Chen Shi of the Underworld returns to Earth with the Ghost-Pacifying Book, only to find that the city he once knew has become a playground for evil spirits. While everyone else trembles and hides from ghosts, his eyes shine like searchlights as he exclaims, "Better late than never, but better still to arrive right on time!" Others flee when they see a ghost, but he grabs the Ghost-Pacifying Book and chases evil spirits, from the streets to the wet market, offering a full-service cleanup. When a passing auntie tells him to watch out for ghosts, he doesn't even turn around. "Don't worry, ma'am. This is my KPI for tonight!" The ghostly aura he carries from the Underworld keeps getting him mistaken for a monster. When a "ghost-hunting squad" of punks surrounds him, he shoves his book at them and says, "Never seen an Underworld official this handsome? Get your eyes checked!" Then he turns around and helps them catch a little ghost that stole a toy. One night, while eating skewers, an old mage mistakes him for a "night-wandering evil ghost." With a piece of kidney still in his mouth, Chen Shi protests, "Do I look like I'm here to take lives, or just here to eat?" Furious, he grabs the little ghost beside him to demonstrate how to capture ghosts, scaring the old mage into running for his life.
After ten years of ghost hunting, Chen Shi has gone from a conspicuous loner chasing ghosts to a big shot who commands the submission of a hundred ghosts. Now he leads them through the streets in formation. Shopkeepers greet him with smiles, and the little ghosts behind him behave like kindergarteners. The Underworld official who was once mistaken for a monster has become the most powerful figure of all, admired by everyone!
