QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTARY OF ZUO

SUCH POISON IS CALLED "BLACK MAGIC" IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

What kind of spell do you want from me? Tell me.

My husband has fallen for a young woman and no longer loves me.

Our relationship is beyond repair.

Please help me to...

- Cast a death curse? - Yes.

Also...

This is my husband and his mistress.

Do you want me to take his life or hers?

Both of them.

Here.

- These aren't enough for two lives. - Name your price. I'll pay if I can.

- Five times as much. - Alright.

- You must pay the remainder tomorrow. - Fine.

You can collect their bodies tomorrow afternoon. Go now.

LIN WEI-TU, YAU WAI, KO TI-HUA, LAM FUNG, KU WEN-CHUNG, LEE SAU-KEI

Sister?

That house over there.

Alright, don't be scared. Go home. I'll take a look.

Alright, go home. Go!

Another death curse by Sang Zhanmi.

- Who is it? - It's me. Open up!

I brought the money.

Okay. Follow my blueprints and measure it accurately.

Xu Luo, your girlfriend called. Come on down.

I'll be right down.

I'll be right back.

- Mr. Xu. - Thank you.

Hello? What is it?

Hello? Why is it so noisy there? I'm already yelling!

- You can talk now. - School's finished. Can you pick me up?

Sure, I can leave work early. I'll give you a ride home.

I'll wait outside the school. See you later.

See you later.

Who are you seeing? Is it your girlfriend?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhou. I'm very busy.

Xu Luo.

I booked a table for dinner at the Hilton. Will you dine with me?

I'm sorry, I have a date. But thanks.

Hello.

Excuse me, do you have a lighter?

Mrs. Zhou, what's the meaning of this?

I'm no longer Mrs. Zhou. Please call me Luo Yin.

- Tell me what you want. - Are you scared of me?

Yes, I'm scared of you, alright.

Xu Luo, as you know,

if I want something, I get it.

I'll stop at nothing to get it.

And right now, I want you.

I'm confident that I can have you.

- Mrs. Zhou... - Hey!

There you go again. My name is Luo Yin.

Ms. Luo, everyone knows that you're rich,

and your late husband left you a big inheritance.

You can buy anything you want.

But I'm sorry, you can't buy me.

I'm busy. Please get out.

Ms. Wang, is Mr. Xu not here yet?

Maybe he's not coming. I'll just take the bus home.

If he shows up, please let him know.

Fine.

Hi!

- I'm sorry for being late. - It's okay.

- Were you really busy? - There was traffic. A car blocked my way.

That held me up.

- Was it your female boss's car? - Yes.

It's so annoying.

I think you're very lucky with women!

Leave! Scram!

You'll regret it if you ever come here again!

- Cai, if Mr. Liang returns, send him away! - Okay.

Hey, Liang. Why's your car in such a sorry state?

Don't ask.

That crazy bitch lost her temper and wrecked it. I can't afford to fix it.

What bad luck!

- Noodles. - Yes, sir.

You're so lame. You can't even win over a slutty widow.

Forget about having her and her riches.

I know she's chasing after an engineer who won't give her the time of day.

In my opinion, you have no chance.

I still have to try!

Do you know how much money she has? Enough for ten lifetimes!

What does her wealth have to do with you? She's not your woman. Unless...

- Black magic? - Yeah.

- Does it really exist? - You better believe it.

Though it's not easy to pull off. And you can't afford to hire a wizard.

If the spell works, I'll have her and her money.

I'll be able to afford anything.

Liu, where does this wizard live? Come with me to find him.

I'm not going. I'm not after a wealthy widow.

Then tell me where he lives. I'll go and see him by myself.

The Wizard's name is Sang Zhanmi.

To find his residence, head west out of the city for the Wanlao Forest.

Walk five miles in, and you'll come across his house.

Hey, I'm looking for a wizard named Sang Zhanmi.

Where does he live?

I'm looking for a wizard named Sang Zhanmi!

How much farther?

- Where are his blood and hair? - It's all here.

Here. This is magic rice.

Take it back and find a way to get your boyfriend to eat it.

He will fall hopelessly in love with you.

Combined with my magic potion, he will be devoted to you for life.

- Here. - Thank you.

Where's my payment?

- ls this all? - I'll bring the rest to you in a few days.

Don't forget.

Are you Sang Zhanmi?

- What kind of spell do you seek? - What? Are there different kinds?

Many kinds.

There are spells for life, death, flying, and love.

I want a love spell that can make someone love me.

I see. That's simple. It's a piece of cake for me.

But my fee is very high. Can you afford it?

Hey, as long as I get what I want, you can name your price.

I want a piece of gold this big. Can you do that?

No problem.

You need to know that I'm a wizard, and if you don't keep your word, you'll die.

- I will pay you. - Good.

Come back in three days.

- You need to bring two things. - What?

Her hair, including the roots.

- What else? - A section of mud with her footprint.

We'll talk after you get those. Goodbye.

MISS LUO YIN

Yes, that's cute.

That's a call for me. I'll be right back.

I'm sorry.

Stop! There's a venomous spider on your head!

Don't scream!

Look. This is a venomous spider.

One bite from it will turn your face red and swollen.

Even a doctor couldn't save you.

Thank you.

This is her hair.

What is your girlfriend's name? Where does she live?

Her name is Luo Yin. She lives at 30 Kangbang Road.

MISS LUO YIN

Ms. Luo, I would like to offer you a toast.

- Mr. Wang, let's dance. - Sure.

Excuse us.

I've heard that you're a great dancer.

Not at all.

I'm delighted to have the honor of dancing with you.

- Who are you? - Oh, I'm Luo Yin's friend.

So, you're Luo Yin's friend.

It's outrageous that she left you here alone.

To be honest, we had a little misunderstanding.

I offended her.

I know Luo Yin best.

If you just apologize to her, she will forgive you.

I'll apologize to her and drink to her later.

Please help and put in a good word for me.

No problem. I'll help you.

Good luck, Mr. Liang.

No, I'm not good at dancing. You flatter me.

Luo Yin, Mr. Liang wants to offer you a toast.

It was my fault earlier. I offended you.

I'll drink to you. Don't be mad at me anymore.

I don't even know you. Please leave and stop bothering me.

Peace makes the world go round. Do it for me. Come on.

Let's all drink. Come on.

- He's a weasel and he's annoying. - It's a misunderstanding. Drink.

- Or else I'll get mad. - Cheers.

Cheers. Bottoms up!

I'll leave you two to talk. Darling, let's find Dr. Cai. Come on.

Jiajie, come dance with me.

Why would I be with him?

Liang Jiajie, wake up! Get up!

- Liang Jiajie, what did you do last night? - You threw yourself at me last night.

Please! You wouldn't have a chance if you were the last man on earth!

Last night, you said you loved me and would give me anything.

- Have you forgotten? - Bullshit!

What dirty trick did you use to deceive me? Tell me!

I... I didn't do anything.

Terry! Come here!

You said you wanted it last night.

Tell me or the dog will go for your throat.

- You said you wanted it. - I wouldn't!

- Did you drug me? - It wasn't a drug.

You deny it?

It was black magic. A wizard cast a spell on you.

- Black magic? - Tell it to go away.

Terry, go away-

If he can use a spell, why can't I?

Liang Jiajie!

Wait.

If you agree to one request, I'll pay you a lot of money.

You could make a small fortune.

- Tell me what it is. - Introduce me to this wizard.

I see. You want to...

Cut the bullshit! Will you do it or not?

No problem.

But I urgently need money today.

- Can you give me some cash first? - Sure.

Here's a thousand dollars.

After the deal's done, I'll give you $10,000.

A thousand dollars isn't enough.

- Forget it, then. - Hey!

When will you bring him to me?

I'll let you know after I arrange it with him.

Sang Zhanmi, your spell didn't work.

It stopped working after one night.

You said you only wanted your wish fulfilled.

You got everything you wanted.

- Where's my payment? - I can't give it to you yet.

Alright. You shall regret this.

Have you already cursed me?

- Yes. - I don't believe you.

I didn't eat what you offered me.

How could you have cursed me?

Do you remember your first visit here?

You drank from a coconut in the forest.

Let me tell you, I put a spell on it!

Master, please give me another chance.

My girlfriend is a millionaire.

I can work with you. I guarantee you'll make a huge fortune.

I don't want to work with you, but I can give you another chance.

If you don't bring me the money in three days, you shall die.

Good bye.

Ms. Luo.

- Who are you? - I'm Sang Zhanmi.

You can cast spells?

Not to blow my own horn, but...

your night with Liang Jiajie is proof that my spells work.

- Please have a seat. - Thank you.

Your spell only worked for one day, though.

On the second day, it no longer worked on me.

That was my way of dealing with Liang Jiajie.

I knew he wouldn't keep his word,

so I made sure his spell would only work for one night.

Ms. Luo, if you can meet my demands,

I can promise you that my spell will stay effective for one year.

So, can anyone break the spell within that year?

Absolutely not.

- Unless... - Unless what?

Unless I die.

Then, my spells will automatically be canceled.

Otherwise, there is absolutely no one who can break them.

So, how can I help you?

I have fallen in love with a man.

I must have him.

That's easy. I guarantee he will be at your mercy within three days.

What are your terms?

I know you can afford to pay. I don't ask for much. Just $100,000.

No problem. I'll pay you.

Excellent. Then it's a deal.

Now, I need three things to make the magic potion.

And you need to get them for me, otherwise, I can't help you.

What are they?

First, I need a lock of your lover's hair, including the roots.

- And the second? - I need his blood. A few drops will do.

Third... I need your breast milk.

You must be joking. How would I have breast milk?

Drink this.

Within three days, you will have breast milk.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Look, these are a man's finger and teeth.

You must hide these under his bed.

After a few days, they will be rotten and maggot-ridden.

Then my spell will take effect.

Take them. Take them!

Congratulations, you're going to be a bridegroom.

- Cheers. - How did you get in?

Getting hold of a key is a piece of cake when you have money.

Have some respect for yourself and get out.

Don't you know how I feel about you?

- How can you be so heartless? - What a joke!

I don't feel a thing for you.

You heartbreaker!

Is this the bride?

What a poor bride.

Why, you...

Xu Luo!

You're getting married tomorrow.

After you're hitched, I won't ever bother you.

But tonight... please accept me.

You're shameless! Get out of here!

- Just leave! - I'm not leaving!

If you kick me out, I'll scream.

I'll say you harassed me and raped me!

- Harassment! - Don't!

- Then, let's talk nicely. - About what?

Xu Luo... I really don't understand.

Why do you despise me so much?

How is Wang Juying better than me?

Miss, you can't force love.

I cannot accept your love.

So... how much is your love worth?

I can pay any price!

Tell me.

Tell me! Tell me!

- Tell me! - Leave!

- Hello? Who is it? - Xu Luo, don't you recognize my voice?

- What are you doing at home? - Nothing much.

Are you still awake?

Hello? Why aren't you saying anything?

Juying, I'm about to go to bed.

Why are you still up, Juying?

It's nothing. You should go to bed.

Get some sleep, okay?

Hello? Hello?

Xu Luo!

Hello? Xu Luo?

- Juying? - Hello? Why did you yell just now?

A mad dog just came into my flat. It's nothing. Okay.

I know.

Fine. Go to sleep soon. Bye.

Fine. Since I'm not welcome, I'll go.

My clothes, please.

Here!

I'm leaving. See you.

Bye.

Is this enough blood?

It Will do.

What about his hair?

It's in here.

Excellent.

It's already the third day. How do your breasts feel?

They're swollen and uncomfortable.

Great. You already have milk.

- Come with me. - Where are we going?

Follow me, and you'll find out.

Ms. Luo, give me a hand!

Hurry UP!

Help me dig.

Pass me the bag. Hurry up.

Burn her. Take it. Burn her!

Take your clothes off, quickly. Hurry.

After three days of chanting, the potion will be complete.

As long as your boyfriend drinks it, I guarantee you'll get what you want.

Master.

Master, please. Help me.

That's what you get for breaking your word.

I'll pay you ten times the gold. Don't let me die!

Seek help from someone else. I can't help you.

Master, please! Save me!

Get lost! Get out of here!

- It's too late. - Sang Zhanmi! I'll give you...

I'll give you money!

I don't want to die!

- The wedding is about to begin. - Okay.

Hey, Deqin, the Wedding's about to begin. Tell Xu Luo to get ready.

I don't know where he is, I've looked everywhere.

Let's find him immediately.

Xu Luo, why did you come back here?

Everyone's waiting for you. Get up.

Is he feeling unwell?

No way, he's always been in good health.

- Get up and get changed. - Come on.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...

...the wedding ceremony will now begin.

Xu Luo, do you take Wang Juying to be your wife?

Xu Luo, do you take Wang Juying to be your wife?

I do. I do.

Congratulations to the groom. A toast to you.

What's the matter? You refuse to drink?

Get away! Get away now!

- Xu Luo! - What's wrong?

Go away!

- Get away from me! - What's the matter?

- Xu Luo! - Xu Luo!

- Go away! - Xu Luo!

Xu Luo, what's wrong with you?

Juying, Xu Luo's down here!

Juying, don't be upset.

Invite that man into the living room.

Master!

Congratulations, Ms. Luo. Congratulations on your union.

- Master, I should thank you. - Not at all.

Please have a seat. I'll write a check for you upstairs.

Alright.

- Have a seat outside. I'll be right out. - Okay.

Who are you looking for?

- Your madam. - I'm sorry, she isn't in.

I know she's home. We must see her about something urgent.

Enough. The madam isn't in.

Xu Luo, come home! Your wife is waiting for you!

Xu Luo, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me?

Xu Luo, are you sick? Don't you recognize your wife?

Come down here. We need to talk to you.

What's this, Xu Luo? You have a wife?

Is that your wife?

I don't have a wife.

Have you lost your mind? How could you say that?

Has she put a spell on you?

Xu Luo, tell me, who is she to you?

Tell me.

Tell me.

I don't know her.

I don't have a wife.

You are the only one I love.

Luo Yin, let me tell you, Xu Luo is a married man!

We can take legal action against you for seducing him!

I will sue you!

Give me a second, I'll be right back.

Master, come with me. I need to talk to you.

Alright.

This check is your payment.

Thank you.

Can you help me with one more thing?

What is it?

I heard you can do death curses.

Those who are cursed by you will surely die.

That is my signature curse.

Those who are cursed by me inexplicably die within three days.

Liang Jiajie is a very good example.

Ms. Luo, who do you want to get rid of?

- I want to get rid of a woman. - Who?

Terry, don't bite! Come back here!

Goodness me, you're hurt.

Don't worry, I have some ointment. You'll be fine after applying it.

Right, you're all good now. Don't be scared.

Thank you.

Terry, I'm going to punish you!

Goodbye. Come on, hurry!

- Ms. Luo. - What is it?

I came to give you good news. I put a death curse on Wang Juying.

She will be dead within three days.

- Any mishaps? - There are no loose ends.

Nobody will know what happened.

Thank you.

Oh, that's right...

I grow these rhododendrons. They're blooming spectacularly this year.

I hope you like them.

They're beautiful.

- Goodbye. - Master...

It's so late. Do you have to hurry back?

Yes.

I have a guest room. Why don't you stay the night?

- Would you like that? - Thank you.

- Come this way. - After you.

Mr. Feng, open the gate.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Mr. Wei, it's awful.

Ms. Wang suddenly fainted earlier. I've sent her to the hospital.

Mr. Wei, what did the doctor say?

The doctor said her condition was strange.

An X-ray revealed many tiny worms under her skin.

And every worm is heading for her heart.

Even if he operates on her... it won't help.

Mr. Wei, it's plausible that Ms. Wang must have been cursed.

You're from the younger generation, so you don't believe in it.

But I can promise you that black magic does exist.

When I was a young boy, a wizard named Master Fulong

wanted me to be his apprentice, but my parents refused.

Master Fulong is still alive.

If we take Ms. Wang to him,

I'm sure he will find a way to break the curse.

Mr. Wang, where does this wizard live?

- Where is it? - Just over there. Master Fulong!

Master Fulong!

- Master Fulong! - Hurry. Come inside quickly.

Hurry, hurry! Hurry inside!

Ghost, leave her!

Leave her! Be gone!

Hold this.

This was a death curse. Someone wanted her dead.

If you had come half an hour later, she would be dead.

She has no enemies. Why would someone want to kill her?

Aside from Sang Zhanmi, no one else would be so vicious and deplorable.

Her husband is also under a spell. Master, you must save them.

Where is your husband?

He is at the house of a Ms. Luo. It's at 30 Kangbang Road.

Juying!

Juying.

- Xu Luo, let's go home. - Yes.

Xu Luo!

Xu Luo!

Xu Luo, go upstairs.

Terry!

Xu Luo!

Xu Luo!

Wei Deqin!

Wei Deqin!

Xu Luo!

Xu Luo!

- Xu Luo, you're back! - Tang, Xu Luo is back!

Xu Luo, our work's been going well.

One floor takes three days, so we'll be all done in two months.

Xu Luo, glad you're back.

Don't you recognize me?

Where have you been?

Have you been home?

Have you seen Juying?

Juying?

Something's off about him. Watch him. Don't let him leave.

- I'll go call his wife. - Okay.

Is this Juying? Xu Luo's here.

Come quickly. Hurry!

Xu Luo, have a soda.

Time to start work, everyone!

Die!

- Xu Luo! - Xu Luo!

- Xu Luo! - Xu Luo, what's wrong?

Police! There's someone on a psychotic rampage here!

Send officers now!

- Xu Luo! - Xu Luo!

- Over there! Hurry! - Quick, grab him!

Stay still!

Don't move!

The patient has just had surgery. The doctor said not to disturb him.

Master Fulong is here.

Master Fulong, the doctor couldn't find the cause of the illness.

Of course not. Science cannot break the curse.

Master, please find a way to save him.

That Will be difficult.

Unless Sang Zhanmi dies, no one will be able to break his curse.

Then, is Xu Luo doomed?

I do have a way, but it's only a band-aid solution.

What is it?

It's this.

When he wakes up tomorrow, feed him these centipedes.

After eating them, he will come back to his senses for a while.

I shall find a way to deal with Sang Zhanmi.

Do you want to eat?

You're such a good wife.

Mr. Xu, I have some good news for you. You can be discharged today.

- Doctor, has he fully recovered? - He's not sick.

Go home and rest.

Juying, go handle the discharge procedures.

I'm going stir-crazy after three months here.

- Okay, wait here for me. - Don't be long.

I'm so sorry about that. Here, let me help you.

- I'm sorry. Here you go. - It's okay.

Sorry about that.

It's all done. Let's go home.

Fill her up, please.

I'm going to call Deqin and invite him over for dinner.

Hello, Deqin? Xu Luo has been discharged.

Why don't you come over for dinner? Okay, we'll be waiting for you.

The plane will be leaving soon. We should go.

You haven't told me where we're going yet.

All around the world.

When will we be coming back?

I'll take you to a beautiful place, and we'll stay there forever.

Congratulations, Ms. Luo. Are you off on a honeymoon?

Ms. Luo, my work is done. Are you satisfied?

Please tally up my fee.

Fine, I'll give it to you now.

Hurry, drive! Go now!

Xu Luo! Where are you going? Xu Luo!

- Bring Xu Luo back. I'll pay you more! - Alright.

Over there!

Xu Luo, come down now!

Come down! Xu Luo!

Come back!

Xu Luo, stop!

Someone wishes to break my spell, but he will fail. Come back.

Come back!

Xu Luo, you must obey me.

Turn around and come back.

Come back.

Come here.

Come here.

Keep walking.

Walk forward.

Walk forward.

- Xu Luo, stop! - Walk forward.

Sang Zhanmi, enough of your wicked deeds!

Today, you shall meet your fate!

- Xu Luo! - Xu Luo!

Xu Luo, let's go home.

Let's go.

- Thank you, Master Fulong. - You're welcome.
