Episode 9 recap: Chu Qi learned about the mayor's daughter's situation.
Gu Yu Sheng told Chu Qi and the others about his experience, stating that the person they encountered was not a female ghost but a real human. Before he fainted, he even saw a glimpse of her profile. Chu Qi and the others went back to rest but heard Jia Ru's cries at night, so they hurried over. Jia Ru claimed to have seen his sister, and the mayor also arrived, reassuring Jia Ru not to be afraid.
The mayor instructed Jue Ming to prepare offerings to see his deceased daughter, Jia Qi. The mayor expressed that he never intended for Jia Qi to die but that she was too stubborn. The mayor left first, and then Chu Qi and the others arrived, asking Jue Ming what had happened. They realized that the mayor and the others were still planning to hold a ceremony, so Jue Ming needed to tell them the truth so they could find a way to intervene.
Jue Ming explained to Chu Qi and the others what had happened previously. At that time, the people in the town had angered the King of the Underworld, and the mountain man said that women needed to be sacrificed. The mayor had just taken office at the time and claimed that his daughter, who was already sixteen, could be sacrificed. However, Jia Qi refused, so the mayor ordered her to be locked up. When they opened the door, they discovered that Jia Qi had committed suicide.
Upon learning about these events, Chu Qi became extremely angry, believing it to be murder. Wu Xu pointed out that the person who killed Wang Wu and these women was not the same, as Wang Wu's body had rope marks. Chu Qi was pleased to hear this because it meant that Shi San was still alive.
