Chapter Summaries

• Chunxia took the laundry buckets and ignored Luo Fan's further questions as they arrived home, where her mother-in-law was sorting vegetables.

• Ren Ke told Luo Fan that villagers could leave the village at midnight, and Luo Fan recognized it as the final clue to finding the hidden Rule-Type Weird.

Luo Fan realized that Peach Blossom Village’s reversed day and night let its hidden Weird’s control weaken at midnight, so he planned to expose it by destroying the village buildings. After waiting until midnight, he copied Ai Si’s appearance and used the Path of Flames to set the entire village ablaze.

• Luo Fan deduced that villagers could leave at midnight because the outside sunlight was strongest then and weakened the Weird sealing Peach Blossom Village.
• Luo Fan told Ren Ke he had found a way to locate the hidden Weird, then explained his plan to the Weird Bride, who agreed that destroying the buildings could expose it.

• The villagers, along with Lin Xiaowei, David, and Minako, stared in terror as the Weird Bride stood unharmed in sunlight.
• Luo Fan told Minako that the Weird Bride was his wife, then asked what the villagers were shouting.

Luo Fan offered the Eastern Japan Sequence Users a chance to leave rather than expose the Weird Bride, but some refused and attacked. The Weird Bride killed them instantly by aging them to death, leaving the remaining Sequence Users terrified.

• Minako stayed silent when Luo Fan questioned her, then pleaded that the Eastern Japan Sequence Users had only been frightened by An Xiaoran.
• A little boy offered An Xiaoran a chocolate bar, and she accepted it gratefully.
• Luo Fan told Minako to translate his offer: the Sequence Users could leave unharmed if they went at once.
• Minako warned the group that Luo Fan was China's strongest Sequence User and had slain a ninth-tier Weird, but a stubborn handful accused her of trying to scare them and chose to attack.
• More than twenty Sequence Users advanced with flames, Shikigami, and drawn Tachi, but the Weird Bride immobilized them and aged them to death within moments.
• The surviving Eastern Japan Sequence Users stared at the Weird Bride in terror, and Minako realized she seemed even stronger than Luo Fan.

Luo Fan and the Weird Bride rested with their companions in his spacious uncanny-artifact RV after the survivors fled Peach Blossom Village. The Eastern Japan Sequence Users forgot the Bride and why they had run, but Ren Ke remembered her because his sequence ability restored his memories.

• The Eastern Japan Sequence Users fled after the Weird Bride killed more than twenty of their comrades, and Luo Fan promised Minako he would not attack those who had not provoked him.
• Luo Fan brought out his RV, whose interior was far larger than its exterior, and invited the group inside to rest.
• The fleeing Sequence Users gradually forgot the Weird Bride and could no longer explain why they had run, then continued toward the coast rather than turn back.
• Ren Ke remembered the Weird Bride after his sequence ability reset his memories, and he judged her more terrifying than the Weird behind Peach Blossom Village.

After a lavish hot pot dinner, Luo Fan’s group continued through Eastern Japan on foot while over a hundred survivors fled Weirds toward the coast. Most of the survivors escaped by sea, but Ren Ke was caught by a Rule-Type Weird, which swallowed his soul and discovered an inexplicable memory.

• Luo Fan served a lavish hot pot meal, and Niu Dagang explained to Lin Xiaowei how agriculture and online shopping had improved food supplies in China.
• Luo Fan’s group left the RV and continued toward their destination under the Weird Bride’s guidance because the roads were impassable.

An Xiaoran broke through to LV56 and awakened the Resurrection Technique, which could revive the dead without a price but had strict limits. Luo Fan recognized the skill as a major safeguard for himself and the Hope Convoy.

• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan that she had awakened the Resurrection Technique, which could bring the dead back to life.
• An Xiaoran explained that resurrection removed all negative conditions, but the target had to have been dead for less than an hour and the skill had a twenty-four-hour cooldown.

• Luo Fan wondered when Brother Niu, Brother Zhao, and the others would awaken new rule-type skills from their crystals.

Soul Devourer reported that Die Your Highness had appeared on Eastern Japan Island and seemingly survived sunlight, prompting an uncanny young Weird to order a search for the human he believed had impersonated her.

• The Weird Bride asked whether An Xiaoran could use the skill on Weirds, and Luo Fan suggested finding one to test it.

• The Soul Devourer Weird revealed that Ren Ke’s memories showed the Weird Bride standing unharmed in sunlight, so he demanded to know who she was and where the real Die Your Highness was.

• Niu Dagang suggested that the Weird Bride and Luo Fan could simply charge in and kill Yamato, since they had defeated powerful Weirds before.
• The Weird Bride agreed to tell the convoy about Yamato and explain why she was wary of him.

The Weird Bride explained that Yamato could nullify even rule-sanction abilities and might be a ninth-tier weird, making him a dangerous opponent for Luo Fan.

• Luo Fan asked why the Weird Bride now wanted to seek out and kill Yamato, leaving the others waiting for her answer.

She left the group with the warning that this was a unique case that could not be replicated.
