In a chilling encounter, Shi, Ma Nao, and the narrator discover an old woman, Tai Tai, in a rocking chair, her head unnaturally drooping. Shi reveals that the old lady's three souls—Earthly, Heavenly, and Life—are separated, causing her to act independently.

The atmosphere is tense as they prepare to confront the supernatural situation, with the potential for chaos if the souls reunite.
