• Li Yang asked about the post office’s unresolved mysteries, but Yang Jian said they did not need to pursue them now.

Sun Rui investigated the remnants of the Ghost Post Office, discovering a warning from Tian Xiaoyue and that her corpse shared an administrator’s authority. Yang Jian returned to Dachang City, brought Wang Yong into his team, and asked Liu Xiaoyu to investigate what had happened at Headquarters.

• Liu Xiaoyu invited Yang Jian to dinner, and he agreed.

After returning from the Ghost Post Office, Yang Jian settled in at home while Li Yang’s two ghosts began reviving. Li Yang grafted the Door-Opening Ghost’s arm onto himself to resist the Blocking Door ghost, and the chapter left him alive as the three ghosts slowly approached a new balance.

• Yang Jian returned to Guangjiang Residential Area, where Xiong Wenwen mocked him and insisted he honor his promise to date Liu Xiaoyu’s mother.

• Li Yang took out the Door-Opening Ghost’s withered arm, which let him resist the Blocking Door ghost and briefly regain movement.
• Li Yang cut off his own arm and stitched on the withered one, enduring the three ghosts’ supernatural forces as they began forming a new balance.

Liu Xiaoyu invited Yang Jian to dinner, and he took her to the fading snack street beside his old high school. Their meal was interrupted by Xiong Wenwen, who headed out with Chen Shumei to find Yang Jian.

• Liu Xiaoyu left work early, changed into her twin-ponytail outfit, and called Yang Jian to remind him about dinner.
• Yang Jian appeared in Liu Xiaoyu’s room and took her to the snack street beside the abandoned school where the Knocking Ghost Incident had occurred.
• Yang Jian and Liu Xiaoyu ate fried noodles while he recalled his former classmates, and the shop owner told them the street’s remaining businesses would soon close.
• Xiong Wenwen called Yang Jian during dinner, then set off with Chen Shumei to find him after assuming Yang Jian had stood him up.

Li Yang survived the fusion with a third ghost and discovered that his door-opening curse could destroy doors and kill people nearby. Yang Jian ate with Liu Xiaoyu, but their outing was interrupted when Xiong Wenwen and Chen Shumei arrived to find him.

• Li Yang adapted to the ghost arm sewn onto him and found that his ghosts had settled into a temporary balance.
• Li Yang tested the arm, discovering that it shattered an ordinary door and twisted a steel security door apart.
• The curse spread to nearby lights, and Li Yang realized it could kill anyone close to a door he opened, so he returned inside to clean up and arrange for replacement doors.
• Yang Jian finished eating noodles with Liu Xiaoyu, who asked him to show her around Dachang City.
• Xiong Wenwen and Chen Shumei arrived by car and confronted Yang Jian and Liu Xiaoyu outside the shop.

Yang Jian took Liu Xiaoyu, Chen Shumei, and Xiong Wenwen sightseeing in Dachang City, but their evening by the river revealed signs that the Ghost Lake’s supernatural influence was spreading. He brought everyone home safely and planned to continue documenting the Ghost Post Office Incident.

• Xiong Wenwen brought Chen Shumei to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian turned his meal with Liu Xiaoyu into a group outing around Dachang City.
• By the river, Liu Xiaoyu and Chen Shumei discussed their feelings for Yang Jian and their lack of an opportunity to get closer to him.
• After a splash startled them, Yang Jian found wet footprints and used his Ghost Eye to see a pale corpse standing upright beneath the river’s surface.
• Yang Jian judged the corpse to be a victim of supernatural contamination, warned the others to stay away from the water, and took them home.
• After the group left, a figure repeatedly tried to emerge from the river at different points along the bank, while Yang Jian prepared to have Zhang Liqin document the Ghost Post Office Incident.

Yang Jian reassured Zhang Liqin that he would protect her from supernatural dangers, while Miao Xiaoshan and her roommates set out to stop students from playing a dangerous Spirit Summoning game. The hallway lights went out as they headed downstairs.

• Zhang Liqin finished recording Yang Jian’s account and admitted she feared knowing too much about the supernatural.
• Yang Jian told Zhang Liqin he had not altered her memories and promised she would be safe.
• Miao Xiaoshan read Zhang Wei’s message that Yang Jian had gone on a date with Liu Xiaoyu and felt upset.
• Liu Zi and Sun Yujia told Miao Xiaoshan that students downstairs were playing Spirit Summoning, and the three decided to stop them.
• The hallway lights flickered and went out as Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia walked downstairs.

Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia thought a dormitory blackout signaled a supernatural incident, so Miao Xiaoshan lit the ghost candle Yang Jian had given her. After they learned the blackout was a prank, the candle began behaving strangely, and Miao Xiaoshan decided they still needed to investigate before returning to the dorm.

• When the dormitory lights went out and screams sounded downstairs, Miao Xiaoshan returned to her room and retrieved Yang Jian's ghost candle.
• Miao Xiaoshan lit the candle and led Liu Zi and Sun Yujia downstairs, while its green flame burned unusually slowly.
• The three encountered a young couple, and the young man explained that students had staged the blackout as part of a prank to court girls.
• Miao Xiaoshan decided they could return to their dorm, but she noticed the candle flame expanding and shrinking as if it were breathing.
• Miao Xiaoshan chose to keep the candle lit and investigate the building, telling the young man to go with them to turn on the lights.

Miao Xiaoshan and her friends discovered that the dormitory’s strange blackouts were part of a real paranormal incident, not a prank. After students fled and bodies appeared in the stairwell, the ghost candle flared as an unseen ghost passed them, leaving the three girls convinced a ghost was hunting in the building.

• Miao Xiaoshan and the others restored the power, and Liu Zi confronted Wan Hao and the other students for frightening them with their summoning game.
• The hallway lights flickered out and returned, and a bloodied female student fled an apartment, announcing that someone had died.
• The lights failed again as the students rushed to escape, but they found Yang Zifeng dead in the stairwell; his body twitched, driving them back upstairs.
• After a third blackout, Miao Xiaoshan lit the ghost candle, whose flame swelled as footsteps hurried past the three girls and disappeared.
• Miao Xiaoshan concluded that a ghost had passed them, and Liu Zi and Sun Yujia realized the paranormal danger was real.

Miao Xiaoshan confirmed that a ghost was haunting the building and tried to lead a group of students out with her ghost candle. Wan Hao stole the candle and fled with the others, leaving Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia behind as heavy footsteps approached from upstairs.

• Miao Xiaoshan realized the ghost had passed nearby after the candle flared, and she led Liu Zi and Sun Yujia down the stairs.
• Yang Zifeng's corpse appeared in a different stairwell, trapping and panicking the students as the lights flickered out.
• Wan Hao and the other students found Miao Xiaoshan and followed her, hoping the ghost candle would protect them.
• Miao Xiaoshan warned the group that the ghost was drawing closer and handed the candle to Liu Zi while she messaged Yang Jian for help.
• Wan Hao shoved Liu Zi down, seized the ghost candle, and fled with the students, abandoning Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia.
• Miao Xiaoshan silenced Liu Zi and Sun Yujia as heavy footsteps rapidly descended from upstairs, though no one was visible.

Yang Jian responded to Miao Xiaoshan’s plea for help and rescued her, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia from an invisible ghost. After learning that Wan Hao had stolen their ghost candle and abandoned them, Yang Jian brought the women outside and treated Miao Xiaoshan’s injured foot.

• Miao Xiaoshan led Liu Zi and Sun Yujia away from the stairs, but the unseen ghost followed them into the corridor and approached as the lights went out.
• Yang Jian appeared in a scarlet glow, causing the ghost to retreat, then carried Miao Xiaoshan and brought all three women outside.
• Liu Zi told Yang Jian that Wan Hao had stolen their ghost candle and left them behind, while Miao Xiaoshan explained that her foot had been injured in the confusion.
• Yang Jian reset Miao Xiaoshan’s dislocated joint using ordinary bone-setting techniques.
• A panicked group began leaving the building with a red candle burning green in front of them.

After escaping the haunted building, Yang Jian confronted Wan Hao for stealing Miao Xiaoshan’s ghost candle and began crushing him in public. Gao Ming intervened to take Wan Hao into custody, while Yang Jian left with Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia.

• Wan Hao tried to leave with Miao Xiaoshan’s ghost candle, but Liu Zi and Sun Yujia appeared and exposed him.
• Yang Jian confronted Wan Hao, rejected his excuses and the students’ false testimony, and struck him before recovering the candle.
• Yang Jian began crushing Wan Hao, but Gao Ming arrived and suggested taking him for interrogation and an official report.
• Gao Ming carried the unconscious Wan Hao away on his motorcycle, while Yang Jian warned the students who had defended him that they would face consequences.
• Yang Jian carried Miao Xiaoshan away and took Liu Zi and Sun Yujia with him to find somewhere else to live.

Yang Jian brought Miao Xiaoshan and her classmates to his villa, where he checked that the ghost painting remained contained before letting them stay. At Headquarters, Cao Yanhua learned of Yang Jian’s rapid arrival and ordered the students who stole ghost candles to be dealt with according to the rules.

• Yang Jian took Miao Xiaoshan, Liu Zi, and Sun Yujia to his villa and checked the sealed rooms for danger.
• Yang Jian found the safe room open but confirmed the ghost painting was still inside, covered it, and resealed the room.
• Yang Jian let Miao Xiaoshan and her classmates settle into the villa and gave her the keys.
• Headquarters received a report that Yang Jian had traveled from Dachang City to the scene in three minutes after Miao Xiaoshan sent a distress signal.
• Cao Yanhua rejected the suggestion that Yang Jian had retaliated against the students and ordered the adults who stole ghost candles to be dealt with according to the rules.

Miao Xiaoshan went to Yang Jian’s room after Liu Zi and Sun Yujia urged her to pursue him, and she confessed that she wanted to be his girlfriend. Yang Jian warned that his life as a Ghost Tamer would bring her pain, but Miao Xiaoshan refused to let the uncertain future keep them apart, leaving him conflicted.

• Liu Zi and Sun Yujia pushed Miao Xiaoshan to visit Yang Jian and make their relationship official.
• Miao Xiaoshan went to Yang Jian’s room, where he was keeping watch over the sealed Ghost Painting.
• Miao Xiaoshan hugged Yang Jian and asked to be his girlfriend.
• Yang Jian tried to reject her, explaining that Ghost Tamers faced short, dangerous lives and that getting close to him would hurt her.
• Miao Xiaoshan said she had already chosen to face the risks and insisted that Yang Jian take her to a room to rest.

Gao Ming investigated the deaths caused by Yang Zifeng and learned that a mysterious girl had given him a wish-granting sticker. Yang Zifeng died in a supernatural accident, and Gao Ming reported the case to Yang Jian, who considered searching for the girl.

• Gao Ming entered the sealed apartment building and traced the supernatural deaths to Yang Zifeng, who admitted killing boys he blamed for harming his girlfriend.
• Yang Zifeng told Gao Ming that a little girl had given him a sticker that granted his wish to become a vicious ghost for an hour.
• As Gao Ming escorted Yang Zifeng downstairs, a ghost appeared in Gao Ming's vision and Yang Zifeng fell to his death; the sticker vanished.
• Gao Ming sent Yang Jian a report about Yang Zifeng and the wish-granting stickers while Yang Jian rested beside Miao Xiaoshan.
• Yang Jian read the message and considered using his Ghost Domain to find the girl in the dress.

Yang Jian agreed to investigate Gao Ming’s report about Yang Zifeng’s wish-granting sticker and arrived at Gao Ming’s workplace, where he reunited with Zhang Lei and learned how a Ghost Messenger painting was temporarily suppressing the ghost inside him. He then met Qin Meirou and asked Gao Ming to explain what had happened to Yang Zifeng.

• Yang Jian decided to visit Gao Ming after Miao Xiaoshan encouraged him to look into the unusual wish-granting supernatural power, and he warned her to stay away from the contained Ghost Painting.
• Yang Jian arrived at Gao Ming’s workplace, where Zhang Lei recognized him and explained that a Ghost Messenger painting on his back was temporarily suppressing his ghost’s resurgence.
• Yang Jian learned that the painting’s suppression would eventually fail and that Zhang Lei might need to control a second ghost to survive.
• Gao Ming welcomed Yang Jian, who said he was interested in the wish-granting sticker and the girl in the dress rather than promising to take responsibility for the case.
• Yang Jian met Qin Meirou in Gao Ming’s office, ordered her to bring him a cold Coke, and asked Gao Ming what had happened to Yang Zifeng.

Yang Jian investigated Yang Zifeng’s death and the mysterious wish-granting girl with Gao Ming, then used his Ghost Domain to find her. When the girl’s ghost interfered with his vision, Yang Jian took Gao Ming directly to the alley where she was hiding.

• Gao Ming told Yang Jian that Yang Zifeng had died after a ghost appeared beside him, and Yang Jian agreed to investigate in exchange for Gao Ming protecting Miao Xiaoshan.
• Qin Meirou showed Yang Jian surveillance footage of a girl whose presence disrupted the recording, and Yang Jian reasoned that her wishes might make her judge people as good or bad and trigger her ghost’s attack.
• Yang Jian spread his three-layer Ghost Domain across the city and narrowed his search to a girl matching the footage.
• Yang Jian found the girl eating bread in a dim alley, but the fierce ghost fused with her detected him and blocked his vision.
• Yang Jian brought Gao Ming to the alley, where they saw no one despite knowing the girl and ghost were there.

Yang Jian and Gao Ming found the sleeping girl and the curse-bound ghost protecting her, but the ghost’s supernatural power prevented them from approaching. When Yang Jian tried to seize the girl, Zhao Kaiming’s figure appeared among the linked curses, and a thread began connecting Yang Jian to the girl as she stirred awake.

• Gao Ming chose to continue investigating the girl despite the danger, and Yang Jian used increasingly powerful Ghost Domains to reveal her and the ghost beside her.
• Yang Jian and Gao Ming saw the girl asleep in the alley with a shadowy ghost, which noticed them but remained still while she slept.
• Gao Ming moved closer, triggering the girl’s protective wish; Yang Jian pulled him back as the alley and its occupants began to disappear.
• Yang Jian used a six-layer Ghost Domain to reach the girl, but supernatural hands seized his arm and figures including Zhao Kaiming appeared around her.
• Yang Jian saw curse-like threads linking the figures, the ghost, and the girl, then watched a thread emerge from his own body toward her as she began to wake.

Yang Jian discovered that Zhao Xiaoya, Zhao Kaiming’s daughter, was protected by a ghost that cursed people who approached her, and learned that her wishes had killed many of her relatives. Unable to approach Zhao Xiaoya himself, he created Liu Siyue to gain her trust and lead her away from populated areas, then kept the wish-granting sticker for possible future use.

• Yang Jian failed to reach the sleeping Zhao Xiaoya and found that a ghost’s supernatural figures and curse could resist his sixth-layer Ghost Domain.
• Yang Jian obtained Zhao Kaiming’s files and identified the little girl as Zhao Xiaoya, concluding that her wishes had cost the lives of one relative per wish and that Yang Zifeng had died because of her later wish.
• Yang Jian used the Liar Ghost to revive Liu Siyue with altered memories, allowing her to approach Zhao Xiaoya despite Yang Jian and Gao Ming being unable to see her.
• Liu Siyue gained Zhao Xiaoya’s trust by promising to help find her parents, and Zhao Xiaoya gave her a wish-granting sticker.
• Yang Jian watched Liu Siyue take Zhao Xiaoya across the road and instructed her to keep the girl away from major cities, while he kept the sticker.

Yang Jian settled the arrangement to monitor Liu Siyue and stabilize Zhao Xiaoya, then went to Ghost Tamer Headquarters at Cao Yanhua’s request. There, he discovered that the golden statue in the lobby preserved the aging Old Qin, who had sealed himself inside to delay his death.

• Yang Jian warned Gao Ming not to pursue Zhao Xiaoya’s wish-granting power and demanded that he protect Miao Xiaoshan.
• Gao Ming told Yang Jian that Cao Yanhua wanted to see him, and Yang Jian agreed to visit Headquarters to collect what he was owed.
• Qin Meirou picked up Yang Jian and drove him to Ghost Tamer Headquarters, where she escorted him toward Cao Yanhua’s office.
• Yang Jian noticed a golden statue whose material the Ghost Eye could not see through and reasoned that it contained a Ghost Tamer who had chosen to seal himself inside.
• Shen Liang confirmed that the statue held Old Qin, who was sleeping by his own request because age and his condition threatened to bring about his death.
