• Yang Jian and Zhang Wei entered the overgrown house, and Yang Jian sensed something unsettling on the second floor.
• Two livestreamers appeared in the house, and Zhang Wei chased and beat Brother Hu after recognizing him.
• Yang Jian found a gold door concealed beneath rusted iron sheeting and suspected the rooms had been built to contain something dangerous.
• Yang Jian examined a thick copper door and an unlocked wooden door, then found that the wooden room was only about five square meters inside.
• Yang Jian reconsidered his theory that the rooms had imprisoned ghosts and wondered whether they had held something else.

Yang Jian discovered that the mirror in the first room was a dangerous supernatural object containing many ghosts, though he suspected the residence’s builder had preserved it for a purpose. He left the room to deal with Zhang Wei and Brother Hu, who were still fighting downstairs.

• Yang Jian entered the first room and found a mirror that did not reflect him, along with tools and clues linking it to missing construction workers.

• Yang Jian ended his livestream, but Zhang Wei took over and forced Brother Hu to publicly humiliate himself as revenge for secretly filming him.

• Yang Jian told Zhang Wei to stand before the Ghost Mirror, but Zhang Wei’s reflection did not appear.
• A pale arm emerged in the mirror, and Yang Jian told Zhang Wei to stay still while the ghost approached.

He left with the mirror, warned Zhang Xiangui that Zhang Wei’s connection to the ghost remained, and urged him to repair and conceal the old house.

• Yang Jian had Zhang Wei stand before the Ghost Mirror and watched the ghost imitate Zhang Wei’s elaborate hand signs.

• Zhang Xiangui agreed to supervise repairs and proposed building a temple around the old house; Yang Jian warned Zhang Wei’s uncle not to touch the mirror and said the construction site could reopen.

Yang Jian settled into his new home, stocked up on supernatural tools, and confirmed that the ghost inside the ghost mirror could not escape unless another mirror reflected it. Uneasy about the old residence’s three rooms, he questioned the human skin paper, but it only repeated what he already knew.

• Yang Jian told Jiang Yan that he owned forty percent of the residential complex and assigned her to work as an accountant at Zhang Xiangui’s sales office.

• The human skin paper described finding the ghost mirror in the third room but provided no information Yang Jian did not already know.

Yang Jian learned that the ghost mirror could bring back the dead at the cost of releasing a ghost, while the parchment warned him against opening two rooms in the old house. Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at Yang Jian’s residence with Ye Feng and a dangerous supernatural object, intending to kill him.

• The parchment revealed that the ghost mirror could resurrect the dead in a limited sense, but doing so would release a ghost from inside it.
• The parchment warned Yang Jian that opening the other two rooms in the old house could unleash a terrible disaster, but he suspected it was trying to mislead him.

• Wang Xiaoqiang showed Ye Feng a withered, distorted finger, a dangerous derivative of the ghost candle, and declared that Yang Jian would die.
• Wang Xiaoqiang and his group entered Guangjiang Residential Area openly to carry out their operation.

• Wang Xiaoqiang ordered his operatives to locate Yang Jian quietly and kill anyone who might reveal their mission, while Ye Feng stayed back to avoid a direct confrontation.
• Daisy and Kong Feng questioned the sales office staff and learned that Yang Jian was likely at the former sales office, now a manor villa.
• Jiang Yan suspected the visitors were trouble but dismissed her concerns and returned to work.
• Zhang Wei livestreamed as he followed Kong Feng’s group, so Kong Feng ordered Ah Hai to stop him.
• Ah Hai smashed Zhang Wei’s phone, stabbed him in the neck, and dragged him into the greenery, but Zhang Wei came back with a handgun and shot Ah Hai several times before collapsing again.
• Kong Feng concluded that Ah Hai could not be saved and ordered the others to hide the body and proceed with the Three-Stage Hunt Plan.

Yang Jian pulled Zhang Wei alive out of the Ghost Mirror and learned that the mirror had resurrected an earlier version of him at the cost of releasing a ghost. After hearing gunshots in the residential complex, Yang Jian sent Zhang Wei to hide and left to investigate.

• Yang Jian saw Zhang Wei struggling to escape the Ghost Mirror and grabbed his arm as the mirror's hands dragged him back.

Yang Jian confronted Ye Feng, who had secretly used the conversation to help Wang Xiaoqiang restrain Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain. Yang Jian attacked Wang Xiaoqiang, but Ye Feng stopped him by revealing the eerie burial garment that protected him from ghostly attacks.

• Ye Feng tried to persuade Yang Jian to rejoin the Xiaoqiang Club, but Yang Jian refused and vowed to kill him, Wang Xiaoqiang, and Zhao Kaiming.
• Yang Jian realized Wang Xiaoqiang’s withered finger was restricting his Ghost Domain and appeared beside Wang Xiaoqiang to attack him.
• Wang Xiaoqiang exposed the decomposed corpse hidden beneath his human skin, and Yang Jian used his ghost shadow to tear off Wang Xiaoqiang’s face.
• Ye Feng grabbed the ghost shadow, but it could not possess him, and he revealed that his burial garment protected him from other ghosts.

Yang Jian used the Ghost Rope to counter Ye Feng after learning that Ye Feng's ghost shroud and unknown second ghost made him difficult to harm. The revived rope filled the Ghost Domain and left both men facing its attacks.

• Ye Feng advanced on Yang Jian, confident that Yang Jian had exhausted his abilities, while blood dripped from beneath his shroud.
• Yang Jian shifted his restricted Ghost Domain into a nearby villa and retrieved the Ghost Rope from a sealed golden bag.
• Ye Feng pursued Yang Jian and blocked two gunshots with his Ghost Shroud.
• Yang Jian tore open the bag and threw the Ghost Rope at Ye Feng, who recognized it and tried to discard it.
• Ghost Ropes appeared throughout the Ghost Domain, attacking both men as Yang Jian declared that Ye Feng would die first.

Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain and a ghost candle to outlast Ye Feng, whose burial shroud protected him from the ghost ropes but steadily hastened his own revival. As the ropes filled the road, Ye Feng began forcing his way toward Yang Jian, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Yang Jian and Ye Feng argued over whose ghosts would revive first, and Yang Jian said his Ghost Domain could send Ye Feng's escaping ghost far away if he died.
• Ghost ropes surrounded both men, but the burial shroud deflected the ropes that landed on Ye Feng while its power continued turning him into a corpse.
• Yang Jian lit a ghost candle that kept the ropes away from him, and Ye Feng realized the candle could burn for at least an hour.
• Yang Jian taunted Ye Feng about the candle and suggested trading the burial shroud for one, while Ye Feng's body continued to deteriorate beneath it.
• Ye Feng pushed through the ghost ropes and started walking toward Yang Jian, who waited more than a hundred meters away.
