• Yang Jian took a Ghost Candle and other supplies, passed through the roadblock, and drove into the darkness of the Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian entered the expanding Ghost Domain in Dachang City and searched for Jiang Yan, while she and a saleswoman were attacked by a ghost in their car. The Ghost Eye then reacted to a scream from a hotpot restaurant, leaving Yang Jian to face another possible ghost encounter.

• Yang Jian drove into the darkened Ghost Domain and used his Ghost Eye to see through the darkness.
• Jiang Yan kept driving with the saleswoman, believing only Yang Jian could save them, until a ghost opened the passenger door and reached inside.
• Yang Jian found the Rose Bar, saw a corpse hanging upstairs, and drove on to search for Jiang Yan instead of investigating the site.
• The corpse at the bar opened its eyes after Yang Jian left, and the cigar in its mouth briefly glowed.
• Yang Jian heard a scream near a hotpot restaurant, and his Ghost Eye turned toward the building.

Tong Qian tried to protect dozens of survivors from the Door-Knocking Ghost inside a place that was no longer a hotpot restaurant. As her ghost face strained toward revival and the ghost resumed killing, a young man appeared with a lit scarlet candle.

• Tong Qian warned the survivors to stay quiet after a woman screamed, then heard the Door-Knocking Ghost climbing the stairs.
• The Door-Knocking Ghost reached the restaurant and knocked on the glass door, while the exits and windows vanished and the room began to change.
• Tong Qian used the ghost face on the back of her head to stop the knocking, but its laughter threatened to push her toward a ghostly revival.
• After Tong Qian covered the ghost face and the knocking resumed, more survivors died, and she urged the others to escape while she held the ghost back.
• A young man with a gash on his forehead appeared holding a lit scarlet candle and warned Tong Qian that her actions could create another ghost.

• Tong Qian recognized Yang Jian, who explained that he had appeared after seeing her risk her life to save the survivors.
• Yang Jian approached the Door-Knocking Ghost with the Ghost Candle, forcing it to stop knocking and retreat.
• Yang Jian gave Tong Qian one minute to guide survivors through the exit and warned her that the Ghost Domain could distort what they saw.
• Tong Qian struggled to move the terrified survivors, then left with several of them when Yang Jian began to depart.
• The survivors left behind died as the candlelight receded, and the old man walked away while the Ghost Domain persisted.

Yang Jian and Tong Qian argued over whether he should have risked more to save survivors, then set aside their dispute when they encountered a possible Ghost Slave. Yang Jian continued through the Ghost Domain to find Jiang Yan, who was trapped on an endless highway.

• Tong Qian accused Yang Jian of holding back, and he defended his decision to prioritize his own survival and bargain for benefits.
• Tong Qian thanked Yang Jian for saving her but urged him to rescue more people, while he told her to stay out of Dachang City.
• The group spotted a motionless figure beneath a streetlight, but Yang Jian chose to avoid it rather than waste power fighting a possible Ghost Slave.
• Yang Jian called Jiang Yan and learned that she was driving endlessly along a highway inside the Ghost Domain, so he said he would try to find her.
• Yang Jian concluded that the Ghost Domain had expanded and that using his own Ghost Domain could force him out again.

Yang Jian left Tong Qian and the survivors to search for Jiang Yan, threatening Tong Qian when she tried to stop him. As he rode through the Ghost Domain, he found the same stiff figure beneath another streetlight, and his ghost candle reacted violently as he approached.

• Yang Jian refused Tong Qian's request to help the survivors and threatened to shoot her when she blocked his bicycle.
• After Yang Jian rode away, Tong Qian faced the survivors' criticism and worried about his dangerous nature.
• Yang Jian judged Tong Qian too idealistic to be a reliable teammate and considered searching for Jiang Yan before giving up and leaving.
• Yang Jian spotted the stiff figure beneath another lit streetlight and rode toward it with a ghost candle burning.
• The ghost candle flared and burned rapidly, so Yang Jian stopped and backed away.

Yang Jian searched the Ghost Domain for Jiang Yan while discovering that the ghost beneath a streetlamp was far more dangerous than he had assumed and remained in reality. He found Jiang Yan’s car and a transformed Qian Wanhao beside it, then tried to rouse her from her hallucination.

• Yang Jian realized the ghost beneath the streetlamp was outside the Ghost Domain and retreated when his ghost candle burned dangerously fast.
• Zhao Kaiming tried to kill himself, but the gun repeatedly jammed; after learning his father had died, he chose to keep living and fight the ghosts.
• Yang Jian searched the Ghost Domain by bicycle and spotted Jiang Yan’s car with its headlights on.
• Yang Jian found Qian Wanhao, now a rotting Ghost Slave, and used the ghost candle’s light to keep him away.
