EPISODE 12

CERTIFICATE OF MEMBERSHIP

TIENTSIN CHARITY HOSPITAL

What if somebody sees us?

Don't worry, the hospital is quarantined. Nobody can get in.

It's too hot.

Put it back or you may get infected!

-You just don't want to see my face. -Nonsense.

NO LOUD NOISES

There's nothing peculiar.

I'll go back and have Si Yu dispose the bodies immediately.

After all, we should be cautious.

It's best to leave now.

Excuse me, I'd like to see Chun Guo. Master Guo.

Right.

But Master Guo is gone.

When did it happen?

From what I know,

it has been quite a while.

Was he buried?

What I meant to say was that he left. So he's not around.

He disappeared. He went missing.

Missing?

How could that be?

Why do you want to see him?

Among the three noblemen who rooted out the Ancient Evil Gang,

Yi-qiu is dead, while Steward Hu is in jail.

That means, the only one left now is Mr. Guo.

Think about it.

The River Monster murder and the floating corpses from the opium house.

Don't you find that strange?

Especially now, when all the elites and media chose to stay discreet.

It's obvious that they're hiding something shady.

Did you hear that?

It is as if something is vibrating.

The sound makes my ears itchy.

Hey.

Hey!

What are you doing there?

NURSE STATION

TIENTSIN CHARITY HOSPITAL

Run!

Dad! It's me, Hai.

Hai!

Ying Gu!

Dad!

Take him to the second floor!

Come.

Go!

Have you finished? Be quick!

Stop! What are you doing?

Run now, quickly!

Stay away from me!

Where is mine?

I want a handy weapon too.

-This is... -This is very handy for a surgery.

Make good use of it, okay?

Let's go.

Take Hai and run! Hurry!

I'm not leaving you here.

Just run away with Hai!

You are wasting time. Leave me!

Run!

I'll get help.

Where is De-you? De-you Guo!

Where is De-you Guo?

Make sure to scold him for me when you see him.

Let him know how stubborn and how heartless he is!

Tell him yourself!

Dad!

Dad!

I'm Hai!

Ying Gu.

Can you hear me?

Hai, run!

He is no longer your dad.

Now is not the time for your scientific experiment!

Just shut up.

Look around, don't...

Don't make any noise!

-What the hell are you doing? -Shut up!

Here is a way out. Hurry up!

Wait.

Give me some time.

Gods of Thunder, show your power.

Be our savior, bind the monster!

Evil spirits, bow and surrender!

It's on fire!

Dad!

Didn't you promise to go fishing with me?

Didn't you promise to make me a kite?

Didn't you promise to make me candied fruit?

Candied fruit that is sweet enough to make my teeth sore!

Which promise did you keep?

You are a liar!

Hai!

Hai!

Mao!

Mao!

Mao!

Useless jerk!

You're the useless jerk!

How is it like over there?

It's blocked.

You keep going.

Tell the Chamber of Commerce that I'm stuck here when you're out.

These broken stones are nothing to me.

I'm the individual with unsurpassed and exceptional abilities.

Just leave. Both of us can't be stuck here.

Leave and get help.

Can't you help?

Stop whining! Let's get you out.

Do you think

as long as the probability is greater than zero

and the sample is large enough,

then anything that can go wrong will go wrong?

How...

How did you get here?

It's dangerous here.

There are many things that are much difficult than you expected.

The more you worry about it, the more likely it will come true.

That's what happened to me. The things I worried about did come true.

President Ding.

That's all because of you.

Well, you...

Who are you?

Whom are you talking to?

Hua-qing Lian.

Who is it?

We met at last.

It took me a lot of effort

to rebuild the Ancient Evil Gang into what it is now.

The Ancient Evil Gang?

The team I tried so hard to put up was burned to ashes by the two of you.

I knew it was you!

But it doesn't matter.

After night comes day.

To you, all of this is about survival.

But to the Ancient Evil Gang, it is a mission.

Mission means suffering.

You had it coming.

Indeed.

But do you know where did it come from?

Hey! Stop right there!

Don't let him get away!

Why are you still standing? You should go after him.

Stop.

Mao!

Get up, I'll carry you out.

Don't move me.

What's wrong? Let me help you.

The wound will get bigger if you move me. If so I might die even faster.

What shall I do then?

Have you done needlework before?

-I've stitched shoe soles. -Take this.

Stitch it up.

-Stitch what up? -My stomach.

Stitch the flesh together.

The tighter, the better.

Listen here.

You need to tie a surgical knot.

Forget it. Just tie a hard knot.

The tighter, the better.

Hey, don't faint now.

It's so dark in here. I can't see anything in this light.

Wake up!

He has woken up!

He has woken up!

Give us a break.

He's really woken up, De-you.

I was woken up by your scream.

Young Master.

Be gentle, please.

-Let him have a glass of water first. -Okay.

How long have you been here?

I'm not here for you anyway.

I'm here to discuss something with Si Yu.

What?

I'll quit the Salvage Team and be done with the river.

What?

I saved President Ding.

-Why would I need to work anymore? -What?

Are you not going to provide for me for the rest of my life?

That makes sense! The more the merrier. Count me in!

If I were to take care of you two for a lifetime,

I would never be free of trouble.

TIENTSIN CHARITY HOSPITAL

Sir, I've looked around this place.

Everything was blown to bits. There's nothing else left.

Have you checked the morgue?

Pardon me?

Have you checked the morgue?

Of course.

But sir, the weird thing is,

the morgue is completely empty.

The corpses are clustered around the lab.

There are several corpses elsewhere, but they were all burned badly.

And I couldn't find anything from them.

Sir.

What do you think we should do?

I have no idea.

Professor, what is the result?

I've studied the egg and the adult insect.

From my investigation, the queen leads the swarm by giving orders

though its wingbeat frequency.

This parasite must live in the water before its metamorphosis.

When it develops into its adult form,

it can enter a mammal's body

through a wound, thus find a host to reproduce asexually.

It can enter the body of a new host

through a new wound and continue to reproduce asexually.

Now I understand it.

Who is this foreigner?

Professor Schroeder was my tutor in Germany.

What was that babbling about?

The insect in the corpses is a rare type of parasite.

Its living habit is very similar to ants'.

It can reproduce asexually in corpses.

The queen controls the swarm by fluttering its wings.

I guess if someone can imitate the queen's wingbeat frequency,

he may be able to give orders to the insects.

It's very likely.

To control the insects is...

To control the corpses.

Do you remember the sound

we heard in the hospital that was similar to the fluttering of insect wings.

Hua-qing.

The Ancient Evil Gang.

I finally know their game.

Knowing is not enough.

We must destroy this evil cult with our own hands.

Professor, does this parasite have any natural enemy?

From your research,

is there any effective way to exterminate its kind?

I can't give you a solid answer since I just started the research.

The insect itself isn't aggressive or infectious.

But after it finds a fit host,

its vigorous ability to control mammals

is rather remarkable.

Especially for human beings. You should be very careful.
