Ren Ye used careful questioning and wound analysis to identify the man with the spilling intestines as the insider who had been killed last after helping steal the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire Talisman. After solving the mystery, he used his final question to win a 256-fan mahjong hand and demanded his winnings.

• Ren Ye questioned the three Yin Souls and learned that the man with the Silver Nail had died first, while the man with the spilling intestines had discovered the thief first and Song Mingzhe had possessed a key to the Inner Treasury.
• Ren Ye asked whether the man with the spilling intestines had been killed by Song Mingzhe, and the man said no; Ren Ye then asked whether he had been the insider silenced last, and the man confessed.
• Ren Ye explained that the man’s two fatal wounds, unlike the other victims’ injuries, suggested a sudden attack during a dispute over dividing stolen spoils.
• The Star Gate rewarded Ren Ye for solving the mystery, and the woman with the slit throat moved to attack the confessed traitor.
• Ren Ye used his final question to predict the man’s next discard, completed a 256-fan hand, and demanded 256 gold coins.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai compared their findings about the stolen Fire Talisman and decided to investigate Old Yan’s disappearance at Tianhai Teahouse. Elsewhere, Brother Hong delivered something Song An had requested, and Song An announced a night of revelry.

• Ren Ye won 256 Gold Coins from the Bowel-Streaming Man by using tile-counting logic, then left the Inner Treasury as the woman and the silver-needle man attacked him.
• Ren Ye met Xiao Shuai at the Cold Drink Shop, where Xiao Shuai recounted his encounter with the transformed night watchman and explained that Old Yan had vanished after visiting Tianhai Teahouse.
• Xiao Shuai reported that Old Yan had met Song An on the 39th Floor shortly after the incident, but Ren Ye warned that their apparent argument on camera made a simple conspiracy theory uncertain.
• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai agreed to investigate Tianhai Teahouse together, Old Yan’s last known stop.
• Brother Hong brought Song An what he had requested, and Song An declared that they would go wild that night.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai investigated Old Yan’s disappearance at Tianhai Teahouse and learned he had left through a back exit, heading south. They found the place where Ren Ye had burned offerings for Room 3999, then discovered a phone in a nearby trash can and checked its call history.

• Ren Ye accused the teahouse owner of selling fake tea and pressured him into answering questions about Old Yan.
• The owner said Old Yan arrived around 11:30, left around 23:45 through the back exit, and was seen heading south by a cleaner.
• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai followed Old Yan’s route to an alley, where Ren Ye recognized the ashes as the offerings he had burned for Room 3999.
• Ren Ye told Xiao Shuai to search the area, and Xiao Shuai found a phone beside a trash can.
• Ren Ye opened the phone and found a string of numbers in its call history while Xiao Shuai said he would explain his background later.

Ren Ye identified Song An as the likely thief who stole the Fire Talisman and killed Old Yan, then sought one final confirmation about who had access to the Inner Treasury. Meanwhile, Song An waited confidently in his duplex as Brother Hong worried about the missing Old Cadre.

• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai traced the phone found in the alley to Song An and Old Yan through the package storage point's Boss Lady.
• Ren Ye explained his theory that Song An stole the Fire Talisman, killed the Inner Treasury witnesses, and later murdered Old Yan after Old Yan discovered the crime.
• Ren Ye argued that Old Yan had not been Song An's accomplice and said they needed to confirm who held the Inner Treasury keys before reporting back.
• Song An waited with his Organization Members while Brother Hong worried that Old Cadre had not returned, but Song An dismissed the concern.

Brother Hong and Old Cadre returned from dangerous missions to Song An’s gathering, where Song An ordered Da Xiong killed to conceal the society’s crimes. Da Xiong’s pleas turned the young members against Song An, while Pan Lianrong calmly dealt with the aftermath of a separate massacre in the Heavenly Palace.

• Brother Hong waited anxiously for Old Cadre, who returned wounded after a failed prison rescue in which five young members died and mysterious black-robed figures helped them escape.
• Song An learned that Da Xiong had failed to destroy the stolen vehicle, then sent him away with Xu Zai and a Ministry of Works pass before ordering Liangzi to kill him and hide his body.
• Song An entered Da Xiong’s sister’s room and assaulted her when she asked what had happened to her brother.
• In parking area A, Da Xiong begged Xu Zai, Liangzi, and the others not to kill him, then argued that Song An was the real danger and that killing him was the only way to end the crisis.
• After more than twenty bodies were left in the Heavenly Palace, Pan Lianrong rejected her subordinate’s suggestion to kill everyone who knew what had happened.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai waited on the rooftop to report their findings about the stolen Fire Talisman, while Xiao Shuai explained his privileged upbringing and why he entered the Star Gate. Ren Ye's unease grew as the appointed time approached, and Daxiong arrived at the duplex while Brother Hong and Old Cadre debated whether they could interfere with the scene upstairs.

• Ren Ye reviewed the evidence pointing to Song An as the Fire Talisman thief but remained troubled by an unexplained sense of unease.
• Xiao Shuai told Ren Ye that his powerful family had sheltered him from hardship, and that he entered the Star Gate after his fiancée called him useless.
• Ren Ye agreed to act as Xiao Shuai's backer in exchange for Star Source, then became distracted when Xiao Shuai noted that Song Mingzhe should return around 23:20.
• A man in a trench coat rode the elevator toward the rooftop as the time neared 23:20.
• Brother Hong tried to go upstairs after hearing the wheelchair-bound girl's cries, but Old Cadre stopped him and warned that intervening in the reflection of the past would doom their mission.
• Daxiong entered the duplex and heard the cries upstairs after Brother Hong told him to check on his sister.

Da Xiong and the other members of Darkness Descends turned against Song An after discovering his abuse of Da Xiong’s sister, while Brother Hong and Old Cadre joined the fight. On the rooftop, Ren Ye realized his theory about the Inner Treasury Fire Talisman case was wrong, leaving him and Xiao Shuai with less than five minutes to report the truth to Song Mingzhe.

• Liangzi led the returning members upstairs, where they found Song An assaulting Da Xiong’s disabled sister and attacked him with their Mystical Abilities.
• Song An’s wig came off during the fight, revealing his voluntarily shaved head and exposing his betrayal of the group; Da Xiong and the others resolved to kill him.
• Brother Hong and Old Cadre chose to help the rebels, and the group overwhelmed Song An while Da Xiong began retaliating against him.
• Song Mingzhe arrived on the rooftop to hear Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai’s findings, but Ren Ye stopped Xiao Shuai from revealing their earlier, mistaken theory.
• Ren Ye told Xiao Shuai that the timing and some of Old Yan’s actions did not fit, while the Heavenly Dao warned them that they had less than five minutes to give Song Mingzhe the answer he wanted.
• Pan Lianrong praised Tan Pang and Yin Tiger and presented them with treasures and Star Source.

With seconds left to complete Song Mingzhe’s commission, Ren Ye deduced that Song Mingzhe had killed Old Yan and was using the investigation to conceal his son Song An’s role in stealing the Fire Talisman. Ren Ye gave Song Mingzhe a false account blaming Old Yan, and the Star Gate confirmed the commission was complete.

• As the deadline approached, Ren Ye snapped out of his thoughts and told Xiao Shuai they would have to gamble on a conclusion.
• Ren Ye connected Song Mingzhe’s rooftop arrival time with Song An and Old Yan’s argument, deducing that Song Mingzhe had learned the truth and arranged to meet Old Yan at the Teahouse.
• Ren Ye concluded that Song An had led the Fire Talisman theft while Song Mingzhe killed Old Yan and commissioned the investigation to protect his reputation and future promotion.
• Xiao Shuai agreed to trust Ren Ye’s theory, and Ren Ye went to report their answer to Song Mingzhe.
• Ren Ye falsely accused Old Yan of stealing the Fire Talisman with an insider and fleeing, and Song Mingzhe accepted the report as the Star Gate declared the commission complete.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai survived the Star Gate’s first act, but Song An unleashed the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire inside the building, destroying the Star Source and putting the mission in immediate danger. A new notification revealed that the players had to protect and return the Soul Bodies of Song Mingzhe, Pan Lianrong, and Song An to the Song Family’s room.

• Ren Ye completed the last-second deduction, and Song Mingzhe promised him and Xiao Shuai a one-rank promotion after they submitted an investigation report.
• Pan Lianrong left the Heavenly Palace, while Tan Pang and Yin Tiger discovered two chests containing over a million units of Star Source.
• Da Xiong and the other teenage Supernatural Ability Users beat Song An until he retaliated with the Blazing Sun-Tian-Gong-Fire talisman.
• Song An’s Fourth Grade Strange Fire engulfed Room No. 2401, killed Da Xiong, and burned the Star Source chests to ashes.
• The building shook and cracked as the Star Gate announced a new mission to return the Soul Bodies of Song Mingzhe, Pan Lianrong, and Song An to the Song Family’s room.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai survived the detonation of the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire and recovered Song Mingzhe's Soul Body, then hurried to room 3999 on the 39th Floor. They found the Song Family home blocked by flames that destroyed Xiao Shuai's talisman, and Ren Ye's Phoenix Fire Furnace began to tremble.

• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai rushed to Song Mingzhe's Soul Body as the Tiangong Building shook and burned, and Ren Ye drew the Soul Body into the mark between his brows.
• Ren Ye learned from the others that Song An had detonated the Fire Talisman, killing the Darkness Descends members, and that Song An's Soul Body was with Old Cadre.
• Xiao Shuai told the group that the Song Family home was in room 3999, and Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai headed down from the rooftop while the others planned to make their way there.
• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai reached the 39th Floor and raced through the burning corridor toward room 3999.
• Xiao Shuai tried to use a Cold Water Talisman to extinguish the flames, but the fire incinerated it before he could activate it.
• Ren Ye felt the Phoenix Fire Furnace in his consciousness space begin to tremble as they stood unable to enter the Song Family home.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai realized they had to find the Fire Talisman to extinguish the Heavenly Dao super-grade fire and reach the Song Family’s home, but burned corpses attacked them on the 39th floor. The group struggled through the collapsing, corpse-filled Heavenly Palace as Ren Ye discovered that the fire targeted their magic treasures.

• Ren Ye told the others that the Song Family lived in Room 3999 and that they needed to find the Fire Talisman before they could enter.
• Burned corpses emerged throughout the 39th-floor corridor, accused Song Mingzhe and the Song Family of wrongdoing, and charged Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai.
• Xiao Shuai used his red sash and Azure-Light Cold Armguards to clear a path, revealing his Warrior-Lineage Inheritance and powerful pure yang attacks.
• The fire at Room 3999 flared up and set Ren Ye’s Human Emperor Sword, Xiao Shuai’s armguards, and his red sash ablaze without immediately destroying them.
• Brother Hong lost contact with Old Cadre after the corridor collapsed, while Yin Tiger fought more than a hundred burned corpses and Tan Pang sensed a special aura nearby.

Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai fought through the burning corpses in Tiangong Building, earned Gold Coins, and descended toward the supremely yang aura. They reached the main hall and found Tiangong Fire pouring from a huge hole as Ren Ye’s Phoenix Fire Furnace began to stir.

• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai battled their way down the building, killing hundreds of burning corpses and receiving Gold Coins from the Star Gate.
• Ren Ye used Holy Eyes and the Human Emperor Sword to clear a path, while Xiao Shuai unleashed Qilin Protection with his Azure-Light Cold Armguards.
• The pair jumped down the collapsed side of the building to the first floor and contacted Yin Tiger, Tan Pang, Brother Hong, and Old Cadre, who were separated across the floors.
• Ren Ye and Xiao Shuai headed toward the Inner Treasury, where the others had also sensed the supremely yang aura.
• Near the mall’s main hall, they spotted a huge hole spewing crimson-blue Tiangong Fire, and Ren Ye’s Phoenix Fire Furnace began trembling violently in his Consciousness Space.

Ren Ye attempted to refine the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire while his companions drew away the burning corpses so they could eventually reach Room 3999. As he neared completion, burning corpses breached the cavern, and a disheveled woman sacrificed herself defending him.

• Ren Ye arranged for Xiao Shuai and Brother Hong to lure away the burning corpses, promising them rewards and handing Song Mingzhe's soul body to Xiao Shuai.
• Ren Ye entered the blazing pit, discovered the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire, and activated a hidden bonus mission to refine it.
• Ren Ye used the Phoenix Fire Furnace, the Human Emperor Seal, and destiny power to subdue and absorb the fire seed.
• Xiao Shuai, Brother Hong, Yin Tiger, and Old Cadre struggled to contain the burning corpses while Tan Pang's attempted mirror teleportation was disrupted by the fire.
• Ren Ye summoned Night Walker to defend him after a horde of Burning Corpses broke into the cavern before he finished refining the fire.
• A disheveled woman turned against the Burning Corpses to protect Ren Ye and was torn apart after murmuring about waiting for him to come home.

Ren Ye successfully refined the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire with help from Old Cadre and the others, then led the group to regroup on the first floor. Their relief ended when a blast sounded to the north and Brother Hong cried for help over the radio.

• Ren Ye watched his wife in the Star Gate’s past sacrifice herself to shield him, then forced himself to focus on controlling the Night Walker.
• Xiao Shuai exhausted his strength protecting Song Mingzhe’s soul, used his Azure-Scale Armor, and held his position until Tan Pang arrived to rescue him.
• Ren Ye called for help, and Old Cadre fought through the burning corpses to protect him while he completed the refinement.
• Ren Ye refined the Blazing Sun Tiangong Fire and, with Old Cadre, fought toward the first floor as the firelight faded.
• Ren Ye and the others heard a blast to the north, followed by Brother Hong’s cries for help over the radio.

Ren Ye and the others found Brother Hong dead beneath the rubble after an unexplained explosion. Ren Ye discovered Brother Hong’s hidden legacy chest, which revealed a message identifying him as Xing Hong, a Gold Digger from the Chaotic Secret Realm.

• Ren Ye rushed north with the team and found a devastated lobby where Yin Tiger identified Brother Hong’s fading aura.
• Yin Tiger uncovered Brother Hong’s mangled head, and the team realized he had died in an explosion with no other Supernatural Ability User’s aura nearby.
• As burning corpses closed in, Ren Ye insisted on searching for something Brother Hong had hinted at, while Tan Pang and Yin Tiger helped look.
• Yin Tiger found the gray jar Brother Hong had eaten from, and Ren Ye’s perception opened it to reveal a small wooden chest that expanded into a Gold Digger’s Legacy Chest.
• Brother Hong’s phantom emerged from the chest, introduced himself as Xing Hong, and explained that the chest was his legacy and that he had died before bringing home his gains.

Ren Ye received Xing Hong’s private phantom, learned of his family’s plight and his suspicions about the group, and agreed to deliver the Gold Digger's Legacy Chest to Ming Quan. After the chest revealed a Fortune Divination Stick, Ren Ye came out of his trance and ordered everyone to prepare to leave.

• Xing Hong’s public phantom explained that Ming Quan at the Welcome Guests Inn could open the chest and promised Ren Ye one-third of its contents for delivering it.
• The chest sent a second phantom into Ren Ye’s consciousness space, where Xing Hong asked him to return the chest and warned that Xiao Yuan’s death might not have been simple.
• Xing Hong described the debt trapping his wife and five children in his Secret Realm and said he had considered helping Ren Ye claim the core reward before he died.
• Ren Ye agreed to deliver the chest to someone Xing Hong trusted and hoped his children could avoid becoming gold diggers.
• The chest produced a Fortune Divination Stick, while Tan Pang used his antique mirror to recreate the scene in the northern hall.
• Ren Ye awoke from his trance and told the others to prepare to leave.

Ren Ye and the others entered Room 3999 and began rewinding Song Mingzhe’s Soul Body, witnessing his actions after the Tiangong Building fire. The rewind revealed Song Mingzhe’s efforts to cover up Song An’s crimes and ended with him chaining and mutilating his son to make him appear to be a victim.

• Ren Ye’s group reached Room 3999, completed the trial, and chose to rewind Song Mingzhe’s Soul Body first.

• Song Mingzhe chained Song An and ordered him to stretch out his leg, then mutilated him.

Ren Ye and the others watched Pan Lianrong’s Rewind and learned how she responded to Song An’s activation of the Fire Talisman and his apparent death. Three days after the fire, Pan Lianrong was promoted to Third Grade Great Spirit Official while silently grieving her son.

• Tan Pang reconstructed Pan Lianrong’s soul, and Ren Ye and the others witnessed the Fire Talisman explode at the Heavenly Palace.
• Pan Lianrong questioned Song An about the explosion, told him to call Song Mingzhe, and arranged for the ten black-robed people to escape under cover of the chaos.
• Pan Lianrong told a contact that Song An had become an Enforcer and accused the Justice Organization’s secret maneuvering of getting him killed.
• Pan Lianrong admitted that Song An had supported the Enforcer Organization because he knew her identity and wanted to help her.
