbled into ruins.
• Fu Qian saw the red and blue lights return briefly in the room where the coffin had been, then found himself inside an elevator as the next scenario began.
• The elevator stopped, and Eva entered without looking at Fu Qian, as though he were not there.

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 rode the elevator with Eva, who initially acted as if she could not see him, then returned to the fourth floor to investigate.
• Eva came back upstairs, grabbed Fu Qian, and warned him in writing that she had seen blood coming from a bathroom stall and heard strange footsteps.
• Eva asked why Fu Qian had come to the school, then led him toward the exit without speaking.
• Fu Qian and Eva removed their shoes and carried them as they followed the corridor, but Eva stopped when they found a rusty iron door blocking their way.
• Eva wrote that the door had never been locked before.

Fu Qian followed Eva through the old building as she guided him toward an exit and warned him about routes and rules that could be deadly. After they passed an iron gate, Fu Qian spotted a humanoid shadow moving in the corridor behind them.

• Fu Qian confirmed that the old partition door was locked, and Eva led him to another route.
• Eva warned Fu Qian that anyone who left by an unconventional route, such as climbing out a window, would die.
• Eva guided Fu Qian up a dark staircase and warned him not to count door numbers or match his steps to piano music.
• Fu Qian grabbed Eva at the corner and gestured for her to look back, where a humanoid shadow darted into a room.

Fu Qian and Eva fled through the school corridor as a hostile figure pursued them, only to find another strange presence waiting near the stairs. Fu Qian hid them in a locked storage room, where he spotted someone sitting in the corner.

• Fu Qian saw a humanoid figure watching them, and Eva explained that the corridor had special taboos before urging him to hurry.
• Fu Qian and Eva made their way through the winding corridor and found an open door to a stairwell.
• Footsteps approached from the stairwell, where they saw a dark figure with an extraordinarily large head looking up at them.
• Eva warned that the stairwell offered no way through as Fu Qian pulled her toward a locked storage room.
• Fu Qian unlocked the door and hid with Eva, then pressed her hand over her mouth and pointed out someone sitting in the corner.

Fu Qian and Eva hid in a storage room at Twilight School, where they found Joshua, the party volunteer, dead again. They watched a person with his head wrapped in a jacket pass the door, and Fu Qian expected him to encounter the creature chasing them.

• 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 left Eva behind, deliberately crashed into the railing, and ran upstairs with Joshua’s coat wrapped around his head.
• Fu Qian switched on the stairwell light, discarded the coat and shoe, then slipped into a room on the next floor.
• Fu Qian hid behind the door, and another set of hurried footsteps rang out.

Fu Qian investigated the eerie building and found Salma murdered in a restroom stall, her body covered in blood and her face mutilated after death. As he left the stall, a scream rang out nearby, followed by a heavy impact.

• Fu Qian heard two sets of footsteps moving through the building and calmly entered the stairwell to investigate.
• He climbed to the top floor, following the route Eva had described to the bloody restroom.
• Fu Qian found a blood trail leading into a stall and discovered Salma's mutilated corpse.
• 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 the source of a scream and found the high-nosed assistant from Batters's party. He discovered someone lying below an open window and suspected the person had escaped outside; as the assistant explained he was searching for Joshua, another figure approached.

• 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.
• Eva ran to Fu Qian in her socks and explained that she had found Salma covered in blood after the two had practiced together that afternoon.
• 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.
• Eva revealed that she and Expert Fu had found Joshua’s body in the second-floor storage room, shocking the two assistants.
• 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.
