[Adapted from Xu Chen's comic: Rakshasa Street]

[Episode 3]

About the main work

you undertook on the last project,

could you please

be more specific?

I was mainly responsible

for perfecting the design

and completing the presentation.

Completing the presentation.

Okay, I see.

[Endless Creativity]

Miss Xia,

that's all for today.

As for the interview results,

we'll inform you through text messages.

That's it?

Next one, please.

Wait.

Here is the thing.

I have something to say.

Even though I don't have

much work experience,

when I graduated from the college,

I was the valedictorian.

And I got A in every class.

I have faith in my learning ability

and adaptability.

I hope you can

give me a chance.

It seems that you have fair skin.

What does that mean?

What does getting a job have to do with that?

I assume you can't stay up late.

In this circle, we do overtime

and stay up late.

It's all very normal.

I see how thin you are.

Can you work on the construction site?

With the intense heat of summer and the biting cold of winter,

are you up for such weather?

You can't always ask a male colleague

to take care of you, can you?

You mean

you only hire male candidates, right?

That's not what I meant.

Hello?

The cemetery?

[Here rests Xia Qifeng. In loving memory, Xia Ling.]

What happened here?

What happened to my dad's grave?

We found it

this morning.

We called you

to check in with you.

If

this was done

by one of your families?

How could my family have done this?

Who would destroy

the grave of their own family?

It's not impossible.

I just checked.

The other day, one of your families

asked to open the grave

and redirect the cremains

for Feng Shui considerations.

Isn't this crazy?

Redirect the cremains?

One of my families?

I remember Dad had a necklace.

Why is it gone now?

[Guardian]

[Hanxian]

What a special medal!

Can I have it?

No.

This necklace

can't be given to anyone.

But

I can

make something else for you.

It can't be given to anyone.

Is it

something important?

So important

that robbing a grave is worth it?

Water.

Water.

Water.

Thank you.

How long have I been unconscious for?

Two days.

Two days.

Oh no.

Only one day left.

Xu Chu. Dianwei.

Lost your Guardian Primordial Spirit?

It's useless.

You can't defeat him.

Who is that guy?

He is called

the Prison Guardian.

Shadowbound Prison, vast as it is,

is under his command.

With an acute awareness

of the Primordial Spirit Power,

he possesses the power to claim the Guardian Primordial Spirits.

Within three days.

Just three days.

Once the black beads turn white,

they will remain so permanently.

The Prison Guardian was

just a little monster at first.

In the war, he was saved by the Patriarch.

Then

he was asked to guard this place.

The Patriarch promised him

to pick him up in five hundred years

and take him as a disciple.

But it's been eight hundred years.

The Patriarch still hasn't come to pick him up.

Thus,

he was left in this tragic state,

neither fully human

nor wholly a spirit.

I don't care if he's a human or a spirit.

[Four]

[One]

Give me some water.

I beg of you.

The heat is unbearable.

Out. Let me out.

Be quiet when I'm on patrol.

Wait.

Why are you still here?

Other Meal Deliverers

left long ago.

So you're going there.

Keep an eye out.

The new guy

may get out of jail any minute.

If you see him out,

report it to me.

If you dare to hide it...

the consequences will be severe.

Leave.

He's weird.

I didn't smell human.

Master,

still no clue?

Actually,

I didn't know my dad very well.

Why do you say that?

When I was a kid,

my dad was always busy.

I remember him travel a lot.

He only came back to see me

every ten days or half a month.

Sir,

please pick the sweetest one.

Okay.

Is this all right?

Fine.

Five yuan.

Come often.

Thank you.

Be careful. It's hot.

Okay.

Is it good?

Yeah.

Dad,

this time,

how long will you stay?

I'll leave tomorrow afternoon.

Ling.

I am

not always there for you.

Do you blame me?

No.

Because every time you come back,

you would take me out to have fun.

I am very happy.

Not like Mom.

She only wants me to study.

Your mother wants you to study

for your own good.

And then,

my mom and dad got divorced.

I saw him even less.

He did come back to see me,

but it was always in a hurry.

He wouldn't stay long.

Then,

how did he die?

I heard it from my mom.

When at sea,

he caught a typhoon.

The boat capsized.

He was swept away by the waves.

We never found his body.

Later we heard from a friend

about his death.

Several relics were found

and we managed to build a grave.

So,

could there be any clue?

The notebook is blank.

The box couldn't be opened.

Nothing at all.

Don't you think it's weird?

In this notebook,

there is nothing,

but it feels like it's been flipped over many times.

Before I say thank you,

I want to know

who you really are

and why you help me.

You have no trace of humanity.

You must be a Border Dweller.

All the Meal Deliverers here in the Shadowbound Prison

seem to be Border Dwellers.

But you're no ordinary Border Dweller.

You can even

hide my aura.

Who exactly are you?

What do you mean?

I knew the cell zero isn't easy to find.

But there're too many cells.

Where do I start looking?

Aren't you coming with me?

The top floor?

Is that where you want me to go?

Do you know who I'm looking for?

I'm looking for

someone named Tang Xiaoxiao.

All right.

Regardless of your motive

for making me go there

or your purpose

in helping me,

thanks

anyway.

Did the Meal Deliverer

want me to see this?

Who is it

to end up in a place like this?

Who is at the door?

I asked you a question.

Why don't you answer?

Excuse me.

I am a common prisoner

who just got arrested.

I came here

looking for someone.

Looking for someone?

You came to the Shadowbound Prison to look for someone.

I have never heard

of anything sillier.

I have no choice

but to come.

I came to find someone

named Tang Xiaoxiao.

Do you know

where she is being held?

Judged by your voice,

you are still quite young.

But you made it

to the Shadowbound Prison,

which means you're quite resourceful.

Sir,

don't you think talking through the door

is inconvenient?

Now it's time to unlock the ones on you.

As far as I know,

there's only one person who can unlock this

with such speed

in this world.

Kid,

who are you?

Why are you so eager to know

who I am?

Because only after you tell me,

can I decide

whether to help you or not.

Sir, you mean

you can help me find her?

Okay.

Then I can tell you.

My name is Cao Yanbing.

Tang Xiaoxiao who I was

telling you about

is my mother.

So you are Xiaoxiao's son.

No wonder.

Looks like you totally inherited

the lock-picking skills of the Tang Family.

You know my mother?

We go way back.

To tell you the truth,

I'm the former Chief of Staff

of the Hall of Heroes,

one of The Four Eminent Warriors,

Li Gubai.

[Li Gubai, former Chief of Staff of the Hall of Heroes]

Your mother was

also a member of the Hall of Heroes.

My mom was

a member of the Hall of Heroes?

How is that possible?

Though

she served

the Hall of Heroes with us,

we were in the front

in charge of the fights.

She was in the dark

in charge of assassinations

and other secret missions.

Her identity was a secret.

She only served the chief,

Huangfu Longdou.

Huangfu Longdou?

The wanted man?

Mom used to work for him?

Okay Sir, let's put that aside.

Could you please tell me

where my mom is being held?

I need to save her

and then we can leave

together.

Don't bother, kid.

Your mother is not even

here.

Not here?

How is it possible?

I heard

she was held

in the Shadowbound Prison.

I can share with you

an image of her.

Because of this image,

I'm sure

she's not here now.

Then please show it to me, Sir.

But

how do you show it to me?

Though I am blind,

I can share with you

via the eyes of the Guardian Primordial Spirit.

Then the image

can be transmitted to your mind.

This will be traumatising

to your spirit.

You need to think it over.

Master,

I found that on every page

of this notebook,

there are traces of weak Primordial Spirit Power.

If I'm not wrong,

it's not like there's nothing there.

Someone did something to it.

Only using Primordial Spirit Power on it

can you see what's in it.

No need to think it over.

I can take it.

Do you mean

my dad was a Spirit-hosted Human?

But you have to promise me.

No matter what you see,

keep control of your feelings.

I promise you.

Just transmit the image.

Did you say

I needed to use Primordial Spirit Power on it?

Yes.

Master, you might as well give it a try.

Come here.

[Huangfu Longdou. Divine Power. Luhua Ancient Tower]

Celestial Eye.

Open.

You want to kill me?

Not that easy.

Jing Shisan.

Shisan!

Shisan.

General Zhao, Hall of Heroes shall claim your life.

You band of murderous shadows,

cowering from the light.

I simply didn't

obey orders.

You put a charge on me

and try to kill me secretly.

Hall of Heroes is

nothing but a stooge to the Border Realm.

You've lost your soul

and serve as the henchman of malevolence.

Your vile actions

will cast a long shadow

over your offspring.

Xiaoxiao,

don't listen to him.

Just kill him.

So we can complete our mission.

Forget it.

Having lost his Guardian Primordial Spirit,

he's already a dead man.

Let's throw him out of the Spiritual Crossroads

and leave him to his own devices.

Xiaoxiao,

the orders we got were

to execute him on the spot.

If you let him go,

how do we explain this to the hall?

About this,

I will explain this to Chief Huangfu.

You little rascal,

why do you keep staring at your brother?

He is small,

and soft.

I worry I'll break him if I touch him.

When will he grow up?

You're a big brother now.

Now,

you must take good care of your brother.

Take care of him?

Just like dad takes care of Rakshasa Street?

There are many Border Dwellers in Rakshasa Street.

To keep them from falling into darkness

and becoming evil,

Spiritual Guardians are needed

to keep this place safe

and peaceful.

This is the responsibility of the Spiritual Guardians.

Responsibility?

What is responsibility?

We are a family.

So you love us.

You love our home

and Rakshasa Street.

What we're protecting is love.

That is our responsibility.

Love is our responsibility.

Yanbing.

Yanbing.

A Border Dweller became evil.

I need to take care of it.

Take care of the house and Liang.

Wait for me.

Sirs,

you came to Rakshasa Street so late at night.

What can I do for you?

[Su, the Right Envoy. Qi, the Left Envoy]

You know us?

When I visited Chief Huangfu,

I met you.

Since you know who we are,

we won't play around with you.

Tang Xiaoxiao,

I need you to come with us.

Where to?

What for?

Later,

you will know.

What if I say no?

You should know.

With our strength,

destroying this street is

easy as pie.

Even if you don't think for yourself,

you must think for your kids.

That's right.

Mom, where are you?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom's body was fake.

Kid, stop it now.

Unleashing your Primordial Spirit Power like this,

your body will fail.

Stop it!

Cao Yanbing,

get out of here.

I know you're here.

It seems

I was too kind to you.

Here he comes.

He sensed your Primordial Spirit Power.

Impossible.

That's not true.

Sir,

please tell me.

What you just showed me,

is it reliable?

That was your mother's Guardian Primordial Spirit.

Her Guardian Primordial Spirit?

You mean Tang Wuxin?

Why do you have his memory?

Have you seen him anywhere?

And where is that place

you just showed me?

Get out of here.

I'm running out of patience.

It's no use hiding.

I smell you.

It's too late.

Even if you find Tang Wuxin

and the place in the image,

you won't

be able to escape Shadowbound Prison.

For hundreds of years,

no one has ever defeated

the Prison Guardian.

No.

There is a first time for everything.

No one has made it in hundreds of years.

It doesn't mean I can't either.

There has to be some way.

Kid.

There has to be some way.

Kid.

There has to be.

Cao Yanbing,

this time I want you dead.

The Patriarch asked me to eliminate evils here.

I have eliminated so many already.

Instead of behaving yourselves,

you became more and more audacious.

The Patriarch promised

to pick me up in five hundred years.

But it has been

eight hundred and thirty-nine years.

Once I eliminate one evil,

ten more are born.

The more I eliminate, the more there are.

Because of the existence

of evil beings like you,

this hell

will never be empty.

How pathetic.

What did you say?

It's been eight hundred years.

Your Patriarch

has abandoned you.

Cao Yanbing,

if you were

trying to provoke me,

good job.

The Meal Deliverer.

You are no ordinary Border Dweller.

Who are you?

Wuxin?
