The narrator tells us that the village is full of the aura of dead people, and that there is no trace of human life. He tells the villagers that the demons are trying to eat them up. He says that they are all town folk trapped in a corner by the demon clan. The narrator says that he is from the kunlun realm, and he was instructed to do some tasks by the ombudsmen in the lower realms. The granny tells the story of how the divine clan used to rule the nine lands, but how mortals could not be worry free. Thirty years ago, an ombudsman was transferred to the city, and the man turned his blind eye to the demon bandits oppressing the common people and doing evil things. The town was plagued by a plague. The prefect officer says that the demon cores have been used to strengthen the prefect officer's power, but the granny says that these cores are not enough, and they need more. The ombudsman left the town to fend for himself while he enjoyed the power of the city officials.
