• Zhang Lin and the others left the house and searched the surrounding woodland while keeping close enough to help one another.
• After searching all night without finding clues, Yang Yu suggested the body might be hidden inside the house.

Yang Yu found a psychiatric diagnosis report showing that Lin Dahai was alive and had been sent to Qingping Psychiatric Hospital, overturning the group’s assumption that he was dead. At the hospital, Du Jiashi pretended to be a patient so the group could get inside, and a doctor came out to handle him.

• Xiao Ni gave Yang Yu a music box with a broken figurine, and Yang Yu found Lin Dahai’s psychiatric diagnosis report hidden inside it.
• Yang Yu concluded that Lin Dahai was alive and that Xiao Ni did not want him to return home, then showed the report to the others.

• Du Jiashi pounded on the hospital gate and acted like an agitated patient until doctors came out, then knocked one of them to the ground while demanding to go home.

• Xie Yu told the group he had found the Weird entity and warned that its aura surpassed the level of a Malignant Curse.

Xie Yu and the others realized they had entered a separate psychiatric-hospital Dungeon nested within The Disappeared Father. At night, the S-Rank Qingping Psychiatric Hospital Dungeon activated, leaving the disguised Conquerors to face its clearance conditions.

• Yang Yu found a notice saying Lin Dahai would return home in two days and concluded that the psychiatric hospital was a separate, related Dungeon.
• Xie Yu warned the group that they could not leave before meeting the new Dungeon’s clearance conditions, and they hid in Lin Dahai’s room until nightfall.
• At six o’clock, Qingping Psychiatric Hospital activated as an S-Rank Dungeon, with conditions to act as a normal patient, escape, or kill the boss.
• Zhang Lin questioned whether the group looked like normal patients, while Du Jiashi joked that he was a good doctor and the others acknowledged their disguises and earlier stunts might cause trouble.

After disguising themselves as doctors and escaping their rooms, Zhang Lin, Du Jiashi, Yang Yu, Xu Rou, and Yin Nu were caught and given medication. As they grew drowsy, Du Jiashi began emitting a Weird aura and suffered a sudden bleeding wound while asleep, leaving Zhang Lin trying to save him.

• Xu Rou, Yin Nu, Zhang Lin, Du Jiashi, and Yang Yu decided to return to their rooms after roaming the hospital disguised as doctors and escaped patients.
• The hospital discovered the doctors tied to the beds, locked down, and recaptured the five, placing them in guarded rooms.

• Yang Yu sensed a growing Weird aura around Du Jiashi, who shouted in his sleep and did not wake when Zhang Lin called to him.
• Zhang Lin found a deep gash on Du Jiashi's abdomen and treated the bleeding with medical supplies from the ward.

Zhang Lin and Yang Yu entered Du Jiashi’s Ghost Domain to find him after the medicine put them to sleep, and the three searched for a way to escape the ruined psychiatric hospital. Zhang Lin failed to release his Ghost Domain, and the chapter left them facing a doctor whose body burst into blood and attacking worms.

• Zhang Lin and Yang Yu chose to enter the Ghost Domain by falling asleep, and they woke in a burned, run-down psychiatric hospital where they found the injured Lin Dahai.
• The two avoided a bloodied doctor in the corridor and found Du Jiashi, who explained that the doctor had chased him until he hid in a patient room.

Du Jiashi, Yang Yu, Zhang Lin, Xu Rou, and Yin Nu fought their way through the psychiatric hospital’s Ghost Domain and tried to escape it, but their attempts failed. When the clock rang again, a madman emerged from the wall and stabbed Du Jiashi before vanishing.

• Du Jiashi gave Yang Yu and Zhang Lin special weapons, and the three killed a swarm of bugs before searching for Xu Rou and Yin Nu.

• The group failed to release their Ghost Domains and realized Captain Xie might not know they were trapped because they had entered after taking medicine.
• After the hospital clock rang, Yang Yu and Zhang Lin sensed danger, but an injured Du Jiashi could not dodge a madman that emerged from the wall and stabbed him with scissors before disappearing.

Du Jiashi died after the Weird scissors opened his abdomen, and the group failed to save his body from the hospital’s Ghost Domain. As they prepared to face further attacks, Yang Yu questioned why the Weirds were not attacking the patients.

• The Weird scissors fatally wounded Du Jiashi, and he transferred his supplies to the others before dying.
• The hospital floor turned to flesh and tried to swallow Du Jiashi’s corpse, but the group struggled to hold him back.
• Yang Yu foresaw an attack and let go of Du Jiashi, pushing Zhang Lin out of danger before the scissors could strike them.
• Zhang Lin shot the Weird, but it retreated into the wall, and the floor swallowed Du Jiashi before returning to normal.
• Zhang Lin warned the others to stay away from the walls and stand back-to-back, while Yang Yu asked why the Weirds had not attacked the patients.

Yang Yu and his companions tried to survive inside the Ghost Domain, but a violent rearrangement of the hospital split them apart. Yang Yu and Zhang Lin escaped a deadly attack from the Wall Weird, while Xu Rou and Yin Nu were left elsewhere.

• Yang Yu guessed they had to stall until the medicine wore off or Captain Xie came to rescue them, and the group agreed to follow his warnings.
• The ground and walls shifted violently, separating Yang Yu and Zhang Lin from Xu Rou and Yin Nu.
• Yang Yu and Zhang Lin avoided patrolling doctors and hid in a room with two psychiatric patients who tried to draw them into dancing.
• The Wall Weird emerged and killed both patients with its scissors, then swallowed their corpses with the red floor.
• Yang Yu warned Zhang Lin to duck, and Zhang Lin crouched just before the Wall Weird's scissors swept through the space where his head had been.

Zhang Lin and Yang Yu endured an unavoidable injection from a nurse while trying to keep Wall Weird occupied. When Yang Yu's foresight failed and Wall Weird stabbed him, Zhang Lin's rage awakened the Gun of Karma, and he shot Wall Weird in the forehead.

• A masked nurse entered Zhang Lin and Yang Yu's ward and gave them injections despite their attempts to resist.

• Zhang Lin stopped sensing his contracted Weird, saw Yang Yu wounded, and fired the Gun of Karma at Wall Weird.
• Wall Weird tried to merge into the wall but found itself unable to move, and the bullet struck the center of its forehead.

• Zhang Lin killed Wall Weird, then treated Yang Yu, who said his ability had failed and that Zhang Lin would have to continue without him.
• Yin Nu used her doll to kill a doctor Weird while Xu Rou fought off the doctors in the hospital lobby.
• A Flesh Mountain appeared, swallowed several doctors, and chased Xu Rou and Yin Nu through the corridors.
• Xu Rou and Yin Nu escaped into an empty hospital room and waited for the Flesh Mountain to roll away.
• A patient hiding under the bed stabbed Xu Rou, and Yin Nu's Voodoo Doll killed him, but Xu Rou died from her wounds.

Yin Nu's grief drove her Voodoo Doll berserk, and it fought off the Wall Weird as she weighed whether to escape or seek help. Xie Yu used the final protocol to revive the dead newcomers, who confronted the real danger of being Contract Anomalists.

• Yin Nu's grief caused the Voodoo Doll to unleash its Semi-Complete Ghost Domain and severely injure the Wall Weird before it escaped into the wall.
• Yin Nu considered finding Zhang Lin and the others to help them escape or leaving the Ghost Domain to report everything to Captain Xie.
• Xie Yu used a one-time Time Reversal after the newcomer team had died in the Ghost Domain.
• Zhang Lin, Du Jiashi, Yang Yu, Xu Rou, and Yin Nu awoke alive, and Xie Yu told them Headquarters' final protocol had granted them another life.
• Zhang Lin and the other newcomers realized how close to death a Contract Anomalist's work could bring them.

After Xie Yu’s deadly training exercise revived the five newcomers outside the psychiatric hospital, they chose to reenter and face the anomaly again. Xie Yu’s unnervingly calm nature left them realizing he was the greatest abnormality of all.

• Xie Yu unlocked Evil God: Wrathful Face as the newcomers recovered from the terror of dying and recognized how the experience had improved their abilities.
• Yang Yu noticed the group had revived outside the psychiatric hospital with the clock unchanged and their injuries gone, and suspected the Anomaly Containment Association had a way to bring Contract Anomalists back to life.
• Du Jiashi asked whether the group should return, and Yin Nu declared she could now unleash a Ghost Domain and would not let the same disaster happen again.
• Zhang Lin called for a vote, and all five newcomers raised their hands to reenter the psychiatric hospital.
• Du Jiashi approached Xie Yu and realized that his complete lack of visible malice or mental instability made him seem more abnormal than the others.

Xie Yu led the newcomers through another entry into the Ghost Domain, where they fought the hospital’s supernatural entities together. When the Ghost Domain’s master attacked, Xie Yu unleashed his own Ghost Domain and summoned an Evil God.

• The group entered the psychiatric hospital, took the doctors’ medicine, and gathered in the Ghost Domain’s lobby with Xie Yu.
• The newcomers used their abilities to defeat the attacking supernatural entities, while Yang Yu anticipated and repelled the Wall Weird.
• The Ghost Domain trembled as its master tried to separate the Contract Anomalists, but Xie Yu’s Ghost Domain stopped the disturbance.
• The furious master shook the hospital and threatened to bring down its ceiling, so Xie Yu put on a red mask and summoned an Evil God.

Xie Yu’s Evil God tore through the psychiatric hospital, letting the newcomers survive the falling debris and defeat the attacking Weirds. After the Ghost Domain collapsed and they cleared the first condition, Yang Yu realized the hospital’s patients and doctors had likely already been assimilated, leaving the group to decide how to confront the hospital Weird next.

• Xie Yu’s Evil God battered the psychiatric hospital, and Yang Yu used Weird Eye to guide the group away from falling debris.
• Zhang Lin led the newcomers to shelter, where they joked while fighting off the Weirds swarming toward them.
• The Evil God defeated the heavily wounded Weird entity, forcing it to withdraw its Ghost Domain and waking the patients.
• The five newcomers escaped their restraints and received confirmation that they had achieved Clear Condition One.
• Yang Yu reasoned that the hospital’s patients and doctors had been assimilated into Weird entities, and he proposed entering the Ghost Domain again to find the hospital Weird.

The group discovered that the psychiatric hospital might be sending patients replaced by Weirds home to kill their families and spread the monsters. With Xie Yu's approval, Xu Rou prepared to deal with Lin Dahai and test whether stopping him could resolve the previous Dungeon.

• Xie Yu drew attention to the list of psychiatric patients permitted to leave, and the group questioned why unstable patients were being sent home.
• Yin Nu and Xu Rou recognized a patient on the list whom they had seen eaten by a Weird in the Ghost Domain, but found him alive and raving about monsters.
• Yang Yu suggested the patient might have been replaced by something waiting to emerge, and the group feared patients would turn into monsters during family visits.
• Xu Rou concluded that Weirds had taken over the hospital and were using its patients to hunt and spread, while Yang Yu speculated that this might explain the boss of The Disappeared Father Dungeon.
• Xu Rou proposed destroying the hospital, and the group agreed that coexistence with the monsters was impossible.
• After Xie Yu told them they could test whether resolving this Dungeon would affect the previous one, Xu Rou raised her Bone Umbrella to deal with Lin Dahai.

Xu Rou and the others killed Lin Dahai and cleared the psychiatric hospital of its patients and staff, while Xie Yu used the Evil God to defeat and contain the anomaly hidden within Qingping Psychiatric Hospital. The system recognized the anomaly as defeated and awarded 200,000 Construction Points.

• Xu Rou killed Lin Dahai with the Bone Umbrella, and Zhang Lin sensed that a Weird had been inside his body.
• Yang Yu led the five newcomers in killing the psychiatric hospital's doctors and patients after they confirmed no one there was normal.
• Xie Yu released his Ghost Domain and found the opposing domain, prompting the Evil God to appear and demolish the hospital.
• The Evil God crushed the miniature Qingping Psychiatric Hospital anomaly and unlocked Evil God's Wrath (Perfect) for Xie Yu.

After the Dungeons were conquered, Kong Yubo considered how the Xia Kingdom could use its new safe time to investigate Weirds and develop its own Weird Wielders. Meanwhile, the Key Society’s leaders argued over Mo Chen after his people’s actions had nearly exposed the organization.

• The system announced that Xie Yu, Zhang Lin, Xu Rou, Yang Yu, Yin Nu, and Du Jiashi had conquered Qingping Psychiatric Hospital and The Disappeared Father, granting the Xia Kingdom safe daytime Buffs.
• Kong Yubo welcomed the Buffs and planned to use the respite to investigate Weirds, educate the public, and train people with special abilities.
• Kong Yubo focused on the elusive Key Society, which had evaded the Anomaly Investigation Team despite recruiting ordinary students into illegal activities.
• The Key Society’s leaders blamed Mo Chen’s people for drawing official scrutiny and nearly exposing the organization.
• The leaders disagreed over whether Mo Chen should take his own life in atonement or receive only a few months of solitary confinement.

Mo Chen faced punishment from Key Society for Cui Zicheng’s disappearance, then discovered that his memories of a promising student had been erased. Key Society suspected the Contract Anomalists had intervened to protect the student.

• Key Society’s higher-ups deducted two years of Mo Chen’s dividends but waived his confinement because they needed his help.
• Mo Chen told the higher-ups that a student at Snow Sun First Middle School had caused the Affinity Stone to erupt with brilliant light.
• When the higher-ups asked for the student’s identity, Mo Chen realized he could no longer remember the student’s name, face, voice, or appearance.
• The higher-ups suspected that the Contract Anomalists had erased Mo Chen’s memories to protect the gifted student.
• Key Society’s higher-ups complained that the Contract Anomalists were competing with them for talented recruits.
