[Episode 19]

Do you think Brother Wild Fire will die?

Definitely not!

Can you promise that?

Of course.

Chief Zhao is always a man of his word.

He definitely can ensure your security

and his safety as well.

I'll go down and check.

You guys stay in the car.

You have never learned how to fight aboveboard, have you?

In terms of speed,

no one is better than me in the Underworld.

Although I cannot beat you,

you can never catch me as well.

Do you think you have a chance to win?

Brother Chu!

Get back! It's dangerous here!

Brother Chu!

You, stop!

Do you still have time to care about others?

So much fresh nourishment.

The boss would be very happy about this.

This is another familiar face.

You are...

Bobby.

I initially hoped

you would crash and burn with all of them.

I didn't expect you were weak like this.

You are indeed Xiaojie's real brother.

You know my brother?

Of course.

My dear brother,

when you read this letter,

your useless brother had already left the world.

How do you know what was written in my brother's note?

"I'm useless."

"I couldn't save you."

"I'm ashamed to see you, my brother."

"I can only go on ahead."

How do you know that!

Obviously,

I have read it.

Brother,

I'm useless.

Just for our family, you worked hard

and got into a car accident.

I couldn't even make enough money to treat you,

and I'm even making you suffer from debts as well.

I am so ashamed to face you.

I can only go on ahead.

Maybe I should consider other solutions.

Hold on.

Why don't you just die?

Who are you?

I don't know what you should call me either,

but you don't need to know anyway.

I initially planned

to absorb energy from your body.

But you being this badly scarred,

there must be no nourishment.

It's you who wanted to die.

I'm just helping you kindly.

I didn't only read it,

but also pressed a

big fingerprint on it.

It's you who killed my brother.

I only wanted to do a small experiment.

I just want to see

how long a human's hatred could last.

You son of a bitch!

Chief Zhao asked you to leave Dragon City.

Why did you come back?

If I don't see these kids get to their destination safely,

I'm not at ease.

Also, this guy is not yet killed.

I won't just keep myself safe.

I left your life for you to enjoy longer,

but you prefer to die instead.

Do you seriously think that I didn't see through your little tricks?

I'm just looking for a chance

to kill you altogether.

Wild Fire...

I know I've wrongly accused you for a long time,

but I beg you,

please take revenge for my dead brother.

Stop!

Boss Zhou of the fighting arena is not a fool at all.

He was afraid of you boxers avenging when you discovered the truth,

so he hid a little present in your prizes.

What a pity.

He just did me a favor.

I've told you clearly

to not touch the Sacred Items too frequently.

Or else, the dark energy will—

Corrode my body.

I hope you can help me find Zhu Jiu.

Little Guo! Little Guo!

Old Chu...

Old Chu!

Old Chu!

This is just the beginning.

Old Chu...

I've noticed that I easily get dizzy recently.

This is really not a good thing.

You touched the Sacred Item again, didn't you

It was a fluke that I was able to see that

the Sacred Item can help us fight against Zhu Jiu.

I didn't expect

it was damn useless.

How do you feel now?

Nothing.

I might have had a dream just now.

The dream was about Old Chu, Little Guo, and Wild Fire.

It seems they all died.

Died?

That might not be a dream.

Last time,

in the archives room of Underworld Monarch Palace,

I'd consulted a lot of codes and records.

They were all about

the reaction of ordinary people who were infected with dark energy.

It's reported in one example that the victim

was diagnosed with the symptoms of temporal dysfunction after he was infected with the dark energy.

Sometimes, he can hear or see the scenarios which are out of the timeline.

It can be the past or the future.

So the dream you had

is more likely to be a premonition.

Today is the Reunion Festival (also called Mid-Autumn Festival).

There are so many cases recently.

Who can still remember the holidays?

Right.

If Zhu Jiu is not uprooted,

we won't be in the mood to enjoy the festival.

Your nose is bleeding!

What is the time now?

How long has Old Chu been gone?

Around 5 or 6 hours.

Right. It's not really a thousand-mile trip,

why is it taking them so long?

Call them.

I have called, but it's out of the service area.

Chief Zhao,

we received an anonymous email.

Chief Zhao. Professor Shen.

Take a guess at where we are.

I'll be frank.

If you want to save their lives,

hand me the Longevity Dial and Mountain-River Awl.

Do you want the people or the precious treasures,

you make the choice?

Time is limited.

I need to receive your reply today.

What should we do?

The Sacred Items can't end up in their hands,

but we have to rescue

Little Guo and Old Chu.

The only way is to arrest Zhu Jiu

and ask for the location.

Professor Shen,

it's easy to say that.

This guy is like a loach.

He can escape with any light.

How can we catch him?

It seems there is only one way.

No-Nothing! There's nothing!

You want them to locate you?

Save it.

There are thousands of lab rooms like this in Dragon City.

I have already given them the option.

Try guessing what your chief's choice will be.

One minute?

If we want to fulfill this goal, we should ensure he is alone,

with no backup.

- So...- I'll go.

But I need to borrow a person from you.

Me?

No wonder you are an expert at fire.

With such a violent explosion,

despite being in the center of it, you're still hanging on.

He will die if you leave him like that!

You have to bandage him right now!

This is a laboratory.

There must be tools here.

I am a killer, not a lifesaver.

I know nothing about bandaging.

I do!

I did emergency bandage training.

After saying so much, don't you just want me to untie you?

It's okay to save him.

You have to die here.

Deal!

You...

Acting like a saint is a disease.

Go get some treatment.

What you want is torture.

Him dying like that is too simple.

Better let him feel that living is more unbearable than death.

That is what you call torture.

You are right.

You know me well.

No wonder you are Chu Shuzhi who had committed taboo crimes in the Underworld.

You, simply treat his wound.

Go!

What's wrong?

This is the first case Chief Zhao has recently given me.

I never thought it would be with you.

Don't you think I am so funny?

I don't.

Stop pretending.

Everyone can see it.

I like Zhao Yunlan.

I don't know what he is thinking,

as this is so obvious,

but he still pretends knowing nothing about it.

I don't know too much about love.

But based on the aspect of bioengineering,

at least three days,

at most three years,

dopamine and norepinephrine

will stop secreting.

Maybe at that time,

you won't have any affection toward him anymore.

At most three years?

That's really short.

I really want to know if there is any affection in this world that can last permanently.

Friendship?

Like how you and Zhao Yunlan are going through thick and thin together.

Maybe.

You are a huge deterrent.

I dare not untie you.

But...

if you can forsake the darkness for light,

work for the Boss with me...

Who is the Boss?

I understand you.

From your eyes, I can see that

you distrust humans.

How about it?

Fight against humans with me.

Defeat that stupid Black Robe Envoy.

Let us Undergrounders find a new, bright era together!

Brother Chu!

What a pity!

Saying "stupid" all the time.

- You mean yourself, right?- You!

- Not strong enough.- Do you want to die?

We choose our people.

Get ready to take your Sacred Items.

So straightforward.

But you know

I can't enter Special Investigations.

The exchange won't be happening here.

We will notify you of the location.

I am going to work now.

You guys stay here obediently

and watch the door.

By the way,

I said earlier

that this is a laboratory.

It's full name is

absolute zero laboratory.

So, the temperature here

will decrease gradually,

until you all are frozen into ice.

You are sly!

You didn't plan to leave us alive at the beginning!

Isn't it obvious enough?

Boy,

you are too naive.

So naive that I feel disgusted.

Have a nice day.

Changcheng, forget about it!

Come and untie us first!

Hurry! Why are you just standing there?!

It's all right. It's all right.

Just zero temperature.

It's always below zero degrees during winter here in Dragon City.

It's not the same thing.

Absolute zero is a thermodynamic concept.

It is equal to around negative 270 degrees.

It seems this time,

we are over.

Fourth Uncle!

There is a guest.

Who is it?

Choosing to come here during dinner time.

Aren't you that Black—

I am the new consultant of Special Investigations.

My name is Shen Wei.

Sir Shen, welcome.

Is there anything you want to see me about?

Fourth Uncle,

why you are so respectful to a consultant?

Shut up.

Fourth Uncle,

I'm sure you've heard of

the conflict between Special Investigations and some careerist

has been heating up.

However, behind this careerist is a shadow of a Demi-human elder.

You are also an elder of a Demi-human tribe.

I hope...

you can slightly constrain her movements.

Even if it's just for several hours,

it may influence the whole battle situation.

It's easy to say but hard to do.

Besides, we Snake Tribe

stand aloof from worldly success all the time.

No matter how violent the conflict is,

it has nothing to do with our tribe.

I knew you would say something like this,

so I brought a colleague here.

Hong?

Fourth Uncle,

how can you say that there is no relationship with you?

Don't forget

that I am a member of Special Investigations!

I knew I shouldn't have let you go back.

Your wings have grown firm and you're now siding with outsiders.

You're helping your leader to put me into a difficult spot now, is that it?

Fourth Uncle,

please agree to my request.

Fourth Uncle,

Elder Ya Qing is famous for being vengeful.

If we stand for the wrong side—

Do I need you to tell me that?

Where is the flower fragrance coming from?

You old worm!

You are growing backward!

You behave just like a coward!

You smelly bud!

You have the nerve to criticize me?

The position of the supreme elder of the Demi-humans has been vacant for decades.

The direction of the tribe was made by

the three of us together.

We decided to rehabilitate at that time.

You clapped your hands in approval, didn't you?

- We three—- What three are you talking about?

What did Ya Qing do?

Don't tell me you never heard about it.

She's chosen the wrong way.

We have to pull her back.

Fourth Uncle.

Fine.

Zhao Yunlan is an expert in making traps.

If I were you,

I would consider it cautiously.

This is the reason why

I am the executor

and you

can only hide in the shadow

delivering messages surreptitiously.

Don't forget who saved you in Special Investigations.

All right.

I don't believe I would lose to him every time.

Besides,

do I have time to consider?

So I...

There is an interim meeting among our Demi-human tribe.

I have to go.

- Then go.- But you—

You don't need to make a fuss about me.

Don't forget.

I'm the lucky child personally

chosen by the Boss.

I hope...

you can be lucky forever.

Brother Chu...

It's negative 10 degrees now.

We can't keep going like this.

We must come up with some solutions soon.

Why am I so unfortunate?

Oddly getting involved in this trouble with you guys somehow.

Because you are the best whistleblower of Dragon City.

The stronger you are,

the more responsibility you will have.

Say,

I remember that above you, don't you still have

the Planetary Supervision Bureau and Seastar Administration?

You're doing such a huge thing.

Have you asked for permission from them?

I think... we probably did.

This...

it doesn't matter.

If the sky falls,

we have Chief Zhao.

Brother Chu, do you know how to close this?

It will be done if we can close this.

Stop worrying about that. It can't be closed.

Look carefully. The switch has to be in this room!

Good job, boy.

You should make this decision carefully.

You're planning to do a huge thing that will concern thousands of families in this city.

Especially today, it is the Reunion Festival.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.

What we're doing is also for the security of Dragon City.

We can be understood.

Yes, we can be understood.

Wait a minute!

What's wrong now?

Nothing...

Bro... Brother Chu.

Th-There is a button here.

"Stop" is written on it.

I don't know what it is used for.

This is the switch!

The switch!

What's wrong?

A box like this cannot be opened again once you close it!

Next,

we just need to wait for night to arrive.

Who dares to trick me?

Sister Qing!

I knew it.

There is still a place in your heart for the Demi-humans.

As you've come,

you don't have to leave in a hurry, right?

Stay for a cup of wine.

You colluded with outsiders

to go against me.

What are you saying?

It was clearly you who colluded with outsiders

and brought us trouble.

Sister Qing,

you should quit now.

Master of the Guardians and Black Robe Envoy

already have a perfect plan to deal with Zhu Jiu.

You won't benefit from it.

We'll express more sincerity.

Inviting Elder Ya Qing to stay here and celebrate the festival with us.

I can't sleep.

I can't sleep.

If I fall asleep,

I will... never.. be awake again.

Hold on.

It seems

I can only use this method.

Brother Huo...

What are you doing?

No matter how hard it is, you can't set yourself on fire.

Sorry.

I've done my best.

Just save some energy

for using after we escape.

Brother Chu...

I...

feel so hot.

I feel so hot.

So hot.

Changcheng.

It's just an illusion.

Your body temperature regulator...

Your central nervous system is now numb.

Brother Chu.

Zhu Jiu said...

you've committed a taboo case.

What is that?

Forget about that now.

When we get out,

I will tell you.

I reckon

we won't be able to get out.

Nonsense!

We can get out.

Don't say nonsense.

Brother Chu...

I'm very happy that I'm able to join Special Investigations.

I am so happy to know you.

Thank you for regarding me as your little brother,

and taking care of me,

protecting me.

Thank you.

Wake up!

I don't want you to be like my little brother.

You're still...

Changcheng.

Changcheng, wake up!

Changcheng.

Put this on.

Changcheng.

Changcheng.

Changcheng, wake up.

It will be okay. We'll be fine.

Chief Zhao.

Professor Shen.

Long time no see.

You want to go back with your promise?

Don't get us wrong.

We just want to have a talk with you.

What's your plot?

I can leave at any time.

You can't catch me.

Of course.

Dude Zhu Jiu,

do you know what day today is?

Today is the Reunion Festival.

The conflict between us has been lasting... for half a year, right?

It's time to end it.

As long as you give me the Sacred Items,

I promise

to give you an end.

But we are impatient to wait.

Want to catch me?

It won't be that easy.

Right now.

Cong Bo!

Old Brother Black.

All right.

It's enough to keep you till now.

The mission of the Boss.

After finishing my mission,

I will come back and deal with you guys.

Smelly bud.

Don't you think it's darker tonight?

Run.

So smart of you.

Such a big move!

Of course.

Who are you?

For you,

we've sacrificed one minute of Dragon City.

The victor is king, the loser a bandit.

I have nothing to say.

Too bad,

I didn't kill you, a bane.

There's one thing that keeps puzzling me.

How come

you hate me so much?

Do you remember me?
