[The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Adapted from Weiyu's novel, The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Episode 9]

I said...

I...

What's happening?

What is that?

Help me!

Hold on!

Faster! They're gaining on us!

I'm driving a car,

princess,

not a jet.

Steady, nice and steady.

How far until the end?♪

♪I'll fight until I bend♪

♪Though fate may choke me tight♪

♪Call my name, and I'll follow you into the night♪

♪Don't care if the answer's in sight♪

♪Facing fate, we'll stand side by side♪

♪Through thorns, we charge to the rescue♪

♪Those unknown adventures and schemes♪

Wait.

Where's the clam?

It's gone.

Vanished.

♪Will ultimately be conquered in time♪

♪Through raging flames we'll fight♪

♪Beyond the nightmares we'll stand in the light♪

Get in the car!

♪What's there to fear?♪

♪Wu wu wu♪

Luo Ren!

♪What's left to fear?♪

- Drive! - Yeah!

♪Wu wu wu♪

♪What's left to fear?♪

This is so weird.

That clam's completely mutated.

So aggressive.

With those tentacles.

And its shell's all jagged now.

That was sinister.

Seems this clam

- is no ordinary thing. - It hurts?

Thought you were immune to pain.

Analyze this.

Could the relic of ill omen be inside that clam?

From your description,

it has undergone significant physiological changes.

Similar to how humans transform

when possessed by the relic of ill omen.

High probability

the relic of ill omen is within that clam.

Investigate further.

Understood.

I'll handle something now.

Done.

Mu Dai,

have you noticed something?

What?

When I'm sitting,

I'm about as tall as you standing.

Master, Luo.

Why are you dressed like that?

My clothes have been washed.

I had to wrap myself in this blanket,

and Thirteen-Thousand keeps yanking it off.

So annoying.

What's wrong?

I'm hungry.

Lucky this is solid ground.

That clam can't get here.

Right.

Are these ready?

Yeah.

Cao,

all you ever think about is food.

Look at you, coiled up like a razor clam

and still drooling for a meal.

Obviously!

That clam's been tormenting me all day.

I'm eating its neighbors to vent.

Good?

So good.

Try some.

- Luo Ren... - Why's there shell?

Extra calcium.

Both of you, knock it off.

Luo Ren,

you really think the relic of ill omen

- is inside that cla... - By the way,

what is the relic of ill omen?

That's too deep a question.

Answer mine first.

Master,

what have you been through these days?

How about this?

You explain

what we've been dealing with.

And you explain what the relic of ill omen is.

You two,

take your skewers

and catch up over there.

Got it.

Wait.

Enough for you both?

Plenty.

Freak.

So what's your plan?

You're not thinking of taking that clam down, are you?

Luo Ren,

that's a clam,

not Pingting!

We could die.

Just so we're clear.

I'm not getting involved in this.

I need to get back to the bar anyway.

I haven't figured it out yet.

Safety first, no matter what.

Tomorrow,

let's go check out those waters again.

We might find Hongsha's uncle.

Or...

Be careful.

That guy's back.

Thirteen-Thousand, Thirteen-Thousand...

Let him go.

But after what happened yesterday...

He'll manage.

Fine.

Here. Your shrimp.

Gosh, it's burnt to a crisp.

Can we even eat it?

Thank you.

Delicious.

You're pretty skilled.

This counts as skilled?

It's a pity you haven't tried

my barbecue in Heisha.

Better?

You know

how we grilled seafood back then?

We invented our own method,

Heisha stone-grilling.

Those seafood

were grilled on a large rock.

My colleagues and I

would sing and drink.

Those times

were really carefree.

Your colleagues?

I had two good friends.

One was Yuris.

He always enjoyed singing those cheesy love songs.

Then there was

- Qingmu. - Yuris, we can't hear you!

Louder!

Back home, he had a fiancée.

Every night, he'd face the sea,

thinking about her.

That scene

is actually pretty sweet.

Where are they now?

Still in touch?

We haven't been in much contact

after returning home.

Mu Dai,

we're heading to the Eye of the Lake tomorrow.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

Even with the gear and the car,

just thinking about that clam

makes my blood run cold.

Let's play a game

to take your mind off it.

Rules are simple.

Heads or tails.

Heads, you ask me a question.

Tails, I ask you one.

One question each.

Okay?

If he's not into it, then let it go.

Just ask him straight out.

Better than sitting here stewing over it.

Don't torment yourself!

Here we go.

You're cheating.

Alright. Ask me.

Do you like me?

Mu Dai,

we...

Alright, I see.

Let's keep going.

Mu Dai,

if,

I mean, if

the guy you like

is in a huge,

huge mess,

would you still like him?

What are you trying to say?

I'm in a lot of trouble.

Life-threatening trouble.

So you mean

to avoid these troubles,

I should stay away from you?

Or I should keep my distance from you for now

and just wait

until you've sorted out

all these life-threatening

before we can be together?

You're dreaming.

I've never been in love before.

But I know

the best time for two people to be together

is when they

like each other.

All those excuses

like "Wait till I'm rich"

or "Wait till I've sorted out this"

just fade away as time goes by.

I won't wait.

If two people don't seize each other's hands

when they meet,

they might just go their separate ways

and hold someone else's hand.

I'll only wait for the kind...

The kind

where we've already developed deep feelings for each other

and are willing to wait.

But we're

not there yet.

Mu Dai...

Enough.

I'm bringing Hongsha some food.

Just consider that my question

was never asked.

We're still good friends.

Don't move!

You'd dive for clams now?

The God of Water will punish you!

Are you crazy?

But how can a crazy person grow vegetables?

Or are you just crazy now and then?

Come here.

Look at this.

Here.

See clearly now.

They're all there.

So many

fighting over territory,

brawling.

Open your eyes

and take a good look!

Come on.

There.

There's a man over there.

See him?

That's Jiang Zhao's father.

Help... Help...

He's drowning.

He's watching you and waiting for you to save him.

He's waiting for you to save him.

But you didn't. What held you back?

No conscience left?

Do you think I don't know?

Over a decade!

Heaven judges me.

My own conscience condemns me!

I know I failed your father.

Mr. Jiang,

I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

This is my retribution.

It has nothing to do with Jiang Zhao.

It's all my retribution!

Back then,

my hesitation cost you your life.

I've lost my conscience

and made the God of Water mad.

Even our ancestors turned their backs.

Now we

can't harvest a single clam.

This is my reckoning!

Can't sleep either?

One minute I'm thinking about my uncle,

the next, that relic of ill omen pops into my mind.

I asked him.

Asked what?

I was being straightforward.

And?

And

I've got a whole bunch of options again.

He's blind.

He should get his eyes checked.

Infuriating.

Whatever.

I've got connections.

I know every type out there.

Give me your criteria.

I'll arrange introductions.

Let's piss him off.

Then find me someone hotter.

No problem.

And

tougher too.

Line up eight or ten

meeting that standard for me to choose from.

Oh my, eight or ten?

You can handle that many?

Absolutely.

Fine.

Then I'll start looking.

Eight to ten.

You said it.

That's very kind of you.

Tell me about it.

This isn't coming out of my pay, is it?

Now there's an idea.

For safety,

we'll use the water scope to remotely

to check the underwater situation

and see if we can find any clues.

Mu Dai,

my uncle will be okay, right?

No news is good news.

Why are there no fish?

This feels like dead water.

When I was a kid,

this lake had tons of fish and shrimp.

Even with the lake shrinking, this isn't normal.

Luo Ren,

pan the detector horizontally

and see if there are any fish nearby.

Could the clam

have disrupted the ecosystem?

I bet it's also the reason

for the pearl disappearance in Wuzhu Village.

Indeed.

Such a huge clam.

Even people avoid it like the plague.

Let alone the fish and shrimp.

So the pearl disappearance has nothing to do with retribution.

It's simply due to an ecological disaster.

Oh my god!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just algae.

Scared me to death.

Are those bones?

Doesn't look human bones.

I'll have the detector move underwater to take photos

and then stitch them together.

Oh my god,

the underwater scene is really eerie.

What,

does your village run a slaughterhouse?

We used to make sacrificial offerings

to the God of Water.

During festivals, three kinds of sacrificial animals would be offered.

On grand occasions, whole pigs and sheep would be sacrificed.

And there are concave areas in this slope.

Water currents likely

accumulated sacrificial animal bones here,

forming a large area of bones.

What a waste.

Luo Ren.

Can you rotate for a frontal view?

♪In the deepest night, longing takes shape♪

♪Warm memories slowly embrace you tight♪

♪The path of growth is inevitably lonely♪

♪But someone will shine on you like the stars♪

♪Though fate may be muddy, through the storm♪

What if my grandpa finds out?

♪Stubbornness and courage keep you strong♪

My parents died early.

Uncle's his only son left.

♪In the gaps of time within memories♪

♪There will be light, gently warming you♪

He seemed tangled in waterweeds.

I doubt it was that simple.

We've all gotten entangled when swimming.

You could tear free with some effort.

Unless the clam

dragged him down.

Anyway,

let's get your uncle out of the water.

Perimeter is clear.

Can the manipulator handle it?

A maximum weight of 120 kilograms.

It should be fine.

Careful! The clam!

Thirteen-Thousand,

protect the detector!

Got it.

The clam is watching from below.

It's going to be difficult.

Luo Ren,

did you set up the video playback?

Everything's preserved till signal loss.

Don't worry.

I've got the amulet.

It's my father.

Mr. Jiang,

did you receive my offerings?

At this point,

retrieving the body means dealing with that clam.

But confronting it is dangerous.

You don't have to join.

Count me in.

I'm definitely in.

You all know

I came

for Pingting.

Turning back now means leaving empty-handed.

I'm seeing this through.

Though it's dangerous,

as the old saying goes,

desperation breeds miracles.

Maybe pushing forward

will bring new insights and a turning point.

I asked Thirteen-Thousand.

His father's remains are down there.

His mother's might be too.

He's coming with us.

Then so am I.

That clam took my life savings

and nearly my life.

I would've died without you.

Besides,

I have to help

Thirteen-Thousand.

We shared bunk beds.

♪Trapped in darkness, longing for daylight♪

♪Pursuing light behind the fog♪

Why are you looking at me?

This is my employee,

this is my employer and bestie,

and this is my disciple.

And you're my...

♪I know you will hold on to me at last♪

My friend.

Of course I'm going.

♪Good and evil may rise from a single thought♪

♪It doesn't take a reason for us to stand together♪

Alright.

Let's do this.

♪Hands are joined even without heaven's blessing♪

Since we're doing this,

we need a plan.

Try to lure the clam from the Eye of the Lake to the surface.

Once it's out,

I'll fire the capture net.

The moment it's in the net,

I'll hook it to the winch.

Reverse!

That clam is too strong.

So we need to activate the winch immediately.

At the same time, Thirteen-Thousand drives the car.

We'll use multiple approaches at once

to firmly hold onto the clam.

As long as the car moves fast enough,

it won't have time to react.

Then we'll just tow it all the way to the shore.

After it's dragged out,

the next step is to extract the flesh.

The relic of ill omen likely nests within.

Remove the relic of ill omen,

the clam will calm down.

That's our plan.

Wait,

how do we

bait it out?

I'll do it.

I'll make noise from the boat to draw it up.

I'm skilled in martial arts.

I'll run away once it's out.

It's been so long.

Why hasn't it appeared?

Didn't you see it?

Move to this side.

If you can't see, let me see.

Move to this side.

I'm looking.

So annoying.

Quit nagging.

Fine, fine.

Spotted.

It's here.

Here it comes.

Zoom in.

That clam can fly!

Mu Dai!

Mu Dai! Watch the ground!

Mu Dai!

Reverse!

This makes no sense.

Winch can't budge it!

Mu Dai!

Mu Dai!

Go!

Now!

Faster!

Drag it! Harder!

Drag it onto solid ground.

Let's see how this clam fares then.

Workable.

Strand it on the shore.

Almost there.

Victory's close.

Are you okay?

Where is it?

Let's move!

Go.

The car is stuck.

We ran it over and it's stuck under the car.

Stuck under the car?

Now what?

What do we do?

This way. Grind it to pulp!

Everyone, get off the car!

Get off now!

Get off!

I'll go thi way.

No, come this way!

This is your end.

Cao, grab weapons.

Take this.

Lift.

Cao.

One, two, three.

Lift!

Water.

Relic of ill omen of water.

What is this?

Let go of me!

It fears blood!

Blood? Where am I supposed to get blood?

Right, I do have blood.

Smear blood on it.

Don't let it get back into its shell.

Go get water!

Now!

Here.

Move aside!

Harder!

I've researched this.

The lake's disappearance

isn't connected to burning clams.

It's geological.

I also

inquired about the old chief.

After leaving Wuzhu Village,

his mind deteriorated.

One moment he'd be negotiating with the God of Water,

and the next he'd say he was cursed with retribution.

Later, he insisted on returning to the village,

and his condition improved.

It's just that he can't hear about clams.

The moment he hears that word,

he goes crazy.

But he'll be fine in a couple of days.

Be fine in a couple of days?

What kind of retribution is that?

You stay here with her.

I'm going home to check.

I'll take care of it.

By the way, Mu Dai,

There's something I've been wanting to ask you.

Back when we fought the clam,

I kept calling for you.

Why didn't you respond?

Did you?

I did.

You seemed like

a completely different person.

No... I wasn't.

It was when the clam clamped down on you.

Mu Dai.

How did it end up with you?

Here.

Master.

Thirteen and the Hongsha had it rough.

Should we go comfort them?

Don't.

- Let them process it on their own. - Let them process it on their own.

Dad.

Mom.

It's been a while since you've been home.

I brought you back.

From now on, you'll stay with me.

We're not coming back.

Alright.

Understood, Mr. Kun.

Mr. Kun mentioned

he's setting up some kind of test.

All five of us need to return.

To Lixi.

Not a single one can be missing.

It's fine.

Then I'll go back with you first

before heading to Huacheng.

Where's Thirteen?

He's here.

And he's got a tail.

Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao!

Jiang Zhao.

I know I failed you.

I failed your family.

All these years, I've worried about you,

wondering if a child like you

could survive out there on your own.

I know I'm guilty.

The village's destruction

is my retribution.

I beg for your forgiveness.

Forgiveness?

If I forgive you, will that ease your conscience?

No.

No.

You don't have to forgive me.

The one who died was my father.

He's been lying in the water for over twenty years.

You should be asking for his forgiveness,

not mine.

He's the one who lost everything.

What right do I have to forgive you in his place?

No.

I don't deserve your forgiveness.

I'm guilty. I'm guilty.

I heard

that due to geological shifts,

a vanished lake has reappeared.

The pearl disappearance

is due to the ecological destruction.

Now that the problem's resolved,

once the water returns,

the fish, shrimp, and clams will come back too.

And then

Wuzhu Village will return as well.

But there will never be

Jiang Zhao's family in Wuzhu Village again.
