• Yu Chengzhi met Yang Jian after he emerged from the third area and said he had not expected the news of Yang Jian’s return to be true.

Yang Jian visited the Blind Old Man at the Chinese medicine shop and proposed that hope for the supernatural era might lie in creating a conscious existence between a Ghost Tamer and a fierce ghost. The Blind Old Man recognized this as a possible new path, though what such an existence was remained unanswered.

• Yang Jian reached the closed Chinese medicine shop and prepared to burn it down, believing its owner had died.
• Xiao Ru stopped Yang Jian and revealed that the Blind Old Man had discarded his body and survived as a head sealed in a red box.
• Yang Jian explained that he believed the Blind Old Man’s generation had pursued an impossible combination of supernatural power, human consciousness, and endless lifespan.
• Yang Jian proposed giving human consciousness to an existence between a Ghost Tamer and a fierce ghost rather than to a true ghost.
• The Blind Old Man understood the proposal as a possible new source of hope and described the unknown existence as a supernatural product with limitless possibilities.
