Background / History

Fatty described himself as someone who traveled around taking miscellaneous jobs, through which he developed practical skills—most notably cooking. During an early Nightmare mission, he prepared a meal that the entire group finished despite the danger surrounding them 8.

He became Jiang Cheng's roommate and most consistent mission partner. Although he often feared the dangers of Nightmare, he found safety in Jiang Cheng's presence and trusted that Jiang Cheng would return for him when things went wrong 75 164. He also routinely handled groceries, cooking, and other domestic work at their studio 164 170.

His connection to Deep Red drew outside suspicion. While held separately at a Xia Family villa, he cooperated with interrogators and provided detailed information about Jiang Cheng. Gong Zhe later entered Fatty's mind through a stone door and discovered that Fatty's Door was connected to Deep Red's No. 10 528 530.

After Huai Yi disappeared, Fatty began a severe self-improvement regimen. He exercised, studied outdoor survival and mystery novels, watched horror films to build courage, and scavenged equipment from a closed boxing gym 989 990. Jiang Cheng's training revealed that Fatty's combat instincts were not newly acquired: his grasp of movement was deeply ingrained, and he could seemingly anticipate attacks 990.

Appearance

Fatty is a large, plump man with a broad, solid build and a large round face. His appearance consistently causes others to underestimate him, especially because his coordination and mobility are extraordinarily disproportionate to his physique 75 169.

• Often has messy or disheveled hair 108.
• Can build up enough momentum while running to resemble a “human tank” 75.
• Possesses startling agility despite his size, including rapid climbing, midair movement, and evasive maneuvers 306 756 1276.

Personality

Fatty is fearful, expressive, and prone to humorous or melodramatic reactions, but he is neither cowardly nor callous. He becomes visibly distressed by cruelty and death, particularly after learning that a little beggar girl was killed while helping his group 328. He gave the girl food intended for himself because she was still growing and had survived on scraps 326.

His compassion repeatedly outweighs self-preservation. He insisted on returning for a girl he believed was trapped in a dissection room, carried Yao Shunyu back toward safety while pursued by a ghost, and rejected Newspaper Man's offer to save only himself because he would not abandon his friends 700 1301 1332.

Fatty is also observant when he focuses. He noticed the unsettling disconnect in Director Li's body language, recognized Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran's concealed motives on the deserted island, and spotted the easily missed “Mirror of the Underworld” text in a newspaper 77 177 1199.

Abilities & Skills

Physical Prowess

Fatty combines exceptional strength with agility that repeatedly catches opponents off guard.

• Forced open a closing bronze door through brute strength 428.
• Completed standard push-ups, a one-handed pull-up, rapid tree climbing, and a controlled jump down without losing his breath after an alleged curse 1276.
• Overpowered a dark-skinned attacker in close-quarters combat 334.
• His raw charge can still be stopped by stronger opponents; a female security guard repelled him hard enough to make him cough blood 75.

Agility & Evasion

His speed and body control are among his most distinctive traits.

• His unusual agility was notable enough for Yin Cheng to order a search for a “particularly agile” Fatty 169.
• Twisted through the air and landed on a boat's bow after being pulled into fog 306.
• Escaped a library ghost by climbing above its line of sight onto a bookshelf 756.
• Avoided several of Wu's scabbard strikes, though Wu's speed ultimately left him unable to counterattack 1158.

Martial Arts

Fatty's formal training began after Huai Yi's disappearance, but Jiang Cheng concluded that his aptitude came from forgotten, deeply embedded martial ability.

• Rapidly learned knee, elbow, wrestling, and grappling techniques taught by Jiang Cheng 990.
• Threw Jiang Cheng to the ground during their first practice exchange, then landed a 360-degree aerial spin kick that sent him into a wall 990.
• Countered Jiang Cheng's attack and threw him during a later sparring session 1157.
• Protected Zhou Ze and No. 13 from pursuers, incapacitating one attacker with a knee strike before using a throwing knife as a distraction to escape 1023.

Deduction & Situational Awareness

Fatty is capable of contributing useful observations even among more experienced investigators.

• Recognized that Butler Zhou had left clues too conveniently and understood Jiang Cheng's suspicion that this was a trap 318.
• Identified the “Mirror of the Underworld” clue that connected the group to the large mirror they had used to enter the mission 1199.
• Suggested delaying contact with an hourglass so the team could survey its surroundings before starting a mission 753.
• Correctly inferred that Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran intended to extract more information from a woman on the deserted island 177.

Door and Anomalous Connection

The nature of Fatty's Door is unclear, but it is treated as unusually important and dangerous.

• Gong Zhe's investigation found a Door within Fatty's mind connected to Deep Red's No. 10 530.
• Jiang Cheng believed Fatty possessed the power to resist a Door 428.
• Newspaper Man confirmed that another presence resembling Jiang Cheng existed on Fatty, while Wu had also sensed Jiang Cheng's aura from him 1329.
• His entity behind the Door was the decisive factor in Yao Shunyu and Li Bai's decision to ally with him and Jiang Cheng 1266.

Cooking & Practical Skills

Fatty is an accomplished cook and dependable caretaker outside combat.

• Prepared a fragrant meal for an entire mission group despite the circumstances 8.
• Regularly shops for groceries and cooks meals at the studio he shares with Jiang Cheng 164 170.
• Assembled a salvaged boxing sandbag and its heavy support equipment with practiced ease 990.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Giant umbrella — Carried when he first entered Nightmare, contributing to Jiang Cheng's early suspicions about him 428.
• Boxing sandbag and supports — Salvaged from a defunct boxing gym for his daily training 990.
• Throwing knife — Used while protecting Zhou Ze and No. 13; Fatty theatrically called the throw “Rainstorm Pear Blossom Blade” before retreating 1023.
• Jade pendant — Given to him by Newspaper Man, who also asked Wen Zhao to protect Fatty in the future 1332.

Relationships

• Jiang Cheng — Roommate, closest ally, and combat instructor. Fatty trusts Jiang Cheng deeply, while Jiang Cheng relies on Fatty's loyalty, instincts, and presence in missions 75 164 990 1276.
• Wu — Sparring partner and powerful ally. Wu noticed something abnormal about Fatty and later tested him directly in combat 1157 1158.
• Huai Yi — Friend and fellow Deep Red member. Huai Yi's disappearance motivated Fatty to train harder so he could be useful in future missions 989 990.
• Yao Shunyu — Ally whom Fatty saved by carrying him back through a ghost pursuit; Yao subsequently placed hope in Fatty's ability to change the Nightmare world 1266 1301.
• Li Bai — Alliance partner who considered Fatty's Door entity a major strategic advantage 1266.
• Newspaper Man — Respected Fatty's reliability, offered him a chance to save himself, and gave him a jade pendant after Fatty refused to leave his companions 1332.
• Ye Qiutang — Teammate during the Invincible Corpse incident; she chose to attempt a rescue after Fatty was captured while buying time for her escape 1700.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Huang Manor Mission

During the final confrontation, he demonstrated his strength by overpowering an attacker in close combat 334.

Deep Red and Night Watch Conflict

Yin Bridge Incident

Fatty undertook the dangerous task of walking the Yin Bridge to guide Gao Yanqing's vengeful spirit onward. He survived encounters with the human-skin Heartless Umbrella and an old man who tried to gouge out his eyes, using grave soil to feign blindness 1424 1425 1427.

Invincible Corpse Incident

Fatty and Ye Qiutang discovered the Invincible Corpses in a Buddha hall. After learning that their wounds were their weakness, Fatty stayed behind to lure the corpses into tearing themselves open, but was captured when the plan failed 1700.
