Chapter Summaries

Yang Yong and the Survival Convoy avoided a section of road damaged by a powerful creature, using Blue Demoness to find a detour through a small village. Yang Yong began searching one of the village houses and found evidence of a mutated plant whose essence had been drained.

• Yang Yong discovered that claw marks had nearly severed the road's support pillars, and Blue Demoness warned that the road would collapse under the convoy.
• Cao Xianming calculated the likely casualties and injuries, then asked Yang Yong to have Blue Demoness find a detour.
• Blue Demoness led the convoy off the highway and down a narrow route, where Zheng Xiaofeng and Liu Hong lifted the bus out of a ditch.

• Yang Yong found a withered vine reaching into a house and confirmed it had once been a mutated plant when his flying dagger made it crumble.

• Yang Yong wondered what had killed the mutated vine but dismissed the mystery, and the convoy resumed its journey toward Tuanjie Village.
• As the Demoness Pickup Truck led the convoy deeper into the mountains, thick vines formed a wall across the road, and Yang Yong had to act.

Yang Yong spotted a vine-covered figure following the convoy and learned it was likely a mentally unstable plant-type Sequence Transcendent.

• The Old Tailor Eerie attacked Yang Yong with its bone-like scissors, and Yang Yong trapped them in the Ten-Thousand-Forged Primordial Furnace.

Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Liu Hong were swallowed by the darkness behind Warehouse Twelve’s door, while Cao Xianming and Qi Peiliang realized Tuanjie Village concealed a terrifying force. Cao Xianming searched for a way to save them as Zheng Xiaofeng, Xiao Xuan, and the survivors discovered Yang Yong’s Bone Daggers could injure Eerie.

• Yang Yong found himself at the entrance to Warehouse No. 12 amid a busy warehouse scene that he suspected was an illusion, but he could not use his Curios or Sequence ability.

Yang Yong found himself in a past-era version of Tuanjie Village and realized the Qipao Woman, once an Eerie, appeared to be living there as a human. After discovering he could not leave the village, he broke into an empty house to spend the night.

• Yang Yong wandered until dark, broke into an unlit house near the guesthouse area, and spent the night there.

Yang Yong discovered that Tuanjie Village reset every seven days and that the Song Family Eldest Miss was the only person whose actions did not repeat, while Wang Ying tested the illusion by attacking its inhabitants. The three remained trapped in separate versions of the village, with Yang Yong planning how to reach the Song residence and Wang Ying confirming that the people around her were unreal.

• Yang Yong searched Tuanjie Village for clues, encountered the middle-aged tailor Eerie, and then found the Eerie General, who could not explain what was happening to Wang Ying.

• Through the ghost’s vision, Yang Yong saw black-blooded threads connecting the group to a giant figure atop Bone Mountain, while ghost infants gnawed at their vitality.
• Yang Yong grabbed Wang Ying and fled with Liu Hong, then shouted for the Minute-Chasing Convoy to run as the ghost infants’ chewing drew closer.
