After the mourning hall’s candles went out, Shen Yu drove the ghost away before it could attack and tracked it to a cave outside town. There, he discovered a female ghost plotting revenge against the man whose funeral was being held, leaving her next move unclear.

Li Eldest led the Li family toward the mourning hall, where the daughters challenged his authority and questioned his claim that Li Second had died.

• Third Daughter told Li Eldest to think about what shameful things the Li family had done to deserve retribution.

After Old Li’s funeral turned dangerous, the third daughter fled town with the fourth, while Li Yue and the Reincarnators tried to bury the bodies. The coffin could not be covered no matter how much dirt they shoveled, and the veterans realized a ghost wall had drained much of their stamina.

• The third daughter comforted the frightened fourth daughter, invited the eldest and second daughters to stay with her, then left town with the fourth when they declined.
• Li Eldest arranged to bury his dead father and brothers, but several newcomers refused to join the mission, leaving eight newcomers after one had died.

• Xiao Lai, Tang Ping, and the other veterans realized they had encountered a ghost wall that had secretly drained more than half their stamina.

• Tang Ping offered to help fulfill the creature’s wishes and bury the innocent dead, but the creature said it wanted to kill its enemies itself.

The reincarnators retrieved and buried the remains from the cave, fulfilling their deal with the strange creature and securing protection from its ghosts. After most of the town’s newcomers were killed, Xiao Lai and the others found Shen Yu just before time ran out, and he gave them wrapped talismans.

• The reincarnators agreed to bring the remains out of the mountain ravine in exchange for the strange creature sparing them, and Tang Ping warned the newcomers that most strange creatures could not be reasoned with.
• Xiao Lai and the others returned to town, accepted food and ropes from Li Eldest, and entered the cave to retrieve the scattered remains.
• The group buried the remains in the barren mountain pit, completing the deal and gaining protection from the ghosts.

Shen Yu recruited a vengeful ghost from a minor dimensional world and brought it to the Anomaly Containment Association for study. He left the newly connected world’s development to the Logistics Department, while Mr. G prepared to investigate the ghost.

• Shen Yu used an illusion to make Xiao Lai and the other reincarnators believe he had cast thousands of protective talismans, which also tracked them back to the Infinite Train.
• After the ghost completed its revenge, Shen Yu took it away and connected its unstable minor dimensional world to the Association.
• Shen Yu assigned the world’s land and resources to the Logistics Department to manage.
• Shen Yu brought the ghost to the Research Department, where Mr. G and Mr. Tan recognized it as a soul-bearing ghost rather than a typical Weird.
• Mr. G used an energy detector on the ghost and eagerly asked how it should be addressed.

Mr. Tan persuaded the mysterious creature to sign an employee contract and join the Research Department as an experimental subject. Shen Yu then investigated whether Weirds could reveal the laws governing souls and their abilities, and prepared to test his theory using an Anomaly Artifact.

• Mr. Tan explained the Anomaly Containment Association’s mission to the weird creature, which agreed that Weirds should not exist and signed an employee contract.
• Shen Yu assigned the creature to the Research Department and left Mr. G and Mr. Tan to handle its research.
• Shen Yu examined a poisonous Wandering Soul-class Weird and discovered that, even after leaving containment, it could not attack him.
• Shen Yu considered whether Weird abilities were governed by laws and wondered why Weirds found him so tempting to eat.
• Shen Yu took out the Bleeding Coat, intending to use it as a medium for studying the laws behind Weirds.

Shen Yu studied the Bleeding Coat’s spatial laws, then entered a spatial rift to explore the currents and search for a large world fragment. He found a fragment with the beginnings of a world barrier and claimed it, shielding it from the spatial turbulence.

• Shen Yu bought the A-grade Ghost Artifact Bleeding Coat and used it to study how spatial laws could seal and conceal an aura.
• Shen Yu realized his understanding of spatial laws lacked practical methods, so he secluded himself at Headquarters to cultivate.
• Shen Yu opened a spatial rift, entered the spatial currents, and controlled the turbulence as he traveled deeper.
• Shen Yu found a fragment as large as Blue Star with a thin, newly formed world barrier.
• Shen Yu wrapped the fragment in his power, stopping the spatial turbulence from battering its barrier.

Shen Yu watched a newborn world form until it stalled for lack of the law of life, then returned to Headquarters with a deeper understanding of spatial laws. A month later, the tempered newcomers were exploring dungeons, while Yu Ba struggled to supervise Mi Lan.

• Shen Yu supplied energy to a forming world and observed its spherical shape and laws emerge, but its evolution stopped before life appeared.
• Shen Yu left a coordinate in the world and returned to Source World Headquarters after a month away.
• The newcomers completed their training and began clearing dungeons under experienced members, growing stronger without permanent personnel losses.
• Yu Ba chased Mi Lan through the crowd while trying to keep him on task, regretting that his tracking ability had made him Mi Lan's assigned supervisor.

Lu Zhe lost Mi Lan while chasing him, but Yu Ba found him, fed him breakfast, and used Lu Zhe’s tracking ability to pursue Mi Lan. They reached the sealed tabletop RPG and escape-room venue where their mission was set to take place.

• Lu Zhe tripped over a stone and lost sight of Mi Lan, then Yu Ba found him and gave him breakfast.
• Yu Ba explained that Mi Lan’s cruel schemes often harmed newcomers, and that Headquarters had suspended him from leading them on missions.
• After eating, Lu Zhe sensed Mi Lan’s direction, and Yu Ba drove him there on his motorcycle.
• Lu Zhe and Yu Ba arrived at the sealed tabletop RPG and escape-room venue, where Yu Ba noted that Mi Lan had come to the mission site.

Yu Ba and Lu Zhe entered the escape room to find Mi Lan and encountered a statue with a deadly gaze. Mi Lan escaped, leaving Yu Ba trapped staring at the statue while Lu Zhe investigated the room.

• Yu Ba brought Lu Zhe into the escape room and followed a signal to find Mi Lan beside a statue.
• The statue fixed its gaze on Yu Ba, and he realized he had to keep looking at it or die.
• Mi Lan admitted he had been trapped by the statue, teased Yu Ba, and fled while Yu Ba shouted after him.
• Yu Ba discovered that staring at the statue kept its oppressive force at bay, leaving him unable to move away.
• Lu Zhe realized the bones on the walls might be real and began investigating the room at Yu Ba's request.

Lu Zhe and Yu Ba were trapped in a room with a stone statue when a Wolf-Head Man attacked them. Lu Zhe struggled to defend himself until Yu Ba told him to use the special bullets in his bag.

• Yu Ba refused to let Lu Zhe take his place searching because Lu Zhe was the Contract Anomalist who could contain a Weird.
• Lu Zhe sensed an approaching Weird before Yu Ba did, and the two prepared to defend themselves while Yu Ba remained constrained by the stone statue.
• A Wolf-Head Man entered the room, and Lu Zhe recognized it as a monster from a tabletop role-playing game.
• Lu Zhe summoned his C-Class Weird, the Non-Directional Indicator Ball, which absorbed hammer blows while he fired at the attacker.
• Yu Ba observed Lu Zhe struggling against the Wraith-level Weird and told him to take the special bullets from the bag at his waist.

Lu Zhe defeated and contained the wolf-headed anomaly with special bullets, then helped Yu Ba escape the statue’s deadly gaze by carrying it out of the room. Mi Lan revealed the statue lost its power outside, and Yu Ba discovered Mi Lan had been recording him the whole time.

• Lu Zhe used Yu Ba’s special bullets to weaken and defeat the wolf-headed anomaly, then contained it in the Anomaly Cage.
• After bandaging his injuries, Lu Zhe tracked Mi Lan while Yu Ba picked up the stone statue so they could leave the room.
• Lu Zhe and Yu Ba found Mi Lan, who laughed at Yu Ba for carrying the statue and holding its gaze.
• Mi Lan revealed that the statue lost its power outside the room, and Yu Ba looked away without triggering its deadly rule.
• Yu Ba realized Mi Lan had known the statue’s weakness and saw him holding up his phone to record the scene.
