• Inside, they discovered shelves densely arranged with severed human heads, and Yang Jian wondered how far the ghost’s influence had spread through Dachuan City.
• Yang Jian spotted someone pushing a shopping cart toward them, so he and Li Yang hid and prepared to attack if the approaching figure was a ghost.

Yang Jian and Li Yang found Li Lepeng’s head in the supermarket, realizing the man they had met was a fake created through a ghost’s influence.

• A new impostor claiming to be Li Lepeng approached, and Yang Jian had Li Yang shoot him after concluding that the ghost’s victims shared memories.
• Yang Jian chose to seek Mingyue Residential Area, but lights came on and a silent crowd surged into the supermarket, so he and Li Yang fled to the fifth-floor storage room.

Yang Jian and Li Yang confronted a ghost that moved among the people filling the supermarket and attacked through shadows, but they failed to contain it and retreated to the rooftop. Yang Jian chose to stay and deal with the incident, then received a call from someone claiming to be Li Lepeng.

• Yang Jian and Li Yang let the crowd surround them while they tracked a voice that moved from person to person and called Yang Jian's name.
• Yang Jian used the Coffin Nail on a speaking corpse, but the ghost continued speaking through the crowd and the nail did not contain it.
• When the lights revealed shadows, Yang Jian realized the ghost was linked to the Headless Ghost Shadow's missing head, while Li Yang used his ghost to disrupt its attempt to reunite with Yang Jian's shadow.
• The lights went out and the crowd surged, so Yang Jian used the Ghost Hand to knock down the Ghost Slaves and led Li Yang to the rooftop.
• Seeing the supermarket surrounded, Yang Jian refused to leave, told Li Yang to contact Headquarters and call Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen, then answered a call from someone identifying himself as Li Lepeng.

Yang Jian received a call from Li Lepeng, who claimed to be alive and hiding in Mingyue Residential Area while containing another ghost, and Yang Jian remained unsure whether to trust him. As Yang Jian traveled toward the airport to meet his team and the letter carriers, he encountered the bloodied Yang Xiaohua being pursued by shadowless figures.

• Yang Jian spoke with Li Lepeng, who explained that he had tried to tame the Ghostly Shadow Head using his Forgetting Ghost, failed, and hidden in Mingyue Residential Area to contain another ghost.
• Yang Jian classified the threat as the Ghostly Shadow Head, secured Cao Yanhua's agreement to provide a ghost door, three Ghost Candles, and the promised Ghost Scissors, and planned to meet Tong Qian, Xiong Wenwen, and the letter carriers at the airport.

• Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen flew from Dachang City toward Dachuan City, and Tong Qian gave Xiong Wenwen a Ghost Candle for protection.
• Yang Xiaohua intercepted Yang Jian's car, and he stopped after confirming she cast a shadow; several shadowless figures then emerged nearby, ready to attack her.

Yang Jian rescued the badly injured Yang Xiaohua and drove her to the airport, where the ghost that had been tracking them called his name. Yang Jian and Li Yang prepared to confront it while waiting for Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen.

• Yang Xiaohua told Yang Jian that Liu Mingxin was dead and Cai Yu was badly injured and hiding somewhere in Dachuan City.

• Yang Jian and Li Yang decided to deal with the ghost at the airport while awaiting Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen.

• Tong Qian and Xiong Wenwen arrived by plane as vehicles surrounded Yang Jian’s group and cast shadows across the runway.

• As the crowd fell, the shadow behind Li Yi, Guo You, and Liu Qingqing began reversing direction despite the light behind them.

Yang Jian’s team exposed and contained the ghost hiding in Guo You’s shadow at the airport, though Guo You died when the ghost was separated from him. They decided to rest on the private plane before investigating Mingyue Residential Area the next morning.

• Tong Qian’s laughter wiped out the ghost slaves at the airport, but Yang Jian realized the real ghost had not been among them.

As dawn approached, Yang Jian formed a dangerous plan but postponed acting on it until necessary, while the three messengers agreed to join the next day’s expedition.

• Yang Jian told Tong Qian that the coffin nail would remain inside the box and planned to scout the Fierce Ghost Zone with Li Yang the next day.
• Yang Xiaohua asked Yang Jian to help her survive the Ghost Post Office, and he offered to take her into the Fierce Ghost Zone as cannon fodder in return for a promise to get her out if she survived.

• Yang Jian continued considering how to crash the Ghost Shadow’s head and developed a desperate plan whose failure could kill him.
• Li Yi and Liu Qingqing agreed with Yang Xiaohua to enter the Fierce Ghost Zone and fight for their survival.

Yang Jian and four other Ghost Post Office messengers entered Dachuan City’s sealed Fierce Ghost Zone to investigate Mingyue Residential Area and deliver a letter. They found a message from Li Lepeng warning that three ghosts were roaming the area, including the deadly Ghost Seeks People.

• Yang Jian rejected delivering the letter to Room 301 in Building 7 without first learning who would receive it, and the group agreed to follow him into the zone.
• Yang Jian led the others through the abandoned district to Mingyue Residential Area, where he called Li Lepeng’s number and followed the ringtone to a phone left in a red plastic bag.
• Yang Jian found Li Lepeng’s unread message, which warned that three ghosts were searching for him and described the Dreamwalking Ghost’s nighttime threat.
• Yang Jian read that Jiangcheng’s ghost became dangerous after Jiangcheng died, but it posed little threat during the day.
• Yang Jian learned that Zhang Xiaoxiao’s Ghost Seeks People was already roaming nearby and killed anyone it found by seeing them or approaching within several meters.

Yang Jian and his team entered Mingyue Residential Area, where Zhang Xiaoxiao’s smoke-filled Ghost Domain began eroding their bodies. They found a smoke-dried corpse wearing Li Lepeng’s badge, leaving Yang Jian unsure whether the corpse was Li Lepeng or who had contacted him by phone.

• Yang Jian read Li Lepeng’s warning about the Sleepwalking Ghost, the Ghost That Finds People, and an unknown ghost in the Fierce Ghost Zone, then led the group toward Building 7.
• Yang Jian and his companions entered Mingyue Residential Area and found it covered by a smoke-filled Ghost Domain that injured ordinary people with every breath.
• Yang Jian headed toward the third row of apartment buildings while the group searched for Building 7 and tried to avoid attracting the ghost.
• Yang Jian found a charred corpse wearing a Headquarters uniform and discovered the gold badge identified it as Li Lepeng.
• Yang Jian and Li Yang realized they could not identify Li Lepeng by appearance and wondered who had spoken to Yang Jian on the phone the previous day.

Yang Jian and the messengers crossed Mingyue Residential Area after finding a corpse that was likely Li Lepeng, but a ghost hidden in the thick smoke discovered them. They sheltered in an apartment, where the ghost searched for them and began breaking through the bedroom door.

• Yang Jian concluded that the smoke-blackened corpse was probably Li Lepeng's and carried it along as evidence.
• Yang Jian led the group away from their route after detecting that the smoke-hidden ghost was nearby, and Li Yi confirmed its presence with blood from a Glass Bottle.
• Yang Jian brought everyone into an apartment and explained that the ghost's Ghost Domain could deceive their senses.
• The ghost entered the living room, searched for the group, and then approached the bedroom where Li Yang was holding the door.
• The ghost's charred hand scraped the door as thick smoke began seeping inside.

Yang Jian and the others escaped the smoke-filled room where Li Yang held back Ghost Seeking, then found Room 301 and entered its strangely clean, illuminated interior. Li Yang survived the confrontation, but Li Lepeng suddenly spoke to him from the room beside a mummified corpse bearing his name.

• Li Yang struggled to hold Ghost Seeking outside the door, and Yang Jian gave him a Substitute Doll before leading the others out through a window.
• Yang Jian and his companions reached the suspected Building Seven and identified Room 301 on the third floor.
• Yang Jian kicked open Room 301 and found an old, clean room lit by dim yellow light despite the surrounding smoke and darkness.
• Yang Jian entered the room, and Li Yi, Yang Xiaohua, and Liu Qingqing followed him inside.
• Li Yang used the Substitute Doll to escape, then heard someone claiming to be Li Lepeng ask whether he was Yang Jian or Li Yang.

Yang Jian searched Room 301 and found signs that its absent owner may have made Substitute Death Dolls and survived from the Republican Era. After he discovered that the strange infant doll had vanished from its basket, he searched for it and feared it might be among his companions.

• Yang Jian found a strange infant doll in a vegetable basket and judged it to be a Supernatural Item, but covered it again without touching it.
• Yang Jian explored a bedroom and saw materials and an unfinished doll resembling the Substitute Death Dolls, along with a faceless female mannequin, an empty Divine Seat, and a disturbing portrait sketch.
• Yang Jian suspected Room 301 belonged to a woman from the Republican Era and wondered whether the Ghost Post Office's delivery letter was meant for her.
• Yang Jian returned to the living room and asked whether Li Yi, Yang Xiaohua, or Liu Qingqing had touched the basket; they said they had stayed still.
• Yang Jian saw that the basket's cloth had been lifted and the infant doll was gone, so he searched the room and approached his companions to check whether it was with them.

Yang Jian discovered that an upside-down view revealed a fierce ghost beneath the desk in Room 301, holding the missing doll. After the ghost targeted him, he fled with it in pursuit, while Liu Qingqing stayed behind, drawn toward another room by unfamiliar memories.

• Liu Qingqing guessed that the doll was beneath the desk and explained that it could only be seen by looking upside down.
• Yang Jian inverted his view and saw a bruised, pale ghost holding the doll; its backward-installed eyes turned toward him, and the desk began shaking.
• The ghost stood up and advanced on Yang Jian, who warned the others, delivered the letter, and ran from Room 301 with the ghost following him.
• Li Yi and Yang Xiaohua left Room 301, but Liu Qingqing stayed behind, torn between investigating another room and escaping.

Yang Jian was pursued by the invisible ghost from Room 301 and cornered by other ghosts in Mingyue Residential Area. As the ghosts attacked, he unleashed the music box’s curse, expanded his Ghost Domain, and used his hatchet and Ghost Eye to stop their first attacks, though the ghosts remained active.

• Yang Jian fled Room 301 but discovered that the ghost holding the doll was following him, while the smoke-bound ghost that searched for people also closed in.
• Yang Jian found a burned substitute doll and realized the seeker ghost had located him inside its Ghost Domain.
• Li Yang arrived while fleeing Li Lepeng, whom he identified as the third ghost; Yang Jian realized the smoke-darkened area had enabled the sleepwalking ghost to appear during the day.
• Li Yi and Yang Xiaohua burned the Letter Paper to open a path to the Ghost Post Office as the ghosts surrounded Yang Jian and Li Yang.
• The Room 301 ghost paralyzed Yang Jian and reached for him, so he released the music box’s curse and spread his Ghost Domain across Mingyue Residential Area and beyond.
• Yang Jian used the rusty hatchet to sever the Room 301 ghost’s arm and stopped the seeker ghost with his Ghost Eye, but both ghosts remained active.

Yang Jian used the Music Box Curse and his sixth-layer Ghost Domain to suppress the Human-Seeking Ghost, then dismembered the ghost from Room 301. As the Sleepwalking Ghost appeared in Li Lepeng’s form, Yang Jian recognized him as an aberration with a living human’s consciousness, while the hatchet’s curses began to erupt.

• Yang Jian activated the Music Box Curse and used his sixth-layer Ghost Domain to stop the approaching ghosts, astonishing Li Yi, Yang Xiaohua, and Li Yang.
• Yang Jian seized the Human-Seeking Ghost’s true source, a smoke-blackened mummified corpse, and suppressed it with his ghost hand.
• Yang Jian used the hatchet to sever the Room 301 ghost’s limbs and neck, scattering its body and the eerie doll that held its source.
• The Sleepwalking Ghost appeared at a residential building, and Yang Jian identified it as Li Lepeng, an aberration with a living human’s consciousness.
• The Music Box and hatchet curses began erupting within Yang Jian.

Yang Jian endured the ghost chopping knife’s curse after dismantling the evil ghost from Room 301, then used his Ghost Domain and recovering ghost shadow to reassemble himself. He learned that Li Lepeng had controlled several ghosts and was attempting to become an evil ghost while retaining his consciousness, leaving Yang Jian wary as he prepared to strike.

• Yang Jian’s second use of the ghost chopping knife’s curse dismembered his body and ghost shadow, but the Music Box Curse kept his consciousness alive.
• Yang Jian watched his ghost shadow gradually reunite, then used the Ghost Domain to piece his body back together.
• Yang Jian realized that completing the ghost shadow with its missing head could make the chopping knife’s curse easier to endure, and wondered what the rotting corpse at Caesar Hotel had suffered.
• Yang Jian confronted Li Lepeng, who admitted he had succeeded only halfway in controlling the sleepwalking ghost while retaining his consciousness.
• Li Lepeng revealed that the identities of Zhang Xiaoxiao and Jiangcheng were fake and that the searching ghost, ghost smoke, and sleepwalking ghost were all within him.
• Li Lepeng explained that he had pursued the ghost shadow head to replace an evil ghost’s consciousness, while Yang Jian held the chopping knife ready and questioned his motives.

Yang Jian negotiated with Li Lepeng, who explained how he had contained Dachuan City's crisis while trying to become a conscious ghost. After Yang Jian chose not to fight him, the lights in the building containing Room 301 came on, and Yang Jian realized Liu Qingqing might still be inside.

• Li Lepeng explained that he had trapped himself in Mingyue Residential Area and arranged safeguards before attempting to control the ghost.
• Yang Jian considered killing Li Lepeng but decided against fighting him, and Li Lepeng agreed not to cause further trouble.
• Yang Jian and Li Yang secured the doll's limbs and the dried corpse after resolving the immediate danger in Mingyue Residential Area.
• The building containing Room 301 lit up, and Yang Jian spotted a woman in a red qipao who resembled Liu Qingqing.
• Yang Jian realized Liu Qingqing was missing and returned toward Room 301 to investigate.

After delivering the Ghost Post Office letter, Yang Jian returned to Room 301 when the building unexpectedly lit up and changed. He entered alone, where strange music played and his Ghost Domain was suppressed, leaving him to investigate the room on the right.

• The lights came on throughout Building 7 after the letter was delivered, and Yang Jian and Li Yang realized Room 301 had become abnormal again.
• Yang Jian entered the building alone while Li Yang stayed outside to watch for danger.
• On his way upstairs, Yang Jian suspected Liu Qingqing might be connected to the haunting and considered killing her if he confirmed it.
• Yang Jian found Room 301 open and brightly lit, with movement sounds coming from inside.
• When Yang Jian crossed the doorway, an old record player began playing music and his Ghost Domain was disrupted.
• Yang Jian noticed the basket and strange doll were gone, then traced the music to the room where Liu Qingqing had stayed.

Yang Jian used the firewood axe to witness Room 301’s past and discovered that its owner, an elderly woman he might have seen on the supernatural bus, had connections to Old Qin, Liu Qingqing, and the Faceless Puppet. The puppet began moving after the woman drew the face of the woman sought by the Ghost Cabinet, leaving Yang Jian facing an increasingly dangerous mystery.

• Yang Jian found Liu Qingqing and the Faceless Puppet missing from Room 301, along with the source of the strange gramophone-like sound.
• Yang Jian spread his ghost shadow and triggered the firewood axe’s medium to see figures from the room’s past.
• Yang Jian saw an elderly woman—possibly the Room 301 owner and a passenger from the supernatural bus—draw a portrait of a younger Old Qin.
• The elderly woman sensed Yang Jian through the medium and stared at him, but he held back from striking her with the firewood axe.
• Yang Jian saw the woman leave a red cheongsam matching Liu Qingqing’s, then watched her draw a beautiful face on the Faceless Puppet.
• The Faceless Puppet began moving after the woman finished drawing the face of the woman sought by the Ghost Cabinet.
