[00:40] Renata
    Hold on, Zero.
[00:42] Renata
    I'll definitely keep my
    promise and get you out!
[00:53] Renata
    Listen.
[00:54] Zero
    It's the sound of the midnight clock.
[00:57] Zero
    It's your birthday,
[01:00] Zero
    my little princess.
[01:06] Renata
    You can't die here.
[01:07] Renata
    I...
[01:09] Renata
    I'll definitely get you out of here!
[01:19] Renata
    The trigger's jammed.
[01:29] Zero
    Is this where you will die, Renata?
[01:43] Pilot1
    Swift here.
[01:44] Pilot1
    Black Swan Bay is burning.
[01:46] Pilot1
    Nearly all of the buildings
    have been destroyed.
[01:48] Middle-aged man (OS)
    It looks like there's no going back.
[01:50] Middle-aged man (OS)
    I received an order from above
    to start Operation Swan Death.
[01:53] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Remember, not even a single strand
    of hair can leave Black Swan Bay!
[01:58] Pilot1
    Roger.
[02:00] Pilot1
    White Stork, there are still
    survivors in the port.
[02:02] Pilot1
    Do they need rescuing?
[02:04] Middle-aged man (OS)
    No matter who they are, wipe them out.
[02:06] Middle-aged man (OS)
    You must make sure everyone is dead!
[02:11] Zero
    I haven't given you my gift yet.
[02:13] Zero
    How can you die?
[02:16] Zero
    A lovely flower shouldn't freeze
    to death on this damned snowy night.
[02:20] Zero
    Come.
[02:22] Zero
    Accept this gift from the king.
[02:24] Zero
    Open your very first present.
[02:27] Zero
    From now on, your destiny
[02:29] Zero
    will no longer end in this blizzard.
[02:33] Zero
    Let's renew our contract.
[02:35] Zero
    From now on, I'll always keep you at my side.
[02:38] Zero
    I'll never give up,
[02:40] Zero
    never leave.
[02:41] Zero
    You must live well,
[02:45] Zero
    and always be useful to me.
[02:49] Pilot1
    White Stork, a strange ball of
    light has appeared in the smoke.
[02:51] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Damn it!
[02:53] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Are there any survivors?
[02:54] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Wipe them out right now!
[02:55] Pilot1
    Roger.
[02:56] Pilot1
    Wiping them out right now.
[02:57] Zero
    The king's language will cause reincarnation.
[03:00] Zero
    He will erase the records on the inscription.
[03:02] Zero
    He will erase your death.
[03:04] Zero
    Do not die!
[03:06] Zero
    Hear your king. Now rewind.
[03:10] Zero
    No words engraved on the stone.
[03:14] Zero
    No souls resting beneath the earth.
[03:20] Zero
    Rise again!
[03:28] Zero
    Lie still.
[03:30] Zero
    The starlight is the tomb.
[03:31] Zero
    The earth is the stage.
[03:33] Zero
    The wind, the cheers and
     the thunder, the applause.
[03:36] Zero
    This is what magic should be like.
[03:38] Zero
    Reality is crueler than fairy tales,
[03:41] Zero
    but much more beautiful.
[03:43] Zero
    Don't you agree?
[03:50] Zero
    Sometimes I pity you,
[03:53] Zero
    but most of the time,
[03:55] Zero
    your stupidity is unforgivable!
[03:58] Zero
    After a millennium,
[04:00] Zero
    Satan will be released from prison!
[04:13] Renata
    What...
[04:15] Renata
    ...on earth are you?
[04:17] Pilot2
    That kid is flying!
[04:19] Pilot2
    What the hell is he?
[04:21] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Fire all missiles!
[04:23] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Fire! Quick! Fire!
[04:26] Zero
    Awaken, beast!
[04:32] Zero
    A direct hit!
[04:33] Zero
    That thing must be dead.
[04:39] Zero
    That's...
SIGN    -The Mourner's Eyes-
[04:47] sign
    Episode 1
[04:51] Machine (F)
    Having escaped from Black Swan Bay,
    test subjects Zero and Renata
[04:54] Machine (F)
    are on a mountain road
    outside of Blagoveshchensk.
[04:57] Machine (F)
    Target destination is unknown.
[04:57] Renata
    We're being tracked.
[04:59] Zero
    I don't have time to deal with that.
[05:01] Renata
    Your body...
[05:02] Zero
    It's fine.
[05:04] Machine (F)
    Should we attack?
[05:05] Anjou
    No.
[05:06] Anjou
    This area is the territory of
    the Caduceus Organization,
[05:08] Anjou
    an organization always
    hidden in the shadows.
[05:11] Anjou
    No one has actually seen them,
[05:12] Anjou
    but they always leave a caduceus
    symbol behind after they strike,
[05:15] Anjou
    so we call them the "Caduceus Organization."
[05:18] Anjou
    Test subject Zero’s power
    is severely lacking; however,
[05:21] Anjou
    it's enough to deal with their pursuers.
[05:23] Anjou
    Notify the execution bureau.
[05:25] Anjou
    All nearby specialist executives of rank A
     or higher are to assemble immediately.
[05:27] Anjou
    This time, it's a S-rank mission.
[05:32] Lu Lincheng
    I still don't think you should
    participate in this mission,
[05:34] Lu Lincheng
    since you're pregnant.
[05:36] Giovanna
    Test subject Zero is very likely
    one of the Dragon Kings.
[05:38] Giovanna
    I can't miss an opportunity to contact him.
[05:41] Giovanna
    Also, without me, none of you in
    the Execution Bureau can catch him.
[05:44] Lu Lincheng
    Okay.
[05:45] Lu Lincheng
    I will protect you and our child.
[05:49] Execution Bureau Male1
    Cassel's Qiguo branch is assembled.
[05:50] Execution Bureau Male1
    Awaiting target location.
[05:52] Machine (F)
    The target location will be
    the icy lake in the mountains.
[05:54] Execution Bureau Male1
    Roger.
[05:55] Execution Bureau Male1
    We will go there immediately.
[06:08] Renata
    What's up?
[06:09] Zero
    I hear hooves approaching.
[06:13] Renata
    I can't hear them.
[06:23] Zero
    We should be out of danger for now.
[06:25] Renata
    Then what should we do?
[06:26] Zero
    I want to go to Xinguo.
[06:28] Renata
    Xinguo?
[06:29] Renata
    Xinguo is south of Qiguo.
[06:31] Renata
    It's very warm there.
[06:32] Renata
    There are four seasons in a year.
[06:34] Renata
    Flowers bloom in three of them.
[06:36] Renata
    There are thousands of different flowers.
[06:38] Renata
    In spring, there are different colored
    flowers blooming in every valley.
[06:41] Renata
    I'll show you.
[06:43] Renata
    Then we'll go south to Xinguo,
[06:45] Renata
    where it'll be warmer.
[06:47] Zero
    Also, the power I need is there.
[06:50] Zero
    They...
[06:52] Zero
    ...have revived.
[06:56] Renata
    I'll come with you,
[06:57] Renata
    but how will we get there?
[06:59] Zero
    We'll follow this black railway,
[07:01] Zero
    and try our luck to catch a train.
[07:05] Renata
    You...
[07:06] Zero
    I'm fine.
[07:07] Zero
    If we crawl into an oil tanker,
[07:09] Zero
    we'll be there when we wake up.
[07:10] Zero
    Let's go.
[07:32] Zero
    This train doesn't have power.
[07:34] Zero
    We can use the wind as power,
[07:36] Zero
    and fire as electricity.
[07:37] Zero
    The heat in the ground and wings in the sky
[07:39] Zero
    are like my hands and feet.
[07:42] Zero
    Activate!
[07:55] Zero
    Sit here and wait for me.
[08:00] Renata
    Where are you going?
[08:00] Renata
    To deal with the pursuers.
[08:03] Renata
    Is it that god you mentioned?
[08:05] Zero
    No. With this train, he can't
    catch up to us for now,
[08:08] Zero
    but the ants under his command are close.
[08:16] Pilot3
    White Stork, White Stork.
[08:17] Pilot3
    Target identified.
[08:18] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Fire at will.
[08:19] Middle-aged man (OS)
    Past the icy lake ahead is
    Cassel College's territory.
[08:21] Middle-aged man (OS)
    They must not reach it!
[08:23] Pilot3
    Order received.
[08:24] Pilot3
    Everyone, open fire!
[08:28] Zero
    Take the king's words as the order.
[08:30] Zero
    Lightning, flash for your king.
[08:32] Zero
    Lava, burn with your king.
[08:33] Zero
    Light, air, and all elements,
[08:36] Zero
    follow me, follow your king.
[08:37] Zero
    Heavens and earth, bow to
    the power of my words!
[08:43] Zero
    Bring me the wind!
[08:53] Pilot3
    The sky is full of tornadoes.
[08:55] Pilot3
    There's... no way we can
    continue with the mission.
[08:58] Pilot3
    Thunder, come!
[09:00] Pilot3
    Oh, no! Now there's lightning!
[09:02] Pilot3
    We're being attacked by lightning!
[09:04] Pilot3
    Fire, come!
[09:08] Pilot3
    Become a giant python and strangle the sky!
[09:11] Pilot3
    No... No!
[09:17] Pilot3
    Ice!
[09:18] Pilot3
    Shatter!
[09:30] Pilot3
    It's a bit windy.
[09:32] Pilot3
    Shall we move to a different carriage?
[09:35] Renata
    Your hand...
[09:37] Zero
    It's fine.
[09:39] Zero
    It was just the skin.
[09:53] Renata
    Thank you.
[10:05] StudentA
    Principal,
[10:06] StudentA
    the train should arrive
    earlier than expected.
[10:08] StudentA
    Many specialists have not yet assembled.
[10:10] Anjou
    It's fine.
[10:12] Anjou
    Lu Lincheng, Giovanna, where are you?
[10:14] Anjou
    We're nearby.
[10:15] Anjou
    We can meet you in five minutes.
[10:17] Lu Lincheng
    Good.
[10:18] Lu Lincheng
    Students,
[10:20] Lu Lincheng
    according to the intel,
[10:21] Lu Lincheng
    there's a Dragon King on the
    train you're about to attack.
[10:25] Lu Lincheng
    We don't know which of the four he is,
[10:28] Lu Lincheng
    but there's no doubt he's a terrifying
    foe whom we've never seen before.
[10:31] Lu Lincheng
    In a few minutes,
[10:32] Lu Lincheng
    all of you might be injured,
[10:34] Lu Lincheng
    or even die in battle.
[10:36] Lu Lincheng
    But in order for humans to
    eventually eliminate the Dragon Raja,
[10:38] Lu Lincheng
    please put your bodies and lives on the line.
[10:40] Lu Lincheng
    Your glory and blood shall
    be scattered across the land,
[10:43] Lu Lincheng
    and will co-exist with
    the future of humanity.
[10:45] Lu Lincheng
    Commence...
[10:47] Lu Lincheng
    the mission!
[10:48] StudentA
    Attack!
[10:58] Renata
    Someone has broken into the train.
[11:01] Zero
    127 people, all hybrids.
[11:05] Renata
    You...
[11:06] Zero
    Close your eyes.
[11:07] Zero
    You won't want to see what's coming next.
[11:09] Renata
    Okay.
[11:12] Male Student
    They need this train to escape
     from the Caduceus Organization.
[11:16] Male Student
    He won't use a major
     Yanling inside the carriage.
[11:19] Zero
    Hybrid bastards.
[11:22] Zero
    The king doesn't need...
[11:23] Zero
    a Yanling to kill you!
[11:35] Zero
    Next!
[11:38] Zero
    Kneel!
[11:41] Zero
    Bloodline Suppression...
[11:44] Zero
    Bastards,
[11:46] Zero
    as long as dragon blood flows within you,
[11:48] Zero
    you are unable to disobey my commands!
[11:57] Zero
    Forcefully using human blood
    to suppress dragon blood
[12:00] Zero
    and overcome Bloodline Suppression?
[12:02] Zero
    Shatter!
[12:03] Male Student2
    Your location is my location!
[12:05] Male Student2
    Yanling: Distance Control!
[12:08] Zero
    Burn.
[12:11] Renata
    Your body is dirty.
[12:12] Renata
    Let me clean you up.
[12:14] Zero
    Do it when I come back.
[12:16] Zero
    I'll sort out the rest of them at the front.
[12:17] Female3
    With rage, my bones and hair,
[12:19] Female3
    become steel whips to destroy the enemy!
[12:30] Male Student4
    Everything before me, vaporize!
[12:32] Male Student4
    Yanling: Evaporate!
[12:33] Zero
    In this era,
[12:35] Zero
    even a Yanling like Evaporate
    is used for combat.
[12:42] Zero
    My fist shall solidify everything.
[12:45] Zero
    Yanling: Petrify!
[12:54] Male Student5
    Yanling—
[12:54] Zero
    Don't embarrass yourself.
[12:57] StudentA
    As per the contract,
[12:58] StudentA
    I am the companion of steel!
[12:59] StudentA
    Yanling: Steel Share!
[13:01] Zero
    This is how you use Steel Share.
[13:03] Zero
    As per the commandment,
[13:04] Zero
    I am the master of steel.
[13:06] Zero
    Yanling: Steel Share!
[13:09] Female Student4
    The curved crown defies logic,
    and the earth becomes the sky.
[13:12] Female Student4
    Yanling: Reversal!
[13:16] Zero
    Yanling which control gravity
    are best kept sealed
[13:19] Zero
    and only used sparingly.
[13:46] Renata
    How are you?
[13:49] Zero
    This body can't handle much more.
[13:52] Zero
    Wait for my signal,
[13:53] Zero
    and open my first gift to you.
[13:57] Zero
    Don't worry.
[13:58] Zero
    This is only a preview.
[14:00] Zero
    The real show... is about to begin.
[14:04] Anjou
    Our forces have almost been wiped out.
[14:07] Anjou
    The intel is wrong.
[14:08] Anjou
    The enemy is far stronger than expected.
[14:11] Anjou
    Lu Lincheng, Giovanna,
[14:12] Anjou
    your new orders are to delay them.
[14:15] Anjou
    You mustn't let them step foot in Xinguo.
[14:17] Anjou
    Wait for my next order.
[14:25] Lu Lincheng
    If we could've gotten here earlier,
[14:28] Lu Lincheng
    maybe there wouldn't have been
    so many sacrifices.
[14:31] Zero
    Just the... two of you?
[14:34] Zero
    Honestly...
[14:36] Zero
    So reckless.
[14:38] Zero
    A hybrid, and a pregnant woman.
[14:41] Zero
    Honestly, so reckless.
[14:44] Zero
    Are you a hero?
[14:46] Zero
    That's just a fairy tale
    ants made up for themselves.
[14:49] Zero
    What a shame.
[14:51] Zero
    Ants always wake up too
    late from their dreams.
[14:55] Lu Lincheng
    It doesn't take two people.
[14:57] Lu Lincheng
    I alone am enough to stop this
    train and derail your plan.
[15:01] Zero
    So much confidence!
[15:03] Zero
    I love it.
[15:04] Zero
    But you should turn around and have a look.
[15:07] Zero
    We'll be at the Xinguo border in two minutes.
[15:10] Zero
    Do you think there's still a chance?
[15:14] Zero
    We plan to have iron pot
    stew and take a bath.
[15:19] Zero
    Why so nervous?
[15:20] Lu Lincheng
    Two minutes... will be plenty.
[15:27] Lu Lincheng
    So it's like that.
[15:29] Lu Lincheng
    Delay tactics.
[15:31] Lu Lincheng
    Waiting for your main squad to arrive?
[15:33] Zero (OS)
    They're here to stop us from reaching Xinguo.
[15:36] Zero (OS)
    We must fight quickly.
[15:38] Zero
    Mantis Barrier!
[15:47] Lu Lincheng
    It's time to end your rampage!
[15:52] Lu Lincheng
    My Yanling can penetrate anything
[15:54] Lu Lincheng
    and wipe out all life.
[15:56] Lu Lincheng
    It's unblockable.
[15:57] Zero
    Yanling from the heavens.
[15:59] Zero
    Extracting highly radioactive
    rare metals from the earth,
[16:03] Zero
    which can penetrate all lifeforms
    and destroy all existence.
[16:08] Zero
    That's very powerful.
[16:14] Lu Lincheng
    Concentrate.
[16:16] Lu Lincheng
    Release!
[16:19] Zero
    Fool.
[16:20] Zero
    You know I'm not affected by Yanling.
[16:22] Giovanna
    Yanling: Dark Light!
[16:23] Giovanna
    Refraction!
[16:25] Lu Lincheng
    Our goal is to delay you.
[16:27] Lu Lincheng
    You must have a reason to
    escape with a little girl.
[16:30] Lu Lincheng
    I bet you will save her!
[16:32] Zero
    Renata,
[16:34] Zero
    open the gift!
[16:39] Renata
    Yan...ling:
[16:42] Renata
    Mirror Pupil.
[16:43] Renata
    Copy. Dark Light.
[16:45] Renata
    Refraction.
[16:47] Lu Lincheng
    Copying Yanling? Watch out!
[16:49] Zero
    Game over.
[16:51] Zero
    You lose.
[16:53] Zero
    Go to hell with the Yanling
    that you're so proud of.
[16:57] Zero
    The entire family of three.
[16:59] Anjou
    Yanling: Zero Time!
[17:09] Zero
    You finally showed up.
[17:11] Zero
    They were waiting for you.
[17:16] Zero
    Old man...
[17:17] Zero
    Working hard despite your hair going gray.
[17:20] Zero
    Sending youngsters to fight
    your battles in your old age?
[17:23] Zero
    What a pity.
[17:25] Zero
    Aren't you disappointed with this world?
[17:27] Zero
    Isn't it sad?
[17:29] Anjou
    You're the one who's disappointed.
[17:30] Anjou
    It's a shame you're only one minute away.
[17:33] Anjou
    But don't look down on the elderly.
[17:35] Anjou
    You tricked my honest students,
    but you cannot trick me.
[17:38] Anjou
    You're the one who's dying.
[17:40] Anjou
    No, you're not human.
[17:43] Anjou
    You're a monster.
[17:45] Anjou
    In this single minute,
[17:46] Anjou
    say your last words.
[17:48] Zero
    Using your lovely students as
    cannon fodder to grind me down.
[17:51] Zero
    What's that saying they have in Xinguo?
[17:54] Zero
    The elderly are extremely sly and cunning.
[17:56] Zero
    I should applaud you,
[17:57] Zero
    using bones as drumsticks and lies as drums.
[18:01] Zero
    But enough of the drama.
[18:02] Zero
    This body has indeed reached its limit.
[18:05] Zero
    Old man...
[18:08] Zero
    Believe it or not, I can replace this
    blizzard with scenery from hell
[18:12] Zero
    before you can even blink.
[18:14] Zero
    Perhaps...
[18:16] Zero
    you'd like the scenery there.
[18:18] Anjou
    There's no point in killing me.
[18:19] Anjou
    Backup will be here soon.
[18:21] Anjou
    In any case, you will not escape today.
[18:24] Anjou
    Having killed so many of my students,
[18:26] Anjou
    I am going to have you two monsters
[18:28] Anjou
    torn apart, from skin to bone.
[18:32] Zero
    Grandpa,
[18:34] Zero
    you're getting old.
[18:35] Zero
    You should learn to cherish life.
[18:37] Zero
    However,
[18:39] Zero
    I dislike both sides suffering losses.
[18:43] Zero
    I know what you want.
[18:45] Zero
    Today is Renata's birthday.
[18:48] Zero
    I don't want to spoil her day.
[18:50] Zero
    Let's make a deal.
[18:54] Zero
    Agree to my conditions,
[18:56] Zero
    and I'll give you this big gift.
[18:58] Anjou
    The Dragon Raja cannot be trusted.
[19:00] Zero
    The Dragon Raja values promises the most.
[19:02] Zero
    The king never lies.
[19:05] Zero
    There's something in here that
    you've been searching for.
[19:08] Zero
    But even if you want to break into it,
[19:10] Zero
    it's impossible.
[19:11] Zero
    As for the key, don't worry.
[19:14] Zero
    It will find you sooner or later.
[19:17] Anjou
    What are your conditions?
[19:21] Zero
    Take care of Renata for me.
[19:23] Zero
    When the time comes,
[19:25] Zero
    you will get what you want.
[19:32] Anjou
    From now on,
[19:34] Anjou
    she will be my most cherished student.
[19:42] Zero
    This is my second birthday gift to you.
[19:45] Zero
    I haven't decided on the third one yet.
[19:48] Zero
    Let's wait until spring,
    when the flowers bloom.
[19:51] Zero
    Little princess,
[19:54] Zero
    I need to sleep now.
[19:56] Zero
    You are mine.
[19:58] Zero
    From now on,
[20:00] Zero
    you will take my name: Zero.
[20:05] Zero
    Live on,
[20:07] Zero
    Zero.
[20:23] Chu Tianjiao
    Actually, I already tried my best.
[20:25] Chu Tianjiao
    But Principal, you know how fast bikes are.
[20:28] Chu Tianjiao
    I really didn't mean it.
[20:29] Chu Tianjiao
    Oh, yes. Has the secret of the
    Dragon King been obtained?
[20:32] Chu Tianjiao
    With you here, Principal,
    it won't be a problem.
[20:35] Anjou
    I got it.
[20:37] Chu Tianjiao
    As expected of the Principal!
[20:39] Anjou
    Your next mission.
[20:41] Anjou
    Take a helicopter to Xinguo immediately.
[20:43] Anjou
    Your new identity is a hired driver.
[20:46] Anjou
    Remember, you must keep this briefcase,
[20:49] Anjou
    until I need you again.
[20:51] Anjou
    Find a girlfriend in Xinguo,
[20:54] Anjou
    and start a family.
[20:55] Anjou
    Pretend to be a normal person.
[20:59] Chu Tianjiao
    Are drivers treated well?
[21:01] Anjou
    No.
[21:02] Chu Tianjiao
    I knew it.
[21:04] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't worry.
[21:05] Chu Tianjiao
    The briefcase is definitely safe with me.
[21:09] Anjou
    Chu Tianjiao.
[21:14] Anjou
    I'm sorry.
[21:24] Anjou
    I'm sorry.
[21:29] Chu Tianjiao
    Find a girlfriend...
[21:32] Chu Tianjiao
    The principal looks down on me too much.
[21:35] Chu Tianjiao
    Old man, I'll surprise you!
[21:43] Chu Tianjiao
    Zihang, good boy.
[21:45] Chu Tianjiao
    Zihang is such a good boy!
[21:52] Giovanna
    He has black hair, like you.
[21:55] Lu Lincheng
    Let's give him a Chinese name.
[21:58] Giovanna
    Let's call him...
[22:01] Giovanna
    Lu Mingfei.

[00:10] SIGN
    When will this child be seen?
    On this day, in high autumn, he was born.
[00:11] Chu Tianjiao
    Zihang, Zihang,
[00:13] Chu Tianjiao
    Chu Zihang,
[00:15] Chu Tianjiao
    welcome to the family.
[00:16] Chu Tianjiao
    Come on, smile!
[00:21] SIGN
    Since the city first spoke his name,
    he has shared this old man's renown.
[00:21] SIGN
    Poetry is our family's art,
    passed down with worldly acclaim.
[00:24] Chu Zihang (5yo)
    Kite.
[00:25] Chu Zihang (5yo)
    Kite!
[00:26] Chu Tianjiao
    Kites are never far away
    from the person flying them,
[00:28] Chu Tianjiao
    because they are connected
    by the kite string.
[00:31] Chu Tianjiao
    It's just like our family.
[00:33] Su Xiaoyan
    I'll help.
[00:38] SIGN
    Master the depths of Literary Selections,
    leave silken robes unturned.
[00:38] SIGN
    At his frail feast, the first toast
    wavers, his seat tilting, unsteady.
[00:41] Chu Tianjiao
    Zihang, this way!
[00:42] Chu Tianjiao
    Dad is here to get you.
[00:43] Chu Tianjiao
    Get in the car.
[00:45] Chu Tianjiao
    Such heavy rain. Hurry.
[00:50] Chu Tianjiao
    Let's go.
[00:56] Chu Zihang (5yo)
    You and Mom have been arguing a lot lately.
[01:01] Chu Tianjiao
    Yes...
[01:03] Chu Tianjiao
    I might have to leave for a while.
[01:06] Chu Zihang (5yo)
    For how long?
[01:09] Chu Tianjiao
    This might be the last time I pick you up.
[01:15] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't worry. You're more
    important than anything else.
[01:19] Chu Tianjiao
    While I'm not around,
[01:20] Chu Tianjiao
    remember to give your mom a
    cup of warm milk every night,
[01:22] Chu Tianjiao
    and add a half spoonful of sugar...
[01:24] Chu Zihang (5yo)
    ...so Mom can sleep well.
[01:26] Chu Tianjiao
    That's right!
[01:28] SIGN
    Like scattered subset clouds, sip by sip, the wine spills slow and steady.
     The poet marks his son's birth, noting that it happened in mid-autumn, a time of maturity and harvest - perhaps symbolizing hope for the child's future.
     The son is now known because of his father's literary reputation. The family has a tradition of literary excellence, and the father takes pride in this heritage.
     The Wen Xuan was a classic anthology in Chinese literature.
    The father urges the son to study it deeply rather than seeking shallow praise
     The poet, likely ill or aging, struggles to sit upright during the birthday celebration. He drinks slowly, savoring the moment, but the imagery hints at life's fleeting nature.
[01:40] SIGN
    Divorce Certificate
[01:45] Chu Tianjiao
    Yes, Mom and Dad are getting divorced,
[01:48] Chu Tianjiao
    because Dad has no money.
[01:50] Chu Tianjiao
    But it's fine.
[01:52] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm going to make lots of money soon,
[01:54] Chu Tianjiao
    and then remarry your mom.
[01:55] Chu Tianjiao
    Soon, very soon.
[02:00] (Flashback) Su Xiaoyan
    Zihang, this is your new dad.
[02:02] (Flashback) New dad
    Hello, Zihang.
[02:03] SIGN
    Father
[02:05] (Flashback) New dad
    She got remarried so quickly,
[02:07] (Flashback) New dad
    and found such a rich and handsome guy.
[02:11] (Flashback) New dad
    But it's fine, Zihang.
     You'll inherit a fortune in the future.
[02:15] (Flashback) New dad
    It's not so bad,
    having two dads who love you.

[02:27] OS announcer
    This year's typhoon number 0407, "Dandelion,"

    of our city this afternoon.
[02:33] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    Hey...
[02:35] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    I-I'm Lu Mingfei. The weather
    bureau said a typhoon's coming.
[02:39] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    You should go home early.
[02:42] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    I'm leaving now.
[02:48] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    A typhoon...
[02:51] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Mom.
[02:52] Su Xiaoyan
    Zihang.
[02:53] Su Xiaoyan
    I'm shopping with my sisters.
[02:55] Su Xiaoyan
    It's raining heavily,
[02:57] Su Xiaoyan
    so call a cab and hurry home,
[02:58] Su Xiaoyan
    or call your dad and
     have him send a car, dear.
[03:05] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I just wanted to tell you that I'm fine.
[03:08] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Go ahead and have fun.
[03:11] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    Heavy, heavy rain...
[03:12] Lu Mingfei (14yo)
    Let's get home quickly!
[03:20] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I should get someone to pick me up.
[03:29] SIGN
    Dad
    Okay.
[03:29] SIGN
    Dad (New)
    
[03:33] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Can you come pick me up?
[03:34] Chu Tianjiao (OS)
    Wait at the school. I'll be there soon!
[03:39] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Can't let new dad see this.
[03:48] Chu Tianjiao
    Son!
[03:50] Chu Tianjiao
    Long time no see!
[03:51] Chu Tianjiao
    Get in! You'll get soaked.
     Come on, quickly!
[04:09] Chu Tianjiao
    Did your clothes get wet?
[04:10] Chu Tianjiao
    I turned on the heated seats for you.
[04:12] Chu Tianjiao
    This car is amazing.
[04:13] Chu Tianjiao
    It cost nine million yuan.
[04:15] Chu Tianjiao
    Our boss just bought it.
[04:16] Chu Tianjiao
    It can drive by itself.
[04:17] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Let's go.
[04:18] Chu Tianjiao
    Let me show you something cool.
[04:22] Chu Tianjiao
    Start!
[04:24] AI
    Voice confirmed.
[04:25] AI
    Starting.
[04:27] Chu Tianjiao
    A nine-million-yuan car with voice control.
[04:30] Chu Tianjiao
    Just shout and the car goes.
[04:32] Chu Tianjiao
    There are only three people
    in the world who can start it.
[04:35] Chu Tianjiao
    One is me, another is the boss...
[04:36] Chu Tianjiao
    Guess who the third one is.
[04:39] Chu Tianjiao
    It's you, silly boy.
[04:52] Chu Tianjiao
    Damn this traffic jam.
[04:54] Chu Tianjiao
    I can't unleash this
    nine-million-yuan car at all.
[05:08] Chu Tianjiao
    Are you all stupid?
[05:10] Chu Tianjiao
    Isn't there a small road
    that leads to the overpass?
[05:12] Chu Tianjiao
    Oh, I'm not sure if the overpass is closed.
[05:15] Chu Tianjiao
    Let's check it out.
[05:16] Chu Tianjiao
    Better than being stuck here.
[05:20] Chu Tianjiao
    Not a car on this small road!
[05:23] Chu Tianjiao
    Look, we can go up!
[05:26] Chu Tianjiao
    What if it's closed and we can't get down?
[05:28] Chu Tianjiao
    If you can go up, then you can get down.
[05:30] Chu Tianjiao
    It's just a matter of passing a cigarette.
[05:43] Chu Tianjiao
    Such good luck!
[05:44] Chu Tianjiao
    Let's have some music.
[05:46] Chu Tianjiao
    Music!
[05:52] Chu Tianjiao
    Not bad!
[05:53] Chu Tianjiao
    I bought it because they
    said it was a good CD.
[05:55] Chu Tianjiao
    It's about fatherly love.
[05:58] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    This song is written by a father
    for a daughter, not a son.
[06:01] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    It's not appropriate for
    you to play it to me.
[06:03] Chu Tianjiao
    You understand it?
[06:04] Chu Tianjiao
    That's right. I heard you won a
    prize in an English competition.
[06:08] Chu Tianjiao
    What's this song about?
[06:09] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    It's about a father
[06:11] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    who married off his 24-year-old daughter
    to a 14-year-old rich boy against her will
[06:15] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    so that she would have someone
    to rely on in her old age.
[06:17] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    In the end, the boy died before he grew up.
[06:21] Chu Tianjiao
    Wh-What the hell?
[06:23] Chu Tianjiao
    That's no fun. Turn it off.
[06:24] Chu Tianjiao
    Let's just chat.
[06:27] Chu Tianjiao
    Oh, did I tell you about the
     new building our company built?
[06:30] Chu Zihang (OS)
    You talk too much.
[06:32] Chu Zihang (OS)
    By relying on your mouth,
[06:34] Chu Zihang (OS)
    you've been leading on Mom from the start.
[06:36] Chu Zihang (OS)
    You've been a driver for life.
[06:38] Chu Zihang (OS)
    After deducting your monthly expenses,
[06:40] Chu Zihang (OS)
    you can't even afford to raise a cat.
[06:42] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Why did I ask you to pick me up?
[06:44] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Because when you pick me up, we can talk.
[06:47] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Why not just ask how I've been getting on?
[06:50] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Don't hold an umbrella for me.
[06:51] Chu Zihang (OS)
    You're so attentive.
[06:53] Chu Zihang (OS)
    I don't care about that.
[06:54] Chu Zihang (OS)
    I don't need a driver.
[06:57] Chu Zihang (OS)
    What a loser.
[06:59] Chu Tianjiao
    So...
[07:01] Chu Tianjiao
    How's your mom been lately?
[07:02] Chu Tianjiao
    Is she getting a nightly
    cup of warm milk
[07:04] Chu Tianjiao
    with a half spoonful of sugar?
[07:05] Chu Tianjiao
    What about your stepdad?
[07:06] Chu Tianjiao
    You need to keep an eye on him,
[07:08] Chu Tianjiao
    and don't let him have an affair,
[07:10] Chu Tianjiao
    or someone will fight you for your inheritance.
[07:12] Chu Tianjiao
    In my opinion, you should
     go to university in the country,
[07:15] Chu Tianjiao
    and get your stepdad to
    sort out your connections.
[07:18] Chu Tianjiao
    Since your stepdad is
    rich and well-connected,
[07:20] Chu Tianjiao
    he can pave the way for your future...
[07:23] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Shut up.
[07:25] Chu Tianjiao
    So many people will envy you!
[07:28] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Shut up.
[07:29] Chu Tianjiao
    What did you say?
[07:30] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Shut up!
[07:36] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm saying this for your own good.
[07:39] Chu Tianjiao
    You should listen to adults more.
[07:41] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    How useful is it to listen to you?
[07:43] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If I listen to you,
[07:44] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    can I find a girl to marry
    and not get divorced?
[07:46] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If I listen to you,
[07:47] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    then I'll just ask my stepdad
    to sort out my connections!
[07:56] Chu Tianjiao
    You're still young.
[07:58] Chu Tianjiao
    About family matters...
[08:00] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Stay out of my business.
[08:01] Chu Tianjiao
    How can you say that?
[08:03] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm your real dad.
[08:05] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Real dad...
[08:07] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If you were my real dad,
[08:09] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    you would've been at
    my parent-teacher conference.
[08:11] Chu Tianjiao
    D-Didn't the boss have
    a b-big client that day?
[08:14] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Do you remember my birthday?
[08:15] Chu Tianjiao
    How could I forget your birthday?
[08:17] Chu Tianjiao
    You're my son.
[08:18] Chu Tianjiao
    Your mom and I gave birth to you.
[08:21] Chu Tianjiao
    Men also contribute to having children.
[08:23] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Have you ever worked hard after having me?
[08:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Have you ever taken care of me?
[08:27] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Tell me what it means to be a real father.
[08:29] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    A real father means...
[08:31] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    that...
[08:33] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    my blood flows within you.
[08:39] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I know I haven't been there
     for you the last few years.
[08:42] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I'm sorry, but there is no father
    who doesn't care about his children.
[08:46] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    We're connected by blood.
[08:49] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Let's just co-exist and get along.
[08:51] Chu Tianjiao
    Having a child is like giving
    half of yourself to the child.
[08:56] Chu Tianjiao
    After all, everyone will die.
[09:00] Chu Tianjiao
    When I die, everyone will forget me,
[09:02] Chu Tianjiao
    but you'll still be here.
[09:04] Chu Tianjiao
    Half of you is me.
[09:07] Chu Tianjiao
    It'll be like I left something
    behind in this world.
[09:11] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    You know how to have children,
    but not how to raise them.
[09:14] Chu Tianjiao
    I...
[09:17] Chu Tianjiao
    I wanted to raise you...
[09:23] Chu Tianjiao
    Sit back!
[09:39] Chu Tianjiao
    Fasten your seat belt!
[09:41] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    What...
[09:41] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    What is that?
[09:44] Chu Tianjiao
    Hold on.
[09:49] Chu Tianjiao
    What's happening?
[09:59] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't be scared, son.
[10:01] Chu Tianjiao
    That is Spirit Sight.
[10:03] Chu Tianjiao
    Your bloodline is being activated.
[10:07] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Spirit Sight?
[10:11] Chu Tianjiao
    I don't know if it's your luck, or...
[10:19] Chu Tianjiao
    I always hoped that this day...
    would come later.
[10:23] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    What's going on?
[10:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Are we going to die?
[10:28] Chu Tianjiao
    It's fine, son.
[10:30] Chu Tianjiao
    Welcome to...
[10:32] Chu Tianjiao
    the real world.
[10:34] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    The real world?
[10:36] Chu Tianjiao
    Actually, I felt happier
    living in a fake world,
[10:40] Chu Tianjiao
    so I figured you'd be better off
    finding out about this later.
[10:43] Chu Tianjiao
    I always thought that if I stayed away
    from you, then you wouldn't get involved.
[10:49] Chu Tianjiao
    Oh, well.
[10:51] Chu Tianjiao
    It seems like someone has
    set the stage for us!
[11:10] Chu Tianjiao
    Divine Blade Murasame.
[11:11] Chu Tianjiao
    The original was destroyed long ago.
[11:13] Chu Tianjiao
    They reforged it with recycled metal.
[11:15] Chu Tianjiao
    It's a demon sword that has been enshrined
     in the Gion Shrine for ten years.
[11:24] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Is it dead?
[11:25] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't worry.
[11:26] Chu Tianjiao
    The Nibelungen Death Servitors
    don't have citizenship.
[11:28] Chu Tianjiao
    They're not human, so the
    law won't protect them.
[11:50] Chu Tianjiao
    This car's not bad.
[12:06] Chu Tianjiao
    Call the police.
[12:07] Chu Tianjiao
    It's useless.
[12:08] Chu Tianjiao
    This is the legendary country
    of the dead, Nibelungen.
[12:11] Chu Tianjiao
    Everything is made up of dead elements,
[12:13] Chu Tianjiao
    Even the city itself is built
     from the bones of the dead.
[12:16] Chu Tianjiao
    There's no way your phone will work.
[12:17] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Nibelungen? Death Servitors?
[12:19] Chu Tianjiao
    It's too much to explain right now.
[12:21] Chu Tianjiao
    Just think of Nibelungen as another world,
[12:23] Chu Tianjiao
    and Death Servitors are undead
    resulting from hybrids transforming.
[12:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Hybrids?
[12:26] Chu Tianjiao
    Fasten your seat belt.
[12:27] Chu Tianjiao
    This car can drive itself.
[12:29] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm going to take care of them!
[13:01] Chu Tianjiao
    Hold on!
[13:02] Chu Tianjiao
    Let's go!
[13:12] Chu Tianjiao
    All sorted!
[13:14] Chu Tianjiao
    Are you okay, son?
[13:16] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    What on earth...
[13:16] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't be scared, son.
[13:18] Chu Tianjiao
    Once a dad, always a dad.
[13:20] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm still your dad, not a monster.
[13:24] Chu Tianjiao
    You have also inherited my bloodline,
[13:27] Chu Tianjiao
    which is different from others.
[13:28] Chu Tianjiao
    If you don't want your stepdad
    to sort out your connections,
[13:30] Chu Tianjiao
    you can go abroad, since you're
    good at foreign languages.
[13:32] Chu Tianjiao
    But make sure you don't
    go to Cassel College.
[13:35] Chu Tianjiao
    The people there are crazy.
[13:37] Chu Tianjiao
    I'm telling you, you need to
    keep an eye on your stepdad.
[13:40] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Where are we going now?
[13:43] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    A toll booth?
[13:46] Chu Tianjiao
    We should be back in the normal area.
[13:48] Chu Tianjiao
    You can get off after the toll booth.
[13:49] Chu Tianjiao
    See if there's anyone
    passing by and get a ride.
[13:52] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Then... where are you going?
[13:54] Chu Tianjiao
    They'll be coming after me,
[13:56] Chu Tianjiao
    because there's something
    in the car that they want.
[13:58] Chu Tianjiao
    But it'll be fine.
[14:00] Chu Tianjiao
    Didn't you see how awesome I was just now?
[14:06] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't worry.
[14:08] Chu Tianjiao
    I still need to attend the
     parent-teacher conference.
[14:10] Chu Tianjiao
    Screw the boss!
[14:12] Chu Tianjiao
    You're the most important, son.
[14:18] Chu Tianjiao
    They...
[14:20] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Horses?
[14:22] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Why can I hear horses?
[14:25] Chu Tianjiao
    Hold on to your seat belt!
[14:31] Chu Tianjiao
    Damn...
[14:33] Chu Tianjiao
    Are you okay, son?
[14:40] Chu Tianjiao
    It's your first time seeing
    something like that.
[14:42] Chu Tianjiao
    Your worldview is bound to collapse.
[14:45] Chu Tianjiao
    But now that you've seen it,
[14:47] Chu Tianjiao
    open your eyes,
[14:49] Chu Tianjiao
    and face it.
[15:00] Chu Tianjiao
    That...
[15:02] Chu Tianjiao
    is Odin.
[15:04] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    A god?
[15:05] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't be scared.
[15:07] Chu Tianjiao
    Although I was also terrified
    when I first saw him,
[15:10] Chu Tianjiao
    but fear is useless.
[15:13] Chu Tianjiao
    Remember.
[15:14] Chu Tianjiao
    You still have me by your side.
[15:19] Chu Tianjiao
    Take the briefcase under your feet.
[15:22] Chu Tianjiao
    We'll get out together.
[15:25] Chu Tianjiao
    Long time no see, big guy.
[15:28] Odin
    The throne of god is in front of you.
[15:31] Odin
    Humans, present yourselves!
[15:35] Death Servitors
    Humans...
[15:37] Death Servitors
    We see humans again.
[15:41] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    They're speaking.
[15:41] Chu Tianjiao
    Don't worry about that.
[15:43] Chu Tianjiao
    You've disobeyed me many times before,
[15:45] Chu Tianjiao
    but this time, you must do as I say.
[15:47] Chu Tianjiao
    Remember, do not leave my side.
[15:50] Chu Tianjiao
    I know what you want.
[15:52] Chu Tianjiao
    It's right here.
[15:53] Odin
    Give me the briefcase.
[15:57] Chu Tianjiao
    Remember, when I say "run,"
[15:59] Chu Tianjiao
    you run to the car,
[16:01] Chu Tianjiao
    and don't look back.
[16:06] Chu Tianjiao
    Even if I give it to you,
[16:08] Chu Tianjiao
    I doubt you'll let us go.
[16:11] Odin
    No.
[16:12] Odin
    I promise you your lives.
[16:15] Odin
    Gods never lie to mortals.
[16:21] Chu Tianjiao
    Then you're not willing to let us go?
[16:24] Odin
    Everyone who comes to this country
[16:27] Odin
    must become a servant of god.
[16:33] Chu Tianjiao
    It seems negotiations have broken down.
[16:36] Chu Tianjiao
    Son, remember every word I told you.
[16:41] Chu Tianjiao
    Trust me! I'll be at the
     parent-teacher conference.
[16:47] Chu Tianjiao
    Here you go!
[16:48] Odin
    Don't let the briefcase get damaged!
[16:53] Odin
    It's empty.
[16:54] Chu Tianjiao
    Run!
[16:58] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Get in quickly!
[16:59] Chu Tianjiao
    Start the car!
[17:00] Chu Tianjiao
    The car can drive itself!
[17:01] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Get in the car!
[17:02] Chu Tianjiao
    Do as I say!
[17:03] Chu Tianjiao
    Remember what you promised me!
[17:04] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    But...
[17:05] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If I die, I still have
    you left in this world.
[17:08] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    But if you also die,
[17:10] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    then I'll have nothing!
[17:13] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If you stay here,
[17:14] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I can't use my ultimate moves.
[17:16] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Trust me.
[17:18] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    If you live on, we will see each other again!
[17:24] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Next time it rains,
[17:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    I'll still come pick you up, son.
[17:30] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Start!
[17:43] Odin
    Stop him!
[17:45] Chu Tianjiao
    One minute.
[17:47] Chu Tianjiao
    Stopping you for one minute
[17:49] Chu Tianjiao
    means that nine-million-yuan
    car can leave Nibelungen.
[17:53] Chu Tianjiao
    Yanling:
[17:56] Chu Tianjiao
    Zero Time!
[18:01] Chu Tianjiao
    It looks like Zero Time doesn't affect you.
[18:04] Odin
    Yanling is the language of the gods.
[18:07] Odin
    How would it affect me?
[18:10] Chu Tianjiao
    No matter what the enemy is,
[18:12] Chu Tianjiao
    I'll cut it open!
[18:57] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad!
[19:17] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    This is...
[19:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad.
[19:28] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad.
[19:31] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad.
[19:38] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad!
[19:43] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad!
[19:57] SIGN
    Overpass closed.
    Cleanup in progress.
[19:57] Passerby1
    I'll check out that side.
[20:00] Passerby2
    Everyone, nice and steady.
[20:02] Passerby1
    Who can help over here?
[20:04] Passerby2
    I'm coming.
[20:05] Passerby2
    Be careful.
[20:10] Passerby3
    Help.
[20:12] Passerby2
    Everyone, nice and steady.
[20:13] Passerby3
    Help.
[20:16] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Is this the last car?
[20:18] Police
    Yes, this is the last car.
[20:23] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    He's gone.
[20:25] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    Dad...
[20:28] Chu Zihang (15yo)
    is gone.
[20:38] Lu Mingfei
    Brother,
[20:40] Lu Mingfei
    aren't you flying to Xinguo tonight?
[20:41] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you still here?
[20:43] Chu Zihang
    I noticed the rain,
[20:45] Chu Zihang
    and a song came to mind.
[20:46] Lu Mingfei
    A song? What song? Is it nice?
[20:50] Chu Zihang
    Let's listen together.
[20:55] Chu Zihang
    An English song?
[20:56] Chu Zihang
    What are the lyrics about?
[21:00] Chu Zihang
    The lyrics...
[21:02] Chu Zihang
    are very close to one of my memories.
[21:07] Chu Zihang
    It's written by a father for a daughter...
[21:12] Chu Zihang
    Dad,
[21:15] Chu Zihang
    it's raining again.

[01:37] Anjou
    Mankind has written history without dragons,
[01:39] Anjou
    but in an alternative version,
    dragons show up everywhere.
[01:42] Anjou
    The efforts and sacrifices of the generations
[01:45] Anjou
    have buried the revived
    Dragon King to this day.
[01:51] Lars
    For those children,
    these things are still far away,
[01:55] Lars
    so there is no need for them to grieve us.
[01:58] Lars
    They still think that dragon-slaying
[02:01] Lars
    is a fun and passionate endeavor,
[02:04] Lars
    worthy of a lifetime of struggle.
[02:07] Lars
    And that's just fine.
[02:13] Lu Mingfei
    Have you detected an unknown dragon?
[02:17] Lu Mingfei
    Where am I going to find a
    dragon in broad daylight?
[02:22] Lu Mingfei
    Have you used a Yanling?
[02:25] Lu Mingfei
    I'd love to use one.
[02:26] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingze, that scammer!
[02:28] Lu Mingfei
    I risked a quarter of my
    life to get a Yanling,
[02:30] Lu Mingfei
    but it can only be used once,
[02:32] Lu Mingfei
    and there's no after-sales service!
[02:35] Lu Mingfei
    What kind of questions are these?
[02:37] Aunt
    Mingfei!
[02:38] Aunt
    Go down and buy a bag of
    sausages and some onions,
[02:41] Aunt
    and check to see if they do express delivery!
[02:43] Lu Mingfei
    I'm going! I'm going right now!
[02:49] Lu Mingfei
    Dear Ricardo, according to
    the admission information,
[02:53] Lu Mingfei
    your birthday is July 17th,
[02:55] Lu Mingfei
    and you turn 19 today.
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    On this important day,
[02:58] Lu Mingfei
    on behalf of the president and faculty in the academic affairs committee,
[03:01] Lu Mingfei
    I wish you a happy birthday.
[03:03] Lu Mingfei
    Yours sincerely, Norma.
[03:07] Lu Mingfei
    Birthday?
[03:08] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, right.
[03:10] Lu Mingfei
    Today is my birthday.
[03:14] Lu Mingfei
    Brother?
[03:15] Chu Zihang (OS)
    Happy birthday.
[03:18] Lu Mingfei
    When did I add Brother on WeChat?
[03:22] Lu Mingfei
    Chen Wenwen.
[03:28] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei.
[03:29] Chen Wenwen
    I'm Chen Wenwen.
[03:30] Chen Wenwen
    Today at 11:30 AM, the literature club is
    getting together at Sophie Ladd's Pizza House.
[03:34] Chen Wenwen
    Come along if you get this message.
[03:38] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, I'll go.
[03:41] Lu Mingfei
    Although I think it's a bit pointless,
[03:46] Lu Mingfei
    let's treat it as a goodbye to the past.
[03:48] Aunt
    Mingfei!
[03:50] Aunt
    Why haven't you left yet?
[03:51] Lu Mingfei
    I'm going right now!
[03:53] Aunt
    Your uncle broke the toilet seat.
[03:54] Aunt
    Go buy a new one at the hardware store!
[03:56] Aunt
    And cut the radish and onions and
    steam some sausages when you're back!
[03:59] Aunt
    We'll be back at 4:30 PM.
[04:01] Aunt
    Tonight's dinner is to celebrate
     Lu Mingze studying abroad.
[04:03] Aunt
    Hurry up!
[04:04] Lu Mingfei
    I'm going!
[04:08] Crowd
    All right...
[04:09] Crowd
    Almost there...
[04:10] Crowd
    Right away...
[04:11] Crowd
    Five minutes...
[04:13] Crowd
    What's going on?
[04:14] Crowd
    It's an earthquake!
[04:15] Crowd
    Don't scare me!
[04:18] Crowd
    It's really an earthquake!
[04:19] Crowd
    Look, the station...
[04:22] Crowd
    No way... This wasn't in the forecast.
[04:24] Crowd
    The train...
[04:25] Crowd
    The train station...
[04:27] Crowd
    Run!
[04:28] Crowd
    Help!
[04:30] Crowd
    Run!
[04:34] Crowd
    Run!
[04:36] Crowd
    Run!
[04:43] Crowd
    Help!
[04:45] Crowd
    Help!
[05:00] Klein
    What's going on?
[05:01] Webber
    Urgent instructions from the school board.
[05:04] Klein
    SS, the highest rank...
[05:07] Klein
    What on earth happened?
[05:09] Webber
    We lost some information in Xinguo
    that the school board urgently needs.
[05:13] Webber
    For this information, we went all out,
[05:15] Webber
    came up with a detailed plan,
[05:17] Webber
    and successfully retrieved it.
[05:19] Webber
    Then we sent our most capable people
    to bring it back to headquarters.
[05:23] Webber
    But it was lost on the way.
[05:26] Webber
    Norma.
[05:29] Jurgen
    I've seen this hall before.
    It's the south train station!
[05:32] Jurgen
    It's Lu Mingfei's hometown.
[05:34] Webber
    This morning,
[05:36] Webber
    it was destroyed by a magnitude 3 earthquake.
[05:38] Webber
    At that time,
[05:39] Webber
    our specialist Raymond was waiting
    for the train with that information.
[05:44] Webber
    He was cut to pieces.
[05:46] Webber
    The information was lost.
[05:48] Klein
    Raymond...
[05:53] Webber
    The school board has given us a deadline of
    19:00 local time to retrieve it.
[05:58] Webber
    There isn't enough time to
    send an investigation team.
[06:01] Webber
    We'll have to send people nearby.
[06:03] Klein
    Who have you picked?
[06:04] Webber
    A-ranked Chu Zihang, and S-ranked Lu Mingfei.
[06:07] Webber
    Both of them have absolute
    bloodline advantages.
[06:11] Webber
    And both of them
[06:12] Webber
    are there in Xinguo right now,
    on summer vacation.
[06:22] Chu Zihang
    Hello, Professor?
[06:23] Webber (OS)
    Urgent mission, ranked SS.
[06:26] Chu Zihang
    SS?
[06:27] Webber (OS)
    You have to retrieve an important
    piece of information by 19:00 today.
[06:31] Webber (OS)
    Norma has already sent you the
    detailed mission instructions.
[06:35] Webber (OS)
    She has booked a direct flight to
    Anguo tonight for you and Lu Mingfei.
[06:39] Webber (OS)
    Come back immediately after
    retrieving the information.
[06:41] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei?
[06:42] Webber
    The specialist for this mission
    is the S-ranked Lu Mingfei.
[06:46] Webber
    Your job is to support him
    and follow his instructions.
[06:50] Chu Zihang
    Understood.
[07:13] Xu Yanyan
    Lu Mingfei, are you okay?
[07:16] Lu Mingfei
    I'm fine.
[07:17] Xu Yanyan
    Then why do you have a toilet seat?
[07:18] Lu Mingfei
    It's comfortable to sit on.
[07:21] Su Xiaoqian
    So this is what they teach
     in foreign elite universities.
[07:26] Xu Miaomiao
    It must be his major.
[07:29] Lu Mingfei
    I'm going to the bathroom.
[07:31] Su Xiaoqian
    It really suits you!
[07:36] Lu Mingfei
    Zhao Mengfa.
[07:38] Zhao Mengfa
    Why did you suddenly open the door?
[07:39] Lu Mingfei
    I'm fine.
[07:40] Zhao Mengfa
    I'm not!
[07:41] Zhao Mengfa
    You did that on purpose!
[07:42] Lu Mingfei
    Did I?
[07:43] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei.
[07:46] Lu Mingfei
    Long time no see.
[07:49] Lu Mingfei
    Hi!
[07:50] Lu Mingfei
    I... I'm going to the bathroom.
[07:53] Xu Yanyan/Miaomiao
    Boss, you're here!
[07:56] Xu Yanyan
    Let's order! I'm hungry!
[07:58] Xu Yanyan
    I'm going to eat a lot!
[08:03] Lu Mingfei
    It's only been one semester,
[08:05] Lu Mingfei
    but I can't seem to communicate
    with these old classmates.
[08:10] Lu Mingfei
    Finger?
[08:12] Finger
    Happy birthday!
[08:13] Finger
    Happy birthday to you!
[08:15] Finger
    Be happy every day of your life!
[08:17] Finger
    Don't worry about how your birthday goes!
[08:19] Finger
    Hey, hey!
[08:21] Finger
    This is the first Chinese song
    I learned to sing.
[08:23] Finger
    You know that I'm as poor as a dog,
[08:25] Finger
    so forget any gifts that cost money.
[08:29] Lu Mingfei
    At least you still remember me.
[08:30] Liu Miaomiao
    Don't follow me.
[08:31] Zhao Mengfa
    Listen to me. It's not what it looks like.
[08:33] Liu Miaomiao
    What's it look like?
[08:34] Liu Miaomiao
    I see her pestering you all the time.
[08:36] Liu Miaomiao
    Have you told her?
[08:37] Lu Mingfei
    Why are... these two in the men's bathroom?
[08:40] Zhao Mengfa
    We broke up already.
    What's there to say?
[08:43] Liu Miaomiao
    So you haven't told her?
[08:44] Zhao Mengfa
    There's really no need.
[08:46] Zhao Mengfa
    Do you know
[08:47] Zhao Mengfa
    how annoying she can be?
[08:48] Zhao Mengfa
    If I tell her, she'll definitely berate me,
[08:50] Zhao Mengfa
    like I owe her something.
[08:54] Liu Miaomiao
    If we break up in the future,
[08:56] Liu Miaomiao
    will you say the same thing about me?
[08:59] Zhao Mengfa
    How could I?
[09:02] Zhao Mengfa
    I'd be crazy or stupid to break up with you.
[09:05] Liu Miaomiao
    Hey, there are people here.
[09:07] Liu Miaomiao
    Let go.
[09:08] Liu Miaomiao
    What if someone sees us?
[09:11] Liu Miaomiao
    Let's go back.
[09:12] Zhao Mengfa
    All right. Let's go and
    have a good meal first.
[09:20] Lu Mingfei
    Making out in public...
[09:22] Lu Mingfei
    Do I look dead?
[09:24] Lu Mingfei
    Is he talking about Chen Wenwen?
[09:26] Lu Mingfei
    So they've already broken up.
[09:29] Lu Mingfei
    They are already more men than women,
[09:31] Lu Mingfei
    yet you're having your cake and
    eating it too, Zhao Mengfa.
[09:33] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, well. It's actually none of my business.
[09:36] Zhao Mengfa
    This pizza is delicious. Have more.
[09:38] Liu Miaomiao
    I've had enough.
[09:39] Liu Miaomiao
    I've put on some weight recently,
    so I need to eat less.
[09:42] Liu Miaomiao
    Then drink some more.
[09:44] Liu Miaomiao
    It's fine. I'll do it myself.
[09:49] Zhao Mengfa
    Everyone's here.
[09:51] Zhao Mengfa
    As everyone is here today,
[09:53] Zhao Mengfa
    I have something to announce.
[09:54] Xu Yanyan
    What is it, boss?
[10:01] Xu Miaomiao
    Wh-What is that?
[10:11] Zhao Mengfa
    You guys can't go after
    Liu Miaomiao anymore.
[10:16] Zhao Mengfa
    We're...
[10:18] Zhao Mengfa
    getting engaged.
[10:21] Xu Yanyan
    No wonder we're having a gathering today.
[10:23] Xu Yanyan
    You're awesome, boss!
[10:25] Xu Miaomiao
    Not even leaving a shred of hope for us.
[10:26] Xu Yanyan
    Come on, put on the ring.
[10:27] Su Xiaoqian
    Yeah, let's take a picture.
[10:28] Xu Miaomiao
    Picture, picture!
[10:30] Lu Mingfei
    After hearing all this,
    she must be the most upset.
[10:33] Lu Mingfei
    Congrats, boss!
[10:34] Lu Mingfei
    May you have a happy marriage!
[10:35] Su Xiaoqian
    Congratulations!
[10:38] Su Xiaoqian
    May you have a happy marriage!
[10:41] Su Xiaoqian
    May you have a happy marriage!
[10:42] Lu Mingfei
    Don't you have a shred of decency?
[10:51] Xu Yanyan
    Lu Mingfei...
[10:54] Zhao Mengfa
    Lu Mingfei, it's none of your business!
[10:56] Lu Mingfei
    You're right!
[10:57] Lu Mingfei
    It's none of my business!
[10:59] Lu Mingfei
    Even though you're happy,
    you should give her a way out.
[11:02] Lu Mingfei
    Announcing your engagement to your
    current girlfriend in front of your ex...
[11:04] Lu Mingfei
    You're doing this on purpose.
[11:06] Zhao Mengfa
    Say that again!
[11:07] Xu Yanyan
    We're all classmates. Let it go.
[11:08] Lu Mingfei
    Come on!
[11:09] Xu Miaomiao
    Calm down.
[11:10] Liu Miaomiao
    That's enough! What day is it today?
[11:13] Liu Miaomiao
    Why are you bothering with him?
[11:16] Zhao Mengfa
    Fine, I won't bother with you.
[11:18] Zhao Mengfa
    Waiter! The bill!
[11:20] Zhao Mengfa
    I'll treat everyone to Yiguo cuisine tonight.
[11:24] Waiter (male)
    Hello, here's your bill.
[11:25] Zhao Mengfa
    Let this guy pay his own bill!
[11:28] Xu Miaomiao
    D-Do you have money?
[11:31] Lu Mingfei
    I'll pay for the entire bill.
[11:34] Lu Mingfei
    Swipe the card.
[11:35] Lu Mingfei
    My S-rank Cassel College student ID card
[11:38] Lu Mingfei
    has a credit limit of
    over 100,000 An dollars!
[11:42] OS (machine voice)
    Card swipe failed.
[11:44] Waiter (male)
    It's been declined.
[11:45] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe the signal is bad!
[11:46] Lu Mingfei
    Please try again! Try again!
[11:49] OS (machine voice)
    Card swipe failed.
[11:50] Lu Mingfei
    It can't have a problem!
[11:51] Su Xiaoqian
    Lu Mingfei,
[11:51] Lu Mingfei
    Please try again!
[11:53] Su Xiaoqian
    will you stay and do the dishes,
[11:54] Su Xiaoqian
    or perhaps fix the toilet seat?
[11:56] Waiter (male)
    Sir, do you have other methods of payment?
[11:58] Waiter (male)
    I-I don't have any money in my WeChat.
[12:01] Waiter (male)
    I, I, I...
[12:02] Chu Zihang
    I'll pay in cash.
[12:07] Lu Mingfei
    Brother?
[12:17] Chu Zihang
    Foreign currency?
[12:18] Waiter (male)
    Yes, we accept that.
[12:18] Chu Zihang
    Keep the change.
[12:22] Xu Miaomiao
    So much?
[12:24] Waiter (male)
    Thank you.
[12:25] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, why are you here?
[12:27] Chu Zihang
    The college has an urgent mission,
[12:29] Chu Zihang
    and they're waiting for you to lead it.
[12:30] Chu Zihang
    Boss.
[12:34] Liu Miaomiao
    Boss?
[12:35] Zhao Mengfa
    Who the hell are you?
[12:38] Chu Zihang
    Chu Zihang.
[12:39] Chu Zihang
    We're all alumni.
[12:42] Liu Miaomiao
    Chu Zihang?
[12:44] Liu Miaomiao
    Chu Zihang?
[12:45] Xu Miaomiao
    Chu Zihang is Lu Mingfei's younger brother?
[12:47] Chu Zihang
    Boss, the car's waiting outside.
[12:54] Lu Mingfei
    Then... let's go!
[13:06] Lu Mingfei
    The toilet seat...
[13:06] Chu Zihang
    Allow me.
[13:09] Su Xiaoqian
    Lu Mingfei... actually asked
    Chu Zihang to get the toilet seat.
[13:21] Lu Mingfei
    My whole reputation is always supported
    by my brothers and sisters.
[13:25] Lu Mingfei
    I really want to have a moment
    to stand up for myself.
[14:00] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks... for backing me up today.
[14:03] Lu Mingfei
    I'll pay you back.
[14:04] Chu Zihang
    The college has arranged a mission.
[14:06] Chu Zihang
    You're in charge. I'm supporting you.
[14:08] Chu Zihang
    So you're the boss today, no joke.
[14:10] Lu Mingfei
    Mission?
[14:11] Lu Mingfei
    I'm the boss?
[14:13] Lu Mingfei
    Are they making fun of me?
[14:16] Lu Mingfei
    A mission tonight...
[14:18] Lu Mingfei
    Such a difficult mission!
[14:20] Lu Mingfei
    The college thinks too highly of me.
[14:25] Chu Zihang
    I... listened outside the
    room for two minutes.
[14:28] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Brother is so nosy,
    and listened for two minutes!
[14:32] Chu Zihang
    I know you liked Chen Wenwen
    when you were at school.
[14:35] Chu Zihang
    The whole school knew.
[14:37] Lu Mingfei
    For real? I thought I hid it pretty well.
[14:39] Chu Zihang
    I don't mind you putting your foot on the seat,
[14:41] Chu Zihang
    but it's not safe at this speed.
[14:44] Lu Mingfei
    Sorry.
[14:45] Chu Zihang
    It's okay.
[14:45] Chu Zihang
    As you haven't said anything,
[14:47] Chu Zihang
    I found a topic to talk to you about.
[14:50] Lu Mingfei
    Well...
[14:51] Lu Mingfei
    Actually...
[14:53] Lu Mingfei
    We can talk about business.
[14:55] Chu Zihang
    Chen Wenwen knew that you liked her,
    but pretended not to notice,
[14:58] Chu Zihang
    treated you badly, and used you as a lackey.
[15:01] Chu Zihang
    Why are you still standing up for her now?
[15:05] Lu Mingfei
    She didn't treat me badly.
[15:08] Lu Mingfei
    Me liking her has nothing to do with it.
[15:11] Chu Zihang
    Zhao Mengfa is unhappy
[15:12] Chu Zihang
    because Chen Wenwen used
    to be his girlfriend.
[15:15] Chu Zihang
    And she still likes him.
[15:16] Chu Zihang
    Psychologically, he is
    still possessive of her.
[15:19] Chu Zihang
    He can throw her away,
[15:21] Chu Zihang
    but he doesn't want others
    to stand up for her.
[15:23] Chu Zihang
    Why did you do that?
[15:24] Lu Mingfei
    I'm just stupid, and can't stand
    seeing people being bullied.
[15:28] Lu Mingfei
    Anyway, you won't be bullied, Brother.
[15:30] Lu Mingfei
    You don't get it!
[15:35] Chu Zihang
    Get out.
[15:36] Lu Mingfei
    What?
[15:36] Chu Zihang
    Quick.
[15:39] Chu Zihang
    Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.
[15:44] Xu Yanyan
    Boss, it's too hot.
[15:46] Xu Yanyan
    Let's have some ice cream.
[15:49] Zhao Mengfa
    Who told you to wear so much?
[15:50] Xu Yanyan
    It looked cool outside.
[15:52] Su Xiaoqian
    Did you used to have a crush on Chu Zihang?
[15:55] Liu Miaomiao
    Yeah.
[15:56] Liu Miaomiao
    But he never even looked at me.
[16:00] Xu Yanyan
    Boss...
[16:00] Su Xiaoqian
    How did such a handsome guy become
    Lu Mingfei's younger brother?
[16:04] Zhao Mengfa
    Soon, I'll let you guys eat a lot!
[16:08] Su Xiaoqian
    Why...
[16:09] Xu Yanyan
    Chu Zihang...
[16:10] Su Xiaoqian
    Did he come back?
[16:12] Chu Zihang
    Chen Wenwen,
[16:14] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei said he wants to
    take you out to dinner tonight.
[16:16] Chu Zihang
    He's made a reservation at the
    Aspasia restaurant tonight,
[16:18] Chu Zihang
    for 6:30 PM.
[16:20] Chu Zihang
    I've already passed on the
    message from the boss.
[16:21] Chu Zihang
    Do you accept?
[16:23] Zhao Mengfa
    Tsk.
[16:25] Chen Wenwen
    Yes.
[16:26] Chu Zihang
    Here is the address.
[16:29] Chu Zihang
    Bye.
[16:48] Lu Mingfei
    Fortunately, he didn't leave
    me behind in a fit of rage.
[16:51] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe I misunderstood him just now.
[16:53] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, you're a really good driver.
[16:55] Chu Zihang
    My dad taught me.
[16:57] Chu Zihang
    Happy birthday.
[16:59] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks, Brother.
[17:01] Lu Mingfei
    I was so touched when I got your message.
[17:04] Chu Zihang
    Not going out to eat on your birthday?
[17:06] Chu Zihang
    Changing the toilet seat?
[17:09] Lu Mingfei
    My aunt didn't give birth to me,
[17:12] Lu Mingfei
    so it's natural that she doesn't remember.
[17:14] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, how do you usually
    spend your birthday?
[17:16] Chu Zihang
    Cake, presents, party...
[17:18] Chu Zihang
    It's about the same every year.
[17:20] Chu Zihang
    Do you like Italian food?
[17:22] Lu Mingfei
    Never had it before.
[17:23] Lu Mingfei
    I like to eat meat.
[17:24] Chu Zihang
    Good.
[17:26] Chu Zihang
    Hello, Aspasia Restaurant?
[17:28] Chu Zihang
    I'd like to make a reservation
    for two tonight.
[17:29] Female Manager (OS)
    I'm sorry, sir, the entire restaurant
    has been booked tonight.
[17:33] Chu Zihang
    Can you add another table?
[17:34] Female Manager (OS)
    I'm very sorry. Please try somewhere else.
[17:36] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[17:37] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... Let's go to another restaurant.
[17:39] Chu Zihang
    It's already been scheduled,
    so let's not change it.
[17:42] Chu Zihang
    Connect me to Finger.
[17:44] Finger
    Hello!
[17:45] Finger
    What can I do for you, Brother Chu?
[17:47] Chu Zihang
    Finger, I will post a reward
    later with the user ID of Murasame,
[17:51] Chu Zihang
    Can you help me get it pinned to the top?
[17:55] Student1
    Chu Zihang has posted a reward!
[17:58] Student1
    I want a reservation for 18:30 tonight.
[18:03] Student1
    Coordinates: 26.08774 N, 119.28439 E.
[18:04] Student2
    The poster is willing to
    exchange it for a "favor."
[18:07] Student2
    Wow, that's amazing!
[18:08] Student3
    A favor from Chu Zihang.
[18:10] Student2
    Oh, my god!
[18:11] Student1
    ...for two at Aspasia Restaurant.
[18:13] Student1
    The name on the reservation is...
[18:15] Student1
    ...Lu Mingfei!
[18:17] Student1
    This is very difficult...
[18:22] Parsi
    Master, your classmate called.
[18:24] Parsi
    Seems to be an member of the Student Union.
[18:26] Caesar
    Who is it?
[18:27] Finger (OS)
    Your loyal henchman, Finger!
[18:29] Caesar
    What's up?
[18:30] Finger (OS)
    Boss, Chu Zihang has offered a reward!
[18:33] Caesar
    Chu Zihang?
[18:34] Finger
    Chu Zihang said the he promises
    to do one thing for
[18:36] Finger
    whoever can help Lu Mingfei sort out a
    reservation at the Aspasia Restaurant tonight,
[18:40] Finger
    so long as it's within his ability
    and doesn't violate ethics.
[18:43] Finger
    Basically, he just offered a favor:
[18:45] Finger
    find him if you have a problem.
[18:47] Caesar
    What a joke!
[18:48] Caesar
    Lu Mingfei is a member of the
    Student Union and belongs to me.
[18:51] Caesar
    If he needs help, he should
    come to me and I'll help him!
[18:55] Caesar
    Call the mint club for me and
    specify the Aspasia Restaurant.
[18:59] Caesar
    I want the best table,
    the best chefs and the best waiters.
[19:02] Caesar
    Everything must be perfect!
[19:05] Parsi
    Yes, sir.
[19:06] Caesar
    After you've sorted it out,
[19:07] Caesar
    send a message to my classmate.
[19:09] Caesar
    His name is Lu Mingfei.
[19:16] Lu Mingfei
    It's Boss Caesar.
[19:18] Caesar (OS)
    Happy birthday.
[19:20] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I'm so lucky to receive the blessings
[19:21] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    from the presidents of the
    Lionheart Society and the Student Union.
[19:28] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    This world is so strange.
[19:30] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Some people think I'm a pile of shit,
[19:32] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    and other people think I'm treasure.
[19:36] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, where are we going now?
[19:39] Chu Zihang
    The ruins of the south train station.
[19:41] Chu Zihang
    We don't have a lead on
     who took the information,
[19:42] Chu Zihang
    so we need to investigate the scene.
[19:45] Lu Mingfei
    How long will it take?
[19:46] Lu Mingfei
    Can we hurry? I'm worried about getting home late.
[19:48] Lu Mingfei
    The toilet seat won't be changed.
[19:50] Lu Mingfei
    And the onions and sausages...
[19:52] Chu Zihang
    Tell me what you need.
[19:53] Chu Zihang
    I'll get professionals to do it.
[19:55] Lu Mingfei
    O-Okay.
[19:56] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks, Brother.
[20:00] Chu Zihang
    Now is when the patrol changes shifts.
[20:03] Chu Zihang
    This is the only time to avoid the
    security and enter the south station.
[20:07] Lu Mingfei
    Wow...
[20:09] Lu Mingfei
    Was the earthquake that strong?
[20:11] Lu Mingfei
    I didn't feel it at all!
[20:13] Chu Zihang
    Yes, it's hard to imagine.
[20:15] Chu Zihang
    The structure of the station is very stable,
[20:17] Chu Zihang
    and should withstand
    a magnitude 8 earthquake.
[20:18] Chu Zihang
    This morning's small
    earthquake was magnitude 3,
[20:20] Chu Zihang
    so it shouldn't even be damaged.
[20:24] Lu Mingfei
    That's very strange.
[20:25] Chu Zihang
    Let's go in.
[20:38] Tang Wei
    Whiskey on the rocks?
[20:39] Tang Wei
    XO? Or...
[20:41] Tang Wei
    Do you want a chicken nugget meal?
[20:49] Boss Mai
    Where is it?

    Now my key can finally be useful.
[21:06] Boss Mai
    The dragon bones are hidden
    in the cellar of the college.
[21:08] Boss Mai
    What an unexpected reward.
[21:11] Boss Mai
    We finally meet, old friend.
[21:14] Tang Wei
    I risked my life to grab this
    document at the south train station.
[21:17] Boss Mai
    Shut up.
[21:26] Boss Mai
    You're very efficient.
[21:27] Boss Mai
    I'm very satisfied.
[21:28] Tang Wei
    Yes...
[21:33] Tang Wei
    Hey, you forgot something!
[21:36] Boss Mai
    A courier will pick it up at 7:00 PM.
[21:38] Boss Mai
    Just give it to him.
[21:39] Boss Mai
    If he doesn't pick it up,
[21:41] Boss Mai
    you know the consequences.
[21:53] Tang Wei
    There are still three hours until 7:00 PM.
[21:56] Tang Wei
    In three hours,
[21:58] Tang Wei
    I can wash my hands of this.

[02:17] Lu Mingfei
    It's like the sky fell.
[02:19] Lu Mingfei
    The damage is too severe.
[02:21] Chu Zihang
    The collapse pattern doesn't make sense.
[02:23] Chu Zihang
    If it were a normal earthquake,
    the destruction wouldn't be so concentrated.
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    What about the casualties?
[02:28] Chu Zihang
    There weren't many people since the station just started operating.
[02:32] Lu Mingfei
    How lucky...
[02:35] Chu Zihang
    Bloodstains...
[02:36] Chu Zihang
    Raymond might have been
    standing here at the time.
[02:40] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, what can you tell from all
    this broken glass on the ground?
[02:44] Chu Zihang
    We can't see anything,
    but there's someone who can.
[02:49] Chu Zihang
    There's an ability to imagine the situation
    at the time through observation.
[02:52] Lu Mingfei
    Who are you video calling, Brother?
[02:54] Chu Zihang
    Someone you know.
[02:57] Chu Zihang
    Can you see my surroundings clearly?
[02:59] Nono
    Very clearly.
[03:00] Nono
    Norma's already filled me in,
    so I understand everything.
[03:04] Nono
    Right now I need you to walk along
    Raymond's route at the time,
[03:07] Nono
    and I'll try to recreate the situation.
[03:09] Lu Mingfei
    Nono?
[03:11] Lu Mingfei
    Should... I say hello to her?
[03:14] Nono
    Who's on your left?
[03:15] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? I'm not on screen.
[03:17] Lu Mingfei
    How did she know someone's there?
[03:19] Chu Zihang
    It's Lu Mingfei. He's the
    specialist of this mission.
[03:22] Chu Zihang
    I'm supporting him.
[03:23] Nono
    Tell him to move aside,
    he'll interfere with my judgment.
[03:27] Chu Zihang
    Move aside.
[03:28] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[03:30] Lu Mingfei
    She didn't even bother
    to wish me a happy birthday.
[03:33] Chu Zihang
    Let's begin.
[03:34] Nono
    Right now, you are Raymond,
    carrying important documents.
[03:37] Nono
    He's just walked into
    the south train station.
[03:39] Nono
    He's unfamiliar with the place,
    so he'll definitely stop to look at signs.
[03:44] Nono
    Keep going forward.
    The departure floor is upstairs.
[03:52] Nono
    Stop there.
[03:53] Nono
    Look down. There should be footprints.
[03:55] Chu Zihang
    There are lots.
[03:56] Nono
    Yes, there should be a leak above.
[04:00] Nono
    From the different footprints and
    spacing left behind Raymond,
[04:03] Nono
    you can tell that he's already
    been targeted by this time.
[04:05] Nono
    Raymond will continue to move forward,
[04:07] Nono
    then stop and turn his head.
[04:10] Nono
    He will take in his surroundings.
[04:12] Nono
    It's his habit and in line with
    the College's investigation process.
[04:16] Nono
    Nothing aroused Raymond's
    suspicion at this point,
[04:19] Nono
    and he continued to move forward
    15 meters to the ticket gate.
[04:22] Nono
    Just stop there for a bit.
[04:24] Nono
    Take another look around.
[04:29] Nono
    He didn't see anything unusual and
    prepared to enter the station.
[04:33] Nono
    After that, the collapse began.
[04:37] (Flashback) Crowd
    Earthquake! No!
[04:40] (Flashback) Crowd
    Run! Earthquake!
[04:45] Nono
    The place where he died was
    very close to the bench.
[04:47] Nono
    With his training, he would
    have hidden under the bench.
[04:51] Nono
    But he didn't,
[04:52] Nono
    which means that he encountered danger
    in a place where he couldn't escape.
[04:56] Nono
    The conclusion is very clear.
[04:58] Nono
    The information was lost within
    a few minutes of his death.
[05:01] Chu Zihang
    Why within a few minutes?
[05:03] Nono
    Someone stepped in Raymond's blood,
    and the bloodstains are fuzzy.
[05:06] Nono
    So this happened when the blood was fresh.
[05:08] Nono
    Although the scene had lots of footprints,
    only this footprint was near Raymond.
[05:13] Nono
    Judging by the footprints,
[05:14] Nono
    this person's steps were weak
    and he's not highly trained.
[05:18] Nono
    He must have escaped through the
    nearest exit, which is to your right.
[05:28] Nono
    The thief drove a high horsepower vehicle.
[05:30] Nono
    Its tires softened from the heat.
[05:32] Nono
    He was nervous and floored the accelerator,
    leaving behind these tire tracks.
[05:35] Nono
    I don't need to help you with the rest.
[05:38] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[05:38] Nono
    Oh, I have another theory
    for you to think about.
[05:41] Nono
    There was a third person present at the time.
[05:46] Nono
    That person saw the thief steal the
    information after Raymond's death,
[05:49] Nono
    and the thief would have
     seen that person, too.
[05:51] Nono
    The thief's shoes were bloody,
    and his footprints turned around,
[05:55] Nono
    which means that he saw
    something of concern,
[05:58] Nono
    most likely a person.
[05:59] Chu Zihang
    What kind of person?
[06:00] Nono
    I don't know. I just put together
    all the images you sent over,
[06:04] Nono
    and felt that someone was
    watching everything at that time.
[06:07] Chu Zihang
    Understood, thanks.
[06:10] Nono
    Bye!
[06:11] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, how's the investigation going?
[06:14] Chu Zihang
    Almost done. I think
    we can solve it tonight.
[06:17] Lu Mingfei
    That's good, that's good!
[06:19] Chu Zihang
    I have more experience than you,
[06:20] Chu Zihang
    so for now, I'll handle the
    operational details for you.
[06:22] Chu Zihang
    Can we meet at 19:25 at the
    Runde Towers, specialist?
[06:26] Lu Mingfei
    Of course! I trust you to do the job!
[06:43] SIGN
    Chen
[06:44] (Flashback) Chen Family (old man)
    Tell me, on that day at
    the bottom of the sea,
[06:47] (Flashback) Chen Family (old man)
    what happened between you
    and Dragon King Norton?
[06:50] (Flashback) Chen Family (old man)
    You were so badly injured.
    How are you still alive?
[06:56] (Flashback) Nono
    I... won't tell you.
[06:58] (Flashback) Chen Family (old man)
    Continue.
[07:07] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Nono...
[07:08] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Nono...
[07:09] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Nono...
[07:11] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Don't die!
[07:13] (Flashback) Nono
    Ricardo...
[07:20] Susie
    Are you okay?
[07:23] Nono
    I'm fine.
[07:25] Susie
    Sorry, I was just messing around with you.
[07:29] Nono
    I don't feel well. I'm going to the sauna.
[07:31] Susie
    By the way, did you remember that
    today is Lu Mingfei's birthday?
[07:36] Susie
    Did you message him?
[07:37] Nono
    I remember.
[07:42] Susie
    It feels like Nono has become
    a different person lately.
[07:52] Norma
    The tire tracks found by
    Chu Zihang were left by a large SUV.
[07:56] Norma
    and this is the most suspicious
    name on the list of owners.
[07:59] Norma
    The Millennium Labor Export Company.
[08:02] Norma
    The company's registered
    address is the Runde Towers.
[08:04] Klein
    The Millennium Labor Export Company?
[08:07] Klein
    I know that name. It's the
    Hunter Organization's company.
[08:10] Webber
    Correct, and it's headed
    by a guy named Tang Wei.
[08:13] Webber
    The Hunters are a loose organization
    hired to help people solve problems.
[08:18] Webber
    It's a complex organization made up
     of desperate outlaws and rogues.
[08:23] Webber
    The jobs they accept are in the
    grey area between legal and illegal.
[08:28] Webber
    They generally do not
    murder or commit arson,
[08:30] Webber
    but they steal, dig graves
    and loot artifacts.
[08:34] Klein
    In any case, a major part of their
    work is related to the Dragon Raja,
[08:39] Klein
    and they have a small number of
     hybrids among their members.
[08:43] Klein
    Those outlaws who broke into the College on
    motorcycles earlier were from that organization.
[08:48] Webber
    Yes, Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire,
[08:51] Webber
    was a professional hunter working in New York
    before he awakened as a Dragon King.
[08:55] Webber
    Back then, he was just a punk.
[08:58] Webber
    So far, the College has avoided
    direct contact with the Hunters.
[09:02] Webber
    Apart from when they broke into the College,
[09:04] Webber
    the petty fights of the Hunters
    rarely infringe on College interests.
[09:08] Klein
    But this time is different.
[09:10] Klein
    They actually dared to kill Raymond,
    an execution bureau specialist,
[09:13] Klein
    and took the school board's
    important information!
[09:16] Webber
    We've only got four hours before the school board
    asks for the information to be returned.
[09:21] Webber
    We don't have time to waste.
[09:22] Webber
    Let's take direct action.
[09:24] Klein
    The school board has already made a move.
[09:26] Webber
    Oh?
[09:27] Klein
    They seem to be suspicious of Chu Zihang.
[09:30] Klein
    Besides appointing Lu Mingfei
    as the mission specialist,
[09:32] Klein
    they also sent the people on this
    list to assist in the mission.
[09:37] Webber
    Why would they send these people out?
[09:42] Webber
    These politicians who only know how to
    give orders simply don't understand
[09:46] Webber
    that they can't help Chu Zihang.
[09:49] Webber
    He is unable to work with others.
[09:51] Webber
    Every mission he's ever been on
    was actually completed by him alone.
[09:56] Aunt
    Hurry up! The elevator doors are closing!
[10:00] Uncle
    I'm so tired. What's for dinner tonight?
[10:03] Aunt
    I asked Lu Mingfei to cut
    carrots, steam sausages,
[10:06] Aunt
    chop some spring onions,
    and soak the rice noodles.
[10:07] Aunt
    Doesn't Mingze like to eat
    crossing-the-bridge noodles?
[10:10] Aunt
    Tonight, we'll have rib stew with
    carrots, rice noodles with rib soup,
[10:13] Aunt
    and Guangdong sausages.
[10:14] Aunt
    I also bought salmon, so I'll prepare
    some sashimi for my favorite son.
[10:19] Lu Mingze (little bro)
    Sounds good, Mom.
[10:25] Aunt
    How unrefined.
[10:27] Aunt
    Why are you back so late?
[10:29] Lu Mingfei
    Aunt!
[10:30] Aunt
    Where have you been?
[10:31] Aunt
    I told you to steam sausages,
    chop onions, cut carrots,
[10:34] Aunt
    and buy a toilet seat.
    Have you done all that?
[10:36] Lu Mingfei
    It's finished... Finished. All finished.
[10:40] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I need to have faith.
[10:41] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I trust Chu Zihang.
[10:42] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I trust Chu Zihang.
[10:44] Aunt
    Hanging out all day...
[10:46] Aunt
    Don't you know there's a family dinner tonight to celebrate Lu Mingze studying abroad?
[10:49] Aunt
    Preparing dinner for him is the
    most important thing today!
[10:53] Aunt
    I will check your work carefully later.
[10:55] Aunt
    If you've made a mistake, I will punish you!
[10:57] Lu Mingfei
    Yes... Yes...
[10:59] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I trust Chu Zihang.
[11:01] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I trust Chu Zihang.
[11:03] Aunt
    Where did you put the chopped
    carrots and spring onions?
[11:05] Aunt
    I need them right now—
[11:07] Uncle
    Huh?
[11:12] Aunt
    Robbery! Take the money in the
    desk drawer! Don't hurt us!
[11:13] Lu Mingze
    Thieves!
[11:15] Uncle
    Help! Help!
[11:18] Head of College Labor Dept and 3 people
    Greetings, specialist Lu!
[11:23] Lu Mingfei
    You guys are... from
    the College's labor department.
[11:26] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, guys.
[11:27] Head of College Labor Department
    We have completed all the missions
    assigned by your deputy Chu Zihang.
[11:31] Head of College Labor Department
    Please inspect.
[11:33] Lu Mingfei
    Good. Thanks for your hard work.
[11:38] Head of College Labor Department
    Although the mission was to
    replace the toilet seat,
[11:40] Head of College Labor Department
    we realized that your toilet was too old,
[11:42] Head of College Labor Department
    so we took the initiative to replace
    it with the latest AI toilet model,
[11:45] Head of College Labor Department
    which has 4,000 modes built in.
[11:47] Head of College Labor Department
    In addition, we also replaced all the
    plumbing in the building for this.
[11:50] Head of College Labor Department
    Of course, if you still
    like the original toilet,
[11:53] Head of College Labor Department
    we can also restore it immediately.
[11:55] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... no. This is good.
[11:58] Lu Mingze
    What's the point of an AI toilet?
[12:00] Aunt
    I-I don't know.
[12:02] Head of College Labor Department
    Please go to the living room
    to see the steamed sausages.
[12:04] Head of College Labor Department
    The mission was to steam sausages,
[12:06] Head of College Labor Department
    but we didn't know your taste,
[12:08] Head of College Labor Department
    so we prepared three flavors:
[12:09] Head of College Labor Department
    spicy, five-spice and Cantonese.
[12:12] Lu Mingfei
    How thoughtful.
[12:13] Lu Mingze
    They're all delicious.
[12:15] Head of College Labor Department
    Next, the shredded carrots
    and chopped spring onion.
[12:18] Head of College Labor Department
    They're all here.
[12:19] Lu Mingfei
    Did you guys have to chop all the carrots?
[12:22] Lu Mingfei
    Are you... making hot sauce with
    so much chopped spring onion?
[12:25] Head of College Labor Department
    The mission didn't require
    us to make hot sauce.
[12:28] Head of College Labor Department
    To be honest, cooking is not our strong suit.
[12:30] Head of College Labor Department
    That concludes our mission report.
[12:31] Head of College Labor Department
    Do you have any other
    requests, specialist Lu?
[12:34] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... no. We've already troubled you enough.
[12:37] Head of College Labor Department
    Then we will take our leave.
[12:38] Head of College Labor Department
    There is a dedicated driver
    waiting for you downstairs.
[12:40] Head of College Labor Department
    He will take you to the
    location of the next mission.
[12:42] Lu Mingfei
    Okay. I'll change and go downstairs.
[12:45] Head of College Labor Department
    Goodbye.
[12:47] Lu Mingfei
    Bye.
[12:54] Aunt
    Lu Mingfei.
[12:55] Lu Mingfei
    Y-Yes?
[12:56] Aunt
    Asking these mysterious
    people to do housework...
[12:59] Aunt
    Are you showing off to me?
[13:01] Lu Mingfei
    O-Of course not—
[13:02] Aunt
    You asked the special forces to chop carrots?
[13:04] Aunt
    If that isn't showing off, what is it?
[13:06] Aunt
    Today's the family dinner to celebrate
    Lu Mingze studying abroad,
[13:09] Aunt
    so you deliberately made such a scene!
[13:11] Aunt
    You want to embarrass him, right?
[13:12] Lu Mingfei
    How would I?
[13:14] Aunt
    You just look down on Mingze!
[13:14] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I understand. So my aunt and
    I don't live in the same world at all!
[13:18] Aunt
    You just can't stand me ordering you around!
[13:19] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    In my aunt's world, I am ruthless and dark,
[13:20] Aunt
    You're great, you've got a bunch of people
    to stir up trouble, you're ruthless!
[13:23] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    look down on Lu Mingze,
    and have Anguo's education.
[13:24] Aunt
    Your family has been stepping
    on me all my life! Bullying me!
[13:27] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I was cowardly before, so I should continue
    to be cowardly and keep my head down.
[13:28] Aunt
    I'm not as educated and
    well-mannered as your mother.
[13:30] Aunt
    Mingze is not as stylish and presentable
    as you, without Anguo's education.
[13:31] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I should live my life
    by keeping my head down
[13:34] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    and quietly getting by.
[13:37] Aunt
    I... I raised you for nothing.
[13:40] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    That's...
[13:42] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Lu Mingze's...
[13:46] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Today is also my birthday.
[13:51] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I've never eaten...
[13:53] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    a piece of birthday cake
    that belongs to me in my life.
[13:59] Driver
    A table for two has been
    reserved at Aspasia tonight,
[14:01] Driver
    and your dinner with Miss Chen
    Wenwen will start at 6:30 PM.
[14:04] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Isn't there a mission tonight?
[14:06] Lu Mingfei
    What dinner? I don't know.
[14:08] Driver
    In accordance with the plan
    of your deputy Chu Zihang,
[14:10] Driver
    you will have dinner with
    Miss Chen Wenwen at the Aspasia first.
[14:13] Driver
    You have 40 minutes to eat,
[14:15] Driver
    and at 19:00, I will take you to
    the Runde Towers for your mission.
[14:18] Lu Mingfei
    But Brother didn't tell me in advance.
[14:22] Lu Mingfei
    Chen Wenwen.
[14:24] Lu Mingfei
    Today is my birthday,
[14:27] Lu Mingfei
    so Brother specially made
    a reservation for me.
[14:32] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I think I understand why I always
    act cowardly in front of my aunt.
[14:36] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    It's because this simple three-bedroom
    flat in the community is like my home.
[14:42] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I am different from other
    people at Cassel College.
[14:44] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I don't want to be lonely.
[14:46] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    I just want to have a home to
    go back to like normal people.
[14:49] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    But Cassel College is another path in life.
[14:51] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Once you start down this fork in the path,
[14:53] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    the door to your past life is closed,
[14:55] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    and you can only move forward,
    never to return to the human world.
[15:01] Norma
    The Runde Towers are twin buildings,
    divided into tower A and tower B.
[15:04] Klein
    The core objective is to break into the
    21st floor of tower A of the Runde Towers,
[15:08] Klein
    where the information should be located.
[15:10] Webber
    The security of the Runde Towers
    is actually very tight.
[15:13] Webber
    The developer has contracted the
    building's security to the Hunters,
[15:16] Webber
    so the whole building
     is full of their people.
[15:18] Webber
    If the operation exceeds ten
    minutes, the police will arrive,
[15:22] Webber
    and the Hunters will have time
    to move the information.
[15:25] Jurgen
    So little time? The elevator
    hasn't even arrived yet.
[15:28] Klein
    We won't take the elevator.
[15:29] Klein
    We'll take the direct route.
[15:39] Webber
    Have you read the action plan?
[15:41] Chu Zihang
    This mission is very easy.
    I can handle it by myself.
[15:43] Chu Zihang
    I don't need the labor department's help.
[15:45] Chu Zihang
    They're too flashy.
[15:46] Webber
    Obey the order.
[15:48] Webber
    They will meet you at the door
    of tower B in five minutes.
[15:51] Chu Zihang
    Yes, sir.
[15:56] Tang Wei
    Why... Why isn't he here yet?
[16:00] Tang Wei
    Hello? Is there a courier
    on the way to tower A?
[16:02] Security
    No.
[16:04] Tang Wei
    Is the mall in tower B closed?
[16:05] Security
    Yes, in accordance with your
    instructions, it's closed today.
[16:08] Security
    Now we're the only ones in the building.
[16:09] Tang Wei
    Good.
[16:14] Tang Wei
    Ah... This weather is really uncomfortable.
[16:17] Tang Wei
    Let's take one last look
    at the Hunter website.
[16:22] Tang Wei
    Mail?
[16:24] Tang Wei
    "Bye-bye"?
[16:27] Tang Wei
    The meaning of "bye-bye"...
[16:30] Tang Wei
    can also be "farewell"?
[16:47] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks.
[16:50] Lu Mingfei
    I'm going... to such a high-end restaurant?
[16:56] Old butler
    Greetings, Mr. Ricardo M. Lu.
[16:59] Lu Mingfei
    Hello.
[17:00] Old butler
    The Aspasia is reserved tonight.
[17:02] Old butler
    You are our only VIP.
[17:05] Lu Mingfei
    Thank you for your help.
[17:07] Old butler
    Your guest is already seated
    on the second floor.
[17:53] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei.
[17:56] Lu Mingfei
    Hello.
[18:12] Green Jersey Leader
    Chu Zihang, all personnel are in position.
[18:16] Green Jersey Leader
    When will the mission begin?
[18:18] Chu Zihang
    You have three minutes to prepare.
[18:20] Chu Zihang
    Professor Webber will send orders
    directly to your headset.
[18:22] Chu Zihang
    Park the van farther away,
    so it does not attract attention.
[18:25] Green Jersey Leader
    Understood.
[18:26] Chu Zihang
    I'll go in first.
[18:32] Security
    The mall is closed today.
[18:33] Chu Zihang
    I'm a courier.
[18:34] Chu Zihang
    Flower delivery.
[18:35] Chu Zihang
    Tower B, suite 906.
[18:37] Security
    Boss, flower delivery for
    tower B, suite 906.
[18:39] Security
    Do we let him in?
[18:40] Tang Wei
    906?
[18:43] Tang Wei
    They open tomorrow.
[18:44] Tang Wei
    He's also a big client of ours.
[18:47] Tang Wei
    Just one person?
[18:48] Security
    Yes.
[18:49] Tang Wei
    Keep an eye on him!
[18:50] Tang Wei
    No one can enter tower A!
[18:52] Security
    Understood.
[18:54] Tang Wei
    He's not coming.
[18:58] Chu Zihang
    I'm already in tower B.
[19:00] Klein
    Very good.
[19:01] Klein
    The five-man team will help you attract all
    the security in tower B to the ground floor.
[19:04] Klein
    You can go directly into tower A
    through the connecting bridge.
[19:06] Chu Zihang
    Okay.
[19:07] Klein
    Start the mission!
[19:12] Lu Mingfei
    How have you been?
[19:16] Chen Wenwen
    Very good.
[19:18] Chen Wenwen
    Is it hard for you to be alone abroad?
[19:21] Lu Mingfei
    It's all right.
[19:23] Lu Mingfei
    Sorry.
[19:25] SIGN
    Start the mission
[19:27] Lu Mingfei (OS)
    Start the mission?
[19:29] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    Can we meet at 19:25 at the
    Runde Towers, specialist?
[19:33] Lu Mingfei
    Didn't we agree that the
    mission would be at 7:25 PM?
[19:37] Lu Mingfei
    But the dinner...
[19:39] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei, what's the matter?
[19:41] Lu Mingfei
    Sorry, something important
    came up and I have to leave.
[19:42] Chen Wenwen
    Huh? Lu Mingfei?
[19:44] Lu Mingfei
    The bill's been paid. I'm off!
[19:53] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[19:56] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, I'm coming, right now!
[19:59] Security
    I'm telling you...
[20:01] Security2
    Huh?
[20:08] Adi Wang
    Useless.
[20:15] Security3
    Boss, there's an intruder in tower B.
[20:16] Tang Wei
    Deal with him immediately.
    Stop him from entering tower A at all costs!
[20:20] Security3
    Yes, sir! All security personnel,
    get to the first floor immediately! Now!
[20:43] Hoodie
    Sorry, can't let you guys go down there.
[20:57] Security
    He's in front! Catch him!
[21:08] Green Jersey Leader
    Road closed!
[21:09] Surveillance Security1
    Who are these people?
    Where did they come from?
[21:11] Surveillance Security2
    Boss, what now?
[21:13] Surveillance Security2
    We've already lost too many people.
[21:34] Klein
    Report your positions.
[21:35] Chu Zihang
    Passing over the connecting
    bridge. No obstacles.
[21:37] Klein
    The security in tower A have
    not left their positions.
[21:39] Klein
    Deal with them as fast as you can.
[21:41] Klein
    You have seven minutes to
    retrieve the information.
[21:43] Chu Zihang
    Understood.
[22:03] Chu Zihang
    I've entered tower A successfully.
[22:04] Klein
    Go to the 21st floor immediately.
[22:06] Klein
    The information is there.

    not left their positions.
[01:39] Klein
    Deal with them as fast as you can.
[01:41] Klein
    You have seven minutes to
    retrieve the information.
[01:58] Chu Zihang
    I've entered tower A successfully.
[01:59] Klein
    Go to the 21st floor immediately.
    The information is there.
[02:02] Chu Zihang
    Understood.
[02:08] Xia Mi
    The game...
[02:10] Xia Mi
    has finally begun.
[02:12] Xia Mi
    Words engraved on the stone.
[02:14] Xia Mi
    Thorns and viscera of years gone.
[02:18] Xia Mi
    Be the rain. Be the dust.
[02:20] Xia Mi
    Bow down now, before my face.
[02:22] Xia Mi
    Show your awe, under my gaze.
[02:25] Xia Mi
    For I'm your king.
[02:26] Xia Mi
    Your past, your future.
[02:29] Xia Mi
    Your ears are for my songs,
    and your bones, fingers, pulse
[02:34] Xia Mi
    For the king's voice.
[02:36] Xia Mi
    My rhythm shall take your life.
[02:39] Xia Mi
    Your ashes shall be your pride.
[02:41] Xia Mi
    I'm the reason.
[02:43] Xia Mi
    I'm the rule.
[02:52] Xia Mi
    Not bad.
[02:53] Xia Mi
    Let's continue.
[02:54] Xia Mi
    I permit you to obey, before my eyes.
[02:58] Webber
    What's wrong?
[02:58] Klein
    I... can hear a Yanling.
[03:01] Webber
    A Yanling?
[03:02] Klein
    If I heard correctly,
[03:03] Klein
    someone on the other side
    is using King's Servant.
[03:06] Webber
    King's Servant?!
[03:08] Webber
    Our intel didn't mention any hybrids capable
     of using Yanling in this security company.
[03:13] Webber
    The rank of King's Servant isn't high,
[03:15] Webber
    but it can turn a group of
    normal people into an army!
[03:19] Klein
    Chu Zihang, someone on the other side
    can use the King's Servant Yanling,
[03:22] Klein
    so don't hold back!
[03:24] Chu Zihang
    King's Servant...
[03:27] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[03:30] Xia Mi
    Your ears are for my songs
[03:32] Xia Mi
    and your bones, fingers, pulse
[03:36] Xia Mi
    For the king's voice.
[03:39] Xia Mi
    My rhythm shall take your life.
[03:42] Xia Mi
    Your ashes shall be your pride.
[03:45] Xia Mi
    I'm the reason.
[03:47] Xia Mi
    I'm the rule.
[03:49] Xia Mi
    Words engraved on the stone.
[03:52] Xia Mi
    Thorns and viscera of years gone.
[03:55] Xia Mi
    Be the rain. Be the dust.
[04:11] Chu Zihang
    This incantation... is the Yanling ranked 29th.
[04:15] Chu Zihang
    King's Servant.
[04:16] Chu Zihang
    It causes chosen targets within
    the caster's domain
[04:19] Chu Zihang
    to receive a temporary physical enhancement.
[04:22] Chu Zihang
    The maximum limit of the enhancement
    can reach the limit of the human body.
[04:26] Chu Zihang
    Why is there someone in the Runde Towers
    who can use such a high-level Yanling?
[04:32] Chu Zihang
    It seems like there's a serious
    discrepancy in the intel.
[05:16] Chu Zihang
    Although it's not fatal,
[05:18] Chu Zihang
    my attack is enough to paralyze
    their bodily functions.
[05:21] Chu Zihang
    Why... can they still stand up?!
[05:38] Chu Zihang
    They're not pursuing?
[05:43] Chu Zihang
    Do they want me on the suspension bridge?
[05:45] Chu Zihang
    What are they trying to do?
[05:49] Xia Mi
    Words engraved on the stone.
[05:51] Xia Mi
    Thorns and viscera of years gone.
[05:55] Xia Mi
    Be the rain. Be the dust.
[05:57] Xia Mi
    Bow down now, before my face.
[06:00] Xia Mi
    Show your awe, under my gaze.
[06:02] Xia Mi
    For I'm your king.
[06:04] Xia Mi
    Your past, your future.
[06:06] Chu Zihang
    Death Servitors?
[06:06] Xia Mi
    Your ears are for my songs,
    and your bones, fingers, pulse
[06:12] Xia Mi
    For the king's voice.
[06:15] Xia Mi
    My rhythm shall take your life.
[06:17] Xia Mi
    Your ashes shall be your pride.
[06:20] Xia Mi
    I'm the reason.
[06:22] Xia Mi
    I'm the rule.
[06:44] Chu Zihang
    Dad...
[07:00] Sneakers
    What happened?
[07:02] Wide Pants
    I don't know! Did something hit the building?!
[07:04] Adi Wang
    What the hell?!
[07:17] Chu Zihang
    The suspension bridge's cables... broke!
[07:20] Chu Zihang
    So... forcing me onto the
    suspension bridge was a trap.
[07:23] Chu Zihang
    Wanna kill me?
[07:29] Chu Zihang
    Blood Rage!
[07:59] Chu Zihang
    Sorry...
[08:01] Chu Zihang
    I can't let you... waste any more of my time.
[08:17] Adi Wang
    The suspension bridge!
[08:18] Adi Wang
    The suspension bridge fell!
[08:19] Adi Wang
    What happened? Is Chu Zihang okay?
[08:22] Captain
    The College hasn't stopped the mission.
[08:23] Captain
    Chu Zihang should be fine.
[08:25] Captain
    The question now is,
[08:26] Captain
    isn't that car ours?
[08:28] Captain
    Who was driving it?
[08:30] Adi Wang
    I don't know, but I still
    have the car keys. How...
[08:34] Captain
    Since it's the enemy, shoot!
    Destroy the driver!
[08:37] Adi Wang
    Then I...
[08:38] Hoodie
    Let me.
[08:40] Adi Wang
    Be careful!
[08:43] Hoodie
    There's no one... in the driver's seat?!
[08:48] Adi Wang
    No one was driving it?
[08:49] Adi Wang
    It... drove here by itself!
[08:54] Captain
    It seems...
[08:55] Captain
    we're in trouble!
[10:27] Chu Zihang
    You... Death Servitors...
[10:32] Chu Zihang
    You... took away my dad...
[10:36] Xia Mi
    The effect of Blood Rage
    is indeed significant.
[10:40] Xia Mi
    With the blessing of King's Servant,
[10:42] Chu Zihang
    Took away my dad...
[10:43] Xia Mi
    you should be able to
    enter the illusion soon.
[10:49] Chu Zihang
    I've waited for six years!
[11:03] Chu Zihang
    What is the enemy?
[11:05] Chu Zihang
    Just... cut it open!
[12:00] Chu Zihang
    You guys...
[12:02] Chu Zihang
    Why are you here?
[12:04] Chu Zihang
    You shouldn't be here.
[12:07] Chu Zihang
    You should be in Nibelungen or Hell.
[12:13] Chu Zihang
    From the heights of Babylon,
    burn into the sun!
[12:18] Chu Zihang
    Ruler's Flames!
[12:26] Xia Mi
    What a happy night.
[12:28] Xia Mi
    Thank you, Chu Zihang.
[12:32] Norma
    Personnel have lost contact.
[12:33] Norma
    Repeat, personnel have lost contact.
[12:34] Jurgen
    Wh-Wh-What's going on?!
[12:34] Klein
    What happened?! Where's the image?!
[12:36] Klein
    What the hell happened?
[12:37] Jurgen
    It's all because of that driverless car.
[12:39] Klein
    Damn it!
[12:41] Klein
    Where is Chu Zihang? Where is Chu Zihang?
[12:43] Klein
    First floor strike team,
    withdraw immediately!
[12:46] Captain
    Orders received. Everyone, withdraw
    from the Runde Towers immediately!
[12:49] Team
    Yes, sir!
[12:49] Klein
    Mission aborted!
[12:51] Webber
    No, the mission continues.
[12:54] Webber
    I know where Chu Zihang is.
[12:56] Webber
    Norma.
[12:57] Norma
    Identifying the source
    of Chu Zihang's signal.
[13:01] Klein
    That's...
[13:02] Webber
    Chu Zihang is fine.
[13:05] Webber
    He's on the 21st floor.
[13:08] Jurgen
    Thank God.
[13:09] Klein
    What is he doing?
[13:10] Webber
    I don't know.
[13:12] Webber
    But he has never let me down.
[13:14] Webber
    He will bring back what we need.
[13:17] Webber
    We have over two minutes left.
[13:18] Webber
    There's still time.
[13:20] Klein
    Two minutes?
[13:21] Klein
    He should be coming down the
    elevator with the information already!
[13:25] Klein
    The entire plan is off schedule!
[13:27] Klein
    Order your students to withdraw immediately!
[13:29] Webber
    Don't worry.
[13:30] Webber
    He will complete the mission,
[13:32] Webber
    and retrieve the information by himself.
[13:37] Klein
    What is this?
[13:38] Webber
    This is the real version of
    his previous mission report.
[13:42] Webber
    I polished up the one you found in Norma.
[13:50] Webber
    Now you understand, right?
[13:52] Webber
    The current situation
    isn't difficult for him.
[13:55] Webber
    I just hope he doesn't make
    things too complicated.
[14:00] Klein
    Do... Do you know what your student is?
[14:05] Webber
    I don't know, but he is very useful.
[14:08] Klein
    But you don't trust him,
[14:10] Klein
    so you planted a tracking device on him.
[14:13] Klein
    Does he know?
[14:15] Webber
    He doesn't know.
[14:16] Webber
    It's not a matter of trust.
[14:19] Webber
    It's like having a sharp knife.
[14:21] Webber
    You always keep an eye on it
[14:24] Webber
    to avoid accidentally hurting someone.
[14:27] Klein
    Where is Chu Zihang's tracking device?
[14:31] Webber
    He had a tooth filled at
    the College infirmary,
[14:33] Webber
    and the tracking device was implanted
    in his wisdom tooth at that time.
[14:37] Webber
    It was covered with a titanium crown,
[14:40] Webber
    so it doesn't show up on X-rays.
[14:43] Jurgen
    Huh? Even someone with such an
    excellent bloodline gets cavities?
[14:47] Webber
    I actually felt a little relieved
    when I found out he had a cavity.
[14:52] Webber
    Don't worry.
[14:54] Webber
    He'll complete the mission soon,
[14:56] Webber
    and bring back what we need.
[15:18] Chu Zihang
    There's someone...
[15:21] Chu Zihang
    up there...
[15:23] Chu Zihang
    I need to...
[15:26] Chu Zihang
    go up.
[15:35] Tang Wei
    Come, you bastard!
[15:37] Tang Wei
    There's only one entrance to this safehouse.
[15:39] Tang Wei
    It's this elevator!
[15:41] Tang Wei
    Come, come!
[15:42] Tang Wei
    I have you in my sights!
[15:44] Tang Wei
    I don't care who you are. I'm not afraid!
[15:47] Tang Wei
    Even the most powerful person
    will be killed by bullets.
[15:50] Tang Wei
    I have a gun, so who am I afraid of?
[16:00] Tang Wei
    He exploded up... from beneath the floor!
[16:03] Tang Wei
    Bastard! Bastard!
    Die, die, die, die, die!
[16:14] Chu Zihang
    Die...
[16:16] Chu Zihang
    Everyone...
[16:19] Chu Zihang
    must die.
[16:24] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[16:25] SIGN
    Chu Zihang
[16:26] Lu Mingfei
    Answer the phone, Brother.
[16:29] Lu Mingfei
    Please, please don't get into any trouble.
[16:32] Lu Mingfei
    I'll be there soon.
[16:59] Lu Mingfei
    Brother... Brother, Brother!
[17:03] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei.
[17:09] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, Brother, Brother!
[17:11] Lu Mingfei
    Answer the phone, Brother!
[17:14] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[17:24] Chu Zihang
    Am I... being controlled?
[17:28] Chu Zihang
    By King's Servant...
[17:32] Tang Wei
    Don't... Don't kill me.
[17:33] Tang Wei
    No, no, no... Don't... Don't...
[17:36] Chu Zihang
    Is that... your father?
[17:42] Tang Wei
    Yes, yes! That is my father!
[17:44] Tang Wei
    My... My father!
[17:47] Chu Zihang
    Treat him well.
[17:51] Chu Zihang
    I don't have much time.
[17:53] Chu Zihang
    You took something you shouldn't have taken.
[17:55] Tang Wei
    I... I know. It's on the sofa!
[17:59] Chu Zihang
    Did you open it?
[18:00] Tang Wei
    I wouldn't dare!
[18:01] Tang Wei
    We wouldn't dare look at
     our clients' private files.
[18:04] Tang Wei
    It was meant to be sent out tonight,
[18:05] Tang Wei
    but you came, so...
[18:14] Chu Zihang
    Sorry for causing you financial loss.
[18:17] Tang Wei
    I-It's okay.
[18:20] Tang Wei
    Could it be... Is he the courier?
[18:26] Tang Wei
    Dad, I'll be home for dinner tonight.
[18:28] Tang Wei
    Leave me something hot.
[18:33] Klein
    Mission accomplished.
[18:35] Klein
    You were right.
[18:36] Klein
    Chu Zihang was fully capable of
    completing the mission by himself.
[18:40] Klein
    But at the same time,
    he cannot work with others.
[18:43] Klein
    His bloodline is too strong.
[18:45] Webber
    In pursuit of the strongest students,
[18:48] Webber
    only the strongest are acceptable.
[18:51] Webber
    The rest are not.
[18:54] Klein
    But because he is the strongest,
    he has once again encountered problems.
[18:58] Klein
    One minute and 50 seconds into the mission,
[19:00] Klein
    he completely deviated
     from the plan as outlined.
[19:03] Klein
    We have no idea what he did during
    those three minutes and 10 seconds.
[19:07] Klein
    Also, he caused a significant
    amount of damage.
[19:10] Klein
    Cleaning up after this
    incident will not be easy.
[19:15] Webber
    Yes.
[19:17] Webber
    According to the mission report,
[19:19] Webber
    he might have been on the verge
    of losing control this time.
[19:33] Klein
    I can pretend not to know,
[19:36] Klein
    but you must find a way to handle it.
[19:41] Webber
    Sometimes, I'd rather he was like
    Lu Mingfei, with no special abilities.
[19:46] Jurgen
    Nonsense!
[19:48] Jurgen
    Mingfei is full of inspiration.
[19:51] Klein
    Oh? Then tell me, what was your
     valued disciple doing during the mission?
[19:56] Jurgen
    Uh... He... He...
[19:58] Webber
    During the mission, he was
    on a date with a girl.
[20:01] Jurgen
    Huh?
[20:02] Webber
    But he left quickly,
[20:04] Webber
    and is now heading to the scene
[20:07] Webber
    to meet up with Chu Zihang.
[20:12] Xia Mi
    Uh-oh, it seems like he was disturbed.
[20:15] Xia Mi
    Otherwise, Chu Zihang, who lost control,
    would definitely have destroyed this block.
[20:25] Xia Mi
    Oh, well.
[20:27] Xia Mi
    I got you to use Blood Rage,
    so it wasn't in vain.
[20:31] Xia Mi
    I'm looking forward to
    meeting properly next time.
[20:56] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[20:58] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[21:03] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[21:05] Lu Mingfei
    H-How did you get injured like this?
[21:11] Chu Zihang
    Mingfei...
[21:13] Lu Mingfei
    Brother. Brother, you...
[21:16] Lu Mingfei
    How did you get injured like this, Brother?
[21:19] Lu Mingfei
    I... I... I...
[21:23] Lu Mingfei
    Brother! Bro—
[21:26] Chu Zihang
    I'm fine.
[21:29] Chu Zihang
    Just let me lean on your
    shoulder for a bit.
[21:33] Chu Zihang
    Thank you, Lu Mingfei.
[21:39] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[21:42] Chu Zihang
    It was you...
[21:45] Chu Zihang
    who made the rain...
[21:47] Chu Zihang
    stop.
[21:51] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.

    Episode 6
[01:41] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Brother, did you get
    what the College wanted?
[01:45] Chu Zihang
    I've already handed it over
    to the special forces.
[01:47] Chu Zihang
    They'll get it to the College
    through confidential channels.
[01:49] Lu Mingfei
    I see.
[01:50] Chu Zihang
    Also, according to the plan, we have
    to rush to the airport immediately.
[01:53] Chu Zihang
    Our flight is at midnight.
[01:54] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, right. I forgot that we have
    to return to the College tonight.
[01:57] Chu Zihang
    I need to go back and get my passport.
[01:59] Lu Mingfei
    But, my passport...
[02:00] Chu Zihang
    The special forces have already
    picked up your things.
[02:02] Chu Zihang
    They'll give them to you at the airport.
[02:05] Lu Mingfei
    Okay...
[02:15] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, your injury seems
    to be healing quickly.
[02:18] Chu Zihang
    Blood Rage accelerates
    cellular regeneration,
[02:20] Chu Zihang
    so this injury shouldn't be a problem.
[02:22] Lu Mingfei
    What is Blood Rage?
[02:23] Chu Zihang
    It's a technique that instantly enhances
     a bloodline through spiritual cultivation.
[02:28] Chu Zihang
    Even a hybrid can use
    Blood Rage to briefly gain strength
[02:32] Chu Zihang
    nearly on par with a pure-blooded dragon.
[02:34] Chu Zihang
    It's very useful on dragon-slaying missions.
[02:38] Lu Mingfei
    I see.
[02:40] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, do you need me to help you inside?
[02:42] Chu Zihang
    No, I'm fine.
[02:53] Lu Mingfei
    Although your injuries have healed,
[02:56] Lu Mingfei
    you still look tired, Brother.
[03:03] Lu Mingfei
    Are these the only options around here?
[03:05] Lu Mingfei
    They'll have to do.
[03:54] Chu Zihang
    My body should be fine,
[03:56] Chu Zihang
    and there are no signs of scarring.
[03:59] Chu Zihang
    My internal organs feel good too,
    so everything should be fine.
[04:04] Chu Zihang
    But this...
[04:05] Chu Zihang
    This the shard of glass that
    got stuck in me during the fight...
[04:09] Chu Zihang
    I should be able to remove it.
[04:15] Chu Zihang
    My blood is highly corrosive,
[04:17] Chu Zihang
    so it can't let any drip in this room.
[04:32] Chu Zihang (internal)
    I don't look any different,
[04:35] Chu Zihang (internal)
    just a little pale.
[04:50] Chu Zihang (internal)
    In this house, I'm a different person:
[04:55] Chu Zihang (internal)
    a good student,
[04:57] Chu Zihang (internal)
    obedient, one who loves playing
    basketball and reading,
[05:01] Chu Zihang (internal)
    with no bad habits or violent tendencies.
[05:05] Chu Zihang (internal)
    I'm the "model son"
    my parents are proud of.
[05:07] Chu Zihang (internal)
    If they saw these bloody things,
    they probably wouldn't be so proud.
[05:13] Chu Zihang (internal)
    They would think they had raised a monster.
[05:32] Chu Zihang (internal)
    I guess I won't have time to say
    goodbye before I go.
[05:35] Chu Zihang (internal)
    Mom is just like that,
    dead to the world in her sleep.
[05:41] Aunt Tong
    Zihang, are you back?
[05:43] Aunt Tong
    Huh? Are you leaving?
[05:46] Chu Zihang
    Yes, I have a night flight.
[05:48] Aunt Tong
    Why didn't you tell your parents?
[05:51] Aunt Tong
    We could've had dinner together
    and let the driver take you.
[05:54] Chu Zihang
    I told them yesterday that
    Dad is busy tonight.
[05:57] Aunt Tong
    That's right. Your dad is also having
    dinner with a business partner tonight.
[06:01] Chu Zihang
    Don't let my mom sleep in the living
    room in the future. She'll catch a cold.
[06:05] Aunt Tong
    I didn't, she was just
    cooking in the kitchen
[06:09] Aunt Tong
    and asked me to buy
    vinegar at the supermarket.
[06:10] Aunt Tong
    When I came back, she was asleep.
[06:12] Chu Zihang
    Cooking?
[06:13] Chu Zihang
    Oh, no!
[06:15] Aunt Tong
    Huh? What...
[06:18] Aunt Tong
    Oh, Zihang...
[06:25] Aunt Tong
    Are you okay?
[06:29] Chu Zihang
    What is this?
[06:31] Aunt Tong
    This... This looks like...
[06:33] Aunt Tong
    Oh, I see, your mom was making dumplings!
[06:36] Chu Zihang
    Dumplings?
[06:36] Aunt Tong
    Yes.
[06:37] Aunt Tong
    Your mom must have thought you
    were going on a long trip,
[06:39] Aunt Tong
    so she wanted to make dumplings for you.
[06:55] Chu Zihang
    It can't be eaten anymore.
[06:56] Chu Zihang
    Let's just throw it away.
[07:01] Aunt Tong
    All right.
[07:02] Chu Zihang
    Aunt Tong, remember to buy this
    low-fat milk for my mom every day.
[07:05] Chu Zihang
    She won't drink anything else.
[07:07] Chu Zihang
    Add a sugar cube and microwave
    on low for five minutes.
[07:10] Chu Zihang
    Make sure she drinks it
    every night before bed.
[07:12] Aunt Tong
    Yes, I know.
[07:14] Aunt Tong
    Same as always.
[07:17] Chu Zihang
    I'm leaving.
[07:19] Aunt Tong
    Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mom?
[07:20] Chu Zihang
    I'm not used to saying goodbye.
[07:22] Chu Zihang
    Every time she sees me off,
    she gives me a big kiss.
[07:36] Caesar
    Come in.
[07:40] Parsi
    Master, the principal said you
    might need something to drink.
[07:44] Caesar
    The principal called me
    here for the board meeting.
[07:48] Caesar
    Is everyone here?
[07:49] Parsi
    The last one has just arrived.
[07:56] Caesar
    The last one?
[07:58] Caesar
    There are seven board members,
    so one must be missing.
[08:02] Parsi
    I've never seen the last one in attendance,
[08:04] Parsi
    and I don't know his name.
[08:06] Parsi
    His identity is top secret.
[08:10] Caesar
    They spend loads of money
    on the College every year,
[08:12] Caesar
    but they never exercise their authority.
[08:15] Caesar
    These board members are really interesting.
[08:18] Parsi
    The board members didn't invest
    in Cassel College for the money.
[08:20] Caesar
    So, why did they do it, then?
[08:23] Parsi
    They've all come this far on the blood
    of dragons, and their goals are...
[08:28] Parsi
    far-reaching.
[08:32] Caesar
    Are they also members of this generation's
    secret party, the Council of Elders?
[08:35] Parsi
    No. The Council of Elders
    is a hidden organization,
[08:37] Parsi
    and the school board is a visible one.
[08:40] Parsi
    The principal is the executive
    chosen by the school board.
[08:43] Caesar
    So the Council of Elders is
    still the highest authority?
[08:47] Caesar
    Not necessarily.
[08:48] Caesar
    The Council of Elders and the school board
    are like Yingguo's upper and lower houses.
[08:51] Caesar
    Who holds the power depends
    on the situation.
[08:54] Caesar
    Right now, power is indeed concentrated
    in the hands of the principal,
[08:57] Caesar
    who also has significant influence
    over the school board.
[09:01] Caesar
    So, facing these powerful people,
[09:05] Caesar
    am I supposed to just wait here?
[09:06] Caesar
    Wait for them to call me in?
[09:09] Parsi
    Today, all the powerful
    people are here for you.
[09:12] Parsi
    They can't wait to see you.
[09:16] Caesar
    Powerful people...
[09:35] Anjou
    Now that everyone is present,
[09:38] Anjou
    we will officially begin this year's annual
    meeting of the Cassel College school board.
[09:52] Anjou
    Frost, there's no need to continue with the
    old tradition of tapping on the table to speak.
[09:56] Anjou
    This is an internal meeting.
[09:58] Frost
    Some rules can't be changed arbitrarily.
[10:02] Frost
    Is the Bronze Report ready?
[10:05] Anjou
    Yes, it's the stack of papers
    in front of each of you.
[10:13] Charlotte
    The Emperor of Bronze and Flames... is dead?
[10:23] Frost
    Dead? Anjou, is this report true?
[10:28] Frost
    No one has ever verified the
     death of a Dragon Emperor.
[10:32] Anjou
    Absolutely true.
[10:34] Frost
    Please present the evidence.
[10:39] Anjou
    The evidence is in this box.
[10:42] Anjou
    Everyone is free to examine it.
[10:44] Old man twirling Buddhist beads
    I'll do it.
[10:49] Old man twirling Buddhist beads
    The Philosopher's Stone?
[10:51] Elizabeth
    The great miracle of alchemy,
    the Philosopher's Stone?
[10:54] Elizabeth
    Anjou, what do you mean by presenting it?
[10:57] Anjou
    Evidence. Evidence that
    the Dragon Emperor is dead.
[11:00] Middle-aged man
    No way. The Philosopher's Stone is precious,
[11:03] Middle-aged man
    but it doesn't prove anything.
[11:05] Anjou
    Maybe someone else can explain
    it more convincingly.
[11:08] Anjou
    Charlotte, you're an expert in alchemy.
[11:11] Anjou
    Would you mind explaining it to everyone?
[11:13] Charlotte
    Sure.
[11:15] Charlotte
    The Philosopher's Stone is the
    crystallization of spiritual elements.
[11:18] Charlotte
    Because it contains impurities,
[11:20] Charlotte
    it usually appears as a
    dark, coarse crystal.
[11:23] Charlotte
    This object may resemble
    the Philosopher's Stone,
[11:25] Charlotte
    but it's actually another substance
    refined from pure fire elements.
[11:29] Elizabeth
    Please explain how to
    refine pure fire elements.
[11:31] Charlotte
    The only method I know for refining the four
    elements of earth, water, wind, and fire
[11:35] Charlotte
    is to use the bones of the
    corresponding dragon kings.
[11:38] Charlotte
    Therefore, this fire element was refined from
     the bones of the Emperor of Bronze and Flames.
[11:44] Old man twirling Buddhist beads
    Dragon Emperor Norton.
[11:46] Anjou
    Not Norton,
[11:47] Anjou
    but his brother, the
    Dragon Emperor Constantine.
[11:51] Frost
    Crystals made from Constantine's bones?
[11:56] Frost
    Anjou, are you saying that
    Constantine is permanently dead?
[12:00] Frost
    He'll never be resurrected?
[12:05] Anjou
    The Dragon Emperor's
    resurrection is a secret,
[12:08] Anjou
    and unfortunately, I can't
    share it with everyone yet.
[12:10] Anjou
    But according to my research,
[12:12] Anjou
    only after a Dragon Emperor is truly dead
[12:14] Anjou
    can his bones be used as
    material for refinement.
[12:17] Anjou
    Otherwise, they're just specimens.
[12:19] Frost
    Your research?
[12:21] Frost
    Anjou, how do you prove your point?
[12:26] Anjou
    Yes, my words alone won't convince you.
[12:29] Anjou
    But Charlotte, you should
    be able to vouch for me.
[12:35] Charlotte
    Hm...
[12:39] Charlotte
    Anjou is right.
[12:41] Charlotte
    The Dragon Emperor Constantine...
[12:43] Charlotte
    is truly dead.
[13:00] Elizabeth
    So, Anjou, you've found a
    way to kill a Dragon Emperor.
[13:04] Elizabeth
    Can this method be used
    on other Dragon Emperors?
[13:06] Anjou
    Of course, but the process
    is still quite challenging.
[13:10] Charlotte
    The Emperor of Bronze and Flames
    has been proven to be a set of twins.
[13:13] Charlotte
    Does this mean all four emperors are twins?
[13:15] Anjou
    That should be the case.
[13:17] Frost
    The key point: where are Constantine's
    remains currently kept?
[13:22] Anjou
    In a secure location.
[13:23] Frost
    A location you deem secure,
[13:25] Frost
    or one we all deem secure?
[13:28] Anjou
    Let's put it this way: only two people in
    the entire world can access them.
[13:33] Frost
    And who are they?
[13:34] Anjou
    Me, and the person who built the vault.
[13:37] Frost
    So, among us, you're the only one who
    can access the Dragon Emperor's remains.
[13:42] Frost
    Is that right, Mr. Principal?
[13:45] Anjou
    That's right.
[13:46] Frost
    Cassel College doesn't belong to you.
[13:48] Frost
    You are merely the manager we put in place.
[13:50] Anjou
    I think I manage it quite well.
[13:51] Frost
    So?!
[13:51] Anjou
    So you should trust me.
[13:53] Elizabeth
    I agree with Anjou.
[13:54] Elizabeth
    He has demonstrated strong leadership
    on all previous missions.
[13:58] Frost
    An expert dragon slayer and an excellent
    manager are two different things.
[14:02] Elizabeth
    None of this matters.
[14:03] Elizabeth
    Our goal is the Dragon Emperors.
    Nothing else matters!
[14:06] Frost
    The dragon bones should be given to
    the school board for safekeeping!
[14:08] Anjou
    They are a treasure.
[14:10] Anjou
    If I hand them over to the school board,
    what will you, the Gattuso family, do with them?
[14:14] Frost
    Watch your tongue, Anjou!
[14:16] Frost
    I'm speaking for the school board,
[14:19] Frost
    not the Gattuso family!
[14:22] Anjou
    Yes, Mr. Frost, you can fire me
    on behalf of the school board.
[14:27] Anjou
    But until then, I won't turn
    the dragon bones over to you.
[14:30] Old man twirling Buddhist beads
    Anjou! You're overstepping your authority!
[14:33] Elizabeth
    Who should keep the dragon bones
    is not on today's agenda!
[14:35] Charlotte
    But it's true that only the school board
    has the authority to dispose of them!
[14:38] Frost
    Coup! Anjou, you're throwing a coup!
[14:40] Elizabeth
    Let's end this topic.
[14:41] Elizabeth
    Compared to the great cause of dragon slaying,
    these are trivial matters!
[14:43] Old man twirling Buddhist beads
    Calm down! This is school board meeting!
[14:45] Frost
    Regardless, the dragon bones
    belong to the school board!
[15:07] Anjou
    This issue won't reach a
    conclusion, so let's end it here.
[15:12] Anjou
    You can't fire me,
[15:14] Anjou
    because you can't find anyone to replace me.
[15:17] Charlotte
    Indeed, no one has been able
    to replace Anjou thus far.
[15:21] Charlotte
    Besides the students,
[15:22] Charlotte
    he also has the absolute support
    of the execution bureau's elite.
[15:25] Anjou
    Thank you.
[15:30] Frost
    Anjou, let's put aside the ownership
    of the dragon bones for now.
[15:34] Frost
    This is a letter from
    the Council of Elders to you,
[15:38] Frost
    expressing their ideas about the future.
[15:41] Anjou
    A love letter?
[15:44] Frost
    But since the future hasn't arrived yet,
     you can read it later.
[15:49] Anjou
    Since it's not a love letter,
    there's no rush to read it.
[15:53] Anjou
    All right, let's move on to the next topic:
[15:56] Anjou
    the selection of candidates
    for the Nibelungen Plan.
[16:24] Anjou
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso.
[16:31] Anjou
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso has just been unanimously
    re-elected as student council president.
[16:35] Anjou
    His GPA is 2.7, which is a bit low,
[16:38] Anjou
    similar to the former president's
    university grades.
[16:40] Anjou
    He once received a warning for
[16:42] Anjou
    organizing a beer swimming competition
    in the pool during winter,
[16:45] Anjou
    causing the pool to freeze and crack.
[16:47] Caesar
    I wanted to use champagne,
[16:49] Caesar
    but it was difficult to buy so many
    bottles of the same brand at once.
[16:52] Anjou
    There's only one reason he's sitting here:
[16:55] Anjou
    he killed Dragon Emperor Norton.
[17:05] Anjou
    Caesar, I'm sorry I can't reveal
    the names of all the board members.
[17:09] Anjou
    Except for your uncle.
[17:11] Anjou
    Oh, right. Aren't you going
    to say hello to your uncle?
[17:14] Caesar
    I wasn't summoned here because a
    Gattuso is on the board, was I?
[17:19] Frost
    You were summoned because
    of the Nibelungen Plan.
[17:23] Caesar
    Nibelungen?
[17:25] Caesar
    The "Land of the Dead" in Norse mythology?
[17:27] Caesar
    Why such a code name?
[17:29] Anjou
    The Bronze City is Nibelungen,
[17:31] Anjou
    and you, Caesar, faced Dragon
    Emperor Norton in that battle.
[17:35] Anjou
    What was it like?
[17:46] Caesar
    Fear!
[17:48] Caesar
    Fear that penetrated to the bone.
[17:51] Anjou
    You speak the truth.
[17:53] Anjou
    There is no better way
    to train a dragon slayer
[17:55] Anjou
    than have one experience
     fear on the battlefield.
[17:58] Anjou
    Only the strongest will
    and the finest bloodline
[18:02] Anjou
    can maintain dignity before the
    Dragon Emperor and ultimately slay him!
[18:05] Caesar
    So?
[18:06] Anjou
    So, Cassel College must immediately
    train the elite of the elite,
[18:09] Anjou
    the heroes of heroes.
[18:11] Anjou
    Because the most critical
    moment is approaching.
[18:13] Caesar
    The most critical moment?
[18:15] Anjou
    Mythology has foretold that the Dragon Emperors
    on the other three thrones will awaken.
[18:21] Anjou
    And finally, the great
    black dragon will awaken.
[18:28] Caesar
    A mass awakening?
[18:31] Caesar
    How exciting.
[18:33] Anjou
    We must prepare our army
    and generals before then.
[18:36] Anjou
    We must select the best candidates
    from those with superior bloodlines
[18:40] Anjou
    and devote all our efforts to their training.
[18:43] Caesar
    Are you talking about me?
[18:44] Elizabeth
    You're one of the candidates.
[18:46] Caesar
    If by "devoting all our efforts to training,"
    you mean giving me more classes and training,
[18:51] Caesar
    then forget it.
[18:53] Caesar
    My GPA is only 2.7.
[18:54] Frost
    No.
[18:56] Frost
    What we need to strengthen is your bloodline.
[18:59] Frost
    With a strengthened bloodline,
[19:01] Frost
    it's possible to possess two or more Yanlings,
[19:04] Frost
    and even hybrids can surpass Dragon Emperors.
[19:07] Caesar
    They can rival the Four Dragon Emperors?
[19:09] Anjou
    That's right! This is the Nibelungen Plan.
[19:13] Frost
    The Council of Elders have already found
    a way to strengthen the bloodline.
[19:18] Frost
    This is a tremendous gift.
[19:21] Frost
    Accepting it means gaining power,
[19:24] Frost
    but it also means a great sacrifice.
[19:27] Frost
    Caesar, are you willing?
[19:31] Caesar
    Why does this feel a bit like... wedding vows?
[19:34] Frost
    Caesar!
[19:35] Caesar
    Enduring hardships and
    dying is nothing special.
[19:37] Caesar
    If that's what it takes to
    reach the pinnacle of hybrids,
[19:40] Caesar
    there are lots of people at
    the College who'd be willing to accept.
[19:42] Caesar
    Why choose me?
[19:43] Anjou
    Because you're good enough.
[19:45] Caesar
    Why not Chu Zihang?
[19:46] Anjou
    He has no experience in
    slaying Dragon Emperors.
[19:48] Caesar
    Why not Lu Mingfei?
[19:49] Anjou
    Mingfei is still a newcomer,
[19:50] Anjou
    and many still think it was my
    mistake to give him an S-Rank.
[19:54] Caesar
    But he once severely wounded
     Dragon Emperor Constantine in front of you.
[19:57] Caesar
    Principal, you might randomly give S-Ranks,
[20:00] Caesar
    but in close combat with a Dragon Emperor,
[20:02] Caesar
    I don't believe you'd entrust
    your life to a worthless person.
[20:05] Caesar
    So, that reasoning doesn't hold up.
[20:08] Anjou
    Hm... You're right.
[20:10] Anjou
    For this candidate, your uncle insisted
    that ability isn't just about bloodline,
[20:14] Anjou
    but also about leadership.
[20:16] Anjou
    Among the new generation, Caesar,
    you're indeed a brilliant leader.
[20:20] Anjou
    Even Chu Zihang can't compare,
[20:22] Anjou
    so your uncle believes that
[20:23] Anjou
    only you deserve to be the top
    candidate for the Nibelungen Plan.
[20:31] Frost
    Caesar, do you understand now?
[20:34] Frost
    Your family has always had
    selfless love and hope for you!
[20:43] Caesar
    Uncle,
[20:45] Caesar
    have you ever lost the most
    important person in your life?
[20:48] Frost
    Huh?
[20:49] Caesar
    Oh, I forgot.
[20:51] Caesar
    People like you, Uncle, don't have
    anyone important in their lives.
[20:55] Caesar
    So, you wouldn't understand
[20:57] Caesar
    that people who have experienced such things
    often become particularly stubborn.
[21:02] Caesar
    Sorry, everyone.
[21:03] Caesar
    I refuse your offer.
[21:06] Frost
    Caesar! You...
[21:07] Caesar
    If there's nothing else,
    I will take my leave.
[21:25] Chu Zihang
    What's this?
[21:26] Lu Mingfei
    Ah, I figured since you'd been on a mission,
[21:29] Lu Mingfei
    you haven't had dinner.
[21:31] Lu Mingfei
    So I bought some food nearby,
[21:33] Lu Mingfei
    but at this hour,
    all I could get was hamburgers.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    You got these for me?
[21:38] Lu Mingfei
    Let's eat together on the way.
[21:42] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[22:01] Chu Zihang Mom
    Zihang...
[22:04] Chu Zihang Mom
    Have a safe trip.

    Episode 7
[01:51] Frost
    Is it fun to challenge the authority
    of the family and the school board?
[01:55] Caesar
    It's fun to make you big
    shots run around for nothing.
[01:59] Frost
    You...
[02:01] Frost
    Your childishness is truly terrible.
[02:04] Caesar
    No matter how you interpret my actions,
[02:06] Caesar
    I won't accept the gift offered
    by the Gattuso family.
[02:09] Frost
    You are rare. The first genius
     in our family for centuries.
[02:13] Frost
    The family is pushing the Nibelungen Plan
[02:16] Frost
    to guarantee your future status.
[02:20] Caesar
    I only inherited half of
    the Gattuso bloodline.
[02:23] Caesar
    The other half comes from
    the humble Gulweig.
[02:30] Frost
    Indeed, Gulweig's bloodline is
    not noble enough for the family.
[02:36] Frost
    The whole family recognizes you as the most
    outstanding descendant of the bloodline.
[02:44] Caesar
    A woman of humble origin
[02:46] Caesar
    married a man of noble blood,
    gave birth to a child,
[02:50] Caesar
    and then died.
[02:52] Caesar
    The husband's family looked
    down on her bloodline,
[02:55] Caesar
    but recognized the child
    who carried her blood.
[02:58] Frost
    Caesar, your mother's death had
    nothing to do with the family.
[03:02] Frost
    Her funeral was presided
    over by the Pope himself,
[03:06] Frost
    and the entire family attended.
[03:09] Caesar
    Don't be ridiculous.
[03:12] Caesar
    We are a family of dragon blood.
[03:14] Caesar
    A funeral presided over by the Pope
    can also count as compensation.
[03:16] Frost
    That was the honor the
    family bestowed upon her.
[03:19] Frost
    If she truly has a spirit,
[03:21] Frost
    wouldn't she want to see
    you achieve great things?
[03:24] Frost
    The Nibelungen Plan is the
    family's love for you.
[03:28] Frost
    If you reject it, you'll also
    break your mother's heart,
[03:32] Frost
    as she watches you from heaven.
[03:35] Caesar
    She paid a heavy price to give birth to me,
[03:40] Caesar
    but who cared for her then?
[03:44] Caesar
    By the time she died,
    she could no longer see nor hear.
[03:49] Caesar
    All I could do was hold her hand,
[03:54] Caesar
    and I dared not let go.
[03:59] Caesar
    The only connection between her and the world
[04:02] Caesar
    was the warmth passing through my palm.
[04:06] Caesar
    Uncle, I've told you before,
[04:09] Caesar
    I'm a descendant of Gulweig.
[04:11] Caesar
    I'm not that close to your Gattuso family.
[04:20] Frost
    Come wind or rain,
[04:26] Frost
    Caesar, a new era is approaching.
[04:32] Frost
    Hybrids will be able to slay Dragon Emperors.
[04:35] Frost
    After we put an end to the
    history of the Dragon Raja,
[04:37] Frost
    hybrids will be the most
    powerful race in the world.
[04:41] Frost
    Humans will be our servants,
[04:44] Frost
    and you will become the
    emperor of the new era.
[04:48] Frost
    Caesar, reconsider.
[04:52] Frost
    At the next board meeting, the family
    will revisit the Nibelungen Plan,
[04:57] Frost
    and you will be the only candidate.
[05:00] Frost
    Don't miss this golden opportunity.
[05:03] Caesar
    I will seize my future with my own hands,
[05:06] Caesar
    not as heir to the Gattuso family,
    but as Caesar.
[05:19] Frost
    This is a letter from your father.
[05:21] Frost
    The family knows that the person you
    love is not of a noble bloodline.
[05:26] Frost
    If you agree to support
     the Nibelungen Plan,
[05:30] Frost
    the family will make an exception and
    approve your engagement to Chen Motong.
[05:34] Caesar
    How generous!
[05:36] Frost
    Do you still have doubts?
[05:38] Frost
    The family loves you.
[05:40] Frost
    Because we love you, we're even
    willing to accept Chen Motong
[05:43] Frost
    and give her the position of
    matriarch of the Gattuso family.
[05:48] Caesar
    My engagement has nothing
    to do with the family.
[05:51] Caesar
    Now, take your generosity, and get out!
[06:06] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, do you really have to drive?
[06:09] Lu Mingfei
    I can switch with you.
[06:10] Chu Zihang
    No need.
[06:15] Lu Mingfei
    It's dirty. I'll throw it away.
[06:18] Chu Zihang
    Don't waste food.
[06:27] Chu Zihang
    Sorry, I can't wipe my hands. Here.
[06:32] Chu Zihang
    There's a mission report on my phone.
[06:33] Chu Zihang
    I've already written it.
[06:34] Chu Zihang
    The mission report?
[06:36] Chu Zihang
    Just sign it.
[06:37] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, right. I'm the mission leader.
[06:40] Chu Zihang
    Aren't you going to read it?
[06:41] Lu Mingfei
    You wrote it, Brother. It'll be fine.
[06:43] Lu Mingfei
    Here.
[06:46] Lu Mingfei
    By the way, Brother,
    may I ask you a question?
[06:49] Chu Zihang
    Sure.
[06:49] Lu Mingfei
    You... never intended to bring me along
    on the mission from the start, right?
[06:54] Chu Zihang
    Right. I don't understand why you were
    assigned as the specialist.
[06:57] Chu Zihang
    You haven't received
    the necessary training.
[06:59] Chu Zihang
    You couldn't have done it.
[07:01] Lu Mingfei
    I knew it. Even though I know I'm useless,
    you could at least let me save face.
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    Just saying I couldn't have
     done it... That's so hurtful.
[07:10] Chu Zihang
    Sorry, I'm not good with words.
[07:17] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, why did you suddenly stop the car?
[07:20] Lu Mingfei
    Y-Your wound... is bleeding profusely!
[07:24] Chu Zihang
    Wait for me in the car.
[07:25] Chu Zihang
    It would be a problem
    if my blood splashed on you.
[07:29] Chu Zihang
    Don't worry. I'm fine.
[07:41] Lu Mingfei
    This blood... Why is it like sulfuric acid?
[07:46] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, what's wrong with your body?
[08:12] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, are you sure you're okay?
[08:16] Lu Mingfei
    Shouldn't you go to the hospital?
[08:17] Chu Zihang
    It's a minor injury. I'll be fine.
[08:26] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei.
[08:28] Chu Zihang
    What you just saw...
[08:31] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, don't worry.
    I-I'll keep it a secret.
[08:34] Lu Mingfei
    Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
[08:35] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[08:38] Chu Zihang
    Did you... not go to the restaurant tonight?
[08:42] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... I went, but then I left.
[08:45] Lu Mingfei
    Man, Brother, you're so popular.
[08:48] Lu Mingfei
    Chen Wenwen actually agreed to dinner.
[08:50] Chu Zihang
    I'm not good at invitations.
[08:51] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[08:51] Chu Zihang
    I just used your name and gave
    her the restaurant's card.
[08:54] Chu Zihang
    I asked whether she'd come, and she said yes.
[08:57] Chu Zihang
    That was it.
[08:58] Lu Mingfei
    Is that how you usually
    invite girls to dinner?
[09:01] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[09:02] Lu Mingfei
    And it works?!
[09:04] Chu Zihang
    I don't recall ever being rejected.
[09:06] Lu Mingfei
    All right, you win.
[09:13] Lu Mingfei
    Chen Wenwen?
[09:19] Lu Mingfei
    H-Hello, Chen Wenwen?
[09:21] Lu Mingfei
    Did you get home yet?
[09:22] Chen Wenwen
    I just got in the car.
[09:24] Chen Wenwen
    Why... did you leave so quickly today?
[09:28] Lu Mingfei
    I... Something urgent came up. Sorry.
[09:33] Chen Wenwen
    No, I just wanted to thank you for dinner.
[09:37] Lu Mingfei
    It's nothing. I was just...
    treating an old classmate to dinner.
[09:45] Chen Wenwen
    Are you still getting used
    to university life abroad?
[09:48] Lu Mingfei
    Life... is fine.
[09:54] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei...
[09:57] Lu Mingfei
    Yes?
[09:58] Chen Wenwen
    You... have changed.
[10:03] Chen Wenwen
    You're not the same as before.
[10:09] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[10:11] Lu Mingfei
    Ch-Ch-Chen Wenwen...
[10:14] Lu Mingfei
    Chen Wenwen, I actually liked—
[10:23] Lu Mingfei
    Isn't this... Lake Garden One,
    where I just had dinner with Chen Wenwen?
[10:28] Lu Mingfei
    How did I end up here?
[10:34] Lu Mingze
    Of course, I arranged for
    you to come here, Brother.
[10:38] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingze!
[10:41] Lu Mingfei
    I didn't call you out.
[10:43] Lu Mingze
    Don't worry. This time I'm here
    for a proactive follow-up visit.
[10:48] Lu Mingfei
    What are you up to?
[10:49] Lu Mingze
    Music!
[10:52] Lu Mingze
    Happy birthday, Brother!
[10:55] Lu Mingfei
    How did you know that today's my birthday?
[10:58] Lu Mingze
    You're my most important client.
[11:00] Lu Mingze
    I'll serve you faithfully until you
    use up your three remaining summons.
[11:06] Lu Mingfei
    I'm so touched.
[11:10] Lu Mingfei
    Okay, you've said your blessings.
[11:12] Lu Mingfei
    Let me go back to the real world.
[11:14] Lu Mingfei
    I have a flight to catch.
[11:15] Lu Mingze
    Don't worry. I won't delay your trip.
[11:18] Lu Mingfei
    What on earth are you up to?
[11:20] Lu Mingze
    I really like this restaurant,
[11:22] Lu Mingze
    especially this table,
    so I wanted to invite you here.
[11:26] Lu Mingfei
    Isn't this... just a normal table?
[11:29] Lu Mingze
    Indeed, this is a normal seat,
[11:32] Lu Mingze
    but the person sitting here
    has a commanding view,
[11:36] Lu Mingze
    as if they can control the entire space.
[11:39] Lu Mingze
    This position is one of power.
[11:45] Lu Mingfei
    Here we go again.
[11:46] Lu Mingze
    Do you not like it?
[11:47] Lu Mingfei
    How can I possibly like power that
    comes at the cost of my life?
[11:51] Lu Mingze
    But you've already felt the joy of power,
[11:55] Lu Mingze
    haven't you?
[11:56] Lu Mingfei
    What joy of power? Have you lost your mind?
[11:59] Lu Mingze
    I can feel that you were happy to
    have dinner with Chen Wenwen.
[12:05] Lu Mingfei
    Who wouldn't be happy to have
    dinner with a beautiful girl?
[12:07] Lu Mingze
    No!
[12:09] Lu Mingze
    You're sitting at the best table at Aspasia,
[12:12] Lu Mingfei
    drinking champagne that
    costs 8,000 yuan a bottle,
[12:14] Lu Mingfei
    eating food that the executive chef
    spent all afternoon preparing.
[12:17] Lu Mingze
    And if you desire it...
[12:20] Lu Mingze
    Hot Earl Grey tea, please!
[12:22] Lu Mingfei
    ...you can have anything.
[12:25] Lu Mingze
    That's power.
[12:27] Lu Mingfei
    Even if it's a very small kind of power,
[12:30] Lu Mingfei
    it still exudes that intoxicating aroma.
[12:34] Lu Mingze
    You've already sensed it, haven't you?
[12:39] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, you're the worm in my belly.
    I have no objections.
[12:42] Lu Mingze
    Brother, admit it.
[12:45] Lu Mingze
    Chen Wenwen is already easy
    prey within your grasp.
[12:49] Lu Mingze
    Now that you have power,
    you no longer have to look up to her.
[12:52] Lu Mingze
    You can even bend down, pick her up,
[12:56] Lu Mingze
    and forgive everything she's done to you.
[12:59] Lu Mingfei
    Wipe that damn thing off!
[13:01] Lu Mingfei
    No matter how I change, I won't bend down
    to pick up Chen Wenwen like a piece of tissue.
[13:05] Lu Mingze
    No need to get agitated. It was just a joke.
[13:08] Lu Mingze
    But Brother, without power,
[13:11] Lu Mingfei
    anyone would feel inferior,
[13:14] Lu Mingfei
    just like a stag without antlers
    has no place in the herd.
[13:19] Lu Mingfei
    On the contrary,
[13:20] Lu Mingfei
    those who have power can
    turn seemingly unattainable girls
[13:24] Lu Mingfei
    into clay figures in the dust.
[13:26] Lu Mingfei
    Even your most powerful enemies will
    kneel before you, begging for mercy.
[13:30] Lu Mingfei
    That... is power.
[13:37] Lu Mingfei
    You can call it evil.
[13:39] Lu Mingfei
    But have you ever considered that one day,
[13:41] Lu Mingfei
    when you wield more and more power,
[13:45] Lu Mingfei
    even the most unattainable girls will be
    nothing more than clay figures in the dust?
[13:50] Lu Mingfei
    That kind of power is within your grasp,
[13:54] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, if you're willing to take it.
[13:57] Lu Mingfei
    Within my grasp?
[13:59] Lu Mingfei
    Okay! It's within my grasp.
    Give me the power.
[14:04] Lu Mingze
    There will come a day when
    you'll sincerely beg me.
[14:08] Lu Mingze
    At that time, I'll give
    you everything I've promised.
[14:11] Lu Mingze
    I'll leave now.
[14:13] Lu Mingze
    Brother, you're nineteen now,
[14:15] Lu Mingze
    so please patronize my
    business as much as possible.
[14:17] Lu Mingze
    I look forward to it.
[14:17] Lu Mingfei
    Hey... Wait!
[14:20] Lu Mingfei
    I have a question for you.
[14:21] Lu Mingfei
    What do you think of girls like Chen Wenwen?
[14:24] Lu Mingze
    Bookworms are nothing.
[14:26] Lu Mingze
    I like girls with good figures!
[14:30] Lu Mingfei
    You kicked me again!
[14:37] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei?
[14:38] Lu Mingfei
    I'm back.
[14:39] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei?
[14:41] Lu Mingfei
    I-I'm here.
[14:44] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[14:46] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[14:47] Lu Mingfei
    I actually...
[14:51] Lu Mingfei
    I actually used to like you!
[14:56] Chen Wenwen
    I...
[14:58] Chen Wenwen
    I know, but...
[15:01] Lu Mingfei
    It's in the past now.
[15:01] Chen Wenwen
    Huh?
[15:02] Lu Mingfei
    I'm grateful for that time.
[15:05] Lu Mingfei
    Even though we're not together,
[15:07] Lu Mingfei
    it brought me so many unforgettable memories.
[15:19] Chen Wenwen
    Lu Mingfei, you've changed.
[15:22] Chen Wenwen
    You've grown up.
[15:24] Lu Mingfei
    You sound like my older sister.
[15:30] Chen Wenwen
    Well, I hope you find someone you like.
[15:34] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah.
[15:35] Lu Mingfei
    You, too.
[15:37] Chen Wenwen
    Yeah.
[15:39] Chen Wenwen
    Goodbye.
[16:14] Chu Zihang
    Can I ask you a question?
[16:16] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... Sure.
[16:19] Chu Zihang
    Do you like Chen Wenwen or Nono?
[16:22] Lu Mingfei
    I don't actually like either of them,
[16:24] Lu Mingfei
    or maybe I like people who like me.
[16:27] Chu Zihang
    Seriously, tell me which one you like,
[16:29] Chu Zihang
    and I can help you out.
[16:31] Lu Mingfei
    What are you talking about? Shut up.
[16:34] Chu Zihang
    Really?
[16:36] Lu Mingfei
    I told you, I only like people who like me.
[16:39] Chu Zihang
    Then, what kind of person
    do you think you are?
[16:42] Lu Mingfei
    Me?
[16:45] Lu Mingfei
    Probably the kind who likes
    to sleep in, play video games,
[16:48] Lu Mingfei
    daydream, think about stuff,
[16:51] Lu Mingfei
    and then liking someone for three
    years without daring to confess.
[16:54] Lu Mingfei
    I know that kind of person is boring.
[16:56] Lu Mingfei
    But that's the kind of person I am.
[16:58] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, did you know?
[17:00] Lu Mingfei
    When I first arrived at
    Aspasia, I was so excited.
[17:03] Chu Zihang
    But you left.
[17:04] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah, because she doesn't like me.
[17:08] Lu Mingfei
    Actually, I didn't even
    know what Aspasia was,
[17:10] Lu Mingfei
    and I couldn't afford to treat
    her to such an expensive meal.
[17:13] Lu Mingfei
    My credit card is already maxed out.
[17:15] Lu Mingfei
    It was actually the boss, Caesar,
    who treated her to Italian food.
[17:19] Lu Mingfei
    Of course, the boss is great.
[17:21] Lu Mingfei
    Any girl would like the boss, right?
[17:23] Lu Mingfei
    If it were me, I could only afford
    to treat someone to ramen at a stall.
[17:28] Lu Mingfei
    But even if I could only afford ramen,
[17:31] Lu Mingfei
    I hope someone would still like me.
[17:34] Lu Mingfei
    I'm rambling. Do you understand
    what I mean, Brother?
[17:37] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[17:38] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Really?
[17:40] Chu Zihang
    Yeah.
[17:41] Chu Zihang
    There was a guy who could only drive,
[17:43] Chu Zihang
    and he hoped others would
    like him despite that.
[17:48] Chu Zihang
    What a person can do isn't entirely
    dependent on their bloodline,
[17:51] Chu Zihang
    but on what they want to achieve.
[17:53] Chu Zihang
    I think your inability
    to complete the mission
[17:54] Chu Zihang
    isn't because of your bloodline or abilities.
[17:57] Chu Zihang
    It's because you don't have a goal.
[17:59] Chu Zihang
    Without a goal that you'd risk
    everything for and give your all,
[18:02] Chu Zihang
    you're not going to make it.
[18:05] Chu Zihang
    Even if your bloodline is stronger than ours.
[18:10] Lu Mingfei
    But who... am I risking my life for?
[18:13] Chu Zihang
    Everyone has a reason to risk their life.
[18:17] Chu Zihang
    You're keeping your life...
[18:18] Chu Zihang
    just waiting for the day
    when you can risk it.
[18:29] Chu Zihang
    Sorry, I seem to have said something wrong.
[18:30] Lu Mingfei
    No, you haven't.
[18:34] Chu Zihang
    We're almost at the airport.
[18:36] Chu Zihang
    Let's go.
[18:43] Chu Zihang
    Have you got everything?
[18:44] Lu Mingfei
    Yes, the special forces
    gave me my ID and jacket.
[18:48] Chu Zihang
    This flight path goes over the Arctic Circle.
[18:50] Chu Zihang
    It'll take 10 hours, so we'll
    be at Anguo after we sleep.
[18:54] Chu Zihang
    Well, happy birthday again.
[19:00] Lu Mingfei
    Thank... Thank you, Brother.
[19:03] Chu Zihang
    I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.
[19:06] Lu Mingfei
    Goodnight.
[19:10] Lu Mingfei
    Birthday...
[19:12] Lu Mingfei
    The people who remembered my
    birthday today included...
[19:16] Lu Mingfei
    Boss Caesar, Finger...
[19:20] Lu Mingfei
    If that guy's message
    counts as a blessing.
[19:23] Lu Mingfei
    Also Brother, Norma...
[19:31] Lu Mingfei
    As the elder sister, you didn't even wish
    your younger brother a happy birthday.
[19:34] Lu Mingfei
    My birthday will be over in five seconds.
[19:37] Nono
    Happy birthday to you,
[19:40] Nono
    happy birthday to you.
[19:42] Broadcast
    Please sit back, fasten your seat belt,
[19:45] Broadcast
    and turn off your phone.
[19:45] Lu Mingfei
    All right.
[19:47] Nono
    Happy birthday to you.
[19:51] Broadcast
    Return your seat to the upright
    position and stow your tray table.
[20:26] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingfei,
[20:28] Lu Mingfei
    happy birthday.
[20:31] Lu Mingfei
    Goodnight.
[21:18] Lu Mingfei
    This... This is...
[21:19] Chu Zihang
    It's probably the Chicago
    subway union strike.
[21:21] Chu Zihang
    Looks like it'll last a week.
[21:22] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[21:23] Lu Mingfei
    Well, let's take the CC
    line to Cassel College.
[21:26] Chu Zihang
    Although the CC line is maintained
    by Cassel College itself,
[21:29] Chu Zihang
    it's unfortunately connected
    to the Chicago subway,
[21:31] Chu Zihang
    so it'll probably be suspended.
[21:33] Lu Mingfei
    Ah... I'm going to have
    no luck with the CC line.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    Let's just stay in Chicago for a week.
[21:38] Chu Zihang
    If it's inconvenient for you,
    you can stay with me.
[21:41] Chu Zihang
    I'll pay for the room.
[21:42] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, I've been waiting for you
    to say that. Let's get a room!
[21:51] Lu Mingfei
    Climbing so high...
    Are you trying to kill yourself?
[22:03] Lu Mingfei
    Wow...
[22:05] Chu Zihang
    Are you okay?
[22:06] Xia Mi
    Yeah.

[01:41] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, miss, climbing up so high is dangerous.
[01:45] Xia Mi
    Actually...
[01:48] Xia Mi
    I can't get out! I can't get out!
[01:50] Lu Mingfei
    Are you trying to be cute
    or are you just dumb?
[01:52] Chu Zihang
    I'll help you.
[02:01] Xia Mi
    Thank you.
[02:01] Lu Mingfei
    Wow. Only demons can be this beautiful!
[02:05] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, demon!
[02:06] Xia Mi
    I'm not a demon, just a cute girl.
[02:10] Lu Mingfei
    A Cassel College subway card?
[02:13] Lu Mingfei
    And... you understand my sarcasm!
[02:16] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, I'm Lu Mingfei,
    from the history department.
[02:18] Xia Mi
    I'm Xia Mi, a new student this year.
[02:20] Chu Zihang
    Chu Zihang, mechanical engineering.
[02:23] Chu Zihang
    What were you doing up there?
[02:26] Xia Mi
    Because of the week-long strike,
[02:28] Xia Mi
    I can't go to college,
    and I can't afford a hotel.
[02:30] Xia Mi
    So I had to make do with what I could find.
[02:32] Xia Mi
    With this, I can pitch a tent in the park.
[02:35] Chu Zihang
    Are you allowed to pitch a tent in the park?
[02:36] Xia Mi
    I'll tell them I'm a Chicago subway worker!
[02:41] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi, you don't have a
    social security card yet.
[02:44] Chu Zihang
    If the police question you,
    it might be a problem.
[02:45] Chu Zihang
    If you don't mind,
    would you like to stay with us?
[02:49] Xia Mi
    Are... you serious?
[02:53] Chu Zihang
    Did I say something wrong?
[02:54] Chu Zihang
    Two boys inviting a girl to stay with them,
[02:56] Chu Zihang
    even if they're classmates,
[02:58] Chu Zihang
    could be seen as having ulterior motives.
[03:00] Chu Zihang
    Sorry, I...
[03:01] Xia Mi
    I'm so happy! Yes. please!
[03:05] Lu Mingfei
    We'd be happy to help you out.
[03:07] Lu Mingfei
    Come on, let's go eat first. I'm starving.
[03:11] Xia Mi
    Wait, I'll get you a Coke as a thank you.
[03:14] Chu Zihang
    Buy it after we check into the hotel.
[03:15] Xia Mi
    Buy? I didn't say I was going to pay.
[03:19] Xia Mi
    I just noticed that the staff forgot to
    unplug the Coke machine when they closed up.
[03:24] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! That means we can drink
    as much free Coke as we want.
[03:28] Xia Mi
    If you drink my Coke, you owe me a favor.
[03:31] Xia Mi
    Please help me out in future.
[03:32] Lu Mingfei
    Of course!
[03:34] Lu Mingfei
    I've got your back!
[03:36] Lu Mingfei
    What's up?
[03:40] Xia Mi
    No, Xia Mi, be careful not
    to get taken advantage of!
[03:42] Xia Mi
    Be alert, beware of fire,
    theft, and your brothers!
[03:53] Chu Zihang
    "It ascends from the earth to the heaven"
[03:55] Chu Zihang
    "and again it descends to the earth."
[03:58] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Brother, can you stop
    reading those strange texts?
[04:02] Lu Mingfei
    Come watch some TV instead.
[04:04] Chu Zihang
    These aren't strange texts.
[04:05] Chu Zihang
    This is the Emerald Tablet,
    an ancient alchemical text.
[04:09] Lu Mingfei
    What's the difference?
[04:11] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Brother, two boys and
    a girl are sharing a room.
[04:15] Lu Mingfei
    Won't the College disciplinary
    committee punish us?
[04:19] Chu Zihang
    The disciplinary committee
    won't care about this.
[04:21] Chu Zihang
    But she said if I paid for
    a separate room for her,
[04:24] Chu Zihang
    she'd owe me a huge favor,
[04:26] Chu Zihang
    and she'd rather pitch a tent in the park.
[04:28] Chu Zihang
    "By this means, you shall have
    ye glory of ye whole world"
[04:31] Chu Zihang
    "& thereby all obscurity shall fly from you."
[04:33] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Brother, you can read
    as much as you want,
[04:36] Lu Mingfei
    but why don't you find a place to sit?
[04:37] Chu Zihang
    I'm just practicing my standing posture.
[04:39] Chu Zihang
    I stand for half an hour every night.
[04:41] Chu Zihang
    It's really good for my spine.
[04:42] Chu Zihang
    Do you want to try it?
[04:43] Xia Mi
    Brother, Newton's original text is:
[04:46] Xia Mi
    "It ascends from ye earth
    to ye heaven & again."
[04:50] Xia Mi
    It can also be translated as:
[04:51] Xia Mi
    "The One ascends from the earth to the sky,"
[04:53] Xia Mi
    "then descends back to the ground,"
[04:55] Xia Mi
    "absorbing the power of both
    the upper and lower realms."
[04:58] Xia Mi
    "Thus, you will possess the
    glory of the entire world,"
[05:00] Xia Mi
    "and be free from ignorance."
[05:02] Chu Zihang
    You know the Emerald Tablet?
[05:03] Xia Mi
    The word "it" is the key to
    understanding this sentence.
[05:06] Xia Mi
    What exactly does "it" refer to?
[05:08] Chu Zihang
    "It" can be interpreted as the
    metal burned by fire in alchemy.
[05:11] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, wait. Why are you standing
    against the wall too, Sister?
[05:15] Xia Mi
    I'm waiting for my hair to dry, and practicing
    my standing posture at the same time.
[05:18] Xia Mi
    By the way, Brother,
[05:19] Xia Mi
    the Emerald Tablet is a fragment
    of the Dragon Raja's scriptures,
[05:22] Xia Mi
    all reinterpreted by later generations, so...
[05:23] Lu Mingfei
    Wait.
[05:26] Lu Mingfei
    Sister, you know about dragons?
[05:28] Lu Mingfei
    Aren't you a new student?
[05:29] Xia Mi
    I'm a prep student.
[05:31] Xia Mi
    The 3E exam is early for prep students,
[05:33] Xia Mi
    so the existence of the
    Dragon Raja isn't a secret to me.
[05:37] Lu Mingfei
    Prep? What's that?
[05:39] Chu Zihang
    The College's branch in Xinguo
[05:41] Chu Zihang
    recruits high schoolers with dragon
    bloodlines to join the prep class.
[05:44] Chu Zihang
    If their bloodline is strong enough, they can
    go directly to the main campus after graduation.
[05:48] Xia Mi
    Yep! I aced the 3E exam.
[05:51] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi, born in the capital of Xinguo.
[05:53] Chu Zihang
    Female. Born January 22. Attended Capital
    Affiliated High School and then the prep class,
[05:57] Chu Zihang
    Household registered in the capital.
[05:59] Chu Zihang
    Has a mother, father, and an older brother.
[06:02] Xia Mi
    You...
[06:03] Xia Mi
    Hey! Are you checking my records?
[06:05] Chu Zihang
    This is the information Norma sent from HQ.
[06:07] Chu Zihang
    We need to know who you are.
[06:10] Chu Zihang
    It's on that iPad.
[06:12] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei, please give it to Xia Mi.
[06:15] Lu Mingfei
    Can't you do it yourself?
[06:16] Chu Zihang
    I haven't finished my homework yet.
[06:18] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, your personality is starting
    to go out of character.
[06:21] Xia Mi
    Homework?
[06:22] Xia Mi
    Oh, yeah. I have to do some, too.
[06:24] Xia Mi
    I nearly forgot.
[06:28] Xia Mi
    All right! Brother, please help me get it.
[06:28] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei, please help me get it.
[06:31] Lu Mingfei
    You're messing with me.
[06:32] Xia Mi
    Brother, please!
[06:33] Lu Mingfei
    I'm not falling for that!
[06:35] Xia Mi
    Pretty please~
[06:38] Lu Mingfei
    Fine... your cute attack worked.
[06:43] Xia Mi
    Brother, you're the best!
[06:44] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah, sure.
[06:45] Lu Mingfei
    Of course I am.
[06:48] Lu Mingfei
    Here.
[06:50] Xia Mi
    This is the first time I've seen my own file.
[06:56] Lu Mingfei
    This is... you?
[07:00] Lu Mingfei
    You're really unconventional.
[07:04] Xia Mi
    Stop laughing at me!
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, I won't laugh at you.
[07:07] Lu Mingfei
    Anyway, the Emerald Tablet sounds
    like some kind of novel from Xinguo.
[07:13] Xia Mi
    The Emerald Tablet is an
    ancient book from 100 BC,
[07:16] Xia Mi
    engraved on a green jade
    tablet, hence the name.
[07:21] Chu Zihang
    It was discovered in a secret
    chamber beneath a pyramid,
[07:24] Chu Zihang
    and is considered the origin of alchemy.
[07:26] Lu Mingfei
    Who's the author?
[07:27] Chu Zihang
    The author claims to be Hermes,
    the trinity god of Egyptian mythology.
[07:31] Lu Mingfei
    A god?
[07:35] Lu Mingfei
    Well, if dragons exist in this world,
    it's no surprise that gods exist, right?
[07:39] Chu Zihang
    By the way, based on what you just said,
[07:41] Chu Zihang
    if the "One" refers to the spirit,
[07:43] Chu Zihang
    then do the upper and lower realms
[07:45] Chu Zihang
    refer to the different spiritual
    worlds of dragons and humans?
[07:48] Xia Mi
    Yes, you can interpret it like that.
[07:50] Xia Mi
    It describes a process of evolution from
    humans to dragons, leading to enlightenment.
[07:54] Chu Zihang
    The book does say that humans
    can evolve into dragons.
[07:59] Xia Mi
    It's not certain.
[08:01] Xia Mi
    Some medieval scholars of the
    Emerald Tablet believed that
[08:04] Xia Mi
    the author "approached the gods infinitely,"
    and "stole the laws of the gods."
[08:08] Xia Mi
    Fearing that these laws would be understood
    by normal people, they used cryptic language.
[08:13] Xia Mi
    This has also led to uncertainty
    in the current translation.
[08:17] Chu Zihang
    The cryptic language you mentioned...
[08:18] Chu Zihang
    Are you referring to the ritual
    text in ancient Egyptian?
[08:21] Xia Mi
    In the 7th century AD, Arabic replaced
    Egyptian as the common language of Egypt,
[08:26] Xia Mi
    so the ritual text is difficult to decipher.
[08:28] Xia Mi
    Therefore, the Newton-derived translation
    you used probably has lots of errors.
[08:33] Chu Zihang
    Errors?
[08:34] Xia Mi
    For example, the translation
    you just used said:
[08:36] Xia Mi
    "The One ascends from the earth to the sky,"
[08:38] Xia Mi
    "then descends back to the ground,"
[08:40] Xia Mi
    "absorbing the power of both
    the upper and lower realms."
[08:43] Xia Mi
    According to your interpretation,
[08:45] Xia Mi
    if humans can evolve into dragons,
[08:47] Xia Mi
    they don't need to return to the human world.
[08:49] Xia Mi
    The author wants to distance
    himself from ignorance.
[08:51] Lu Mingfei
    Why distance himself from cute girls?
    What did they do wrong?
[08:53] Chu Zihang
    Then why did he "descend back to the ground"?
[08:56] Chu Zihang
    Isn't "from earth to sky" the
    ultimate goal of all alchemy?
[08:58] Lu Mingfei
    From earth to sky, from sky to earth,
[09:01] Lu Mingfei
    how wonderful all things
    are, how wonderful...
[09:06] Chu Zihang
    What are you...
[09:07] Xia Mi
    Between heaven and earth,
    there's another layer.
[09:11] Xia Mi
    That layer is filled with people.
[09:14] Lu Mingfei
    ...filled with people.
[09:16] Lu Mingfei
    Nice follow-up.
[09:18] Xia Mi
    Just going along with you.
[09:19] Chu Zihang
    Weren't we... having an academic discussion?
[09:23] Chu Zihang
    Why did we switch to singing old songs?
[09:25] Lu Mingfei
    Because of youth. Youth is about having
    academic discussions through song.
[09:29] Xia Mi
    Brother, you should join in.
[09:30] Chu Zihang
    I... don't really listen to songs.
[09:33] Xia Mi
    There's an old song you must know.
[09:35] Xia Mi
    I'll start, and you join in.
[09:36] Xia Mi
    Over the mountain and beyond the sea,
    there was a group of Smurfs.
[09:38] Chu Zihang
    I know that one.
[09:40] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    They were lively and clever.
[09:42] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    They were mischievous and agile.
[09:43] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    They lived freely and happily
    in the green forest.
[09:47] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    They were kind and brave,
    and they loved each other.
[09:50] Lu Mingfei OS
    I never thought...
[09:50] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    Oh... The adorable Smurfs!
[09:52] Lu Mingfei OS
    Chu Zihang would be willing to
    play this weird game with us.
[09:54] Xia Mi/Chu Zihang
    Oh... The adorable Smurfs!
[09:57] Lu Mingfei OS
    In the past...
[09:59] Lu Mingfei OS
    Only Lao Tang...
[10:03] Lu Mingfei OS
    Lao Tang...
[10:07] Lu Mingfei OS
    If Lao Tang were here...
[10:10] Lu Mingfei OS
    If...
[10:15] Lu Mingfei OS
    he were still here...
[10:28] Lu Mingfei
    Are you asleep?
[10:30] Chu Zihang
    Not yet.
[10:32] Lu Mingfei
    Did I wake you?
[10:34] Chu Zihang
    I'm just not used to
    sleeping with other people.
[10:39] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, since you can't sleep,
    why don't we play StarCraft?
[10:43] Chu Zihang
    I don't know how to play StarCraft,
    but we can play chess.
[10:47] Lu Mingfei OS
    One, two, three, four...
[10:50] Lu Mingfei OS
    Brother's eyelashes are so long...
[10:54] Lu Mingfei
    Never mind, you've never
    even played StarCraft.
[10:57] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, your life is such a tragedy.
[10:59] Chu Zihang
    Sorry.
[11:01] Lu Mingfei
    By the way, if those girls
    who admire you knew that
[11:05] Lu Mingfei
    I've been sharing a bed with you for a week,
[11:07] Lu Mingfei
    they'd be so jealous of me.
[11:34] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[11:38] Lu Mingfei
    Brother?
[11:44] Lu Mingfei
    Where is he?
[11:49] Lu Mingfei
    So disloyal! Did those two leave me behind
    to hang out so early in the morning?
[11:57] Lu Mingfei
    On that note, is Xia Mi
    interested in Chu Zihang?
[12:02] Lu Mingfei
    This new beauty and the expressionless
    Brother are a perfect match.
[12:11] Lu Mingfei
    Such a quiet morning...
[12:15] Lu Mingfei
    Quiet...
[12:18] Lu Mingfei
    Could it be...
[12:21] Lu Mingfei
    Breakfast!
[12:35] Lu Mingfei
    Just woke up, and feeling a bit tired.
[12:37] Lu Mingfei
    I'll have breakfast in bed.
[12:40] Lu Mingze
    Caviar on freshly baked whole wheat bread,
[12:42] Lu Mingze
    Danish pastry with raisins,
[12:44] Lu Mingze
    or fried chicken breast with lemon juice.
[12:46] Lu Mingze
    Which one do you want, Brother?
[12:48] Lu Mingfei
    I want fried dough sticks and tofu pudding!
[12:51] Lu Mingze
    No problem.
[12:55] Lu Mingfei
    Are you messing with me?
[12:56] Lu Mingfei
    You're acting like a French chef
    with four fried dough sticks
[12:58] Lu Mingfei
    and two bowls of tofu pudding?
[13:00] Lu Mingze
    You only get two fried dough sticks
    and one bowl of tofu pudding.
[13:02] Lu Mingze
    The other half is mine.
[13:04] Lu Mingze
    But you can eat first.
[13:06] Lu Mingfei
    No, you're not that kind. Maybe I'm
    eating fried dough sticks in my dream?
[13:10] Lu Mingfei
    In reality, I'm eating a
    3090 graphics card, right?
[13:13] Lu Mingze
    How could that be?
[13:16] Lu Mingze
    You're the customer,
    and the customer is king.
[13:19] Lu Mingze
    We demons always treat our customers well!
[13:22] Lu Mingfei
    How can I not worry?
[13:24] Lu Mingfei
    You're too cunning. I can't beat you!
[13:27] Lu Mingfei
    I didn't summon you this time,
    so this doesn't count.
[13:29] Lu Mingze
    Of course.
[13:31] Lu Mingze
    Something's going to happen today.
[13:33] Lu Mingze
    You will have an important
    event that requires money.
[13:36] Lu Mingze
    I know you're broke, so I came
    here to lend you some money.
[13:39] Lu Mingfei
    No need!
[13:41] Lu Mingze
    No need?
[13:42] Lu Mingfei
    Asking you for a favor will
    cost a quarter of my life!
[13:45] Lu Mingfei
    I don't have any use for the money!
[13:47] Lu Mingze
    It's a free gift for customers.
[13:50] Lu Mingze
    If money can solve it, it's not a problem.
[13:53] Lu Mingfei
    You? Being kind?
[13:55] Lu Mingze
    Yes.
[13:56] Lu Mingze
    In this world, I am the only one
    who has always been on your side,
[14:03] Lu Mingze
    because...
[14:05] Lu Mingze
    you are my brother.
[14:08] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, why are you patting...
[14:09] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[14:10] Lu Mingze
    Brother... Brother... Brother... Brother...
[14:18] Lu Mingfei
    What...
[14:20] Lu Mingfei
    What is this?
[14:24] Lu Mingze
    Brother, what's wrong?
[14:27] Lu Mingfei OS
    Actually, looking back,
[14:30] Lu Mingfei OS
    every time I was desperate,
[14:32] Lu Mingfei OS
    only he stayed by my side.
[14:36] Lu Mingfei OS
    As long as I was willing to make a deal
    with him, he would definitely help me.
[14:41] Lu Mingfei OS
    Just like the closest person...
[14:44] Lu Mingfei OS
    in the entire world.
[14:45] Lu Mingze
    Brother, you...
[14:47] Lu Mingfei
    I'm fine.
[14:49] Lu Mingfei
    So... let's talk more about the money.
[14:53] Lu Mingze
    The way to obtain money is,
    of course, still through Yanling.
[14:56] Lu Mingze
    "Show Me The Money" is the temporary
    Yanling for this occasion.
[15:00] Lu Mingze
    You can think of it as an upgraded
    version of "Show Me The Flower."
[15:03] Lu Mingfei
    What effect does it have?
[15:05] Lu Mingze
    It increases your assets by $10,000,
[15:07] Lu Mingze
    and it's reusable.
[15:10] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! So generous!
    You're really making an effort this time!
[15:13] Lu Mingze
    I'm constantly rewarding clients.
[15:15] Lu Mingze
    Can you please summon me
    for something important?
[15:18] Lu Mingfei
    No, I still want to live.
[15:21] Lu Mingze
    All right, I should go now.
[15:24] Lu Mingze
    Remember, danger is never far away.
[15:27] Lu Mingze
    Remain vigilant,
[15:28] Lu Mingze
    and always keep that phone with you.
[15:31] Lu Mingze
    By the way, someone left a note
    for you at the front desk.
[15:34] Lu Mingze
    I brought it along on my way here.
[15:36] Lu Mingze
    It's on the food cart.
[15:43] Lu Mingfei
    Always so mysterious.
[15:49] Lu Mingfei
    It seems no different from before.
[15:53] Lu Mingfei
    A note.
[15:54] Xia Mi OS
    Brother Mingfei, we're heading out.
[15:57] Xia Mi OS
    I ordered you breakfast: fried
    dough sticks and tofu pudding.
[15:58] SIGN
    Cute Sister
[16:01] Lu Mingfei
    The food cart is still here.
[16:06] Lu Mingfei
    Looks like the food is real.
[16:11] Lu Mingfei
    Damn! You put chili sauce
    on the fried dough sticks!
[16:14] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingze, you're ruthless!
[16:18] Lu Mingfei
    If I trust you again, I'll be your son!
[16:21] Lu Mingfei
    Wait, since breakfast was a prank...
[16:25] Lu Mingfei
    The money-making Yanling
    can't be trusted, right?
[16:27] Lu Mingfei
    The bastard!
[16:34] Lu Mingfei
    It's for me...
[16:40] Lu Mingfei
    "This is a mission notification."
[16:42] Lu Mingfei
    "Please come downstairs
    immediately after receipt."
[16:45] Lu Mingfei
    "A black car is waiting for
    you at the hotel entrance."
[16:48] Lu Mingfei
    "The person in the car will
    tell you the mission details."
[16:52] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Danger is never far away.
[16:54] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Remain vigilant.
[16:56] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Someone left a note for
    you at the front desk.
[16:58] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    It's on the food cart.
[17:06] Webber
    The seal is intact, so the contents are safe.
[17:10] Klein
    You should have sent it
    directly to the school board.
[17:13] Klein
    It's sent here, so we have to wait for
    someone from the school board to pick it up.
[17:17] Webber
    I specifically told Chu Zihang
    to send it to us,
[17:20] Webber
    because I need to see the
    contents with my own eyes.
[17:24] Klein
    Huh? You... You're crazy!
[17:26] Klein
    You're peeking at the school board's
    top-secret SS-level information! You...
[17:32] Webber
    These are the confidential files
[17:33] Webber
    from the Xinguo police on
    "paranormal crimes" over the past five years.
[17:39] Klein
    Do the Xinguo police know about
    the existence of the Dragon Raja?
[17:41] Webber
    Unknown, but they definitely knew
[17:44] Webber
    these matters were beyond the
    comprehension of normal humans,
[17:48] Webber
    like this one.
[17:50] Webber
    Several years ago, on July 15th,
[17:52] Webber
    Typhoon Lotus caused three
    days of torrential rain.
[17:57] Webber
    During that storm,
[17:58] Webber
    an abandoned Maybach sedan was found
    with extensive inexplicable damage.
[18:04] Webber
    Furthermore, the driver had vanished
    from the face of the earth.
[18:09] Webber
    That driver was Chu Zihang's
    biological father.
[18:15] Klein
    No wonder the school board didn't
    assign Chu Zihang to lead the mission.
[18:18] Klein
    Using Chu Zihang was a last resort,
    but they couldn't trust him.
[18:22] Klein
    Even so, I have nothing
    to do with this matter!
[18:26] Klein
    But you will be punished by the
    school... no, by the party!
[18:30] Webber
    No, this matter is related to you.
[18:33] Webber
    Look at this.
[18:39] Klein
    Nibelungen?
[18:40] Klein
    The mythical land of the dead!
[18:44] Klein
    It's a virtual space created by alchemy.
[18:47] Klein
    Nibelungen is usually created by
    Dragon Emperor-level entities.
[18:51] Klein
    But what's that got to do with me?
[18:53] Webber
    The Nibelung Plan is a bloodline screening
    program led by the school board.
[18:59] Webber
    It selects elite students ranked A
    and above for special training,
[19:04] Webber
    with the goal of creating
    the strongest hybrid
[19:07] Webber
    to kill the Dragon Emperor in Nibelungen.
[19:10] Webber
    However, the principal has already decided
    on Caesar as the candidate for the plan.
[19:17] Klein
    There's already a candidate,
[19:19] Klein
    so what's the point of this list?
[19:22] Webber
    Because this plan has another purpose,
[19:25] Webber
    to get rid of those among us
    with questionable bloodlines!
[19:27] Webber
    Everyone on this list is considered
    to have questionable bloodlines,
[19:31] Webber
    including my student Chu Zihang,
[19:33] Webber
    your student Chen Motong, and Lu Mingfei.
[19:39] Webber
    Now that you know this,
[19:41] Webber
    are you still going to tell me
    it has nothing to do with you,
[19:45] Webber
    old friends?
[19:52] Klein
    What defines a questionable bloodline?
[19:54] Webber
    If the proportion of dragon blood
    exceeds that of human blood,
[19:58] Webber
    the hybrid becomes more dragon-like.
[20:01] Webber
    However, the expression of dragon blood
    can also be genetically recessive,
[20:06] Webber
    leading to gradual
    dragonization in the hybrid.
[20:11] Webber
    Once a certain threshold is exceeded,
[20:13] Webber
    they become enemies.
[20:16] Klein
    What happens if the school board
    deems their bloodline dangerous?
[20:20] Webber
    They won't kill them, but historically,
[20:24] Webber
    they've used lobotomies to purge
    those with dangerous bloodlines.
[20:30] Webber
    It's a type of brain surgery that removes
    white matter from the cerebral cortex,
[20:34] Webber
    turning people into idiots.
[20:35] Webber
    The lobotomy also severs the most crucial
    "spiritual resonance" in dragon bloodlines.
[20:46] Webber
    To protect my students,
[20:48] Webber
    I must destroy their three files.
[20:51] Webber
    So, what are your decisions?
[20:55] Jurgen
    Mingfei is a good kid.
[20:57] Jurgen
    I can't let him be treated like that.
[21:01] Webber
    What about you, Professor Klein?
[21:05] Klein
    Do I even need to give my answer?
[21:11] Webber
    The briefcase has been
    replaced with a new one,
[21:14] Webber
    and the seal has been remade.
[21:16] Webber
    The envelope has also been replaced.
[21:17] Webber
    The school board will never
    notice anything amiss.
[21:20] Webber
    But Professor Klein, this is unlike you.
[21:25] Webber
    Why are you protecting Chen Motong?
[21:28] Klein
    Lars had his reasons for
    entrusting her to me,
[21:31] Klein
    but I can't tell you what they are.
[21:33] Webber
    I see.
[21:35] Webber
    So please remember!
[21:37] Webber
    This has nothing to do with us.
[21:40] Webber
    Before Chu Zihang retrieved the documents,
[21:42] Webber
    the Hunters had already taken some of them.
[21:46] Webber
    That is, the ones we burnt.
[21:51] Klein
    Get rid of the ashes.
[21:53] Klein
    I'll open the door.
[21:58] Parsi
    Hello, are you Professor Klein?
[22:00] Parsi
    I'm Parsi, the school board secretary.
[22:03] Parsi
    I've been sent to retrieve a briefcase.

    Episode 9
[01:38] Lu Mingfei
    The food cart is still here.
[01:43] Lu Mingfei
    Looks like the food is real.
[01:51] Lu Mingfei
    For me...
[01:59] Lu Mingfei
    "This is a mission notification."
[02:01] Lu Mingfei
    "Please come downstairs
    immediately after receipt."
[02:04] Lu Mingfei
    "A black car is waiting for
    you at the hotel entrance."
[02:07] Lu Mingfei
    "The person in the car will
    tell you the mission details."
[02:11] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Remember, danger is never far away.
[02:13] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Remain vigilant.
[02:15] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Someone left a note for
    you at the front desk.
[02:16] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    I brought it along on my way here.
[02:20] Lu Mingfei
    The College suddenly sent me a mission email.
[02:24] Lu Mingfei
    Did something urgent happen?
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    Why didn't they ask Chu Zihang instead of me?
[02:37] Lu Mingfei
    A black car.
[02:39] Lu Mingfei
    Black...
[02:42] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! A luxury car!
[02:46] Lu Mingfei
    The plate is correct.
[02:47] Lu Mingfei
    It's here to pick me up.
[02:49] Lu Mingfei
    Do hybrids all love to show off?
[02:52] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! I can't see inside!
[02:55] Lu Mingfei
    Hey! Who are you?
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    Are you blind?
[02:58] Lu Mingfei
    The car door hit me.
[02:59] Lu Mingfei
    You...
[03:00] Anjou
    Hello, Lu Mingfei.
[03:04] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, Principal. Actually, I was just...
[03:06] Anjou
    Get in the car.
[03:13] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, this car doesn't have a driver.
[03:17] Anjou
    Norma is driving.
[03:19] Norma
    Hello, Lu Mingfei.
[03:21] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, hi, Norma.
[03:23] Norma
    Are you happy now?
[03:24] Lu Mingfei
    Yes, I'm happy. Very happy.
[03:27] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, are you also stuck in
    Chicago because of the strike?
[03:31] Anjou
    Sort of.
[03:32] Anjou
    I had originally planned to stay
    for two days to attend an auction.
[03:36] Lu Mingfei
    Uh, so that letter...
[03:39] Anjou
    Yes. You will attend the auction
    with me to carry out a mission.
[03:42] Anjou
    Sotheby's is one of the world's
    most prestigious auction houses,
[03:46] Anjou
    and a major hub for artwork.
[03:49] Lu Mingfei
    Wow...
[03:50] Lu Mingfei
    They're all priceless antiques.
[03:53] Lu Mingfei
    But...
[03:54] Lu Mingfei
    But...
[03:56] Anjou
    What's wrong?
[03:57] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, shouldn't we at least prepare
    a little for a mission like this?
[04:01] Lu Mingfei
    Even if you can stop time with Zero Time,
[04:04] Lu Mingfei
    it's still risky to take
    so many antiques away.
[04:06] Anjou
    Why do you think we're going there?
[04:08] Lu Mingfei
    I understand.
[04:10] Lu Mingfei
    Of course, it's...
[04:11] Lu Mingfei
    to do this!
[04:14] Anjou
    You think I'd take you along on a heist?
[04:16] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Is that not it?
[04:18] Anjou
    Of course not.
[04:23] Lu Mingfei
    Ah, you scared me.
[04:26] Anjou
    We're not interested in what's
    listed in the documents.
[04:28] Anjou
    This is a targeted auction,
[04:30] Anjou
    where legally restricted items within
    a certain scope are auctioned off.
[04:34] Anjou
    Therefore, only certain clients are invited.
[04:37] Anjou
    However, items that appear at such
    auctions often have unknown origins,
[04:41] Anjou
    and even large auction houses
    dare not make them public.
[04:45] Anjou
    Some interesting items can only
    be seen by attending in person.
[04:50] Lu Mingfei
    So... we're really just going to bid?
[04:53] Anjou
    Of course. Going to an auction
    means bidding on things.
[04:58] Lu Mingfei
    Ah, that's good, that's good.
[05:01] Tang Sen
    Anjou's here.
[05:03] Tang Sen
    Activate the Yanling barrier and trap them.
[05:20] Lu Mingfei
    Principal... did something just happen?
[05:24] Anjou
    We just entered a virtual
    maze created by Yanling,
[05:28] Anjou
    usually used to trap hybrids.
[05:30] Anjou
    Within its range,
[05:32] Anjou
    anyone without a bloodline
    is blocked from entering.
[05:34] Lu Mingfei
    So, how did I get in without a bloodline?
[05:36] Anjou
    You're S-rank.
[05:39] Lu Mingfei
    What are they going to do next?
[05:40] Anjou
    Kill us, probably.
[05:42] No. 3 OS
    Song of the spiral, lifting
    the foundations of the earth.
[05:46] No. 3 OS
    Yanling, Fold!
[05:46] Lu Mingfei
    Th-The ground... is r-rolling up!
[05:49] Anjou
    I'll be back soon.
[05:50] Lu Mingfei
    Then I...
[06:07] Lu Mingfei
    P-Principal, wh-what are you doing...
[06:10] Anjou
    Stay in the car and don't move.
[06:11] Anjou
    Norma, protect Lu Mingfei.
[06:13] Norma
    Yes, sir.
[06:18] No. 1
    As expected of Anjou.
[06:19] No. 1
    He's hard to deal with,
    even when he doesn't use Yanling.
[06:22] No. 2
    There are four of us.
    We're not afraid of him.
[06:24] No. 4
    Let's try using Fold again.
[06:26] No. 3
    Sure. This time I'll expand the range.
[06:31] No. 2
    Wail, world in my palm. Yanling, Compression!
[06:39] No. 3
    Song of the spiral, lifting—
[06:41] Anjou
    Shut up.
[06:42] No. 1
    Solidify, my blood.
[06:44] No. 1
    Become steel, become a hammer
    that destroys everything.
[06:47] No. 1
    Yanling, Physical Hardening!
[06:56] No. 2
    Yanling, Compression!
[07:01] Anjou
    Yanling, Zero Time!
[07:06] Anjou
    Die!
[07:07] No. 4
    Time control. Yanling, Wheel of Time!
[07:11] Anjou
    Zero Time... is deactivated?
[07:20] Anjou
    Someone is disrupting my Yanling,
    and they're nearby.
[07:23] Anjou
    Where are they?
[07:33] Anjou
    Zero Time!
[07:36] No. 4
    Yanling, Wheel of Time!
[07:37] Anjou
    To the left.
[07:39] Anjou
    Found you!
[07:41] No. 1
    Oh, no! She can't move
    while using Wheel of Time.
[07:44] No. 1
    Stop him!
[08:08] Anjou
    You're too slow.
[08:11] Anjou
    Zero... Time.
[08:15] Anjou
    If you want to stop me,
[08:17] Anjou
    you'll need at least an army.
[08:27] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, are you okay?
[08:29] Anjou
    I'm fine. It's all sorted.
[08:31] Lu Mingfei
    Who were those people just now?
[08:33] Anjou
    Our enemies.
[08:35] Lu Mingfei
    Aren't our enemies... dragons?
[08:37] Anjou
    That's right, but not just dragons.
[08:40] Anjou
    And sometimes, they're even
    more troublesome than dragons.
[08:43] Lu Mingfei
    So... who are they?
[08:46] Anjou
    Shh...
[08:48] Anjou
    For now, you don't need to know.
[08:52] Lu Mingfei
    That's right, in our first
    year, you said that
[08:54] Lu Mingfei
    I might get killed if I know too much.
[09:03] Tang Sen
    Sorry, the interception failed.
[09:05] Han Gao OS
    It's fine. Go to the auction,
[09:08] Han Gao OS
    and try to get close to the
    young man Anjou brought along.
[09:12] Tang Sen
    Understood.
[09:13] Anjou
    Let me repeat:
[09:15] Anjou
    you need to act as a new
    buyer at the auction,
[09:18] Anjou
    and help us buy something.
[09:19] Lu Mingfei
    Understood.
[09:20] Anjou
    Describe your identity.
[09:22] Lu Mingfei
    I'm Lu Mingfei, a nouveau riche.
[09:25] Lu Mingfei
    I'm trying to develop some artistic taste
[09:27] Lu Mingfei
    because I've fallen for
    a girl from the art college.
[09:29] Lu Mingfei
    I've finally made it to
    this prestigious auction,
[09:32] Lu Mingfei
    so I'm going to get something nice
    to display in my waterfront mansion!
[09:36] Anjou
    Good. Take this.
[09:40] Lu Mingfei
    A cigar?
[09:41] Lu Mingfei
    I don't know how to smoke this fancy stuff.
[09:44] Lu Mingfei
    I don't even smoke cigarettes.
[09:45] Anjou
    You don't need to.
[09:46] Anjou
    Just put it in your mouth.
[09:48] Anjou
    You're going to an auction,
[09:49] Anjou
    so you need an expensive hobby
    to show off your status.
[09:52] Anjou
    This is a premium cigar that costs 4000 apiece.
[09:54] Lu Mingfei
    F-For a cigar?
[09:56] Lu Mingfei
    Pretty nouveau riche, yeah.
[09:58] Anjou
    That's why I chose you instead
    of Chu Zihang or Caesar.
[10:01] Lu Mingfei
    That's right. Who else would
    be tacky and a show-off?
[10:05] Anjou
    This is your invitation.
[10:06] Anjou
    Norma opened an account for
    you at the Bank of Zurich,
[10:09] Anjou
    and deposited 2,000,000
    as a security guarantee.
[10:11] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! 2,000,000!
[10:13] Anjou
    They're mission funds, and will be withdrawn
    from your account after the mission.
[10:18] Lu Mingfei
    I don't care about the future,
    as long as I have it now.
[10:21] Lu Mingfei
    By the way, Principal,
    you're such a classy person,
[10:24] Lu Mingfei
    and you look so wealthy.
[10:26] Lu Mingfei
    Why don't you just buy it yourself?
[10:28] Anjou
    Auctions are a psychological game.
[10:30] Anjou
    Especially for rare items that
    rarely appear on the market,
[10:33] Anjou
    no one can immediately estimate their value.
[10:36] Anjou
    But if a seasoned buyer bids aggressively,
[10:39] Anjou
    many others will follow suit,
[10:40] Anjou
    driving up the price.
[10:42] Anjou
    And I am a seasoned buyer.
[10:45] Anjou
    Almost everyone there knows me.
[10:47] Lu Mingfei
    So when you bid,
    it means the item is valuable?
[10:50] Lu Mingfei
    In other words, I'm just a decoy?
[10:51] Anjou
    Yes, you're a decoy.
[10:53] Anjou
    I'm just there to bid on a
    few small items for show.
[10:56] Anjou
    I won't bid on the real target.
[10:59] Anjou
    I hope that it will be overlooked.
[11:01] Anjou
    But you'll bid on it, and everyone
    else will assume it's worthless,
[11:05] Anjou
    since you're a newcomer
    who'd buy such things.
[11:07] Anjou
    Therefore, no one will compete with you,
[11:10] Anjou
    and you can get it at the lowest price.
[11:13] Lu Mingfei
    Understood!
[11:14] Lu Mingfei
    By the way, Principal, do you
    know where Chu Zihang went?
[11:17] Lu Mingfei
    Also, we met a new student
    named Xia Mi yesterday.
[11:20] Anjou
    Norma gave Chu Zihang another mission.
[11:23] Anjou
    Norma.
[11:24] Norma
    Chu Zihang is currently taking Xia Mi
[11:26] Norma
    to the Seven Flags Roller Coaster
    Theme Park for a tour,
[11:28] Norma
    and giving her some pre-enrollment guidance.
[11:31] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, why does he get to take a
    pretty girl on a roller coaster,
[11:34] Lu Mingfei
    while I'm stuck here?
[11:36] Anjou
    I'm the principal.
[11:38] Anjou
    Am I not more important than a pretty girl?
[11:42] Lu Mingfei
    Of course, you're more important.
[11:47] Anjou
    Get out of the car.
[11:48] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? No way, for the sake of a man's pride?
[11:51] Lu Mingfei
    You wouldn't do that, right?
[11:54] Anjou
    You're a decoy, so you can't show up with me.
[11:57] Anjou
    Someone will pick you up here shortly.
[11:59] Anjou
    Remember to change your clothes.
[12:01] Anjou
    Walk with your chest held high.
[12:02] Anjou
    You are here to spend 2,000,000,
[12:04] Anjou
    so you should be arrogant.
[12:06] Anjou
    And you failed two classes last semester.
[12:08] Anjou
    If you complete this mission perfectly,
[12:10] Anjou
    I'll consider it a passing grade.
[12:12] Anjou
    Deal?
[12:15] Lu Mingfei
    Deal.
[12:16] Anjou
    I told you hanging out with me
    would be better
[12:19] Anjou
    than hanging out with pretty girls, didn't I?
[12:21] Lu Mingfei
    Uh, yeah.
[12:22] Anjou
    Wear these headphones.
[12:23] Anjou
    I'll give you advice during the auction.
[12:26] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[12:28] Lu Mingfei
    But Principal, I still feel
    I'm not suited for this.
[12:32] Lu Mingfei
    I really don't understand auctions.
    What if I mess up?
[12:34] Anjou
    It's fine if you don't understand.
[12:35] Anjou
    The College will create various
    learning opportunities for you.
[12:39] Anjou
    You are the only S-rank
    in the College right now.
[12:42] Anjou
    There's a lot to learn.
[12:45] Anjou
    While the Night Watch and I can
    still maintain the College,
[12:49] Anjou
    learn as quickly as possible.
[12:51] Anjou
    Because time... is running out.
[12:56] Lu Mingfei
    Time is running out?
[12:58] Anjou
    At my age, how much longer
    do you think I will live?
[13:02] Anjou
    I'm one of the earliest members
    of the Lionheart Society.
[13:06] Anjou
    Of course, if you lived through
    the entire 20th century,
[13:09] Anjou
    you would be just as
    indifferent to death as I am.
[13:14] Lu Mingfei
    Then why do you smoke so much?
[13:17] Anjou
    The advantage of dragon genes
[13:19] Anjou
    is that most of us will never
    contract fatal diseases.
[13:23] Anjou
    If I were to die one day,
[13:25] Anjou
    it would be because my body parts
    have deteriorated beyond use,
[13:28] Anjou
    or... because a Dragon Emperor's
    Yanling blew my head off.
[13:36] Anjou
    All right, you can go now.
[13:37] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, I...
[13:40] Lu Mingfei
    Principal!
[13:41] Anjou
    Go, go fight in the arena of wealth,
[13:43] Anjou
    you young wealthy heir of our nation, Xinguo!
[13:50] Lu Mingfei
    So that's how we conclude
    what happened earlier.
[14:08] Crowd
    I'm sorry, excuse me.
[14:13] Crowd
    Wow, who is this?
[14:21] Attendant
    Hello, may I see your invitation...
[14:26] Attendant
    Mr. Ricardo M. Lu.
[14:29] Attendant
    Hello, Mr. Lu, the auction is about to begin.
[14:31] Attendant
    Please come in.
[14:34] Driver
    I'm not M. Lu.
[14:36] Attendant
    Huh?
[14:49] Woman1
    Was that car just an escort?
[14:51] Woman2
    Who is this? So flashy.
[14:57] Driver
    Sir, this way.
[15:20] Woman3
    Show off.
[15:21] Woman4
    So he's a nouveau riche.
[15:22] Man1
    Let's go inside.
[15:23] Crowd
    Let's go.
[15:24] Crowd
    Did you see that?
[15:25] Crowd
    He's wearing two watches!
[15:26] Crowd
    He doesn't even know how stupid he is.
[15:27] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, wait...
[15:29] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you laughing?
[15:31] Lu Mingfei
    Th-These are designer brands.
    L-Look at this...
[15:34] Lu Mingfei
    Still laughing at me?
[15:35] Anjou OS
    They're laughing at you for wearing
    all these popular designer brands,
[15:38] Anjou OS
    and saying your fashion sense is too mixed.
[15:40] Anjou OS
    Don't pay attention to these people.
    This is your style.
[15:44] Lu Mingfei
    What a crappy style.
[15:47] Lu Mingfei
    Let's go.
[16:03] Lu Mingfei
    My seat is... row 10, seat 17...
[16:11] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, is this row 10, seat 17?
[16:13] Tang Sen
    That's right.
[16:14] Lu Mingfei
    Ah, thanks.
[16:15] Tang Sen
    Romario Tang Sen, just call me Roma.
[16:18] Lu Mingfei
    Uh... Hello, I'm Lu Mingfei.
[16:21] Tang Sen
    I haven't seen you before.
[16:23] Tang Sen
    Are you a newcomer?
[16:24] Lu Mingfei
    Um... I've been working
    as an architect in Xinguo.
[16:28] Tang Sen
    My family is also in architecture.
[16:29] Anjou OS
    Don't say too much. It'll lead to mistakes.
[16:33] Auctioneer
    Ladies and gentlemen,
[16:35] Auctioneer
    the auction will begin in five minutes.
[16:38] Auctioneer
    I am the auctioneer for this event.
[16:40] Auctioneer
    Please hold on to your paddle and
    don't miss out on anything you like.
[16:45] Auctioneer
    Now, it's dark,
[16:48] Auctioneer
    so please close your eyes.
[16:50] Lu Mingfei OS
    What's going on? Playing Werewolves?
[16:55] Lu Mingfei OS
    Everyone... is so obedient?
[16:57] Auctioneer
    Please open your eyes.
[17:10] Anjou OS
    Don't fidget. Don't look around.
[17:12] Lu Mingfei
    But... they're... they're...
[17:15] Anjou OS
    Yes, they all have real Golden Eyes.
[17:18] Anjou OS
    This isn't some costume party.
[17:21] Anjou OS
    They reveal their Golden Eyes
    to show their bloodlines.
[17:24] Anjou OS
    Everyone attending this auction is a hybrid.
[17:27] Anjou OS
    This is... a feast for dragons!
[17:35] Lu Mingfei
    A feast for dragons?
[17:37] Lu Mingfei
    A bunch of half-dragons partying
    in a dragon's lair, right?
[17:40] Lu Mingfei
    But I'm the only little rabbit here!
[17:43] Auctioneer
    Okay, lights on.
[17:48] Tang Sen
    How is it? Are you getting
    used to this ritual?
[17:51] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah.
[17:53] Lu Mingfei
    It's been a while since I've shown
    off my super pure Golden Eyes.
[17:58] Lu Mingfei
    Are all the auctions like this?
[17:59] Tang Sen
    Yes, this ritual has been performed
    ever since these auctions started.
[18:03] Tang Sen
    Many people light up their Golden Eyes to
    show off the purity of their bloodline,
[18:06] Tang Sen
    and put pressure on others
    when they look at them.
[18:09] Tang Sen
    After all, the crowd here is diverse.
[18:11] Tang Sen
    Besides us ordinary people
    attending this auction,
[18:15] Tang Sen
    there are also members of the
    Thirteen Nobles Alliance,
[18:17] Tang Sen
    the Secret Party and the
    Hunter Organization.
[18:20] Lu Mingfei OS
    What?
[18:22] Lu Mingfei OS
    Hybrids are split into factions?
[18:25] Tang Sen
    Look at that person in the VIP section.
[18:26] Tang Sen
    They're from the Thirteen Nobles.
[18:28] Tang Sen
    Their family is very powerful
    in the economic sphere.
[18:31] Tang Sen
    Rumor has it that the Thirteen Nobles are
    beginning to collaborate with another faction.
[18:37] Lu Mingfei
    Oh!
[18:38] Anjou OS
    Now... it's time for me to give you a lesson.
[18:43] Lu Mingfei
    Excuse me, ahem.
[18:45] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, go ahead.
[18:46] Anjou
    You've always believed that Cassel College is
    the only place where hybrids gathered, right?
[18:51] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, I'm ignorant.
[18:53] Anjou
    Actually, hybrids have always been
    distributed across different parts of the world.
[18:57] Anjou
    Only a small portion were selected
    to join Cassel College.
[19:00] SIGN
    Secret Alliance
[19:01] Anjou
    The rest have their own ways of life.
[19:01] SIGN
    Medical Society
    of Sacred Heart
[19:03] SIGN
    Hunters
[19:06] Lu Mingfei
    Then which faction do we belong to?
[19:07] Anjou
    Cassel College was formerly
    known as the Secret Party,
[19:10] Anjou
    whose mission was to exterminate
    all pure-blooded dragons.
[19:13] SIGN
    Secret Party
[19:14] Anjou
    However, not every hybrid
    shares this ideology.
[19:17] Anjou
    They hate dragons, but they don't consider
    themselves on the side of humans either.
[19:21] Anjou OS
    All these factions,
    including the Secret Party,
[19:24] Anjou OS
    consider their bloodlines
    superior to humanity,
[19:26] Anjou OS
    positioning themselves as the
     "third race" between humans and dragons.
[19:29] Anjou OS
    But due to their different viewpoints,
[19:31] Anjou OS
    they may not support us.
[19:33] Lu Mingfei
    Oh... Then...
[19:34] Auctioneer OS
    The first item is now up for sale.
[19:37] Anjou
    All right, let's leave it here,
[19:39] Anjou
    and enjoy the auction.
[19:40] Anjou
    When I give you the signal, raise your
    paddle in the most leisurely manner,
[19:44] Anjou
    then bid high, and secure it.
[19:46] Anjou
    As you young people say,
[19:49] Anjou
    just be awesome.
[19:52] Lu Mingfei
    That's what I'm best at!
[20:16] Auctioneer
    Next up, we have our usual special segment,
[20:19] Auctioneer
    "Unexpected Encounter."
[20:22] Lu Mingfei
    Encounter? Sure, take your
    time with that encounter.
[20:25] Anjou OS
    Here we go. Your mission today is to get the
    item in the "Unexpected Encounter" segment.
[20:29] Anjou OS
    It's very important to us.
[20:31] Anjou OS
    Get it at any cost.
[20:33] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[20:35] Lu Mingfei OS
    Hmph!
[20:37] Lu Mingfei OS
    Is it finally my turn to shine?
[20:40] Lu Mingfei OS
    All right, bring it on!
[20:42] Auctioneer
    This is an extraordinary item.
[20:44] Auctioneer
    All the auctioneers were
    amazed when they saw it.
[20:49] Lu Mingfei
    Such a big deal? It can't be anything good!
[20:52] Auctioneer
    Unfortunately, we don't know its heritage,
[20:55] Auctioneer
    or even its age,
[20:57] Auctioneer
    so we can't set a suitable starting bid.
[21:02] Auctioneer
    With the seller's permission,
[21:04] Auctioneer
    this will be a rare auction
    with a starting bid of zero.
[21:07] Lu Mingfei
    Eh?
[21:08] Auctioneer
    Also, each bid increment
    can be one An dollar.
[21:15] Lu Mingfei
    So, it's not worth much, then.
[21:17] Tang Sen
    There's probably nothing valuable inside.
[21:21] Lu Mingfei
    You think so too, right?
[21:22] Auctioneer
    Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!
[21:25] Auctioneer
    For just one An dollar, a mythical weapon,
[21:28] Auctioneer
    an alchemical sword and dagger set!
[21:51] Lu Mingfei
    The Seven Deadly Sins.
[21:53] Auctioneer
    Now, I will reveal its
    true identity to you all.

    So, it's not worth much, then.
[01:40] Tang Sen
    There's probably nothing valuable inside.

    The Seven Deadly Sins.
[02:19] Auctioneer
    This mysterious box contains
    seven alchemical weapons,
[02:23] Auctioneer
    each one extraordinary.
[02:25] Auctioneer
    Now, I will reveal its
    true identity to you all.
[02:39] Lu Mingfei
    Opening the box so easily...
[02:42] Lu Mingfei
    As expected... those blades
    have fallen asleep again.
[02:50] Lu Mingfei
    Luxuria...
[02:55] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    Lao Tang...
[02:57] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    I didn't mean to.
[02:59] (Flashback) Lu Mingfei
    I-I didn't mean to.
[03:07] Lu Mingfei
    The man I stabbed underwater...
[03:11] Lu Mingfei
    Was it Dragon Emperor Norton,
[03:14] Lu Mingfei
    or...
[03:16] Lu Mingfei
    the brother who taught me how to interview?
[03:20] Lu Mingfei
    Who...
[03:23] Lu Mingfei
    Who...
[03:25] Anjou
    Lu Mingfei,
[03:26] Anjou
    both your and Nono's reports
    on the Dragon Emperor's death
[03:28] Anjou
    mentioned a set of weapons
    called the Seven Deadly Sins.
[03:31] Anjou
    According to the reports,
[03:33] Anjou
    they were lost during your ascent
    from the bottom of the sea.
[03:36] Anjou
    But today, we're fortunate enough to witness
    these alchemical artifacts that transcend time.
[03:42] Anjou
    Indeed, they are priceless.
[03:46] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, actually, that report...
[03:48] Audience A (Male)
    Hey, wait.
[03:50] Audience A (Male)
    Those are fakes, right?
[03:51] Audience A (Male)
    There's no way those blades are antiques.
[03:53] Audience A (Male)
    Even with perfect preservation,
    they wouldn't be flawless.
[03:56] Audience A (Male)
    They look pristine enough to have
    been manufactured this year.
[04:00] Audience A (Male)
    This is way too fake.
[04:02] Audience
    They do look fake!
[04:04] Auctioneer
    As I said earlier,
[04:06] Auctioneer
    none of the appraisers could
    confirm their age or heritage,
[04:10] Auctioneer
    hence the starting bid of one An dollar.
[04:12] Auctioneer
    Your bid depends on your interest.
[04:15] Auctioneer
    At the very least,
    it's a decent set of blades,
[04:18] Auctioneer
    perfect for kitchen use.
[04:20] Bystander A (Male)
    Kitchen knives?
[04:22] Bystander A (Male)
    Fine, I bid... one An dollar!
[04:28] Auctioneer
    Ladies and gentlemen, even a basic
    kitchen knife costs more than that!
[04:33] Auctioneer
    Can we get some competitive bids, please?
[04:37] Bystander B (Male)
    Fair point. I bid... two An dollars!
[04:40] Bystander A (Female)
    Three An dollars!
[04:44] Auctioneer
    Everyone, please bid seriously.
[04:47] Auctioneer
    Our appraiser highly
    recommends this knife set.
[04:50] Auctioneer
    It's far more valuable than it looks.
[04:53] Sakatoku Mai
    Two hundred thousand An dollars.
[04:55] Audience
    Huh?
[04:57] Audience
    How much?!
[04:58] Lu Mingfei
    T-Two hundred thousand?!
[05:00] Henkel (off)
    Who is that person?
[05:02] Henkel (off)
    Never seen her before.
[05:04] Henkel (off)
    Could she know the secret
    of the Seven Deadly Sins?
[05:08] Tang Sen
    No idea. I'll keep an eye on her.
[05:11] Anjou
    Lu Mingfei, bid.
[05:14] Lu Mingfei
    Two hundred ten thousand!
[05:18] Lu Mingfei
    I've never spent so much money in my life.
[05:20] Lu Mingfei
    This should seal the deal, right?
[05:23] Sakatoku Mai
    Three hundred thousand!
[05:25] Lu Mingfei
    No way!
[05:25] Auctioneer
    Three hundred thousand!
[05:27] Auctioneer
    Three hundred thousand!
[05:27] Auctioneer
    Three hundred thousand
    from Miss No. 88! Going once!
[05:30] Auctioneer
    Three hundred thousand!
[05:31] Audience F
    Interesting. Now I want it, too.
[05:34] Audience F
    Three hundred fifty thousand!
[05:35] Sakatoku Mai
    One million... An dollars.
[05:40] Auctioneer
    One million?
[05:42] Sakatoku Mai
    One million five hundred thousand.
[05:44] Auctioneer
    Hold on, madam. No one else
    bid against you just now.
[05:47] Auctioneer
    So is your bid 1,000,000 or 1,500,000?
[05:51] Sakatoku Mai
    Whatever I said before doesn't matter.
[05:53] Sakatoku Mai
    It's now 1,500,000.
[05:56] Audience H
    Bidding against herself to inflate the price?
[05:58] Audience H
    This woman is absolutely insane!
[06:00] Henkel OS
    That person is definitely a problem.
[06:02] Henkel OS
    Have her brought to me after the auction.
[06:05] Tang Sen
    Understood. I won't let her leave the venue.
[06:08] Anjou
    Someone's getting serious.
[06:10] Anjou
    One million seven hundred thousand.
[06:11] Auctioneer
    One million seven hundred thousand.
[06:12] Auctioneer
    The bid is 1,700,000!
[06:14] Auctioneer
    One million seven hundred
    thousand going once!
[06:15] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, d-didn't you say
    you wouldn't bid yourself?
[06:19] Anjou
    I'm just confusing the competition.
    You're still the trump card.
[06:24] Sakatoku Mai
    Two million.
[06:25] Auctioneer
    Two million!
[06:26] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, that's the limit.
[06:28] Lu Mingfei
    I've only got 2,000,000!
[06:30] Anjou
    Keep bidding. We'll help
    you with the settlement.
[06:33] Lu Mingfei
    O-Okay. Two million ten thousand!
[06:36] Auctioneer
    Two million ten thousand! The bid is 2,010,000!
[06:37] Lu Mingfei OS
    Stop bidding, Ma'am!
[06:40] Lu Mingfei OS
    If the Principal isn't reliable,
    then it's my money that'll be spent!
[06:46] Sakatoku Mai
    Ten million!
[06:49] Audience
    Ten million!
[06:51] Secret Party Man 1
    Is she deliberately showing off her strength,
[06:54] Secret Party Man 1
    or is there some secret in that
    knife set we don't know about?
[06:57] Secret Party Man 2
    I'll investigate after the auction.
[06:59] Hunter Male 1
    This lunatic is quite interesting.
[07:03] Hunter Female 1
    Then let's make sure she
    doesn't leave this city.
[07:05] Auctioneer
    Ten million! Did everyone hear that?!
[07:08] Auctioneer
    It's 10,000,000 from No. 88!
[07:11] Auctioneer
    Ten million, going once!
[07:12] Auctioneer
    Any more bids?
[07:15] Auctioneer
    Any more bids?
[07:17] Auctioneer
    Ten million, going twice!
[07:19] Anjou
    Lu Mingfei, keep bidding!
[07:21] Lu Mingfei
    But... But... money...
[07:25] Anjou
    I'll arrange funds to help you
    as soon as possible, but for now,
[07:28] Anjou
    you must hold your ground.
[07:30] Anjou
    We must not allow anyone else
    to take the Seven Deadly Sins!
[07:33] Lu Mingfei
    But, Principal...
[07:34] Auctioneer
    Anyone else? Is anyone else bidding?
[07:35] Anjou
    Mingfei, I believe in you.
[07:37] Anjou
    You must also believe in yourself.
[07:39] Anjou
    You are the one I chose.
[07:41] Anjou
    Wherever you go, you will shine.
[07:43] Lu Mingfei
    I really...
[07:44] Anjou
    There must be a way!
[07:46] Lu Mingfei
    I'm just a poor kid.
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    I'll mess this up. I-I'll...
[07:51] Anjou
    So you're giving up?
[07:53] Anjou
    Will you accept that?
SIGN    Giving up again?
SIGN    Fine.
SIGN    If the College can't cover your bid,
SIGN    you'll bear full responsibility.
SIGN    Escape has always been your way of life.
SIGN    So this time...
SIGN    keep going?
[08:18] Lu Mingfei
    Who... do you think you're looking down on?!
[08:22] Lu Mingfei
    The Seven Deadly Sins...
[08:24] Lu Mingfei
    ...were mine to begin with!
[08:28] Lu Mingfei
    Twenty million!
[08:30] Audience
    Twenty million?!
[08:34] Tang Sen
    You...
[08:35] Audience
    Another lunatic.
[08:36] Audience
    What's going on today?
[08:38] Audience
    Everyone's gone mad!
[08:38] Audience
    Could it get any crazier?
[08:39] Audience
    Some nouveau riche kid whose
    paddle was shaking while bidding
[08:42] Audience
    just increased the price by 10,000,000!
[08:44] Audience
    Insane! They're all lunatics!
[08:46] Audience
    Does this kid have that much money?
[08:48] Audience
    Who the hell is he?
[08:49] Audience
    This is weird.
[08:51] Audience
    Where did he come from?
[08:52] Audience
    Never seen him before.
[08:59] Auctioneer
    Are you sure?
[09:00] Attendant
    Yes, it's confirmed.
[09:02] Auctioneer
    I understand.
[09:05] Auctioneer
    Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
    for your interest in this lot.
[09:09] Auctioneer
    However, the intensity of bidding
    has far exceeded our expectations.
[09:13] Auctioneer
    To prevent fraudulent bids,
[09:16] Auctioneer
    we must temporarily suspend the auction.
[09:18] Auctioneer
    Additionally, No. 17, Mr. Lu,
[09:21] Auctioneer
    please come with us to the
    finance office immediately.
[09:24] Lu Mingfei
    Eh?
[09:33] Financier
    We sincerely apologize, Mr. Lu.
[09:36] Financier
    Your bidding strategy is truly outrageous.
[09:39] Financier
    To ensure the integrity of the auction,
[09:41] Financier
    we had no choice but to ask you to come here.
[09:43] Financier
    The Limmat bank account you provided us
[09:46] Financier
    only has 2,000,000 An dollars
    as a security deposit.
[09:48] Financier
    If you cannot prove your ability
    to pay 20,000,000 An dollars,
[09:52] Financier
    we will be forced to cancel your bid.
[09:55] Lu Mingfei
    H-H-How can that be possible?
[09:58] Lu Mingfei
    J-Just that little?
[10:01] Lu Mingfei
    Two million's what I'd spend on a new car!
[10:04] Lu Mingfei
    What about that woman?
[10:06] Lu Mingfei
    Her bids are also outrageous.
[10:08] Lu Mingfei
    Why aren't you checking her account?
[10:09] Financier
    Her credit is sufficient.
[10:10] Lu Mingfei
    M-My credit is sufficient, too.
[10:12] Financier
    Is that right?
[10:14] Financier
    Then please enter your
    Limmat bank account password.
[10:17] Financier
    We need to verify.
[10:22] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, I'll enter it.
[10:24] Lu Mingfei
    Don't be scared, okay?!
[10:25] Lu Mingfei
    How dare you look down on me.
    I'm wearing two watches!
[10:29] Lu Mingfei
    There you go!
[10:35] Financier
    Mr. Lu, we hold significant
    authority at Limmat Bank,
[10:39] Financier
    so we can precisely verify your balance.
[10:41] Financier
    Therefore, we can see that your account
    only contains 2,000,000 An dollars.
[10:47] Lu Mingfei
    You've got it wrong.
[10:48] Lu Mingfei
    Look at all those zeros, you must've...
[10:52] Financier
    Sorry, I need to take this call.
[10:55] Financier
    I see, all right.
[10:56] Financier
    Understood.
[10:58] Financier
    Mr. Lu, we just got word from the auction.
[11:01] Financier
    No. 88 is raising her bid to 50,000,000!
[11:09] Financier
    Yes,
[11:10] Financier
    you heard correctly.
[11:12] Financier
    Her bid is 50,000,000.
[11:14] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    Something's going to happen today.
[11:16] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    You will have an important
    event that requires money.
[11:19] Financier
    I think there's no one else
    bidding against her now!
[11:23] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    I know you're broke, so I came
    here to lend you some money.
[11:26] Financier
    Including you, with only 2,000,000.
[11:29] Lu Mingfei
    Who says there's no one?
[11:31] Lu Mingfei
    I can continue bidding right now.
[11:33] Financier
    Mr. Lu, I solemnly advise you,
[11:36] Financier
    unless you can provide a new,
    well-funded account to prove yourself...
[11:41] Lu Mingfei
    I really hate the look in your eyes.
[11:44] Lu Mingfei
    It's like my high school teacher reading
    my report card in front of the class.
[11:47] Financier
    Thank you. Regarding the account...
[11:50] Lu Mingfei
    I don't need a new one.
[11:51] Lu Mingfei
    Just let me re-enter the password.
[11:53] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    "Show Me The Money" is the temporary
    Yanling for this occasion.
[11:56] Lu Mingfei
    Show Me The Money...
[11:58] Lu Mingfei
    The cheat code will give
    me 10,000 An dollars,
[12:00] Lu Mingfei
    but what I need isn't 10,000
    An dollars. I need more.
[12:03] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    It increases your assets by 10,000,
[12:05] (Flashback) Lu Mingze
    and it's reusable.
[12:06] Lu Mingfei
    Far more than 10,000 An dollars.
[12:08] Lu Mingfei
    Times 10.
[12:10] Lu Mingfei
    Not enough, times 100.
[12:11] Lu Mingfei
    Not enough, times 1,000.
[12:12] Lu Mingfei
    I need to borrow 100,000,000!
[12:14] Lu Mingze
    All right, Brother.
[12:19] Norma
    Authorization granted.
[12:20] Norma
    Initiating transfer to Limmat Bank.
[12:22] Norma
    Amount: 100,000,000 An dollars.
[12:27] Financier
    Are you done?
[12:28] Lu Mingfei
    See for yourself.
[12:36] Financier
    Sorry, Mr. Lu.
[12:37] Financier
    There's still 2,000,000.
[12:41] Financier
    What's happening?!
[12:43] Financier
    A-Are my eyes deceiving me?
[12:45] Financier
    I-Is this device malfunctioning?
[12:47] Financier
    Impossible. There's no way...
[12:49] Financier
    A ton of money is being
    transferred into this account.
[12:52] Financier
    Eight— 90,000,000!
[12:56] Lu Mingfei
    One hundred million?
[13:03] Lu Mingfei
    Have you verified the amount?
[13:07] Financier
    Yes. Yes.
[13:10] Financier
    Your account balance...
    has increased to 100,000,000.
[13:13] Lu Mingfei
    My preferred strategy is going all-in.
[13:16] Lu Mingfei
    Bidding is a waste of everyone's time.
[13:18] Lu Mingfei
    I'll bid 100,000,000.
[13:19] Lu Mingfei
    If someone bids higher, I'll give up.
[13:22] Lu Mingfei
    I've authorized you.
[13:24] Lu Mingfei
    That paddle is now worth 100,000,000.
[13:26] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, and the current look in your eye?
[13:29] Lu Mingfei
    Not bad.
[13:34] Financier
    H-Hello? Auctioneer?
[13:38] Auctioneer
    R-Really?
[13:40] Auctioneer
    All right. Understood.
[13:43] Auctioneer
    Ladies and gentlemen, I have a
    sincere announcement to make:
[13:47] Auctioneer
    No. 17, Mr. Lu, has authorized a bid
    for this set of knives in the amount of....
[13:53] Auctioneer
    one hundred million An dollars!
[13:55] Audience
    One hundred million An dollars!
[13:56] Audience
    That's way too much!
[13:58] Auctioneer
    One hundred million An dollars, going once!
[14:02] Auctioneer
    One hundred million An dollars, going twice!
[14:06] Tang Sen
    We can't outbid that.
[14:08] Henkel
    Ignore him for now.
[14:09] Henkel
    Keep an eye on No. 88.
[14:11] Henkel
    Bring her to me immediately.
[14:13] Henkel
    Remember to call for lots of backup.
[14:15] Henkel
    She's no ordinary woman.
[14:19] Auctioneer
    Sold!
[14:28] Lu Mingfei
    One hundred million...
[14:29] Lu Mingfei
    Holy crap, I actually spent 100,000,000!
[14:33] Lu Mingfei
    Without the principal's authorization,
[14:36] Lu Mingfei
    for something as ethereal and empty
    as pride, I spent 100,000,000!
[14:41] Lu Mingfei
    What the hell am I doing?
[14:44] Man outside door
    Hey, Bro, you've been peeing for ages.
[14:47] Man outside door
    I can't hold it anymore.
[14:47] Lu Mingfei
    What? Can't I take my time?
[14:49] Lu Mingfei
    I didn't pee all day yesterday!
[14:51] Man outside door
    Oh, okay. I'll go find a tree outside.
[14:59] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe I did this...
[15:03] Lu Mingfei
    because of Lao Tang.
[15:08] Lu Mingfei
    Principal... you have to help me pay it back.
[15:13] Lu Mingfei
    If you don't help me pay it back,
[15:15] Lu Mingfei
    I'm completely finished.
[15:18] Sakatoku Mai OS
    Mr. Lu.
[15:19] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[15:22] Lu Mingfei
    It's you.
[15:23] Sakatoku Mai
    Your final bid was impressive.
[15:26] Sakatoku Mai
    I really liked that set of knives,
[15:28] Sakatoku Mai
    but without your financial resources,
[15:31] Sakatoku Mai
    I had to give up on it.
[15:33] Lu Mingfei
    Sorry.
[15:34] Sakatoku Mai
    Did you hear the excitement of the crowd?
[15:36] Sakatoku Mai
    They were applauding you.
[15:45] Sakatoku Mai
    Perhaps one day,
[15:47] Sakatoku Mai
    the whole world will applaud you.
[15:51] Sakatoku Mai
    I look forward to seeing you next time.
[15:53] Lu Mingfei
    Uh, sure.
[15:59] Lu Mingfei
    That is...
[16:01] Lu Mingfei
    the first time a girl has kissed me.
[16:04] Security
    Hurry!
[16:05] Security
    She's just ahead! Hurry!
[16:06] Security
    Catch her!
[16:08] Security
    Don't let her get away!
[16:12] Security A
    Mr. Lu.
[16:14] Lu Mingfei
    What's... going on?
[16:15] Security A
    Apologies. Due to unforeseen circumstances,
[16:17] Security A
    please remain where you are for now.
[16:20] Security A
    We won't harm you.
[16:23] Tang Sen
    All available personnel at the
    auction have been mobilized.
[16:26] Tang Sen
    There's no way No. 88 can leave this place.
[16:28] Henkel OS
    Good. Remember, you mustn't show your face.
[16:31] Tang Sen
    Understood.
[16:33] Tang Sen
    Everyone, move in!
[16:41] Security 1
    Miss, please come with us. You just...
[16:45] Security 1
    Sorry, your pickup line is way too cliché.
[16:52] Security
    Catch her! Don't let her escape!
[16:54] Security
    After her!
[16:56] Security
    Catch her!
[16:57] Security 2
    Miss, if you go any further, you might...
[17:04] Sakatoku Mai
    Yanling, Hell's Light!
[17:56] Sakatoku Mai
    Don't stop now.
[17:58] Sakatoku Mai
    You can't give up halfway
    when pursuing a girl.
[18:02] Security
    Catch her!
[18:03] Security
    Don't let her get away!
[18:04] Security
    Go!
[18:09] Security
    H-Hurry!
[18:11] Security
    Through there!
[18:20] Security
    Go!
[18:35] Security
    She jumped.
[18:45] Su Enxi
    What are you doing?
[18:46] Sakatoku Mai
    Changing clothes.
[18:48] Sakatoku Mai
    You should know how frustrating it is
[18:51] Sakatoku Mai
    to hide something so beautiful under a robe.
[18:53] Su Enxi
    Hm... is it done?
[18:56] Sakatoku Mai
    As you said, 100,000,000.
[18:58] Sakatoku Mai
    I let Lu Mingfei take the Seven Deadly Sins.
[19:00] Su Enxi
    Hm... Okay.
[19:03] Su Enxi
    Well done.
[19:04] Su Enxi
    I can see 100,000,000 An dollars
    added to the account already.
[19:07] Su Enxi
    After deducting salvage fees,
    that's a net profit of 98,600,000.
[19:11] Su Enxi
    On that note,
    Cassel College is truly loaded,
[19:14] Su Enxi
    able to mobilize that much cash in seconds.
[19:17] Sakatoku Mai
    But isn't selling the
    Seven Deadly Sins for 100,000,000
[19:20] Sakatoku Mai
    a bit cheap?
[19:22] Sakatoku Mai
    These lethal blades can
    slay other Dragon Emperors.
[19:25] Sakatoku Mai
    You won't find another set in the world.
[19:28] Su Enxi
    It can't be helped. The strongest
    weapon requires the strongest wielder.
[19:33] Su Enxi
    Actually, I'd give them away for free,
[19:36] Su Enxi
    if it meant returning them to Lu Mingfei.
[19:38] Passerby
    Today's auction was extraordinary.
[19:40] Passerby
    That kid actually paid 100,000,000.
[19:47] Anjou
    What's up?
[19:50] Henkel
    Relax.
[19:51] Henkel
    We're old friends.
[19:53] Henkel
    It's been a while, and I wanted to catch up.
[19:56] Anjou
    Yes, old friend.
[19:58] Anjou
    I remember in 1899,
[20:00] Anjou
    you shot me in Texas when I turned my back.
[20:04] Henkel
    It's been over 100 years.
[20:06] Henkel
    You're not still holding a grudge, are you?
[20:08] Henkel
    Back then, you could only
    slow time for four seconds.
[20:11] Henkel
    Now, it's over ten seconds, right?
[20:15] Henkel
    I'm old. I'm not the
    "Quickdraw Henkel" I used to be.
[20:19] Anjou
    But your "Sacred Judge" is too troublesome.
[20:21] Anjou
    I'm not confident I can dodge it.
[20:25] Henkel
    That kid you brought hasn't
    left the auction yet.
[20:29] Anjou
    So?
[20:30] Henkel
    He'll be fine.
[20:32] Henkel
    I just wanted to have a chat with you.
[20:34] Henkel
    Come with me.
[20:40] Moustache
    The auction is over.
[20:42] Moustache
    In the end, Lu Mingfei won
    that item for 100,000,000.
[20:45] Moustache
    According to the rules, we can't touch it.
[20:49] Frost
    Don't worry about it. Where's Anjou?
[20:51] Moustache
    Henkel went to find him,
[20:52] Moustache
    to invite him to our room.
[20:54] Moustache
    You know, all the current leaders of
    our secret alliance are here today.
[20:58] Moustache
    It's quite the honor for old Anjou.
[21:01] Moustache
    When he gets here, we must
    have a proper talk with him.
[21:05] Frost
    Remember, the Holy Palace Medical Society
    will be on your side for now.
[21:09] Moustache
    Okay, that's it for now.
[21:12] Moustache
    The old guys are here.
[21:17] Anjou
    Are these the representatives
    of your generation's families?
[21:21] Henkel
    The outstanding young
    talents from each family.
[21:25] Henkel
    I'm getting old,
[21:26] Henkel
    but seeing you still as agile
    as a young man—I envy you.
[21:30] Anjou
    Cut to the chase.
[21:32] Anjou
    What's going on?
[21:33] Henkel
    We heard you killed Norton and Constantine,
    the "Bronze and Flames" of the Four Rulers.
[21:39] Anjou
    Correct.
[21:40] Henkel
    But we're not sure if you
    obtained their dragon bones.
[21:43] Anjou
    We could have secured both,
[21:45] Anjou
    but something unexpected happened.
[21:47] Anjou
    A student, acting swiftly,
[21:48] Anjou
    struck Norton head-on with a storm torpedo,
[21:51] Anjou
    sending him crashing into the sea.
[21:52] Anjou
    We searched the entire area afterwards,
[21:55] Anjou
    but couldn't find his remains.
[21:56] Suit Woman
    But you're certain Norton is dead?
[21:58] Anjou
    Survival seems unlikely.
[22:00] Anjou
    Furthermore, we did kill Constantine,
[22:04] Anjou
    and recovered his remains.

[01:38] Anjou
    Cut to the chase.
[01:40] Anjou
    What's going on?
[01:41] Henkel
    We heard you killed Norton and Constantine,
    the "Bronze and Flames" of the Four Rulers.
[01:47] Anjou

    Survival seems unlikely.
[02:08] Anjou
    Furthermore, we did kill Constantine,
[02:12] Anjou
    and recovered his remains.
[02:17] Henkel
    For the first time in history,
[02:19] Henkel
    we've actually slain one of the Four Rulers.
[02:22] Henkel
    In the foreseeable future,
[02:24] Henkel
    I believe all Dragon Emperors
    will fall one by one.
[02:27] Moustache
    Come, Anjou, to a brand new era!
[02:30] Anjou
    No, what matters isn't a brand new era,
[02:34] Anjou
    but the end of a certain era.
[02:37] Moustache
    You won't drink with me?
[02:38] Anjou
    I'm driving.
[02:41] Moustache
    Our alliance and your
    secret party are both hybrids.
[02:44] Moustache
    We should be good friends,
[02:46] Moustache
    but we have differing
    views on the Dragon Raja.
[02:50] Moustache
    You already have the power
    to slay the first generation,
[02:52] Moustache
    and we're happy to see that.
[02:54] Moustache
    As for the dragon bones, name your price.
[02:57] Moustache
    We'll accept it unconditionally.
[02:58] Anjou
    Such generosity.
[03:00] Moustache
    Of course.
[03:01] Moustache
    For our shared cause.
[03:03] Moustache
    After the end of the Dragon Raja,
    the hybrids should share power.
[03:06] Moustache
    As long as Cassel is willing to share,
[03:08] Moustache
    we won't be tight with money,
[03:10] Moustache
    and will pay whatever you want.
[03:12] Anjou
    Are we discussing how to divide territory?
[03:15] Moustache
    It's about creating and sharing the
    glory of the next era together!
[03:19] Anjou
    Sounds good.
[03:20] Anjou
    Do you have a concrete plan?
[03:22] Moustache
    First, and most importantly, the Holy Grail...
[03:25] Moustache
    I mean, the dragon bones.
[03:27] Moustache
    You can't have it for yourselves.
[03:29] Moustache
    You understand what I mean, Principal.
[03:31] Moustache
    The dragon bones hold the
    power of the Dragon Emperor.
[03:33] Moustache
    Dragons only have two ways
    to pass on their power.
[03:36] Moustache
    The first is through procreation.
[03:37] Moustache
    The second is by devouring their own kind!
[03:39] Moustache
    Especially the second—
    that's the true inheritance of power!
[03:43] Anjou
    So, divide the bones in half?
[03:44] Anjou
    You take half, we take half,
     and then have a barbecue?
[03:48] Moustache
    Precisely.
[03:49] Moustache
    Our condition for you to name a price
[03:52] Moustache
    is that we get half of the bones,
     and you get the other half.
[03:54] Anjou
    Can our half be a bit bigger?
[03:56] Anjou
    After all, we have more people.
    There might not be enough to barbecue.
[03:58] Moustache
    You!
[04:03] Moustache
    Fine.
[04:05] Moustache
    Look to the future, Principal.
[04:07] Moustache
    Why dwell on past disagreements?
[04:10] Moustache
    Once dragons are extinct, hybrids will
    be at the top of the evolutionary tree.
[04:14] Moustache
    Humans won't be able to compete with us.
[04:16] Moustache
    We'll become... the new Dragon Raja!
[04:18] Anjou
    The new Dragon Raja?
[04:20] Moustache
    Yes, the new Dragon Raja!
[04:33] Anjou
    When I was listening to you earlier,
[04:35] Anjou
    I kept wanting to trim your beard.
[04:38] Anjou
    It's a shame I slipped up a bit.
[04:39] Anjou
    I guess I can't charge you after all.
[04:48] Henkel
    Anjou, don't get angry with a child.
[04:51] Anjou
    Henkel, I've never been a calm person, have I?
[04:54] Henkel
    You haven't.
[04:55] Anjou
    Tell these kids of yours that
     if they want to make an offer,
[04:59] Anjou
    they need to understand who I am first.
[05:00] Anjou
    All dragons, whether born or self-proclaimed,
[05:04] Anjou
    are my enemies.
[05:06] Anjou
    And those who have been my enemies
[05:08] Anjou
    have met terrible fates.
[05:16] Henkel
    Your negotiation strategy was wrong.
[05:19] Henkel
    Anjou's desire is revenge.
[05:22] Henkel
    He wants to avenge his comrades who
    died at the hands of the Dragon Raja.
[05:25] Henkel
    If we help him with that,
[05:27] Henkel
    then he might agree to our terms.
[05:31] Henkel
    Come out.
[05:38] Henkel
    Colonel MFC this time?
[05:40] Henkel
    Last time it was Kamen Rider.
[05:42] Henkel
    Next time, can you please
    be more a little more presentable?
[05:45] Colonel MFC
    It's not the time to show my face yet, is it?
[05:47] Colonel MFC
    It wouldn't benefit either of us.
[05:49] Colonel MFC
    Besides, if I weren't
    attending your damn auction,
[05:52] Colonel MFC
    I wouldn't be wearing
    such an expensive outfit.
[05:55] Henkel
    You heard what Anjou said earlier.
[05:57] Henkel
    Should we trust him?
[05:59] Henkel
    Especially about the dragon bones.
[06:02] Colonel MFC
    He's not hiding anything.
[06:03] Colonel MFC
    He has the dragon bones.
[06:04] Colonel MFC
    The school board wants them,
    but Anjou won't hand them over.
[06:07] Henkel
    What's their next target?
[06:09] Colonel MFC
    Nothing definitive.
[06:11] Colonel MFC
    But execution bureau operatives
    have been traveling to and from Xinguo,
[06:13] Colonel MFC
    so the next target is probably there.
[06:16] Henkel
    Keep monitoring them.
[06:17] Henkel
    Also, I'm very interested in Lu Mingfei.
[06:20] Colonel MFC
    He's just a normal student,
    as normal as they come.
[06:24] Henkel
    Does he have any special background?
[06:25] Henkel
    At today's auction,
[06:27] Henkel
    someone covered his 100,000,000
    bid within 10 seconds.
[06:31] Colonel MFC
    Hm... maybe the bank's
    computer system got hacked,
[06:34] Colonel MFC
    or Anjou covered it for him.
[06:36] Colonel MFC
    That kid is very poor.
[06:39] Henkel
    It was neither.
[06:41] Henkel
    There are 25 million retail investors
    across global stock markets.
[06:45] Henkel
    In those 10 seconds, each transferred four
    dollars from their accounts to Lu Mingfei,
[06:50] Henkel
    totaling 100,000,000.
[06:51] Henkel
    In other words, when Lu Mingfei needed money,
[06:54] Henkel
    the entire world instantly
    donated to him. It's like...
[07:00] Henkel
    the hand of a god was tilting
    the scales of wealth.
[07:04] Colonel MFC
    Him?
[07:06] Colonel MFC
    He's... a god?
[07:08] Henkel
    From now on, focus on monitoring Lu Mingfei.
[07:12] Colonel MFC
    Understood. Anything else?
[07:14] Henkel
    Go to Cassel College.
[07:15] Henkel
    The dragon bones should
    be hidden underground.
[07:18] Henkel
    Retrieve them!
[07:20] Colonel MFC
    Yes! Chief Henkel, I'm leaving.
[07:22] Henkel
    You should use something
    else to cover your face.
[07:25] Henkel
    Your paper bag is about to tear.
[07:27] Colonel MFC
    Tsk, like that would stop me!
[07:32] Colonel MFC
    Ah! I forgot to make holes
    for my eyes. Damn it!
[07:38] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, you're here.
[07:39] Anjou
    Are you okay?
[07:40] Lu Mingfei
    Security just surrounded me,
[07:41] Lu Mingfei
    insisting that I confirm the
    Seven Deadly Sins were safely in the car.
[07:45] Anjou
    Put them in the trunk. I'll drive.
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    Sure.
[07:51] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, do you know all those
    hybrids attending the auction?
[07:55] Anjou
    It doesn't matter if I know them or not.
[07:56] Anjou
    Soon, they will all become our enemies.
[07:59] Anjou
    If we can kill the Four Rulers,
[08:01] Anjou
    then the day the last Dragon
    Emperor falls in a pool of blood
[08:04] Anjou
    will be the day the hybrids go to war.
[08:07] Lu Mingfei
    War? Aren't we all related?
[08:10] Anjou
    Dragons are accustomed to killing each other.
[08:12] Anjou
    Only the most superior bloodlines survive,
[08:15] Anjou
    gradually increasing their genetic advantage.
[08:17] Anjou
    This instinct has been passed down to us.
[08:20] Anjou
    You just haven't noticed.
[08:21] Lu Mingfei
    Eh... As a coward, I'd prefer not to notice!
[08:24] Anjou
    Can you have some self-respect?
[08:26] Anjou
    You're our only S-rank.
[08:28] Anjou
    I've already put you out there.
[08:30] Anjou
    Attending this auction was your first
    step onto the hybrid social scene,
[08:34] Anjou
    and they've already taken notice of you.
[08:36] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? But I'm just a decoy, right?
[08:39] Lu Mingfei
    As a decoy... there's no need for
    them to remember my name, right?
[08:42] Anjou
    You... are our new ace.
[08:47] Lu Mingfei
    Ace?
[08:49] Lu Mingfei
    Isn't that the sort of person who gets
    killed no matter how awesome they are?
[08:52] Lu Mingfei
    No wonder the invitation used my real name.
[08:54] Lu Mingfei
    The damn principal is trying
    to push me into trouble.
[08:58] Anjou
    Hybrids, like dragons,
    take pride in their bloodlines.
[09:02] Anjou
    It wasn't easy to find an S-rank like you,
[09:04] Anjou
    so of course we have to put you out there.
[09:06] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks for thinking so highly of me.
[09:08] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, I've always wanted to ask you...
[09:10] Lu Mingfei
    Were you really not messing with
    me when you gave me an S-rank?
[09:16] Anjou
    Mingfei, have you ever thought
    about why you exist in this world?
[09:21] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[09:23] Lu Mingfei
    Do you know what blood sorrow is?
[09:25] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? What the hell's that?
[09:28] Lu Mingfei
    Never really thought about it.
[09:30] Anjou
    I have no family,
[09:31] Anjou
    and my best friends are all dead.
[09:33] Anjou
    Yet I'm still living in my pitiful old age.
[09:36] Anjou
    There's not much left in this
    world that's dear to me.
[09:40] Anjou
    But I still can't let the
    dragons destroy everything.
[09:43] Anjou
    If they destroy Cassel College,
[09:45] Anjou
    I'll have failed my friends
    in the Lionheart Society.
[09:48] Anjou
    If they desecrate the graves
    of the girls I once loved,
[09:50] Anjou
    I'll fight them to the end.
[09:52] Anjou
    Because these are the only
    things left in my life.
[09:53] Lu Mingfei
    P-P-Principal!
[09:55] Anjou
    If anyone dares to touch my
    last slice of cream cake,
[09:58] Anjou
    I'll fight them to the death!
[10:01] Lu Mingfei OS
    The principal is a lonely warrior.
[10:05] Anjou
    Mingfei, what's your reason?
[10:09] Lu Mingfei
    B-Because I don't have a girlfriend yet?
[10:12] Anjou
    Not enough.
[10:13] Lu Mingfei
    All right, actually I want
    to see my parents again.
[10:16] Anjou
    Still not enough!
[10:17] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[10:17] Anjou
    The meaning of life lies in the things that
    go through your mind as you're about to die!
[10:22] Anjou
    Do you feel the memories
    rushing back, Mingfei?
[10:24] Anjou
    See that car up ahead?
[10:26] Anjou
    We're about to hit it! Think fast!
[10:28] Lu Mingfei
    I'm thinking, I'm thinking!
[10:30] Lu Mingfei
    I'm really thinking,
    but I can't come up with anything...
[10:34] Lu Mingfei OS
    Can I really not think of something?
[10:36] Lu Mingfei
    Is my life just a collection
    of these fragments?
[10:38] Lu Mingfei
    Nothing worth holding onto...
[10:40] Lu Mingfei
    What's worth cherishing in a
    worthless life like mine?
[10:55] Lu Mingfei
    Is that me?
[11:00] (Flashback) Lu Mingze (young)
    Brother, you have to live on.
[11:04] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingze?
[11:06] (Flashback) Lu Mingze (young)
    We both have to live on.
[11:08] (Flashback) Lu Mingze (young)
    Life is all we have!
[11:13] (Flashback) Lu Mingze (young)
    Our fire... will set the world... alight!
[11:25] Anjou
    You look very emotional.
[11:27] Anjou
    But you don't have to tell me.
[11:30] Anjou
    Everyone has a reason to live.
[11:33] Anjou
    Because of these fragile reasons,
    we fight the dragons.
[11:37] Anjou
    They may be fragile,
[11:39] Anjou
    but they're all we have.
[11:57] Xia Mi
    Hey, look at those people.
[11:58] Xia Mi
    Their outfits are so weird!
[12:00] Xia Mi
    Look over there! That looks fun!
[12:02] Xia Mi
    Let's try that later!
[12:03] Chu Zihang
    It's time for orientation.
[12:07] Xia Mi
    Brother, we're on the Ferris wheel!
[12:11] Chu Zihang
    I specifically chose the Ferris wheel,
[12:12] Chu Zihang
    because orientation requires avoiding crowds.
[12:17] Xia Mi
    I thought you did it because I'm beautiful.
[12:21] Xia Mi
    Do you even know the meaning of
    taking a girl on a Ferris wheel?
[12:24] Chu Zihang
    What's the difference between a
    Ferris wheel and the other rides?
[12:28] Xia Mi
    Do you know the three sacred dating spots?
[12:31] Xia Mi
    Movie theaters, aquariums, and Ferris wheels.
[12:34] Chu Zihang
    Why?
[12:35] Xia Mi
    Because the Ferris wheel is a romantic place!
[12:38] Xia Mi
    You can't talk about unpleasant
    topics in romantic places.
[12:41] Chu Zihang
    Is orientation an offensive topic?
[12:44] Xia Mi
    Compared to throwing spiders
    at girls and laughing,
[12:47] Xia Mi
    orientation isn't that unpleasant.
[12:53] Xia Mi
    By the way, this is my first time
    going to a theme park with someone.
[12:56] Chu Zihang
    Ah...
[12:57] Xia Mi
    I have a mentally disabled older brother.
[12:59] Xia Mi
    Every weekend, my parents
    have to stay home with him.
[13:02] Xia Mi
    If I want to go to the theme park,
    I have to go alone.
[13:05] Xia Mi
    But who wants to go to a theme park alone?
[13:08] Chu Zihang
    I thought you were really spoiled at home.
[13:11] Xia Mi
    Why?
[13:12] Chu Zihang
    Because... it seemed like that.
[13:16] Xia Mi
    I'll take that as a compliment.
[13:18] Xia Mi
    My brother and I are twins.
[13:21] Xia Mi
    He was born six hours before me.
[13:23] Xia Mi
    Because I was taking ages to come out,
[13:25] Xia Mi
    the doctors and nurses were so worried
[13:27] Xia Mi
    that they forgot to look after my brother.
[13:29] Xia Mi
    Then he couldn't breathe and
    suffocated for half an hour,
[13:33] Xia Mi
    so he became mentally disabled.
[13:37] Xia Mi
    Mom and Dad said my brother
    gave me his chance.
[13:41] Xia Mi
    He would've been clever and talented, too.
[13:43] Xia Mi
    So I need to do better than everyone else,
[13:46] Xia Mi
    because half of what I have
    belongs to my brother.
[13:51] Xia Mi
    That's why no matter how hard
    I try, I never get praised.
[13:58] Xia Mi
    Brother, a rich kid like
    you wouldn't understand.
[14:01] Chu Zihang
    You don't like your brother?
[14:03] Xia Mi
    No, I really love him.
[14:05] Xia Mi
    He loves me, too.
[14:07] Xia Mi
    I remember one time when he
    threw a tantrum in the hospital,
[14:10] Xia Mi
    eyes open and refusing to sleep all night.
[14:12] Xia Mi
    But when he saw me,
    his eyes softened instantly.
[14:18] Xia Mi
    I held out my hand.
[14:19] Xia Mi
    He sniffed it,
[14:21] Xia Mi
    and when he recognized the scent,
[14:23] Xia Mi
    that it belonged to his little sister,
[14:25] Xia Mi
    then...
[14:28] Xia Mi
    he fell asleep peacefully.
[14:34] Xia Mi
    Just like... a puppy.
[14:37] Xia Mi
    Would you dislike your own puppy?
[14:40] Chu Zihang
    I like dogs, but I can't have one.
[14:42] Chu Zihang
    My mom is allergic to cat and dog hair.
[14:45] Xia Mi
    When I go out, my brother
    always likes to follow me.
[14:48] Xia Mi
    One time, I looked back
    and couldn't find him.
[14:49] Xia Mi
    I panicked and ran back,
    looking everywhere for him.
[14:55] Thugs
    We've been eyeing you for a while,
    and you're still pretending to be dumb.
[15:00] Thugs
    Die! Die! We'll kill you!
[15:04] Xia Mi
    My brother is very strong,
    so I don't let him hit people.
[15:08] Brother (8yo)
    Sister, I listened to you.
[15:11] Brother (8yo)
    I didn't fight back.
[15:13] Xia Mi (8yo)
    Brother, you can hit them back.
[15:22] Xia Mi
    I don't like it when people bully my brother.
[15:27] Xia Mi
    If he could come to the theme park,
[15:30] Xia Mi
    he'd probably be very happy, right?
[15:33] Chu Zihang
    This is also a kind of blood sorrow.
[15:35] Xia Mi
    Huh?
[15:36] Chu Zihang
    Our group often gets together
    because of blood ties
[15:41] Chu Zihang
    and the loneliness of not
    fitting into society.
[15:43] Xia Mi
    Hey, there you go again!
[15:45] Xia Mi
    We're still on the Ferris wheel!
[15:47] Announcer
    Dear passengers,
[15:48] Announcer
    your ride on the Ferris wheel is over.
[15:51] Announcer
    Please leave in an orderly fashion.
[15:53] Xia Mi
    It's all your fault!
[15:54] Chu Zihang
    I...
[15:54] Anjou
    Dear visitors,
[15:56] Anjou
    it seems you've talked a lot
    about life and aspirations.
[15:59] Anjou
    Welcome back to the ground.
[16:01] Xia Mi
    Principal?!
[16:02] Lu Mingfei
    And me, Brother Lu!
[16:05] Xia Mi
    Principal, why are you here?
[16:08] Anjou
    Mingfei said he's never been
    to the Seven Flags theme park.
[16:11] Anjou
    He's also upset that we didn't let him do
    orientation with the pretty junior student,
[16:15] Anjou
    so I brought him along.
[16:16] Xia Mi
    Principal, you're so handsome.
    I like you the most.
[16:18] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Brother.
[16:20] Lu Mingfei
    I'm not one to start trouble,
[16:22] Lu Mingfei
    but if I were you, I wouldn't tolerate that
    old guy openly poaching my girlfriend like that!
[16:27] Chu Zihang
    What does that have to do with me?
[16:32] Anjou
    That's the Snake of the Atrium,
[16:33] Anjou
    the world's most thrilling roller coaster.
[16:36] Anjou
    It's also the most famous
    attraction in this theme park.
[16:39] Xia Mi
    Wow! Let's ride that!
[16:41] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[16:42] Anjou
    All right. Amazing. Let's go.
[16:45] Xia Mi
    Let's go!
[16:47] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, are you... scared, too?
[16:50] Chu Zihang
    I-I get motion sick.
[16:53] Lu Mingfei
    What a mess!
[16:54] Lu Mingfei
    College orientation is a serious occasion!
[16:58] Lu Mingfei
    Why ride a roller coaster?
[17:00] Lu Mingfei
    Your ambition is to slay all
    the Dragon Emperors, right?
[17:03] Lu Mingfei
    You don't want to die of a heart attack on a
    roller coaster before you achieve that dream!
[17:08] Lu Mingfei
    Go tell her we should check out
    the Princess Castle instead!
[17:11] Chu Zihang
    My favorite ride is actually the
    Little Meow Meow Flower and Her Friends.
[17:15] Xia Mi
    Brothers, come on! Let's get on
    the roller coaster together!
[17:19] Lu Mingfei
    Brothers?
[17:22] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, your face is twitching.
[17:26] Chu Zihang
    Even Little Meow Meow and the
    Princess can't save us now.
[17:31] Chu Zihang
    All passengers, please keep
    your heads against the headrest
[17:34] Chu Zihang
    to prevent neck injuries
    from excessive acceleration.
[17:37] Xia Mi
    It's gonna start, it's gonna
    start! We're gonna fly!
[17:59] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? What? It stopped?
[18:02] Lu Mingfei
    Could it be...
[18:03] Lu Mingze
    Brother.
[18:05] Lu Mingfei
    It is you after all!
[18:06] Lu Mingze
    If you want to exchange,
    you have nine seconds left.
[18:09] Lu Mingze
    In nine seconds, no one in the
     world will be able save you.
[18:13] Lu Mingfei
    Damn you!
[18:16] Lu Mingfei
    Can you make an appointment next time?
[18:19] Lu Mingfei
    Pick a better time?
[18:21] Lu Mingfei
    I don't want to deal with some devilish
    salesman on a roller coaster!
[18:24] Lu Mingze
    The chance of having an accident on a
    roller coaster is about 1 in 250,000,000.
[18:28] Lu Mingfei
    I know, I...
[18:29] Lu Mingze
    But it's not zero.
[18:31] Lu Mingze
    For every 250,000,000 roller
    coaster rides worldwide,
[18:34] Lu Mingze
    there will be an accident.
[18:36] Lu Mingze
    For those caught up in it,
[18:38] Lu Mingze
    the fatality rate is 100%.
[18:43] Lu Mingfei
    Stop being such a jinx!
[18:44] Lu Mingze
    One in 250,000,000 is just
    a statistical probability,
[18:47] Lu Mingze
    but for the people on the roller coaster,
[18:49] Lu Mingze
    it will feel like fate.
[18:53] Lu Mingze
    They see wave after wave of passengers
    safely return to the ground,
[18:57] Lu Mingze
    so they believe they'll also be fine.
[18:59] Lu Mingze
    But once they get on the roller coaster,
[19:01] Lu Mingze
    the outcome suddenly changes.
[19:09] Lu Mingze
    The last ride headed for heaven.
[19:11] Lu Mingze
    This one...
[19:13] Lu Mingze
    is going straight to hell!
[19:17] Lu Mingze
    Help!
[19:19] Lu Mingze
    All right. For a quarter of your
    life, I'll take care of it.
[19:23] Lu Mingze
    Don't expect me to do it for free this time.
[19:25] Lu Mingze
    It wasn't easy for me to
    develop you as a client.
[19:27] Lu Mingze
    When you go on dates, I send flowers.
[19:29] Lu Mingze
    When you buy stuff, I pick up the bill.
[19:31] Lu Mingze
    I've been your personal servant,
    practically serving tea and water.
[19:38] Lu Mingze
    It's the worst when other people
    mess with your business.
[19:41] Lu Mingze
    All right, this time,
[19:43] Lu Mingze
    I'll let him take care of it.
[19:49] Lu Mingfei
    The tracks are breaking!
[19:50] Anjou
    Zero Time!
[19:54] Anjou
    I can grant exemptions to
    a few people in my domain,
[19:56] Anjou
    allowing them to perceive time as I do.
[19:58] Anjou
    But doing so severely drains me.
[20:00] Chu Zihang
    How much time do we have?
[20:02] Anjou
    We only have six seconds.
[20:03] Anjou
    I can stretch that time
    fifty-fold, so 300 seconds.
[20:07] Anjou
    In that time, we must
    come up with a rescue plan.
[20:10] Anjou
    Otherwise, everyone on this ride will die.
[20:12] Chu Zihang
    While queuing, I saw the
    information on the wall.
[20:13] SIGN
    Notice
     (1) Passengers should strictly follow the instructions and decide
    whether their physical condition is suitable for the ride.
     (2) When riding the roller coaster, fasten your seat belt,
    hold on to the bar, and maintain a good riding posture.
     (3) During operation, the speed is controlled, and distance between cars is maintained.
    Deliberate collisions are prohibited to prevent accidents.
     (4) During operation, sit properly and hold on tightly.
    Do not stand up during the ride and do not unfasten your seat belt.
     (5) When the ride reaches its destination, leave quickly via the exit.
    For Emergency Use
    Fin-shaped
    Magnetic Brakes
[20:14] Chu Zihang
    This roller coaster has
    fin-shaped magnetic brakes.
[20:17] Chu Zihang
    The brakes can slow the ride down,
[20:18] Chu Zihang
    preventing it from passing the highest point.
[20:20] Chu Zihang
    It'll then reverse along
    the ascending track,
[20:22] Chu Zihang
    and return to the acceleration tunnel.
[20:24] Anjou
    The brakes can only be used
    below the Earth Pillar,
[20:26] Anjou
    otherwise the ride will derail.
[20:28] Anjou
    We need to do this when we
    approach the highest point.
[20:30] Anjou
    Hurry to the back of
    the ride and open the box.
[20:33] Anjou
    There'll be a red live wire and
    a blue neutral wire inside.
[20:36] Anjou
    Connect them together to
    activate the fin-shaped brakes.
[20:39] Anjou
    Braking only takes three to four seconds.
    Timing is critical.
[20:42] Anjou
    We must activate them about ten meters
    before the ride gets to the highest point.
[20:46] Anjou
    If we're too early, we'll be
    going too fast and might derail.
[20:49] Anjou
    If we're too late and go past the
    highest point, it'll be over.
[20:52] Anjou
    I could pass out at any moment,
[20:53] Anjou
    and won't be able to protect you.
[20:55] Anjou
    Chu Zihang, you're in charge of this mission.
[20:58] Anjou
    You have full command.
[21:00] Chu Zihang
    Understood!
[21:01] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, you...
[21:11] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei,
[21:12] Chu Zihang
    you'll stay at the front to observe.
[21:14] Chu Zihang
    When you're ten meters away, wave to me,
[21:16] Chu Zihang
    and I'll get started at the back.
[21:21] Xia Mi
    Principal! The rails... the rails are falling!
[21:25] Anjou
    Chu Zihang...
[21:33] Chu Zihang
    You... smiled at me like this, too.
[21:39] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei, go to the back and get started.
[21:41] Chu Zihang
    I'll block the rails.
[21:43] Chu Zihang
    Hurry!
[21:44] Lu Mingze
    Okay!
[21:50] Lu Mingze
    Live wire. Neutral wire.
[21:52] Lu Mingze
    Touch them to activate.
[21:54] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, I'm ready.
[21:56] Chu Zihang
    From the heights of Babylon,
[21:58] Chu Zihang
    burn like the sun!
[22:05] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei, get ready!

    Episode 12
[01:38] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, no!
[01:40] Lu Mingfei
    Brother's feet are on the two rails.
[01:42] Lu Mingfei
    Activating the fin brakes
    will apply a high voltage
[01:46] Lu Mingfei
    directly through the rails!
[01:48] Lu Mingfei
    If I activate them now,
    the current will fry his heart!
[01:52] Lu Mingfei
    I can move my legs, but he can't.
[01:54] Chu Zihang
    Activate them!
[01:55] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei, hurry!
[01:57] Chu Zihang
    Stop thinking about it.
    Whether you activate them or not,
[02:00] Chu Zihang
    I can't turn back now!
[02:02] Chu Zihang
    Do what you need to do,
    and trust me with the rest.
[02:06] Chu Zihang
    Hurry!
[02:13] Xia Mi
    Brother!
[02:14] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[02:28] Chu Zihang
    Ruler's Flames!
[02:46] Lu Mingfei
    Don't let it end like this.
[02:48] Lu Mingfei
    I should've made a deal
    with Lu Mingze earlier.
[02:51] Lu Mingfei
    At most, I'd lose a quarter of my life.
[02:53] Lu Mingfei
    Brother...
[02:55] Lu Mingfei
    Don't die like this.
[02:58] Lu Mingfei
    So heroic, yet so foolish.
[03:01] Chu Zihang
    I'm gonna die.
[03:05] Chu Zihang
    Dad...
[03:07] Chu Zihang
    This way...
[03:10] Chu Zihang
    Maybe I can see you again.
[03:13] Xia Mi
    Yanling:
[03:14] Xia Mi
    Wind King's Eyes!
[03:28] Chu Zihang
    It's...
[03:30] Chu Zihang
    an angel.
[03:33] Chu Zihang
    She's come to save me.
[03:40] Anjou
    Thank you to all heads of department
    for attending this meeting.
[03:43] Anjou
    Let us begin.
[03:45] Anjou
    You have all received the report.
[03:46] Anjou
    What do you think caused the
    destruction of these two structures?
[03:51] Doug Jones
    From a physical point of view,
[03:53] Doug Jones
    humans aren't capable of this yet.
[03:55] Doug Jones
    Both structures collapsed
    due to internal stress.
[03:59] Doug Jones
    Stress is the worst enemy of architects.
[04:01] Doug Jones
    If the stress is concentrated,
[04:03] Doug Jones
    even a structure built with
    the strongest materials
[04:06] Doug Jones
    will crumble at the touch of a child.
[04:09] Anjou
    Both the Snake of the Atrium
    and the South Train Station
[04:11] Anjou
    were designed by the most
    experienced architects,
[04:13] Anjou
    and built with impeccable materials,
[04:16] Anjou
    especially the Snake of the Atrium.
[04:17] Anjou
    Could such structures
    truly succumb to stress?
[04:19] Blair Bitner
    Yes. Stress is an internal force.
[04:22] Blair Bitner
    The assailant demonstrated
    a precise control of force.
[04:26] Blair Bitner
    He accurately found the "eyes" within the
    steel structure and exerted a force on them.
[04:30] Blair Bitner
    Triggering those highly stressed points
[04:32] Blair Bitner
    led to a chain reaction
    of structural failure,
[04:35] Blair Bitner
    that instantly destroyed
    those massive structures.
[04:39] Anjou
    Then... Who is capable of doing this?
[04:41] Doug Jones
    One of the Four Dragon Emperors:
[04:43] Doug Jones
    the Dragon Emperor of Earth and Mountain,
[04:45] Doug Jones
    the ultimate master of force.
[04:51] Blair Bitner
    The waves in the rock indicate that
    he's stretching before awakening.
[04:55] Blair Bitner
    On the day he fully stretches,
[04:57] Blair Bitner
    the mountains and forests
    will become an abyss.
[05:00] Blair Bitner
    Legend says that he can even
    penetrate the Earth's crust,
[05:04] Blair Bitner
    triggering cataclysmic quakes.
[05:06] Jean Grosse
    But the question is,
[05:07] Jean Grosse
    if the Dragon Emperor has awakened,
[05:10] Jean Grosse
    why hasn't he revealed himself publicly?
[05:12] Anjou
    I don't know. Perhaps there's
    something holding him back,
[05:15] Anjou
    or he thinks a show of force
    against us is a better strategy.
[05:18] Anjou
    But one thing is certain:
[05:20] Anjou
    war is about to start again.
[05:23] Anjou
    My deepest gratitude for your
    help, heads of department.
[05:26] Anjou
    Good will triumph over evil.
    Wherever light shines,
[05:29] Anjou
    darkness cannot hide.
[05:30] All
    Good will triumph over evil.
[05:32] All
    Wherever light shines,
[05:34] All
    darkness cannot hide.
[05:36] Blair Bitner
    Darkness cannot hide.
[05:41] Anjou
    Did you hear that?
[05:43] Lu Mingfei
    Yes.
[05:44] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, is it okay for me to eavesdrop
    on this confidential meeting?
[05:48] Anjou
    It's fine. It's time to
    reveal some secrets to you.
[05:51] Anjou
    There are things you'll need
    to know sooner or later.
[05:54] Lu Mingfei
    Secrets?
[06:01] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, what are you...
[06:04] Lu Mingfei
    What's going on?
[06:06] Anjou
    It's fine. We're just descending...
[06:08] Anjou
    to the other half of Cassel College.
[06:15] Anjou
    We call this system the Fish Tank.
[06:17] Anjou
    We're currently in an underwater
    tunnel beneath the Fish Tank.
[06:30] Lu Mingfei
    So we're inside the Fish Tank now?
[06:32] Anjou
    No, we're in an elevator.
[06:35] Anjou
    The principal's private observation elevator.
[06:40] Lu Mingfei
    And there's a forest?
[06:41] Anjou
    Yes, because artificial sunlight provides
    energy for the plants here to photosynthesize.
[06:46] Anjou
    There's also a zoo over there,
[06:48] Anjou
    housing over 8,000 animal species.
[06:50] Anjou
    There are five underground
    spaces like this worldwide.
[06:52] Anjou
    After excavation, each one preserves
    a vast quantity of plants and animals.
[06:56] Anjou
    All of human civilization, along with
    knowledge of alchemy and Yanling,
[07:00] Anjou
    have been sealed away here.
[07:02] Lu Mingfei
    Sounds like some kind of refuge.
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    Wow! Is that a pyramid?
[07:09] Anjou
    Let's go down and check it out.
[07:15] Anjou
    This pyramid was built by the Mayans.
[07:18] Anjou
    We found it in the jungles of South America,
[07:20] Anjou
    We took it apart, transported
    it here, and reassembled it.
[07:27] Anjou
    Notice any differences from normal pyramids?
[07:31] Lu Mingfei
    An extra face?
[07:33] Anjou
    Yes, well observed.
[07:36] Anjou
    Unlike other pyramids, it has five faces,
[07:39] Anjou
    each with 133 steps.
[07:42] Anjou
    The five faces represent the five solar ages,
[07:44] Anjou
    and each inscription represents
    a major event from that age.
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    Um... I don't really understand.
[07:51] Anjou
    The Mayans had a prophecy
    about the end of the world.
[07:54] Anjou
    The last page of the prophecy
    states that on the end of days,
[07:57] Anjou
    millions of crocodiles will spew
    water from the sky onto the earth.
[08:00] Anjou
    The world will be destroyed by floods,
    wind serpents, rain of fire, and earthquakes.
[08:05] Lu Mingfei
    Earth, fire, wind, water...
[08:09] Lu Mingfei
    Could it be...
[08:10] Anjou
    That's right. The Four Rulers of
    the Dragon Raja wield those elements.
[08:16] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, this is all religious nonsense, right?
[08:19] Lu Mingfei
    Why should we believe them?
[08:20] Anjou
    The Mayans did have incredible knowledge,
[08:23] Anjou
    such as having the most advanced
    astronomers in ancient times.
[08:26] Lu Mingfei
    They had such advanced technology back then?
[08:29] Anjou
    If a civilization possesses technology
    that was beyond its time,
[08:33] Anjou
    we can only assume it was obtained
    from another civilization.
[08:38] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? From the civilization
    of the Dragon Raja?
[08:41] Anjou
    That's right. Those are the
    relics left by the Dragon Raja.
[08:44] Anjou
    We think that the Dragon Raja prophesied the
    destruction of the world long ago and recorded it.
[08:49] Anjou
    We can call it "history of the future,"
[08:51] Anjou
    or call it "fate."
[08:54] Lu Mingfei
    Like Ragnarök?
[08:58] Lu Mingfei
    But Principal, do you actually
    believe these myths?
[09:02] Anjou
    We've always hoped that
    this prophecy was wrong.
[09:05] Anjou
    But with the Dragon Emperor of
    Bronze and Flames awakening,
[09:07] Anjou
    and the Dragon Emperor of
    Earth and Mountain on his way,
[09:10] Anjou
    we must seriously consider the possibility
[09:13] Anjou
    that we're approaching the day
    which has been long foretold.
[09:18] Lu Mingfei
    So, according to the prophecy, who wins?
[09:22] Anjou
    Both dragon and human civilizations
    will be destroyed.
[09:26] Lu Mingfei
    So if the Mayan calendar is actually
    a copy of the dragon calendar,
[09:30] Lu Mingfei
    aren't the dragons predicting
    their own demise?
[09:33] Anjou
    That seems to be the case.
[09:35] Anjou
    The Dragon Emperors, like humans,
    fear that long-foretold day of destruction.
[09:40] Anjou
    Look at the apex of the pyramid.
[09:41] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[09:48] Anjou
    The bones of Dragon Emperor
    Constantine lie inside.
[09:51] Anjou
    The school board has always
    wanted to know where I hid them.
[09:54] Anjou
    They're actually here in
    this botanical garden.
[09:56] Anjou
    But in a few days, they'll be moved
    to the deepest part of the ice vault.
[10:00] Anjou
    Too many people want to steal them.
[10:02] Anjou
    All right, after telling you all that,
    do you understand what I'm saying?
[10:06] Lu Mingfei
    Yes, I understand.
[10:07] Lu Mingfei
    I got it instantly.
    Principal, are you telling me that
[10:10] Lu Mingfei
    a catastrophe that even the Dragon
    Emperors can't survive is coming,
[10:12] Lu Mingfei
    and humanity is facing the end of days?
[10:14] Lu Mingfei
    So, as an S-rank, I must work hard,
[10:17] Lu Mingfei
    since the responsibility of saving
    the world rests on our shoulders.
[10:20] Lu Mingfei
    Is that what you mean?
[10:24] Anjou
    It's so unlike you to say
    something so grandiose.
[10:27] Lu Mingfei
    But Principal, this S-rank you
    admire isn't who you think he is.
[10:32] Lu Mingfei
    Sure, I have a touching backstory,
    but I'm really not cut out for it.
[10:35] Lu Mingfei
    Besides, aren't there still powerful
    people like you in the world, Principal?
[10:43] Anjou
    Even powerful people will die.
[10:45] Anjou
    Hope always lies with the youth.
[10:49] Anjou
    I hope that the flame of
    Cassel College will never die.
[10:53] Anjou
    It's one of the few treasures
    I have left in this world.
[11:02] Chu Zihang
    Such a warm fragrance,
[11:05] Chu Zihang
    like flowers drenched by rain.
[11:08] Chu Zihang
    Could it be that... angels truly exist?
[11:12] Xia Mi
    Brother, are you already being
    playful the moment you wake up?
[11:15] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi?
[11:16] Xia Mi
    That's right! Not an angel, but me,
[11:20] Xia Mi
    because you're not dead!
[11:24] Chu Zihang
    A hospital room?
[11:27] Chu Zihang
    This is unbelievable.
[11:29] Xia Mi
    This is the College's intensive care unit.
[11:31] Xia Mi
    You've been in a coma for ten days.
    They kept you alive with IV fluids.
[11:38] Chu Zihang
    Somehow... I didn't die.
[11:41] Xia Mi
    Hey, you sound so sad.
[11:43] Xia Mi
    Please, Brother, you barely escaped death.
[11:46] Xia Mi
    Can you drop the poker face and look happy?
[11:52] Xia Mi
    How insincere!
[11:53] Xia Mi
    At least say thanks!
[11:55] Xia Mi
    You're alive because I was incredibly
    brave and rushed to catch you!
[12:05] Chu Zihang
    My memory's a bit muddled,
[12:07] Chu Zihang
    but I did remember feeling
     someone catch me.
[12:10] Chu Zihang
    I caught a faint plant scent, too.
[12:14] Chu Zihang
    It's a bit like the air
    in this hospital room now.
[12:19] Xia Mi
    My Yanling is awesome!
[12:21] Xia Mi
    Have you heard of the Wind King's Eyes?
[12:23] Chu Zihang
    Is that the name of your Yanling?
[12:25] Chu Zihang
    No wonder you weren't scared
    at all on the roller coaster.
[12:27] Xia Mi
    Wind King's Eye, #74.
[12:30] Xia Mi
    It manipulates air currents within
    its domain to form vortexes.
[12:33] Chu Zihang
    If you master it,
[12:35] Chu Zihang
    as the caster, you can levitate,
[12:37] Chu Zihang
    or even briefly hover in midair.
[12:39] Xia Mi
    I was terrified at the time.
[12:41] Xia Mi
    Do you really think Wind King's Eye
     can be used as wings?
[12:43] Xia Mi
    Rising up isn't a problem,
[12:45] Xia Mi
    but whether we could land
    safely was down to luck.
[12:47] Xia Mi
    We ended up falling into the deep end of
    the White Water Rapids and survived.
[12:54] Xia Mi
    Saving you feels so unfulfilling.
[12:56] Chu Zihang
    Really?
[12:58] Xia Mi
    I've never met anyone who takes
    life as lightly as you!
[13:00] Xia Mi
    If you think you're worthless,
[13:02] Xia Mi
    why should I risk my life to save you?
[13:04] Chu Zihang
    I didn't want to die, of course.
[13:07] Chu Zihang
    But I couldn't think of any other way.
[13:09] Xia Mi
    Do you really want to be a hero?
[13:14] Chu Zihang
    Because once before,
[13:17] Chu Zihang
    someone died behind me.
[13:19] Chu Zihang
    I didn't do anything,
[13:22] Chu Zihang
    except keep driving forward.
[13:25] Chu Zihang
    By the time I had figured things
    out and tried to go back for him,
[13:29] Chu Zihang
    he was gone forever.
[13:32] Chu Zihang
    Do you understand that feeling?
[13:35] Chu Zihang
    If you still have the chance to fight,
[13:37] Chu Zihang
    don't wait until you regret it.
[13:40] Xia Mi
    What feeling?
[13:44] Chu Zihang
    The feeling that I'm a coward.
[13:49] Xia Mi
    You say that you're a coward,
[13:51] Xia Mi
    but secretly, you think you're so great.
[13:53] Xia Mi
    Aren't you just showing off?
[13:54] Xia Mi
    How arrogant can you be?
[13:56] Chu Zihang
    Right.
[13:58] Chu Zihang
    Everything I couldn't do...
[14:00] Chu Zihang
    is my fault.
[14:04] Xia Mi
    If you keep being so stubborn,
    you really will die one day.
[14:07] Chu Zihang
    Don't worry about things
    that don't concern you.
[14:09] Xia Mi
    Who says it doesn't concern me?
[14:11] Xia Mi
    I'll have to pay for flowers
    to put on your grave!
[14:13] Xia Mi
    Tell me what kind of flowers
     you want on your grave.
[14:16] Chu Zihang
    Lilies...
[14:18] Chu Zihang
    or chrysanthemums.
[14:21] Xia Mi
    Why not carnations?
    Carnations are beautiful.
[14:24] Chu Zihang
    Carnations represent love for your mother.
[14:28] Xia Mi
    Carnations are cheap.
[14:30] Xia Mi
    You can't see them anyway,
[14:31] Xia Mi
    so of course I'd buy the
    cheapest ones, right?
[14:34] Xia Mi
    Lilies and chrysanthemums.
[14:40] Chu Zihang OS
    Why isn't she talking?
[14:43] Chu Zihang OS
    Is she... finally letting me get some sleep?
[14:46] Nurse
    Time for an IV change.
[14:48] Nurse
    Oh, you're awake.
[14:50] Chu Zihang
    Yeah.
[14:51] Nurse
    Since you're up, I'll give you a... Huh?
[15:00] Nurse
    This girl hasn't slept in 48 hours.
[15:02] Nurse
    She's been waiting for you to wake up.
[15:09] SIGN
    Rome
[15:11] Frost
    The Dragon Emperor has awakened?
[15:13] Frost
    That's a surprising conclusion.
[15:15] Frost
    How certain are you?
[15:16] Parsi
    It's impossible that a human wielded
    such precise control over force,
[15:19] Parsi
    and the technology to do it
    doesn't exist either.
[15:21] Parsi
    It could only have been
    a Dragon Emperor.
[15:24] Parsi
    And the Dragon Emperor of Earth and
    Mountain is the master of force.
[15:27] Frost
    Let's assume the Dragon Emperor has awakened.
[15:30] Frost
    Why hasn't he attacked directly?
[15:32] Frost
    Why only two assassination attacks?
[15:35] Frost
    That suggests that his power
    hasn't fully recovered yet.
[15:39] Frost
    So why would a Dragon Emperor,
    still in its infancy, be in a rush to attack?
[15:43] Parsi
    He might have an opponent
    he must eliminate first.
[15:48] Frost
    His attack on Anjou at
    Seven Flags Theme Park is unsurprising,
[15:53] Frost
    but why would he target
    the South Train Station?
[15:57] Frost
    I reckon Anjou isn't the
    Dragon Emperor's true target.
[16:01] Frost
    His target is someone who appears
     repeatedly on both lists.
[16:09] SIGN
    South Train Station
    Raymond (Chu Zihang)
    (Lu Mingfei)
[16:09] Parsi
    Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei?
[16:11] SIGN
    Theme Park
    Anjou (Chu Zihang)
    (Lu Mingfei) Xia Mi
[16:12] Frost
    Cross off Lu Mingfei, too.
[16:14] Frost
    His target was Chu Zihang.
[16:17] Parsi
    Understood.
[16:18] Parsi
    I'll prepare the private jet right now.
[16:21] Frost
    You haven't looked up at me all day.
[16:25] Frost
    Why?
[16:33] Frost
    Have you taken your medication?
[16:35] Parsi
    Medication won't help.
[16:37] Parsi
    Self-control is sufficient.
[16:39] Frost
    Those with little time left
    should be kinder to themselves.
[16:46] Parsi
    Understood.
[16:48] Parsi
    Thank you for your concern.
[16:56] Anjou
    Awake?
[16:58] Chu Zihang
    Principal.
[17:00] Anjou
    How long have you been practicing
    this pear-peeling technique?
[17:02] Anjou
    No need to hide it. I'm a founding
    member of the Lionheart Society.
[17:06] Anjou
    What you know, I know.
[17:07] Chu Zihang
    Two years.
[17:08] Anjou
    You found those parchments in the
    Lionheart Society's original archives, right?
[17:13] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[17:14] Anjou
    The Blood Rage technique was developed
    over dozens of generations.
[17:17] Anjou
    You actually deciphered those parchments,
[17:19] Anjou
    and developed this forbidden
    technique by yourself.
[17:22] Anjou
    But do you know why we destroyed all
    records of this technique back then?
[17:28] Chu Zihang
    Blood Rage causes intense aggression,
    making it difficult to control yourself.
[17:31] Anjou
    That's right. We call that
    aggression the kill will.
[17:35] Anjou
    When enraged, dragons develop an
    impulse to attack all targets,
[17:39] Anjou
    unleashing extraordinary combat ability.
[17:41] Anjou
    It has the same effect on hybrids.
[17:43] Anjou
    The risk of losing control
     is indeed a downside,
[17:46] Anjou
    but that's not why
    Blood Rage became forbidden.
[17:51] Chu Zihang
    It's said that the dragons once bestowed
    their bloodline upon human leaders.
[17:56] Anjou
    Humans feared dragons,
    yet coveted their power.
[17:59] Anjou
    After the fall of the Emperors,
    humanity took control of the world.
[18:02] Anjou
    We carefully studied the surviving dragons,
[18:05] Anjou
    and in the name of tribute to the gods,
[18:07] Anjou
    forced human women to bear offspring
     with both humand and dragon blood,
[18:10] Anjou
    thus creating the so-called "hybrids."
[18:13] Anjou
    It was a cruel and barbaric ritual.
[18:16] Chu Zihang
    History...
[18:18] Chu Zihang
    can be so filthy it makes you sick.
[18:21] Anjou
    We hybrids all know that human
    blood must suppress dragon blood,
[18:25] Anjou
    otherwise, we become an aberration.
[18:27] Anjou
    We call that threshold the
    critical bloodline limit.
[18:31] Anjou
    Once you truly cross that line,
[18:33] Anjou
    dragon blood begins to
    erode your human essence.
[18:37] Anjou
    Eventually, you evolve into a dragon.
[18:41] Chu Zihang
    Can a hybrid become a full dragon?
[18:44] Anjou
    You can get infinitely close,
    but never truly become one.
[18:48] Chu Zihang
    Why?
[18:49] Anjou
    Human genes display incredible
    resilience at the final moment.
[18:52] Anjou
    Thus, hybrids never truly evolve
    into pure-blooded dragons,
[18:56] Anjou
    instead becoming something
    called Death Servitors.
[18:58] Anjou
    They die at the final moment of evolution,
[19:01] Anjou
    lose their identities,
    and become walking corpses.
[19:09] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[19:10] Anjou
    Blood Rage is a forbidden technique,
[19:12] Anjou
    because it will gradually bring you
    towards the critical bloodline limit.
[19:16] Anjou
    This technique is demonic.
[19:18] Anjou
    If you become too hungry for power,
[19:20] Anjou
    you'll end up as a Death Servitor.
[19:22] Anjou
    And when that happens,
[19:24] Anjou
    I'll have to kill you.
[19:27] Anjou
    But for you at that point,
[19:29] Anjou
    death would be the best outcome.
[19:33] Chu Zihang
    Are you going to expel me?
[19:35] Anjou
    I can overlook the Blood Rage incident.
[19:38] Anjou
    As an educator, I never
    violate my own school rules.
[19:42] Anjou
    This might be my only exception.
[19:45] Anjou
    Your courage has left a
    deep impression on me.
[19:47] Anjou
    Remember, never abuse forbidden techniques.
[19:51] Anjou
    Everyone wants to live a little longer.
[19:55] Anjou
    By the way, the school board
    might request a blood sample.
[19:58] Anjou
    It would be a problem if they got it,
[20:01] Anjou
    so I'll have your blood
    transfused in a few days.
[20:03] Anjou
    It might hurt.
[20:05] Anjou
    Remember to eat the pear.
[20:18] Parsi
    Hello, sorry to bother you.
[20:21] Parsi
    I'm Parsi, the secretary
    of the investigation team.
[20:23] Parsi
    I'm here to investigate you.
[20:24] Parsi
    I need a blood sample.
[20:26] Parsi
    It'll help us research you.
[20:38] Parsi
    Thanks.
[20:40] Parsi
    Your performance at the
     Seven Flags Theme Park was unforgettable.
[20:43] Parsi
    I hope to see even more
    spectacular displays from you.
[20:46] Parsi
    We'll see each other again.
[20:47] Parsi
    Let's have a chat sometime.
[20:53] Chu Zihang
    Why didn't I refuse?
[20:56] Chu Zihang
    Is it because...
[20:58] Chu Zihang
    we're the same kind of people?
[21:05] Nightwatchman
    You've come over in such heavy rain.
[21:07] Nightwatchman
    Is it urgent?
[21:09] Anjou
    I wanted to share something with you.
[21:12] Anjou
    You didn't see anyone
    on that overpass, right?
[21:16] Chu Zihang
    There was a car,
[21:18] Chu Zihang
    but no driver.
[21:19] Nightwatchman
    Chu Zihang?
[21:21] Nightwatchman
    You...
[21:22] Anjou
    I visited Chu Zihang this afternoon.
[21:24] Anjou
    Before we talked,
    I had Toyama Masashi hypnotize him.
[21:28] Anjou
    That's how I heard this.
[21:32] Anjou
    Tell me about those shadows.
[21:33] Anjou
    Who were they?
[21:34] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    They were thirsty.
[21:36] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    They wanted fresh meat,
[21:39] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    but they couldn't get it.
[21:41] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    They died.
[21:44] (Flashback) Anjou
    Do you remember the number of
    the entrance to the overpass?
[21:47] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    The rain...
[21:49] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    It was obscured by the rain.
[21:51] (Flashback) Anjou
    But you saw the sign, right?
[21:53] (Flashback) Anjou
    That's why you remember it
    was obscured by the rain.
[21:56] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    I can't see it.
[21:58] (Flashback) Anjou
    Think again. The sign, the green sign.
[22:00] (Flashback) Anjou
    It was obscured by rain, but after the rain
    washed away, some words became visible, right?
[22:05] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    Zero...
[22:06] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    Entrance zero!

SIGN    -The Mourner's Eyes-
[01:31] sign
    Episode 13
[01:35] (Flashback) Anjou
    Think again. The sign, the green sign.
[01:37] (Flashback) Anjou
    It was obscured by rain, but after the rain
    washed away, some words became visible, right?
[01:42] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    Zero...
[01:43] (Flashback) Chu Zihang
    Entrance zero!
[01:49] Anjou
    I went to see Chu Zihang this afternoon.
[01:51] Anjou
    My intention was to ask about Blood Rage,
[01:54] Anjou
    but I didn't expect to record this.
[01:56] Anjou
    I've checked the map,
[01:57] Anjou
    and the entrances to that
    overpass start at 001.
[02:01] Night Watchman
    So the entrance Chu Zihang
    used doesn't exist.
[02:07] Night Watchman
    Was the Maybach ever found?
[02:09] Anjou
    It was found on the overpass in the suburbs.
[02:12] Anjou
    The car looked like it had been
    attacked by hundreds of sharks.
[02:14] Anjou
    The only fingerprints on the steering wheel
    belonged to Chu Zihang and his father.
[02:18] Night Watchman
    It was there that Chu Zihang encountered
    Odin, the god from Western mythology,
[02:23] Night Watchman
    and he mistakenly believed
    that he was on the overpass.
[02:26] Night Watchman
    Could it have been an illusion?
[02:28] Night Watchman
    Mythology says Odin is the mortal enemy
    of black dragons and represents justice.
[02:31] Night Watchman
    He should have appeared with beautiful
    Valkyries, not Death Servitors.
[02:36] Anjou
    Yes, but based on Chu Zihang's description,
[02:38] Anjou
    those shadows must have been Death Servitors.
[02:41] Anjou
    But there's another possibility.
[02:42] Anjou
    You've already guessed it,
[02:44] Anjou
    but you're hesitant to say it, right?
[02:48] Night Watchman
    You... You mean...
[02:49] Anjou
    Yeah.
[02:55] Night Watchman
    Cut the nonsense!
[02:56] Night Watchman
    Nibelungen, the Land of the Dead?
[02:58] Night Watchman
    A child just happened to stumble in?
[03:00] Night Watchman
    Th-That place is like the Holy Temple!
[03:02] Night Watchman
    For millennia, alchemists have racked
    their brains trying to find it.
[03:06] Anjou
    It's rare to see you so upset.
[03:08] Anjou
    Tell me more about Nibelungen.
[03:15] Night Watchman
    Nibelungen, the Land of the Dead...
[03:17] Night Watchman
    Even if it exists, it's been
    sealed off for many years.
[03:21] Anjou
    Have you found evidence that it exists?
[03:23] Night Watchman
    Merely speculation.
[03:25] Night Watchman
    Anjou, have you noticed that when
    we were researching dragons,
[03:29] Night Watchman
    we've hardly found any remains
    of dragon gatherings,
[03:31] Night Watchman
    especially those when the Black Emperor
    Nidhogg ruled the world in the name of God?
[03:37] Anjou
    You mean, dragon civilization
[03:39] Anjou
    might be hidden in another dimension?
[03:41] Anjou
    Going there requires passing
    through a mysterious gateway.
[03:44] Anjou
    Do any scriptures mention how
    to open the gate to the Land of the Dead?
[03:48] Night Watchman
    Death.
[03:50] Night Watchman
    Generations of alchemists have tried
    to enter alive, but none has succeeded.
[03:54] Anjou
    Chu Zihang went there.
[03:55] Night Watchman
    He merely stumbled in.
[03:56] Anjou
    But it's is our only clue to date.
[04:00] Night Watchman
    Yes, that's true.
[04:03] Night Watchman
    Those who have been there might
    be able to find the old path.
[04:06] Night Watchman
    Only those chosen by the
    dragons may enter Nibelungen.
[04:12] Night Watchman
    If you actually found the
    entrance to Nibelungen,
[04:15] Night Watchman
    what would you do?
[04:17] Anjou
    I'd bind the dragons within their temples,
[04:19] Anjou
    put a nuclear bomb in each,
    and detonate them simultaneously.
[04:23] Anjou
    I'd sit on the copper pillar where
    the white empress was nailed,
[04:25] Anjou
    and watch the destruction
    of their reptilian world.
[04:29] Anjou
    Just thinking about it...
[04:30] Anjou
    is beautiful.
[04:36] Anjou
    Maybe Chu Zihang can
    find the entrance again.
[04:39] Anjou
    To ensure things go smoothly,
    you need to do me a favor.
[04:42] Anjou
    The school board's investigation team
    will arrive at the College tomorrow.
[04:45] Anjou
    They're probably planning
    to fire me as principal.
[04:49] Night Watchman
    Fire you?
[04:51] Anjou
    Yes.
[04:52] Anjou
    Someone probably entered the College in
    secret a few days ago to begin investigating.
[04:56] Night Watchman
    What triggered this?
[04:58] Anjou
    The Seven Flags Theme Park incident.
[05:00] Anjou
    Chu Zihang used "Ruler's Flames" publicly,
[05:03] Anjou
    instantly melting steel.
[05:04] Anjou
    This is far beyond the
    scope of ordinary Yanling.
[05:07] Anjou
    The school board suspects that
    his bloodline is a threat.
[05:10] Anjou
    If they can prove that, they can fire me.
[05:12] Anjou
    Additionally, intel we obtained from Xinguo
[05:15] Anjou
    included his accidental entry
    into the Land of the Dead.
[05:18] Anjou
    Although Webber deleted that
    section from the recovered data,
[05:21] Anjou
    his cover-up only intensified the
    College's scrutiny of Chu Zihang.
[05:26] Night Watchman
    Does the School Board know
    he entered Nibelungen?
[05:29] Anjou
    Not yet, otherwise their reaction
    wouldn't be this muted.
[05:32] Anjou
    But if they took Chu Zihang away,
[05:34] Anjou
    they could also hypnotize him like I did,
[05:36] Anjou
    and extract the truth from him.
[05:43] Night Watchman
    What do you want me to do?
[05:45] Anjou
    Just a small favor.
[06:02] Lu Mingfei
    Hm... If I hung a mourning
    banner over the bed,
[06:05] Lu Mingfei
    this scene would be complete.
[06:10] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei,
[06:11] Chu Zihang
    can I ask you something?
[06:13] Lu Mingfei
    Sure.
[06:16] Lu Mingfei
    Go ahead.
[06:18] Chu Zihang
    What's it like... to like someone?
[06:23] Lu Mingfei
    What exactly are you getting at, Brother?
[06:26] Chu Zihang
    You liked Chen Wenwen, right?
[06:28] Lu Mingfei
    Hey! Actually, I also liked Shi Yuanlimi,
[06:32] Lu Mingfei
    but I felt her age wasn't
    right for me. I'm...
[06:37] Lu Mingfei
    Just spit it out already!
[06:40] Lu Mingfei
    Just say it, and stop
    beating around the bush.
[06:44] Chu Zihang
    I wanted to ask, why might
    you like another person?
[06:49] Lu Mingfei
    Good looks.
[06:50] Chu Zihang
    Could you be more specific?
[06:51] Lu Mingfei
    Slim waist, long legs, long hair.
[06:55] Chu Zihang
    I mean, looks aside, are there other reasons?
[06:59] Lu Mingfei
    Do you need a reason to like
    someone? Do you? Don't you?
[07:02] Lu Mingfei
    Do you? Don't you?
[07:04] Lu Mingfei
    Who the hell knows?
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    It's just that one day,
    you have a crush on someone,
[07:08] Lu Mingfei
    and you're willing to stay with
    her and be bandits together.
[07:11] Lu Mingfei
    That's when you've fallen for her.
[07:15] Chu Zihang
    Can you elaborate?
[07:17] Chu Zihang
    For example, could zodiac compatibility
    cause you to like someone?
[07:20] Lu Mingfei
    Which ones?
[07:21] Chu Zihang
    Aquarius and Gemini.
[07:31] Lu Mingfei OS
    Could it be...
[07:33] Lu Mingfei OS
    The way she tilts her head,
[07:35] Lu Mingfei OS
    her hesitant expression,
[07:37] Lu Mingfei OS
    and the hidden meaning behind her words.
[07:39] Lu Mingfei OS
    Chu Zihang is the Gemini,
    but who's the Aquarius girl?
[07:44] Lu Mingfei
    Not great. They're both air signs.
[07:47] Lu Mingfei
    Geminis are too awkward and struggle
    to express their feelings.
[07:50] Lu Mingfei
    Astrology books say Aquarius girls are
    the type who are always around you,
[07:55] Lu Mingfei
    but you never know if they actually like you.
[07:59] Chu Zihang
    Not great?
[08:00] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Wait, you're serious.
[08:02] Chu Zihang
    Then...
[08:04] Chu Zihang
    How do you know if you actually like a girl?
[08:13] Lu Mingfei
    If someone's name is on your mind while
    you're asking me these questions,
[08:18] Lu Mingfei
    then you like her.
[08:27] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[08:29] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, you...
[08:31] Xia Mi
    Eh? Brother Lu, good afternoon.
[08:33] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, hey, I should be heading off.
[08:36] Lu Mingfei
    Xia Mi, what's your zodiac sign?
[08:37] Xia Mi
    Aquarius.
[08:40] Xia Mi
    Dinner's ready!
[08:41] Chu Zihang
    Thanks for making food for me every day.
[08:44] Xia Mi
    It's because you saved everyone.
[08:44] Lu Mingfei
    This isn't just mutual affection anymore.
[08:46] Chu Zihang
    But you also saved me.
[08:46] Xia Mi
    You saved me first, and then I saved you.
[08:46] Lu Mingfei
    This is pure, unwavering devotion!
[08:49] Xia Mi
    Look, I specially made
    snow fungus soup today.
[08:51] Chu Zihang
    That must be a lot of work.
[08:52] Xia Mi
    Not really. I had a lot of fun making it.
[08:57] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, she's a great girl.
[09:01] Lu Mingfei
    Seize the opportunity.
[09:07] Xia Mi
    Is it delicious?
[09:10] Chu Zihang
    You're a bit late today.
[09:12] Xia Mi
    Hey! Come on! I had classes this afternoon!
[09:14] Xia Mi
    I'm not your housekeeper.
[09:16] Xia Mi
    I made you soup because you were so heroic.
[09:19] Xia Mi
    Brother, you really don't hold back!
[09:23] Xia Mi
    How is it?
[09:24] Chu Zihang
    You should add some osmanthus sugar.
[09:27] Xia Mi
    Wow! Master, you're really demanding!
[09:31] Xia Mi
    What's osmanthus sugar?
[09:33] Chu Zihang
    Fresh osmanthus flowers, dried.
[09:35] Chu Zihang
    Take 100 grams and add two spoonfuls.
[09:37] Xia Mi
    It sounds like a real hassle,
[09:40] Xia Mi
    but it's the kind of thing
    someone like you would enjoy.
[09:42] Xia Mi
    Fine, next time I'll remember
    to add osmanthus sugar.
[09:45] Xia Mi
    I bought a lot of snow fungus,
    enough for lots of snow fungus soup.
[09:48] Chu Zihang
    I'm finished.
[09:50] Xia Mi
    Would it kill you to say thanks?
[09:52] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[09:54] Xia Mi
    Fine, whatever.
[10:00] Parsi
    Is it okay for us to just go straight
    into the College like this?
[10:02] Andrew
    What's there to fear?
[10:03] Andrew
    We're the investigation
    team of the school board.
[10:06] Andrew
    Anjou can't do anything to us.
[10:08] Andrew
    Is Chu Zihang's blood sample ready?
[10:10] Parsi
    Yes.
[10:12] Andrew
    I'll have champagne ready
    for you tomorrow, Anjou.
[10:24] Student A
    Are you the school board's
    investigation team?
[10:28] Andrew
    And what are you going to do about it?
[10:39] Students
    Welcome, investigation team!
    Welcome, welcome!
[10:42] Night Watchman
    Welcome, investigation team!
[10:45] Night Watchman
    Hello, I'm the vice-principal of the College.
[10:47] Night Watchman
    You can call me Night Watchman.
[10:49] Andrew
    I'm Andrew, head of the investigation team.
[10:52] Night Watchman
    Well then, let's begin our
    delightful tour of the College!
[11:18] Crowd
    Come on, cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
[11:21] Crowd
    Cheers!
[11:23] Crowd
    It's just like you said!
[11:30] Night Watchman
    Such a lightweight.
[11:33] Night Watchman
    Hey, someone take him back.
[11:36] Night Watchman
    We'll keep drinking!
[11:56] Xia Mi
    I actually fell asleep.
[11:59] Xia Mi
    I'm about to go crazy from advanced math.
[12:02] Xia Mi
    The advanced math classes at
    Cassel College are seriously insane.
[12:09] Xia Mi
    Brother, why are you spacing out?
[12:11] Chu Zihang
    I was thinking about something a friend said.
[12:13] Xia Mi
    Oh? What's got you so concerned, Master?
[12:18] Chu Zihang
    I was wondering, would you
    girls accept sudden feelings?
[12:23] Chu Zihang
    Like, if someone suddenly said
    they liked you, would it work?
[12:28] Xia Mi
    Not necessarily.
[12:30] Xia Mi
    But how would you know if a girl
    likes you if you don't try?
[12:32] Xia Mi
    Some people know each other
    for ages, but aren't close.
[12:35] Xia Mi
    Others feel a strong
    connection at first sight.
[12:39] Xia Mi
    You have to go with your gut feeling
    on this. Do you know what I mean?
[12:42] Chu Zihang
    But you once said that you wouldn't
    give people a chance easily.
[12:46] Xia Mi
    Well, lots of guys like me.
[12:47] Xia Mi
    I can't give everyone a chance.
[12:53] Chu Zihang
    I guess everyone will meet someone
    in their life and fall for them.
[13:00] Chu Zihang
    Some people meet at the right time,
[13:03] Chu Zihang
    like encountering blossoms in spring,
[13:06] Chu Zihang
    and everything will go smoothly.
[13:09] Chu Zihang
    They fall in love, get engaged,
[13:12] Chu Zihang
    get married,
[13:15] Chu Zihang
    and live together.
[13:17] Chu Zihang
    But others meet at the wrong time,
[13:19] Chu Zihang
    like seeing a fish surfacing
    through winter ice for air.
[13:24] Chu Zihang
    After breathing, the fish sinks
    back down, never to be seen again.
[13:30] Chu Zihang
    Nothing comes of it.
[13:33] Chu Zihang
    But can we say that encountering
    a flower in spring is right,
[13:36] Chu Zihang
    while encountering fish in winter is wrong?
[13:39] Chu Zihang
    If we meet someone at the wrong time,
[13:41] Chu Zihang
    can we simply suppress our feelings?
[13:43] Chu Zihang
    Wouldn't we still try our best to get close,
[13:48] Chu Zihang
    trying to conceal our true selves,
[13:51] Chu Zihang
    even pretending to be another fish?
[13:59] Chu Zihang OS
    I accidentally got sentimental.
[14:00] Chu Zihang OS
    How's this going to end?
[14:02] Chu Zihang
    I...
[14:04] Xia Mi
    Well said! If you had debuted
    a few years earlier,
[14:06] Xia Mi
    today's romance novelists
    would be out of work!
[14:09] Chu Zihang
    Huh?
[14:11] Xia Mi
    You know, if there's someone you like,
[14:14] Xia Mi
    you should tell her right away.
[14:16] Xia Mi
    Otherwise, she might slip away.
[14:17] Xia Mi
    Some things only count
    if you say them out loud.
[14:20] Xia Mi
    If you don't, you'll just keep guessing.
[14:23] Xia Mi
    And in the end, it all goes down the drain.
[14:27] Xia Mi
    But that's such a sneaky thing to say.
[14:28] Xia Mi
    No wonder you're such a
    stubborn Cancer, Brother.
[14:31] Chu Zihang
    I'm a Gemini, born on June 1st.
[14:34] Xia Mi
    But your rising sign is Cancer.
[14:37] Xia Mi
    You're a fake Gemini, a true Cancer.
[14:39] Xia Mi
    You think a lot, you're sensitive,
    and your thoughts run wild.
[14:42] Xia Mi
    You wait for him to speak, but he's still
    brewing even after you fall asleep.
[14:45] Xia Mi
    Plus, he's dead set on saving face.
[14:46] Xia Mi
    If he feels he's about to lose even a little
    bit of face, he'll swallow his words
[14:50] Xia Mi
    and bottle it up inside.
[14:51] Xia Mi
    Commonly known as a "stubborn Cancer."
[14:55] Chu Zihang
    How do you know my horoscope?
[14:59] Xia Mi
    Don't you think I know you really well?
[15:02] Xia Mi
    You're just forgetful!
[15:04] Xia Mi
    We used to be classmates.
[15:07] Xia Mi
    Classmates at Shilan Middle School!
[15:09] Xia Mi
    We went to the same junior high school,
[15:12] Xia Mi
    but I transferred!
[15:15] Chu Zihang
    Ah...
[15:17] Chu Zihang OS
    Why don't I remember?
[15:19] Chu Zihang OS
    Did I just not notice?
[15:22] Xia Mi
    All right, I'm off!
[15:26] Xia Mi
    When you see a fish surfacing
    through ice for air,
[15:28] Xia Mi
    if you wait there next winter,
[15:31] Xia Mi
    you'll see it coming up again.
[15:33] Xia Mi
    Next time you see it, bring an ice pick,
[15:36] Xia Mi
    break the ice, and take the
    fish home for fish soup!
[15:40] Xia Mi
    How's that follow-up?
[15:57] Finger
    Caesar has submitted an
    application to the College.
[16:00] Finger
    He wants to marry Nono.
[16:01] Shadow (Finger)
    Can you reject his application?
[16:03] Shadow (Finger)
    Find some excuse. You're quite
    good at making up excuses anyway.
[16:06] EVA
    I can offer some advice,
    but I can't directly reject it.
[16:10] EVA
    In other words, if his family
    approves this marriage,
[16:14] EVA
    no one can stop it.
[16:17] Shadow (Finger)
    That's a bit of a problem.
[16:19] EVA
    But since you asked,
[16:21] EVA
    I'll note my objection in the report.
[16:23] Shadow (Finger)
    Okay.
[16:25] EVA
    You've always hated meddling.
[16:27] EVA
    Why do you care so much about him?
[16:31] Shadow (Finger)
    I want to delay the marriage,
[16:34] Shadow (Finger)
    and give Lu Mingfei a chance.
[16:36] Shadow (Finger)
    At least there's still time to fight for it.
[16:38] Shadow (Finger)
    He's a weak child.
[16:41] Shadow (Finger)
    I just want to give that
    kid a glimmer of hope.
[16:45] Shadow (Finger)
    Chen Motong isn't his anything,
[16:47] Shadow (Finger)
    but she occupies a huge space in his heart.
[16:51] Shadow (Finger)
    Without her, there'll be a
    void that nothing can fill.
[17:01] EVA
    You've changed!
[17:03] EVA
    You never used to say things like this.
[17:09] EVA
    You were as proud as a beast.
[17:13] Finger
    After losing you,
    it's hard not to feel lonely.
[17:30] EVA
    Intruder detected.
[17:40] EVA
    The intruder has breached
    my defensive barrier.
[17:42] EVA
    He possesses the formidable power of a dragon!
[17:44] Finger
    A dragon?!
[17:45] Finger
    Where is the intruder now?
[17:46] EVA
    The target is advancing deeper
    into the Shikodi District.
[17:49] EVA
    I suspect he's heading for the
    Ice Cellar—the Well of Oblivion.
[17:52] Finger
    What a coincidence! I'll handle it.
[17:54] EVA
    I know you can use Yanling under
    the influence of Commandments,
[17:56] EVA
    but be very careful.
[17:58] EVA
    The intruder is powerful,
[17:59] EVA
    and forcefully using your
    Yanling will damage your bones.
[18:03] Finger
    All right, all right.
[18:05] Finger
    I'm not old enough to have osteoporosis yet,
[18:07] Finger
    and I'm taking calcium tablets
    daily, like you ordered!
[18:12] Finger
    Let's go.
[18:15] Finger
    Hey, Principal, a dragon has
    broken into the Ice Cellar!
[18:25] Lu Mingfei
    The principal suddenly called me
    here in the middle of the night.
[18:28] Lu Mingfei
    Something doesn't seem right.
[18:31] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe I should just leave.
[18:32] Anjou
    Mingfei, come in.
[18:36] Lu Mingfei
    Yes, coming in!
[18:39] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, what do you need me for?
[18:42] Lu Mingfei
    I'm about to...
[18:45] Lu Mingfei
    go...
[18:46] Lu Mingfei
    take care of Brother.
[18:48] Lu Mingfei
    You know he's badly injured
    and can't be left alone.
[18:50] Anjou
    I hear Xia Mi's been
    looking after him lately.
[18:53] Lu Mingfei
    I didn't realize you paid
    attention to gossip!
[18:55] Anjou
    Mingfei, do you remember the
    Ice Cellar I took you to last time?
[18:58] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah, the one below the botanical
    garden, where stuff is hidden.
[19:02] Anjou
    Now take the Seven Deadly Sins with you
    and go for a walk around the Ice Cellar.
[19:08] Lu Mingfei OS
    Take the Seven Deadly Sins?
[19:10] Lu Mingfei OS
    Damn, this can't be good!
[19:12] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, I just remembered I need
    to bring Brother a midnight snack!
[19:18] Anjou
    This is your new fieldwork assignment.
[19:20] Lu Mingfei
    Well, I'm a history student spending
    half the semester on fieldwork.
[19:25] Lu Mingfei
    I'm just here to work at
    Cassel College, right?
[19:27] Anjou
    I'll give you 10 extra credits.
[19:28] Lu Mingfei
    Deal! Is this school always this lax?
[19:31] Anjou
    You just need to take it into
    the Ice Cellar, find a tree,
[19:35] Anjou
    use it to reinforce the barrier,
    and bring it back intact.
[19:38] Anjou
    It's a simple mission.
[19:40] Lu Mingfei
    Use it? Is that even possible?
[19:43] Anjou
    The Seven Deadly Sins are
[19:44] Anjou
    seven blades forged by Dragon Emperor
    Norton himself to slay dragons.
[19:48] Anjou
    Powerful enough to kill a Dragon Emperor,
[19:50] Anjou
    they also naturally suppress the
    power of the dragon bloodline.
[19:54] Anjou
    Just place it in the center of the barrier,
[19:56] Anjou
    and it will activate.
[20:00] Lu Mingfei
    Principal, why don't you go yourself?
[20:03] Anjou
    I'm being watched, so I can't make a move.
[20:06] Anjou
    The Ice Cellar holds something
    extremely important!
[20:08] Anjou
    Mingfei, you're the only one who
    can complete this mission.
[20:14] Lu Mingfei
    Fine!
[20:26] Lu Mingfei
    It seems quite peaceful.
[20:29] Lu Mingfei
    While someone's enjoying the
    moonlight with a pretty girl,
[20:32] Lu Mingfei
    I have to risk my life in this damn place.
[20:36] Lu Mingfei
    Bronze walls...
[20:39] Lu Mingfei
    Hope a dragon won't suddenly appear.
[21:09] Lu Mingfei
    A tree?
[21:11] Lu Mingfei
    That should be it.
[21:12] Lu Mingfei
    Let's do this and get out.
[21:24] Boss Mai
    Amazing!
[21:26] Boss Mai
    Humans can push alchemy
    to such extremes, too.
[21:41] Boss Mai
    Old friend,
[21:43] Boss Mai
    we meet again.
[21:44] Boss Mai
    Since your brother Norton didn't consume you,
[21:47] Boss Mai
    let me consume all of you.
[21:52] Boss Mai
    Let me release your final shackles.
[21:57] Boss Mai
    Using this king's blood,
[21:58] Boss Mai
    now rewind.
[22:00] Boss Mai
    No words engraved on the stone.
[22:02] Boss Mai
    No souls resting beneath the earth.
[22:06] Boss Mai
    Open your eyes, Constantine!

[01:50] Boss Mai
    Old friend,
[01:52] Boss Mai
    we meet again.
[01:54] Boss Mai
    Since your brother Norton didn't consume you,
[01:56] Boss Mai
    let me consume all of you.
[02:01] Boss Mai
    Let me release your final shackles.
[02:06] Boss Mai
    Using this king's blood,
[02:07] Boss Mai
    now rewind.
[02:09] Boss Mai
    No words engraved on the stone.
[02:12] Boss Mai
    No souls resting beneath the earth.
[02:14] Boss Mai
    Open your eyes, Constantine!
[02:31] Boss Mai
    Constantine...
[02:34] Boss Mai
    So you really are dead.
[02:38] Boss Mai
    But...
[02:39] Boss Mai
    this is not a fitting end
    for a Dragon Emperor.
[02:45] Boss Mai
    Come, I'll take you away.
[02:59] Boss Mai
    A barrier.
[03:04] Boss Mai
    It seems I'll have to pay
    a higher price to get you.
[03:10] Lu Mingfei
    The box is vibrating?
[03:12] Lu Mingfei
    Could it be...
[03:13] Lu Mingfei
    There's a problem with the barrier?
[03:16] Lu Mingfei
    Go, go, go!
[03:19] Boss Mai
    Take the king's words as the order.
[03:22] Boss Mai
    Lightning, flash for your king.
[03:24] Boss Mai
    Lava, burn with your king.
[03:26] Boss Mai
    Light, air, and all elements,
[03:30] Boss Mai
    follow me, follow your king.
[03:33] Boss Mai
    Yanling: Heaven and Earth Furnace!
[03:35] Boss Mai
    Light, come forth!
[03:41] Boss Mai
    Thunder!
[03:48] Boss Mai
    Fire!
[03:53] Boss Mai
    Break!
[04:03] Boss Mai
    Breaking the barrier
[04:05] Boss Mai
    was harder than I thought.
[04:08] Boss Mai
    I'll take you away now,
[04:10] Boss Mai
    Constantine.
[04:18] Boss Mai
    Hey, delivery guy!
    You've got the wrong place.
[04:21] MFC
    If Boss Mai can come here,
[04:23] MFC
    then why can't Colonel MFC?
[04:25] MFC
    Want the dragon bones all to yourself?
[04:27] MFC
    If you want them, then I want them too!
[04:29] Parsi
    Everything in this College
    belongs to the school board,
[04:32] Parsi
    including the Dragon Bone Cross.
[04:34] Parsi
    None of you have the right to claim it.
[04:35] MFC
    Hey, I've seen your photo.
[04:38] MFC
    You're Mr. Parsi Gattuso, secretary
    of the investigation team, right?
[04:41] MFC
    Shouldn't you be drinking
    with Night Watchman?
[04:44] Parsi
    I can get drunk first.
[04:45] Parsi
    Oh, I see. With one more person,
    we could even play mahjong.
[04:51] MFC
    Hey, Boss Mai, your position is terrible.
[04:53] MFC
    Being so close to the dragon bones,
     we'll attack you first.
[04:57] Boss Mai
    Fine, come at me together!
[05:01] MFC
    Can you handle both of us?
[05:02] MFC
    You look so weak.
[05:04] MFC
    Breaking the barrier must
    have used up a lot of energy!
[05:07] Boss Mai
    That's right. I'm weak now.
[05:11] Boss Mai
    So what?
[05:13] MFC
    Ignore the laws of the torso,
[05:15] MFC
    and the cage that limits my strength
[05:15] Boss Mai
    You can actually use Yanling despite
    Night Watchman's suppression?
[05:17] MFC
    will be torn asunder.
[05:18] Boss Mai
    Impressive.
[05:19] MFC
    Violence will become my fist.
[05:27] Boss Mai
    Back to you!
[06:05] MFC
    I'm using the body of a dragon now.
[06:08] MFC
    Your mosquito-like fists can't hurt me.
[06:12] Boss Mai
    Really?
[06:14] Boss Mai
    Rise!
[06:15] Boss Mai
    I have the body of a dragon, too!
[06:39] Boss Mai
    What's wrong?
[06:41] Boss Mai
    Is that all you've got?
[06:43] Boss Mai
    You pathetic hybrid.
[06:46] MFC
    Your strength is decent,
[06:48] MFC
    but your body...
[06:51] MFC
    is clearly weakened.
[06:54] MFC
    So weak...
[06:55] MFC
    that you can only use physical attacks.
[06:57] MFC
    Mr. Secretary, stop spacing out!
[06:59] MFC
    Make a move!
[07:01] Parsi
    I've been ready for ages.
[07:04] Parsi
    A bullet carved from the Philosopher's Stone.
[07:06] Parsi
    Even Dragon Emperors and their descendants,
[07:08] Parsi
    who control the laws of the four elements,
    cannot control the spirit element.
[07:12] Parsi
    Thus, it is invincible.
[07:15] Parsi
    It can pierce through anything!
[07:20] Parsi
    Got him!
[07:23] Lu Mingfei
    Eh? I've been hearing non-stop
    banging noises from over there.
[07:26] Lu Mingfei
    Could something be happening?
[07:28] Lu Mingfei
    Forget it. Quickly reinforce the barrier,
    finish the mission, and get outta here.
[07:35] Boss Mai
    The supposed unstoppable penetration
    ability of a Philosopher's Stone bullet
[07:38] Boss Mai
    only works on living things.
[07:40] Boss Mai
    If it hits something lifeless like metal,
[07:43] Boss Mai
    it will shatter.
[07:45] Boss Mai
    You picked the wrong target!
[07:48] Parsi
    Extracting the iron from your blood
    to block the Philosopher's Stone...
[07:52] Parsi
    This... is an unknown Yanling!
[07:54] Boss Mai
    Coagulate, transform...
[07:58] Boss Mai
    Scythe!
[07:59] MFC
    What? Iron from your blood
    can become a weapon!
[08:02] MFC
    Your Yanling is outrageous!
[08:23] Boss Mai
    Get lost!
    I have no time to play with you.
[08:28] Boss Mai
    You, too. Blade!
[08:33] Boss Mai
    The dragon bones come first.
[08:40] Boss Mai
    Nice blade.
    An Augustus hunting knife, correct?
[08:44] Boss Mai
    Axe.
[08:50] Boss Mai
    Compared to the Augustus,
[08:52] Boss Mai
    your flintlock is even more troublesome!
[08:59] Boss Mai
    Get lost!
[09:05] Boss Mai
    Again and again, it never ends.
[09:07] Boss Mai
    Meteor,
[09:09] Boss Mai
    hammer!
[09:19] Lu Mingfei
    Colonel MFC?
[09:20] MFC
    Lu Mingfei?
[09:22] MFC
    Why are you here?
[09:23] MFC
    Why did the principal send you down?
[09:26] Lu Mingfei OS
    How does he know me?
[09:28] Lu Mingfei OS
    That voice sounds so
    familiar, it sounds like...
[09:31] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Colonel MFC, if you're on our side,
[09:34] Lu Mingfei
    could you take your fight
    somewhere else, away from me?
[09:36] Lu Mingfei
    I'll need at least five
    minutes to reach the barrier.
[09:39] MFC
    The Seven Deadly Sins...
[09:41] MFC
    I see.
[09:44] MFC
    Three minutes, only three minutes.
[09:46] MFC
    I'll get you three minutes.
[09:51] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, three minutes then.
[09:55] MFC
    Hey, you two! Hold on a second!
[09:59] MFC
    Wait, wait, wait!
[10:01] Parsi
    What are you doing?
[10:02] MFC
    Shut up. I've got this.
[10:04] MFC
    Hey, Boss Mai, here's the thing:
[10:06] MFC
    If we keep on fighting, it's not
    good for either of us, right?
[10:10] Boss Mai
    Not good?
[10:11] MFC
    You're weak as hell right now.
[10:13] MFC
    You can't take us out in one go,
[10:15] MFC
    but your intrusion has
    already alerted the College.
[10:17] MFC
    The principal and others will be here soon.
[10:19] MFC
    Even if you get the dragon bones,
[10:21] MFC
    you won't escape unscathed, right?
[10:23] Boss Mai
    So?
[10:25] MFC
    As for the two of us, we definitely
    can't defeat you right now.
[10:29] MFC
    We'll probably be beaten,
[10:31] MFC
    but if we save our strength,
    there's still hope.
[10:33] MFC
    So I suggest that we take
    a four-minute break.
[10:36] MFC
    You recover for a bit,
    and we build up our strength.
[10:39] MFC
    Then, we'll go all out with a final strike,
[10:41] MFC
    and let fate decide the outcome.
[10:42] MFC
    It's better than dragging this out.
    What do you think?
[10:45] Boss Mai
    One minute.
[10:46] MFC
    Hey, you...
[10:48] Boss Mai
    Fifty-nine seconds.
[10:48] MFC
    Fine... Let's start.
[10:52] Parsi
    What on earth are you doing?
[10:53] MFC
    Come here, and don't look back.
[10:56] MFC
    Over at the barrier, our guy is
    sneaking up on the dragon bones.
[10:59] MFC
    In about three minutes,
    he'll restore the barrier,
[11:03] MFC
    and then Boss Mai won't be
    able to get the dragon bones.
[11:06] Parsi
    So that's why you're stalling for time.
[11:09] MFC
    Yes.
[11:10] MFC
    We need to stall for three minutes,
[11:12] MFC
    and can't let him get near the dragon bones.
[11:13] MFC
    By the way, you still haven't
    used your ultimate move, right?
[11:18] Parsi
    Right.
[11:19] MFC
    What a coincidence. Neither have I.
[11:22] Parsi
    Stay away from me, everything that I can see.
[11:25] Parsi
    Yanling: Purified Land, Vacuum Barrier!
[11:30] Boss Mai
    Another one who can use Yanling despite
    Night Watchman's suppression.
[11:37] Boss Mai
    By enveloping the hunting knife
    with Vacuum Barrier,
[11:40] Boss Mai
    everything it touches will be
    obliterated by a vacuum. Not bad!
[11:47] MFC
    Dragon Body, full power!
[12:01] Lu Mingfei
    Looks like they can't stall for much longer.
[12:02] Lu Mingfei
    There's not enough time!
[12:05] Lu Mingfei
    Seems like the only way to make it in time is
     to take a shortcut and jump over this casm.
[12:15] Boss Mai
    Go, Ten Weapons of War!
[12:20] Boss Mai
    Giant Blade, Rock Shovel!
[12:22] MFC
    Don't be in a rush to kill. I'm still here.
[12:25] MFC
    The most troublesome part of my
    ultimate move is the charging time,
[12:29] MFC
    but the longer it charges,
    the stronger it gets!
[12:34] MFC
    Take this punch!
[12:38] Lu Mingfei
    I-Isn't this battle getting
    a bit over the top?
[12:42] Lu Mingfei
    Also, can I...
[12:46] Lu Mingfei
    Can I jump over this chasm?
[12:52] Lu Mingfei
    You can, you can! Lu Mingfei, you can!
[12:54] Lu Mingfei
    You can, you can, you can!
[12:56] Lu Mingfei
    Lu Mingfei, you definitely can!
[13:09] MFC
    Lu Mingfei? Damn, did he just...
[13:11] Boss Mai
    Is someone over there?
[13:12] Boss Mai
    I thought I heard a scream.
[13:15] MFC
    Hey, don't worry about that for now.
[13:18] MFC
    You're completely unharmed?
[13:20] MFC
    An ordinary dragon wouldn't
    survive that punch. Are you...
[13:22] Boss Mai
    Take your time to guess.
[13:26] MFC
    What are you making now?
[13:28] Boss Mai
    Spinning, Curved Blades.
[13:31] MFC
    Mr. Secretary, are you okay?
[13:33] Parsi
    I'm fine, but my hand and leg are injured.
[13:36] Parsi
    It'll be harder to fight from now on.
[13:38] Boss Mai
    Sorry, you two.
[13:39] Boss Mai
    I don't have time to keep fighting with you.
[13:43] MFC
    Boss Mai, your aim's off!
[13:45] MFC
    You won't hit us by flying around like that!
[13:47] Parsi
    He's targeting those drain pipes.
[13:49] MFC
    What do you mean?
[13:50] Parsi
    Above the Ice Cellar is the botanical
    garden, and beyond that is the ocean.
[13:54] Parsi
    These drain pipes divert seawater
[13:56] Parsi
    so that the pressure doesn't
    damage the Ice Cellar.
[13:58] Parsi
    By damaging the drainage system,
[13:59] Parsi
    he intends to flood this place.
[14:03] MFC
    But wouldn't he drown himself?
[14:05] Parsi
    Since he got in via the sea,
[14:06] Parsi
    he's not afraid of seawater.
[14:07] Parsi
    But once this place floods,
[14:09] Parsi
    people from the College can't enter quickly.
[14:12] Parsi
    He can take his time
    retrieving the dragon bones.
[14:14] Parsi
    And he won't need to fight us anymore,
[14:17] Parsi
    because we'd drown immediately.
[14:28] Lu Mingfei
    Darts?
[14:30] Lu Mingfei
    This place is being flooded?
[14:32] Lu Mingfei
    I'd better...
[14:36] Lu Mingfei
    I'm made it.
[14:37] Lu Mingfei
    Get to the center of the barrier.
[14:52] Lu Mingfei
    Bones of a child?
[14:55] Lu Mingfei
    Dragon wings?
[15:08] Lu Mingfei
    It's...
[15:10] Lu Mingfei
    your little brother.
[15:14] Lu Mingfei
    The Seven Deadly Sins are reacting.
[15:19] Lu Mingfei
    Put it down.
[15:24] Lu Mingfei
    How come nothing's happening?
[15:27] Lu Mingfei
    The barrier emblem?
[15:28] (Flashback) Anjou
    This emblem protects the
    barrier's central point.
[15:31] (Flashback) Anjou
    It's usually used in places
    supported by trees.
[15:34] (Flashback) Anjou
    This barrier requires geothermal energy.
[15:36] (Flashback) Anjou
    Two or more tree roots
    or trunks are typically used
[15:39] (Flashback) Anjou
    to channel the heat and maintain the barrier.
[15:43] Lu Mingfei
    The barrier isn't glowing,
[15:45] Lu Mingfei
    which means that it's lacking energy.
[15:47] Lu Mingfei
    Tree trunk...
[15:50] Lu Mingfei
    It's this one, right?
[15:51] Lu Mingfei
    It's broken on the ground.
[15:53] Lu Mingfei
    All right, attach it.
[15:55] Lu Mingfei
    Restore the barrier, mission completed.
[16:01] Lu Mingfei
    No reaction?
[16:04] Lu Mingfei
    There must be a way.
[16:13] Boss Mai
    The barrier?
[16:15] Boss Mai
    Another fly.
[16:18] Boss Mai
    Get lost.
[16:24] Lu Mingfei
    Eh? Boss Mai?
[16:27] Lu Mingfei
    Dragon claw? Damn, it's an enemy!
[16:30] Lu Mingfei
    Hurry up!
[16:31] Lu Mingfei
    Almost there!
[16:51] Boss Mai
    Bastard!
[16:55] Lu Mingfei
    It worked.
[16:56] Boss Mai
    It worked?
[16:59] Boss Mai
    I've already broken this barrier once.
[17:02] Boss Mai
    It's a pain, but I'll just do it again.
[17:07] Lu Mingfei
    S-Stay away! Don't come over here!
[17:09] MFC
    Lu Mingfei!
[17:11] MFC
    Lu Mingfei!
[17:12] MFC
    Use the Seven Deadly Sins
    to reinforce the barrier!
[17:16] MFC
    You can do it!
[17:17] MFC
    Only you can do it!
[17:19] MFC
    Hurry!
[17:22] Boss Mai
    Lu Mingfei!
[17:26] Lu Mingfei
    Seven Deadly Sins!
[17:27] Lu Mingfei
    Protect this place!
[18:15] Boss Mai
    All right.
[18:16] Boss Mai
    Lu Mingfei, you're impressive.
[18:19] Boss Mai
    I can't break a barrier protected
    by the Seven Deadly Sins,
[18:23] Boss Mai
    but then no one can have the dragon bones.
[18:28] MFC
    Huh? He's gone?
[18:29] MFC
    He just dropped a threat and left? You...
[18:32] MFC
    Hey, Mr. Secretary, how did
    you destroy these weapons?
[18:35] MFC
    I can't even break them.
[18:36] Parsi
    Stay away from me, everything that I can see.
[18:38] Parsi
    Yanling: Purified Land!
[18:40] MFC
    Wow, your Yanling sure is handy.
[18:43] MFC
    Why didn't you use it earlier?
[18:45] Parsi
    With Night Watchman's suppression in effect,
    I can't use Yanling a lot.
[18:51] MFC
    That guy smashed the ceiling!
[18:52] Parsi
    He's trying to drown us.
[18:54] Parsi
    The water level is rising quickly.
    Let's leave.
[18:56] MFC
    But he's still over there.
[18:57] Parsi
    He's protected by the barrier. He won't die.
[18:59] Parsi
    I'll come back with
    diving gear to rescue him.
[19:02] MFC
    Hey... Fine.
[19:03] MFC
    Hey, Brother, hang in there!
[19:05] MFC
    We'll be back!
[19:09] Lu Mingfei
    Help! Seven Deadly Sins, do something!
[19:13] Lu Mingfei
    Help!
[19:14] Lu Mingfei
    Help!
[19:23] MFC
    Whoa, this place also flooded!
[19:26] Parsi
    Up there.
[19:27] Parsi
    He smashed through the ceiling.
[19:28] Parsi
    The seawater will flood
    every section soon.
[19:31] Parsi
    Not only that, but the influx of seawater
    will short-circuit the equipment,
[19:36] Parsi
    triggering a chain of explosions.
[19:39] MFC
    Hey, are you a psychic?
[19:42] Parsi
    This place is about to collapse.
[19:43] MFC
    Then what do we do?
[19:44] Parsi
    The emergency elevator. I know where it is.
[19:50] MFC
    Hey, this elevator requires
    special access. We...
[19:57] MFC
    The College's highest-level white card?
[19:59] MFC
    How did you get that?
[20:01] Parsi
    We're not close enough to
    share private information yet.
[20:04] MFC
    Yeah, never thought our first
    meeting would be like this.
[20:08] MFC
    We should've had a proper chat.
[20:09] Parsi
    When I met you, monster,
[20:11] Parsi
    it felt like seeing my own kind.
[20:13] MFC
    Yeah! I almost wanted to
    exchange business cards.
[20:15] Parsi
    The elevator's here.
[20:16] MFC
    Oh, thank goodness! I'm finally safe.
[20:28] Parsi
    Get in!
[20:34] MFC
    Hey... I noticed you hesitated just now.
[20:37] Parsi
    Letting a monster like you live might mean
    you'll be the one to kill me someday.
[20:43] MFC
    Why did the elevator stop?
[20:46] MFC
    No way!
[20:48] MFC
    This really is the end!
[20:50] Parsi
    Yanling: Purified Land, Vacuum Barrier!
[20:54] MFC
    Oh! Awesome!
[20:57] MFC
    Wait, these explosive flames keep rising.
[21:01] MFC
    If this continues, the College will be...
[21:18] Lu Mingfei
    Looks like I won't die for a while.
[21:25] Lu Mingfei
    Finger should be in the
    cafeteria by now, right?
[21:28] Lu Mingfei
    Probably using my meal card
    for a late-night snack!
[21:33] Lu Mingfei
    I wonder if Brother's injuries have healed.
[21:38] Lu Mingfei
    Xia Mi should be keeping him company.
[21:43] Lu Mingfei
    And Lu Mingze...
[21:46] Lu Mingfei
    Everyone...
[21:49] Lu Mingfei
    should be okay.
[21:52] Lu Mingfei
    If I perish here,
[21:54] Lu Mingfei
    will they remember the
    times we shared together?
[21:59] Lu Mingfei
    Will they lay flowers on my grave?
[22:03] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[22:06] Lu Mingfei
    hate being alone.

    Episode 15
[01:43] Lu Mingfei
    The barrier...
[01:45] Lu Mingfei
    It looks like it
    won't hold much longer.
[01:49] Lu Mingfei
    I never thought...
[01:51] Lu Mingfei
    that I'd end up dying beside Constantine.
[02:06] Lu Mingfei
    Principal?
[02:08] Anjou
    Mingfei, thanks for your hard work.
[02:10] Anjou
    Pick up the Seven Deadly Sins,
    and let's get out of here.
[02:17] Lu Mingfei
    I'm finally back to the College, safe and sound.
[02:19] Anjou
    I've notified the academic affairs committee
    about the credits I promised you.
[02:23] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks, Principal!
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    Your phone...
[02:28] Anjou
    Go back and have a rest.
[02:30] Lu Mingfei
    Okay. Bye, Principal.
[02:36] Anjou
    What happened?
[02:38] Night Watchman
    Chu Zihang was just taken away
    by the investigation team.
[02:40] Night Watchman
    They're holding a College
    hearing immediately.
[02:43] Night Watchman
    It's likely about you.
[02:45] Anjou
    I'm staying away.
[02:46] Anjou
    You handle the hearing.
[02:48] Night Watchman
    No problem.
[02:50] Medic (Female)
    I'll give you an injection straight away.
[02:51] Medic (Female)
    Go check over there.
    There should be more casualties.
[02:54] Medic (Female)
    I'll be right there.
[02:55] Lu Mingfei
    What's going on?
[02:55] Medic (Female)
    Your arm's broken. Don't move.
[02:57] Medic (Female)
    I'll set it for you.
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    Has the College been attacked?
[03:06] Lu Mingfei
    I wonder how Finger is doing.
[03:08] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, Finger...
[03:09] Finger
    Where have you been?
    You didn't answer my calls.
[03:11] Lu Mingfei
    I...
[03:12] Finger
    Come to Valhalla quickly.
[03:13] Finger
    Chu Zihang's hearing before the
     school board is about to start.
[03:17] Lu Mingfei
    Brother's hearing?
[03:19] Lu Mingfei
    I'll be right there!
[03:39] Blair Bitner
    Student representatives may now enter.
[04:05] Finger
    The student union and Lionheart Society
    are still at each other's throats.
[04:13] Lu Mingfei
    The Lionheart Society and the
    student union are sitting on opposite sides.
[04:16] Lu Mingfei
    Even though I'm in the student union,
[04:18] Lu Mingfei
    I'm still on Brother's side.
[04:20] Xia Mi
    Lu Mingfei!
[04:22] Xia Mi
    Over here, over here!
[04:23] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, coming!
[04:27] Lu Mingfei
    You brought lilies for Brother?
[04:30] Xia Mi
    Yep.
[05:07] Nono
    Hey.
[05:10] Nono
    Move over. Let me sit there.
[05:12] Lu Mingfei
    Sure.
[05:13] Classmate (F)
    What's happening? Isn't she Caesar's girlfriend,
    the president of the student union?
[05:18] Classmate (F)
    She won't join the Lionheart Society, right?
[05:20] Classmate (F)
    She's not wearing the correct clothes, either.
[05:22] Classmates
    Did she have a fight with Caesar?
[05:24] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you here?
[05:26] Nono
    Should I not be?
[05:27] Lu Mingfei
    The seats are assigned.
[05:29] Lu Mingfei
    Caesar's over there.
[05:30] Nono
    I know.
[05:31] Nono
    Can't I like red?
    Aren't you sitting here, too?
[05:34] Blair Bitner
    Silence!
[05:36] Blair Bitner
    I hereby declare this
    hearing officially open.
[05:40] Blair Bitner
    Due to discrepancies between the
    school board's investigative team
[05:45] Blair Bitner
    and the College administration regarding the
    bloodline of A-ranked student Chu Zihang,
[05:50] Blair Bitner
    we have no choice but to hold this hearing
[05:53] Blair Bitner
    to provide an forum
    for open discussion.
[05:56] Blair Bitner
    The purpose of this hearing
    is to decide whether or not
[06:00] Blair Bitner
    the school has made a
    critical error in its assessment,
[06:04] Blair Bitner
    and allowed a dangerous
    bloodline into the College.
[06:07] Blair Bitner
    Mr. Andrew, you may begin.
[06:10] Andrew
    Thank you for your opening
    remarks, Mr. Blair.
[06:13] Andrew
    I shall now question some
    of the parties involved.
[06:18] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? Is he looking at me?
[06:21] Lu Mingfei
    No way. No one told me
     I'd be called as a witness.
[06:24] Andrew
    Mr. Lu Mingfei, it is my understanding
[06:27] Andrew
    that you recently completed a mission
    with Chu Zihang in Xinguo, right?
[06:32] Lu Mingfei
    Um, yes.
[06:34] Andrew
    Then you should know Chu Zihang very well.
[06:36] Andrew
    What do you think of him?
[06:40] Lu Mingfei
    Um, he...
[06:42] Andrew
    Be honest.
[06:44] Andrew
    Don't worry.
[06:45] Lu Mingfei
    Sure. Brother is...
[06:49] Lu Mingfei
    super awesome!
[06:54] Andrew
    Earlier I submitted a mission report to the
     hearing, which you signed and approved.
[06:58] Andrew
    According to your report,
[07:00] Andrew
    the mission proceeded smoothly
    and was successful.
[07:03] Andrew
    Is that true?
[07:05] Lu Mingfei OS
    Oh, I see. Trying to catch me out?
[07:09] Lu Mingfei OS
    Huh. Watch me put you in your place.
[07:11] Andrew
    Lu Mingfei, think before you answer.
[07:15] Andrew
    You should know the consequences of perjury.
[07:18] Lu Mingfei
    Perjury? No way! The mission went smoothly.
[07:22] Lu Mingfei
    Didn't we retrieve what
    the school board wanted?
[07:25] Lu Mingfei
    Is there a problem with it?
[07:27] Andrew OS
    Didn't they say he's a coward? What's...
[07:31] Andrew
    Smoothly?
[07:32] Andrew
    In reality, that mission was
    entirely led by Chu Zihang.
[07:35] Andrew
    You weren't involved at all.
[07:37] Andrew
    That report was also written by Chu Zihang.
[07:39] Andrew
    All you did was sign your name!
[07:40] Andrew
    He's a lone wolf like that.
[07:42] Andrew
    He doesn't work with anyone!
[07:43] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, can't I just call the shots?
[07:45] Lu Mingfei
    Can't I come up with the plan
    and assign tasks to my deputy?
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    No rule says that the specialist must
    personally carry out the mission.
[07:51] Lu Mingfei
    If I get the job done,
    why do you care how I do it?
[07:55] Andrew
    Did you hear that, everyone?
[07:56] Andrew
    This young specialist is 19 years old,
[07:59] Andrew
    has no experience in the field,
    and even failed two specialist courses.
[08:02] Andrew
    Yet, he claims he can
    remotely direct Chu Zihang
[08:05] Andrew
    to complete an SS-rank mission.
[08:06] Andrew
    The most laughable part is
    that the execution bureau
[08:10] Andrew
    accepted this report without a second thought
[08:12] Andrew
    and filed it away immediately.
[08:14] Andrew
    A blatant cover-up and conspiracy!
[08:16] Andrew
    And this is the College under
    Principal Anjou's leadership!
[08:19] Lu Mingfei
    But I'm an S-rank. S-rank, you know?
[08:23] Lu Mingfei
    I'm a genius.
[08:24] Lu Mingfei
    I was the specialist in
    charge of that mission.
[08:26] Lu Mingfei
    I outrank Chu Zihang, so why
    wouldn't he listen to me?
[08:29] Lu Mingfei
    Don't analyze a genius
    with your average brain!
[08:32] Lu Mingfei
    If someone needs to take responsibility,
    then I will. I signed, so it's on me.
[08:35] Lu Mingfei
    Why are you so focused on
    that errand boy Chu Zihang?
[08:38] Andrew
    You... Who can verify your claims?
[08:40] Nono
    I can.
[08:42] Nono
    I've worked with him before.
[08:43] Nono
    Lu Mingfei is exactly like that.
[08:44] Nono
    S-rank, outstanding bloodline, very capable.
[08:47] Nono
    He gives orders, calls the shots,
    and we execute them.
[08:50] Nono
    He's bossy, and his word is law.
[08:58] Finger
    That's right! Lu Mingfei is so bossy!
[09:02] Classmates
    Yeah! Well said!
[09:04] Classmates
    Nono! Lu Mingfei!
[09:09] Andrew
    Fine! You forced my hand!
[09:12] Andrew
    Parsi! Bring it over.
[09:15] Andrew
    Now I'm going to present evidence to the
    jury that absolutely cannot be refuted!
[09:24] Andrew
    Chu Zihang's blood sample!
[09:26] Night Watchman
    What?
[09:27] Finger
    Crap.
[09:30] Parsi
    I used this vacuum tube to draw
    blood directly from Chu Zihang,
[09:34] Parsi
    and immediately sealed it
    with a tamper-proof seal.
[09:37] Parsi
    Chu Zihang, is that right?
[09:38] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[09:39] Parsi
    Now, this is blood sample B,
[09:42] Parsi
    pure human blood that
    I took from the blood bank.
[09:45] Parsi
    Its origin can be fully traced.
[09:47] Parsi
    We will now mix a portion of
    each sample together.
[09:56] Classmates
    A-An explosion! Chu Zihang's blood...
[10:02] Classmate (F)
    I would never have thought...
[10:04] Classmate (M)
    Chu Zihang was right next
    to us. What if he...
[10:07] Night Watchman
    How did Chu Zihang's blood sample get leaked?
[10:09] Finger
    No idea.
[10:11] Professor A
    This experiment can't be faked.
[10:13] Professor A
    That blood has been refined through
    the Blood Rage technique,
[10:16] Professor A
    so it's highly unstable.
[10:18] Jean Grosse
    Dangerous blood is flowing through
    Chu Zihang's entire body.
[10:21] Jean Grosse
    H-He could transform into a
    Death Servitor at any moment.
[10:27] Andrew
    As everyone can see, this is the truth.
[10:30] Andrew
    Despite this, Anjou actually
    protected such a dangerous student.
[10:34] Xia Mi
    Who can prove that the
    blood came from Chu Zihang?
[10:36] Xia Mi
    No one saw the blood being drawn, right?
[10:39] Xia Mi
    Maybe you put something in there.
[10:41] Xia Mi
    If it's the truth, why didn't
    you draw the blood right there?
[10:45] Andrew
    Uh... Because... he's had a blood transfusion.
[10:48] Andrew
    The human body needs a month
    to regenerate all of its blood cells.
[10:51] Andrew
    By treating him like a critically ill patient
[10:53] Andrew
    and completely flushing his blood,
[10:55] Andrew
    you can get rid of the evidence!
[10:56] Xia Mi
    Blood transfusion?
[10:59] Xia Mi
    If all the blood in his body is like this,
[11:01] Xia Mi
    wouldn't it explode upon contact with
    normal blood during the procedure?
[11:05] Xia Mi
    Then how can he be sitting here?
[11:07] Andrew
    Uh... He... He...
[11:10] Classmate (F)
    Yeah, yeah! What's up with that?
[11:12] Classmate (F)
    Maybe... the evidence...
[11:13] Xia Mi
    You can't answer that?
[11:15] Xia Mi
    Then your evidence is invalid!
[11:17] Classmates
    That's right! Invalid!
[11:19] Classmates
    Fake evidence! Fake!
[11:22] Classmates
    Xia Mi's right!
[11:22] Andrew
    I'm not sure who did the blood transfusion,
[11:25] Andrew
    but don't worry!
[11:26] Andrew
    Besides the blood sample,
    we have new evidence!
[11:29] Andrew
    A witness!
[11:33] Classmates
    Caesar?
[11:35] Finger OS
    The student union is the
    Lionheart Society's sworn enemy.
[11:38] Finger OS
    Caesar will probably undermine Chu Zihang.
[11:40] Finger OS
    Although we can't influence or bribe Caesar,
[11:43] Finger OS
    I doubt the Gattuso family could, either.
[11:47] Andrew
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso,
    president of the student union,
[11:50] Andrew
    what's your view on this?
[11:52] Andrew
    Is Chu Zihang truly the disciplined,
    rule-abiding person
[11:54] Andrew
    the school makes him out to be?
[11:57] Andrew
    Or can you prove
[11:59] Andrew
    that he's actually a potential dragon?
[12:10] Andrew OS
    After the purge of the Lionheart Society,
[12:12] Andrew OS
    the student union will become the
    largest organization in the College.
[12:16] Andrew OS
    With your Gattuso bloodline, in the future,
[12:19] Andrew OS
    you'll be the leader of the Secret Party.
[12:22] Andrew OS
    Caesar, I believe you will
    make the right choice.
[12:26] Caesar
    Ladies and gentlemen,
[12:28] Caesar
    honorable investigators,
[12:30] Caesar
    and esteemed members of the jury...
[12:32] Caesar
    First of all, I swear by the name of Gattuso
[12:36] Caesar
    that everything I say here is the truth.
[12:38] Caesar
    Regarding Chu Zihang...
[12:41] Caesar
    He... is an outstanding
    student at our school.
[12:44] Andrew
    Huh?
[12:45] Caesar
    He is a good classmate to all of us.
[12:47] Caesar
    We are deeply drawn to his charisma.
[12:50] Caesar
    He is refined, gentle, and knowledgeable,
[12:53] Caesar
    an embodiment of all virtues.
[12:56] Caesar
    Not only has he never been violent,
[12:58] Caesar
    but he is always helpful.
[13:00] Caesar
    Even when facing enemies,
    he always maintains restraint.
[13:03] Caesar
    Even as his rival, I can still feel warmth
    and positive energy coming from him.
[13:08] Caesar
    We have many mutual friends.
[13:10] Caesar
    As you can see,
[13:12] Caesar
    my girlfriend is already wearing
    the Lionheart Society's crimson uniform
[13:15] Caesar
    and sitting on this side.
[13:16] Caesar
    This is also the stance of the student union.
[13:21] Caesar
    Over the past few years,
[13:23] Caesar
    Chu Zihang has made tremendous
    contributions to the College.
[13:26] Andrew
    What's happening?
[13:26] Caesar
    He has always successfully completed
    every mission assigned to him.
[13:28] Andrew
    Didn't he swear on his family name?
[13:30] Caesar
    Furthermore, he consistently
    helps his peers grow together,
[13:30] Andrew
    How can he tell such a blatant lie?
[13:33] Parsi
    Caesar doesn't care about his family name,
[13:33] Caesar
    leading the Lionheart Society to
    achieve one miracle after another.
[13:35] Parsi
    nor his family for that matter.
[13:37] Parsi
    If I'd known you were going
    to ask him to testify,
[13:37] Caesar
    He is a role model for everyone
    and my most respected rival.
[13:40] Parsi
    I would've advised against it.
[13:41] Caesar
    Everything I have said reflects the
    consensus of every student at Cassell College.
[13:44] Lu Mingfei
    As expected, the boss
    saves the best for last.
[13:46] Caesar
    This is an irrefutable fact.
[13:51] Blair Bitner
    Mr. Andrew, all your allegations against
    Chu Zihang are hereby dismissed.
[13:57] Blair Bitner
    The students who know him best
[13:59] Blair Bitner
    have also testified that he does not have
    the tendencies the investigation team claims.
[14:04] Blair Bitner
    Therefore, it seems this
    hearing can conclude.
[14:11] Caesar
    What did I just hear?
[14:13] Caesar
    Our esteemed Mr. Blair Bitner
    just said that...
[14:17] Caesar
    I suppose there's no need to say the rest.
[14:24] Classmates
    Wow! We won! We succeeded!
[14:37] Classmate (M)
    Oh, no! Oh, no!
[14:40] Classmate (M)
    That website has placed a new bounty!
[14:42] Classmate (M)
    A dragon named Fenrir is about to
    awaken in the capital of Xinguo.
[14:45] Classmate (M)
    They're recruiting Hunters to slay him,
[14:48] Classmate (M)
    with a bounty of 100,000,000!
[14:53] Blair Bitner
    The Emperor hasn't even awakened yet,
[14:55] Blair Bitner
    and he's already issued a
    pronouncement to the world,
[14:59] Blair Bitner
    asking who will slay him?
[15:01] Classmate (M)
    Someone actually posted a message
    like that on the website?
[15:04] Professor B
    Hunters won't be able to handle that guy.
[15:06] Professor B
    The poster probably expects
    Cassel College to take the job.
[15:12] Chu Zihang
    Everyone.
[15:16] Chu Zihang
    I want to prove myself through action.
[15:18] Chu Zihang
    Under these circumstances, the College will
    inevitably dispatch a specialist to Xinguo.
[15:22] Chu Zihang
    I've carried out a mission
    with Lu Mingfei there before.
[15:25] Chu Zihang
    This time, I request to
    go there again with him.
[15:29] Chu Zihang
    My actions will prove my loyalty.
[15:35] Finger OS
    M-Me? Why me?
[15:38] Finger
    Why would I go on a mission
    with this crazy team? No way!
[15:41] Night Watchman
    As the one and only G-rank, did you
    think graduating would be that easy?
[15:50] Finger
    Threatening me again...
[15:52] Anjou
    Well, may I continue?
[15:55] Anjou
    The three of you here today are
    the true elites of this college.
[15:58] Anjou
    I am deeply honored to inform you
[16:00] Anjou
    that you will be dispatched to
    Xinguo as trainee specialists.
[16:04] Lu Mingfei OS
    Whoa, such a dangerous mission...
    It won't just be the three of us, right?
[16:09] Webber
    The announcement of the
    Dragon Emperor's awakening
[16:11] Webber
    is the greatest crisis
    in the College's history.
[16:14] Webber
    The execution bureau has
    mobilized its entire force.
[16:16] Webber
    Two student teams have also been dispatched,
[16:19] Webber
    the other team being Caesar Gattuso,
    Chen Motong, and Xia Mi.
[16:24] Finger
    Huh? W-Wait, Principal!
[16:26] Finger
    The other team has two aces
    and the king of new students,
[16:29] Finger
    yet our team has just
    one brute and two losers?
[16:32] Anjou
    It wasn't my decision to send Caesar,
[16:34] Anjou
    it was the school board's.
[16:36] Anjou
    Chu Zihang's bloodline remains questionable,
[16:38] Anjou
    so the board insisted on
    sending one more team.
[16:40] Anjou
    Caesar chose Chen Motong and
    Xia Mi as his team members.
[16:45] Finger
    Then, do you have any powerful gear for us?
[16:48] Anjou
    We do.
[16:56] Jurgen
    The Seven Deadly Sins are blades Ye Sheng
    and Sakatoku Aki found in the City of Bronze.
[17:01] Anjou
    That's right. Each blade here
    is forged from recycled metal,
[17:05] Anjou
    with different strengths and toughness.
[17:07] Anjou
    They belong solely to the supreme
    alchemist among the Four Rulers,
[17:10] Anjou
    the Dragon Emperor of Bronze and Flames.
[17:12] Night Watchman
    Why did the Dragon Emperor
    painstakingly forge them?
[17:15] Lu Mingfei OS
    To...
[17:19] Lu Mingfei OS
    slay the others.
[17:20] Anjou
    We suspect Norton used the
    seven blades to judge his brothers.
[17:24] Anjou
    They correspond to the
    seven Emperors' weaknesses.
[17:26] Anjou
    The ancient Hebrew engraved on
    the tangs translates as:
[17:30] Anjou
    "The blood of Emperors
    shall end by the sword."
[17:36] Chu Zihang
    So when he forged this set of blades,
[17:38] Chu Zihang
    he was already counting
    down the lives of his brothers?
[17:40] Anjou
    Yes. Legend says that after the Black
    Emperor consumed the White Empress,
[17:44] Anjou
    he roared in agony, soaring
    to the zenith of the heavens,
[17:47] Anjou
    before diving to the ocean's deepest depths.
[17:49] Anjou
    He broke through the winter's frozen ice,
[17:52] Anjou
    and repeated this seven times.
[17:54] Finger
    Can this thing really slay a Dragon Emperor?
[17:57] Finger
    Especially the smallest blade,
[17:59] Finger
    can it pierce dragon scales?
[18:01] Anjou
    Not right now, because they
    have not yet awakened, but...
[18:14] Anjou
    Now they can.
[18:16] Night Watchman
    All right. Try pulling out the swords,
[18:19] Night Watchman
    starting with Mingfei.
[18:21] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[18:22] Night Watchman
    The first one, Luxuria.
[18:35] Night Watchman
    First stage passed. Try the others.
[18:38] Lu Mingfei
    No way. Pulling out the smallest
    one almost finished me off.
[18:41] Night Watchman
    Try again. The second one, Gula!
[18:59] Lu Mingfei
    I-It only moved a little.
[19:01] Night Watchman
    Next, Acedia.
[19:15] Lu Mingfei
    I really... can't do this anymore.
[19:17] Night Watchman
    Looks like this is a bit challenging.
[19:19] Night Watchman
    Next,
[19:20] Night Watchman
    Finger.
[19:23] Finger
    Fellow brothers, prepare to witness the
    power I've cultivated for nine years!
[19:32] Night Watchman
    You pulled three out!
[19:34] Night Watchman
    Impressive bloodline, but...
[19:36] Night Watchman
    his spirit is too weak.
[19:37] Night Watchman
    These things... are...
    too hard to pull out.
[19:42] Night Watchman
    Finally, Chu Zihang.
[19:44] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[20:15] Finger
    Wow... Impressive.
[20:18] Schneider
    Avaritia.
[20:36] Chu Zihang
    I've... been rejected.
[20:39] Night Watchman
    The exam is over.
[20:41] Night Watchman
    The principal will address those who failed.
[20:43] Night Watchman
    Everyone else, follow me.
[20:46] Anjou
    Here, use this to bandage it.
[20:51] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[20:54] Anjou
    Even Finger managed to
    pull out the third one,
[20:56] Anjou
    yet you were rejected. Why?
[20:58] Chu Zihang
    My bloodline won't return to its
    original purity for another month.
[21:02] Chu Zihang
    And in reality, my bloodline isn't
    as outstanding as the legends claim.
[21:06] Chu Zihang
    Principal, you've already
    guessed that, right?
[21:08] Anjou
    Yes.
[21:10] Anjou
    Most people in the College
    consider you an "A+" rank.
[21:14] Anjou
    But you know the truth.
[21:15] Anjou
    Your exceptional abilities are
    due to you mastering Blood Rage.
[21:19] Anjou
    Your so-called "Unquenchable Golden Pupils"
[21:22] Anjou
    are because you've lost
    control of your bloodline.
[21:26] Anjou
    You know your lifespan won't be long, right?
[21:30] Chu Zihang
    Yes.
[21:32] Chu Zihang
    By the time I realized it,
    it was already too late.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    The Blood Rage skill is like an abyss.
[21:39] Chu Zihang
    From the day I started using it,
[21:42] Chu Zihang
    I began my descent.
[21:47] Anjou
    We... already know about the accident that
    befell your father six years ago.
[21:52] Anjou
    To this day, it remains a mystery.
[21:55] Anjou
    But if you want to find out
    the truth of your past,
[21:57] Anjou
    you must stay alive.
[21:59] Chu Zihang
    I understand.
[22:01] Chu Zihang
    Everyone wants to live.
[22:02] Anjou
    There's something I want to
    tell you about Blood Rage,
[22:05] Anjou
    because you actually
    do not have all the information.

    Episode 16
[01:35] Anjou
    There's something I want to
    tell you about Blood Rage,
[01:39] Anjou
    because you haven't
    been told the whole story.
[01:42] Anjou
    There is a technique that can enhance
    the purity of dragon blood in hybrids.
[01:46] Anjou
    Your bloodline can be enhanced without
    being corrupted by dragon blood.
[01:50] Anjou
    But it requires a rare serum
[01:52] Anjou
    extracted from
    a high-level ancient dragon.
[01:54] Anjou
    Right now, we only have
    enough for one person.
[01:56] Anjou
    Do you know about the Nibelungen Plan?
[02:00] Anjou
    It's a plan supported by the school board
[02:03] Anjou
    to select the most outstanding student
[02:06] Anjou
    and bestow this gift upon them.
[02:07] Anjou
    It has another objective, and that is to
    identify the vermin infiltrating our ranks,
[02:12] Anjou
    like... you.
[02:17] Anjou
    And perhaps also Lu Mingfei.
[02:19] Chu Zihang
    The Gattuso family has been pushing that plan,
[02:22] Chu Zihang
    so their intended beneficiary
    must be Caesar.
[02:25] Anjou
    That's right. But the technique has
    different implications for you and Caesar.
[02:29] Anjou
    It might be your only way to survive.
[02:31] Chu Zihang
    What should I do?
[02:32] Anjou
    Go to Shangdu and compete with Caesar.
[02:36] Anjou
    He once slew a Dragon Emperor,
    and you deserve the same achievement.
[02:42] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[02:43] Anjou
    I just want you to have a fair chance.
[02:46] Anjou
    Get ready. Your team will leave immediately.
[02:48] Anjou
    The flight leaves in three hours.
[02:52] Chu Zihang
    If Finger really doesn't want to go,
    I don't think we should force him.
[02:57] Anjou
    He... was once an A-rank
    student at the College.
[03:01] Anjou
    He got injured during a mission,
[03:03] Anjou
    and ended up like this.
[03:06] Anjou
    Ten years ago, he was to
    me what you are to me now.
[03:10] Anjou
    He also needs a chance to rediscover himself.
[03:17] Chu Zihang
    A folding knife?
[03:18] Anjou
    I'm lending it to you.
[03:19] Chu Zihang
    It has the ability to slay
    the First Generation.
[03:21] Chu Zihang
    It was forged from the fragments
    of an alchemical weapon
[03:24] Chu Zihang
    passed down in my friend's
    family after it broke.
[03:26] Chu Zihang
    Remember to return it afterwards.
[03:28] Chu Zihang
    Yes,
[03:30] Chu Zihang
    General.
[03:34] Caesar
    Our team will leave for Xinguo in two hours.
[03:37] Caesar
    The equipment division is
    preparing weapons for us.
[03:40] Xia Mi
    Wow.
[03:41] Caesar
    What's this?
[03:42] Researcher
    A modified blowtorch.
[03:45] Researcher
    We call it the Dragon's Breath.
[03:47] Researcher
    It's filled with an ordinary
     flammable chemical right now,
[03:50] Researcher
    but it can also be filled with
    nitroglycerin or mercury.
[03:52] Researcher
    Its flame can severely
    damage lower-tier dragons.
[03:55] Researcher
    If we encounter a First Generation,
    it can also serve as a flashlight.
[03:58] Xia Mi
    A lighter...
[04:01] Xia Mi
    This is basically a bomb, right?
[04:02] Researcher
    Anyone would've guessed that a
    lighter could be turned into a bomb.
[04:05] Researcher
    We added a music function
    and built-in speaker.
[04:08] Xia Mi
    Wow! Interesting.
[04:11] Xia Mi
    Hey, can I take this?
[04:13] Caesar
    Sure. Do you want to take that
    shoulder-mounted sniper cannon, too?
[04:17] Xia Mi
    Um... No, thanks.
[04:18] Caesar
    I helped Chu Zihang once,
[04:19] Caesar
    but that doesn't mean I'm his friend.
[04:22] Caesar
    Aren't you worried about
    accepting gifts from the enemy?
[04:24] Caesar
    Or would you consider joining the
    student union to become my friend?
[04:29] Xia Mi
    Sure, I'll join as a spy.
    Does the student union accept spies?
[04:34] Caesar
    Sometimes we do.
[04:35] Caesar
    Caesar,
[04:35] Caesar
    there's a special item for you.
[04:37] Caesar
    The school board said to
    deliver it to you personally.
[04:40] Caesar
    Looks interesting. Want to come and see?
[04:43] Xia Mi
    Sure.
[04:48] Xia Mi
    Wow.
[04:50] Caesar
    A crossbow?
[04:56] Caesar
    Philosopher's Stone?
[04:58] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    Something like that.
[05:00] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    It's extracted from the
    bones of a Dragon Emperor,
[05:02] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    a crystallized form of the fire element.
[05:04] Caesar
    Sounds like the spark that
    could destroy the world.
[05:06] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    This is the Gattuso family's
    greatest support for your mission.
[05:09] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    They hope that the Emperor of Earth
    and Mountains will die by your hand.
[05:13] Caesar
    Are you... from the family?
[05:16] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    I'm the deputy leader of equipment.
[05:18] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    If you really face the Dragon Emperor,
[05:20] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    I suggest that you don't hesitate,
[05:21] Deputy Leader of Equipment
    because he won't give you much time.
[05:26] Xia Mi
    Hi, Sister!
[05:27] Caesar
    Can you let us talk in private?
[05:29] Caesar
    Remember to meet at the airport in two hours.
[05:31] Caesar
    We will leave for Xinguo immediately.
[05:32] Xia Mi
    Sure! Don't worry, Nono and
    I will be there on time.
[05:38] Susie
    As you requested, here are photocopies
[05:40] Susie
    of all parchment scrolls kept
    by the Lionheart Society.
[05:42] Susie
    Everything about Blood Rage is in there.
[05:44] Susie
    I don't understand it,
[05:45] Susie
    but you probably can.
[05:51] Caesar
    You keep your promises.
[05:53] Caesar
    Chu Zihang let you handle these
     because he trusted you.
[05:57] Caesar
    By doing this, are you betraying him?
[06:00] Susie
    That's none of your business.
[06:01] Susie
    We made a deal.
[06:03] Susie
    You support Chu Zihang at the hearing,
[06:05] Susie
    and I give you these photocopies.
[06:08] Susie
    I have a paper to revise, so I'm leaving.
[06:11] Caesar
    Susie,
[06:13] Caesar
    when Chu Zihang finds out he's not the
    only one in the world who can use Blood Rage,
[06:17] Caesar
    won't he hate you?
[06:19] Susie
    He's just a stubborn brat who
    can't manage his own life.
[06:22] Caesar
    A stubborn brat?
[06:24] Susie
    A stubborn brat.
[06:26] Susie
    He's just one of those stubborn brats
[06:29] Susie
    who always needs help.
[06:31] Caesar
    Haven't you done too much for him?
[06:35] Susie
    Me liking him and him liking
    me are two separate things.
[06:41] Caesar
    If I were you, I'd fight for it.
[06:43] Caesar
    Good night.
[06:47] Announcement
    Welcome aboard this flight to Xinguo.
[06:48] Finger
    The seats are so cramped.
[06:50] Announcement
    Dinner and breakfast will
    be served on the journey.
[06:50] Chu Zihang
    This is a direct flight,
    but it'll take about 14 hours.
[06:53] Announcement
    We'll make an announcement
    when meals are served.
[06:53] Chu Zihang
    Get some sleep, because we'll
    start working as soon as we land.
[06:55] Announcement
    There's a call button above your seat.
[06:56] Finger
    You sound like my mom.
[06:57] Announcement
    If you need help from a flight
    attendant, please press it.
[06:58] Chu Zihang
    I'm sleeping.
[06:59] Lu Mingfei
    Good night.
[07:02] Finger
    I need the toilet.
[07:17] Finger
    These... These people are all...
[07:20] Flight Attendant
    Sir, can I help find your seat?
[07:22] Finger
    Hey, don't you know what kind
    of people are on this flight?
[07:25] Flight Attendant
    I know.
[07:27] Flight Attendant
    People without bloodlines
    aren't allowed on this flight!
[07:30] Finger
    The passengers... are all hybrids...
[07:35] Finger
    Then this plane...
[07:38] Finger
    is basically... a flying dragon's nest!
[07:42] Finger
    That makes us family!
[07:44] Finger
    Why so stingy?

    Bring me a case!
SIGN    Anyone know what's going on? I was delivering food at the Shangdu International Financial Center
    when three men in suits wearing bronze masks suddenly rushed out of the elevator!
    They were holding alchemical weapons modified from multi-purpose knives.
    Now I'm hiding in the freezer behind the Starbecks, shivering... Waiting online for solutions!

[08:43] Finger
    Hey!
[08:44] Finger
    I saw this when I got off the plane.
[08:46] Finger
    Someone took this video over Antarctica.
[08:49] Chu Zihang
    These dragons look like loyal guards
    following the business jet below.
[08:53] Chu Zihang
    It could be AI-generated.
    Info like this shouldn't be public.
[08:56] Lu Mingfei
    Then...
[08:57] Tang Sen
    Lu Mingfei!
[08:58] Tang Sen
    Never thought you'd come to Xinguo, too!
[09:00] Lu Mingfei
    Tang Sen? Hello, hello!
[09:01] Tang Sen
    So happy to see you!
[09:03] Lu Mingfei
    These two are my friends:
    Finger and Chu Zihang.
[09:06] Finger
    Hi!
[09:06] Tang Sen
    Hi! Are you here to slay dragons, too?
[09:08] Finger
    Uh, what do you mean by... "too"?
[09:11] Tang Sen
    That's right. This is a
    special charter flight.
[09:14] Tang Sen
    We pre-screened all the passengers,
    and every single one is a hybrid.
[09:18] Tang Sen
    We're all here to slay dragons.
[09:20] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[09:21] Lu Mingfei/Finger
    This is a bit much, isn't it?
[09:23] Finger
    Come on, bro! Who do you think you are?
[09:25] Finger
    What makes you think you
    can slay dragons in Xinguo?
[09:28] Tang Sen
    I'm not that delusional.
[09:30] Tang Sen
    I just thought that it'd be a
    shame to miss such a major event.
[09:34] Tang Sen
    Have a chat with friends, and a
    vacation in Xinguo at the same time.
[09:37] Tang Sen
    Kills two birds with one stone, right?
[09:39] Tang Sen
    Look, some people even
    brought their families.
[09:41] Lu Mingfei
    Come to slay a dragon, and if that fails,
     treat it as a vacation?
[09:45] Tang Sen
    We're here on vacation.
    If we stumble upon a dragon, we'll slay it.
[09:50] Lu Mingfei
    Nice plan.
[10:01] Lu Mingfei OS
    Why does it feel like...
[10:03] Lu Mingfei OS
    there's a familiar scent here?
[10:12] Su Enxi
    Cut the crap!
[10:13] Su Enxi
    Five minutes ago, a 200,000-ton oil tanker
    sank in the Gulf of Mexico after running aground.
[10:13] Sakatoku Mai
    Autonomous driving again? How lazy.
[10:16] Su Enxi
    New energy companies will see a
    massive upside in the next three months!
[10:20] Sakatoku Mai
    Looks like you're having
    a good time in Shangdu!
[10:23] Su Enxi
    Hands off!
[10:25] Sakatoku Mai
    One touch won't kill you.
[10:26] Su Enxi
    Did you see the stuff I sent?
[10:28] Sakatoku Mai
    That bounty page on the Hunter market?
[10:30] Sakatoku Mai
    I saw it. Whoever posted it is really good.
[10:34] Sakatoku Mai
    They got every hybrid
    in the world involved.
[10:36] Su Enxi
    In just one week, three hybrid charter
    flights entered Xinguo from Anguo.
[10:41] Sakatoku Mai
    That means over 1,000 hybrids
    are already in Xinguo territory.
[10:46] Sakatoku Mai
    But with some of their bloodlines,
[10:48] Sakatoku Mai
    some will die of cardiac arrest the moment
    they enter the Dragon Emperor's domain!
[10:52] Su Enxi
    Over 3,000 have come from Xinguo,
[10:54] Su Enxi
    and even more from the West.
[10:56] Su Enxi
    Among them are three people named
    Finger Von Frings, Chu Zihang, and...
[11:01] Sakatoku Mai
    I saw our little baby.
[11:04] Sakatoku Mai
    Now that he's here, the boss should
    have new orders for us, right?
[11:07] Su Enxi
    I got an email from the boss three hours ago.
[11:10] Su Enxi
    The order is that Lu Mingfei must
    personally slay the Dragon Emperor!
[11:15] Sakatoku Mai
    Here we go again!
[11:16] Sakatoku Mai
    Is it really worth spending so much
    time on that useless piece of trash?
[11:20] Sakatoku Mai
    What kind of luck did he get?
[11:22] Sakatoku Mai
    So many people are fighting
    to be his babysitter!
[11:25] Su Enxi
    We can't question the boss's logic,
     but the order is this:
[11:28] Su Enxi
    the Dragon Emperor must
    die by Lu Mingfei's hand!
[11:30] Su Enxi
    Anyone else who has seen the Dragon Emperor
[11:33] Su Enxi
    will be buried with that dragon!
[11:35] Sakatoku Mai
    Those chartered flights
    have become death flights.
[11:37] Sakatoku Mai
    Fine, let them be sacrifices.
[11:39] Sakatoku Mai
    But the problem is,
    Lu Mingfei really is useless.
[11:42] Sakatoku Mai
    How can we ensure that he
    slays the Dragon Emperor?
[11:44] Sakatoku Mai
    And personally, no less.
[11:46] Su Enxi
    It's not impossible.
[11:48] Su Enxi
    Lu Mingfei's team has the Seven Deadly Sins.
[11:50] Su Enxi
    They're paradoxical weapons capable
    of slaying all Dragon Emperors.
[11:53] Su Enxi
    All he lacks is the will to pull them out.
[11:58] Su Enxi
    Using so many resources to
    make a little boy happy...
[12:03] Su Enxi
    Mai, do you think the boss genuinely
    cares about Lu Mingfei's feelings?
[12:09] Sakatoku Mai
    He doesn't care about anyone's feelings.
[12:13] Su Enxi
    Lu Mingfei really is lucky.
[12:15] Sakatoku Mai
    Many people have helped him,
    but that isn't happiness.
[12:19] Sakatoku Mai
    None of it brings him joy.
[12:21] Sakatoku Mai
    It just maintains his fragile
    balance on the edge of loneliness.
[12:24] Sakatoku Mai
    Whenever he's about to fall
    into the abyss of sadness,
[12:27] Sakatoku Mai
    someone always gives him
    a little bit of comfort,
[12:30] Sakatoku Mai
    to keep him hanging on.
[12:32] Sakatoku Mai
    I have this strange feeling that
[12:35] Sakatoku Mai
    when he truly reaches
    despair, he'll become...
[12:39] Su Enxi
    Become what?
[12:41] Sakatoku Mai
    Something like a demon.
[12:46] Finger
    With so much information and no leads,
[12:49] Finger
    how long will it take to
    find the Dragon Emperor?
[12:53] Chu Zihang
    What about Lu Mingfei?
[12:54] Chu Zihang
    Do you know where he went?
[12:55] Finger
    He went to an internet café.
[12:57] Finger
    He said playing games
    here would distract you.
[12:59] Finger
    Brother, we're both relying on you.
[13:01] Finger
    The other team is full of elites,
[13:03] Finger
    and you're dragging us
    two oil bottles around.
[13:05] Chu Zihang
    You've misunderstood the term.
[13:07] Chu Zihang
    "Dragging oil bottle" refers to a child born
    to a woman and her ex-husband after divorce.
[13:10] Chu Zihang
    Like me. I'm a dragging oil bottle.
[13:17] Finger
    What are you tinkering with?
[13:19] Finger
    Aren't we here to slay dragons?
[13:21] Finger
    Shouldn't we be scouting Shangdu
    with our gear, looking for dragons?
[13:23] Chu Zihang
    If by "equipment," you mean DSLR cameras,
[13:25] Chu Zihang
    that's what Tang Sen and
    his friends are doing.
[13:28] Chu Zihang
    They went to the Forbidden City
    as soon as they landed,
[13:30] Chu Zihang
    and will visit the
    Summer Palace in the afternoon.
[13:32] Chu Zihang
    They found traces of dragons everywhere.
[13:34] Chu Zihang
    There are dragon veins in the geography,
[13:35] Chu Zihang
    and imperial stone carvings
    depicting dragons and phoenixes.
[13:37] Chu Zihang
    But the quantity and complexity of these
    clues are obscuring what we're looking for.
[13:41] Chu Zihang
    That's why I've been analyzing
    seismic data from Shangdu
[13:43] Chu Zihang
    and its surrounding areas this year.
[13:44] Chu Zihang
    Seismic activity in Shangdu has
    increased tenfold this year.
[13:47] Chu Zihang
    I built a simple mathematical model,
[13:50] Chu Zihang
    and input these data points.
[13:51] Chu Zihang
    This might help us find the epicenter,
[13:53] Chu Zihang
    the Dragon Emperor of Earth and Mountains.
[13:55] Finger
    Amazing!
[13:57] Chu Zihang
    It's normal if you don't understand.
    I do science, you do humanities.
[14:01] Finger
    I do humanities?
[14:04] Finger
    Damn it, nine years of college and
    I just found out I do humanities!
[14:08] Finger
    According to your logic,
[14:10] Finger
    this Dragon Emperor always unleashes
    his power in one spot, right?
[14:14] Finger
    What if he's moving while doing it?
[14:16] Chu Zihang
    Why would the Dragon Emperor move?
[14:18] Chu Zihang
    Is he going to work?
[14:19] Finger
    You're right. He's probably
    hiding somewhere to recover.
[14:25] Finger
    Once he fully recovers his strength,
     he'll wipe us all out.
[14:29] Finger
    With this data, we'll be ahead
    of Caesar's team, right?
[14:33] Chu Zihang
    Hard to say.
[14:34] Chu Zihang
    Too many factors in the city
    could cause ground tremors.
[14:37] Chu Zihang
    Filtering them out could take a while,
[14:39] Chu Zihang
    and our time is limited.
[14:40] Xia Mi OS
    Mole, Mole, I'm Sweet Potato! May I come in?
[14:45] Chu Zihang
    Come in.
[14:46] Xia Mi
    Ta-daa!
[14:47] Xia Mi
    Hey, Brothers! Wow, what a mess!
[14:50] Xia Mi
    Is this the legendary boys' dorm?
[14:53] Finger
    Xia Mi, you're so beautiful!
[14:56] Finger
    Let me see your outfit.
[14:58] Xia Mi
    I was worried you'd starve,
    so I brought you some food!
[15:02] Finger
    Wow, all specialties from Shangdu!
[15:05] Xia Mi
    Huh? Why isn't Lu Mingfei here?
[15:07] Finger
    He went out for training.
[15:09] Finger
    Just share the food with us.
[15:11] Xia Mi
    I'm from Shangdu. I went home
    to see my parents today,
[15:14] Xia Mi
    and bought you some food.
[15:16] Finger
    Ah! This overwhelming sense of joy.
[15:18] Finger
    You really are a spy sent by us.
[15:20] Finger
    I knew you were secretly on our side!
[15:23] Xia Mi
    Of course, because you're the
    most handsome, Brother Finger!
[15:29] Finger
    Look, Brother, you still
    rely on my good looks
[15:33] Finger
    to escape the misery of
    eating junk food every day!
[15:36] Xia Mi
    Brother, what are you doing?
[15:39] Xia Mi
    Analyzing the seismic data from
    Shangdu to find the Dragon Emperor?
[15:42] Chu Zihang
    Yes, but there's too much interference.
[15:43] Chu Zihang
    It's like the wind creating
    ripples on the surface of a lake.
[15:46] Chu Zihang
    The fish is hiding beneath the surface.
[15:48] Chu Zihang
    When it fully awakens,
[15:50] Chu Zihang
    it will suddenly burst through
    the water in dragon form.
[15:52] Chu Zihang
    By then, it will be too late.
[15:54] Xia Mi
    So he's still in human form for now?
[15:57] Chu Zihang
    Yes,
[15:59] Chu Zihang
    otherwise he couldn't have caused the incidents
[16:01] Chu Zihang
    at the train station and the theme park.
[16:02] Chu Zihang
    A dragon in human form
    has its powers restricted,
[16:05] Chu Zihang
    as was the case with
     Dragon Emperor Norton.
[16:07] Xia Mi
    Developing a dragon body takes time,
    like going through another incubation period.
[16:12] Xia Mi
    So in the meantime, my parents would
    like to invite you for a meal.
[16:15] Chu Zihang
    Huh? Why?
[16:16] Xia Mi
    I told them that you've been
    taking good care of me, so...
[16:20] Finger
    Hey, is this the legendary
    "meeting the parents" thing?
[16:25] Finger
    So cute!
[16:26] Xia Mi
    Cute, my ass!
[16:27] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi, you can see how chaotic it is here.
[16:30] Chu Zihang
    I probably won't have time to go.
[16:32] Chu Zihang
    Thank your parents for their kindness.
[16:33] Xia Mi
    It's just a meal!
[16:35] Xia Mi
    You should have a few hours.
[16:37] Xia Mi
    My brother really wants to meet you.
[16:39] Xia Mi
    He was shouting on the phone,
[16:41] Xia Mi
    "Big Sister, I want
    Big Brother to play with me!"
[16:44] Xia Mi
    I had no choice but to invite you!
[16:46] Xia Mi
    Pretty please?
[16:54] Chu Zihang
    When?
[16:55] Xia Mi
    The day after tomorrow at noon.
[16:57] Xia Mi
    How about making dumplings together?
[16:58] Chu Zihang
    Sure.
[16:59] Finger
    Oh, dear.
[17:00] Finger
    I have plans for the day
    after tomorrow at noon.
[17:02] Finger
    I'd love to join you,
    but it's just unfortunate.
[17:04] Chu Zihang
    What plans do you have?
[17:06] Finger
    Visiting the 987 Art Museum.
[17:08] Finger
    Hey, Xia Mi the spy,
    what's Caesar doing right now?
[17:11] Xia Mi
    Him?
[17:12] Xia Mi
    I think he went to Liulichang.
[17:21] Caesar
    Are you Mr. Lin Fenglong, who uses the
    name Phoenix on the Hunter website?
[17:26] Lin Fenglong
    Mr. Caesar Gattuso.
[17:29] Lin Fenglong
    You look so young.
[17:32] Caesar
    I didn't come here for tea.
[17:34] Caesar
    I'm offering 200,000 An dollars for
    your information on the dragon.
[17:39] Lin Fenglong
    Even among Hunters, there are
    those who splash money around.
[17:44] Caesar
    I'm just having fun.
[17:46] Lin Fenglong
    Not far from here lies Guangcai Hutong.
[17:49] Lin Fenglong
    During the Yao Dynasty, it was where
    firearms and explosives were manufactured.
[17:53] Lin Fenglong
    Back then, it had another name...
[17:56] Lin Fenglong
    the Gunpowder Bureau!
[17:57] Caesar
    The Gunpowder Bureau explosion is one of the
    three most mysterious blasts in history.
[18:01] Lin Fenglong
    Yes. We have reason to believe
[18:04] Lin Fenglong
    that all three disasters were caused
    by awakening Dragon Emperors.
[18:08] Lin Fenglong
    In 1628 also, a Dragon Emperor
    resurrected in this city.
[18:14] Lin Fenglong
    Perhaps that's the one you're looking for.
[18:19] Lin Fenglong
    An ancient book from the Yao Dynasty.
[18:21] Lin Fenglong
    The paper is made from
    mulberry bark and dragon beard grass,
[18:23] Lin Fenglong
    so it can't be made by later generations.
[18:25] SIGN
    Records of Disasters
[18:25] Lin Fenglong
    These are the notes of an unknown
    author from the Yao Dynasty,
[18:28] Lin Fenglong
    describing the Wanggongchang explosion.
[18:30] Lin Fenglong
    It's the most detailed account
    available in folk literature.
[18:33] Caesar
    Even if this is the only copy,
[18:35] Caesar
    it wouldn't cost 200,000 An dollars, right?
[18:37] Lin Fenglong
    No, this book is everywhere.
[18:40] Lin Fenglong
    However, its contents differ from the
    traditional Records of Disasters.
[18:45] Lin Fenglong
    It contains an extensive
    additional section on geomancy.
[18:50] Caesar
    Geomancy?
[18:53] Lin Fenglong
    It's feng shui.
[18:55] Lin Fenglong
    This book details how the author
    found the dragon veins in Shangdu,
[19:00] Lin Fenglong
    that is, the location of the dragon.
[19:02] Lin Fenglong
    Shangdu still occupies nearly the same
     location it did during the Yao Dynasty,
[19:07] Lin Fenglong
    but some place names have changed.
[19:08] Lin Fenglong
    I'll sell you this book for 200,000 An dollars,
[19:11] Lin Fenglong
    and I'll throw in a map of
    the Yao Dynasty for free.
[19:14] Caesar
    Is this another treasure you found?
[19:16] Lin Fenglong
    No, it's the first edition from
    Xinguo Map Publishing, 2003.
[19:24] Caesar
    Deal.
[19:27] Lin Fenglong
    Goodbye.
[19:29] Caesar
    One more thing, Mr. Lin Fenglong.
[19:31] Caesar
    This book is genuine,
    so I'm willing to pay for it.
[19:33] Caesar
    But if you have ulterior motives,
[19:36] Caesar
    I guarantee you'll regret it.
[19:41] Lin Fenglong
    Are you satisfied now?
[19:43] Lin Fenglong
    I've been following your instructions.
[19:46] Lin Fenglong
    You would be easily discovered hiding here,
[19:49] Lin Fenglong
    especially with his Wind Devil Yanling.
[19:52] Parsi
    But you can neutralize his domain.
[19:54] Parsi
    Does that book really have
    clues to the Dragon Emperor?
[19:56] Lin Fenglong
    They should be hidden in there,
[19:58] Lin Fenglong
    but I've searched for decades
    and I can't find them.
[20:01] Lin Fenglong
    The minor tremors are growing
    more frequent these days.
[20:04] Lin Fenglong
    As you might have guessed,
[20:06] Lin Fenglong
    he's nearly beyond containment.
[20:07] Lin Fenglong
    Also, you still owe me the final
    payment of 2,500,000 An dollars.
[20:12] Parsi
    It's already been transferred
    to your account.
[20:14] Parsi
    You shouldn't care so much about money.
[20:18] Lin Fenglong
    As an old man, I have few other pursuits.
[20:23] Lin Fenglong
    I'm really curious.
[20:25] Lin Fenglong
    You bought that book from
    me for 5,000,000 An dollars,
[20:29] Lin Fenglong
    then had me resell it to him.
[20:31] Lin Fenglong
    Why such a hassle?
[20:33] Lin Fenglong
    Why not give it to him directly?
[20:34] Parsi
    He's always resisted the
    family's arrangements.
[20:37] Parsi
    Still in his rebellious phase, I guess.
[20:38] Lin Fenglong
    But this way, he'll think he slayed the
    Dragon Emperor with his own strength.
[20:42] Lin Fenglong
    Won't that make him more rebellious?
[20:49] Parsi
    All proud birds eventually
    return to their nests.
[20:55] Parsi
    Close this antique shop and leave this place.
[20:58] Lin Fenglong
    I...
[20:58] Parsi
    Don't say you're already dead.
[21:00] Parsi
    Although you've been crossed off the list,
[21:02] Parsi
    your old friend Anjou has been
    looking for you all these years,
[21:06] Parsi
    Mr. Friedrich von Ron.
[21:12] Lin Fenglong
    Frost talks too much.
[21:15] Lin Fenglong
    I hope you're the last person
    to know my name, Mr. Parsi.
[21:20] Parsi
    There's no need to keep it secret from me,
[21:22] Parsi
    since I won't be alive for long either.
[21:26] Chu Zihang
    Thanks for the delivery.
[21:28] Courier
    You're welcome.
[21:30] Finger
    What is this?
[21:32] Chu Zihang
    Professor Webber sent over the notebooks of
    the two missing investigators from Xinguo.
[21:36] Chu Zihang
    They might contain some valuable information.
[21:40] Finger
    Good luck, Chulock Holmes.

    Abyss-like object appears in the sea
     July 4, 2016, typhoon, unknown accident
[01:51] SIGN
    On July 4, 2016, a super typhoon hit the city, causing widespread damage. On July 5, 2015, a mysterious vehicle was found on a closed section of the highway. It was damaged by numerous scratches. The body of the vehicle looked like a metal wreck that had been repeatedly attacked by the claws of a giant beast,

[01:54] SIGN
    On July 5, 2015, a mysterious vehicle was found on a closed section of the highway. It was damaged by numerous scratches. The body of the vehicle looked like a metal wreck that had been repeated attacked by the claws of a giant beast, and its hood was riddled with 37 parallel dents up to 3cm deep.
[02:06] Finger
    You volunteered for this mission, right?
[02:10] Finger
    There must be another reason.
[02:16] Chu Zihang
    I...
[02:19] Chu Zihang
    I don't want to run away this time.
[02:24] Finger
    I guess you've figured out something
    from this whole chain of events.
[02:30] Finger
    So...
[02:40] Chu Zihang OS
    That rainy night is back.
[02:43] Chu Zihang OS
    The only way to know whether
    that man is alive or dead
[02:47] Chu Zihang OS
    is to uncover the truth of that incident.
[02:50] Chu Zihang OS
    But before that,
[02:53] Chu Zihang OS
    I need strength.
[03:19] Chu Zihang
    The mark... is becoming clearer again.
[03:32] Chu Zihang
    Deep blue. My blood has recovered.
[03:36] Chu Zihang
    My strength... should be recovered, too.
[03:40] Finger
    Hey?
[03:41] Finger
    What are you doing?
[03:43] Finger
    You woke me up.
[03:46] Chu Zihang
    I'm boiling water for coffee.
[03:48] Finger
    I see you've been on that laptop all night.
[03:51] Finger
    Find anything?
[03:53] Chu Zihang
    Not yet, but I'll keep looking.
[03:56] Finger
    You're looking at the browsing history.
[03:59] Finger
    Forums?
[04:01] Finger
    A hidden legend about the Shangdu subway?
[04:04] Finger
    "Legend says that the first station on
    the west side of Line 1 is Naiyuan,"
[04:08] Finger
    "but Naiyuan's station number
    is 103, not 101 or 102."
[04:12] Finger
    "Actually, there are two hidden
    stations past Naiyuan:"
[04:16] Finger
    "101 is Gaosishi Station,
    and 102 is Songshuling Station."
[04:20] Finger
    "There are also two even more hidden stations:"
[04:22] Finger
    "Xuanjiu Station and Sanchakou Station."
[04:25] Finger
    Is that it?
[04:27] Finger
    Not bad for an urban legend,
    but why does it just end like that?
[04:30] Chu Zihang
    There's a link below.
[04:31] Finger
    Huh?
[04:33] Finger
    Ah, a personal blog.
[04:35] Finger
    Huh? It's empty?
[04:38] Finger
    This blog hasn't been used
    since it was created, right?
[04:40] Chu Zihang
    That could be, or maybe...
[04:44] Finger
    The text appeared.
[04:46] Chu Zihang
    Pressing Control and A together
    selects all the text on a page.
[04:49] Chu Zihang
    If there's any hidden text,
    it will visibly change color.
[04:53] Finger
    "You need a subway card."
[04:54] Finger
    "Enter every station on Line 1 and the
    Circle Line once within a single day."
[04:59] Finger
    "Then you'll see the card turn gold."
[05:02] Finger
    "Swipe this card to access
    the hidden stations."
[05:06] Finger
    What does this mean?
[05:08] Chu Zihang
    I'm not sure, but remember,
[05:11] Chu Zihang
    these two laptops belonged to
    the two missing specialists.
[05:15] Chu Zihang
    Their job was to search the subway lines
    every day for targets with dragon bloodlines.
[05:19] Chu Zihang
    The specialist named Wan Boqian's Yanling
    "Blood Link" made her very sensitive to bloodlines.
[05:24] Finger
    Could the Dragon Emperor
    be hiding in the subway?
[05:27] Chu Zihang
    Although they're mostly empty space,
[05:29] Chu Zihang
    subway tunnels actually see a lot of traffic.
[05:32] Chu Zihang
    With daily patrols,
    they're not suitable for hiding.
[05:37] Finger
    You science types just don't get it.
[05:39] Finger
    Urban legends aren't always baseless rumors.
[05:42] Finger
    What if there really is a ghost
    train carrying the Dragon Emperor?
[05:45] Chu Zihang
    I don't believe in legends.
[05:47] Chu Zihang
    But we can use models to analyze
    the seismic data around the subway.
[05:52] Finger
    Fine.
[05:53] Chu Zihang
    Has there been any word from Lu Mingfei?
[05:55] Finger
    He's probably still at the internet café.
[05:57] Finger
    Maybe he met a pretty girl.
[06:01] Girl
    You look just like my cousin.
[06:04] Lu Mingfei
    Does your cousin approve of you
    trashing his looks like this?
[06:08] Girl
    Hey, can you teach me how to play games?
[06:12] Girl
    I've never played before.
[06:14] Lu Mingfei
    I think you should just play
    the match-three games.
[06:17] Lu Mingfei
    You don't need me to teach you.
[06:19] Girl
    Don't be so cold.
[06:22] Girl
    I just thought you looked familiar
    and wanted to hang out.
[06:25] Sakatoku Mai
    This is the artsy girl you found?
[06:28] Su Enxi
    Finding one in such a
    short time is good enough!
[06:31] Su Enxi
    At least she's cute.
[06:32] Su Enxi
    Besides, wasn't it your idea to get a girl to
    trick him into entering the Dragon Emperor's lair?
[06:37] Sakatoku Mai
    Hey, didn't I have to
    pull out all the tricks?
[06:40] Sakatoku Mai
    According to the plan's schedule,
    that dragon should be dead in 18 hours!
[06:44] Sakatoku Mai
    We should have packed up Lu Mingfei and
    sent him to the dragon's lair two hours ago,
[06:47] Sakatoku Mai
    but he's still relaxing at the internet café.
[06:50] Sakatoku Mai
    You know what? If he doesn't leave right now,
[06:52] Sakatoku Mai
    I'm going to flatten the café.
[06:54] Su Enxi
    You're right. It's time to toss
    our little bunny a carrot.
[06:58] Sakatoku Mai
    How? Steal his phone?
[07:00] Lu Mingfei
    Hey! My phone!
[07:02] Lu Mingfei
    Don't run! Give it back!
[07:04] Customer Service
    Sir, you have to pay before leaving.
[07:05] Sakatoku Mai
    She actually did it.
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    Sure, quickly!
[07:08] Su Enxi
    Well, at least, Lu Mingfei
    has finally left the internet café.
[07:13] Lu Mingfei
    Don't run! Stop!
[07:16] Lu Mingfei
    Damn it, how can that girl run so fast?
[07:18] Lu Mingfei
    I'm an S-rank.
[07:21] Lu Mingfei
    The state of this road...
[07:31] Lu Mingfei (Internal OS)
    This... is me right now?
[07:37] Lu Mingfei (Internal OS)
    I'm... still just a loser.
[07:40] Lu Mingfei (Internal OS)
    Even an S-rank gets his phone snatched.
[07:44] Lu Mingfei (Internal OS)
    I'm... still just a loser.
[07:49] Lu Mingze
    Brother.
[07:51] Lu Mingze
    Did you know?
[07:52] Lu Mingze
    I hate rainy days the most.
[07:54] Lu Mingze
    Getting soaked always makes me feel cold,
[07:57] Lu Mingze
    and I hate the cold.
[07:58] Lu Mingfei
    Why not use an umbrella?
[07:59] Lu Mingze
    We're salesmen.
[08:01] Lu Mingze
    How can we be more comfortable
    than our clients?
[08:03] Lu Mingze
    Don't you remember, Brother?
[08:05] Lu Mingze
    I told you before that in this world,
     only I am on your side.
[08:10] Lu Mingze
    Although I really want to have your life,
[08:13] Lu Mingze
    I'll always be with you.
[08:16] Lu Mingze
    If you're getting soaked by the rain,
    I won't use an umbrella.
[08:24] Lu Mingfei
    Get lost. Find somewhere to
    shelter and entertain yourself.
[08:28] Lu Mingfei
    I'm soaked because my phone got stolen.
[08:31] Lu Mingze
    That's no big deal.
[08:33] Lu Mingze
    I'm here to tell you that something
    far more important is coming.
[08:37] Lu Mingze
    Something unprecedented.
[08:40] Lu Mingze
    You must get ready to face it, Brother.
[08:42] Lu Mingze
    Otherwise, you'll die.
[08:44] Lu Mingze
    If you died before our contract
    is fulfilled, I'd be heartbroken.
[08:48] Lu Mingze
    So this time, I'm giving
    you a new cheat code:
[08:52] Lu Mingze
    "Something For Nothing."
[08:54] Lu Mingze
    This cheat code instantly
    upgrades everything,
[08:57] Lu Mingze
    maxing out their effectiveness.
[08:59] Lu Mingze
    It's a truly earth-shattering power,
[09:02] Lu Mingze
    capable of annihilating even
    the Four Rulers in one strike.
[09:06] Lu Mingze
    The cost is a mere quarter of your life.
[09:10] Lu Mingfei
    Something... For Nothing?
[09:14] Lu Mingfei
    What does it mean?
[09:15] Lu Mingze
    Trading something precious
    for nothing in return.
[09:18] Lu Mingze
    That's the literal meaning.
[09:21] Lu Mingfei
    Never mind.
[09:23] Lu Mingfei
    None of this matters to me.
[09:25] Lu Mingfei
    Getting my phone back is more important.
[09:27] Lu Mingze
    What's wrong?
[09:28] Lu Mingze
    Feeling upset?
[09:30] Lu Mingfei
    No.
[09:31] Lu Mingze
    Then you feel wronged?
[09:33] Lu Mingze
    You're a hero, yet other people
    see you as a worthless loser.
[09:38] Lu Mingze
    You sacrificed a quarter of your
    life to save that girl, Nono.
[09:41] Lu Mingze
    But no one knows.
[09:43] Lu Mingze
    Even you don't dare admit it.
[09:46] Lu Mingze
    Seriously, why are you so unlucky?
[09:49] Lu Mingfei
    Get lost!
[09:58] Lu Mingze
    You can't escape, Brother.
[10:01] Lu Mingze
    You've already been caught.
[10:03] Lu Mingze
    There's someone up ahead who needs you.
[10:07] Girl
    No! Stay away!
[10:09] Lu Mingfei
    That girl from before.
[10:12] Girl
    Stay away, stay away!
[10:13] Girl
    I gave you everything! Let me go!
[10:15] Bad Guy 2
    You think we'll be satisfied with a phone?
[10:18] Bad Guy 2
    Come on, let me search you properly.
[10:20] Bad Guy 2
    Let's see what else you've got.
[10:20] Girl
    No, stay away!
[10:20] Lu Mingfei
    Stop!
[10:24] Bad Guy 2
    Boss...
[10:26] Lu Mingfei
    Y-You'd better let her go, or else...
[10:29] Bad Guy Boss
    Trying to scare me?
[10:33] Bad Guy Boss
    Shoryuken!
[10:36] Bad Guy 2
    Nice work!
[10:40] Bad Guy Boss
    Don't play the hero if you're not up for it.
[10:42] Bad Guy Boss
    I can't freakin' stand people like you.
[10:45] Bad Guy Boss
    Give me all the money you've got.
[10:49] Bad Guy 2
    Stop running!
[10:51] Bad Guy 2
    Boss, she ran out to the street.
[10:53] Bad Guy 2
    We can't get her now.
[10:54] Bad Guy Boss
    Damn it! Ruining my fun!
[10:56] Bad Guy Boss
    Time to die!
[10:57] Lu Mingze
    I know you wouldn't trade your
    life for something like this.
[11:01] Lu Mingze
    So I'll wait until they're done beating
    you up before we leave together.
[11:07] Lu Mingze
    So what do you want me to do?
[11:09] Lu Mingze
    Do good deeds?
[11:11] Lu Mingze
    That's not my style.
[11:14] Lu Mingze
    Rather than watch you get beat up,
[11:16] Lu Mingze
    I'd rather admire the night view.
[11:18] Lu Mingze
    It's beautiful, and it'd be
    even better with some lights.
[11:27] Lu Mingze
    Look at this city.
[11:29] Lu Mingfei
    Doesn't it feel lonely?
[11:31] Lu Mingze
    Notice how empty the streets are?
[11:35] Lu Mingze
    Yet people are everywhere.
[11:38] Lu Mingze
    There's someone behind every lit window.
[11:41] Lu Mingze
    Men with the women who love them. And you?
[11:45] Lu Mingze
    You're walking in the freezing
    rain, with nowhere to go.
[11:49] Lu Mingze
    You're a real loser.
[11:52] Lu Mingze
    Do you think that girl's going to
    call the police to save you?
[11:56] Lu Mingze
    She doesn't want trouble,
[11:58] Lu Mingze
    and left you behind long ago.
[12:04] Lu Mingze
    Remember The Little Match Girl?
[12:06] Lu Mingze
    But you don't even have
    matches, my dear brother.
[12:10] Lu Mingze
    Stop being dumb, okay?
[12:12] Lu Mingze
    How can anyone in this
    world be as stupid as you?
[12:14] Lu Mingze
    How can someone who lives alone
    in this world not feel lonely?
[12:20] Lu Mingze
    Lu Mingfei,
[12:21] Lu Mingze
    you don't feel despair
    because certain people
[12:24] Lu Mingze
    keep giving out scraps
    of hope like charity.
[12:27] Lu Mingze
    Once you despair, you'll become
    a completely different person.
[12:32] Lu Mingze
    But one day, you will despair,
[12:35] Lu Mingze
    because you will have nothing.
[12:38] Lu Mingze
    You're useless, you're superfluous.
[12:41] Lu Mingze
    No one really needs you.
[12:43] Lu Mingze
    You're a joke.
[12:45] Lu Mingze
    You've never escaped "Blood Sorrow,"
[12:48] Lu Mingze
    yet you don't even realize.
[12:51] Lu Mingze
    You don't feel lonely?
[12:58] Lu Mingze
    Funny, truly funny.
[13:01] Lu Mingze
    I've never heard a more amusing joke!
[13:04] Lu Mingze
    They give you love like grains
    of rice scraped from a bowl.
[13:08] Lu Mingze
    The only one who truly
    loves you is the devil!
[13:11] Lu Mingze
    Only me! Only this devil, me!
[13:21] Lu Mingze
    Why won't you hug me?
[13:24] Lu Mingze
    Why won't you hug the only one
    in the world who needs you?
[13:31] Lu Mingfei (Internal OS)
    You're... the one who's
    obviously the saddest!
[13:36] Lu Mingze
    Come on, Brother.
[13:38] Lu Mingze
    I don't mind giving back to my clients.
[13:40] Lu Mingze
    Come, let me clean up the streets for you.
[13:43] Lu Mingze
    Why is there so much trash on the streets?
[13:46] Lu Mingze
    They should be emptier,
    just like your empty heart now.
[13:50] Lu Mingze
    Here's a trial version,
    exactly like the real thing,
[13:53] Lu Mingze
    but the real thing is a
    hundred times more powerful!
[13:55] Lu Mingze
    Something For Nothing...
[13:57] Lu Mingze
    One percent... Fusion!
[14:06] Lu Mingze
    Brother.
[14:10] Lu Mingze
    Brother.
[14:12] Lu Mingze
    You... finally came to see me.
[14:20] Bad Guy 2
    Boss, shall we...
[14:21] Bad Guy Boss
    Huh?
[14:23] Lu Mingfei
    What I hate most is when
    people take my stuff.
[14:27] Lu Mingfei
    "Everything I've lost, I'll take
    back myself, piece by piece."
[14:30] Lu Mingfei
    Remember who said that?
[14:32] Lu Mingfei
    It's from a really old movie.
[14:34] Bad Guy 2
    Boss, what's going on?
[14:36] Bad Guy 2
    He... seems like a completely
    different person.
[14:40] Bad Guy Boss
    What're you scared of? Go!
[14:43] Lu Mingfei
    Can't guess?
[14:45] Lu Mingfei
    It's A Better Tomorrow!
[14:47] Lu Mingfei
    It's an old movie, but the
    dialog is really good!
[14:49] Lu Mingfei
    "Everything I've lost, I'll take
    back myself, piece by piece."
[14:58] Lu Mingfei
    Know why I'm treating you
    differently compared to them?
[15:01] Lu Mingfei
    Because you just said "Shoryuken."
[15:03] Lu Mingfei
    I play Street Fighter, too.
[15:05] Lu Mingfei
    Shoryuken is awesome.
[15:08] Bad Guy Boss
    Yes, yes...
[15:09] Lu Mingfei
    That phone you stole?
[15:11] Lu Mingfei
    It's mine.
[15:12] Bad Guy Boss
    Oh, right.
[15:14] Lu Mingfei
    I wouldn't be so rough with someone who
    loves Street Fighter as much as I do.
[15:18] Lu Mingfei
    I'd just chat about the game with him.
[15:21] Lu Mingfei
    Do you know who my favorite character is?
[15:24] Lu Mingfei
    It's Zangief.
[15:27] Lu Mingfei
    His Spinning Piledriver move is so cool.
[15:31] Lu Mingfei
    I wonder if you like the sky.
[16:04] Lu Mingfei
    This...
[16:07] Lu Mingfei
    Did you do this?
[16:09] Lu Mingze
    No,
[16:10] Lu Mingze
    you did it.
[16:12] Lu Mingze
    I just gave you a little initiative.
[16:16] Lu Mingfei
    You...
[16:17] Lu Mingze
    Where are you going, Brother?
[16:20] Lu Mingze
    Didn't we agree to leave together?
[16:24] Lu Mingfei
    You're insane!
[16:26] Lu Mingfei
    You're a complete lunatic! Get lost!
[16:29] Lu Mingfei
    Don't follow me! Don't follow me!
[16:34] Lu Mingze
    Brother.
[16:36] Lu Mingze
    You'll definitely come back for me.
[16:39] Lu Mingze
    You've already been caught.
[16:52] Lu Mingfei
    Chu Zihang went missing during a mission,
[16:54] Lu Mingfei
    on Shangdu Subway Line 1.
[17:00] Lu Mingfei
    Brother!
[17:02] Lu Mingfei
    Why didn't you bring me along?
[17:04] Lu Mingfei
    Doing it by yourself again!
[17:09] Lu Mingfei
    This time, I won't let you leave me behind.
[17:13] Lu Mingfei
    I'll be right there!
[17:28] Lu Mingfei
    It's so late.
[17:29] Lu Mingfei
    The subway should be closed already.
[17:44] Lu Mingfei
    Where... the hell is this?
[17:49] Sakatoku Mai
    Perfect. One text message lured
    bunny #1 into the subway station,
[17:53] Sakatoku Mai
    or rather, Nibelungen.
[17:55] Sakatoku Mai
    Too bad the signal there
    has been jammed for ages,
[17:58] Sakatoku Mai
    so we can't see the bunny's
    terrified state now.
[18:00] Su Enxi
    Huh? Have you been to Nibelungen?
[18:02] Sakatoku Mai
    No, who'd want to go to that damn place?
[18:05] Sakatoku Mai
    But bunny #2 has been there.
[18:06] Su Enxi
    Chu Zihang?
[18:07] Sakatoku Mai
    Yes. He went to that place not meant
    for the living when he was a kid.
[18:11] Sakatoku Mai
    Back then, the entrance was on the overpass.
[18:14] Su Enxi
    This time, only one bunny can make it
    out of the wolf's den alive, right?
[18:19] Sakatoku Mai
    Yes. The handsome, well-behaved,
    polite but somewhat cold-blooded bunny #2
[18:24] Sakatoku Mai
    will pave the way for the cowardly,
    rotten, incompetent bunny #1
[18:27] Sakatoku Mai
    to slay the dragon before dying.
[18:30] Sakatoku Mai
    The plot's a bit cliché,
    but it's still dramatic.
[18:33] Su Enxi
    What a shame.
[18:35] Su Enxi
    He's a decent young man.
[18:36] Sakatoku Mai
    He wouldn't have lived long without
    paving the way for Lu Mingfei anyway.
[18:39] Sakatoku Mai
    He's the same as us,
[18:41] Sakatoku Mai
    a gambler at fate's table.
[18:42] Su Enxi
    What do you mean?
[18:44] SIGN
    Data compression successful.
[18:44] Sakatoku Mai
    He bet himself as the stake.
[18:44] SIGN
    Sending.
[18:47] Sakatoku Mai
    He doesn't have much time left.
[18:50] SIGN
    Begin transfer
    
    Successfully transferred to Chu Zihang's data model
[18:59] Chu Zihang
    The calculations are done?

    Much quicker than expected.
[19:05] Chu Zihang
    This run used data from 11 PM to 6 AM.
[19:09] Chu Zihang
    The subway doesn't operate at night,
[19:12] Chu Zihang
    but the analysis shows
[19:14] Chu Zihang
    faint tremors around
    the subway every night.
[19:19] Chu Zihang
    Could something actually...
[19:20] Chu Zihang
    be hiding in the subway?
[19:23] Chu Zihang
    Finger.
[19:26] Chu Zihang
    When did he leave?
[19:31] Chu Zihang
    This time,
[19:34] Chu Zihang
    I won't run away.
[19:36] Chu Zihang
    I'm coming for you now,
[19:39] Chu Zihang
    Dad.
[19:45] Chu Zihang OS
    The nearest subway station
    is beneath Oriental Plaza.
[19:48] Chu Zihang OS
    Nighttime is perfect for investingating.
[20:07] Chu Zihang OS
    There's no security. Excellent.
[20:14] Chu Zihang OS
    I'm on sub-level 1 now.
[20:16] Chu Zihang OS
    Even if it's pouring outside,
[20:18] Chu Zihang OS
    I shouldn't be able to
    hear the rain on the roof.
[20:23] Chu Zihang OS
    The mark is burning.
[20:37] Chu Zihang
    The gears...
[20:39] Chu Zihang
    are starting to turn.
[20:42] Chu Zihang
    It's back.
[20:45] Chu Zihang
    Water?
[20:50] Chu Zihang
    Why am I getting notifications
    with no signal?
[20:53] Chu Zihang
    Lunch at Xia Mi's place today at 12 PM.
[20:58] Chu Zihang
    When did I set this reminder?
[21:02] Chu Zihang
    Maybe Xia Mi did it when I wasn't looking.
[21:12] Chu Zihang
    It's here.
[21:19] Lu Mingfei
    The subway at this hour...
[21:22] Lu Mingfei
    is kinda creepy.
[21:25] Lu Mingfei
    There's no security around, either.
[21:26] Lu Mingfei
    Nothing's gonna happen, right?
[21:29] Lu Mingfei
    Let's go inside and take a look.
[21:32] Lu Mingfei
    Huh, this...
[21:36] Lu Mingfei
    Where should I go to find Brother?
[21:39] Lu Mingfei
    I'll try giving him a call.
[21:43] Lu Mingfei
    No signal?
[21:45] Lu Mingfei
    Just like the subway in Anguo!

[01:31] sign
    Episode 18
[01:36] Lu Mingfei OS
    Brother went into the subway alone,
[01:39] Lu Mingfei OS
    and I don't know where he is.
[01:42] Lu Mingfei OS
    I have to find him.
[01:44] Lu Mingfei OS
    No matter what,
[01:46] Lu Mingfei OS
    we must complete this mission together.
[02:10] Lu Mingfei
    Anyone with the slightest
    amount of common sense
[02:12] Lu Mingfei
    would know not to get on this ghost train.
[02:22] Lu Mingfei OS
    If I follow the game's plot,
[02:25] Lu Mingfei OS
    I should probably follow
    this ghost train now.
[02:31] Lu Mingfei OS
    It's so dark.
[02:35] Lu Mingfei OS
    It feels like I'm the only one
    alive in this creepy space.
[02:42] Lu Mingfei
    A bird?
[02:43] Lu Mingfei
    How can there be...
[02:56] Lu Mingfei
    These are...
[03:00] Lu Mingfei
    Wind Devils?
[03:04] Lu Mingfei
    These Wind Devils...
[03:06] Lu Mingfei
    are corpses?
[03:24] Su Enxi
    We haven't been able to see him
    since he went into the subway.
[03:26] Su Enxi
    What should we do with our bunny?
[03:29] Su Enxi
    The boss said that the first guardians
    after entering Nibelungen are Wind Devils.
[03:33] Su Enxi
    We sent him to slay the dragon,
[03:35] Su Enxi
    not to be Wind Devil food!
[03:37] Sakatoku Mai
    No big deal. I prepared for this.
[03:40] Sakatoku Mai
    I put a special scent on his clothes.
[03:43] Sakatoku Mai
    Wind Devils hate that scent.
[03:45] Sakatoku Mai
    It makes them sick,
     like garlic to vampires.
[03:49] Su Enxi
    So the Wind Devils won't feed on his blood?
[03:52] Sakatoku Mai
    The males won't,
[03:54] Sakatoku Mai
    as long as he doesn't do something
    stupid to attract their attention.
[03:59] Lu Mingfei OS
    Light! I'm the only light source
    in this tunnel! Maybe...
[04:15] Lu Mingfei OS
    They're gone.
[04:18] Lu Mingfei OS
    They really attacked me
    because of the light.
[04:21] Lu Mingfei OS
    These Wind Devils are everywhere.
[04:24] Lu Mingfei OS
    If I don't deal with them, I can't move.
[04:28] Lu Mingfei OS
    Maybe this'll work!
[04:32] Lu Mingfei
    Come! Come! There's light here!
[04:35] Lu Mingfei
    Come! Come! There's light here!
[04:41] Lu Mingfei
    They're coming from the front! And behind...
[05:10] Lu Mingfei OS
    I got lucky! It worked!
[05:14] Lu Mingfei OS
    Before more Wind Devils arrive,
[05:15] Lu Mingfei OS
    I need to get out of here.
[05:17] Su Enxi
    Males? What if a female shows up?
[05:20] Sakatoku Mai
    Wind Devils are mostly male.
[05:22] Sakatoku Mai
    Females look different from the males.
[05:24] Sakatoku Mai
    They're huge.
[05:26] Sakatoku Mai
    It's like the relationship
    between queen and worker ants.
[05:29] Sakatoku Mai
    There's only one female among
    tens of thousands of males.
[05:32] Sakatoku Mai
    He can't be that unlucky, right?
[05:37] Su Enxi
    Well, let's just pray our bunny
    doesn't run into a female.
[05:44] Lu Mingfei
    This is...
[06:57] Lu Mingfei OS
    I actually survived.
[07:01] Lu Mingfei OS
    It looks like I have no choice this time.
[07:03] Lu Mingfei OS
    To avoid these Wind Devils,
[07:05] Lu Mingfei OS
    I have to get on the train.
[07:15] Lu Mingfei
    It's so dark.
[07:17] Gao Mi
    Finally, a newcomer.
[07:21] Lu Mingfei
    Are you alive or a ghost?
[07:23] Wan Boqian
    Want to join us for a card game?
[07:25] Wan Boqian
    Do you know how to play cards?
[07:28] Lu Mingfei
    G-Ghosts! Ghosts...
[07:31] Wan Boqian
    We're not ghosts. We're alive.
[07:34] Gao Mi
    I'm Gao Mi, from alchemy and mechanical
    engineering, Cassel College,
[07:36] Gao Mi
    currently a specialist
    in the execution bureau.
[07:39] Gao Mi
    I'm Wan Boqian, from the medical department.
[07:42] Lu Mingfei
    From the College?
[07:44] Lu Mingfei
    Classmates?
[07:46] Lu Mingfei
    Hello, I'm also from Cassel College.
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    I'm Lu Mingfei.
[07:49] Lu Mingfei
    You're... really not ghosts?
[07:51] Gao Mi
    We're both alive.
[07:53] Gao Mi
    A few days ago, the College sent us to
    investigate clues about the Dragon Emperor.
[07:58] Gao Mi
    The investigation led us here,
     and we got trapped.
[08:01] Lu Mingfei
    A few days ago?
[08:03] Lu Mingfei
    So you've... been stuck here for a long time?
[08:07] Gao Mi
    Yeah...
[08:08] Gao Mi
    The worst rule here
[08:12] Gao Mi
    is that you can't die.
[08:15] Lu Mingfei
    Rule?
[08:17] Lu Mingfei
    What are the rules here?
[08:18] Lu Mingfei
    Can you give me some pointers?
[08:20] Wan Boqian
    How's your math?
[08:22] Lu Mingfei
    I'm always on the verge of failing.
[08:25] Gao Mi
    Then it's over. You're stuck here, too.
[08:28] Gao Mi
    I was ranked second in math
    at the College back then.
[08:32] Gao Mi
    Who was ranked first?
[08:34] Wan Boqian
    I think his name was Finger Von Frings.
[08:39] Lu Mingfei OS
    Wow, I never realized
    that useless guy was a math genius.
[08:43] Gao Mi
    There are many things here you can't imagine,
[08:46] Gao Mi
    but you'll see soon enough.
[08:49] Gao Mi
    What I can tell you is that
[08:50] Gao Mi
    this is probably an alchemically
    constructed labyrinth,
[08:53] Gao Mi
    like the mythical Labyrinth of Minos.
[08:57] Lu Mingfei
    The Labyrinth of Minos?
[08:58] Wan Boqian
    All Minoan labyrinths in history
    were constructed through alchemy.
[09:02] Wan Boqian
    And such labyrinths must have
    gatekeepers enforcing their rules.
[09:06] Lu Mingfei
    Then who's the gatekeeper here?
[09:08] Wan Boqian
    You'll find out soon.
[09:10] Wan Boqian
    The defining feature of
    an alchemical labyrinth
[09:12] Wan Boqian
    is that it must have a
    rule that allows escape.
[09:14] Wan Boqian
    This is the very foundation of its creation,
[09:16] Wan Boqian
    and not even the gatekeeper can violate it.
[09:18] Lu Mingfei
    Like a Yanling?
[09:20] Gao Mi
    Yes, you've guessed it.
[09:23] Gao Mi
    This is a marvel built
    with dragon technology,
[09:25] Gao Mi
    a labyrinth beneath Shangdu.
[09:29] Gao Mi
    Here, even without food and water,
[09:32] Gao Mi
    you won't age or die.
[09:35] Gao Mi
    You'll simply wither away.
[09:42] Wan Boqian
    Unless you defeat the
    gatekeeper using the rules,
[09:44] Wan Boqian
    no one can leave this place.
[09:47] Lu Mingfei
    So the rules are...
[09:49] Wan Boqian
    Texas hold 'em.
[09:50] Lu Mingfei
    Ah. No wonder you asked if
    I knew how to play cards earlier.
[09:53] Wan Boqian
    Right. We're heading toward
    the gatekeeper now.
[09:57] Wan Boqian
    You have 45 minutes to learn.
[09:59] Lu Mingfei
    What are the stakes in this card game?
[10:02] Wan Boqian
    This train you're on is
    constantly moving forward.
[10:06] Wan Boqian
    As it moves forward, your stake increases.
[10:10] Wan Boqian
    The more you endure the torment of
    loneliness, the more your stake increases.
[10:14] Wan Boqian
    The deeper your sorrow and despair,
    the greater your stake becomes.
[10:18] Wan Boqian
    But you will never die,
[10:21] Wan Boqian
    because your stake is your loneliness.
[10:26] Su Enxi
    Bunny #2 should have
    entered Nibelungen by now, too.
[10:31] Su Enxi
    He must be one of those "can't live
    without being cool" types, right?
[10:34] Su Enxi
    The look on his face before
    entering the subway was like,
[10:37] Su Enxi
    "Ah, I'm just here to catch the train."
[10:40] Sakatoku Mai
    Yeah, the train should be arriving
    soon, based on the schedule.
[10:44] Su Enxi
    Huh? How do you know?
[10:46] Su Enxi
    Do you control the subway in Nibelungen?
[10:48] Sakatoku Mai
    No.
[10:49] Sakatoku Mai
    It's actually quite strange,
[10:51] Sakatoku Mai
    but Nibelungen isn't some kind of illusion.
[10:54] Sakatoku Mai
    It has its own set of rules.
[10:57] Sakatoku Mai
    Each Nibelungen is different,
[10:59] Sakatoku Mai
    but this one miraculously follows
    a set of rules called the
[11:03] Sakatoku Mai
    "Shangdu City Traffic Safety Management
    and Operation Regulations."
[11:06] Su Enxi
    Is Nibelungen controlled
    by the city government?
[11:10] Sakatoku Mai
    No, it means it copies
    some rules from reality.
[11:13] Sakatoku Mai
    It's a distorted reality,
[11:16] Sakatoku Mai
    with interfaces different
    from those in the real world.
[11:23] Sakatoku Mai
    See? It's that simple.
[11:40] Su Enxi
    In that case, our bunny #2 has
    probably boarded the train by now.
[11:46] Su Enxi
    Do you think Chu Zihang, the hidden
    ace specialist of Cassel College,
[11:51] Su Enxi
    will really act according to our plan?
[11:55] Sakatoku Mai
    People like him always operate
    on the fringes of plans.
[11:58] Sakatoku Mai
    Even Renata said that if
    Chu Zihang went all out,
[12:01] Sakatoku Mai
    she might not necessarily win.
[12:03] Su Enxi
    But he's the only one who can
    deal Fenrir a fatal blow.
[12:06] Sakatoku Mai
    Exactly.
[12:08] Sakatoku Mai
    So without him, how else would we
    pave the way for our Lu Mingfei?
[12:22] Chu Zihang OS
    Walking alone in this cold
    rain feels absolutely awful.
[12:27] Chu Zihang OS
    There's no one here,
[12:29] Chu Zihang OS
    and the carriage is dead silent.
[12:31] Chu Zihang OS
    The feeling of being charged to full power
    with no visible opponent is just as terrible.
[12:35] Chu Zihang OS
    Cracks? Looks like the tunnel can't
    withstand the water erosion and is collapsing.
[12:40] Chu Zihang OS
    I'll go check it out.
[12:59] Chu Zihang
    Death Servitors!
[13:04] Chu Zihang
    I know you can't understand me,
[13:07] Chu Zihang
    but all these years...
[13:09] Chu Zihang
    I've longed to see you again!
[13:13] Chu Zihang
    From the heights of Babylon,
[13:16] Chu Zihang
    burn like the sun!
[13:20] Chu Zihang
    Yanling: Ruler's Flames!
[13:39] Chu Zihang
    There's more?
[14:11] Chu Zihang OS
    These things seem completely
    unafraid of death.
[14:14] Chu Zihang OS
    There's no end to them.
[14:16] Chu Zihang OS
    I can't go on like this.
[14:18] Chu Zihang OS
    Looks like I'll have to...
[14:20] Xia Mi
    Yanling: Wind King's Eyes!
[14:27] Xia Mi
    Brother!
[14:29] Chu Zihang
    You...
[14:29] Xia Mi
    Quick! Maximize your domain!
[14:32] Xia Mi
    Spirits inhabiting within, dance with me.
[14:34] Chu Zihang
    From the heights of Babylon,
[14:36] Chu Zihang
    burn like the sun!
[14:38] Xia Mi
    Yanling: Wind King's Eyes!
[14:38] Chu Zihang
    Yanling: Ruler's Flames!
[15:03] Chu Zihang
    Looks like we finished them all off.
[15:05] Xia Mi
    No way! I'm still alive!
[15:09] Xia Mi
    Y-Your clothes?
[15:12] Chu Zihang
    It's fine.
[15:13] Chu Zihang
    They got burned when I used Ruler's Flames.
[15:16] Chu Zihang
    Why are you here?
[15:17] Xia Mi
    I...
[15:18] Xia Mi
    I texted you last night and you didn't reply.
[15:21] Xia Mi
    On a whim...
[15:22] Xia Mi
    I checked your location.
[15:28] Chu Zihang
    How could you check my location?
[15:31] Xia Mi
    The last time I played with your phone,
[15:33] Xia Mi
    I secretly signed up for a location
    tracking service with your carrier!
[15:40] Xia Mi
    All right, all right! It's embarrassing!
[15:43] Xia Mi
    I admit it, so what?
[15:44] Xia Mi
    I saw that you were at Oriental Plaza,
[15:46] Xia Mi
    but it should've been closed by then, so I...
[15:51] Xia Mi
    I suddenly remembered that
    subway legend you told me about...
[15:56] Xia Mi
    You weren't answering your phone,
[15:58] Xia Mi
    and I was worried something
     had happened to you,
[16:00] Xia Mi
    so I came over.
[16:04] Chu Zihang
    Those services are usually
    used by housewives
[16:07] Chu Zihang
    to monitor their husbands.
[16:10] Xia Mi
    What are you laughing at?
[16:11] Xia Mi
    If it weren't for me,
    you'd still be in danger!
[16:13] Xia Mi
    I rushed over in such a hurry.
[16:15] Xia Mi
    Look, I'm still wearing slippers!
[16:23] Chu Zihang
    Thanks.
[16:26] Xia Mi
    By the way, why is the
    subway running this late?
[16:30] Xia Mi
    Where exactly are we?
[16:32] Chu Zihang
    Nibelungen, otherwise known
    as the Land of the Dead.
[16:36] Chu Zihang
    The speculation has finally been confirmed.
[16:38] Chu Zihang
    The true realm of the Dragon Raja
    doesn't exist in reality.
[16:42] Chu Zihang
    It's located in a strange
    dimension called Nibelungen,
[16:45] Chu Zihang
    a self-contained territory built by alchemy.
[16:48] Chu Zihang
    If I'm not mistaken, the City of Bronze that
    Lu Mingfei visited is also a Nibelungen.
[16:53] Chu Zihang
    Once inside, you'll find that it's a lot
    bigger than it appears from the outside.
[16:57] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei said that
    everything inside looks new.
[17:01] Chu Zihang
    This is because time doesn't
    flow within a Nibelungen.
[17:05] Xia Mi
    Then... what are these
    things that attacked us?
[17:09] Chu Zihang
    Death Servitors.
[17:10] Chu Zihang
    Hybrids consumed by dragon bloodlines,
[17:13] Chu Zihang
    somewhere between human and
    dragon, between life and death.
[17:17] Chu Zihang
    They've lost consciousness.
[17:19] Chu Zihang
    They're like wandering spirits.
[17:22] Chu Zihang OS
    I'll probably end up like them...
[17:26] Xia Mi
    But these bones are shaped like birds.
[17:29] Xia Mi
    Bird-shaped Death Servitors?
[17:36] Chu Zihang OS
    So it was just those strange
    birds attacking me tonight,
[17:41] Chu Zihang OS
    not them...
[17:43] Chu Zihang OS
    It was me... unable to let
    go of my inner demons.
[17:47] Xia Mi
    If this is Nibelungen, then the
    Dragon Emperor should be here, too.
[17:52] Xia Mi
    It's a shame we blew up the subway,
[17:54] Xia Mi
    otherwise it would've led us
    to the Dragon Emperor, right?
[17:57] Chu Zihang
    It's fine. We can still follow the tracks.
[18:03] Chu Zihang
    Help me carry this.
[18:03] Xia Mi
    Hey! Brother, are you kidding me?
[18:07] Xia Mi
    I came to save you, wearing
    slippers with no socks!
[18:09] Xia Mi
    And you want me to carry your stuff?
[18:11] Xia Mi
    Have you no humanity?
[18:12] Chu Zihang
    I mean, carrying this box
    is inconvenient for me.
[18:15] Xia Mi
    And it's more convenient for me to carry?
[18:17] Chu Zihang
    What I mean is, if you're not
    comfortable walking in slippers.
[18:20] Chu Zihang
    I can carry you.
[18:27] Lu Mingfei
    We've stopped?
[18:29] Wan Boqian
    Yes, the duel of rules with the
    gatekeeper is about to start again.
[18:37] Gao Mi
    This is the gatekeeper,
    the dealer for the game.
[18:46] Lu Mingfei
    It's... the Wind Devil Queen that
    attacked me in the tunnel!
[18:51] Wan Boqian
    Don't worry. The dealer won't hurt you.
[18:53] Wan Boqian
    If you attack it, it won't retaliate.
[18:55] Wan Boqian
    Just treat it as a machine.
[18:59] Female Wind Devil
    Now, distributing the chips.
[19:10] Lu Mingfei
    Huh? No way.
[19:13] Lu Mingfei
    My chip is just a bottle cap?
[19:15] Lu Mingfei
    I know I'm new and haven't
    accumulated much negativity yet,
[19:17] Lu Mingfei
    but go easy on me, and give me two coins!
[19:21] Gao Mi
    Bottle caps are the highest value chips here,
[19:23] Gao Mi
    each worth 1,000 dark gold coins.
[19:25] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[19:26] Wan Boqian
    Not every newcomer gets that many chips.
[19:29] Wan Boqian
    When Gao Mi and I arrived,
[19:31] Wan Boqian
    we only got one coin each.
[19:33] Wan Boqian
    The dealer reads your state of mind.
[19:35] Wan Boqian
    The more lonely you are,
    the more chips you'll get.
[19:38] Wan Boqian
    Those who lose everything
    must leave immediately,
[19:40] Wan Boqian
    get on a different subway line and
    wander alone in this labyrinth
[19:44] Wan Boqian
    until the next round starts.
[19:47] Lu Mingfei
    No way!
[19:50] Lu Mingfei
    Hey! Am I really that miserable?
[19:52] Female Wind Devil
    Now, let me explain the rules.
[19:54] Female Wind Devil
    Each player is dealt two hole cards,
    and there are five community cards.
[19:58] Female Wind Devil
    The five community cards are
    dealt face up in three stages.
[20:01] Female Wind Devil
    Three cards in the first stage,
    and one card in the next two stages.
[20:03] Female Wind Devil
    Finally, each player selects
    five from the seven cards,
[20:06] Female Wind Devil
    two hole cards and three of
    the five community cards.
[20:09] Female Wind Devil
    The player with the best poker hand wins.
[20:11] Female Wind Devil
    Now... let... the... game... begin.
[20:19] Gao Mi
    Four Queens, I win again.
[20:21] Gao Mi
    Lu Mingfei, it's your turn to
    reveal the cards next round.
[20:24] Lu Mingfei
    Sure.
[20:26] Lu Mingfei OS
    My hole cards are a 3 and a 6.
[20:28] Lu Mingfei OS
    The three dealt community
    cards are a 9, Jack and King.
[20:32] Lu Mingfei OS
    I'll never make a good hand
    with such crappy cards.
[20:39] Lu Mingfei OS
    What's he doing?
[20:40] Lu Mingfei OS
    He looks so angry.
[20:41] Lu Mingze
    This guy's trying to escape with
    his girl by trampling on your back.
[20:48] Lu Mingfei
    Y-Y-You...
[20:49] Lu Mingze
    Of course it's me.
[20:51] Lu Mingze
    I said we should go together,
    but you ignored me.
[20:54] Lu Mingze
    Did you go to the wrong place?
[20:55] Lu Mingze
    Want to switch places?
[20:57] Lu Mingze
    I'll open a portal and get you out.
[20:59] Lu Mingfei
    No thanks.
[21:02] Lu Mingze
    I only taught a few thugs a lesson,
[21:04] Lu Mingze
    and didn't actually kill them.
[21:06] Lu Mingze
    You're treating me like a bad guy.
[21:08] Lu Mingze
    Brother, you can't get
    out of here by yourself.
[21:12] Lu Mingze
    That Gao Mi is really good at math,
[21:14] Lu Mingze
    and he outplayed you.
[21:16] Lu Mingfei
    What do you mean?
[21:18] Lu Mingze
    Let's put it this way.
[21:19] Lu Mingze
    Gao Mi actually wants to beat
    both you and the dealer,
[21:21] Lu Mingze
    and save up enough chips to
    take his girlfriend away.
[21:25] Lu Mingze
    He's actually very happy you came here
[21:27] Lu Mingze
    because you can replace him.
[21:30] Lu Mingfei
    Crap!
[21:31] Lu Mingze
    But don't worry.
[21:32] Lu Mingze
    With me here...
[21:34] Lu Mingze
    With me here, you're invincible.
[21:39] Lu Mingze
    Now go all in!
[21:41] Lu Mingfei
    Do you know how to play cards?
[21:43] Lu Mingfei
    I've only got one dark gold
    chip left, and a crappy hand!
[21:46] Lu Mingfei
    All in, my ass!
[21:48] Lu Mingze
    One chip is like a root.
[21:50] Lu Mingze
    A tree will stay alive as
    long as its roots survive.
[21:53] Lu Mingze
    Some say if you go to Las Vegas with
    a single An dollar and win 28 times,
[21:58] Lu Mingze
    you'd win the entire city.
[22:00] Lu Mingze
    Brother, trust me.
[22:02] Lu Mingze
    Not only will you win the whole city,
[22:06] Lu Mingze
    but you'll win the whole world!

[01:37] Lu Mingze
    One chip is like a root.
[01:39] Lu Mingze
    A tree will stay alive as
    long as its roots survive.
[01:42] Lu Mingze
    Some say if you go to Las Vegas with

[01:46] Lu Mingze

[01:51] Lu Mingze
    Not only will you win the whole city,
[01:53] Lu Mingze
    but you'll win the whole world!
[01:56] Lu Mingze
    Brother, go all in.
[01:59] Lu Mingze
    Come on, Brother.
[02:01] Lu Mingze
    We call this kind of wild victory a Samba!
[02:07] Lu Mingfei
    Fine, bring it on! With you here,
    I couldn't lose even if I tried!
[02:15] Lu Mingfei
    Straight!
[02:17] Gao Mi
    How's that possible?
[02:18] Gao Mi
    He... defies probability
    with every single hand,
[02:22] Gao Mi
    yet wins every single one.
[02:27] Lu Mingfei
    You've lost.
[02:29] Lu Mingfei
    Full house!
[02:31] Lu Mingze
    Brother,
[02:33] Lu Mingze
    we await your final act!
[02:37] Wan Boqian
    He won again.
[02:41] Wind Devil Queen
    Last hand.
[02:43] Wind Devil Queen
    Show your cards.
[02:57] Lu Mingfei
    Royal flush.
[02:59] Lu Mingfei
    Sorry, I won.
[03:01] Wind Devil Queen
    The worst is facing... your nemesis hand!
[03:05] Gao Mi
    You won. According to the rules,
[03:08] Gao Mi
    you can leave anytime.
[03:10] Wan Boqian
    The two of us will be going
    to the next station together.
[03:13] Wan Boqian
    Take care.
[03:32] Lu Mingfei
    Hey, I already won.
[03:34] Wind Devil Queen
    I... I shouldn't have come here...
[03:37] Lu Mingfei
    Why aren't you going?
[03:39] Wind Devil Queen
    It's too late for regrets now.
[03:42] Wind Devil Queen
    Can you leave your hand behind? No, no, no!
[03:46] Wind Devil Queen
    If you leave anything,
    leave behind your life!
[03:49] Lu Mingfei
    What's this?
[03:51] Lu Mingfei
    Where did it go?
[03:56] Lu Mingfei
    It... It must have gone
    back the way it came.
[04:00] Lu Mingfei
    Brother might...
[04:05] Xia Mi
    It's really dark here.
[04:07] Xia Mi
    At least those weird birds
    haven't appeared again.
[04:10] Xia Mi
    Brother, are you tired?
[04:12] Chu Zihang
    I'm fine.
[04:14] Xia Mi
    I wonder how much longer we have to walk.
[04:17] Xia Mi
    We're approaching the next station.
[04:19] Chu Zihang
    Station #102. Should be Squirrel Ridge Road.
[04:23] Chu Zihang
    Give the stuff to me.
[04:25] Chu Zihang
    You'll have to walk from now on.
[04:27] Chu Zihang
    There might be danger on
    the platform. Remember,
[04:29] Chu Zihang
    stay behind me,
[04:31] Chu Zihang
    and don't stray too far.
[04:32] Chu Zihang
    Be ready to use your
     Yanling at any moment.
[04:34] Xia Mi
    Roger! I always follow orders!
[04:38] Chu Zihang
    Let's go.
[04:39] Xia Mi
    Okay!
[04:47] Xia Mi
    This platform...
[04:49] Xia Mi
    feels even more deserted than the last one.
[04:54] Chu Zihang
    Someone was just here.
[04:56] Xia Mi
    How do you know?
[04:57] Chu Zihang
    The lights are still on,
[04:58] Chu Zihang
    and the cards aren't dusty.
[05:00] Chu Zihang
    Death Servitors or other dead
    things don't need lights,
[05:03] Chu Zihang
    and they don't play cards.
[05:04] Chu Zihang
    This shows that someone was here recently.
[05:07] Chu Zihang
    Let's look around.
[05:13] Xia Mi
    Ah! Over there!
[05:14] Xia Mi
    Brother! Look over there!
[05:16] Chu Zihang
    That's a rail inspection vehicle.
[05:17] Chu Zihang
    Haven't you seen one before?
[05:20] Xia Mi
    Brother, you totally misunderstood me!
[05:23] Xia Mi
    With that vehicle, you wouldn't
    have to carry me anymore!
[05:26] Xia Mi
    We can ride it and keep on going.
[05:32] Chu Zihang
    Good idea.
[05:34] Xia Mi
    So fast! This old thing
    actually works pretty well.
[05:38] Xia Mi
    Sailor Chu, full rudder!
[05:40] Xia Mi
    Turn 15 degrees to port! Whoa, accelerate!
[05:47] Xia Mi
    This is boring.
[05:49] Xia Mi
    Brother, can't you play along with me?
[05:52] Chu Zihang
    Sorry.
[05:54] Xia Mi
    By the way,
[05:55] Xia Mi
    with your personality, did anyone
    play with you when you were young?
[06:02] Chu Zihang
    When I was young, Mom and Dad would
    take me to the theme park on weekends.
[06:07] Xia Mi
    That's it?
[06:08] Xia Mi
    Huh... The life of a young master.
[06:10] Xia Mi
    Didn't you have any friends?
[06:12] Chu Zihang
    No. I wasn't very good at playing.
[06:14] Chu Zihang
    If I were as good as you are,
    maybe I would've had friends.
[06:19] Xia Mi
    I didn't have any friends either.
[06:23] Xia Mi
    Harder! Harder! Faster!
[06:26] Xia Mi
    Because I didn't have any friends,
    I had to play by myself.
[06:30] Xia Mi
    My parents always said I was a bit crazy.
[06:32] Xia Mi
    Anyway, they were always busy
    taking care of my brother,
[06:36] Xia Mi
    so I just played on my own.
[06:48] Chu Zihang
    I hope this wraps up by noon tomorrow.
[06:52] Chu Zihang
    I'll go home with you and
    explain to your family.
[06:54] Xia Mi
    What?
[06:56] Xia Mi
    Are you messing with me?
[06:57] Chu Zihang
    Huh?
[06:58] Xia Mi
    If I stay out all night and bring
    a guy home the next morning saying,
[07:01] Xia Mi
    "Hey, this is my brother,"
[07:03] Xia Mi
    my dad would just slap us both.
[07:06] Xia Mi
    Explanation, my ass!
[07:10] Chu Zihang
    Sorry, I...
[07:13] Xia Mi
    What's wrong?
[07:15] Chu Zihang
    Can you have a look at my shoulder blade?
[07:17] Xia Mi
    Hey! Trying to show off your
    powerful shoulder muscles?
[07:21] Xia Mi
    I already admired them on
    the way here. So exciting!
[07:24] Xia Mi
    I'll have another look then.
[07:26] Xia Mi
    A birthmark?
[07:28] Xia Mi
    How mysterious.
[07:30] Xia Mi
    It looks like the College's emblem.
[07:33] Xia Mi
    Does it hurt?
[07:34] Chu Zihang
    No, it just feels hot.
[07:37] Chu Zihang
    I wasn't born with this.
[07:40] Chu Zihang
    It appeared suddenly
    after my dad left me.
[07:45] Chu Zihang
    What was that sound?
[07:46] Chu Zihang
    Did you hear it?
[07:49] Xia Mi
    No.
[07:51] Xia Mi
    One hundred? What does that mean?
[07:54] Chu Zihang
    Not one hundred.
[07:55] Chu Zihang
    It's the next station's number.
[07:57] Chu Zihang
    The Shangdu subway station numbers
    increase from west to east.
[08:00] Chu Zihang
    The easternmost number is
    100, meaning Station #0.
[08:06] Chu Zihang OS
    Station #0? How could it be Station #0?
[08:10] Xia Mi
    Brother, what's wrong?
[08:11] Chu Zihang OS
    Even if there are two unused stations,
[08:14] Chu Zihang OS
    no one would name them
    Station #0 or Station #-1.
[08:17] Chu Zihang
    Stop. We... can't go any further.
[08:38] Chu Zihang OS
    #0...
[08:41] Chu Zihang OS
    So that's it.
[08:43] Chu Zihang OS
    Everything's finally connected.
[08:45] Chu Zihang OS
    I can still smell that rainy night.
[08:48] Chu Zihang OS
    Because on that night,
[08:51] Chu Zihang OS
    I was also in Nibelungen,
    the Land of the Dead.
[09:01] Lu Mingfei
    How long is this tunnel?
[09:02] Lu Mingfei
    Why haven't I reached the end?
[09:04] Lu Mingfei
    At least I haven't seen any Wind Devils.
[09:08] Lu Mingfei
    Gao Mi and Wan Boqian are still
    stuck in that infinite loop.
[09:12] Lu Mingfei
    I hope they're okay.
[09:18] Gao Mi
    Sorry, I thought this was our chance.
[09:22] Gao Mi
    I didn't expect Lu Mingfei to...
[09:24] Wan Boqian
    It's okay. We'll find a way out eventually.
[09:29] Gao Mi
    If... I mean, if...
[09:31] Wan Boqian
    I forgot to give the thing to Lu Mingfei.
[09:34] Wan Boqian
    I recorded everything we found out these
    past few days on a voice recorder.
[09:38] Wan Boqian
    I should've given it to Lu Mingfei earlier,
[09:41] Wan Boqian
    so people outside can...
[09:42] Gao Mi
    Once Lu Mingfei gets out, he'll get
    the College to rescue us, right?
[09:48] Wan Boqian
    Wind Devils?
[09:49] Wan Boqian
    They're back!
[09:50] Gao Mi
    It'll be fine.
[09:51] Gao Mi
    Because of the rules,
[09:53] Gao Mi
    they won't attack this train.
[09:55] Gao Mi
    As long as the rule-maker doesn't change,
[09:57] Gao Mi
    we'll be absolutely safe here.
[10:00] Gao Mi
    Don't worry. We'll definitely
[10:02] Gao Mi
    get out of here alive together.
[10:08] Lu Mingfei
    If those two make it out, they'll
    probably get married straightaway.
[10:13] Lu Mingfei
    What can I do when I get out?
[10:16] Lu Mingfei
    Perhaps get Finger to give
    a symbolic howl or two.
[10:19] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe even get a free late-night snack.
[10:39] Lu Mingfei
    A platform?
[10:41] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe there's an exit!
[10:54] Lu Mingfei
    It doesn't look like there's a door.
[10:59] Lu Mingfei
    It's solid rock.
[11:01] Lu Mingfei
    Who on earth built this
    impenetrable platform?
[11:07] Lu Mingfei
    What's happening?
    This damn place is collapsing!
[11:32] Lu Mingfei
    A dragon?
[11:34] Lu Mingfei
    There's...
[11:35] Lu Mingfei
    There really is a dragon!
[11:44] Zero
    There's no one in the mall.
[11:45] Caesar
    This place has been closed for ages.
[11:47] Caesar
    It should be the old site
    of the gunpowder bureau.
[11:49] Caesar
    Hey, Nono,
[11:51] Caesar
    is Xia Mi with you for today's recon mission?
[11:54] Caesar
    I'll wait for you on the first floor.
[11:55] Nono
    I'm on the fourth floor.
[11:56] Nono
    I haven't seen Xia Mi today.
[11:58] Nono
    Don't wait for me. I'll head
    back on my own after we're done.
[12:01] Caesar
    Okay.
[12:02] Caesar
    Zero, you take the left side of the mall.
[12:05] Caesar
    Make sure to check carefully.
[12:07] Zero
    Roger. I'll contact you if I find anything.
[12:11] Caesar
    Although this mission came
    from the school board,
[12:14] Caesar
    they're merely puppets of the Gattuso family.
[12:17] Caesar
    I'll hunt down the Dragon Emperor
    myself and cut off its head.
[12:20] Caesar
    I want the future where I obtain its bones.
[12:27] Tang Sen
    Caesar!
[12:29] Tang Sen
    Lu Mingfei showed me your picture.
[12:31] Tang Sen
    Hello. I'm Tang Sen, Lu Mingfei's friend.
[12:34] Tang Sen
    I'm also here to find the Dragon Emperor.
[12:35] Caesar
    Are you a hybrid?
[12:36] Tang Sen
    Yeah.
[12:37] Caesar
    Hello!
[12:39] Caesar
    You look... fantastic in that dragon robe!
[12:44] Tang Sen
    It was a group purchase, super cheap!
[12:47] Tang Sen
    What's that?
[12:48] Caesar
    This compass is used by
    feng shui masters
[12:49] Caesar
    in Xinguo to calculate the time and probe
    the earth's veins. Truly mysterious.
[12:54] Tang Sen
    Oh, is it spinning so fast
    because it's happy we're here?
[12:58] Caesar
    No.
[12:59] Caesar
    It isn't used for detecting
    the presence of idiots.
[13:03] Caesar
    It's spinning so fast because there's
    a magnetic vortex beneath our feet.
[13:11] Lu Mingfei OS
    Is... Is it considering where to bite?
[13:16] Lu Mingfei
    Is it really a dragon?
[13:18] Lu Mingfei
    It's behaving just like a cat!
[13:22] Lu Mingfei
    A giant cat!
[13:32] Lu Mingfei OS
    D-D-Don't move!
[13:33] Lu Mingfei OS
    I can't run now.
[13:35] Lu Mingfei OS
    If I run, it'll know I'm scared
    and will chase me and bite my ass.
[13:40] Lu Mingfei OS
    Bro, if you're gonna eat me,
    swallow me whole.
[13:43] Lu Mingfei OS
    Whatever you do, don't chew.
[13:45] Fenrir
    You win!
[13:47] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[13:49] Fenrir
    What should we play next?
[13:51] Lu Mingfei
    We can play anything,
[13:53] Lu Mingfei
    just don't play the meat skewer game!
[14:06] Fenrir
    For you.
[14:09] Lu Mingfei
    Potato chips?
[14:10] Lu Mingfei
    Thank God... I mean, the Dragon Emperor!
[14:22] Fenrir
    Potato chips are the most
    delicious thing in the world.
[14:27] Lu Mingfei
    Acting so cute...
[14:30] Lu Mingfei
    Are you five years old?
[14:32] Lu Mingfei OS
    This giant's hindquarters are
    fused with the stone wall,
[14:35] Lu Mingfei OS
    and his whole body is covered in iron scales.
[14:39] Lu Mingfei OS
    No matter how sharp the
    Seven Deadly Sins are,
[14:41] Lu Mingfei OS
    they're just pencil sharpeners to him.
[14:43] Fenrir
    You're no fun at all.
[14:46] Fenrir
    But you're good at playing
    cards. I can't beat you.
[14:50] Fenrir
    Let's... watch TV.
[14:55] Su Enxi
    It's 8 PM.
[14:57] Su Enxi
    The two bunnies have been
    in Nibelungen for a day now.
[15:01] Sakatoku Mai
    Time flows differently inside Nibelungen.
[15:04] Sakatoku Mai
    Maybe only an hour has passed.
[15:07] Su Enxi
    Even if it's an hour,
[15:08] Su Enxi
    bunny #1 should have entered
    the wolf's den by now.
[15:11] Su Enxi
    I wonder how he'll handle it.
[15:13] Sakatoku Mai
    No idea.
[15:15] Sakatoku Mai
    But whatever happens,
[15:17] Sakatoku Mai
    he probably won't end up
    watching TV with a dragon.
[15:26] Lu Mingfei OS
    He... really is just a kid.
[15:32] Lu Mingfei OS
    These bottle caps and cardboard boxes
    must be his treasured collection.
[15:37] Lu Mingfei OS
    This dragon built an alchemical
    labyrinth to live in,
[15:42] Lu Mingfei OS
    like a child holed up in their bedroom,
[15:47] Lu Mingfei OS
    and I'm here to kill him?
[15:50] Lu Mingfei OS
    Wait! If he's trapped here,
[15:53] Lu Mingfei OS
    how could there be potato chips and a TV?
[15:56] Lu Mingfei OS
    This dragon's spine is fused to
    the stone wall, and he can't move.
[16:01] Lu Mingfei OS
    He's being...
[16:04] Lu Mingfei OS
    kept here!
[16:07] Lu Mingfei OS
    So hot!
[16:25] Chu Zihang OS
    Dad,
[16:27] Chu Zihang OS
    it's been six years.
[16:29] Chu Zihang OS
    Let this dragon's blood
[16:31] Chu Zihang OS
    be the key that takes me to Odin!
[16:34] Lu Mingfei
    Brother?
[16:36] Lu Mingfei
    Crap, it's Blood Rage!
[16:37] Lu Mingfei
    You wanna die?
[16:49] Lu Mingfei
    Brother turned the car into a bomb.
[17:01] Fenrir
    Don't attack me!
[17:02] Fenrir
    Don't attack me!
[17:07] Lu Mingfei
    Is this thing really a dragon?
[17:09] Lu Mingfei
    With this level of intelligence?
[17:18] Chu Zihang
    Blood Rage!
[17:29] Lu Mingfei
    Blood Rage again?
[17:31] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, do you really wanna die?
[17:32] Chu Zihang
    Ruler's Flames!
[17:40] Lu Mingfei
    Brother, no, no! You'll...
[17:46] Lu Mingfei
    What's happening?
[17:47] Lu Mingfei
    The oxygen around me is
    suddenly being sucked away.
[17:55] Xia Mi
    Spirits inhabiting within, dance with me.
[18:11] Lu Mingfei
    Using wind...
[18:13] Lu Mingfei
    to remove Brother's Ruler's Flames.
[18:16] Lu Mingfei
    Those two really are a perfect match!
[18:54] Xia Mi
    Brother, it's time.
[18:57] Chu Zihang
    Lu Mingfei! Get down!
[19:00] Chu Zihang
    Yanling: Ruler's Flames!
[19:00] Xia Mi
    Yanling: Wind King's Eyes!
[19:26] Xia Mi
    Brother! He's not dead yet!
[19:29] Chu Zihang
    The dragon's still alive,
[19:30] Chu Zihang
    so the mission isn't over!
[19:48] Chu Zihang
    Superbia!
[19:50] Chu Zihang
    Avaritia!
[19:52] Xia Mi
    Brother, I'll use the wind
    to carry you into the air!
[20:20] Chu Zihang
    With me here, it'll be fine.
[21:30] Lu Mingfei
    He's dead.
[21:32] Lu Mingfei
    Brother... slew the Dragon Emperor!
[21:41] Chu Zihang
    Xia Mi!
[21:52] Chu Zihang
    Thank you.
[21:56] Xia Mi
    Brother...
[21:59] Xia Mi
    You never suspected.
