[Episode 20]

Do you remember who I am?

Were you listening to me?

Leader, I...

I'm your Leader.

Can you tell me what you've been doing lately? Why are you acting weird?

Leader.

I'm not.

I don't think trash like you can do anything, either.

Leader!

I heard Black Robe Envoy,

he...

he is a traitor.

How dare you!

Is Lord Black Robe Envoy

someone that trash like you can casually insult?

You think you can be a hero?

You are total shit!

Get out!

Get out!

I'll prove that

you are all wrong.

Are you here?

Young man,

I knew you'd come back.

What should I do?

I will make you a great hero of the whole Underworld

as long as you can prove your determination.

Try looking down on me again!

Is it so pleasurable to bully people without powers, huh?

So what if you have supernatural power?

Aren't you still dying in my hands?

Zhu Jiu, let me tell you.

You are totally a useless wretch who has no capability to awaken

your supernatural power.

I'll become a hero of the whole Underworld!

He has killed someone! A killer!

Don't move!

Don't escape!

Stop!

Black Robe Envoy...

You killed someone.

It's his fault!

He suppressed us with violence.

It's him who went too far!

As Black Robe Envoy, can't you see it?

You killed him,

so come back with me to the Underground Monarch Palace.

Sir Black Robe Envoy,

I heard that

it's you who makes us dwell here,

unable to live on the surface.

The battle of 10,000 years ago brought misery to all living creatures.

It's a hard-won peace.

We came back as we ought to be here.

However,

what's the use of telling you these things?

It's really you, the traitor of Underworld!

The centipede goes on wriggling when he's already dead.

It seems you have been bewitched by the prisoner in the pillar.

I have to kill the roots of sins in the cradle

before he gets hold of them.

Professor Shen, you—

It's urgent to save Old Chu and Little Guo first.

Let's just discuss other matters some other time.

What about Zhu Jiu?

He's still in a coma, but he is showing signs of waking up.

He is hurt too much.

He won't have much time if he goes on like this.

But we still have a lot of questions to ask him.

Moreover, Lin Jing is absent.

Even if he was here,

it would also be hopeless to save him.

That heartless leader.

He said he would take all responsibility even if the sky fell down.

The one who should complain is me.

I am a dignified whistleblower of Dragon City.

Why am I here?!

Behave yourself.

No whispering.

Hurry and write!

I will definitely let Black Robe Envoy

pay the price!

If you are willing to work for me,

I promise you.

I will definitely let him pay the price.

Okay.

From now on, you are my boss.

As long as you can fulfill your promise,

I'll give everything to you.

Give everything to you.

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

Everyone thinks us snakes are good at poison, but forget that medicine and poison are from the same source.

This medicine can restore a person's energy.

Let him temporarily be rejuvenated and maintain his life for a while.

Great.

You can make poisons?

I can't. This was left behind by an old doctor in our tribe.

I left it by my side for fun, and then almost forgot it.

You may have misunderstood the words "for fun"?

Zhu Hong, this time you have helped us a lot.

It's you who was in the battle to arrest Zhu Jiu.

I'd be ashamed if I just stood aside.

We still don't know where Old Chu and Little Guo have been kept.

Hand me the Longevity Dial and Mountain-River Awl.

If I were Zhu Jiu,

I wouldn't have just simply hidden them.

- Be quiet!- Time is limited.

Today— If you want the people...

Listen!

B-Bombs!

That's not a bomb. That's a firecracker.

Firecrackers are banned in the urban area.

If firecrackers can be heard,

they must be in the suburbs.

The time when firecrackers can be set off is also different.

From the time we lost contact with Old Chu to the time we received the email from Zhu Jiu,

my estimate was around 3:00 to 5:00 yesterday afternoon.

Wang Zheng,

find the places allowing firecrackers from 3:00 to 5:00 yesterday afternoon.

Zhu Hong,

search laboratories in the suburb which are registered but currently vacant.

Changcheng! Changcheng! Changcheng!

Don't sleep! Wake up!

Changcheng! Changcheng!

Wake up!

Wake up.

Am I dead?

Is this... Heaven?

Or hell?

What happened?

The power is out.

Power is out.

Thank you.

You are...

Hello, I'm from the Planetary Supervision Bureau.

- Ah, nice to meet you.- Hello.

Chief Zhao asked me to take them away.

It's okay. Go ahead, please.

As for these two, feel free to hand them to me.

We're all right.

Little Guo! Little Guo!

Please leave with peace.

We will hold a grand memorial service for you.

Utter nonsense.

Don't tell me you didn't see it.

This guy fainted from hunger. What a real loser.

Ah? Second Uncle?

Did the reunion dinner start?

What's left...

are those who are writing a confession statement at the moment.

They'll be all right.

Never look down on a cat that has lived for 10,000 years.

He is good at pretending.

Hey, dinner time!

Absurd!

In order to catch a criminal,

is it necessary to make such a big move?

How dare they pretend to be the staff of the Planetary Supervision Bureau

and take those detained suspects out ahead of time?

Unorganized and undisciplined!

- Minister.- Enough.

I know you'll make excuses for them.

You nephew is one of them.

This time, I will never tolerate it!

Not that, Minister, someone is here.

Enough!

No matter who's pleading will not work.

What? You won't see me, either?

Brother Zhao!

You're here. Come.

- Sit down, please. - I'll leave you two.

Sit down, please.

Old Gao, not that I want to lecture you,

but you are too muddled.

You shouldn't discount Zhu Jiu as insignificant.

He has been lurking in Dragon City for many years,

he is unpredictable, and has gotten involved in several serious cases.

What Special Investigations are doing is a good thing,

and an important thing as well.

This responsibility, I'll bear it for him.

I do personally appreciate Yunlan.

But he has boundless imagination and loves to employ surprising ideas.

This is totally unlike you, Brother Zhao.

Yes, he's not like me.

He is too obstinate.

Yes, that's it!

I still do trust him.

Moreover, there is a well-behaved Professor Shen assisting him now.

There should be no trouble.

Anyway, follow Zhu Jiu's case closely.

How about we do this?

I'll ask him to debrief me here tonight with Professor Shen.

I'll warn him again.

I think that's feasible.

By the way,

I came here today to see the results of the research department.

- Okay. - And here, Director-General Zhao.

This is the result of three months?

Director Zhao,

our experiment has certain processes and steps.

We can't be impatient.

Our experiment is also to protect the people.

We can't allow any delay.

Professor Ouyang,

you should know we're now in an unusual period

and what we're facing.

So,

please be sure to speed up the progress.

Even though we're in an unusual period,

it's also necessary to take the right methods,

or we'd be in endless trouble.

Sorry, I'm joking.

Director Zhao,

we got it.

Thanks.

What happened to you?

Nothing important. An old disease.

Do you need to go to see a doctor?

No, thanks.

Can't you behave?

Dumplings time. Fresh dumplings, still hot.

Brother Chu, Wild Fire was really badly hurt. Is he really fine?

Do not worry and eat.

I've sent him to the burn department of Dragon City Hospital.

Okay...

I think our boss is too carefree.

Such things happened yesterday, and he could behave nonchalantly after a night!

You should be glad that we can catch a reunion dinner for the mid-autumn festival.

Though it has nothing to do with us cats,

it's quite fun.

Fun?

Don't mind him. He's always like that.

- Pour me the wine.- Sit down. Sit down.

So nice.

This must be the feeling of home.

Well, hurry and sit down.

Have your meal before this felon wakes up.

Or else, there'll be no chance to eat.

Hey, hey! What are you doing? You two!

The leader has not spoken yet and you guys have begun?

So, say something, Mr. Leader.

Okay, I'll talk a few words first.

Fine. Just eat.

You told me that my dream might be a premonition.

But now, it seems it was just an ordinary nightmare.

We changed the future by accident this time.

What about the next time?

As long as people want to enter a wormhole,

if the wormhole is achieved,

an expensive price must be paid.

Hey, what are you whispering about?

Nothing. Nothing important.

Professor Shen said he wanted to say a few words to everyone.

- Come on, welcome!- Come, say it!

Chief Zhao said earlier...

to not hesitate to eat. He would go buy more if there's not enough.

Great!

I'm afraid there's no more time for you to eat.

Seastar Administration called just now

asking Chief Zhao and Professor Shen to do a debriefing.

The car picking you up is already at the door.

Interrogate Zhu Jiu once he wakes.

There is not much time left for us.

Be sure to let him tell everything.

I got it.

Zhao Yunlan...

Hey, have you watched enough? Go back now.

You are in Zhu Hong's heart.

I know.

But she's not in my heart.

So, it'll be better for her to cut off that thought.

After all, she's a girl.

Although she looks mature,

she is actually immature.

It's because of her immaturity

that I can't deceive her.

I was born lacking in love.

It's a fate that I've submitted to,

so it's unnecessary to try anything.

Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu.

Zhu Jiu.

I was ordered to guard this place by Lord Black Robe Envoy.

Don't play tricks.

What's up?

Nothing.

Zhu Jiu is awake!

I still completely failed.

Are you thirsty?

Want a cup of water?

I also left some dumplings for you. I'll go get them.

Are you sick?

I think I'm not.

I'm your mortal enemy.

You even cursed at me before.

Now, you're giving me water?

What is your intention?

I don't have any.

Eat when hungry, drink when thirsty.

Or else, how will you live?

Anyway, you have no ability to commit crimes now.

We're all equal.

Equal?

Ridiculous.

I'm an upright Undergrounder.

How could I be equal to you human beings!

How could I be equal to you!

How do you feel?

Never been this comfortable.

Good.

Enjoy your final moments.

Changcheng!

Prepare to take him out for interrogation.

Wait.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Are you okay?

Stop!

You go first. I need to go back to headquarters.

No, your auditory hallucinations...

I'll go with you.

It's hard to explain to the superiors if both of us are absent.

Minister Gao appreciates you. It is better that you go there.

- You must take care.- Don't worry.

Even trash like you can become an agent of Special Investigations.

You are really out of personnel.

You are always talking about human beings.

Weird.

Do you really hate human beings

or admire them?

Utter shit.

What's good about you human beings?

What's bad about us?

There is hope as long one is alive.

What about if you are dying?

Then make good use of your time and do the things that should be done.

I have to admit,

I have no way to deal with naive kids like you.

Zhu Jiu has woken up—

Don't mind him anymore. Transfer the Sacred Items immediately. Right away!

Zhao Yunlan...

Black Robe Envoy...

Even this move has been expected by you.

Don't resist uselessly.

Your power was just temporarily reactivated by drugs.

Under the shield of Special Investigations, you can't last long.

Say it. Who is the boss behind the scenes?

Boss...

I almost forgot that.

There is still the last call.

All I need is a little time.

Light...

I won't ever be able to wait for it.

Boss,

the last bit of energy that can make you appear

will be supplied by me.

Please take revenge for me.

Ruin this...

dull world.

Zhu Jiu,

may you rest in peace.

Excuse me.

The advantage of living for a long time is

that all kinds of novelties can be seen.

This call is not enough to completely destroy the seal.

Should we help him?

Young man,

it's not a good habit to be passionate about taking sides.

Zhao Yunlan! Stop the car.

Old Zhao!

- Why is your phone powered off? - Where are the Sacred Items?

I came out right away once I received your call.

You just told me to transfer but you didn't tell me where.

I have no idea so all I can do was look for you.

As I said, this thing is poisoned.

Once you touch it, illusions will appear.

It's not an illusion.

It's reality.

Master of the Guardians,

someone wants to see you.

Boss.

Much better now.

Chief Zhao,

since it's our first time meeting,

please allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Ye Zun (Night Master).

As you can see,

the boss behind Zhu Jiu and Ya Qing

is me.

This time, I luckily escaped from the Underworld

to have a sincere meeting with you.

Sincere meeting?

Can you take the mask off your face first?

As you act as the final villain,

why must you imitate my friend, Black Robe Envoy?

It really bothers me.

The reason why human beings are confused

is that they desire too much while they act so little.

Chief Zhao, have you thought of

how to save humans from suffering?

Cut off their desire.

Make them settle in the status quo every day

and have no other choice.

Just like what humans did to the Undergrounders.

So you're implying

that everything you did was to liberate the Undergrounders.

The sunflower can't resist the call of the sun.

The river can't refuse the lure of the sea.

Chief Zhao, have you ever thought that

the Undergrounders returning to the surface

is according to nature's law and the trend of the times.

I don't think so.

All I see is that you confused them to work for you to death

and provoke war under the excuse of resources.

You killed so many humans, so many Undergrounders,

only for your ambitions of returning to the world.

I never thought that the distinguished Master of the Guardians

was such a superficial man.

This is too surprising.

We Undergrounders and human beings

are totally different races.

When you are eating meat and fish,

why didn't you ever think of how precious life is?

That really makes sense.

So what about your swallowing the energy of Zhu Jiu just now?

He's an Undergrounder

and also your loyal old follower.

Right,

it is because he was my confidant;

hence, I know that

he wanted to devote and burn himself.

Because only in this way

can his blood beat together with my heart

and tend toward eternity amidst the light.

Cut your crap!

Give me the Sacred Items.

Do you think you can take other people's lives casually as your nutrition

just because you're here posing and preaching sermons?

Chief Zhao,

I thought you were a smart man.

Since you said it like that,

there is no need to talk nonsense.

Old Zhao!

Professor Shen,

where is Chief Zhao?

Why did you come here alone?

He...

Damn it!

It seems that I won the bet.

If you are as powerful as you said,

you could surely kill us with one finger.

But you were so eager to swallow the energy of Zhu Jiu earlier,

that means you are not able to stabilize your body

in the mortal world due to some reasons.

Your power is fluctuating, right?

Right.

A Sacred Item.

When dark energy and a magnetic field go head-to-head,

it forms a protective film.

Our shield in Special Investigations is also built on this theory.

This is putting what has been learned into practice.

As long as...

As long as you give me the Sacred Item now,

I promise you...

I'll leave here at once.

Sure. Here, you can have it.

Zhao!

You will suffer more countereffects

the longer we stay in this deadlock.

Chief Zhao,

you'd better be obedient and hand me the Sacred Item.

You struggle so hard for those ignorant humans.

Why go through all the trouble?

You think it is a hardship,

but I enjoy it.

Zhao! Old Zhao!

Never look down on us human beings.

Humans can also have unlimited potential!

Obstinate!

You won't win.

But someone is going to win...

and he's now here.

Zhao Yunlan, are you okay?

Old Zhao! Zhao!

So many years have passed.

You still look the same.

Shut up! Go back to where you should be.

Zhao.

Old Zhao.

I told you.

It's still too early

to decide the fate of both sides.

Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan!

- Old Zhao. - Shen Wei.

It's me.

- Where is Ye Zun?- Don't worry.

He will not be able to do evil for a long period of time.

I knew you could do it.

But it's kind of weird.

How come I find Ye Zun familiar?

Okay,

don't speak too much. I'll assist you to go back first. Come.

Did you cut off the electricity throughout the city again? It's so dark.

Why are you both not speaking?
