Chapter Summaries

The fifteen players gathered to discuss the Werewolf game’s rules and how to identify the Werewolves before the first vote. Baseball Cap and the petite woman suspected the bald man, who accused Baseball Cap of steering the group against him.

• The players gathered in the front hall, and Baseball Cap proposed reviewing the rules before the vote, but the bald man argued that everyone already understood them.
• Zhao Xun suggested asking the group directly, and everyone confirmed they remembered the rules; the bald man then insulted players who could not remember them.
• Baseball Cap explained that special-role players should hide their identities, while Pockface proposed avoiding votes and kills until the time limit; the others pointed out the costs and rules that made his plan unworkable.
• Baseball Cap began the statements by claiming to be on the good side and naming the bald man as a Werewolf suspect, then the petite woman echoed his suspicion.
• The bald man accused Baseball Cap of prompting the group to vote against him after the petite woman repeated Baseball Cap’s reasoning.

Zhao Xun calmed a confrontation among the players by warning that violence outside the Werewolf game's procedures could break a hidden rule. The group explored the inn, found food and supplies, and began sharing suspicions before the first vote, with the bald man drawing the most accusations.

• The bald man accused the man in the baseball cap of manipulating the group, while the yellow-haired woman and the fat man refused to support him.
• Zhao Xun suggested exploring the inn and warned the bald man that attacking other players could violate a hidden rule; the man in the baseball cap and the yellow-haired woman agreed.
• The players searched the inn, found food, drinks, and fruit in the kitchen, and examined their identical rooms upstairs.
• The group returned to the lobby, where the yellow-haired woman said she could not put her water in her Storage Slot.
• The players began taking turns speaking and mostly declared themselves members of the good faction while suspecting the bald man.
• The bald man angrily accused the group of following the man in the baseball cap, and the man in the baseball cap said the bald man's insults made him more suspicious.

The players voted Bald Uncle out, and Baseball Cap’s fireballs failed to harm his metal body. After Dwarf Man’s weak lightning briefly disrupted him, Zhao Xun struck Bald Uncle with powerful lightning and killed him, leaving the others staring at Zhao Xun.

• Bald Uncle challenged the group to vote him out, but Baseball Cap persuaded the players to proceed and volunteered to attack him first.
• At six o’clock, the players voted Bald Uncle out and entered the battle situation, where Baseball Cap attacked him with fireballs.
• Bald Uncle revealed that his special ability turned his body into metal, shrugging off Baseball Cap’s flames and forcing Baseball Cap to dodge his punches.
• Dwarf Man struck Bald Uncle with lightning, disrupting his movements but exhausting himself without killing him.
• Zhao Xun hit Bald Uncle twice with powerful lightning, ended his metal transformation, and killed him as the other players watched.

After Bald Uncle died, Zhao Xun discussed the Werewolf game’s next moves with the other players, then learned that Cupid had chosen him as her lover, binding their lives together. He instructed Cupid to stay unnoticed and help the Werewolves, then went back to sleep before the night’s next phase.

• Zhao Xun killed Bald Uncle with concentrated lightning, and the players returned to the inn while Bald Uncle's corpse remained behind.
• The man in the baseball cap urged the players to reveal special roles and have the Guard protect the Gravedigger, then asked the Guard to protect him that night.
• Zhao Xun summoned the orangutan, gave it three promised bananas, and fell asleep before the special-role phase began.
• Cupid privately contacted Zhao Xun and revealed that she had chosen him, making them lovers despite her being a good-faction player and him a Werewolf.
• Zhao Xun told Cupid to stay quiet, follow the group’s votes, and avoid drawing suspicion, then set an alarm for midnight and went back to sleep.

Zhao Xun joined the Werewolves’ midnight meeting and argued that the pockmarked man was likely the Gravedigger. He killed the pockmarked man, confirming the good faction would lose a special-role player before the next day.

• Zhao Xun discovered that Blonde Woman, Fat Man, the woman in red, and the man in black were his fellow Werewolves.
• Zhao Xun reasoned that Dwarf Man and the pockmarked man probably had special roles, and the Werewolves agreed to target the pockmarked man that night and Dwarf Man in the next vote.
• Zhao Xun volunteered to kill the pockmarked man, and the Werewolves discussed how to identify Cupid’s lovers and justify voting against Dwarf Man.
• Zhao Xun entered the pockmarked man’s room and used his questions and the man’s reactions to confirm his suspicion that he was the Gravedigger.
• Zhao Xun’s hypnosis failed to make the pockmarked man reveal his role, so Zhao Xun struck him with lightning and killed him.

Zhao Xun’s werewolf team planned to impersonate the Gravedigger and manipulate the vote, while Zhao Xun worked to weaken the good team’s trust in Baseball Cap. At the afternoon meeting, Zhao Xun accused Dwarf Man of being a werewolf, and the chapter ended with him arguing that Dwarf Man had faked his use of [Lightning Control].

• Zhao Xun told the werewolves that the Gravedigger had confessed, and they chose Blonde Woman to impersonate the role while planning to kill Baseball Cap the following night.
• Baseball Cap reported that Pockmarked Man had died and reasoned that the werewolves had mistakenly targeted him because of his questions about special roles.
• Blonde Woman claimed to be the Gravedigger and announced that Bald Uncle had been a werewolf, while Tall, Thin Man questioned her claim and Baseball Cap withheld his reasons for trusting her.
• Zhao Xun privately encouraged Baseball Cap to suspect Tall, Thin Man, pleased that the good team’s trust in Baseball Cap was faltering.
• At the afternoon meeting, Zhao Xun accused Dwarf Man of being a werewolf and claimed Dwarf Man had not used his full strength against Bald Uncle with [Lightning Control].

Zhao Xun’s accusation against Dwarf Man deepened the players’ suspicions, until Baseball Cap claimed to be the Seer and said Fat Man was a Werewolf. Baseball Cap also vouched for Dwarf Man using a special item, but Fat Man challenged the convenient timing of both claims as the vote approached.

• Dwarf Man defended his weak lightning ability by suggesting that players could use the same special ability with different results, but Fat Man and Zhao Xun argued that the gap was too large to be credible.
• Baseball Cap defended Dwarf Man, prompting Tall Skinny Man and Long-Haired Man to question his motives, while Fat Man accused him and Dwarf Man of being Werewolves working together.
• Baseball Cap revealed that he was the Seer and claimed he had checked Fat Man the previous night, identifying him as a Werewolf.
• Baseball Cap explained that he had checked experienced players and reasoned that Blonde Woman was good because he believed the four experienced players were split between the factions.
• Baseball Cap said his special item had confirmed Dwarf Man as an ally, easing the players’ suspicions, but Fat Man challenged the coincidence behind Baseball Cap’s claims.

Baseball Cap and Fat Man both claimed to be the Seer and argued over whether the dwarf was a Werewolf. Blonde Woman proposed postponing judgment between them, and Zhao Xun suggested voting for the dwarf, leaving the players to decide amid growing confusion.

• Baseball Cap defended his special item's secrecy and argued that his inspection proved Fat Man was a Werewolf and the dwarf was good.
• Fat Man claimed to be the real Seer and argued that Baseball Cap's choices and dark circles exposed him as a Werewolf.
• Baseball Cap explained why he had revealed himself early, but Fat Man's accusations made several players doubt him.
• Blonde Woman suggested that the players vote for neither claimant and use the next day's events to judge which one was the real Seer.
• After the haggard woman asked whom they should vote for, Zhao Xun recommended the dwarf, who angrily protested that Baseball Cap had defended him.

Zhao Xun helped turn the vote against Dwarf Man, who revealed himself as the Hunter and shot Fat Man before Zhao Xun killed him. Baseball Cap confirmed he was the Seer and gave the players instructions for protecting the Gravedigger and finding his final check before leaving to face the Werewolves’ likely attack.

• Zhao Xun persuaded the players that voting for an unproven suspect was riskier than choosing someone already under suspicion, and ten players voted for Dwarf Man.
• Dwarf Man revealed he was the Hunter and used his skill to shoot Fat Man, whose death triggered the battle situation.
• Dwarf Man challenged Zhao Xun, but Zhao Xun killed him with a powerful bolt of lightning before he could attack.
• Baseball Cap said the Werewolves would kill him that night and instructed the Guard to protect the Gravedigger the following night.
• Baseball Cap told the Gravedigger to check Fat Man and asked the players to search his room for the result of his final Seer check.
• Baseball Cap left the front hall and went upstairs without eating dinner.

Zhao Xun coordinated with Cupid and the other Werewolves after the vote, planning to eliminate the Seer and target Tall Skinny Man the next day. He entered Baseball Cap’s room to kill him, where Baseball Cap realized Zhao Xun was a Werewolf.

• Zhao Xun told Cupid that Fat Man was a Werewolf, Baseball Cap was the Seer, and Cupid should keep a low profile and follow his lead.
• Zhao Xun met Red-Clothed Woman, Black-Clothed Man, and Blonde Woman in the front hall, where they discussed Fat Man’s death and their chances of winning.
• The Werewolves considered voting out Tall Skinny Man, whom Blonde Woman suspected was the Guard, but struggled to find a convincing reason to target him.
• Zhao Xun described a risky plan for the next day, and Blonde Woman agreed to work out how to carry it off.
• Zhao Xun and the other Werewolves went to Baseball Cap’s room, where Baseball Cap recognized Zhao Xun as a Werewolf before Zhao Xun told him he had failed to realize something else.

Zhao Xun killed Baseball Cap after using hypnosis to learn where he had hidden his inspection result, then erased the clue identifying the Red-Clothed Woman as a Werewolf. The next morning, the players searched Baseball Cap’s room for his information, and the Blonde Woman announced that she had found it.

• Zhao Xun hypnotized Baseball Cap into revealing that his inspection result was hidden under the bed, then killed him.
• Zhao Xun found and erased Baseball Cap’s carved result, which identified the Red-Clothed Woman as a Werewolf, and reassured the other Werewolves.
• Zhao Xun and the other Werewolves discussed finding the possible lovers before their planned victory and agreed to question players the next day.
• The next morning, the Long-Haired Man argued to search Baseball Cap’s room before everyone arrived, but Tall Skinny Man and the woman in the black knitted hat stopped him.
• The ten remaining players split into groups and searched Baseball Cap’s room for half an hour without finding anything.
• The Blonde Woman suddenly announced that she had found the hidden information.

The players found a message in Baseball Cap’s room identifying the Tall Skinny Man as a Werewolf, and a second search found no evidence that it was fake. After spending the day reviewing events, the Tall Skinny Man accused Zhao Xun of manipulating the group and planting the message as the voting phase began.

• The Blonde Woman revealed the words carved into a bedside drawer, which identified the Tall Skinny Man as a Werewolf.
• The Tall Skinny Man argued that Baseball Cap would not have checked him, while Zhao Xun persuaded the players to search the room again for other messages or damage.
• The players found no other writing or signs of tampering, and the Tall Skinny Man spent the day alone trying to find evidence that the Werewolves had framed him.
• Zhao Xun concluded that the players would likely vote out the Tall Skinny Man, though the Man with a Severed Finger and the Petite Woman had remained silent.
• The players began the voting phase early, and the Tall Skinny Man accused Zhao Xun of framing the Dwarf Man and planting the drawer message to implicate him.

Zhao Xun dismantled the Tall Skinny Man’s accusations and convinced the players to vote him into a battle situation. Before killing him, Zhao Xun secretly learned that his role was Guard, and the Blonde Woman then began discussing who might be the Lovers.

• Zhao Xun argued that Baseball Cap’s drawer message had not been altered and that it identified the Tall Skinny Man as a werewolf.
• Zhao Xun used Knitted Hat’s and the Long-Haired Man’s testimony, along with a test showing that serious room damage vanished, to reinforce his case against the Tall Skinny Man.
• The players voted for the Tall Skinny Man, triggering a battle situation, and he accused Zhao Xun of being a werewolf and manipulating everyone.
• Zhao Xun immobilized the Tall Skinny Man with his Psychic Ability and secretly learned that his role was Guard.
• Zhao Xun killed the Tall Skinny Man with Lightning, and the Blonde Woman began a discussion about identifying the Lovers.

The players debated how to identify the Lovers, but the Blonde Woman could not reveal that the Werewolves were close to winning. After the night phase began, Zhao Xun told her that the Tall Skinny Man had claimed to be the Guard and invented a special item to explain how he had learned it.

• The Blonde Woman urged the players to find the Lovers, while Zhao Xun supported the search to avoid drawing suspicion.
• The Knitted Hat suggested Cupid could communicate with the Lovers during the special-role phase, and the Blonde Woman suspected the Long-Haired Man after he proposed ending the discussion.
• The Man with a Severed Finger argued there was no immediate danger, so the Blonde Woman softened her stance and dismissed everyone when nobody identified a possible pair.
• Zhao Xun returned to his room, fed the Orangutan a final banana, then exchanged messages with Cupid, who believed the Werewolves were about to win.
• At midnight, Zhao Xun told the Blonde Woman that the Tall Skinny Man had said he was the Guard and claimed a truth-forcing special item had prevented him from lying.

Zhao Xun helped the Werewolves choose the Man with a Severed Finger, but the kill revealed that he and the petite woman were the True Love Faction’s Lovers and had won the game. Back aboard the Endless Train, Zhao Xun rested before entering a new dream game, where he found himself in a cold, dark cave.

• Zhao Xun persuaded the Werewolves to focus on quiet players, and they selected the Man with a Severed Finger as their target.
• Zhao Xun hypnotized and killed the Man with a Severed Finger, triggering the True Love Faction’s victory and the erasure of the surviving Werewolves.
• Zhao Xun received 300 points and 300 hours of survival time, then returned to the Endless Train with the petite woman, who realized he was a Veteran Player.
• Zhao Xun told Su Tiantian that the next Platform Game would likely not happen until December, and she declined to join him.
• Zhao Xun rested, prepared supplies, and entered a dream game, arriving in a chilly cave.

Zhao Xun completed the main quest by finding a stream, then drew out the Frog Prince and accepted a side quest to gather three items for a sunrise ritual. After learning the items’ locations and that animals guarded them, Zhao Xun picked up the Frog Prince and asked how he had become a frog.

• Zhao Xun followed the Pygmy Marmoset through the cave’s forks and found a clear stream in a grassy clearing, completing the main quest and earning 30 points and 30 hours of survival time.
• After noticing that no animals or insects made a sound, Zhao Xun struck the stream with Lightning until a voice told him to stop.
• Zhao Xun found a small green frog at his feet and received the side quest to help the Frog Prince regain his original form.
• The Frog Prince explained that Zhao Xun had to bring him wintersweet-blossom dew, ten live fireflies, and a luminous stone, then help him perform a ritual at sunrise.
• The Frog Prince pointed out where to find the three items, warned that animals guarded them, and gave Zhao Xun two glass bottles.
• Zhao Xun picked up the Frog Prince with a towel and asked how he had become a frog.

Zhao Xun learned that the Frog Prince was sealed within the Frog Stone barrier and discovered that a glass bottle granted him Nullification, which he added to his abilities. After finding the Glowstone, he approached the macaques’ territory to catch fireflies and question them about the Frog Prince, ending with his hypnosis working on their leader.

• Zhao Xun questioned the Frog Prince about his movement limits and the altar, but his hypnosis had no effect on him.
• Zhao Xun summoned his ten primates to search the stream, left the Frog Stone barrier, and realized the cave was likely within the Frog Prince’s range.
• Zhao Xun drank from a glass bottle and gained Nullification, overwriting Absolute Good Luck; the ability explained why his hypnosis had failed against the Frog Prince.
• Baboon found a glowing stone that Zhao Xun identified as the needed Glowstone, and Zhao Xun led the primates toward the woods to catch fireflies.
• The macaque leader barred Zhao Xun from entering its territory, so Zhao asked why the Frog Prince had been sealed and hypnotized the leader when it refused to answer.

Zhao Xun questioned the macaques, hypnotized them into letting him catch ten fireflies, then controlled the crows to guide him to the altar. He found a carved stone slab and asked the crow whether it could read the writing.

• Zhao Xun learned from the macaque leader that the macaques guarded the fireflies and that the altar was in the cave, though the leader knew little else.
• Zhao Xun hypnotized the macaque leader and several resistant macaques, then had his companions catch ten fireflies alive.
• Zhao Xun placed the fireflies in a ventilated glass jar and flew toward the wintersweet trees, where a flock of crows blocked his way.
• Zhao Xun hypnotized the crows, ordered most of them to keep guarding the wintersweet trees, and followed the largest crow to the cave altar.
• Zhao Xun found a stone slab carved with unfamiliar writing and asked the crow whether it understood the words.

Zhao Xun learned from the Macaque Boss that the Frog Prince was a dangerous fire mage sealed away after slaughtering mage families, and he received a hidden mission to kill him. While searching the altar chamber for clues, Zhao Xun uncovered a sealed scroll, but the Macaque Boss suffered when it tried to remove the scroll’s seal.

• Zhao Xun brought the Macaque Boss to the altar, where it read the stone slab’s account of the Frog Prince and the seal that could be broken by a Sacrificial Ritual.
• Zhao Xun decided to kill the Frog Prince as soon as the seal broke and received the hidden mission to do so.
• The Macaque Boss told Zhao Xun that its ancestors had seen the Frog Prince burn most of the valley with Fire Magic.
• After finding no other clues, Zhao Xun watched the Macaque Boss press a leaf motif on the slab, opening a hidden compartment containing a scroll marked with a Magic Array.
• When the Macaque Boss tried to peel the paper seal from the scroll, it clutched its head in pain.

Zhao Xun removed the sealed scroll despite its mental-power-draining magic array and learned the Frog Prince’s history and weaknesses. After leaving the frog barrier, he returned to the Wintersweet Grove to collect dew and rested while waiting for more to form.

• The Macaque Boss described how touching the scroll’s seal drained its mental power, and Zhao Xun removed the seal himself despite the escalating drain.
• Zhao Xun had Crow eat the ashes, recovered some strength, and asked the Macaque Boss to translate the scroll, which recounted the Frog Prince’s life and formidable magic.
• Zhao Xun deduced that the Frog Prince resisted mental control and considered using water magic or close combat to exploit his weaknesses.
• Zhao Xun burned the scroll, concealed its ashes, closed the stone slab, and left the frog barrier with Crow after sending the Macaque Boss home.
• Zhao Xun collected only half a bottle of Wintersweet Dew by daylight, then summoned Orangutan and Baboon to guard him while he slept in the grove.
