Hurry up!

Are you crazy?

Why did you smash things?

A lion was coming at me.

It was not real.

But I saw with my eyes.

That's human technology.

Virtual Reality just makes you feel real.

Technology... It's human magic, isn't it?

You can say so.

With technology,

Humans are much more powerful.

Given where we're now,

let me take you to another place.

No more technology.

I bet you'll like it.

Mr. Hao?

Mr. Hao?

Are there any green dumplings?

Kui.

Here you are.

Thank you, Mr. Hao.

Don't.

These are the only ones left.

Take them as a gift.

I'd be happier

if you enjoy them.

We definitely do.

Alas.

I'm old.

I have no successor

to this particular craft.

I'm afraid

it will be lost in a few years.

Enjoy.

Stingy as you,

why insist on paying

while he asked for none?

I've been a customer of his since childhood.

I love this taste.

But making green dumplings is a fiddly job.

Now, out of industrialization,

People turn to less tiring businesses.

The house rent is high in this street.

Making dumplings by hand, Mr. Hao is unable to be productive,

so his store runs on meager profit .

I'm not rich,

but I'd make every effort to help him.

It's yummy, isn't it?

Eat some more.

I believe you are seeing someone tonight.

You're right.

Time's up.

Let's go.

Hurry up!

Wait a second!

Young master,

we're neither interested in fortune-telling nor geomancy.

Do you know

there's something sinister on you?

Have you encountered with something strange?

Nope.

To be honest,

there are fox demons

around here.

How does he know that you are...

you are...

He's a demon catcher.

Wow.

Can't believe this profession still exists.

Then you...

No one could catch me.

That man's spirit eyes are yet to open.

He's unable to identify demon,

otherwise he'd have made out what I am.

Then how can he catch a demon?

He's got a demon container,

but I believe he's caught nothing up to now.

Why?

There will be silk threads below the container

if any demon has been exorcised.

The more you catch,

the more threads.

Look, he's got no thread.

He must be a dilettantte.

Why?

Do you expect him

to catch me?

Nonsense.

I'm just curious.

You're right.

He's just a newbie.

Hello, Kui.

I'm in Dong'an Square.

And you?

I've got something urgent to deal with.

I'm afraid I'm not available.

I'm sorry

that I stand you up.

It's alright.

I've just arrived.

OK.

I'll see you

another day.

OK.

Bye.

Let's go.

My friend is not available.

We met last night.

Do you remember?

You're a student of this college?

No doubt you're haunted by sinisterness.

What's wrong?

What are you doing here?

I can sense

a fox

in this college.

So,

I've brought talismans to get it exorcised.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Si Chen,

a demon catcher.

That damned fox was right.

He's a demon catcher just in name.

Completely unqualified.

You don't believe me?

Do you know these?

These are the talismans handed on from my forefathers.

Any demon coming near it

would be forced to restore to its original form,

unable to do evil for good.

Is it really efficacious?

Of course!

Genuine goods at a fair price.

No fake, no cheating.

Can I have one?

No problem.

Ten yuan each.

Can't you just give it to me for free?

No.

Pay for it.

Take it.

You can either stick it to the front door,

or

to the forehead of the demon.

By the way,

what's your name?

Xia Kui.

Kui.

You need an incantation

to activate this talisman.

What?

Very simple.

I'll teach you.

Keep it in mind.

Move fast.

Keep calm.

Troubles will be gone

once I stick this to his forehead.

"Heaven and earth,

give me strength.

Turn evil to good,

and prick demon like a sword.

Strengthen my spirit

and show glory.

Power displayed,

and demons exorcised."

Abracadabra!

Down!

Well, well.

Look at this crap.

I should have known

that TV series are deceiving.

Really...

I was playing joke on you,

to add some spice

to our life.

Don't take it seriously.

Wait.

This talisman doesn't work for me.

The 3-month deal

seems

too easy for you.

No no no!

Definitely not.

Three months is...

...good.

I'm content with it.

"Good"?

No no no!

= Anima 100 =

You asked for it.

Three months is now shortened to two.

I'm terribly sorry.

I won't do that again!

Do that again,

and I'll kill you for sure.

Do you prefer medium well

or medium rare?

Please!

I prefer medium rare,

for meat's fresh,

and chewy.

Help!

Right.

That's him.

He pastes something strange every day,

and promotes bad quality goods to students.

He's a fraud!

Hey, you!

What are you doing?

Don't tell others.

There's a demon

in this college.

- I was pasting... - Fraud.

Leave now!

What do you want?

Listen to me.

Don't...

Do you know what a demon container means to a demon catcher?

If you dare break my container,

I'll give you a punch!

Stop your superstitious crap.

Leave now,

or I'll make you leave with violence.

Calm down.

I'll leave.

Now!

I'm leaving.

I'm leaving right now.

I'm leaving!

I must be the biggest fool in the world

to trust this novice.

Excuse me.

You're Xia Kui, right?

Mu Ran.

Zhou Jing told me

that you asked for me.

Yeah...

That was because...

Can you do me a favour?

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

- I'd like Americano. - I'd like Lemonade.

I'd like Americano, too.

Alright.

Two Americanos.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

My pleasure.

Are you alright?

You're not used to bitter flavour, are you?

I seldom drink coffee.

But I'll get used to it.

I'll have coffee every day.

And I'll learn to make coffee.

I'll learn to like anything

that you like.

I seldom drink coffee, too.

I usually saw you in this cafe.

I thought you like it here.

So here we are.

That's because...

you passes by this cafe every day.

So we were just guessing each other's thoughts...

You don't have to follow every step I take.

I understand.

I knew you wouldn't like my doing these.

From now on,

I'm not disturbing you any more.

I mean,

You don't need to drink coffee

nor wait in this cafe.

Just be yourself.

Because

I like the way you truly are.

Mu Ran told me how he felt.

Kui,

come to my house this weekend.

My treat.

OK.

Spare me some luck.

I envy you so much.

When would Zhou Jing tell me how he feels?

Well,

tell me what you like,

and I'll prepare for you.

Meat.

A lot of meat.

I'd like to pack some up.

I know.

To feed a dog.

Wow.

How did you get this?

Online shopping.

Online shopping?

Do you have money?

Nan Jiao gave me a card,

saying I could buy whatever I like.

Ultima!

What's the password?

Nan Jiao asked me

not to tell you.

I'm having dinner at a friend's house.

Dried beef's on the table.

Grab a bite.

I'll bring you some more meat tonight.

It's a tiny flat.

Help yourself to a seat.

It's nice here.

Very tidy.

Here.

Thank you.

I'm cooking.

Do you need help?

No.

Tu Shan,

What's the secret you wanna tell me?

It's right in this room.

Try to find out yourself.

Today he visited my stall,

wearing a blue jacket.

Quite charming.

Recipe for today: scrambled eggs and chicken cutlet.

It's raining today.

I've waited so long in the cafe before seeing him running by.

I was anxious to bring him an umbrella.

I haven't seen him for three days.

Finally we encountered each other today.

I've found it.

You've found it?

I've found the one I love.

What's wrong?

What... is that?

Mu Ran.

What are you?

I'm...

Stay away!

Mu Ran,

the secret's in the glass balls.

Do you remember?

I had a crush on you long before.

We used to...

Stay away from me!

You demon!

Stay away from me!

Stay where you are!

Kui?

It's you!

It's dangerous here.

A fox is nearby.

Stay away from me.

Babble again,

and I'll call the police.

I'm telling the truth!

I mean it.

A fox is nearby!

Help!

Help!

Help! Pervert!

Take care.

What happened?

That's the pervert!

Tu Shan?

Tu Shan?

Tu Shan...

You are...

A fox.

Do you think you can get out?

Tu Shan,

what's this all about?

Aren't you together with Mu Ran?

I followed your advice,

told him how I felt,

and became his girlfriend.

But... seems like I screwed up.

He's scared of what I am.

So...

I have to seek help from the Jing Yuan spirit bead.

No, please don't.

The bead's not mine,

nor can I take it off.

Why are you so mean?

Aren't we friends?

Hello?

I can give you anything,

anything but the spirit bead!

The tales about it are not true!

It won't make your wish come true!

Don't make me hurt you.

What do you want it for?

Maybe I can help.

Can you make Mu Ran fall in love with a fox again?

There's nothing you can do,

except handing out the bead.

Why can't I take it off?

The spirit bead's already part of me.

You can't make it.

Sorry.

Then I have to kill you for it.

Tu Shan!

She's mine.

Bai Xiao.

Mom!

Where are you?

Hi.

I'll help you find your mom.

Come with me.

Mom!

Where have you been?

I'm worried to death!

I got lost.

A friend led me home.

A friend?

I'm leaving.

These are all the glass balls I've got.

Now they're yours.

Will we meet again?

Of course.

Mu Ran,

Get in the car.

Stop!

She's my friend!

So you've known each other since eight.

Yes.

Since then,

I had a crush on him.

I found him,

fell for him,

and finally became his girlfriend.

But now...

I don't think the spirit bead can make your wish come true.

Maybe from the beginning,

Mu Ran was not that into you.

If I fall in love with someone,

no matter what he is,

human,

demon,

grass,

tree,

stone,

dust,

or air,

I'll love him anyway.

Aren't you afraid?

No.

Why?

Because I love him.

You are naive.

What's the second commandment in the demon world?

Do you remember?

"You shall not fall in love with humans."

If we get close to humans,

any body contact

would shorten their lifespan

or even cost their life.

The borderline between human and demon is not to cross.

Even if you regain his love with the spirit bead,

after being together for a year or two,

he'd die of cardiac failure.

This relationship is fruitless.

Right...

At the age of eight,

I grew wildly,

and started to have moustache...

My mother thought it was the geomancy of our house...

so we moved from that place.

No wonder I suddenly had a period days ago,

and had greater appetite.

I had body contact with Bai Xiao.

No, no.

I don't wanna die young.

I'm not together with her!

I don't see why

you had a crush on such a coward.

Why not just kill him

to ease your pain.

No!

Forget it.

He's just a human with a limited lifespan.

Spare his life. Let him live.

Eyes on him for so long

that I nearly forget what I was like.

You're male, Tu Shan.

yeah.

Mu Ran,

can we stay together forever?

You fool,

we'll both grow up,

get married,

and stay with our wife.

Then I'll be your wife.

How can you? You're male.

I hate wearing skirts,

dislike reading books,

and detest the smell of smoke.

Now, I'm also

tired of human beings.

I'm going back to the mountain.

Tu Shan,

Can you give me some anima?

OK.

Thank you.

And thank you.

I'll find someone love me no matter what I am.

You will.

twenty.

You fox demon!

There you are!

You shall be exorcised today!

Don't kill him, Tu Shan!

This novice is no threat to you!

Get some expertise before starting your career, OK?

Mu Ran,

what happened today shall be known to nobody,

especially Zhou Jing.

You know,

I can kill you at any time.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Don't end up like me.

Never fall for a human girl.

I'm not an idiot.

What were you guys doing

with eyes turning red?

That's our fox occult for communication.

What did he say?

He congratulated me

that in two months

I can take the spirit bead.

Aren't you hot?

Not all at.

I'm not having any body contact with you.

I don't wanna have a period every day.

Hurry.

To the inner room.

Watch out.

It's quite expensive.

Take care.

Sorry,

but could you please come in through the front door?

Where's Bai Xiao?

In the bathroom.

Si Chen?

Wife!

What did you call me?

"Wife".

What's wrong with you?

I'm not your wife.

What's this?

A damned container.

That's the point!

Ordinary people cannot see demon containers.

There's an old tale in my family that

she who sees the container can be the wife of a demon catcher.

So,

You're destined to be my wife.

My container!

Kui,

You left your A cup in the bathroom.

So small.

Get out of my house!

I want normal roomates!

You've went through all the formalities?

Yes.

Why do you choose to go abroad?

I wanna leave for a while.

Keep in contact.

Zhou Jing,

stay away

from the girl named Kui.
