[Episode 21]

Since we are all done eating and gathering, let me make an announcement.

Everyone is dismissed.

All of you...

should go home and enjoy this Mid-Autumn Festival.

We shall discuss everything else after that.

Let's go.

Zhu Hong,

what happened that night?

When you left, it was only you and Zhao Yunlan.

Why did Professor Shen come back with you?

All right, I will tell you all.

Actually, Professor Shen's real identity

is more important than we thought.

It's done.

Get up.

Sit.

How is he, Doctor Cheng?

I've checked his eyes, but everything seems fine.

I'm really sorry, I can't find the reason why he lost his sight.

So, the hospital can't help me either.

Shen Wei must have already done all that I could do. For you two to still come find me,

you must be really worried that you became muddled.

You know each other?

Doctor Cheng is my university classmate.

That's enough. Even though I can't see,

I know that you are putting on a worried face.

I am a lucky person.

I have a resilient life. I won't die.

The problem isn't that you'll die. It's—

It's time.

You have something on?

Don't you have a lecture for the sophomores at 10:00 a.m.?

I think I better take the day off.

There is no need, Da Qing is coming soon.

Then, I'll pick you up after my class.

Doctor Cheng, I'll leave him in your care.

Thank you.

What is good about being lively?

One person eats and the whole family is not hungry. (lives alone)

That's the style of a scientist.

Little Chu, don't stand on ceremony.

Since you're here, you are one of us.

That's right. Changcheng said

that you take really good care of him,

that's why I insisted that he bring you over to our house.

Isn't it too lonely to be celebrating the holiday

all alone?

This puppet looks really jolly.

What do you youngsters call it again?

Garage kits (figurines)! Am I right?

You're the first one who dared touch it in my presence.

Brother Chu, my uncle means no harm.

I know.

Let's play Mahjong. Husband, let's play.

Let's play.

Dead Cat, you are stealing my snacks again.

I am the esteemed Da Qing.

Who says I am stealing?

I am openly eating your snacks.

Then again, you are ill.

You can't eat these anyways.

Makes sense!

Over here.

Oh, right.

I got something for you to listen to.

Heaven is jealous of his talent!

Boss, you will forever remain in our hearts.

Is this the bed-time story you all have prepared for me?

Why does it sound like I am already dead?

Lin Jing is full of nonsense.

Don't fret, there's more.

Chief Zhao, let... me tell you a joke.

- Once, there was a mountain... - Little Guo telling me a joke

is the greatest joke there is.

Next.

Next one...

It's from Zhu Hong.

She's so worried about you.

After knowing your condition,

she stayed up the whole night to read a whole book for you.

There's a saying from when Heaven and Earth began,

people were displaced.

A black-cloaked envoy was in power.

He called for action.

What is she reading?

Why was the history of Black Robe Envoy mentioned?

A Record of Ancient Secrets.

I found it in your bedside drawer.

Didn't you say before that

the story in this book

has really happened before?

Strictly speaking, there are some discrepancies.

It is about ten thousand years of history after all.

By the way,

I can vaguely remember that I was part of something big.

What was that again?

I said I still vaguely remember...

Not you, what did Zhu Hong say?

Rewind it.

The Four Pillars stabilize all four sides of the world.

The sky is tilted to the northwest and Kunlun applied the sealing words,

saying "Not old, but already too weak.

Not cold, but the water has frozen.

Not born yet, but already withered.

Not yet smelted, but has turned into gold."

All these impossible things...

are embodied in the Four Sacreds (four Sacred Items). If Heaven doesn't fall,

the earth doesn't sink,

the Four Sacreds won't come out,

and the world will proceed peacefully.

You heard that, right?

Four Sacreds?

The four Sacred Items are indeed essential for peace on both ends.

Not only so.

The recording mentions Kunlun,

a person that is of equal with Brother Black

and has the power to seal all the four Sacred Items.

But how come Brother Black never mentioned this name before?

Kunlun? This name again...

Dead Cat, drop your act.

That's enough, don't think about it anymore!

Lie down. Relax.

Mr. Zhao, your particulars have been processed.

What's wrong with him?

Doctor Cheng, I'll leave this loser in your care then.

Okay.

But let me tell you ahead of time,

I am just a normal neurologist and I can't cure all diseases.

That's fine. I believe in you.

Okay.

Shen Wei isn't here yet. How will you go back?

I'll get home myself.

Are you sure with your eyes like this?

Eyes can't see the real path.

I will make a move then.

In summary, using digital control over the

RNA polymerase on DNA's—

Professor, you have misspelled something again.

[Intagrase (should be Integrase)]

Professor Shen's lecture today is really messy.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

He's so strange today.

Thank you for correcting me.

Let's move on to—

We'll stop here today. Let's continue the rest next time. Class dismissed.

Thanks.

Yunlan.

- Hey!- Hello.

Can I help you?

That is the latest acoustics.

Yeah. It's average.

I think it's pretty good. Listen.

What's going on?

I told you it was average.

Sorry. My bad.

The quality of that thing was not good.

I am not going to compensate for it.

It's not that. Your music sheets.

Thanks.

Sha Ya?

Your name is written here.

Hope we'll meet again.

Stop there.

What happened to your eyes?

My eyedrops expired and damaged my eyes.

Be serious.

Oh yes, don't get too close to Shen Wei.

You know quite a lot.

Is that so strange?

I am your superior when it comes to work.

When it comes to personal matters...

I can choose who to make friends with.

You should know what type of person he is.

Staying close to him will only bring you trouble.

Regardless of what type of person he is,

he genuinely treats me well.

There is this one type of friend in this world.

No need to have long intimate chats

or openly express deep concerns, but you just know

that at the most crucial moment,

he will always have your back.

But some things may not truly be what they appear.

What a coincidence, I'm blind.

Leader, some things aren't meant for looking.

I was told from a young age

that there are four things in life which we mustn't be stubborn about.

The first is forever. The second is right and wrong. The third is kindness and evil.

The fourth is life and death.

These words...

don't seem like they would come out of your mouth.

Holding onto something isn't always a virtue.

Being too obsessed with eternity may lead you to be very particular with personal gains and losses.

Making the road beneath you blurry.

While being too obsessed with right and wrong will make you too petty about trivial things.

In this world, there aren't many

absolute rights and wrongs.

Being too uptight with kindness and evil

will not let your eyes see anyone as kind.

You may even become arrogant.

You will want all the rules to be changed

according to your perspective.

And being too obsessed with life and death,

your vision will become narrow.

In this life, people can only avoid 2 of the 4 mentioned.

That is why a lot of things

cannot be overly thought of or meticulously scrutinized.

Hence, they are not worthy for you to fall too deeply into.

Since you've already made your decision,

then don't bother if it is right or wrong.

Think about what your next step is instead.

What say you?

That's not it.

Since when have you changed?

I mean, transformed.

Are you bullying me for being blind

and are disguising yourself?

What you said just now

is more than everything you said to me in the past years.

That's right.

That's why I am tired.

I'm not going to say anymore.

I will walk you up to here. You're on your own for the rest of your path.

You are really so at ease

to let a blind man like me climb the stairs alone.

I am not worried.

You are my son after all.

Little Zhao!

Why are you daydreaming there?

Big Sis, please help me down the stairs.

Okay, let's hurry.

Little Zhao, what are you looking for? Slow down. Slow down.

Big Sis, is there a car accident here?

No, everything is normal.

Hey, Little Zhao, that's dangerous!

- Thanks. - What do you think you're doing?

Oh, you're back.

You ditched me today.

If it wasn't for a kind person that took me home,

I wouldn't know how to come back.

Are you tired of living?

You ditched me yet you are scolding me?!

Zhu Hong understands my situation best.

I'm loyal, trustworthy, and great at housework.

Fourth Uncle,

what are you doing?

You little girl,

you aren't young anymore.

You still haven't found a spouse.

As snakes, we don't have long to live.

What if there comes a day where I will get old and leave you all alone on this world—

- Being alone isn't something bad. - You just have a sharp tongue.

Don't you have someone you like?

Isn't the reason you visited us today

was to ask for a remedy for the eyes of the one you love?

I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm leaving.

Where are you going? The flea market hasn't even begun.

Flea market?

The triennial big flea market of the Demi-humans?

It is rare for such an event.

Why don't you think of a way to ask your crush to come to the flea market?

In this flea market, many different talents will come

and sell exotic items. Maybe you can find a cure for him.

Think about it.

Here, have a seat first.

Can't you sit still and stop moving around?

How can you be so careless? Don't you know a long time ago...

What long time ago?

It's nothing.

That's not right.

You're hiding something from me.

I'll make you something to eat.

Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

Don't worry?

You are crashing into everything.

How can we not worry?

True, my brains got burned by dark energy.

My eyes and heart are blind, and that isn't worth much. That, Professor Shen,

Public Servant Shen, calm your anger.

What are you looking for?

There was a book called "A Record of Ancient Secrets."

I can't find it. Did you see it?

I don't have any recollection of it.

Listen to this then.

The Four Pillars stabilizes all four sides of the world. The sky is tilted to the northwest

and Kunlun applied the sealing words, saying,

"Not old, but already too weak. Not cold, but the water has frozen.

Not born yet, but already withered. Not yet smelted, but has turned into gold."

- What are you doing?- All these impossible things...

Answer your phone.

Hello.

My god, Miss Zhu Hong.

Why can't you just stay at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival and are giving me—

Flea market of the Demi-humans?

Flea market of the Demi-humans?

That place could have the cure for your eyes.

All right, wait there. I'll be right over.

Look at that. It's a holiday, but I can't even rest.

Can't blame me.

- Let's go.- Let's go.

If only I had the three-cylinder tile for my set.

I have no use for this.

Peng! I got it.('Peng' is a Mahjong term called when you have a three of a kind set from someone's discard)

Hu! ('Hu' is a Mahjong term called when you've won the game)

Pay up, don't back out.

Fun. Fun. As long as we are having fun.

How is it, do you feel better?

But I can't remember anything.

It's hard to imagine that

at such a tender age, you have such severe dementia.

I was born looking young,

but I am not as young as you think.

From what you've told me,

you can't remember much from your past

and this condition is ongoing.

This appears to be dissociation amnesia

and you could even sense that you're losing yourself.

If this continues,

you are in great danger.

Doctor Cheng, can I be treated?

Clinically, we can try medication or hypnosis.

I'll give it a try.

But the detailed effect would depend on

how pressing is it for you to get back these memories.

It's very urgent. I must piece back the puzzle.

I have a feeling that

the thing I forgot

is really, really important.

Doctor Cheng, the family of Bai Suxia has retrieved her body.

Did that person say anything?

He left in a hurry and didn't say anything.

A tragedy at the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She was pregnant with a child and we lost both of them.

Her family must be devastated.

Da Qing, don't be anxious.

Let me prepare first. I'll let you know when to come.

Da Qing.

Thank you, Doctor Cheng.

Just now, did I say something wrong?

It's nothing. My uncle even complimented you for being true to yourself, not being polite.

What is polite?

Nothing much.

Where is Brother Xiangyang?

Where did he go?

Looking for Wang Xiangyang? So am I.

I haven't seen him for days.

What happened to him? Wasn't his business going well?

What good? On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was badly bullied.

Who's there?

Zhu Hong, why are you here?

The flea market has just begun and there aren't many people yet.

I am just walking around.

Hong, don't take it to heart about what happened earlier.

I know my own worth. We were all fooling around.

Enough, don't mention it anymore.

The few of you always take shifts guarding this place?

Aren't you bored?

This is not only the territory of the Snake Tribe,

but of the whole Demi-human race, too.

It's the restricted area.

I've heard about it since I was young.

Brother Jia,

do you know what lies in the restricted area?

For example,

a cure for a hundred illnesses.

I wouldn't know that.

No one is allowed inside the restricted area. It's the rules.

Rules are made by people.

Brother Jia,

since my fourth uncle isn't here,

can you let me in for awhile?

Just for a while.

Brother Jia...

Hong! Hong!

Who's there?

What's wrong?

Brother Jia!

Run away quick!

The Snake Tribe's leader doesn't know how to teach his young.

The restricted area isn't for you to enter.

I want you to pay with your life.

All living things began not with ease.

Out with the old, in with the new. During the end of the year, our tribe men pray to the past Great Wilderness Deity,

pray to our ancestors. Within the wilderness, there are mountains

at odds. The peak of the clouds is the Heavenly Pillar.

The God of Water lures the dragon to touch.

The North Star turns and all other stars move.

Who are they talking about?

Were you friends with these people back then?

I am not very sure

about things that happened in the past.

But the flea market...

is organized by the three great tribes of the Demi-humans,

in turns.

It happens every three years.

Sometimes, it is really lively and crowded.

Sometimes, it is not.

Why are you laughing?

It's nothing.

I was thinking,

I've seen so many brightly colored and lively events.

But having you personally describe it,

that's a first.

Too bad, I can't see it

with my own eyes.

I'm fine.

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you, Miss Ying Chun. Long time no see.

It's been a while.

Flower Tribe's Elder Ying Chun?

I must be so lucky

to be able to meet... to be able to hear your sweet-as-honey kind of voice.

Would you like a lollipop?

Everyone says that the Master of the Guardians is a glib-tongued hunk.

You don't disappoint.

Why are you wearing sunglasses?

Because it looks cooler this way.

Just kidding.

This is for garnering empathy.

When the elders see this young man

having such good looks but is just blind,

maybe they will turn softhearted. They'll then bring out some miracle herb

to take care of me.

Something bad happens when a raven cries.

- Ya Qing. - Oh no.

Ya Qing!

I've said before

that I will be back to settle the score.

If you want revenge, come at me. Let Hong go!

No!

You chose this big day to ruin the mood.

Are you planning to separate from us and make do on your own?

So what?

Sister Qing, are you crazy?!

Ying Chun,

I realized that you don't understand my intentions.

Release her!

- Catch! - Catch what?

Hong, are you okay?

Black Robe Envoy.

However unreasonable you may be, these are your tribe's matters.

But you teamed up with evil forces

and harmed innocent people.

The peace that everyone worked so hard to keep

is being ruined by

selfish people like you.

Even if you die thousands of times,

you can't absolve yourself from this crime!

Xiao Wei!

What did you call me?

Xiao Wei?

Hong, are you all right?

The Demi-humans have always stayed in isolated places and kept to themselves.

No humans or Undergrounders

have the right to interject in your tribes' internal strife.

Similarly, if you disturb our lives, and harm our people,

that also counts as stepping out of bounds.

Elder Ya Qing,

being stubborn is easy. But once you make both tribes your enemy,

you will be attacked from front and back.

Your "great deity" backer may not genuinely protect you.

Since the grudge has been started, there should be a closure.

Snake Tribe Leader. Flower Tribe Leader. What do you say?

Ya Qing,

if you want to clean up the Demi-humans, use proper methods.

Three months from now, we will organize an election for the elder of the whole Demi-human race.

Years of division and disintegration should stop.

Okay. You have my word.

Fourth Uncle,

our Special Investigations has never received an invitation from your Demi-human Tribe.

Fourth Uncle is on your right side.

The reason why I was invited

was to help you out of this situation, right?

How was it? Did I do well?

Very well.

Zhu Hong, enough, come with me.

Jia really likes you.

But...

I let him down.

You look like you've grown up.

But in your heart, you're still a cry baby.

That's enough, let's not talk about that anymore.

Hide this well.

What is this?

It's the key to the restricted area.

This wood is a key?

It won't work now.

This enchanted wood has already withered away for ten thousand years.

If you have the ability to make it bloom again,

this restricted area will open up for you.

Keeping this in our territory is not safe,

so I am giving it to you for safeguard. Hide it well.

This Chief Zhao looks like he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

But this time,

it looks like he can't even fend for himself.

The holiday season is ending,

but it still feels weirdly cold and lonesome.

I wonder if Chief Zhao's eyes

are better yet.

Sang Zan.

What are you up to?

Close your eyes first.

You can open them now.

Do you like it?

Chief Zhao said

this is called a candlelit dinner.

Just like how we were in the past.

♫ The yesterday of past ♫

♫ Everything still looks so real ♫

♫ Remembering each part ♫

♫ And blurring my eyes with it ♫

♫ Still can recall ♫

♫ That exact scene ♫

♫ Forgive me for I only wanted ♫

♫ Another person in this world ♫

♫ To cry for you ♫

♫ We still would be separating ♫

♫ So you shouldn't have said 'I love you' ♫

♫ The me now ♫

♫ Is just too concerned ♫

♫ Is just too concerned ♫

♫ Is just too concerned ♫

Excuse us. We're late.

What's wrong?

Good day, Lord Black Robe!

You people are really gossipy.

Since Zhu Hong has learned your secret,

that's equivalent to revealing it to the whole unit.

You all should just act like how you did before.

Just act like how you did before.

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you ahead of time.

There is no need for that.

Actually, regardless of what you do,

I will support you unconditionally.

Old Chu,

don't forget.

I am your superior.

Shen Wei is only our consultant.

You can be grateful to him but remember who is your boss.

Chief Zhao can be saved!

Dragon City's miracle doctor?

It says he can treat terminal illnesses, too.

Then, Chief Zhao's condition surely can be cured by him.

Little Guo, you are still too young.

All these miracle doctors are not real.

Only science is reliable.

I'll make a bet

with ten packs of anchovies

that he is a swindler.

Hello. Okay.

Cong Po called.

Chief Zhao, your eyes can be saved!

I have news of that miracle doctor.

Let's not care if he is real or fake.

Any chance of saving his eyes, I will not let it go.

Let's go see him then decide.

I'm starting to regret coming here.

Who is the patient?

This man is.

Don't tell me.

It's only a small problem.

What? A small problem?

He can't even see and you say it's a small problem?

Are you doubting my abilities?

What a coincidence, I don't feel like opening my clinic today.

May I ask if you are a western doctor or Chinese medicine doctor?

How do you diagnose and treat your patients?

Are you trying to learn and steal my techniques?

Such a coincidence, I am looking for an underling,

but he surely won't be pressing me for answers like this.

Also, when I am treating patients, no outsiders are allowed to look

and no asking of questions.

Let's go!

Excuse us.

Fine by me!

Be careful.

What kind of a miracle doctor is that? He is clearly so unreliable.

Da Qing.

Everyone is so ignorant,

but I have experienced your advanced medicine skills firsthand.

If you are willing, I can give you a bigger platform.

Let more people know of your abilities.

Forget it.

My ancestors were all doctors.

But when it came to me,

I was ridiculed every day.

Right now, my healing abilities have finally been awakened.

The most important thing is to wipe away my old reputation of being a swindler doctor.

As for the other things,

we'll talk about them in the future.

[Clinic]

Professor Ouyang.

Shen Wei?

What a coincidence.

You must have heard by now

that I am currently working in the Special Investigation Unit as a consultant.

When our chief, Zhao Yunlan, was on a mission,

he received an injury. I brought him here to ask to be treated.

That's not surprising, he is after all an ordinary human being.

Having an injury is normal.

Unless our experiment...

I am surprised you joined Special Investigations.

The work environment there is dangerous and risky.

You are a scholar. Why would you bring trouble on yourself?

Our Seastar Administration Research Institute is where you should be showcasing your talent.

If you are interested in joining,

I'll let you access top-secret information.

Oh yes, Professor Ouyang.

This Miracle Doctor Feng,

are his medical skills really so extraordinary as the rumors claim?

Yes, they are extraordinary!

I've had a sore leg for years, yet he healed it in a heartbeat.

How did he treat your leg?
