1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,080
IN THE YEAR 607, EMPEROR SUI YANGDI
WAS A DICTATOR

2
00:00:02,250 --> 00:00:04,080
ANARCHY REIGNED IN THE DESERT
BEYOND THE YUMEN GATE.

3
00:00:04,250 --> 00:00:07,500
MERCENARIES, PROTECTORS
AND KILLERS MULTIPLIED.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,160
My name is Dao Ma.

5
00:00:11,330 --> 00:00:13,080
DAO MA

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,040
It doesn't matter
that you remember,

7
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:16,120
because my name doesn't matter.

8
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:20,000
What you did in the past,
who you killed...

9
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:21,250
no importance.

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
What matters is...

11
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,410
that I am here to help you.

12
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:28,620
What ? To help me?

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,830
There is a price on your head
for 800 coins.

14
00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:33,870
Look at.
That’s a hell of a lot of money!

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,370
Mazette...

16
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:37,500
But don't worry.

17
00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:43,620
If you pay me triple,

18
00:00:44,410 --> 00:00:46,080
so we never saw each other.

19
00:00:46,330 --> 00:00:47,750
Triple!

20
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:51,000
I'm Xiao Qi!

21
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:51,000
XIAO IQ

22
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:55,620
Remember it or not,
but my name is important!

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,040
That’s very good, you’re right!

24
00:00:58,540 --> 00:01:01,160
- I have a question.
- I'm listening to you.

25
00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:04,290
You speak,
but you are neither a mounted officer

26
00:01:04,450 --> 00:01:06,700
nor accompanied by an accomplice
to assist you.

27
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,500
Just your piece of paper,

28
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:11,700
and a kid...

29
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,870
Why come and challenge the Xiangzi?
I ask you.

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,500
What a waste.

31
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:23,450
I who believed
that we would become friends.

32
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,080
Become friends!

33
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,290
It's not that I underestimate you,

34
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,120
but I have with me
eight competent men

35
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:32,910
and you only have one kid...

36
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:37,500
If anyone sees this, we'll believe it
that the Xiangzi are poor people.

37
00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:40,830
I'm a reasonable guy,

38
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,790
I don't want to be seen badly.

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,660
Close!

40
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,410
Why are you doing this?

41
00:01:55,330 --> 00:01:56,160
When we go out,

42
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:58,330
It's all about the money...

43
00:01:58,790 --> 00:02:01,000
If we can't be friends,
let's stay on good terms.

44
00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:03,370
And let’s aim for prosperity!

45
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:08,660
But he expresses himself rather well,
this poor guy! Right?

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,290
Dao Ma is an excellent speaker!

47
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:14,910
Xiaoqi,

48
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:17,120
close your eyes and count.

49
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:19,160
Oh?
How much should I count?

50
00:02:19,540 --> 00:02:20,750
Just choose a number.

51
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:22,450
Nine !

52
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:25,410
Perfect. At nine,

53
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:27,700
all the bad guys will be on the ground.

54
00:02:27,870 --> 00:02:29,580
Are they bad guys?

55
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:32,160
With heads like that...

56
00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:34,580
– they have to be bad guys!
- Bastard!

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
I'm going to rip your tongue out!

58
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:46,790
How dare you?

59
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,120
A !

60
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:00,410
Two !

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,910
My blade!
My precious blade, quickly!

62
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:04,910
Catch!

63
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:06,870
Chief ?

64
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:10,250
Here's mine.

65
00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:13,870
Three !

66
00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:16,370
I have plenty more for you!

67
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:20,790
Four...

68
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,040
Kill him!

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,450
Take this!

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,870
Five !

71
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:39,910
Six !

72
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,700
Eight !

73
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:51,290
Nine !

74
00:03:58,910 --> 00:04:01,290
How do you go from six to eight?
So what about seven?

75
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:03,160
It's me on the seventh!

76
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:18,580
My brother, forgive me!

77
00:04:19,330 --> 00:04:20,790
Peace brings money!

78
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:32,750
A... Wait,

79
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:36,660
triple the reward...
Let's negotiate... Let's negotiate!

80
00:04:37,250 --> 00:04:39,870
Be quick then.
You should see your condition.

81
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:41,330
It's not pretty.

82
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:48,580
Besides ! It's not just triple!
Everything... Take everything there is!

83
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,620
In this case,
give me back this blade.

84
00:04:58,620 --> 00:04:59,290
Perfect !

85
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:01,950
Collect money,
avoid drama...

86
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,950
It's okay, it doesn't concern you anymore.

87
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:06,120
My brother,

88
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,290
I have one last question...

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,040
The Xiangzi gang
has always been very discreet.

90
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:17,000
We even sow
law enforcement.

91
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:19,700
How did you find me?

92
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:22,580
By pure chance.

93
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:23,450
How ?

94
00:05:24,410 --> 00:05:25,000
Xiao Qi.

95
00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:26,750
We're leaving.

96
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:28,040

EPISODE 1

123
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,540
Xiao Qi, be patient.

124
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:39,410
There will be no more sand in Chang'an.

125
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,250
Chang’an?

126
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:45,120
Is there only Chang'an where there is no sand?
Why do we have to go there?

127
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:48,660
Because it is your native land.

128
00:07:50,580 --> 00:07:52,620
So we can
going to Chang'an tomorrow?

129
00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:55,660
Impossible.

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,200
Before I have to
pay off my debt to old Mo.

131
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Dao Ma,

132
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:05,080
when will you finish
to repay Mo?

133
00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:06,580
Soon, soon...

134
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,830
Isn't old Mo rich?

135
00:08:10,330 --> 00:08:11,750
He could be conciliatory.

136
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:13,500
Certainly not!

137
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:16,750
For what ?

138
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:19,870
You have to give back what you take.

139
00:08:22,450 --> 00:08:25,660
We should not owe anything to anyone,
and the others owe us nothing.

140
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:34,370
- Is old Mo one of the others?
- Yes.

141
00:08:34,540 --> 00:08:36,450
- And me then?
- You are with us.

142
00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:38,290
I don't understand...

143
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:40,790
You will eventually understand.

144
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,660
Why do you owe him money?

145
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,790
You weren't even a year old yet.

146
00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:49,330
Dad carried you
during a long journey.

147
00:08:50,290 --> 00:08:53,370
Walking I came here,
then I met old Mo.

148
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:57,750
He gave a lot
so that we can settle down.

149
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:58,620
So...

150
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:02,000
There are too many insects!
We have to put out the fire!

151
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,330
Impossible.

152
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,450
We keep the fire going all night.

153
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:06,790
For what ?

154
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:09,750
Without fire, a demon
man-eater will appear!

155
00:09:11,290 --> 00:09:12,830
A man-eating demon?

156
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:15,000
I already told you about it, right?

157
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,540
The man-eating demons,
also called Rakshasas,

158
00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:22,700
are cruel and merciless.
They don't just kill,

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,160
they eat
the hearts and livers of the victims.

160
00:09:26,330 --> 00:09:30,750
But dad is here, don't worry.
You fear nothing! Do you know that?

161
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Look at !
Lots of big birds!

162
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,330
Let's go see that.

163
00:10:19,330 --> 00:10:20,620
These corpses...

164
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:22,750
It's Rakshasas!

165
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:25,750
Dao Ma!
Look over there!

166
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:28,370
There is someone!

167
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:32,160
My friend,
what happened?

168
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:35,290
Why doesn't he respond?

169
00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:41,580
This guy has already given up the ghost...

170
00:10:43,330 --> 00:10:44,580
He was valiant,

171
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:46,750
he died standing up.

172
00:10:47,790 --> 00:10:51,120
All these monsters...
Was he the one who killed them?

173
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Almost...

174
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:57,910
But he wasn't alone.

175
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:01,120
Judging by their weapons
and their outfits,

176
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:05,160
it's a convoy from inside the walls
who was attacked by demons.

177
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:08,660
Let's not linger here.

178
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Don't we search them?
If they have valuables...

179
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,540
Idiot,
We are not thieves!

180
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:19,700
Moreover, looting the dead
is not without risk.

181
00:11:30,540 --> 00:11:32,120
He's the leader of the monsters, right?

182
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:38,080
It looks like
that the fight has gone this far.

183
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,160
What carnage...

184
00:11:42,580 --> 00:11:45,250
Demons are just as cruel
as rumor has it.

185
00:11:45,410 --> 00:11:47,830
God protect us...
God protect us...

186
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,200
God protect us...

187
00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:50,790
Xiao Qi, stay there!

188
00:12:04,450 --> 00:12:05,500
Beautiful blade!

189
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,370
It belongs to a powerful family!

190
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,580
Its owner must be
someone important...

191
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,450
Could this be this woman?

192
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:29,450
Dao Ma?

193
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:31,950
It's not forbidden
to pillage the dead?

194
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:35,540
I don't steal it,
I'm just borrowing it.

195
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,790
If it stays there, it will be stolen
and resold at a low price,

196
00:12:39,950 --> 00:12:41,290
that would be a shame.

197
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:45,580
On the way!
We have to go see old Mo!

198
00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:57,000
Dao Ma!
Look ahead!

199
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,450
This time, it's alive!

200
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Save us!

201
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,250
Save us!

202
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:14,450
Great hero...

203
00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:15,620
SUI YU'AN

204
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:17,450
Great hero!

205
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:23,870
Great hero! We are
a convoy from inside the wall.

206
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,830
We were attacked by Rakshasas.

207
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,330
This young man is seriously injured,
he needs a doctor, urgently!

208
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,500
Otherwise, he will lose his life.

209
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,080
300 pieces,

210
00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:37,160
and not a penny less!

211
00:13:42,830 --> 00:13:44,700
I lost my purse,

212
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:48,580
This is all we have left...

213
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:54,660
What a shame,

214
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,200
me who believed
that we would become friends.

215
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,160
Consider it a down payment!

216
00:14:02,330 --> 00:14:05,750
I am Laoyouzi, the leader of the convoy
of the West for Wuwei escorts!

217
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,330
Just lead us to the market
the nearest one and you will have the rest!

218
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:13,000
I swear on our flag
that I will keep my word!

219
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:16,910
Reward:
The two-headed serpent. Lu Qianqian.

220
00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:21,160
Your flag has fallen.
Why should I believe you, huh?

221
00:14:24,950 --> 00:14:28,040
Ah... That... it was on the young...

222
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,700
Reward: 6,000 coins

223
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,450
Put away your change,

224
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,410
and buy yourself some raisins
at the market, my friend.

225
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:41,250
I accept the mission.

226
00:14:43,790 --> 00:14:48,160
“Everyone is fighting for profit.”
Sima Qian

227
00:14:48,330 --> 00:14:50,750
A “mission” implies:
hunting or protection.

228
00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:04,950
Open your mouth.

229
00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:14,120
Fourth class, two gold coins.
Branding with a hot iron.

230
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,500
- Following !
- Wait !

231
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,910
Are you losing your sight, old senile man?

232
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:24,910
It's pure beauty
from the Kucha kingdom!

233
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,370
With these characteristics,
you owe me at least 50 gold coins!

234
00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:30,410
AYUYA

235
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,950
Rude! How can you
doubt my father's expertise?

236
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,160
Indeed,

237
00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:36,000
she should have been first class.

238
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:37,620
But you degraded her.

239
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:51,660
Even marked with a hot iron,

240
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,500
she remains stunned,
insensitive to pain.

241
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,910
This is the result
of an overdose of sleeping pills.

242
00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:00,410
It's not worth much anymore.

243
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,700
During his lifetime,
your father respected this profession.

244
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,200
By doing this, you shame him.

245
00:16:14,910 --> 00:16:17,160
Old fool, what about my money then?

246
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,410
Ayuya, stop!

247
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,660
Ayuya!

248
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:38,330
Dao?

249
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,910
Lao Mo, your daughter...

250
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:43,540
is uncontrollable, even for you?

251
00:16:45,830 --> 00:16:47,910
Dao Ma, are you back?

252
00:16:48,370 --> 00:16:49,910
I'm here too!

253
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,580
Obviously, where there is Dao Ma,
Xiao Qi is never far away.

254
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,580
And with two new friends.

255
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:21,540
Such a beautiful face, in this state...

256
00:17:22,790 --> 00:17:27,120
Cursed Rakshasas,
we were not prepared.

257
00:17:27,910 --> 00:17:31,080
The entire escort was exterminated,

258
00:17:31,290 --> 00:17:33,700
only us remain.

259
00:17:34,330 --> 00:17:37,370
This kind of thing
occurs every three years.

260
00:17:38,370 --> 00:17:42,080
Demons hidden in the shadows
come out and attack passers-by.

261
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:46,870
But this year,
it's earlier than the other times.

262
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,330
What are you going to do?

263
00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:53,540
Don't worry, he'll save him.

264
00:17:54,620 --> 00:17:57,540
He is the best doctor
throughout the western region.

265
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,790
These maggots disinfect his wounds.

266
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,660
In two or three days,
his life will be saved.

267
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:11,080
Father,

268
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:13,500
let me take care of it.

269
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:15,160
Don't worry about it.

270
00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:22,080
Dao Ma's guests are my guests.

271
00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:24,290
I have to take care of it
personally!

272
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:31,540
You are unbelievable, Dao Ma!
A whole month without news,

273
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,660
and you come home bringing
shady people and father worries.

274
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:40,500
I'm here for work, girl!

275
00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:42,660
Little girl, work!

276
00:18:43,370 --> 00:18:46,000
Lao Mo, help me check
this wanted notice.

277
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:48,950
Without this wanted notice,

278
00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:51,500
this young person would not be here, in the West.

279
00:18:52,290 --> 00:18:54,250
And he would never have lived
all these dramas.

280
00:18:54,410 --> 00:18:55,160
How so ?

281
00:18:55,620 --> 00:18:59,290
The fugitive from the wanted poster
is the murderer of his father.

282
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:02,750
Our escort leader
obtained it from the authorities

283
00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:05,040
so that he can take revenge.

284
00:19:06,290 --> 00:19:10,870
This poor child has endured so much
for revenge, and that's where it got him.

285
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,950
His revenge plan falls through.

286
00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:16,620
So,

287
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,080
I just need to bring my head back
of this "Two-Headed Snake" in Wuwei,

288
00:19:21,790 --> 00:19:25,330
and you will be able
to pay me the 6,000 coins?

289
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:29,120
Unfortunately,
he fled outside the wall.

290
00:19:29,410 --> 00:19:32,080
He has been missing for eight years.

291
00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:34,700
Find someone
is not a problem.

292
00:19:35,410 --> 00:19:38,120
There is no one in this world
that father cannot find!

293
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,620
A FEW DAYS
LATER...

294
00:20:02,370 --> 00:20:03,160
So?

295
00:20:03,910 --> 00:20:06,250
It's been a while
what you are looking for, have you found it?

296
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:11,080
Two-headed snake,

297
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,080
master in the use of two weapons,

298
00:20:15,250 --> 00:20:17,250
known to be ruthless and merciless,

299
00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:19,410
ready to do anything for money.

300
00:20:20,580 --> 00:20:22,500
Eight years ago,

301
00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:25,910
he was accused of murder
involving a senior member of the court.

302
00:20:26,410 --> 00:20:30,580
Compelling him to disguise himself,
hide and flee outside the walls.

303
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:32,950
Physical appearance may change,

304
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:35,830
but some things
are immutable, right?

305
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,450
Indeed,

306
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,580
he has a snake tattoo
forming an eight on the waist,

307
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,750
impossible to hide.

308
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:49,580
My informant told me
have recently

309
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:52,700
saw this tattoo somewhere.

310
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:56,160
Where?

311
00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:58,790
No rush, my friend.

312
00:21:00,580 --> 00:21:03,620
Before that,
I would like to warn you.

313
00:21:04,830 --> 00:21:06,620
Do you want to dissuade me from going?

314
00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:08,910
It's not a very pleasant place.

315
00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:11,750
I'm afraid you won't believe it.

316
00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:19,500
Once you have 6,000 coins in your pocket,

317
00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:21,750
I will have repaid my debt?

318
00:21:22,370 --> 00:21:22,870
Dao Ma,

319
00:21:23,540 --> 00:21:27,660
we are friends,
and between friends, there is no debt.

320
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:29,330
Lao Mo,

321
00:21:30,370 --> 00:21:31,660
you know me.

322
00:21:34,370 --> 00:21:37,790
Since you have made your decision,
I won't stop you.

323
00:21:38,290 --> 00:21:41,540
But Xiao Qi is with you,
be careful.

324
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:46,620
Head east for 500 kilometers,
you will see a vast red earth,

325
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,500
you will have arrived
in the village of Red Sand.

326
00:21:49,790 --> 00:21:52,540
This prosperous village
thanks to its thermal springs.

327
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,040
It's a brothel housing people
more or less recommendable.

328
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,160
But since the imperial court
sent

329
00:22:00,330 --> 00:22:02,290
a Mandarin doing
call Master Chang,

330
00:22:02,750 --> 00:22:05,620
no one dares to disturb the order anymore.

331
00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:09,160
This Chang is tough,

332
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:12,830
and your coming for a fugitive
won't make him happy.

333
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:14,910
Be very careful!

334
00:22:17,910 --> 00:22:20,700
Looks like we're in the right place.

335
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
THE WORLD IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVE:
EVERYONE RUNS FOR THEIR PROFIT.

336
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,160
THE WORLD HURRYS UP AND GOES AWAY:
EVERYONE PARTIES FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.

337
00:22:37,330 --> 00:22:41,330
Dao Ma: Beichen Liu
Xiao Qi: Ning An

338
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:45,500
