• The base supervisor told Lu Hongyun that satellite searches had found no trace of Liu Lijun, and Lu Xinyue accused Luo Yan of not trying hard enough to find her.

• Lian Hengshan prepared to depart with the Earthly Bear Squad, carrying a syringe of Heavenly Ghost blood in case he needed it to survive.

After surviving a Giant Beast attack, Professor Lu Hongyun and the team followed Liu Lijun’s signal to an amusement park and searched its Haunted House. They found Liu Lijun alive in the Mirror Room.

Lian Hengshan entered the amusement park’s Haunted House with Lu Hongyun and Xiao Zhong to search for Liu Lijun, only to encounter a terrifying scene that seemed to repeat itself. After Liu Lijun’s monstrous attack, he saw a lightning strike and Shaking Ox being killed, then found himself back in the same events.

• Liu Lijun refused to turn around and warned that something would not let her leave, so Lian Hengshan tried to take Lu Xinyue and Lu Hongyun away.

Luo Yan’s squad used blank rounds to alert Zhang Shou Zhuang’s team that they were trapped in an Infinite Corridor, but the Earthly Bear Squad remained caught in a Sensory Loop. Inside the loop, Zhang identified the Haunted House as the turning point and tried changing who entered, but Lian Hengshan’s encounter with Liu Lijun reset the cycle again.

• Luo Yan spotted the amusement park’s distorted space and ordered his squad to fire blank rounds at Zhang Shou Zhuang’s mechs to awaken them to the Infinite Corridor.

• Zhang Shou Zhuang changed the plan and entered the Haunted House with two squad members, leaving Lian Hengshan, Little Bell, and Professor Lu outside.
• Lu Hongyun reported that Liu Lijun had returned, and Lian Hengshan found her with her facial organs rearranged before the cycle reset.
• Luo Yan concluded that the Earthly Bear Squad remained trapped in a Sensory Loop because their mechs had not moved.

Captain Luo Yan and Bai? fought the Overlord Giant Beast Danghu outside the amusement park while reinforcements rushed from Jingfeng Base. Luo Yan’s attack brought Danghu down, and Bai?’s Headless General followed up with powerful slashes.

The Earthly Hero Squad overwhelmed Danghu with their Divine General mecha while the Jingfeng Base director praised their strength. Meanwhile, the Earthly Bear Squad remained trapped in the amusement park’s repeating loop, and Zhang Shou Zhuang told Lian Hengshan’s group to kill Liu Lijun to escape it.

• Bai? and the Headless General suppressed Danghu with a series of skills while Luo Yan destroyed Danghu’s puppet mecha with Yao Yuan.
• Danghu manifested its beast soul and used bone hands, shadow chains, and a mass of demonic whiskers to attack, but the Trickster and the Headless General countered its assaults.
• Yan Bo burned away Danghu’s sea of whiskers and struck it with a giant flaming sword, engulfing Danghu in fire.
• The Jingfeng Base director judged the Earthly Hero Squad powerful enough to handle Danghu without reinforcements and wondered why the Earthly Bear Squad had not escaped the Infinite Corridor.
• After another loop restart, Zhang Shou Zhuang concluded Liu Lijun was the key to breaking the loop and told Lian Hengshan’s group to kill her after finding her in the Haunted House.

Lian Hengshan tried to kill Liu Lijun to break the cycle, but Lu Xinyue intervened and Liu Lijun's power turned the attack against him. Facing death, Lian Hengshan injected himself with the Heavenly Demon's blood, drove Liu Lijun away, and woke to learn the cycle had been broken.

Lian Hengshan and the others escaped the Haunted House, but Liu Lijun abducted Lu Xinyue, and the base refused to mount another rescue. After Lian Hengshan denied remembering how he broke the Infinite Corridor’s cycle, he heard a voice in his mind say the Heavenly Ghost’s blood had worked and that it was there.

• The base supervisor questioned Lian Hengshan about how he escaped the Infinite Corridor, but Lian Hengshan claimed he could not remember injecting himself.
• Lian Hengshan examined himself and wondered whether the Heavenly Ghost’s blood had lost its effect, then heard a voice in his mind say it had worked and that it was there.

At the base cafeteria, Luo Yan celebrated with Zhang Shou Zhuang and the others, but Xiao Zhong found Lian Hengshan mutated and was killed. Luo Yan identified Lian Hengshan as the killer and pursued him into the rain, while Zhang Shou Zhuang wondered whether the mutation was connected to the Infinite Corridor.

• Luo Yan drank Bai?'s toast for her as Zhang Shou Zhuang thanked him for saving the team and sent Xiao Zhong to fetch Lian Hengshan.

• Lian Hengshan threw a driver out of his SUV and escaped toward the Forbidden Zone, while Luo Yan tracked him but stopped at the boundary.

As Luo Yan’s squad prepared to track Lian Hengshan, Chaos approached the base, forcing the Earthly Hero Squad to sortie while the other squads prepared to defend.
