Xu Family Haunted House
[02:47] Sign
Treasures fill the home
[02:52] ---
Three months ago,
[02:54] ---
the youngest child
of the Xu family was missing.
[02:56] ---
Six family members died consecutively.
[02:58] ---
The whistle always sounds here.
[03:02] ---
From that moment on,
[03:04] ---
strange events kept happening
in Huai'an.
[03:08] ---
Several children were lost in a row.
[03:10] ---
It was coincident
with the celebration of Linggan King
[03:15] ---
The people at the Yamen
[Yamen: The government office]
[03:16] ---
are timid.
[03:17] ---
They feared ruining the celebration
[03:18] ---
and upsetting the higher-ups.
[03:20] ---
So it could only*
be secretly investigated.
[03:22] ---
Repeated investigations
were inconclusive.
[03:24] ---
The common people of Huai'an
were also kept in the dark.
[03:28] ---
If this matter
[03:29] ---
wasn't done by humans,
[03:31] ---
then it must be the demon
that Xiaoyue mentioned.
[03:33] Sign
Wu Daoying
[03:33] ---
In this house,
[03:36] ---
the clues might be discovered.
[03:37] Sign
Juxian Hall
[03:49] ---
What is this?
[04:07] ---
Ah, this is the whistle sound.
[04:18] ---
Has the demon
that kidnaps children been found?
[04:20] Sign
Zhao Jia
[04:21] ---
Is the whistle in the house
[04:21] ---
Is the whistle in the house
[04:22] ---
done by the demon?
[04:27] Sign
The whistle sound at the haunted house
was found to be caused by wall
[04:28] ---
The whistle sound at the haunted house
[04:30] ---
was found to be caused by wall cracks.
[04:32] ---
I told you it's impossible.
[04:37] ---
Wu Daoying,
[04:39] ---
I've helped you a lot, right?
[04:40] ---
The places in the city
rumored to have demons,
[04:42] ---
I've accompanied you to all of them.
[04:44] ---
I told you many times
[04:45] ---
there are no demons in the world.
[04:47] ---
Alas, you better take my advice.
[04:50] ---
Stop messing around.
[04:51] ---
Whenever something goes wrong,
[04:52] ---
I cover for you in front of Zongqi.
[*Zongqi: Ancient official title]
[04:54] ---
The cases were solved by me,
[04:55] ---
but all the credit went to you.
[04:56] ---
What?
[04:58] ---
I mean
[04:59] ---
thank you for taking care of me.
[05:03] ---
Again?
[05:04] ---
Mr. Zhao.
[05:07] ---
Mr. Zhao,
[05:08] ---
another child has gone missing.
[05:09] ---
Zongqi wants you to return
to the Yamen immediately.
[05:12] ---
I heard it was done by a demon.
[05:14] ---
Hey!
[05:15] ---
Why didn't you say it earlier?
[05:16] ---
Xiaowu, slow down.
[05:18] ---
He really believes it.
[05:20] ---
Relying on resisting the invaders
[05:21] ---
and making achievements,
he dares to act arrogantly.
[05:23] ---
He doesn't even wear the uniform.
[05:24] ---
What nonsense are you talking about?
[05:25] ---
Hurry up and follow up.
[05:31] ---
Come take a look.
[05:32] ---
Wait for me!
[05:33] ---
Mrs. Chen, you look good today.
[05:35] ---
Oh, thank you.
[05:40] ---
Go over there.
[05:41] ---
Okay, let's go.
[05:42] Sign
Huai'an Guard Command Office
[05:42] ---
Ordinary child traffickers?
[05:45] ---
You have the nerve to say it.
[05:47] Sign
Zhenhuai Hall
[05:47] ---
A bunch of good-for-nothings.
[05:49] ---
Do you know how others curse us
behind our backs?
[05:51] ---
Zongqi, we've done our best.
[05:53] ---
Patrol during the day
and search at night.
[05:55] Sign
Zongqi
[05:55] ---
Cut the crap!
[05:56] ---
Just tell me,
[05:57] ---
in a place as small as Huai'an,
[05:59] ---
how many children
have already gone missing?
[06:02] ---
- Count the one before yesterday in.
- Let go!
[06:04] ---
- This is for Linggan King.
- Five in all.
[06:06] ---
I think the matter is not so simple.
[06:08] ---
- How about we...
- Reporting to the higher-ups is banned.
[06:12] ---
It coincided with the annual sacrifice
to Linggan King.
[06:14] ---
Don't make things worse.
[06:19] ---
Sorry to bother you.
[06:23] ---
Hey, Xiaowu.
[06:25] ---
Why are you in such a hurry?
[06:27] ---
Catch it!
[06:30] ---
I'll explain later.
[06:32] ---
I have to go to the Yamen now.
[06:35] ---
Xiaowu,
[06:37] ---
you promised to teach me
how to use the fire spear
[06:38] ---
and buy me a sugar figure.
[06:40] ---
I'll give it to you next time.
Don't wander around recently.
[06:56] ---
You two go to the east of the city.
[06:58] ---
You go to the west of the city.
[06:59] ---
And you...
[07:00] Sign
Order
[07:02] ---
Forget it.
[07:04] ---
Listen up, everyone.
[07:05] ---
The higher-ups have spoken
[07:06] ---
if you can't find the children,
[07:07] ---
none of you can escape the consequences.
[07:10] ---
Zongqi.
[07:10] ---
Wu Daoying should be brought along?
[07:12] ---
Bring him along?
[07:13] ---
He can only add to the trouble.
[07:14] ---
Maybe he will tell me
[07:16] ---
it's definitely the work of a demon.
[07:19] ---
Zongqi,
it's definitely the work of a demon.
[07:21] ---
I asked around,
and someone saw water on the ground.
[07:24] ---
It swallowed the child.
[07:26] ---
There you go again.
[07:27] ---
What a bad luck!
[07:28] ---
Maybe it's because he is a jinx.
[07:30] ---
He said it was the work of a demon.
[07:33] ---
Only a fool would believe that.
[07:36] ---
I found a clue.
[07:37] ---
As long as we investigate further,
we will be able to...
[07:38] ---
Wu Daoying,
[07:40] ---
keep your mind clear!
[07:42] ---
You've indeed made achievements,
but you cannot be so unruly.
[07:45] ---
You always shout about finding demons.
[07:47] ---
You made the Yamen
[07:49] ---
the laughingstock of Huai'an.
[07:52] ---
What are you all looking at?
[07:54] ---
All of you, get back to work.
[08:01] ---
Mr. Zhao is here.
[08:02] Sign
Protect the territory and the people
[08:16] ---
Mr. Zhao,
[08:16] ---
I need two people.
[08:18] ---
I'm not talking nonsense this time.
[08:19] ---
Xiaoyue saw it with her eyes.
[08:21] ---
If you don't believe me,
let's go ask together.
[08:23] Sign
Strange water swallows children
[08:23] ---
You believe what the child says?
[08:25] ---
Or maybe the storybook has confused you.
[08:27] ---
You've been looking for demons
for quite some time.
[08:30] ---
Didn't you also check
the Xu family haunted house?
[08:31] ---
There is nothing here.
[08:33] ---
I was going to propose to Zongqi
[08:35] ---
that you could investigate cases
with me.
[08:36] ---
But how about you?
[08:37] ---
Demons!
[08:39] ---
Still demons!
[08:40] ---
What a shame!
[08:42] ---
Just tell me
if you can give me two people.
[08:44] ---
Xiaowu, stop messing around.
[08:47] ---
Now it's time for the sacrifice
to Linggan King.
[08:49] ---
If we disrupt the celebration,
those above will blame us.
[08:51] ---
Not to mention you and me,
[08:52] ---
even the Yamen
can't bear the responsibility.
[08:55] ---
Take my advice.
[08:56] ---
You'd better not get involved
in this case for now.
[09:00] ---
Zhao Jia,
[09:01] ---
do you dare to make a bet?
[09:02] ---
You do the investigation yourself,
[09:03] ---
and I'll find demons myself.
[09:05] ---
By then, I'll solve the case first.
[09:12] ---
- Xiaoyue, be good.
- No!
[09:13] ---
- Don't cry.
- I don't want it.
[09:15] ---
Finish your meal, okay?
[09:18] ---
Xiaowu,
[09:19] ---
why are you here?
[09:22] ---
Is Xiaoyue feeling better?
[09:23] ---
Still the same.
[09:24] ---
Please, I'm begging you.
[09:25] ---
Several doctors came,
[09:26] ---
and they all said she was scared.
[09:29] ---
In the case of the missing children,
[09:31] ---
what progress has been made?
[09:33] ---
No.
[09:35] ---
Can I exchange private words
with Xiaoyue again?
[09:46] ---
Xiaoyue, it's me.
[09:47] Sign
Tang Xiaoyue
[09:55] ---
I also saw a demon when I was a child.
[09:57] ---
None of them believe me.
[09:59] ---
They call me a liar.
[10:03] ---
Look! I've even been hurt.
[10:11] ---
Now, I understand.
[10:15] ---
It doesn't matter
whether they believe it or not.
[10:17] ---
What matters is
[10:18] ---
we need to believe in ourselves.
[10:24] ---
Xiaowu,
[10:27] ---
it's real.
[10:28] ---
Originally, Maotou was looking for me.
[10:31] ---
I saw him chasing a yellow butterfly.
[10:35] ---
Unexpectedly,
he was swallowed by the water.
[10:39] ---
Xiaoyue, look at here.
[10:42] ---
The butterfly is so beautiful.
[10:45] ---
Stop.
[10:51] ---
It's really beautiful.
[11:05] ---
Xiaowu,
[11:07] ---
I really saw it
[11:11] ---
Yellow butterfly, right?
[11:12] ---
Xiaoyue.
[11:15] ---
- Xiaoyue, be good. It's okay.
- They don't believe me.
[11:17] ---
Mommy is here. Don't cry.
[11:20] ---
Sorry for that.
[11:21] ---
Mommy.
[11:22] ---
- The child is young.
- Mommy.
[11:23] ---
After being frightened,
she started talking nonsense.
[11:27] ---
Don't underestimate children.
[11:31] ---
Linggan King bless you.
[11:33] ---
Linggan King bless you.
[11:35] ---
Linggan King, please bless us.
[11:37] ---
Linggan King will bless us.
[11:45] ---
Around this time in previous years,
[11:47] ---
the Linggan King would have appeared.
[11:48] ---
Why is there no sign of him this year?
[11:51] ---
It's weird.
[11:53] ---
Could he disappear?
[11:54] ---
Nonsense!
[11:55] ---
You must be from out of town.
[11:57] ---
Without his protection,
[11:58] ---
how could Huai'an have favorable weather
for the harvest year after year?
[12:02] Sign
Winner takes the money
[12:05] ---
The place attracted a mixed crowd,
[12:06] ---
so useful information can be found.
[12:09] ---
Xiaowu,
[12:10] ---
I can see through you
[12:12] ---
You have no intention of playing chess.
[12:15] ---
What's up?
[12:16] ---
No leads in investigating a case.
[12:18] ---
What do you want to find out this time?
[12:21] ---
Xiaowu,
[12:22] ---
if you don't take it seriously,
[12:23] ---
you'll lose all your money.
[12:25] ---
He's got something on his mind.
[12:27] ---
What's up, Xiaowu?
[12:28] ---
Are you looking for demons again?
[12:30] ---
Why bring it up now?
[12:32] ---
It's ill-timed.
[12:34] ---
People are strange, aren't they?
[12:36] ---
No one believes there are demons.
[12:38] ---
But when it comes to worshiping gods,
everyone rushes forward.
[12:40] ---
Has anyone among you ever seen
the gods' true face?
[12:42] ---
Don't talk nonsense.
[12:44] ---
If Huai'an suffers disasters next year,
[12:46] ---
it will all be your fault.
[12:48] ---
Sorry, my bad.
[12:50] ---
However,
[12:52] ---
has anyone seen
anything strange recently?
[12:54] ---
Are there any unfamiliar people?
[12:55] ---
Especially those who don't look human.
[12:58] ---
Besides the missing children,
[12:59] ---
it seems like
there's nothing strange.
[13:03] ---
Now that you mention it,
[13:04] ---
I remember a strange person.
[13:08] ---
My throat is a bit dry.
[13:09] ---
Oh.
[13:11] ---
Here it is.
[13:17] ---
As my wife went to the temple
to offer incense,
[13:19] ---
she always met a strange person.
[13:20] ---
Dressed like an ascetic holy man.
[13:22] ---
He didn't offer incense or worship gods.
[13:24] ---
Instead, he walked all over the city.
[13:26] ---
It seemed like
he was looking for something.
[13:28] ---
Now we can be sure.
[13:29] ---
Maybe he is the one
who kidnapped the children.
[13:32] ---
Hey, watch this move!
[13:35] ---
Don't talk nonsense.
[13:36] ---
I know that young man.
[13:38] ---
If you ask me,
[13:39] ---
he is quite handsome.
[13:42] ---
Hehe.
[13:43] ---
Is he a bad guy who kidnaps children?
[13:46] ---
No, I don't believe it.
[13:48] ---
You are...
[14:10] ---
Here he is.
[14:11] ---
It's him.
[14:13] ---
He is indeed quite handsome.
[14:15] ---
It's my turn now.
[14:17] ---
Checkmate!
[14:22] Sign
Qing Xuan
[14:24] ---
Oh dear, what I have done?
[14:26] ---
It's over. Let's go home.
[14:28] ---
It's boring.
[14:31] ---
Something's wrong.
[14:34] ---
Suanni is missing.
[14:36] ---
I took him shopping.
[14:37] ---
As soon as I turned around, he was gone.
[14:40] ---
Take it easy.
You two probably just got separated.
[14:47] ---
Take a look.
[14:59] ---
Where did he go?
[15:17] ---
The person acts strangely.
[15:19] ---
Maybe he is...
[15:34] ---
Ah!
[15:52] ---
It's
[15:53] ---
a child's footprints.

Linggan King Temple
[16:06] ---
Who goes there?
[16:09] ---
How dare you disturb me
during my nap time?
[16:14] ---
She's deliberately mystifying.
[16:15] ---
Let me expose her true colors.
[16:18] Sign
Linggan King Statue
[16:19] ---
I'm Wu Daoying,
and it's a great honor to meet you.
[16:22] ---
May I ask who you are?
[16:24] ---
He actually doesn't recognize me.
[16:27] ---
Listen,
[16:29] ---
I'm Linggan King who protects Huai'an.
[16:32] ---
It turns out you're the esteemed king.
[16:35] ---
I was ordered to investigate a case.
[16:36] ---
Sorry to disturb you.
[16:38] ---
However,
[16:39] ---
today is the day to sacrifice to you.
[16:42] ---
Everyone is standing by the river,
waiting for you to reveal your magic.
[16:46] ---
Could it be
[16:47] ---
that their offerings
don't meet your expectations?
[16:50] ---
Nonsense!
[16:54] ---
I have my own arrangements.
[16:56] ---
No need for you to worry.
[16:58] ---
Wu Daoying,
[17:00] ---
I, the king, am asking you.
[17:01] ---
Are you investigating
the case of the missing children?
[17:04] ---
How did you know?
[17:06] ---
As the guardian of Huai'an,
[17:09] ---
I naturally know everything.
[17:11] ---
Since you came here,
[17:13] ---
it means we are destined.
[17:15] ---
I will
[17:17] ---
generously give you some guidance.
[17:22] ---
Why do I feel
[17:23] ---
it was you who did this.
[17:26] ---
Nonsense! It wasn't me.
[17:31] Sign
Ling Gan
[17:37] ---
Where is he?
[17:42] ---
So, it was you causing trouble.
[17:43] ---
How dare you!
[17:44] ---
How dare you!
[17:45] ---
You're rude.
[17:47] ---
Put me down!
[17:52] ---
The lost child
[17:53] ---
and that bad guy
[17:55] ---
are right down here.
[18:04] ---
Little girl,
[18:06] ---
if you delay the case,
[18:07] ---
you will end up in prison.
[18:10] ---
Open!
[18:15] ---
What!
[18:18] ---
You led me here on purpose.
[18:20] ---
If you want to save the children,
[18:21] ---
then follow me.
[18:30] ---
Unbelievable!
[18:31] ---
There's such a place beneath the temple.
[18:34] ---
Little girl,
[18:36] ---
how do you know about the place?
[18:38] ---
Who exactly are you?
[18:40] ---
God? Demon?
[18:41] ---
I've told you
[18:42] ---
I am Linggan King.
[18:44] ---
Naturally, I need to protect
the people of the city.
[18:48] ---
You're just a little girl
[18:49] ---
but insist on claiming to be the old man
worshipped in the temple.
[18:52] ---
No way!
[18:53] ---
Tsk.
[18:54] ---
Believe it or not.
[18:56] ---
Otherwise,
why would I try to save the children?
[18:58] ---
By the way,
[19:00] ---
did you see an ascetic holy man?
[19:02] ---
No.
[19:03] ---
Shh.
[19:05] ---
Follow me.
[19:15] ---
It's Suanni.
