Mu Xingrui dismissed public demands for an explanation of the Yunsun City incident while Wang Jianheng continued searching for proof that the mirror was real. After encountering a supernatural casino, Wang Jianheng lost years of his lifespan in two dice games and faced another wager, with the dealer turning over his card after Wang drew the eight of spades.

Zhao Bian'e and Huo Kui discovered that pure gold resisted Zhang Suyuan’s supernatural power, concealed their dead colleague Xiao Li’s notes, and then died in apparent accidents. Mu Xingrui connected the researchers’ deaths to possible supernatural interference while confronting the growing danger of the Lucky Casino, whose promise of rejuvenation tempted powerful people.

• Zhao Bian'e and Huo Kui tested metals against Zhang Suyuan’s Ghost Hand and found that pure gold remained unchanged, matching notes Xiao Li had left behind.
• Zhao Bian'e and Huo Kui deleted Xiao Li’s records and delayed reporting their discovery, but Zhao Bian'e was killed in a changing-room accident the next morning.

• Mu Xingrui reviewed the deaths of researchers studying supernatural powers and suspected that a supernatural force might have caused the accidents.
• Mu Xingrui considered Feng Qian’s extraordinary luck and the Lucky Casino incident, where Wang Jianheng had lost parts of his life while an investigator had won youth, good looks, and height.
• Mu Xingrui worried that influential people would risk entering the Lucky Casino for rejuvenation and suspected that someone might already have gone.

After Meng Hongyu returned from the Lucky Casino fifteen years younger, his transformation drew intense interest from officials and researchers who hoped to understand how the casino worked. Under mounting pressure, Mu Xingrui established a special investigation team to study its entry requirements, gambling mechanisms, costs, and risks.

• Mu Xingrui confronted Meng Hongyu about the victims' losses as senior officials and Professor Qi's team demanded information and examined him.

• Three days later, Mu Xingrui announced that the Investigation Bureau had formed a special team to investigate the Lucky Casino.

• After eight hours of static, Feng Qian reappeared in the laboratory with intact clothes, golden eyes, and an eerie echo in his voice.

The Investigation Bureau struggled to contain the growing interest while weighing the casino’s possible benefits and dangers.

• Feng Qian told Mu Xingrui and the researchers that he had bet ten years of his lifespan on three dice games, won supernatural power, and gained golden eyes that could paralyze ordinary people for about five minutes.
• During his examination, Feng Qian used his new influence to urge an assistant to try the Lucky Casino, while investigators observed his sinister manner and corpse-like physical changes.
• As news spread that two of the three known casino visitors had won, applications to enter the casino poured into Mu Xingrui’s office, and he learned that Feng Qian was discussing the casino with staff.
• Zhu Ci reviewed reports about awakened Native American gods abroad and concluded that the appearance of divine beings in his country could threaten the political system.

Feng Qian’s Golden Eyes and Meng Hongyu’s rejuvenation were revealed as traps planted by Hu Jiu to distract the Investigation Bureau while supernatural forces revived. After Mu Xingrui uncovered evidence that researchers may have been killed to conceal their discoveries, Zhang Suyuan’s corpse reanimated and began killing people as it escaped the laboratory.

• Feng Qian tested his Golden Eyes on a condemned prisoner, while Mu Xingrui worried about the lasting harm the ability caused its targets.

• Feng Qian told Mu Xingrui that Zhang Suyuan had died and that abnormalities had appeared in his corpse.
• Zhang Suyuan’s corpse reanimated, smashed through the isolation-room glass, and killed Xiao Lin and a security guard as Mu Xingrui led the others to flee.

He revealed that the Bureau’s supposed superhumans were actually Ghost Tamers, warned that the Bureau was being misled, and left Mu Xingrui facing a supernatural threat within the organization.

• Zhang Suyuan’s corpse hunted the Bureau staff, broke into their safe room, and pursued Mu Xingrui through the dark corridors.
• A mysterious man intervened just before the Ghost Hand could kill Mu Xingrui, identifying Zhang Suyuan as a revived Fierce Ghost and blasting the corpse away.
• The mysterious man froze Zhang Suyuan’s corpse, removed its Ghost Hand, and sealed it in a golden bag, leaving the corpse to rapidly decay.
• Mu Xingrui questioned the man, who insisted that there were no superhumans, only Ghost Tamers, and said the Investigation Bureau had been deceived.
• The mysterious man warned Mu Xingrui that a supernatural presence was inside the Investigation Bureau and advised him to resolve its internal problems.

Wen Jingyan explained Fierce Ghosts and Ghost Tamers to Mu Xingrui, but a curse prevented Mu from hearing or reading the information, and an unseen attacker severely injured Wen. Wen fled, leaving Mu and the other investigators vulnerable as deaths spread through the Supernatural Investigation Bureau.

• Wen Jingyan told Mu Xingrui that Fierce Ghosts killed according to rules, Ghost Tamers controlled them at a cost, and gold could contain them, but a curse blocked Mu from receiving the information.
• Wen Jingyan sensed that the Investigation Bureau had been infiltrated and tried to dispel Mu Xingrui's curse, but an unseen attacker struck him with instant-death curses and wounded him.

The Investigation Bureau’s Headquarters massacre was blamed on Zhang Suyuan’s reanimated corpse, while evidence planted by Hu Jiu pointed investigators toward Wen Jingyan. The new director, Cheng Linzhou, questioned Feng Qian and the other survivors but learned nothing useful, leaving the shaken staff resentful of his bureaucratic behavior.

• Rescuers and forensic examiners found the Investigation Bureau victims dead from the same supernatural cellular necrosis associated with Zhang Suyuan, whose decomposed corpse was missing its pitch-black arm.
• Investigators found Mu Xingrui’s phone, which contained the name Wen Jingyan and a photograph of him in the Headquarters corridor, and ordered a search for him.
• Hu Jiu revealed that he had cursed the Bureau’s staff, planted the name and photograph to implicate Wen Jingyan, and anticipated the coming supernatural age.
• Cheng Linzhou became the new Investigation Bureau director and suspected Feng Qian might be an inside man because he repeatedly survived supernatural incidents.
• Feng Qian told Cheng Linzhou that he had simply hidden in a restroom during the massacre, while the other survivors also provided no useful information.
• Cheng Linzhou scolded the survivors after questioning them, and they later complained that he was a bureaucratic show-off.
