(As the common adage goes,)

(there will always be someone)

(better than you out there.)

(And "out there",)

(those extraordinary people)

(with extraordinary power,)

(they are called)

(the Outsiders.)

(It was said)

(that many years ago,)

(several Outsiders)

(discovered the Eight Supremes)

(in a mysterious place.)

(Those eight abilities,)

(endowed with immense power,)

(tore the Outsiders' world asunder.)

(To obtain those abilities,)

(Outsiders fought and waged war)

(among each other.)

(It took place during the year of Jiashen)

(and thus it was called)

(the Jiashen Calamity.)

(Following the death, or perhaps disappearance, of several legendary figures,)

(the secret was left buried.)

(The wheel of time continues to churn.)

(Peace is about to be broken.)

(Our story begins)

(in an evening.)

Bunch of

jerks!

They look down on me.

They deny me swills of alcohol.

But I have my own alcohol anyway.

And one day,

I...

I...

I'll leave this

shitty place.

Tie.

Don't mind if I do.

A man needs his rest.

Get up.

Let's drink.

Goodness gracious. I'm never drinking again!

We got the body.

Let's go.

(On this fateful night,)

(as this body was unearthed and plundered,)

(the unfinished business)

(of the year of Jiashen)

(resurfaced.)

(The Outsiders' world)

(will receive)

(a reckoning.)

[Episode 1]

[This is a work of fiction. Any reference to existing entities is mere coincidence.]

[All actions and abilities performed are fictional and should not be imitated.]

This doesn't make sense.

There are no grave goods

in this forsaken place.

These few ones

are lucky.

That one had it worse.

Just take a look.

Even the body is gone.

I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.

Look.

What kind of grave robbers

took the body too?

It's an old body.

How old is it again?

And whose grave is it?

Zhang Xilin.

[Tombstone of Zhang Xilin]

[Xinpu City]

[Xinpu Open University]

Fellow students,

allow me

to introduce

the pride

[Xinpu Open Stellar Alumni] of this university.

In his first year here,

he led our gymnastics team

to a group gold medal

and a solo gold medal

in the National Student Sports Day.

In his second year here,

he quit the gymnastics team

and became a researcher.

Chulan.

Are you nervous?

No.

Have you been through this before?

I have faith in you.

Go.

Now, let's welcome

our stellar alumni

to the stage.

Who is this guy?

What the...?

Where's Wu?

Where is Mr. Wu?

Where is Mr. Wu?

Bring Wu here.

[Zhang Chulan, Mr. Nobody, Patience: 98%]

Ladies and gentlemen,

how are you?

Good!

(We)

(are young.)

(We)

(can tolerate)

(diversity)

(and otherness.)

(A future of infinite possibilities)

(lays before us.)

(And we also have a lot of...)

Hello?

The Village Director?

Who?

Someone stole my grandfather's body?

No, you.

Crazy caller.

[Tombstone of Zhang Xilin]

Sir.

What happened here?

If I had the answer,

I wouldn't

have summoned you here.

Chulan.

You're the only family of your grandfather.

Now that his body was stolen,

I need you

to tell us how to proceed.

Don't worry about it.

I will

find my grandfather's body.

Your grandfather?

My grandfather is Zhang Xilin.

I am his granddaughter.

My name is Zhang Baobao.

I'm your sister.

We finally met.

You're crazy.

I don't have a sister.

Zhang Xilin is my grandfather.

Zhang Yude is my father.

The Zhangs moved

to this village

14 years ago.

There are only three members in the family,

each representing a generation.

There are Zhang Xilin,

Zhang Yude,

and Zhang Chulan.

You are Zhang Chulan.

22 years old.

A varsity student.

When you were ten,

your grandfather was murdered.

Zhang Yude

came to my mother.

I did not know

that the Zhangs have a daughter.

My mom

only told me recently

and she asked me to visit

my grandfather's grave.

Liar.

What can a photo

prove?

So he is Zhang Xilin's son.

Honestly,

she does

take after him.

Right?

Look at the eyes

and the mouth.

I misunderstood that old geezer then.

I always thought

that he adopted Chulan.

Is now the time for gossiping?

This is beyond the point.

The point is this woman here

might be a liar.

Village Director.

Say something.

I am part of the Zhangs

so I will handle my grandfather's affairs.

Thank you,

Village Director.

If

you need my help,

let me know.

We have already informed the police.

If you find a lead,

do

share it with me.

I shall

let you two catch up.

Let's go.

Go!

Enjoy.

Village Director!

She is a stranger!

Grandpa.

I made pork knuckles today.

It's a pity that you can't have it.

[Tombstone of Zhang Xilin]

Chulan.

I'm making pork knuckles today.

For years,

we seemed to be running from something.

But you never told me why.

Your grave was defiled.

Your body was stolen.

Can you visit me in my dream

and tell me

who our enemy is?

That impostor.

I bet you

stole my grandpa's body.

Got you now. This is

evidence.

Don't come near me!

What

did you kill just now?

Don't worry.

I saw nothing.

I will not tell anyone.

Thank you so much.

I owe you a meal.

What are you doing?

I saw nothing. I swear.

Help! Somebody!

Don't yell.

No one can hear you.

Help!

Only I can hear you.

And I'm not saving you.

You're insane.

What do you want?

You know too much.

I have no choice

but to bury you.

What do I know

that warrants being buried alive?

Are you a thug?

You can't just bury someone.

Baobao.

I'm Zhang Chulan.

Your dear brother.

You won't bury me,

will you?

We are family.

Do you know?

When I first saw you,

I felt a connection.

It's like we have met somewhere.

Oh, Baobao.

That old prick...

I mean my father.

Is he all right?

A mad impostor who claims to be my sister

is using a cleaver

to kill sandy

monsters.

Right.

This must be a fever dream.

It must be in.

I'm still in my dorm.

I did not go back to my hometown.

The stress must have gotten me.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up to my happy place!

Idiot.

Bye bye.

You're leaving me?

Your happy place,

you face it.

Kill them

and bury me later.

Get away from me!

Help!

What's the status, Baobao?

Too late.

Zhang Xilin's grave was excavated.

And his body is gone.

We're late.

Also, San,

I was ambushed by thralls.

Thralls?

Only the Thrall Masters

of Xiangxi practice this craft.

They are meddling too?

Why

are they interested in Zhang Xilin's body?

Help!

Help!

Who's there?

Zhang Chulan.

Why is he shouting?

He is surrounded by thralls.

You

let him face them alone?

Don't worry.

He won't die.

What do you mean?

He's an ordinary person.

I told you.

He won't die.

Don't jinx it, Baobao.

All this hassle

to steal Zhang Xilin's body.

(He sure is lucky.)

(He managed)

[Xinpu Open University, Zhang Chulan, Civil Engineering] (to escape from a group of thralls.)

(Did someone help him in secret?)

Baobao.

Baobao.

Have you been to a university?

University?

What's that?

You have a sense of humor now.

I'll get you a student card.

Get ready

for school.

So I have a new identity now?

Your name will still be Baobao.

I won't investigate the whereabouts

of Xilin's body now?

Si and I

will do that.

[Tombstone of Zhang Xilin]

Help!

Help!

Go away.

Help!

Help!

Stay away.

Stay away.

Help!

Stay away.

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me!

Is my lecture

that repulsive?

Of course not, Mr. Yi.

Your lecture

is captivating

and enlightening.

I was supposed to shout that

internally

but it was begging

to be let out.

Tell me

what I was talking about then.

You were talking about...

At the origin of time...

At the origin of time,

-All is simple. -all is simple.

As it evolves, it becomes complex.

As it evolves, it becomes complex.

What again this time?

She...

When did she come?

When you were dozing off.

Is there a problem?

Mr. Yi.

She is not a student here.

This is my student ID.

Her student ID is fake.

First,

no one wears their student ID on their neck.

I did it so that I won't

lose it.

Zhang Chulan.

Go back to sleep.

Don't disturb others now.

(Xuanxue, also known as Neo-Taoism,)

(was built upon the philosophy of Zhuangzi.)

(It interpreted Laozi...)

Why are you here at my school?

What do you want?

I'm here to study.

Study what?

Sweet and sour pork ribs.

Luosifen.

And a braised egg.

This restaurant looks delicious.

Baobao.

I bought you so many things.

Shouldn't you do something in return?

My grandpa's body is gone.

We need to find it. No?

I'm not your sister.

No way.

You are my sister.

When I first saw you,

I was surprised by how similar we look.

We're like two peas

in a pod.

I'm not your sister.

But you said it yesterday.

Yesterday is yesterday.

Today is today.

So today, you are...

Xu Baobao,

an exchange student from the Taiwan region.

My dad just opened his business in Mainland China

that offers premium resin-related products.

My hometown

is at Zhangtai City, Huyan Province.

Not sure about my mom.

The Taiwan region?

Yet, you're rocking a Sanchuan dialect.

Is this how you lie nowadays?

Listen now.

I don't care

who you are and why you're here.

Leave me alone now

because I will bite.

Sorry, can't do that.

But wait,

I'll call to confirm it first.

Hi.

Is this Xu San?

Do I get to do whatever I want

with my possession?

(I'm a human, not a possession...)

I got the answer now, Zhang Chulan.

From now on,

you're my slave.

Slave?

Slave your arse.

Mind your manner.

Let's speak outside.

Help!

What's the matter?

Help...

Help me!

What's the emergency?

A woman

is chasing me

with a knife.

No way.

In broad daylight?

In a peaceful campus?

Don't lie.

I'm serious, sir.

Call the police.

She has a knife.

What police?

I am the security guard.

She's here.

Stop shouting!

You're freaking me out.

Who's there?

Come in.

Hi.

Is Zhang Chulan here?

There she is.

Stop shouting!

You're making me jump.

It's just a girl.

She has a weapon.

Listen, young girl.

Listen to me.

Give me the knife.

All right?

Is this a knife?

Is this a knife?

How can this be?

Trust me, mister.

I saw with my own eyes

and she slashed

the door in half with a knife.

She carries a knife with her.

Get up!

Be a man.

Look at you.

Stand straight.

Lift your chest.

Lift your chin.

Miss.

What's the matter between you two?

I am his...

She wants me to be her slave.

Shut up.

Speak.

He is my slave.

I see.

Now, your turn.

You heard it, didn't you?

She wants me to be her slave.

How lucky!

Isn't that great?

Young people nowadays are so

open-minded.

Clean this mess up.

It's so messy.

Let me do it.

See?

She

is sensible.

Wait. Of all people, you're into him?

It's fine.

I can train him.

You have to.

Take him back

and train him well.

Do you still want to run?

Are you running?

He will stop.

Do you want to talk?

Do you want to talk?

He said yes.

Let's go.

Go.

Go!

Come.

Don't be shy.

Go.

Take your toys with you.

Go now.

Hurry.

Have fun, okay?

You two

are lovely.

Find a beautiful place

and talk things out.

What a harmonious campus.

Look.

All right.

Go.

Go.

Speak.

What do you want from me?

Show me how you escaped

from those thralls.

Hurry.

Stop acting.

You're hiding something.

I noticed it yesterday.

I abandoned you there

to see when you'll show yourself.

Who exactly are you?

Hurry.

Show your power.

You're my slave now.

I don't want to use violence.

I swore

not to use my power

before anyone.

[Patience] You forced me to do this.

Forgive me, Bao!

I don't know anything!

Why are you crying?

Is this shirt very expensive?

Look.

I'm merciful enough.

I cut your clothes.

But not your body.

Say cheese.

What are you doing?

I'm sending it to the Village Director.

What for?

A seal.

(She can see it?)

Isn't that

restricting?

Pervert!

You ripped my clothes off.

Then, you became concerned about me.

You know what?

Be my slave.

Or

I'll upload your photo

to the school's forum.

Yes, Bao.

I

am now your slave.

Feel free to use me.

Boss me around.

Don't call me Bao.

Call me Master.

[Feng Baobao, Age/Profession/Identity: Unknown]

Take it.

Nokia 6310?

Where did you get this ancient relic?

Other phones are too fragile.

Fragile?

What did you do with them?

Anyway, Lan.

I will contact you via phone.

Lan.

Lan your ars...

I'll go and fix the door now.

What about me?

How am I supposed to know?

Give me something to wear.

(Darling,)

(let's practice dancing over there.)

Hey!

We're in public.

I don't want you to be cold.

Take my jacket.

Can I have a kiss?

You're naughty.

Xia He,

Zhang Xilin's body

is here.

Very efficient.

We'll meet at the dungeon.

[Xia He, Sinister Pleasure]

[Jiashan General Hospital]

[Lv Liang, Sinister Pleasure]

Lv Liang.

Come.

The dungeon is scary.

Do we have to meet here?

This is the only place

to hide my thralls.

Others

will only see them

as hyper-realistic NPCs here.

I have the body you want.

Go.

[Soul Whisperer]

It's him.

Well done.

I have brought you

the body of Zhang Xilin.

As for what I want...

That depends on whether

I can extract what I want from it.

He's dead for a long time

but I still extracted

many qi from him.

What a shame.

These isolated particles

are not going to provide

any useful info to me.

As I said,

I already

brought Zhang Xilin's body here.

Can I join the Sinister Pleasure now?

Unfortunately,

the body you brought

isn't that useful.

Therefore, we cannot recruit you.

Are you reneging

on your promise?

You

know very well how disloyal

our organization is.

You can't join us

after completing

one simple task.

You need to hone

on your skills.

Xia He.

Your Ensorcellement has grown more powerful.

You can seduce

the undead now.

Regardless of what shape or sizes they come in,

everything is a slave to desire.

If you're ready to break your promise anytime,

let's forget that we ever met.

Wait.

Keep the body.

I'll give you another chance.

You claimed that you ran into the grandson of Zhang Xilin.

And a cleaver-wielding woman.

Let's leave the woman

out of this.

But Zhang Xilin's grandson...

By right,

he should be an Outsider too.

Bring him here.

Dead or alive.

And then,

you'll be one of us.

Why should I believe you now?

What if you renege on your promise again?

The exit is over there.

Feel free to leave if you don't want to do it.

Besides,

it's not my job to convince you anyway.

Fine.

I'll just trust you one last time.

I'll bring you Zhang Xilin's grandson.

They are crazy.

They practice till this late.

Darling,

I think there's someone up there.

A flasher!

He's naked.

Let's take a photo as evidence.

He's running away. Quick.

Quick.

He's gone.
