New to the troupe, the Wayfarer was ordered by the Young Master to stage two old plays: Lethal Bond and Zangling Village Travelogue. While setting the stage, he chances upon a string of Spirit Coins and a Wordless Prophecy inside a weathered red-lacquered box. The moment he looks up, the world onstage has changed, and he finds himself trapped in the warped depths of Liangjian Kou. It is said that Liangjian Kou lies at the border of yin and yang, a cursed place where the living and the dead are thrown into disorder. To survive and find his way back to the mortal world, he must decipher the ominous verses that surface within the Wordless Prophecy and see both old plays through to the end. Yet the truth-seeing divine beast and the bizarre figures known as the Eight Unspoken seem to have been waiting within this eerie opera for a very long time…

Added portrait status icons for Explorer’s Pages, Entomologist’s Swarm, Weeping Clown’s Drill Parts, and Disciple’s Intimidation.
Optimized info prompts for Cipher Machines and Exit Gates in Survivor view, allowing players to view sources of decoding speed buffs/debuffs.
Added a match timer display, allowing players to view the ongoing duration of the match in real-time.
Added a “Play Again” button post-match. If solo, it quickly queues the next match for the same faction; if teamed up, it quickly returns the team to the Hall.
Players can now mute teammate messages excluding regular and instant quick messages.
Unique portrait icons have been added for the processes of a Survivor being tied to and dropped from balloons.
Replays for Rank, 5v5, and Quick Match now support progress dragging (on some devices). Players can drag the progress bar to adjust playback.

Cryptic Notes
Added a new in-match mechanic: Narrative Techniques
At the start of each exploration, there is a small chance the story will randomly apply a [Narrative Technique], changing the gameplay experience. When entering the story, all participants will be notified of the active technique through an announcement. The selected Narrative Technique will remain in effect for the entire exploration.
New Narrative Techniques:
Condensed Narrative: Classics take up less space. The notes grow lean, stripped of excess words, leaving room to carry more.
Open Narrative: Survivors consume less stamina while running. The pace softens. No need to hurry. Whether you flee or forge ahead, your steps grow surer.
Tight Narrative: All Anomalies are strengthened. After all Anomalies are defeated, Classics or items may drop at random.
Restricted some Narrative Techniques from appearing at certain difficulty levels.
You can now customize the UI layout for Cryptic Notes mode in Combat Operation Customization.
Slightly reduced trap interaction range.
Adjusted Seal Cabinet submission priority: Arc Light is now prioritized over Jewelry Box.
