Shen Yu established the Anomaly Containment Association as Bai Zuo and his agents confronted anomalies and the government began investigating them. At the Lamp Mansion Festival, Bai Zuo’s Ghost Domain spread through the crowd, leaving Ji Wu and Xu Zhou struggling to prevent a disaster.
Bai Zuo and Xu Zhou helped defeat Yama in the Lamp Mansion Festival Dungeon, while Shen Yu investigated a ghostly admirer after returning to the hospital. Bai Zuo then entered the Strange Food Dungeon with a group of strangers and cleared it with Du Jiashi and Xu Rou.
Shen Yu expanded the Anomaly Containment Association while Skywing A survived a trap and exposed the Weird controlling a remote town. As the Association prepared its headquarters and sent supplies to Yi Gui Company, Zhao Hun wandered into a haunted manor and witnessed a battle between a Daoist, the Resentful Woman, and the Wedding Dress Ghost.
Shen Yu subdued Vaser Dungeon and brought it into the Anomaly Containment Association, while overseas anomalies and a clash between Contract Anomalists drew growing public attention. The arc ended with a masked Leader rescuing Evil Mouth and Love Resentment, and online viewers speculating about secret organizations.
Shen Yu expanded the Anomaly Containment Association’s reach while Bei Mu took charge of Yi Gui Company, and Bai Zuo traveled to meet Heart’s Bloom. The trip ended with a group of bullies dead and the others suspecting that an anomaly had influenced events.
Yang Yu joined Yi Gui Company as Shen Yu prepared a response to an attack from another world, while new recruits contracted Weirds and spies were taken into custody. Bai Zuo led an expedition into the ruined world, where the group investigated its history and Feng Fa’s footage reached the company’s users.
Bai Zuo led the Anomaly Containment Association to investigate the Blood Feast Armed Forces and declared war after uncovering their crimes. The Association crushed the group, turned its survivors into puppets, and pursued those who fled.
Bai Zuo’s path through Ze Hai City led him to join the Anomaly Containment Association and complete his Character Card, while Shen Yu gained the Infinity fragment and strengthened Headquarters. Shen Yu then sent Skywing A to investigate Willow Lake Park, where Old Tan and Xiao Zhang were drawn into the Weird’s territory.
Skywing A defeated the Clown and rescued the transformed animals, while Shen Yu used Wu’s divination identity to investigate the Eternal Kingdom. Wu and Mike infiltrated the cult, where Mike learned that stopping its god might lead to an even worse future, and Wu offered him a costly way to seek answers.
Mike and the Australian defenders faced the Eternal Kingdom’s summoning of a powerful god, while Fu Zhang and Skywing A drove it from Blue Star and contained it. After Australia arrested most of the cult, the Anomaly Containment Association expanded its operations in the Polluted World, and Bai Zuo went looking for Shen Yu.
Shen Yu and Bai Zuo entered the haunted house’s Ghost Domain, where they confronted Mirror Weird and Shen Yu subdued Evil Mouth’s awakening Weird. Later, while posing as Skywing A, Shen Yu killed Cui Zicheng, drawing an investigation by the Supervision Department and a report to the Court of Judgment.
Zhang Lin and the newcomers entered a B-rank Dungeon that led them into the S-rank Qingping Psychiatric Hospital, where they died and were revived before returning to defeat its Weirds. After the Dungeons were cleared, the Xia Kingdom gained safe daytime Buffs, while the Key Society realized Contract Anomalists had interfered with its plans to recruit a gifted student.
Shen Yu infiltrated and dismantled Key Society, then Yi Gui Company began recruiting and training new Contract Anomalists. Yang Yu and Zhao Hun joined the Daoist priest in containing a succession of Weirds, ending with an outbreak traced to the Bolo Kingdom.
Skywing A entered the Realm of Freedom, exposed how the city lords exploited ordinary people, and helped spark the Skywing Alliance as he collected the sleeping Divine Scions. The city lords conspired against him, and the arc ended with City Lord No. 2 claiming poison had immobilized Skywing A.
Skywing A overturned the city lords’ rule, while Xia Yun and Deng Tao’s first mission ended with Mi Lan losing control inside a haunted cinema. Shen Yu then investigated a fragile world drained by Lin Tan’s time-controlling parasite and confronted the Weird after the world shattered.
Shen Yu captured the Time Shadow Worm, then entered a trial world where Reincarnators faced a vengeful ghost in a funeral town. He brought the ghost into the Association and continued developing new worlds while trained recruits began handling missions, including Lu Zhe and Yu Ba’s encounter with a tabletop-game anomaly.
Mi Lan, Lu Zhe, and the other Contract Anomalists contained the Fierce Fiend Class Weird Satan with help from the Evil God. Back at Headquarters, the Daoist completed his Divine Prayer, Resentful Woman began evolving, and Shen Yu drew the SS-Class Character Card Absolute Boundary.
Bai Zuo uncovered Hyena’s attack on the Yigui Branch and used Heart Gu to control the people involved in a scheme to steal the Anomaly-Taming Art. The investigation exposed hidden figures targeting the Association, and Canna Lily arrived as Taren and Buzewall begged for mercy.
Canna Lily ordered Bai Zuo to retaliate against those who conspired against the Anomaly Containment Association, while Shen Yu traveled from Haierderi into the World of the Sea. After discovering the sea demons’ sacrificial ritual was meant to appease a Weird, Shen Yu let it proceed so he could draw the creature out.
Shen Yu defeated the sea Weird and helped bring the rulers of the world into the Anomaly Containment Association, while Mi Lan investigated Eden and contained its ruler. The arc ended with Eden’s children transformed into bloodkin and Wang Xiang unable to control his new wings.
