Chapter Summaries

Yang Jian and Ye Zhen faced the Ghost Ship’s supernatural restrictions failing as darkness swallowed the deck and released the ghosts aboard. Yang Jian discovered that several ghosts were drawn to a copper coin and fought them off while waiting for the ghost in white to become tangible.

• Ye Zhen said his puppet corpse had warned that the deck was the most dangerous place, but Yang Jian refused to enter the cabins because they needed to escape from the deck when the Ghost Ship surfaced.
• The darkness engulfed the ship as its supernatural power weakened, leaving Yang Jian and Ye Zhen unable to see or sense each other and allowing the ghosts aboard to move without restraint.
• Yang Jian found that the Ghost Lake could not help him escape, then used ghost fire and observed that a ghost in white moved closer whenever he blinked.
• Yang Jian threw a copper coin to force the ghost in white to manifest, but several other ghosts were drawn to it as well.
• Yang Jian severed a crawling ghost’s extending head, burned another ghost with ghost fire, and pinned a mud-covered arm with his spear while the ghost in white reached toward the coin.

Yang Jian fought off the Ghost Ship’s prowling ghosts, dismembering one with the hatchet and enduring repeated supernatural attacks. He and Ye Zhen remained alive, but Yang Jian suspected that far more terrifying ghosts had yet to appear.

• Yang Jian used the copper coin to draw a faceless fierce ghost into reality, then dismembered it and threw one half overboard.
• Yang Jian saw a fierce ghost extinguish the ghost fire and escape, leaving charred remains behind.
• A ghost attacked Yang Jian’s consciousness, but the vicious dog in his memories drove it away.
• Another ghost struck Yang Jian and shattered his ghost-shadow defense, after which he continued fighting and dismembering ghosts in the darkness.
• Yang Jian used repeated restarts and the Ghost Scissors to survive escalating attacks, while Ye Zhen relied on his Substitute Ghost to redirect attacks.
• Yang Jian and Ye Zhen called out to each other from the darkness, both still alive as Yang Jian anticipated more dangerous ghosts aboard the ship.

The captains agreed to exchange the Manor Owner's head for information that could locate the Ghost Ship, despite concerns that the King Organization might be setting a trap. The deal left Wang Guoqiang with an authentic nautical chart and Anna with the Manor Owner's head, though she vanished before confirming the exchange was complete.

• The captains voted to proceed with the secret deal, and Lu Zhiwen took responsibility while Li Yang arranged contact with Wang Yong.
• Wang Guoqiang entered a sealed room carrying the Manor Owner's head, where Anna appeared through the darkness to make the exchange.
• Anna gave Wang Guoqiang an old nautical chart that revealed the Ghost Ship would next appear near Dadong City, and he verified that it was genuine.
• Wang Guoqiang handed Anna the case containing the Manor Owner's head, and she disappeared into the darkness with it.
• The captains entered the room after Anna vanished, finding Wang Guoqiang holding the chart and the case left open.

Yang Jian struggled to survive the Ghost Ship’s relentless attacks, nearing the limit of his restart ability as the ghosts continued to multiply. Ye Zhen joined forces with him, easing the pressure on both of them, but the danger on the deck kept growing.

• Yang Jian calculated that after enduring the ghosts for about twenty minutes, he had only ten minutes before his restart ability reached its limit.
• A ghost struck Yang Jian with a blood-covered iron bar, and he restarted before other ghosts could tear him apart.
• Yang Jian fought off several ghosts with his hatchet, ghost hands, and ghost fire, but successive attacks forced him to restart again.
• Ye Zhen called to Yang Jian for help, admitting that he could not hold out alone and had only about three minutes left.
• Yang Jian and Ye Zhen teamed up, with Yang Jian guarding the front and Ye Zhen guarding the rear, reducing the attacks on them both.

Yang Jian and Ye Zhen endured the Ghost Ship’s relentless attacks until the darkness began to disperse and the ship returned to reality. They escaped using their Ghost Domains, but Yang Jian noticed that the Ghost Ship remained in reality longer than expected.

• Yang Jian and Ye Zhen fought together against the Ghosts, though the constant attacks gradually wore them down.
• When the attacks suddenly stopped, Yang Jian suspected something inside the cabin had intervened, and the pair used the respite to recover.
• Impacts shook the ship as reality emerged around it, and Yang Jian stopped Ye Zhen from jumping before the boundary between worlds had settled.
• The Ghost Ship’s power subdued the ghosts on deck and dragged the dangerous presence in the cabin back inside.
• Once the ship fully returned to reality, Ye Zhen jumped first and Yang Jian followed, and they escaped the sea using their Ghost Domains.
• Yang Jian looked back and sensed that the Ghost Ship was staying in reality longer than it should.

Yang Jian and the other captains tried to stop the Ghost Ship before it reached Dadong City, using the Wang family's pendulum clock to shift it out of sync with reality. The clock rang and Yang Jian vanished, but the Ghost Ship remained and kept moving toward shore.

• Yang Jian warned the captains that the Ghost Ship was heading for Dadong City and that the King Organization might be carrying out the Ark Plan.
• Lu Zhiwen reported that the captains had traded the plantation owner's head for a nautical chart that could predict the Ghost Ship's location five minutes ahead.
• The captains rejected combined attacks and soul summoning as unreliable, while Wang Chaling proposed using the pendulum clock to remove the Ghost Ship from reality.
• Yang Jian brought out the pendulum clock as He Yuelian prepared to move nearby residents into the ghost painting if the ship reached land.
• Yang Jian turned the clock's time back by half an hour, but after it rang and he vanished with the clock, the Ghost Ship remained and continued forward.

The captains failed to stop the Ghost Ship from landing, so He Yuelian moved Dadong City's residents into the Ghost Painting world while Yang Jian left to prepare another plan. The Ghost Ship disappeared to change course, and Yang Jian waited for a supernatural bus in a northern city.

• The supernatural pendulum clock failed to affect the Ghost Ship, and the captains realized they had no reliable way to stop it.
• He Yuelian transferred Dadong City's residents into the Ghost Painting world to protect them from the approaching ship.
• The captains debated countermeasures, and Yang Jian returned and said they might have to summon spirits and break Old Qin's statue if his next attempt failed.
• Yang Jian left and told the captains to track the Ghost Ship with the nautical chart and report its location.
• The Ghost Ship vanished into the mist, apparently changing course, while Yang Jian waited for a supernatural bus in a small northern city.

Yang Jian took control of the supernatural bus and headed toward Dadong City, while the captains learned the Ghost Ship would appear in Dahai City and rushed there. The King Organization had already attacked the Supernatural Forum, and Ye Zhen confronted Killer after A Wu was killed.

• Yang Jian cleared the supernatural bus of its human passengers, took the driver's seat, and drove it onto a supernatural road toward Dadong City.
• The captains saw the Ghost Ship appear on the nautical chart at coordinates in Dahai City and mobilized to meet it, with Ye Zhen rushing ahead.
• The King Organization's Killer attacked the Supernatural Forum's building and dropped A Wu from its upper floors.
• Ye Zhen tried to save A Wu with his Ghost Domain, but supernatural interference blocked him, and A Wu fell to his death.
• Ye Zhen saw A Wu's body, flew into a rage, and charged into the building to kill Killer.

After A Wu's murder, Ye Zhen stormed the Supernatural Forum building and slaughtered members of the King Organization using his Substitute Ghost and Ghost Domain. As the remaining attackers struggled to counter him, the King codenamed Killer approached from a hidden patch of darkness with a supernatural dagger.

• A Wu's murder enraged Ye Zhen, who charged into the Supernatural Forum building where three squads led by Killer were waiting.
• Ye Zhen's ghost-faced sword blinded and cursed several Ghost Tamers, and he killed others as he attacked the King Organization members.
• The squad members discovered that Ye Zhen could transfer supernatural attacks onto nearby teammates, leaving them afraid to attack him.
• Killer watched from a patch of darkness beyond Ye Zhen's notice and decided to disable his supernatural power before killing him.
• Killer drew close to Ye Zhen while carrying a supernatural dagger made from a ghost's arm.

Ye Zhen used the Substitute Ghost to kill most of the King squads while searching for the murderer who had killed A Wu. Killer ambushed him and seemed to kill him, but Ye Zhen revived with the help of another ghost and trapped Killer in his Ghost Domain.

• Ye Zhen transferred the damage from his sword and hand to the hiding Ghost Tamers, killing many members of the King squads.
• Killer appeared behind Ye Zhen and stabbed him with a strange dagger that suppressed his supernatural power.
• Killer blocked Ye Zhen’s weakened counterattack, smashed his head, and declared him dead as the remaining three squad members gathered around.
• Killer began retreating as the Headquarters captains approached Dahai City, but Ye Zhen suddenly moved and unleashed his Ghost Domain.
• Ye Zhen reappeared unharmed and revealed that the doll corpse ghost from the Ghost Ship had allowed him to survive, then attacked Killer.

Ye Zhen overwhelmed the King codenamed Killer while Liu San and the Headquarters captains intercepted the King Organization squad’s fleeing members. The battle left one member captured, another torn apart by Wang Chaling’s ghosts, and the last surrendering to a group of captains.

• Ye Zhen attacked the King codenamed Killer with a barrage of supernatural powers, severely injuring him and then pummeling him to suppress his recovery.
• The three remaining members of the King’s squad fled while Ye Zhen continued fighting Killer.
• Liu San and Lu Zhiwen intercepted one fugitive, and Liu San’s paper figures surrounded him so he could be kept alive for questioning.
• Wang Chaling confronted another fugitive in an alley and ordered his ghosts to tear the man apart when he tried to escape.
• Lin Bei, Zhou Deng, He Yin'er, Li Lepeng, and the Faceless Man blocked the final fugitive, who collapsed and surrendered.

The Headquarters captains arrived in Dahai City as the Ghost Ship’s appearance neared, and Wang Chaling intervened after Killer escaped Ye Zhen. The King was torn apart but remained alive, and Ye Zhen moved to finish him.

• The captains captured two King Organization members and learned that no reinforcements were coming while Ye Zhen kept Killer occupied.
• Ye Zhen battered Killer until he vanished into a shadow on the ground, but Killer survived and fled when Ye Zhen stopped attacking.
• Wang Chaling intercepted Killer with the two Wang Family First Generation ghosts and had them tear him in half.
• Ye Zhen confronted Wang Chaling for interfering, then approached the still-living Killer to try to erase his consciousness.

The Ghost Ship materialized in Dahai City, crushing buildings and releasing ghosts as Headquarters' captains evacuated civilians and faced the King Organization's supernatural projections. Yang Jian arrived in the supernatural bus and drove toward the ship, leaving the captains waiting to see whether it could stop the Ghost Ship.

• Wang Chaling and the others questioned the King Organization's recent tactics before Lu Zhiwen ordered everyone to focus on the Ghost Ship's imminent arrival.
• He Yuelian sensed the Ghost Ship's supernatural interference, and the captains rushed to its location as it appeared above a busy street and began crushing buildings.
• He Yuelian pulled nearby blocks into the Ghost Painting while Liu San's paper figures evacuated civilians from the affected streets.
• The King Organization appeared as supernatural projections in an abnormal building, and Lin Bei went to obstruct their view while the captains continued dealing with the Ghost Ship.
• Liu San reported that ghosts were falling from the Ghost Ship, and the captains worried that they could only follow it and fight the creatures it released.
• Yang Jian drove the supernatural bus toward the Ghost Ship, prompting the captains to wonder whether it could halt the ship's advance.

Yang Jian drove the supernatural bus into the Ghost Ship, and the collision stopped the ship but triggered a dangerous supernatural conflict. He escaped the driver's seat by cutting his connection to the bus, only for its wreckage to begin collapsing toward him.

• The King Organization watched the Ghost Ship's landing and chose to let the captains face the danger while Lin Bei blocked their view with a mirror world.
• Yang Jian drove the supernatural bus toward the Ghost Ship as its headlights failed and the ship's hull began to rust and break apart.
• The bus and Ghost Ship collided, stopping the ship as ghosts inside the bus began to move and the vehicle twisted under the impact.
• A ghost seized Yang Jian and forced him back into the driver's seat, so he used the Ghost Scissors to sever his connection to the bus.
• Yang Jian fled toward the rear of the bus, but its front collapsed and the destruction spread toward him.

Yang Jian was trapped inside the supernatural bus as it collided with the Ghost Ship, while the collision’s interference spread across Dahai City and sealed supernatural powers. He escaped when He Yin'er summoned a dead soul to tear open the bus door, though the spirit tablet used to summon it shattered.

• The supernatural bus and the Ghost Ship crushed into each other, damaging both vessels as Wang Chaling, Lu Zhiwen, and Liu San worried about Yang Jian's safety.
• Yang Jian's supernatural powers were sealed inside the bus, and the electronic display exceeded its limit before exploding as the collision's interference intensified.
• The interference destroyed Lin Bei's mirror world, destabilized the King Organization's building, and plunged Dahai City into darkness while sealing Ghost Tamers' Ghost Domains.
• Trapped in the collapsing carriage, Yang Jian repeatedly struck the bus door but could not force it open as the vehicle crushed ghosts and its interior.
• A summoned old man's dead soul tore half the bus door away, allowing Yang Jian to escape before the soul vanished and He Yin'er's spirit tablet shattered.

Yang Jian escaped the supernatural bus after it collided with the Ghost Ship, but the collision disrupted Ghost Domains across Dahai City and left the crisis unresolved. He organized a plan to contain the Ghost Ship’s ghosts and fight the King Organization, while the captains prepared for a dangerous battle.

• Yang Jian escaped the supernatural bus with He Yin'er's help as the bus was destroyed and the damaged Ghost Ship stopped sailing.
• Yang Jian learned that the collision had disrupted everyone’s Ghost Domains, trapped the King Organization’s main forces in Dahai City, and prevented the Ghost Painting from evacuating the city’s residents.
• Yang Jian proposed using the Great Flood Plan to drain Ghost Lake and contain ghosts from the Ghost Ship, then having the captains fight the King Organization when it appeared.
• The captains agreed to prioritize the King Organization if it attacked, while Yang Jian warned them that the enemy still had a coffin nail.
• Zhou Deng privately considered stealing the King Organization’s coffin nail.

As the supernatural conflict weakened, Yang Jian unleashed the ghosts imprisoned in the ghost lake, flooding parts of Dahai City and releasing vicious ghosts across the world. He restrained the flood from spreading further, then prepared the captains to defend against the Ghost Ship’s ghosts and revived Zhang Xianguang for the coming battle.

• Yang Jian and the captains realized the supernatural conflict was weakening, and Yang Jian decided to launch the Great Flood Plan despite Wang Chaling’s warning that the King Organization might want supernatural chaos.
• Yang Jian’s ghost lake spread through Dahai City and connected to waters around the world, carrying imprisoned ghosts to the surface and releasing them into reality.
• Vicious ghosts began appearing overseas, while the ghost lake grew stronger as its imprisoned ghosts escaped.
• Yang Jian restrained the ghost lake from flooding cities overseas and explained that he had emptied it to prepare for imprisoning the Ghost Ship’s ghosts.
• The captains formed a defensive line around the Ghost Ship, and Yang Jian released Zhang Xianguang from the ghost lake and Ghost Dream.

Yang Jian released Zhang Xianguang to hunt the King Organization’s Ghost Tamers while the captains prepared for the Ghost Ship’s next move. The damaged ship began moving again and released a multitude of ghosts, many of which fell into Yang Jian’s Ghost Lake.

• Zhang Xianguang awakened in Dahai City, took back his supernatural broadsword, and left to kill at least two of the King Organization’s kings.
• Yang Jian prepared to focus on the Ghost Ship after noting that Sister Hong had not arrived and his Ghost Lake had been emptied.
• The supernatural bus wreckage failed to stop the Ghost Ship, though the collision left its bow damaged and its movement slow and crooked.
• Ghosts emerged from the ship’s cabins and crowded its deck, while Yang Jian warned Li Yang’s seven-person team to stay together.
• Many ghosts fell from the overcrowded deck into Ghost Lake and sank, while Wang Chaling watched for any ghosts capable of escaping it.

After the Ghost Ship released fierce ghosts into Ghost Lake, Yang Jian confronted an opera-costumed ghost that trapped him in an illusion, while Liu San and the other captains struggled against additional ghosts. The Ghost Ship’s escaping spirits continued to threaten Dahai City as the captains’ defenses came under pressure.

• Yang Jian split a corpse floating on Ghost Lake with his hatchet, and the ghost sank beneath the water.
• An opera-costumed ghost stood on the lake without sinking, so Yang Jian threw his spear at it from a distance.
• The ghost’s eerie singing transformed Yang Jian’s surroundings into an illusory stage where he could not move below the head.
• An invisible ghost attacked Liu San’s paper figures, snapping their necks and killing them without revealing itself.
• Fierce ghosts appeared in the areas guarded by Wang Chaling, Li Lepeng, He Yin'er, Li Yang, and the other captains.

Yang Jian escaped an opera ghost’s supernatural illusion and detained it with the coffin nail and woodcutter’s knife. Another ghost appeared on the Ghost Lake, and Yang Jian moved to confront it.

• Yang Jian realized that the opera ghost had trapped him in an illusion that made him believe he could not move.
• He used the Ghost Scissors to cut the curse thread connecting him to the opera ghost, breaking the illusion.
• Yang Jian found that his red spear had pierced the ghost, then dismembered it into six pieces and detained it in the Ghost Lake.
• An old man appeared standing motionless on the water, and Yang Jian advanced to deal with him before more ghosts could gather.
