• Yang Jian realized the approaching figure had followed the hatchet's medium and charged it before it could fully reveal itself.

• Zhang Lei woke with a distorted face and body, confirmed his power was under control, and said he could not leave while his city lacked a qualified person in charge.

• Li Lepeng agreed to test Yang Jian’s proposal overnight, but Yang Jian returned with a red ghost candle to find him gone and discovered that he had forgotten Li Lepeng’s face.
• Yang Jian realized Li Lepeng had lost control during the danger period and tried to leave as Ghost Smoke spread from the villa and the Searcher Ghost’s killing pattern locked onto him.
• Li Lepeng appeared in a sleepwalking state and triggered a death curse on Yang Jian, while the Forgetting Ghost made Yang Jian forget how to restart himself.
• Yang Jian used the Ghost Lake to trap Li Lepeng, and the vicious dog in his memories helped restore the memories the Forgetting Ghost had erased.
• Yang Jian checked the time, saw that only five minutes had passed, and waited as Li Lepeng remained submerged in the water.
