• Ji Yan used Omniscient Understanding on the wall, found a way out of the Infinite Corridor, and called for the others to follow him.

Space Eerie reported the hunt for the remaining Constellation Totems to the coffin-laying Eerie, which took over the pursuit after ordering the Infinite Corridor withdrawn.

Ji Yan and Luo Xixi escaped the Burning Death Eerie’s attack at the cost of badly damaging the oil-paper umbrella, then went up to the third floor to pry open a particular coffin. The Burning Death Eerie tracked them there, found the umbrella but not the pair, and heard a coffin open behind it.

• Ji Yan used the oil-paper umbrella to shield himself and Luo Xixi from the Burning Death Eerie, but the umbrella absorbed the attack and was severely burned.
