A Wicked Ghost II: The Fear

Three police officers, Li, Peanut, and Cha-siu, pursue a serial rapist through the city until the suspect escapes toward a construction site. The chase unsettles the team and foreshadows a case that will be haunted by deaths and memory. Their colleague Willis Tao watches the events, as mysterious danger begins to stack up around them.

At the construction site, the rapist is found dead, his body dismembered in a grisly tableau. The finding deepens the mystery while unsettling the police team with questions that defy ordinary explanation. In a parallel blow, Cha-siu is revealed to have shot himself, leaving the squad reeling from multiple deaths.

Two reporters, Balm and Coffee, join the case to chase leads and document the grisly events. Balm secretly photographs the body parts and encounters the rapist’s ghost, an experience that ends with him being knocked down by a car. The eerie incident raises further questions about the haunting surrounding the case.

Peanut's cousin Ada blinds herself after watching A Wicked Ghost, claiming she saw a ghost similar to the one in the film. The act adds a personal, supernatural thread to the investigation and foreshadows the wider ghostly presence. Her actions ripple through the family and the newsroom alike.

Balm and Ada are later found to have taken their own lives, intensifying the sense that the haunting has personal stakes for those involved. Their deaths carry a heavy emotional weight for the investigators and the people around them. The line between crime, grief, and the supernatural grows increasingly blurred.

Ada's sister Clever attempts suicide after seeing the ghosts of the twin girls she had aborted, but a blessed coin intervenes to save her. The incident underscores the pervasive haunting across generations connected to the Hwa family. The supernatural threats touch even those who seem far removed from the immediate crime.

Willis Tao enters a trance after stealing a metal nail from the construction site and tries to kill his colleagues. The others restrain him and send him to the hospital for treatment, illustrating how the haunting disrupts rational behavior. The episode heightens the tension around the investigation.

Blue retrieves a special sound recorder that can capture inaudible sounds. When she plays it, a hoarse female voice names Peanut's great-grandmother Hwa Yuet-may and reveals that the construction site was once the Hwa family residence. The discovery ties present events to a long history of the family curse.

Blue invites Peanut and Li to be hypnotized to recall their past lives, with Coffee and Clever joining the session. Under hypnosis, they uncover a love triangle and a fatal betrayal buried in the family history. The session links the present hauntings to ancient grievances.

Under hypnosis, they learn Peanut's great-grandfather loved Tift but was forced to marry Hwa from a rich family. Jealousy leads Hwa to hire thugs to kidnap and rape Tift, who is later slain when Suet betrays her by stabbing her in the head. The great-grandfather, unable to bear the torment, kills himself, and Tift returns as a vengeful ghost.

The memory of Tift’s brutal death returns as a vengeful ghost, hunting the Hwa clan and anyone connected to the past. The haunting intensifies as the past bleeds into the present during the hypnosis revelations. The living must confront the consequences of family betrayal.

Peanut realizes that Coffee is the reincarnation of Suet, the betrayer who doomed Tift. This revelation links the modern killings and hauntings to the original betrayal and deepens the tension between the characters. The line between living and dead becomes increasingly blurred.

Tift's ghost possesses Blue and corners Peanut and Coffee, attempting to strangle them in a terrifying moment. Clever and others realize they must intervene to prevent tragedy. The possession scene crystalizes the danger posed by the returning vengeful spirit.

Clever shines spiritual lights to trap Tift, forcing the ghost to reveal her vulnerability. The light-based tactic offers a glimmer of hope that the haunting can be contained without more blood. The moment marks a turning point in the living’s fight against the revenant.

At a critical moment, Peanut's great-grandfather's ghost leaves Li’s body to save Tift from further harm. Tift forgives her lover and chooses to depart with him, ending the cycle of vengeance. The living watch as the couple walks away together into an uncertain peace.
