Summary

Mei Lun, uninterested in the banquet's food, confronts a crowd that initially attempts to engage him but falls silent. He reassures them he means no harm, but when a lady steps forward, the crowd becomes aggressive, their eyes glowing crimson. As they approach, Xiao Hong Lian emerges, transforming into a blood mist that drains the strength of those who touch it, leaving them weakened. Mei Lun continues through the banquet, discovering a corridor filled with doors, one of which leads to a theatrical stage populated by ghostly figures. Sensing the potential dangers, he chooses to close the door, but finds all other exits disappearing, forcing him to enter the stage. Inside, he and Xiao Hong Lian navigate through various scenes, including a slaughterhouse where Mei Lun encounters members of the Special Affairs Bureau, who are trapped. He notices one holds a powerful item, the Sacrificial Door, which can connect to a strange dimension. Mei Lun takes it, realizing its potential for sealing and controlling extraordinary entities. He contemplates their ship for sacrificial items before moving on. Meanwhile, Carl confronts his father, Ge Lei, the ghost captain of the Golden Lolin, who reveals the ship's tragic fate after a storm led them to a mysterious island. Ge Lei's transformation into a ghost and his manipulative offer to Carl to inherit the ship's captaincy creates tension. Just as Carl hesitates, Mei Lun intervenes, asserting his authority over the situation. The ghost captain attacks Mei Lun, but Mei Lun counters with the power of his fairy tale kingdom. However, he soon realizes that the world's limitations dilute his power, complicating the confrontation.
