[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.

Episode 2
[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.
[02:25] OS announcer
Typhoon emergency alert.
[02:27] OS announcer
This year's typhoon number 0407, "Dandelion,"
[02:30] OS announcer
will make landfall on the east coast
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?

[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

[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.

[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.

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.

[03:52] 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.

Episode 8
[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.

[01:37] Lu Mingfei
So, it's not worth much, then.
[01:40] Tang Sen
There's probably nothing valuable inside.
[01:43] Lu Mingfei

[02:13] Lu Mingfei
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.

Episode 11
[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
Correct.
[01:48] Henkel
But we're not sure if you

[02:06] 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.

[16:17] 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!

[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!

Episode 14
[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,

[02:09] 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?
[07:45] Finger
Only two drinks for economy?
[07:47] Finger
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.

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.

[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.

[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?

[18:59] Chu Zihang
The calculations are done?
[19:03] Chu Zihang
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!

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
a single An dollar and win 28 times,
[01:46] Lu Mingze
you'd win the entire city.
[01:49] Lu Mingze
Brother, trust me.
[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.
