He Xiao.

He Xiao.

[Death Town]

In the early years of
the Republic of China,

people were displaced by
the war to this place,

which was surrounded by
mountains and isolated.

Blessed by Ayi the god,
they were able to live and work happily.

But for some unknown reason,
Ayi's temper changed dramatically...

Darn it.

The brave get everything,
and the timid starve.

[Forbidden Ground]

Mayor, Luo Si has gone missing.

He went fishing yesterday
and didn't come back at night.

Where did he go fishing?

I don't know.

Chen Mo, send someone
to search for him quickly.

Understood.

Wanliang, notify our men
to go search the Big Bay, Qianluo Shoal,

and Zhaojia River.

Understood.

Where could Luo Si have gone?

Mad Yang?

What are you doing here?

Hurry back home.

No one can take my roast chicken.

No one can take my roast chicken.

Mad Yang, come back.

What's wrong, Captain?

What are you yelling for?

Perfect timing.

Catch him and bring him back
before he gets away.

Well, Captain,

that's forbidden ground.

I dare not go there.

What are you afraid of?
Man up. I'm here with you.

Let's go.

I...

Let's go.

Mad Yang?

Mad Yang?

Mad Yang?

Mad Yang?

Mad Yang?

Stop yelling.

Captain,

it's Luo Si.

All this fuss on the 1st
and 15th of each lunar month.

We have to greet this shabby painting.

We can't even have enough sleep.

Captain,

this must be the wrath of Ayi.

Just like your parents back then...

I told you a thousand times

that the Enchanted Forest
is forbidden ground.

There are always some who don't listen.

They harbor a stroke of luck
to hunt or fish.

This is the consequence of disobedience.

The Enchanted Forest is the place
where our god Ayi cultivates.

How can you disturb him?

Mayor,

since the Enchanted Forest
is Ayi's place of cultivation,

why have all those
who strayed there died?

What exactly does he practice?

Killing people?

Is he a god

or a ghost?

How dare you!

How dare you question a god?

Someone! Take her away!

Let me go!

Ayi is a demon.

He's a demon who kills.

Let me go.

Mayor,

take care of yourself.

Everyone, dismissed.

Captain,

this must be the wrath of Ayi.

Father,

Mother,

Luo Si died.

Just like you did back then.

[Xu Rong, Beloved Mother,
Chen Bai, Beloved Father]

I haven't prepared much food.

Make do with it.

Captain,

I've treasured

this jar of wine for many years.

If it weren't for apologizing to you,

I wouldn't bear to bring it out.

Watch your big mouth.

There are some peanuts. I'll get them.

No need, Captain.

- No need.
- Captain.

Captain.

Hey, Wanliang,

what are you apologizing for?

Did your big mouth babble again?

It's nothing.

Wanliang,

how did you piss the captain off?

Tell us about it.

I said it was nothing. Why ask?

Wanliang, are you scared?

I'm scared of nothing.

Actually, it's nothing.

It's just that I saw Luo Si's dead body,

and he died just like Chen Mo's parents.

But at that time, you were still young.

I saw their bodies with my own eyes.

Did Captain's parents also die
because they angered Ayi?

Captain, I just remembered

that I haven't fed the cow.

I will go home to feed the cow
and come back immediately.

It looks like rain.

I need to go home and get the quilts.

Captain, I must go.

I'll come back later.

I...

I must go back, Captain.

I have to go back.

I'll come back later.

Well.

Ouch, my stomach.

Captain, I should go.

I'll come back later.

Who are you?

Where am I?

Why am I here?

Why did you hit me?

I kindly carried you back here.

Otherwise, you would have died.

What are you doing?

I see your clothes are soaked through.

Wearing wet clothes
could give you a cold.

These are my mother's clothes.

You can wear them.

Slow down.

If it's not enough,

I'll heat up some more buns.

You haven't answered my questions yet.

This is Wuchang Town.

I am the captain
of the Wuchang Town patrol team,

Chen Mo.

How on earth did you get here?

My name is Bai Shuang.

I'm from Jiangsu.

Our village was invaded by bandits.

So

I fled with my family.

I was chased by the bandits
and accidentally fell off a cliff.

There was a river
at the bottom of the cliff.

And I clung to a piece of wood.

I don't know how long I drifted.

Then I ended up here.

Thank you for the meal.

I'll leave once I'm full.

You can't get out.

What do you mean?

No one can leave Wuchang Town.

How is that possible?

The place where you fell unconscious
is called the Enchanted Forest.

It's the forbidden ground
of Wuchang Town.

Once someone
enters the forbidden ground,

they will be punished by Ayi the god.

What forbidden ground?

And what is Ayi?

It's a new era now.

How come you are still so superstitious?

[The Intruder]

Mrs. Luo?

Are you home?

Mrs. Luo?

Mrs. Luo?

I brought you some eggs.

Goodness, it's almost noon,
and you're sleeping in?

Your husband died.

But life must go on.

I know you're sad.

When my husband passed away,

I was also heartbroken.

But, as you see,

I live well now, don't I?

Mrs. Luo?

Mrs. Luo?

Mrs. Luo?

Wake up.

[Luo Si, Beloved Husband]

She died!

You're awake.

Thank you for saving me.

But I still need to ask you for a favor.

Can you take me out of here?

Didn't I tell you everything yesterday?

You can't leave Wuchang Town.

Do you think I want to keep you here?

I'm afraid

that you will enrage Ayi.

What Ayi?

I'm afraid you might die a sudden death

because you trespassed
on the forbidden ground.

Where are you going?

To patrol.

Then I'll leave by myself.

Stay put right here.

If someone finds out
that a stranger has come,

they will definitely offer you to Ayi.

What nonsense are you talking about?

If you don't want to die,
you'll have to listen to me.

My apprentice.

Make way, please.

Wanliang.

Captain,

more work.

Doctor Cheng,

I'm sorry for your loss.

I will sponsor it

and have someone arrange the funeral

for He Xiao.

Everyone, back to work.

Dismissed.

Alright?

Back to work.

Chen Mo.

Mayor.

Take a few people

to handle He Xiao's funeral.

Okay.

He Xiao.

Xiu.

Xiu.

Quickly bring me my medicine.

Coming.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Dear, it has gotten colder.

Be careful not to catch a cold.

Put this on.

Alright.

By the way, dear.

We're running out of medicine.

I'll go get some more
from Doctor Cheng later.

Wait.

The weather has turned cooler.

Later,

ask Ci

to bring him some thick clothes.

Okay. Leave it to me.

Remember to boil down three bowls to one

and have one dose daily.

Okay.

This is the prescription.

Thank you, doctor.

Alright, please take care.

Ma'am,

you are here.

Please, have a seat.

I have come to get some medicine
for my husband.

It has been prepared already.

Honey,

you have no idea how much
I've been missing you.

From now on, I can come whenever I want.

Really?

Let's talk inside the room.

The old man's medicine.

What's up, Cheng?

You want me to leave after enjoying me?

Oh, my.

It's not like that.

When will these days come to an end?

Don't worry.

It won't be long.

What do you mean?

I'm coming.

Our town doesn't even

have a kitten, a puppy, or a hedgehog.
What's the point of patrol?

Patrol for what?

And patrol where?

Exactly.

Zhu Wuliu?

Who is it?

He's drunk every single day.

I haven't drunk much.

No wonder you can't find a wife.

Be quiet.

Do you know where the exit is?

I'm going to let you go now.

Don't yell. Do you hear me?

Help!

Shut up.

Who is it?

I'm sorry.

I just don't get it.

Do you really want to go out that much?

Don't you want to go out?

Why would I?

I'm pretty good here.

But I have to go out.

Captain!

Captain, open the door!

Captain, open the door quickly.

Captain!

Captain!

What's all the noise about
early in the morning?

Zhu Wuliu is dead.

[Conspiracy]

Okay, stop.

Please handle the next shipment

according to the instructions here.

Okay.

Then I'll take my leave.

Put the dishes on the table.
We will drink outside.

Okay.

Wanliang, what's that smell on you?

It stinks. When was it
you bathed last time?

It's the smell from the uniform.

Mayor doesn't even provide us
with extra uniforms.

Darn it, our patrol team has turned
into a funeral team.

We've buried four people in three days.

I'm exhausted.

Stop talking and come lift the table.

Yes, usually,

we'd just be looking for cats
or walking dogs.

There wouldn't be such tiring work.

That's right.

Alright.

Quit whining.

Today, I'll treat you to wine.

There is something to discuss
with you all.

- What is it, Captain?
- What is it?

Just say it.

We'll go through all hardships for you

without even blinking our eyes.

- Yeah!
- Then you all better not blink later.

What's the matter?

- What is it?
- Let's sit down and talk.

Sit.

- What's the matter?
- Tell us quickly.

Bai Shuang,

come out and meet my brothers.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

Captain,

good for you.

Living with a pretty girl, huh?

Where is she from?

She's an outsider.

I was wondering why people
kept dying every day.

So it's because an outsider has come.

Did you anger

Ayi the god?

There are no gods in this world at all.

Captain, there's an emergency.

My cow is giving birth...

Everyone, sit down.

Don't make excuses.

Wanliang,

both of us have been
to the Enchanted Forest.

If the god truly exists,

how come neither of us is dead?

- Exactly.
- Right.

So, there's no such thing as Ayi at all.

The people who recently died
in this town

were murdered.

Since the god does not exist,

we should find the real murderer.

All that trouble for nothing.

We just buried them,
and now we need to dig them out again.

Let me do it.

But what's so strange

about the mud under the fingernails?

Zhu Wuliu and He Xiao died
on the street.

But there's no such red mud
on the street.

When we carried Luo Si,

the mud we found under the body

was red.

The Enchanted Forest?

Right.

I actually want to meet this Ayi
you speak of.

Now?

Yes.

Now is not a good time.

The streets are full of people.

You will be discovered.

Isn't this just an ordinary forest?

It's not as bizarre as you say it is.

What's there to be afraid of?

I have a feeling

that as long as
I get to the bottom of this,

I can find the way out.

Why do you stop?

We've arrived.

This is where we found Luo Si's body.

Red mud.

Chen Mo, come here quickly.

Do you know whose this is?

Mayor.

Sit.

Did you know Chen Mo has been
investigating the Enchanted Forest?

He'll find nothing.

I'm neat and careful.

What if

he finds out something?

You shouldn't have spared
this troublemaker from the beginning.

If it weren't for
that his father had helped me,

how could I possibly
have kept this scourge?

It's my fault for being soft-hearted.

Then why do you still want
to marry Yuan Ci off to him?

So you mean...?

A thumb ring?

Is it Luo Si's?

How could Luo Si possibly
have such a valuable thing?

Who could wear

such a valuable ring?

Could it be

- the town mayor?
- Impossible.

He never wears a thumb ring.

Then whose is this?

Mo?

Mo, are you home?

I'm coming.

What brings you here?

Father sent me.

He said it's getting cold and asked me
to bring over some thick clothes.

Thank you, Ci.

I'll take them inside.

If they don't fit,
I can help you alter them.

No need.

I can take them myself.

Mo,

is there someone hiding

inside your house?

No, there isn't.

Then, why won't you let me in?

Well, you've grown up, haven't you?

We should keep our social distance.

Or it's not good for your reputation.

I don't mind. Why would you?

Hey, wait.

Well...

I...

Isn't this

for your consideration?

For my consideration?

I think you should consider
for yourself.

Why is that?

Actually, I came today

to propose to you.

What?

What do you mean 'what'?

You've known that I like you
since we were kids.

And yet you still play dumb.

Today, I just want you to make it clear

whether you like me or not.

I...

Or is it that

you already have someone?

No, I don't.

How could I possibly like anyone else
besides you?

Ci

Has always liked you

since childhood.

What do you think of Ci?

Father,

although I am not your flesh and blood,

I regard you as my own father

and Yuan Ci as my sister.

Well,

I simply

want to entrust Ci

to you.

Father,

Ci is still young.

I've always treated you
as my own sister.

What kind of brother
marries his own sister?

But we don't have
any blood relation at all.

Ci, even though
we have no blood relation,

I still can't marry you.

Why?

You don't like me?

I do like you.

But I can't marry you right now.

Then why is that exactly?

As for the reason,

I'll tell you later.

It's getting late.

I'll take you home.

If you don't tell me today,
I won't leave.

The whole town will know.

Let me put it this way.

I am the patrol captain now.

And everyone is saying

I got this position
because of your father's influence.

Liu Wanliang joined the patrol
years before me.

Normally,

he should be the captain.

If I married you,

with his big mouth,

he'd definitely spread rumors
that I'm a kept man.

How could I hold my head up

in the town afterwards?

Do you care that much
about what others think

without any regard for my feelings?

I didn't come just
to bring you clothes today.

Father wants you to come over
for dinner tonight.

He has something to discuss with you.

Come on out.

Bai Shuang,

give me a hand.

Captain,

give me a hand, please.

Just come out.

Well,

someone even sent you
some thick clothes.

Exactly. And they said
they were handmade,

and that if the size weren't right,
they could even be altered.

I'm so jealous.

Get lost.

Captain, what you did
was really not right.

Why do you have opinions
about everything?

Wait.

Where's the thumb ring?

I have it here.

If the mayor never wore this thumb ring,

who else in the town could wear it?

Yeah, Captain, don't you frequent
the mayor's house?

You've never seen him wear it
in private?

No.

I'm going to have dinner
with them tonight.

I'll take the opportunity to ask him.

He,

do you think Captain
can figure this out?

Could it be that there's really no god?

Stop it. Don't talk nonsense.

Have you guys seen Wanliang tonight?

He could be slacking off anywhere.

I saw him killing a chicken
at home earlier this evening.

And right now,

he's probably
on his third round of drinks.

Let's go have a look.

Maybe we can even
have some chicken soup as well.

- Let's go.
- Go.

Mo,

it's been a long time
since we've had a meal together.

Father, I remember the last time
was at the Double Ninth Festival.

That's right.

It really is a coincidence.

Come on, Captain Chen. Have a drink.

Eat some more.

Father,

Yuan Ci said you had something important
to discuss with me.

Yes, the thing is,

my health is getting worse,

and I'm getting on in years.

I would like you

to take charge of Wuchang Town.

Come on.

Eat well and drink well.

Mo, about what I said,

give it some good thought.

Okay,

Father.

Captain Chen,
what are you still hesitating for?

The mayor holds you in such high regard.

Come on. Have another drink.

Sorry, Doctor Cheng.

I really can't drink anymore.

Captain Chen,
with such a low alcohol tolerance,

how will you handle big tasks
by the mayor's side in the future?

Come on. Drink up.

Come on, Mo.

- Okay.
- Cheers.

Wait.

What?

Do you see someone over there?

It seems like it.

Let's go take a look.

You guys go ahead.

I have to leave for a moment.

Okay.

Captain Chen?

Captain Chen?

Have another drink.

I can't drink anymore.

Bad news!

Something's happened.

What happened?

Wanliang is dead.

Who's dead?

Liu Wanliang is dead.

Let's go.

Take me to the scene.

Father,

Doctor Cheng,

something's happened.

I must leave now.

Let's go.

Mad Yang?

Where's Bai Shuang?

Bai Shuang?

Mr. Yang isn't crazy.

He's just been pretending
to be crazy all along.

If it hadn't been for Mr. Yang tonight,

I would have been killed by Yuan Ci.

What?

What on earth is going on?

I've been watching you.

You're right in your thinking.

The whole Wuchang Town

is all a conspiracy.

A huge conspiracy

masterminded by Yuan Peilin.

What else do you know?

Thirty years ago, Yuan Peilin
accidentally discovered this place.

So he brought a group
of men and moved in.

And he also found
some displaced people outside.

Thus, he established
the current Wuchang Town.

However, Yuan Peilin
contracted a strange illness.

So he sought
medical treatment everywhere.

And eventually, he found Doctor Cheng.

When Doctor Cheng first arrived,

Yuan Peilin's condition improved.

But you know what?

The medicine he took

was actually made
with human hearts and blood.

So he fabricated
this so-called god, Ayi,

and made up a rumor
that the Enchanted Forest was off-limits.

Yuan Peilin's daughter, Yuan Ci,

and Doctor Cheng

are both hitmen for Yuan Peilin.

Yuan Ci?

Her kung fu was taught by me.

And no one opposed him?

At the beginning,

Yuan Peilin did not take high doses.

So nobody noticed.

But recently, for some unknown reason,
his dosage has drastically increased,

which has led to one death every day.

Then my parents...

That's right.

They also died
at the hands of Yuan Peilin.

Doctor Cheng took their hearts
and drained their blood.

Yuan Peilin wants
to be the local despot here.

We must crush his conspiracy,

find the way out,

and give the people of Wuchang Town
a true paradise.

[The Truth]

How did Liu Wanliang die?

How he died is not important.

What matters is
that Chen Mo is still alive.

If he is not dead,

our problem can't be solved.

Since the underhand method doesn't work,

let's go about it openly.

Ci,

I was just about to look for you.

Alright.

Father,

I don't want to kill anymore.

I am your daughter,
not your executioner.

You know that I like Chen Mo.

Yet you want me to kill the one I like.

I am not as heartless as you.

After all, Chen Mo is your adopted son.

You could even lay hands
on your own adopted son.

Is your own daughter your next target?

Shut up.

So you don't want to kill anymore?

You think you can just turn back now?

If Chen Mo were
to get to the bottom of this,

it's not just my life that would end.

You would have to die too.

The entire Wuchang Town

was built by me.

Without me,

they would have died out there long ago.

Now I only need a few lives
to cure my illness.

Is that not allowed?

I know

that you've always liked Chen Mo.

If I didn't appreciate him,
would I have taken him as my son?

But of all things,

he just had to meddle in my business.

What can I do?

I can only let him die
at the hands of Ayi

before he tells anyone.

Ci,

your mother died young.

And I

have always been busy
with the affairs of the town

and neglected your feelings.

Actually,

I've had enough of this town
for a long time.

But you know about my illness.

You cannot just watch as this illness

tortures me in every way, right?

Ci...

Let me kiss you once more.

Hurry and go.

Or my husband will find out.

You're no fun.

What are you afraid of?

Xiu,

give me the medicine.

What are you doing?

You...

The medicine.

Now that you've found out about us...

Give me the medicine.

I might as well tell you the truth.

Actually, you do not have
any strange diseases.

Nor do you have an incurable illness.

I've simply added

a bit of morphine to your medicine.

Do you know what morphine is?

It is really good stuff.

Just a little bit of it

can make one forget the pain.

However, there is a downside.

After taking it for a long time,

there will be a sense of dependency.

Let's put it this way.

It means you'll get addicted

and you can't live without it.

The medicine.

Right, I forgot
to tell you another thing.

Actually, your illness

doesn't need human blood
as medicine at all.

It's just that I need
a large number of hearts

to make money. That's all.

You old thing!

Do you think you are
still the town's decision-maker?

Do you think you are
the local emperor here?

As I see it,

you are just a dog that can't leave me.

Yuan Peilin,

I'll be honest with you.

Once I make enough money,
I'll leave naturally.

It's getting late.

Don't forget the big day tomorrow.

Urgh...

Attention.

The mayor is going
to hold a town-wide meeting.

Hurry to the shrine.

Attention.

It's not the 1st or 15th
of the lunar month. Why the meeting?

- Exactly.
- Don't you know?

Liu Wanliang has died.

Liu Wanliang from the patrol team?

The way he died

was the same as the others before him.

He must have offended Ayi.

Otherwise, how could he
have suffered divine punishment?

Exactly.

Hurry.

How did this statue fall over?

What's the matter, Mayor?

What happened?

What has happened?

What's going on?

Who did this?

Where is Chen Mo?

I don't know.

Perhaps he's still at home sleeping.

Could it really be

Chen Mo, my unruly son?

Why would he be so impulsive

as to anger Ayi?

Does he really want all of us

to join him in death?

Folks, last night, when Chen Mo
was drinking at the mayor's house,

he talked nonsense

and said some things

that were disrespectful to Ayi.

He even threatened to burn Ayi's statue.

Burn Ayi's statue?

Did Captain destroy the statue
because of Liu Wanliang's death?

He wants to get us all killed.

Mayor, we have to arrest Chen Mo

and present him to Ayi.

Right.

What are you still waiting for?

Hurry up and bring Chen Mo back to me.

- Yes!
- Get him.

Chen Mo, wake up quickly.

Come out.

Come out.

Come out.

Come out, Chen Mo.

Come out.

What are you doing?

Chen Mo, did you destroy the statue?

What are you talking about?

You intended to anger Ayi
and destroy Wuchang Town.

Right.

You're all spouting nonsense.

There are no gods in this world at all.

Who is this woman?

Who is she?

I've never seen her in town.

Have you seen her?

- Never seen her.
- She must be a demoness from outside.

Don't talk nonsense.

Bai Shuang is not a demoness.

There is no Ayi at all.

The entire Wuchang Town is a sham.

Enough talk. Arrest him.

Catch him.

Go.

Hurry to the shrine.

Kowtow to Ayi once.

Please bless Wuchang Town.

- Please bless Wuchang Town.
- Kowtow.

Kowtow to Ayi twice.

Please bless Wuchang Town

with favorable elements.

Please bless Wuchang Town

with favorable elements.

Kowtow.

Kowtow to Ayi thrice.

We'll stay loyal and steadfast.

We'll stay loyal and steadfast.

Chen Mo,

you hid the demoness from outside
and didn't report it.

You should be punished by Ayi.

And now,

bewitched by the demoness,

you've even destroyed Ayi's statue.

Even death cannot atone for the offense.

Now,

I can only

take you two to the Enchanted Forest

to appease Ayi's wrath.

Pah!

You are the one who bewitches people
in the name of a god.

The lives lost in Wuchang Town

are all caused
by your insatiable desires.

Your paradise, Wuchang Town,

is nothing but a lie
to make the people ignorant

and blindly obedient

towards you and your fake god Ayi.

As expected of a demoness!

You're sharp-tongued even now.

Everyone, wake up.

The Wuchang Town, without Ayi,

is the true paradise.

How dare you!

Gag their mouths.

Chen Mo,

without Ayi,

there is no Wuchang Town.

You not only need to face Ayi's wrath

but also the wrath of the people
in Wuchang Town.

Now take these two
to the Enchanted Forest.

Hold on.

Nobody move.

I don't want to harm the innocent.

The entire Wuchang Town

is not what you imagine at all.

Who are you?

How dare you
obstruct the sacrifice here?

I will show you

who I am.

Isn't this Mad Yang?

- Mad Yang?
- He's not crazy?

That's right.

I'm pretending to be mad.

But I see that you all
have truly gone mad.

Today, I will let you

see the true face

of your beloved town mayor.

Mad Yang,

- what are you talking about?
- Yuan,

do you think that after so long,

no one will come to expose your crimes?

Folks,

those who died in the town

were all killed by this man.

Those were the punishments of Ayi.

I think

you've also been bewitched
by this demoness.

Ayi the god, my foot.

Actually, Yuan Peilin
has contracted a strange disease.

He needs human hearts
and blood for treatment.

So they made up something called Ayi.

Whenever someone
'breaks' the rules set by Ayi,

Yuan Peilin would kill them

and drain their blood
to cure his own disease.

The entire Wuchang Town

is nothing but Yuan Peilin's

slaughterhouse for his own treatment.

Mad Yang,

you're not only mad

but also deeply bewitched
by this demoness.

Folks, join me in capturing Mad Yang.

Yuan Ci, have you forgotten?

It was I who taught you martial arts.

Ci!

Yuan Peilin,

back then, you captured me

and wanted to make me your weapon.

After I rejected you,

you then turned your attention
to your young daughter

and had me train her
to become your executioner.

I feigned madness and played dumb
for over a decade,

barely surviving in Wuchang Town,

just so that one day
I could find a way out.

Over a decade has passed.

And I can't believe I still
get to uncover your true face.

Mr. Yang,

killing a person is simple,

but extracting the heart
and drawing blood

is not easy.

Yuan Peilin,

besides your daughter,

you also have an accomplice.

Does this thumb ring

look familiar to you?

This belongs to Doctor Cheng, right?

It seems so.

Doctor Cheng, what are you looking for?

Is it that your own thumb ring
is missing?

Then, do you know

how did I get this thumb ring?

Hahaha.

It's because my thumb ring

was stolen by you.

And yet, you use this to slander me.

I found this thumb ring

in the Enchanted Forest.

If one violates the taboo of Ayi

by entering the Enchanted Forest,

why are you and I

still alive and well?

Because my thumb ring was stolen by you.

Neither of us has been
to the Enchanted Forest.

Not been to the Enchanted Forest?

Doctor Cheng,

you might not be aware

that the mud on our town's streets

is black.

Zhu Wuliu

and your apprentice, He Xiao,
died on the street.

But the mud
under their fingernails was red.

This kind of red mud

is only found in the Enchanted Forest.

Luo Si also had this kind of red mud
under his fingernails.

Moreover, I found needle holes
on Zhu Wuliu's arm.

Doctor Cheng, does Ayi need a syringe

for bloodletting?

You...

Don't kill Captain!

Don't!

Why is it him?

He's alright?

Wanliang, you're finally here.

Wanliang, aren't you dead?

You're dead.

I went to find clues for the captain.

Chen Mo, what's going on?

Wanliang,

can you do me a favor?

Captain, don't be a stranger.

Just tell me what it is.

I'll go through thick and thin...

Stop that.

I believe in you.

Captain, as for me,

though I'm not tight-lipped,

you can trust me with tasks.

You must be tight-lipped about this.

What on earth is it?

I need you to 'die'.

Get up.

Follow me.

Let's go.

Wanliang,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let's go.

Everyone, please look.

These are the instruments
for heart extractions.

Bai Shuang,

these are the documents
I found in Doctor Cheng's house.

I can't read. Take a look.

The organs needed for experiments
must be doubled.

I've already submitted your application
to the inspection room.

This is the invoice for Doctor Cheng's
transactions with outsiders.

He kills people

and harvests their hearts for money.

So Doctor Cheng has been colluding
with outsiders all along

to trade hearts.

Cheng, the evidence is conclusive.

Do you have any excuses left?

You...

I can't believe you, Doctor Cheng.

They say doctors
have a heart of benevolence.

Who would have thought
you were a wolf in sheep's skin?

You harmed the people of Wuchang Town.

Today, I shall act for heaven.

Yuan Peilin,

I really didn't expect

that you would actually
blame me for all your crimes.

Who was the one on his knees begging me,

saying that as long
as your illness is cured,

you'll spare no expense.

Your town mayor raises you like pigs.

Do you still respect him?

Utter nonsense!

If I hadn't believed your slander,

how could I...

He is killed!

Let's go.

The town mayor has been killed. Run!

Run! Someone's been killed!

Father...

Father?

Father!

It's my fault, Father.

I'll avenge you right away.

Stop right here.

What do you have to fight me with?

Your town mayor

is dead.

Now I am the only one

who knows the exit
of entire Wuchang Town.

Now that things have come to light,

I will not stay
in this godforsaken place.

I am so sick of it.

And you can all continue
to live in this paradise

and scrape by.

Ma'am.

Cheng, didn't you say
you would take me with you?

Get lost!

You wench!

I can find any woman outside.

Did you think I really liked you?

And you people!

Not one of you is worthy.

You gave me this hairpin.

And I gave it back to you.

From now on,

we are even.

It's snowing.

The path of Wuling

led to a secluded place

where there were chickens, dogs,

and the homes of Qin people.

Who was the first

to see such a beautiful view?

The water still flows today.

And the peach trees blossom again.

- Come on.
- Cheers!

It's so spicy.

The wine's good, isn't it?

It's good.

Hotpot in winter is so warm and hearty.

Yes.

Right.

It's snowing outside,

and we eat hotpot inside.

How's the taste?

It's good.

Captain,

we just found the exit today. You'll be
leaving first thing tomorrow morning?

Right.

I'll go tomorrow morning

to help Bai Shuang find her family.

Besides,

I also want to go out and take a look.

If you don't leave,

I can never be the patrol captain.

I can't believe you.

Can you be a little more ambitious?

The town is still short of a mayor.

Why would I be the mayor?

I want to thank you both.

Well, it's all in the wine. Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Chen Mo,

in Wuchang Town, I can look out for you.

But once you go out,

well,

you should listen to Bai Shuang.

She surely won't trick you.

Liu Wanliang,

when have you ever looked out for me?

You're all talk.

Rest assured, Wanliang.

I will take good care of Chen Mo.

Bai Shuang,

what's it really like out there?

Outside, it's really nice.

There are skyscrapers,

western-style houses,

trains, airplanes flying like birds,
and even tanks.

I know birds.

Captain and I used to hunt
those wild birds when we were kids.

They could fly really high.

I couldn't catch even one.

What are you talking about?

The airplane I'm talking about

can fly from Shanghai
to Guangzhou in no time.

How far is that?

Anyway, it's very far.

Just eat.
