Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 74.1: Before Dawn (13) (Part 1) By the time there were only two hours left before the clock hit 12 o’clock in 1926, Tang Cuo still hadn’t found the gift the butler brought back from the bank. The three returned to the phone. Qi Hui came up with a thought: “After all, the reason why the butler took out the gift in advance was because Yu Wangnian instructed him to do so.” Jin Cheng leaned on the flower rack with his arms folded. Seeing Qi Hui getting closer to ‘being useful’, he said: “Go on.” Qi Hui: “Is Yu Wangnian already foreseeing the tragedy?…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 73: Before Dawn (12) As Tang Cuo was studying the diary, Jin Cheng came over. While keeping himself on guard against the lady’s ghost that might appear any time, he said: “There’s nothing in the piano room, and no key in the bench either.” That meant the young miss’ room key only turned up in 1936. Every dimension of this dungeon was interconnected, and it wouldn’t work with even just one missing link. This was extremely harsh for players. At this point, Tang Cuo finally saw some useful information. [6th June 1924I see blood in the bathroom on the second floor.I ask Father.…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 72: Before Dawn (11) “1916, my parents got married in 1916.” The key that the young miss stuffed through the crack on the door matched the keyhole of the piano room. At this time, there were still eleven minutes left before the clock hit 12 o’clock. Not daring to delay any second, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng rushed to the second floor, paying no mind to the young miss’ reaction after receiving the letter. Qi Hui couldn’t keep up with their speed and had to stay in the living room, waiting for the piano to sound at midnight and cross with them to…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 71: Before Dawn (10) There were five pages that could still be read from Yu Wangnian’s diary, which recorded events at different time periods. It was just that a few drops of blood had stained these five pages, blocking some parts of the information.      [** October 191*I’ve never seen a girl who looks so much like a lilac flower. She must have taken my mind away, otherwise, how could I be this sleepless?      10th October 19**We’ve tied the knot. The joy of today was overwhelming. 6th February 1920My 2-year-old baby will soon learn to say “Daddy”.I’ve prepared the best gift for her and…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 70: Before Dawn (9)  “Miss! Miss Yu, look over here! There are still people inside!” Qi Hui screamed anxiously and began to bang on the window. But no matter how he yelled, the girl in the red dress never looked back at him. Qi Hui yelled until his throat became all dry and his hands became sore, then he turned around to see that ― Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng were gone. In a blink, all his hairs stood on their ends. Qi Hui hurriedly went to find them and shouted their names. Just when he thought he had been left behind, Tang…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 69: Before Dawn (8) Watching two ghosts sit down and play chess together was a really strange thing, especially in a cobweb-covered and dusty attic that had been abandoned for many years.  A new corpse was lying on the bed in the attic. How new was it? Tang Cuo ignored the two ghosts’ gazes and walked over to touch the corpse. It was still warm. He couldn’t help looking at the man sitting across from Yu Wangyue. Undoubtedly, this was the one lying on the bed and also the person who was locked up here ten years ago. Ten years after the mansion…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 68: Before Dawn (7) T/N: The Character Guide has been updated with 6 new characters ^^. To Tang Cuo, Rong Yi’s threat was like a mosquito bite. He felt a bit itchy and had the urge to just swat it. But, the meaning hidden in Rong Yi’s words caught his attention. He looked directly into Rong Yi’s eyes and said: “You mentioned the other two dimensions. So apart from the one you came from, there’s another one?” Jin Cheng also noticed that. If what Rong Yi said was true, the six players were divided into five separate dimensions. Except for Tang Cuo and…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 67: Before Dawn (6) T/N: For easier differentiation between the young maid and the middle-aged maid, I’ll start referring to ‘the young maid’ as ‘the young servant’ starting this chapter. At the end of the call, Tang Cuo asked Qi Hui to tell Zhou Dahai to find a way to explore the attic.  From the fact that this Zhou Dahai was trapped in a mere basement for so long and was scared to death by such a non-aggressive ghost like Yu Wangyue, it could be seen that he wasn’t very reliable. “Let’s sort out the character relationships and timeline first.” Pulling out the…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 66: Before Dawn (5) Tang Cuo remembered Jin Cheng once mentioned that he had many enemies. Once they learnt that he was punished back to Zone F and that he needed to go through the missions once again, most of them would want to cause trouble for him in the dungeons. As such, he recruited Chi Yan as a ‘temporary staff’ of the team to help them get through the trouble. For now, it couldn’t be concluded that there were enemies in this dungeon, but in a mission of such a high difficulty, having idiotic teammates posed more dangers than ever. But was…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 65: Before Dawn (4) The sudden third person had both Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng stunned. The shocking cry for help penetrated through the phone and even Qi Hui could hear it. “Zhou Dahai!” Both surprised and delighted at the same time, Qi Hui rushed to the phone, looking as though he just wanted to jump into the handset. “Qi Hui? Is it you? Qi Hui! Help me, there’s a ghost over here!” Qi Hui and his teammate shouted at each other through the phone with equally desperate voices. Attacked by double noises, Tang Cuo’s eardrums felt like they almost burst. Jin Cheng…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 64: Before Dawn (3) “What did you find?” “Yu Wangnian poisoned his wife.” It was Jin Cheng who called and his voice sounded a little distorted on the phone. He was panting slightly, showing that it was quite a fierce fight just now. “I can responsibly tell you that Yu Wangnian is the master of the mansion.” he said. Tang Cuo asked: “How is your place?” Jin Cheng: “The ghost can’t be killed, maybe it needs to be exorcised, but my Requiem doesn’t work here. The second floor is all black, and I can’t see anything or any ghosts at all. Probably there’s…

Table of Contents | Character Guide Chapter 63: Before Dawn (2) Tang Cuo traded a chocolate bean for a xiao di, so this deal was definitely not a loss.  As for why the Character panel didn’t show any ‘Poisoned’ status after swallowing the pill, the big boss said that it was ‘delayed onset poison’. What’s there to argue? “Where did you get the key to open the door?” “Downstairs, in the butler’s room.”  The xiao di was called Qi Hui. He landed in the butler’s room when he entered the dungeon and successfully got the key on the hook behind the door. The key was hung inside a steel wire…
