As Yang Jian remained dormant, supernatural incidents spread and Headquarters lost control while Ghost Tamers across several cities reached their limits. Sun Rui resolved to seek advice from the Ghost Post Office’s former messengers, and Wang Chaling ordered the birth of the fourth generation of the Wang family as he neared death.

After half a year in the Ghost Dream world, Yang Jian awakened after successfully controlling the Ghost Blood and suppressing the bus’s supernatural influence. He headed for Dachang City to learn how the world had changed and prepare to act.
