"Episode 5 Reincarnation"

The Penglai Meeting is meant for us civilian Supernatural organizations...

...to communicate with one another,

yet the Center became the main focus this time.

General Manager Huang, I hope you don't mind.

Of course not, Granny Yu.

I'll be blunt; this scandal with the Illusory Butterfly...

...has seriously undermined us Supernaturals' reputation!

How do you plan to solve this?

We're not trying to shirk our responsibility.

We just hope to minimize panic among the public

and solve it as quietly as possible.

Oh? Can you solve it?

I heard over half of your field agents at Dongzhou became unfit for duty.

How can you be sure that there's only one mutated Illusory Butterfly?

The Center is investigating the origin of the mutated butterfly.

Our men have rushed over to Dongzhou.

Why did he drag me here with such urgency?

This is nothing.

Crap!

Senior, are you trying to get back at me?

Huh? What did I crush?

Where are you? Where are you, liar?

Senior, are you all right?

He can't have been purged, right?

Hey!

Quiet.

Did you feel it? It seems our mind link has been broken.

Senior, you may have tried to harm me, but I did the same to you.

Let's call it even. I've forgiven you.

You sure are magnanimous.

You flatter me. We're in this together, and we don't know where we are.

I know where we are. Quiet, can't you hear it?

He stood up.

He's being controlled by the bones? What's going on?

This is the ancestral hall of the Wu people.

Ancestral what?

Things are getting complicated.

We'll get to the bottom of this as soon as possible

and give you a satisfactory reply.

As soon as possible? So you aren't even sure if you can solve it?

Even if there is only one mutated butterfly,

it's a fact that the higher ups at the Center were involved

in the corruption and falsification of casualties using lethal organisms.

That's undeniable truth. When will you give us a satisfactory explanation?

We're conducting an internal investigation regarding this matter.

Once we're done, we'll let you know...

We won't be able to tell what you're doing with your internal investigation!

What if you find some scapegoat and blame everything on that person?

We won't be able to tell the truth!

What do you suggest then?

Let us be the impartial third party to investigate the Center.

We'll see if you're hiding any more dirty secrets.

Have you not heard of the Wu people?

So after 1,000 years, no one remembers them anymore.

Anyway, let's catch up to him.

Hey, how many dead bodies are here?

41,636 bodies.

Huh? None of them are intact, how do you know?

Naturally, since I killed them myself.

You don't even remember who you were-- how do you remember these details?

When I came here, I regained some of my memories.

So right after the mind link was broken, your search engine came online?

What a wasted opportunity! This emperor is such a...

Sly fox!

You may be fine, sitting in your comfortable office at Chang'an,

but the infection was detected in Dongzhou! We have the right to know!

Yes! We have to set up supervision teams at the HQ to supervise one another!

Everyone, the Center will give you a satisfactory reply.

Fine! Since you're uncooperative,

don't get involved in our business from here on out.

Yeah! How can you deny us this?

That's right! You're breaking laws left and right!

Yes! We want in! Why won't you let us?

I need to answer this call. Please proceed without me.

I disagree with this!

You're oppressing us!

Manager Xiao, you've finally picked up my call!

Help! Our boss was killed in action!

He was dragged into a black hole by a bunch of skeleton hands and disappeared!

Please send reinforcements!

We have a Mind type agent working hard to locate him, too.

Another thing. Last year my medical report showed that I have arrhythmia.

Can you transfer me to some desk job?

Stop the nonsense!

Monster! Get away from me!

Stop following me!

Hey, where are you going?

What's this?

Illusory Butterfly!

Could this be where the Illusory Butterfly came from?

It's true that I'm investigating its origin,

but you don't have to show up in such huge numbers.

Wait, what are you doing?

Getting to safety! There are so many butterflies here!

You're naturally gifted in Fire powers, so it's not like they can infect you.

A living and breathing man just went inside that cave. I can't just leave him!

Stop!

He's a good-for-nothing fraud. Why do you care about him?

Don't go in any further!

What, senior? Do you know what's inside this cave?

Even the butterflies don't dare to enter this cave.

It's very dangerous. You won't be able to handle it.

Turn back and I'll tell you about the origin of the butterflies.

Is that so?

All the more reason to check it out.

Senior, I think I need to teach you about modern morality,

to keep you up to date with the times.

As long as a person is alive, regardless if he's a good or bad person,

normal or a Supernatural, he'll hold the same basic rights as everyone else.

Even if he did cause harm, he'll still be subjected to law--

What is this place?

We're at the center of the Wu people's ancestral hall.

Those runes look like Thousand Spirits Array.

Who opened the casket?

Casket? Whose casket? There was someone in there?

Why am I back here? Don't come for me! I have nothing to do with it!

It seems you've been here before.

Ask him who opened the casket.

Hey...

There is signal in this god-forsaken place?

Xuan Ji! Where are you? I've called you multiple times!

Calm down, Xiao. I... may be in a tomb somewhere at Dongzhou.

Then just stay in there and never come out!

No, listen. There's a huge bunch of Illusory Butterflies here.

But the butterflies won't come near the casket. Some kind of repellent?

Someone recently opened the casket, and it's now empty.

There are runes of Thousand Spirits Array on the casket.

I may have the suspect with me.

Hold on.

What did you do the last time you came here? Did you open the casket?

Not me, it's Ji Qingchen. He dragged me here in search of a spell jar.

What's a spell jar?

A trade secret of the masters. They're all unearthed from underground.

They say one jar contains the seeds, another jar contains the cure.

They'll use the seed on a target, then remove it with a cure.

It works all the time! And the targets will pay them however much they want.

Who are the masters?

The masters. Those at Elder Yuede's sect all use it.

Say that again? Who?

The 800 disciples of Elder Yuede have to report their feats annually.

If they don't solve enough cases, they'll be expelled for being indiligent.

So in order to solve enough cases, even if there was no case,

the disciples of Elder Yuede will create some on their own?

So even the Supernaturals are bound by KPI?

Elder Yuede must know that his disciples have been using the butterflies,

so he tried to blow up the scandal to cover his own misdeeds!

How dare he rob a mass grave?

Who painted the runes?

It was Ji Qingchen.

We hired a group of grave robbers, and dug all the way here.

An old guy tried to stop them from touching anything here,

saying something was weird with the feng shui here, but they wouldn't listen.

Ji said we should draw the protective runes first to protect ourselves.

When we opened the casket, I saw... a person inside it. He seemed asleep.

His hands, legs, and forehead were nailed to the casket with long nails.

It was as if the robbers were put under a charm and kept shouting "treasure."

They pressed toward the casket and started grabbing anything, including the nails.

But... there was nothing other than the man in there!

Greedy men.

What happened next?

They started fighting each other. Ji and me somehow managed to escape.

A few days later, Ji came to me again.

He said he managed to grab a small jade box while the robbers were fighting.

There was a carving of butterfly on it, and a few small black seeds inside it.

They looked just like those from the spell jar.

We tried it on a young boy.

The previous targets would all listen to our commands after we planted the seed.

But we couldn't control the boy at all.

How many of the seeds did you use?

Just one. We stopped using them after things went wrong.

I thought it would pass if I laid low, but...

But Ji Qingchen died in the Chiyuan Canyon.

It seems the black seeds from the casket are the source of the mutated butterflies.

"Xiao Zheng"

Darn, no signal.

You tried to save this scum just now.

I repeat, even if he deserves some punishment, he shouldn't die here.

So I'll protect him until we escape from here.

Get me out of here.

What's going on?

What's this? Blood pouring out all of a sudden?

Crap, the mist is corrosive!

Hey, are you all right? Hey!
