In a secluded cave, members of the God Descent Society questioned their mistaken sacrifice of Buharin and the identity of the Mole.

• Sentry Chief Liu responded to complaints about Night Owls calling in unison, but sent the residents away rather than drive off Cheng Han's flock.
• Cheng Han revealed that he had used Light Energy Leap and the Fragmented Imprint of Spirit Control to control Night Owls from afar, then demonstrated the skill's Flashbang application.

• The Hunched Figure questioned what the God Descent Society had done, while the taller figure said they could not keep killing without conclusive evidence.

• Cheng Han brought lunch and fruit to the conference room, where his classmates feared him after hearing that he had killed someone, and Wan Tengjiao and Qian Qingqing defended him.
• Cheng Han gave Dang Wen fruit infused with True Flame Power, which he secretly sent along with Soul Origin drawn by the Ghost Eye.

• Gu Jinglong told Cheng Han he had to join the patrols, and Cheng Han inferred that the Patrol Department wanted the schools to compete for recognition.

• Cheng Han explained that he would select patrol candidates based on focus, mental power, and the mission’s lack of combat duties, then named five students including Xiong Yuan and Kang Ziyan.

• Cheng Han recalled that Liu Yi worked at his family's Ant Room near Tong Shen Freight and planned to use him to control Downy Ants as spies against the Heretical God Believers.

Cheng Han learned that Sheriff had led a group of cats to ambush and kill a Sable Marten, then used his supernatural skills to investigate a suspected Heretical God Believer at Tongshen Freight Company. A Gray Toe Rat was killed by something in the warehouse, confirming Cheng Han’s suspicion, and he prepared to use Heretical God Blood as a stronger link for his next Deduction.

• Sheriff brought home a Sable Marten, and Cheng Han used Deduction to discover that the black cat had coordinated a group of cats and used Mental Shock to help bring down its prey.
• At Tongshen Freight Company, Lord Black ordered a Flower Cat to release a Gray Toe Rat near a dangerous patch of darkness so the rat could scout it instead.
• Cheng Han used Honeycomb Heart to establish links with Downy Ants in Liu Yi’s family Ant Room, forming an Ant Squad remotely.
• A Gray Toe Rat vanished in the freight company’s darkness, and Cheng Han’s failed Deduction confirmed that a Heretical God Believer was hiding there.
• Cheng Han realized that his drop of Heretical God Blood could provide a Strong Correlation for investigating the believer’s powerful Supernatural Item.

Cheng Han used the Heretical God Blood to uncover a vision linking Zagu, the Dark Spirit Eye, and a dangerous fusion, then planned a trap for the next night. Meanwhile, he accelerated his secret medicine training and sent Sheriff to find the warehouse’s hidden threat at Tongshen Freight Company.

• Cheng Han deduced that a black-robed figure had captured and devoured the Gray Toe Rat while trying to fuse with escaping shadows.
• A second vision revealed Heretical God Believers blaming Zagu for the Qinglin City branch’s troubles and saying they could find him with the Dark Spirit Eye.

• Cheng Han instructed Sheriff to gather cats for a task, and the Black Cat led them in transporting Gray Toe Rats into a warehouse at Tongshen Freight Company.
• Cheng Han’s Embracing Furnace Stance accelerated his digestion of the Luan Mountain Secret Medicine and raised his Spirit Value limit to 25.7.
• Sheriff used the disappearing Gray Toe Rats to identify a specific area of the warehouse as dangerous, then sent the cats away.

As he prepared for a major event that night, he also managed bird flocks under the authorities’ surveillance and insisted on waiting in the school canteen line.

• Cheng Han deduced that a middle-aged man had knocked Zhang Tie down and stolen the branches he had gathered, then sent Li Zi to comfort the child.

• At Fifteen Middle School’s canteen, Cheng Han ordered students who had made room for him to return to the line and wait their turn.

Cheng Han set a plan in motion to drive Zagu out of Qinglin City and toward North City, where a fated confrontation awaited. Zagu took the bait and headed for North City with an accomplice.

• Cheng Han speculated that the Three Heretical Gods might be manifestations of the Night Law before Qian Qingqing interrupted his thoughts at school.
• After school, Cheng Han activated his link with the Black Cat and sent cat-group scouts to Tong Shen Freight.
• The cats led Downy Ants into a drainage ditch near Zagu’s warehouse, where the ants used a Fire Source Energy burst to leave the warning “Run Away!”
• Zagu spotted the warning through a Black Mist tentacle and decided to flee, while Cheng Han predicted he would head to North City.
• Two figures chose to sneak into North City because its Night Owl flocks were sparser than those around the other outskirts.

Cheng Han used the Eye of Omniscience and a carefully arranged maze to steer Zagu into an encounter with two pursuers, then forced them into battle with a supernatural display. As the fight weakened, Cheng Han prepared to wrap up the events.

• Cheng Han deduced Zagu’s location and explained how he had used Night Owl to design a difficult escape route that Zagu would trust.
• Zagu chose the factory district as the safer route out of Qinglin City, where two members of the God Descent Society confronted him.
• Cheng Han activated the Fragmented Imprint of Spirit Control, sending flocks of birds into the sky and creating enormous Hands of Light that alerted the authorities.
• Zagu realized he had to fight, and both sides unleashed their full power as Cheng Han watched from Shanyi Neighborhood.
• When the battle’s fluctuations weakened, Cheng Han closed the window and prepared to wrap things up.

Cheng Han used Deduction to anticipate the officials’ devastating strike against Zagu and his pursuers, then arranged for a Great Bird to retrieve the spoils before the officials could. The bird was killed, but Leap of Radiance sent the item to Cheng Han, who decided to lie low while the officials investigated the Mysterious Person.

• Cheng Han watched a Deduction predict that Zagu would kill his two pursuers before succumbing to his wounds.
• The Eye of Omniscience revealed that the officials would strike the battlefield in three seconds, prompting Cheng Han to call Wang Youming and prepare his escape plan.
• A Great Bird seized an object from the battlefield just before the officials’ Hand of Azure Mystery arrived, but the Hand of Azure Mystery killed the bird and failed to recover the item.
• The Black-Robed Mystic Adepts realized the Mysterious Person had anticipated their actions and planned to report the encounter to the Profound Pavilion.
• Cheng Han resolved to lie low after realizing how powerful the Mystic Adepts were, while the Black Cat noticed the retrieved black stone on the table.
