(Huyang City)
Hurry up.

(Huyang City)

(Sweet Plum Theater)

(Sweet Plum Theater)
Catch up.

Let's go.

(Elder Yan)

We are now

in Huyang City.

In a few months,

we will take down the Black Stone City
in one fell swoop.

By then, it will be
all our Scorpion Eye brothers,

and we can celebrate together.

Mr. Zhan.

In my opinion,

having feelings for Miss Qing

is not a wise move.

Why are you suddenly saying that?

Miss Qing's heart

is like a vast lake.

But her interest in dating

is probably less than

a ladle of water.

So I'm saying

that if someone has this idea,

they should spend their time
on someone else.

Don't you think so?

Mr. Zhan.

Miss Qing is asking for both of you.

Qingzhi.

You're looking for me?

Who are you?

My name is Ye Liuxi.

I work under Mr. Zhan.

Your name is Ye Liuxi?

Such a coincidence, right?

Because I'm currently recruiting...

I don't like her.

Let her go.

Give her some money

and send her back to where she came from.

Alright.

Since it's
someone Jiang Zhan wants to keep,

you can stay.

You can leave first.

I'll talk to Jiang Zhan for a moment.

Qingzhi.

That Ye Liuxi,

I didn't like her at first sight.

I can't really explain the reason.

Jiang Zhan.

Since you want to keep her,

you are the referrer.

You need to keep an eye on her.

If she does something

harmful to Scorpion Eye in the future,

you'll be held accountable.

Alright, you can leave.

=Parallel World=
(Adapted from Wei Yu's novel "Parallel World")

=Episode 31=
(This story is a work of fiction.)

These are all prepared
according to your preferences.

Why aren't you eating?

Your memory should have

recovered by now.

These are the outbound shipping records

of Ye Qingzhi over the past few years.

The year I circled,

many of the items

were labeled as "unknown".

Do you know why?

You don't know
or don't want to say?

Not knowing is normal too.

After all, Ye Qingzhi

is selfish, indifferent,

and inherently suspicious.

In the short few months
I've been in Scorpion Eye,

I can see

that she doesn't trust you.

I'm talking to you.

Who do you think you are

to treat me like this?

If it were someone else,

I would have killed them long ago.

Think of it

as for Qingzhi's sake.

You shouldn't treat me like this.

Qingzhi?

Who is Qingzhi?

And who are you?

Do you believe I'll kick you off the bed?

Liuxi.

If you kick me down, I'll hit my head.

Then it'll become unstable again.

Liuxi.

What will happen with you and Dong?

Isn't it you guys who said

the butterfly shouldn't be blamed
for the storm?

That was just talk.

Tell the truth, Liu.

If you were Chang Dong,

how would you think of me?

I...

I think I can understand you.

After all, it was an accident.

It's not like you killed them
by yourself.

As for the feeding,

perhaps to you,

a corpse is just a corpse.

You're just using it for feeding.

But I might feel quite uncomfortable

because it's a family member's corpse,
isn't it?

Can you still be friends with me
after that?

It depends.

Go to sleep.

Move before I kick you.

Life is hard.

Come in.

What's wrong?

Sit.

I just want to ask about your thoughts.

According to Long Zhi,

you have the Bone of Liuxi.

Every time
you step in or out of the pass,

it causes a small-scale
body and soul separation in Yumen Pass,

which then turns into a sandstorm

to cover your tracks.

What does that mean?

It means our previous way was wrong.

Do you mean the blood-dripping method?

I told you so.

If we had to drip blood every time
we step in or out of the pass,

our blood would be drained long ago.

Now that you can't remember the way
to step in or out of the pass,

without someone to guide us,

we won't be able
to find the door ourselves.

But I have an idea.

Li Jin'ao.

Come on.

Come out and move around.

It's possible,

but I can't be sure.

Long Zhi wants me to kill you,

but I haven't given her an answer.

Once we arrive at Flowing Sand Yardang,

she will definitely talk to me.

By that time...

I can release the gnats

so that
it can find the entrance to the pass

for us to bring Liu and the others out.

Right.

As long as they are safe,

both of us

will also feel relieved, right?

That sounds good,

but given Gao Shen's physical condition,

I'm afraid

it might attract unnecessary attention.

That's an issue.

Let's take our time
coming up with a solution.

The details

require time to be perfected.

Is there

a problem between us?

What problem?

Silly.

Quit overthinking.

There's no problem between us.

Who is it?

It's me.

Chang Dong.

Don't just stand there.

Come in.

Please come in.

Take a seat.

What's wrong?

Is something the matter?

Please take a seat as well.

I'll be straight with you.

You must be

aware of Liuxi's situation.

Those people

appear to be escorting us out,

but you're familiar

with this route.

It's headed toward Flowing Sand Yardang.

I'd like to ask for your help.

As long as you need me,

just let me know.

I absolutely won't hesitate to help.

But knowing too much

won't benefit you.

I need you to do me two small favors.

First,

continue performing as usual every day.

The more spectacular
and attention-seeking, the better.

Second,

can you lend me the gnats?

No problem.

Do you know how to use them?

Will these bugs fly around randomly?

Bugs?

No.

They aren't bugs.

When the Li family

carved shadow puppets,

gnats are the debris
that fell out of the carving knives.

They're exotic beasts

who are capable of shapeshifting.

If they threw them away,

it would be a pity,

so they distributed to branches like us.

You must remember.

When using them,

you must pick somewhere like this.

Use it in an enclosed space.

Never release them.

If they fly away,

do I have to compensate you
a large amount?

I like money,

but I never earn money from friends.

Here's the thing.

This creature

doesn't recognize home.

Once you release them,

they're gone forever.

They will never come back.

Other than these,

do you have anything else?

I wouldn't want
to affect your future business.

Let me tell you a secret.

The reason I came out
to make a name for myself

at this age

was because firstly,

I wanted to achieve something.

Secondly,

I messed up back then.

I used to be responsible

for taking care of these gnats.

But due to a slip-up,

a big bag of them flew away.

I was afraid back then,

and I was anxious,

not knowing what to do.

Due to that, I ran away,

thinking

that when I achieve success
in the future

and secured a position,

perhaps no one
will bring up this matter to me again.

Who knew

that now...

Where did the gnats fly to?

I don't know.

They're exotic beasts,

so they don't need to eat

or drink.

When there's wind,

they will follow.

If there's no wind,

they just float around aimlessly.

With enough time,

flying tens of thousands of miles

wouldn't be a problem for them.

Do you

remember

where they flew toward back then?

The south.

They can fly high,

so I couldn't catch them
no matter how high I jumped.

Why are you laughing?

Nothing.

Fate

brought us together.

For the gnats,

you can decide how much to give me.

I don't mind.

Thank you.

No worries.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Liuxi told me.

I'm really fine.

You guys should leave the pass.

If you get out,

don't rush
to get me a substitute tongue.

Besides,

the pass is huge.

The Feather Guards are not the only ones
who have substitute tongues.

I know.

But it's only been a few days
since I came,

so I'm reluctant to leave.

You're reluctant

to leave these valuable items
in the pass, aren't you?

Everyone thinks
that I only care about money,

don't they?

Everyone assumes

that I came back for money.

Right?

You think so too, don't you?

What are you thinking, then?

Can you tell me?

He.

I just don't want to leave you behind.

Why are you alone here?

Liu went to see Gao Shen.

Fatty Tang

went to convince He.

How about

you come

and take a walk with me?

Let's go.

What's wrong?

Did your legs go numb again?

Actually, it recovers quicker
if you go out for a walk.

The stars are out tonight.

I know.

Let me recover for a bit.

Sure. I'll give you a massage.

Just now, Li Jin'ao told me

he used to be in charge
of raising gnats.

He said
a batch of them had once escaped.

Actually, gnats are

flakes of skin carved out
from the shadow puppets' bodies.

He watched
as the gnats flew toward the south.

The south?

Yes.

So our guess is correct.

Yes, we are.

I didn't expect Li Jin'ao

would become our guide.

It's quite interesting,
if you think of it that way.

Get up and take a walk.

It'll recover quicker
if you walk it out.

Come on. Let's go.

Wait.

It's itching.

It's itching?

My head hurts.

Let me sit down and rest.

Here.

I'll accompany you there later.

Sure. Take your time.

Why are you so reluctant
to go out with me?

Let me tell you,

the numbness in my leg

is really annoying.

I wonder who's the one

who always wants my leg.

Why do you keep holding grudges?

I'm petty.

You say,

when we get old

and our feet aren't as nimble,

who will be supporting whom?

Don't look at me.

I think I'll be the one helping you.

With your small build,

a little breeze will give you a cold.

What are you thinking?

I'm imagining

how will you be when you grow old.

Well, I have some self-awareness.

I certainly can't compete
with young girls.

But,

this "but" is very important.

Among all the little old ladies,

I'm definitely

the most outstanding and unique one.

Liuxi.

Looking at your grin,

you must have reconciled with Dong.

A child shouldn't be talking nonsense.

By the way, Liu,

you get in the same car
as Chang Dong later

and help me watch him.

I think something's wrong with him.

Why is that?

Is he unwilling to forgive you?

That's not it.

I think

he's giving me a feeling

like

the matter with Kong Yang
doesn't bother him.

Isn't that a good thing?

It means Dong is open-minded.

It means he likes you,

which is why
he's not holding grudges anymore.

Chang Dong
is a person of loyalty and integrity.

Not just toward me.

He even sold his family's property

to compensate the victims' families.

He practically disappeared
for two years.

He came with me to Dalpur

because of a photograph

and even prepared eighteen body bags.

He didn't just come for Kong Yang.

A person's character doesn't change,

no matter the circumstances.

Don't you think his behavior is odd?

Hasn't Dong

always been that way?

Anyway, just help me keep an eye on him.

Promise me.

Okay, okay.

(Liuxi.)

(whatever comes to my mind)

(these days.)

(I have a lot to say.)

(I thought when I)

(reached Flowing Sand Yardang,)

(I could write almost everything.)

(But now I realize)

(that it's never enough.)

(Spending time with you today,)

(I couldn't stop thinking)

(about what you'll be like when you're old.)

(What kind of old lady will you become?)

(What clothes will you like to wear?)

(What flavors will you prefer?)

(What hairstyle will you have?)

(Will you
still be as bossy as you are now?)

(I'd really like to know)

(Because my time)

(is running out.)

This the deserted village
from when we first entered the pass.

Yes.

What's wrong, Liuxi?

Chang Dong.

Chang Dong.

Would you like to visit Kong Yang?

Sure.

Liuxi.

Why did you let Dong visit Kong Yang?

What's wrong with that?

She's his ex.

It's better not to mention her again.

It's fine if you're not wary about it,

but why give him
a chance to reminisce about it?

Why find a man
if you're afraid of so many things?

Isn't that tiring?

He's my man,

and I'm not afraid to trust him.

If he betrays me, then I'm blind.

Come on. Let's check this place out.

Sure.

Where are you going?

Looking around.

(Warding against demons)

Liuxi.

Actually,
this is not the only village here.

Your home might not
be in this deserted village.

It's here.

I remember.
