One night while surfing the internet, Wang Zhaoyang is told by an online acquaintance called “Dead Zhang” how to see someone after they die: log back into QQ at midnight, and you can see dead friends listed as invisible. When Wang tries it, he really does see his friend Jia Pengcheng online. Jia is later confirmed dead. Then Jiang Zhixin appears as “invisible” in the same way and dies too. Wang Zhaoyang also has an accident while investigating. In reality, it is all part of a conspiracy. Jia, Jiang, and Liu heard about the “ancient tree curse” while camping at Gongming Mountain and planned to sacrifice Wang Zhaoyang to save themselves. But they did not know that Liu Yanjun had already been manipulated by “0,” who was actually Wang Zhaoyang. Liu Yanjun ultimately kills Jia and Jiang, only to discover that Wang Zhaoyang has been a ghost all along. Liu cannot escape death either, and “Dead Zhang” turns out to be Wang Zhaoyang's true identity.
