"Episode 6 Aluojin"

Boss!

Answer me if you can hear me!

What is this god-forsaken place? Even the trees are weird.

Are you all right? You've been crying since you arrived at the hill.

I don't know why, but this place makes me feel sad.

Is it caused by your empathic power?

Is Captain Xuan so sad that he's about to cry?

I'm not sure. You know my power is unstable.

Oh, found it!

You found our captain?

I found a spot where we can rest!

I think Manager Xiao will have better luck than us.

The number you dialed is not in the service area, please try again later.

It's me, Xiao Zheng. The Aftermath Response Team is in trouble.

Send the nearest Secret Service to Dongzhou to back them up.

Make sure you pick the best agents.

You better be safe, Xuan Ji.

We meet again, senior.

I think it's time you tell me the truth. Who are you?

How did you become alive again? And...

How did he die?

This is the Wu people's ancestral hall, after all.

Someone used the Wu's spell to revive me. The rune is carved inside the casket.

As long as a spirit is present, its body can be reconstructed with the spell.

My spirit was inside your sword,

so when it fell into the casket, I regained my body.

The Wu people sure created many evil spells.

It's people who use the spells for evil things,

yet you blame it on the spells.

You wanted to know the origin of the Human-faced Butterfly, didn't you?

The Wu ancestors created the butterflies to summon the dead.

It can make the dead act exactly as if they're still alive,

and have a final conversation with their family,

then their Elder will remove the butterfly and bury the dead.

The ritual can't actually revive the dead, but it can give closure to the living.

It's just a little trick of the Wu people.

If the spell that caused such an uproar at the Center is but a little trick,

how powerful would their great spell be?

During the Human-Fiend War, people died in droves.

It was thanks to the Wu people offering humans their own highly guarded spells...

...that the humans managed to seize the chance to fight back.

Obviously their spells were powerful.

Wait, I'm not good at history.

Human-Fiend War? What year was that?

Is he talking about the Jiuzhou War from 3,000 years ago?

I hate being restrained the most.

Wait, if he's an emperor from that era, then...

Could he be... the Human Emperor, Sheng Xiao?

"Emperor Wu of Qi, Sheng Xiao"

Wait, that can't be.

If what you said is true, then the Wu people were allies of humans.

But you also said you killed the Wu people here.

Senior, how do you explain this?

I killed the Wu people to save more lives.

Save more lives?

Who's there?

A fiend?

Aluojin.

Are you happy to see me, Brother Lingyuan?

Who is this?

He is the one who cast the spell to restore my body,

and the one who was lying in the casket, the last leader of Wu people, Aluojin.

Why would he revive you? You... Are you two alive or dead?

The grave robbers summoned him with the Thousand Spirits Array. What do you think?

"Demon"

Another demon? Could it be...

Another demon? Could it be...

"Misfortune"

What is this? This thing is definitely infected with a virus!

What is this? This thing is definitely infected with a virus!

Brother Lingyuan.

There are so many things I want to tell you. Let me first...

...get rid of the hindrance!

Have you gone bonkers after sleeping for so long?

We just met, why would you attack me?

We are catching up on old times, why are you here?

Besides, I hate...

...the smell of your fire.

Hey, you're being unreasonable.

Crap, there are two demons here. If they join hands...

Where did the demon go?

Aluojin.

Aluojin, come here, let me take a good look at you.

This guy is trying to charm people again.

Brother Lingyuan.

And it works every time!

I was trapped here all alone for a long time.

Then those guys forcefully woke me up with the Thousand Spirits Array.

I followed the guy around and noticed your presence, so I dragged you over here.

I didn't expect you to be inside a sword, so I rebuilt your body for you.

I know.

Brother Lingyuan, I miss you.

I know.

The outside world is full of fun things now.

When it's night time, there are all sorts of different colored lights.

The streets are full of sweet smells, and it's more lively than a New Year's party.

They sure live good lives, Brother Lingyuan.

But what have they done to deserve it?

I hate them.

Watch out!

If you're not happy about it, then close your eyes and stop looking.

Aluojin, why did you wake up?

To rekindle the flames of Chiyuan, naturally.

You can't.

Chiyuan again? Two Thousand Spirits Array were cast,

and both times, someone wanted to rekindle the flames. This is no coincidence.

Why can't I, Brother Lingyuan?

I'm curious, if you had another chance to relive your life,

what would you choose? Would you still kill us?

I knew it, this is not a dream!

You're the real emperor. Who else could be as cold as you?

Who else deserves the title of the ruthless Human Emperor?

You... Are you really that Xiao...

Help! Earthquake!

It seems it has subsided.

I thought I'd be killed in action.

What are you looking at?

I seem to have heard something just now. Like someone is calling for their kin.

Who would come to this god-forsaken place?

It's our ally! Manager Xiao has sent Aeolus to help us.

They're asking us to send them our location.

"Breaking News: Earthquake at Dongzhou"

"Breaking News: Earthquake at Dongzhou" "You have a new message"

"Aeolus Team One is heading toward our excavation site"

"Keep it a secret at all cost. Destroy all evidence"

You intruded into our place; don't even think of leaving.

There has only been one person who was called the Human Emperor.

The emperor who killed the Fiend King 3,000 years ago

and calmed the Chiyuan flames,

ensuring the survival of human kind. Emperor Wu of Qi, Sheng Xiao.

How can he be a sweet-talking pretty boy?

Besides, he's called the Human Emperor, but he's not human.

How did he become a demon?

What is missing from the history records?

What is this place?

What's going on? Am I dead? Or is he dead?

This place was created by one of the seven greatest spells of the Wu people.

It's called Retrospection.

The one I nailed on the wall must be a puppet of Aluojin.

The spell must have been hidden in its blood.

I was careless.

Once the spell is cast, if there's a past you can't let go of,

you'll be stuck there until you die.

Sorry to disturb your reminiscing, but I just thought of a serious problem.

You came out of the sword, but where is my sword now?

Your Majesty, would you please return my sword? That's my one and only natal sword.

I'm sorry, that was my... remains.

I'm sorry, I must have misheard. That was your what?

That big sword I used to cut down enemies, that was your... remains?

The thing you left behind after you died?

Yes, my corpse.

Then what am I?

A handsome, limited edition cinerary casket?

Back then, I jumped into the flames of Chiyuan.

Though I perished, my corpse survived the flames.

I guess your ancestors took my corpse...

...and used an ancient technique to preserve it within a living body.

Who are you to my ancestors?

I don't know, maybe they just wanted to make use of my corpse.

That is...?

The guy in the lead was the Wu people's leader. He's carrying me on his back.

That gave me a fright. The kid looks just like that guy.

Yes, that is Aluojin.

Is that the prince? For real? Let me take a look!

Were you hurt?

My father died in a battle at Chiyuan, and the nation was in peril.

People desperately needed some hope, so a rumor started spreading.

The prince who was born among millions of angry souls will carry the burden...

...of his father and brothers' deaths and exterminate the fiends.

And the prince was...

Yes, it was me.

Such nonsense can only fool uncivilized people and fiends.

I have been a thorn to the Fiend King since birth,

and he's always been after my life.

At the age of ten, I was separated from my master and betrayed by my kin.

Three great fiends came after me and chased me all the way to Dongzhou.

All 12 of my royal guards were killed,

but the Wu people rescued me in my most desperate moment.

The Wu people have always lived in Dongzhou,

worshiping nature, believing that spirits reside in everything.

Dongzhou was indeed a magical place,

and I hid myself in this abundant land for six years.
