• The old man woke, stood up, and shouted that everyone would die and the world would be destroyed.

As the players introduced themselves before the Werewolf game, a crazed old man pointed at Lin Jie and accused him of causing the world's destruction. Lin Jie recognized Zhu Lun's touching account as a calculated lie, judged Xia Qu sincere, and the next player's introduction revealed that the explosion had destroyed his home.

• The old man called Lin Jie the sinner who had destroyed the world, but Player 4 knocked him unconscious so God could continue the game.
• Player 4, Chen Li, introduced himself as a taxi driver who had died in a crash and asked God for a werewolf role.
• Player 5, Zhu Lun, described his leukemia and claimed he did not want to win, but Lin Jie saw his story as a ploy to gain the players' trust.

• The next player began speaking about the explosion and revealed that it had blown up his home.

Zhou Lan and Liu Yunyun described how they died in the explosion tied to the thief LJ, while Lin Jie tried to influence God’s role assignment with his introduction. He revealed that he was LJ, the key figure behind the deaths of the other players.

• Zhou Lan said LJ broke into his vault, set off a bomb when the police arrived, and killed him, then offered five million to whoever helped him win.
• Liu Yunyun said she found the vault open, was struck unconscious by cash thrown by the intruder, and later realized she might have died from Lin Jie’s blow.

Lin Jie recounted how he used a phantom-thief trick to escape Zhou Lan and Zheng Yi, only to be shot by a rookie, then joined a Werewolf game after death. When he finally checked his role card, he found it completely blank.

• Lin Jie revealed that Zhou Lan and police chief Zheng Yi had colluded in wrongdoing and said he planned to expose their crimes after the game.
• Lin Jie explained that he had infiltrated Zhou Lan's vault, confronted Zhou Lan and Zheng Yi, and escaped by replacing himself with a bomb before appearing more than a dozen li away.
• Lin Jie said a hotheaded rookie had shot him, and he vowed to return and take revenge if he survived the game.
• God assigned the nine players their Werewolf roles, and Lin Jie watched their reactions, suspecting Xia Qu had a werewolf or power role.
• Lin Jie turned over his own role card and discovered that it was completely blank.

Lin Jie entered the Werewolf game with a blank role card and listened through the first night as the players acted in darkness. At dawn, player number three was found dead despite Lin Jie’s belief that the witch had used her antidote, and Xia Qu’s expression left him stunned.

• Lin Jie concealed his blank role card as God began the game and warned the players not to reveal their roles or open their eyes at the wrong time.
• As God called each role to act, Lin Jie listened for sounds and heard a stool shift during the witch’s saving phase, leading him to suspect Xia Qu was the witch.
• God announced that player number three had died, and the players saw that the crazy old man had been disemboweled.
• God revealed player number three’s role as Villager, while Lin Jie realized the first night had not been peaceful as he had expected.
• Lin Jie looked at Xia Qu for clues and was shocked by the impossible expression on her face.

After the crazy old man's death, Lin Jie used the guard's ability to argue that the seer was the safest role, hoping to persuade the hidden seer to reveal themselves. Someone finally claimed to be the seer, and Lin Jie waited to see what she would do.

• Xia Qu reacted to the crazy old man's corpse with confusion that Lin Jie found impossible to explain.
• Director Zheng urged the group to speak and called on the seer to lead, but no one responded.
• Lin Jie realized the seer could check whether his blank role belonged to the good faction or the werewolves.
• Lin Jie argued that the guard would protect the seer, making the seer the safest role on the good side.
• After Lin Jie counted down, someone suddenly declared that she was the seer, and Lin Jie sat back to watch her.

Li Xin claimed to be the Seer and gave a detailed account of checking Chen Li, but Lin Jie found a flaw in her story. The chapter ended with Lin Jie pointing out that she should have known Chen Li's player number during the night.

• Li Xin revealed that she was the Seer and said she had checked Chen Li, finding him good.
• Zheng Yi questioned whether Li Xin was really the Seer, and Lin Jie asked her to explain her choice and nighttime actions.
• Li Xin said she had checked Chen Li because he had asked to be a werewolf, then described the Seer's nighttime instructions and God's thumbs-up signal.
• After hearing Li Xin's account, Lin Jie asked her Chen Li's player number; Li Xin counted the seats and answered that Chen Li was Number 4.
• Lin Jie said Li Xin should have figured out Chen Li's number during her nighttime check, leaving her nervous as the others began to understand his accusation.

Lin Jie exposed Li Xin as a fake Seer, but the real Seer, Zhu Lun, claimed that Lin Jie and Li Xin had staged the accusation together. Zhu Lun revealed that he had checked Lin Jie and found him to be a Werewolf.

• Lin Jie showed that Li Xin could not have checked Chen Li as she claimed, and God confirmed that Seers could communicate only by signaling numbers.
• Li Xin insisted she was the Seer, but the group concluded she was a Werewolf and prepared to vote her out.
• Lin Jie identified the silent Zhu Lun as the likely real Seer, and Zhu Lun confirmed his role.
• Zhu Lun accused Lin Jie and Li Xin of conspiring to make Lin Jie look like a good player by exposing Li Xin.
• Zhu Lun revealed that he had checked Lin Jie the previous night and found him to be a Werewolf.

Lin Jie challenged Zhu Lun’s claim that he was the seer and had checked Lin Jie as a werewolf, arguing that Li Xin would not sacrifice herself in a deadly game. Zhu Lun explained his seer check in detail, but Lin Jie noticed a fatal flaw in his account.

• Zhu Lun accused Lin Jie of being a werewolf who had sacrificed Li Xin to gain the good players’ trust.
• Lin Jie questioned why Li Xin would willingly risk her life for teammates and pointed to her distressed state as evidence against Zhu Lun’s theory.
• Xia Qu suggested that Zhu Lun explain why and how he had checked Lin Jie, and Director Zheng asked him to do so.
• Zhu Lun claimed he had checked Lin Jie because LJ was his idol, then described signaling player nine and receiving a thumbs-down from God.
• Lin Jie listened to Zhu Lun’s account and recognized a fatal flaw in it.

Lin Jie exposed Zhu Lun as a werewolf by showing that he had confused the game’s wolf-claw signal with the familiar thumbs-down from classic Werewolf rules. With Li Xin and Zhu Lun identified as wolves, Lin Jie offered to spare whichever one revealed their third teammate first.

• Lin Jie asked Zhu Lun to describe God’s signal, then had God demonstrate that the werewolf signal was a wolf claw, not a thumbs-down.
• Zhu Lun realized his mistake, admitted defeat, and acknowledged that his past Werewolf experience had misled him.
• Director Zheng and the others concluded that Li Xin and Zhu Lun were both wolves and began discussing whom to execute first.
• Lin Jie suspected that a third wolf was hiding among the players and decided to question the exposed wolves for the identity.
• Lin Jie offered to spare Li Xin or Zhu Lun from execution that day if one of them named the third werewolf first.

Lin Jie’s attempt to turn the werewolves against one another failed when Li Xin refused to confess and Zhu Lun claimed he was a villager who had faked being the seer because his intuition told him Lin Jie was a wolf. The group voted to execute Zhu Lun and poison Li Xin, but Lin Jie trusted Zhu Lun’s story and withheld his vote as God began the execution.

• Lin Jie watched Li Xin deny being a werewolf and insist that she was the seer.
• Zhu Lun admitted he had pretended to be the seer, explaining that his intuition convinced him Li Xin was good and Lin Jie was a wolf.
• Director Zheng dismissed Zhu Lun’s explanation, asked the group to execute him, and instructed the witch to poison Li Xin.
• The others voted for Zhu Lun as he begged them to believe him and repeatedly struck his forehead against the floor.
• Lin Jie’s intuition told him Zhu Lun was telling the truth, so he did not raise his hand before God announced the execution.

Zhu Lun was executed after the players voted for him, and Lin Jie realized that losing the ring meant death. During the next night, Lin Jie concluded that Li Xin was likely a good player pretending to be the seer and suspected that his own blank role card concealed the real seer role; when he turned it over, it read “Seer.”

• God executed Zhu Lun by tearing off his ring and finger, after which Zhu Lun's body burst open.
• God declared that night had fallen, and Lin Jie memorized Li Xin's posture as she closed her eyes.
• Lin Jie recalled Zhu Lun's final words and reasoned that Li Xin could not truly be the seer despite Zhu Lun believing she was a good player.
• Lin Jie concluded that his blank role card might mean he was the seer and decided to check it during the night.
• Lin Jie turned over his role card and saw that it said “Seer.”

Lin Jie inspected Li Xin and confirmed she was good, realizing the good faction was close to defeat. After a deathless night, the group blamed Li Xin and prepared to execute her, but Lin Jie objected.

• Lin Jie used his Seer inspection on Li Xin and learned she was good.
• Lin Jie concluded the good faction was nearly doomed, then heard that nobody had died during the night.
• Director Zheng explained that the Witch had used the antidote and could not also use poison, while Zhou Lan indirectly admitted he was the Witch.
• Zheng Yi proposed executing Li Xin, and the group began voting for her.
• Lin Jie stepped forward and objected to Li Xin's execution.

Lin Jie argued that Li Xin was a selfish villager who had pretended to be the seer, then revealed that he was the real seer and had checked her as good. He used four questions to establish his claim, ending by asking whether anyone else wanted to claim to be the real seer.

• Lin Jie said Li Xin had falsely claimed to be the seer to protect herself, and argued that she should not be executed because she was good.
• Li Xin admitted she had lied to survive, while Lin Jie concluded that the chubby guy executed the previous day had also been good.
• Zheng Yi challenged Lin Jie's explanation, so Lin Jie revealed that he was the real seer and that his check had found Li Xin good.
• Lin Jie said he had not revealed himself earlier because he had checked the crazy old man, whose death and revealed villager role had made the result useless.
• Lin Jie asked four questions about whether there was only one seer, whether the crazy old man or Zhu Lun had been the seer, and whether anyone else wanted to claim the role.

Lin Jie proved to the remaining players that he was the Seer, but the deaths of two good guys left them outnumbered and suspicious of one another. Li Xin warned that their divided votes could let the werewolves control the vote, so the players chose Lin Jie as their leader, who decided they would execute no one that day.

• Lin Jie argued that he was the only Seer, and Zheng Yi accepted his claim.
• Liu Yunyun and the suited man realized that two good guys had died while all three werewolves remained alive.
• Chen Li and Zheng Yi accused each other, and the players began suspecting one another as the argument spread.
• Lin Jie silenced the table so Li Xin could explain how the werewolves might hijack a scattered vote.
• Li Xin suggested choosing a trusted good-guy leader, and the players agreed that Lin Jie should lead them.
• Lin Jie considered the vote and announced that they would execute no one that day.

Lin Jie persuaded everyone to abstain so he could investigate one more person, then realized that God was the only werewolf. During the night, Lin Jie checked God's identity and confirmed his suspicion.

• Lin Jie argued that the good guys could not afford a mistaken execution and asked everyone to abstain for one round.
• Chen Li, Xia Qu, Li Xin, Zhou Lan, Liu Yunyun, Zheng Yi, and Lin Jie all abstained, so no one was executed.
• After night fell, Lin Jie reasoned that there were no werewolves among the players and that God had committed the killings.
• When God asked the seer to choose a target, Lin Jie chose position zero, God's position.
• God revealed a wolf's claw, confirming that he was a werewolf.

Lin Jie survived the night and found Liu Yunyun brutally murdered, then used the game’s overhealing rule to identify Xia Qu as the Witch. He said he could also deduce the Guard’s identity and challenged Chen Li to stop pretending.

• Lin Jie heard God approach him during the night but was unable to speak, and God left without killing him.
• At dawn, God announced that player No. 8, Liu Yunyun, had died, and Lin Jie vowed to avenge the dead.
• Lin Jie reviewed the events of the previous nights and asked God whether the game used the overhealing rule.
• God confirmed that the Witch’s antidote could kill a player already protected by the Guard.
• Lin Jie deduced that Xia Qu was the Witch because she had used the antidote on the crazy old man, who still died, and knew she had not used poison on the second night.
• Lin Jie said he could deduce the Guard’s identity and challenged Chen Li about his act.

Lin Jie revealed Chen Li as the Guard and deduced that the game had only one werewolf, not three. He identified God as the werewolf who had killed the disemboweled victim, and God’s wolf fangs confirmed the accusation.

• Lin Jie used Chen Li’s reactions and behavior to expose him as the Guard, and Chen Li admitted he had protected Lin Jie from the werewolves.
• Chen Li told Lin Jie that the werewolves had targeted him on the second day and the previous night, but Chen Li had protected him both times.
• Lin Jie explained that the three dead players were ordinary villagers, so the game could not still have three werewolves.
• Lin Jie argued that the rules had misled them with the blood-written number “3,” which the werewolf had written to make them believe there were three wolves.
• Lin Jie pointed to God as the werewolf who had killed the disemboweled victim, and God revealed sharp wolf fangs.
