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

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!
