[The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

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

[Episode 5]

I don't care what you are.

Stay put.

I'll get you sooner or later.

Pingting.

Here.

Duckie.

It's fine.

You're saying the skin moved,

with a pattern on it?

Hard to say.

Just a flash. I didn't get a good look.

That sounds like

a parasite.

They are like some kind of parasite

and its host.

By the way,

Pingting was humming a song at the time.

Could there be a connection?

I...

I'll send you a video.

Just a moment.

Mr. Kun,

you're using a smartphone?

Which rule says I can't?

I'm not out of touch with the times.

Just didn't want to be bothered by you guys, so...

This melody...

It's the song Pingting was humming.

And who are you?

That's Luo Ren.

I've mentioned him before.

Hello, Mr. Shen.

I'm Pingting's guardian

and also

a friend of Mu Dai's.

A friend of Pocketty's is a friend of mine.

I compared many tunes with the one Pingting sang.

That is not an ordinary tune.

More like a ritual chant from Lengquan

used to invoke deities.

Then why were Pingting

and my uncle humming it?

That part is unclear.

Needs more investigation.

Pocketty, Radishie,

keep working on it.

Call me if you find anything new.

If not,

don't.

Alright.

Radishie? Pocketty?

Just Mr. Shen's quirk.

No offense meant.

He mainly gives you a nickname

because he regards you as a friend.

It's a sign of approval.

And radishes

are nutritious.

In many regions, they're called "earth ginseng".

He's basically saying you're like ginseng.

Sorry

for splashing ginseng water on your face.

Thank you.

Hey, Cao,

life is just beautiful.

Why the sigh?

You wouldn't understand the struggles of chasing dreams.

They say the mountain will not come to Muhammad,

then Muhammad must go to the mountain.

But now?

The problem has rolled away on its own!

Xiaoshang River is so far from here.

And yet Mu Dai had to personally

deal with that Luo guy's mess.

If I'd been there,

I'd never have let her go alone.

At least someone should've gone with her.

Unbelievable.

Poor thing.

Mr. Zhang,

have you ever been to Xiaoshang River?

No.

Good. You shouldn't.

Let me tell you,

that place is really dangerous.

No one should go there alone.

Oh? You've been?

Of course I have.

And that Luo Ren guy?

A holier-than-thou hypocrite.

Even Chubby

called him a stalker.

You'd trust someone like that?

Wait, really?

Maybe it's a misunderstanding.

Because...

Look,

Lady Dai is stubborn.

No phone call's bringing her back.

So what do you do?

Must send a brave and resourceful person

to assist her immediately.

Mr. Zhang,

Madam Hong entrusted her to you.

If anything happens to her,

well,

you're responsible.

We do need to send someone reliable.

But who?

Would you stop hovering around me?

You're making me dizzy.

I see what's going on here.

You're just mooching off Mr. Zhang

to dodge work

and live the easy life.

Look,

it's normal for workers to want to slack off a bit.

Don't tell me you want to work.

Seriously,

are you going to see Mu Dai?

Of course.

Why wouldn't I?

I'll just snap a few pics

and check in.

Hey,

why don't you come with me?

Why would I?

Mr. Zhang's only covering your food and lodging.

No perks for me.

You could just

freeload off me.

You just need to pay your own travel costs.

Oh, please.

You just don't want to go alone

and need a travel buddy.

That's a vicious misreading.

I have your best interests at heart.

Think about it.

You want to be her disciple, right?

If she won't come to you,

you go to her.

If she runs away,

you chase her.

Traveling all the way to Xiaoshang River

shows devotion.

Even the coldest one would be moved.

Go on.

Alright.

If that wretched woman

ends up in trouble,

and you swoop in

to save her,

what would she do?

She'd beg you

like, "Cao Yanhua,

you're a great disciple."

Thirteen-Thousand,

you know, you come off as very annoying

when you're saying these things,

but I have to admit,

you're a genius.

Let's go.

[Xiaoshang River Service Area] [Motel]

You've got food all over your face.

Take your time.

Go eat.

I'll cover for you for a while.

You sure? You're still hurt.

Don't worry. I've rested well.

I'm mostly recovered.

Alright.

Your lips are chapped.

Haven't had enough water.

Don't lick them.

It'll only make it worse.

Drinking water won't help.

Is that so?

Do you have a lip balm?

I left in a hurry.

Use mine.

I'll buy you one later.

Thank you.

Wait.

I don't mind.

Alright.

Thank you.

I'll go eat now.

Mu Dai.

Come here.

Come and eat.

- Have a seat. - Mr. Zheng.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You've helped us a lot these two days.

You have no idea

how chaotic it was before.

Luo Ren's upstairs.

He's watching Pingting eat.

They're so close.

Of course.

When Luo Ren first came to the Luo family,

he was stubborn

and quiet.

But Pingting

stuck to him like a shadow.

Followed him everywhere.

Here, have some soup.

Thank you, Mr. Zheng.

Later,

Luo Ren left and no longer lived here.

But

their bond stayed the same.

There was a time when his uncle and I

even tried to set them up.

Who would have thought

something like this would happen?

Setting them up?

But aren't they cousins?

Same surname, no blood relation.

Calling them cousins

was just out of habit.

Just out of habit.

Go on, eat.

What's wrong with you?

You're here to help, remember?

Luo Ren and Pingting

are a perfect match.

What's it to you?

Look at you.

Just do your job

and stop overthinking.

We're out of drinks. Stop looking.

That's a nice building.

Right?

Wait.

Hold on.

I think it's over there.

Keep going this way, and we'll be off course.

See that arrow?

Right?

Yeah.

Any farther and we'll overshoot it.

Let's go.

This is it.

It has to be here.

I'll check in with Mr. Zhang.

There isn't even a doorbell.

I can't see.

Move a bit to the side.

A bit more.

See anything?

I see something.

Are we trespassing?

I haven't gone inside.

At most, it's peeking.

Fair point.

Any findings?

I don't see anything.

Are you blind?

There's a window boarded up with planks.

Boarded up?

Yeah.

And between the cracks, I see a woman!

Is that Mu Dai?

No.

Definitely not her.

Maybe she's one of those

imprisoned girls

from the movies?

Get down now.

Let's call the police.

No.

We haven't even gotten a clear look.

If this turns out to be nothing,

and Lady Dai is still inside,

you think you can ever be her disciple,

and I can get away with this?

That's true.

Keep observing, then.

Try to get some useful information.

I see that Hummer.

Duh, it's Luo Ren's.

Mu Dai.

In a minute.

What's wrong?

What else did you see?

If I'm not mistaken,

these two are from your bar, right?

I saw a surveillance camera too.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Here.

It's fine.

Have some water.

Out with it.

What are you two doing here?

Look, it's like this.

You've been gone for days.

We missed you terribly.

Please, let's respect each other's intelligence.

Why beat around the bush?

Then you tell her.

Mr. Zhang is worried about you.

What's he worried about?

You're in an unfamiliar place,

far from home,

and with a guy we know nothing about.

He...

Well,

Mr. Zhang doesn't know you.

He only knows you're a man.

Well, she's a woman.

Of course, he'd be worried

if the two of you went out together.

Right.

I'll explain things

to Mr. Zhang.

You two

head back where you came from.

Don't get in the way here.

Come on.

We came all this way

- and haven't even had a sip of water. - Ren

I just...

Hey, come on.

Step outside for a sec.

Give me a hand.

I bought too much stuff.

Luo Ren!

Mr. Zheng.

- Mr. Zheng. - Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng.

Who are you guys?

They are...

They are Mu Dai's friends.

They'll be staying here for a few days.

Perfect.

The lamb shank today is excellent.

I couldn't help but buy extra.

I was worried we couldn't finish it.

It's great that you're here.

The more, the merrier.

Let's finish it.

Here, let me grill it.

I'll definitely help.

- Mr. Zheng. - Mr. Zheng,

I know how to handle lamb legs.

Let me take that.

- Let me. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - We should have come earlier

to help you with the shopping.

Alright.

Where's the kitchen?

- Come on. - This way.

Over here.

It's here.

Alright.

Come on.

Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng.

Have some grilled meat.

Thank you.

It's so lively with you here.

Have a taste.

- Wait. - Thank you, Mr. Zheng.

You're not letting us do anything.

Just sit and relax.

How nice.

How is it?

Not good.

- Really, it's not good. - Give it to me.

Hey, give it to me.

Mr. Zheng, let me do that.

You take some to Pingting.

Oh, alright.

Mr. Zheng,

this portion has more lean meat.

Mr. Zheng,

switch all the utensils to disposable ones.

Don't let her touch anything hard again.

Alright.

Is this done?

Is it good?

The tomatoes are even better.

I've had four already.

Where is Thirteen-Thousand?

He went to the toilet.

Such good lamb.

But he can't handle it.

Weak stomach.

He gets diarrhea.

Mr. Zheng, are you alright?

My waist.

Did you twist it?

It's nothing.

You need to go upstairs, right?

Let me help you.

Alright.

Be careful.

Okay, thank you.

It's actually my fault.

I wasn't watching

where I was going

and strained my back.

It's fine. Just call me if you need anything.

Alright.

Could you carry this for me?

I won't look.

The passcode is just six zeros?

That's so amateur.

Pingting is sick.

Please keep your voice down.

Pingting, it's time to eat.

Pingting.

Your favorite grilled meat.

Here, give it to me.

Help me.

It's tender. Have some more.

Help me.

What's on your mind?

You're still up?

I saw you from upstairs.

Did you eat something greasy,

and now you have stomach trouble?

No.

I was thinking about Pingting.

I just messaged Mr. Kun

to ask for updates,

but he hasn't replied yet.

This whole thing is just bizarre.

He's probably just

as confused.

I don't think so.

He is an expert in this field.

Anyway, I believe in him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on.

Come here.

Do you remember me?

Earlier today, did you ask me for help?

Alright.

Then I'll get straight to the point.

I need to confirm two things.

First, are you Luo Ren's cousin?

Second, is your name Luo Pingting?

Yes.

Help me. Get me out of here.

I still need to call the police.

Tell me about your situation.

I need to give them details.

Otherwise, even if I get you out,

you won't get far.

They will catch you again.

Right?

I am not Luo Ren's cousin.

What?

Alright, then tell me now.

I'll go get you some warm water.

Thirteen-Thousand!

Cao Yanhua.

Pingting!

Pingting.

Pingting!

Pingting!

Mu Dai!

Pocketty,

the image you sent is crucial.

It just hit me.

That pattern on the skin

might not be

a pattern at all.

It could be text.

Ancient text.

The ancient character for "blade".

"Blade"?

In every fishing line puppet murder scene,

someone takes a blade.

Is this how relic of ill omen kills?

This confirms one thing.

Every time this pattern appears,

Pingting has an episode.

No wonder she's desperate to escape.

Luo Ren,

you have to stop me from killing.

Lock me up.

Just like my uncle.

Driven to kill.

Then we'll keep

constant watch over her

and make sure she never gets to leave.

But what if she stays like this forever?

And I don't think guarding her will work.

Why not?

Haven't you noticed?

Pingting is so desperate to escape

that she even tried to jump

from the third floor. It's so high.

High enough to kill her.

So why would she jump without hesitation?

Think about it.

Is there even the slightest possibility

that she...

What possibility?

I'm just guessing.

Look,

the cases

of Liu, Luo, and Pingting

reveal a pattern.

The relic of ill omen

only moves

to another host after someone dies.

If

Pingting is kept locked up,

the relic of ill omen will decide

she's useless.

So

it'll abandon her.

So it might force her to kill herself?

That's a possibility.

Someone has to die

for the relic of ill omen to leave.

What about faking death?

Faking death?

You'd have to stop your heartbeat and breathing.

Try pulling that off.

It's not a real solution anyway.

Once the relic of ill omen leaves, it'll just find a new host,

and that will harm innocent people.

We can't save Pingting at the expense of others.

Pocketty, you're absolutely right.

I'll keep researching.

I'll call you

if I find anything.

Hello?

Just a power outage.

Scared me half to death.

Well, don't be frustrated.

Try to look on the bright side.

We're finally getting somewhere.

Mu Dai, you...

You're hurt.

You mean this?

Don't touch it.

It will breed bacteria.

Here.

Thank you.

By the way,

I'll book two rooms

at a nearby hotel.

You can take Cao Yanhua and Thirteen-Thousand there.

Thirteen-Thousand messed up.

Kicking him out makes sense.

But you don't have to send me away, too, do you?

What are you talking about?

The window repairman is coming soon.

It'll be noisy.

And you haven't slept all night, right?

Also,

don't blame Thirteen-Thousand and Cao Yanhua.

I'm sending them away

for safety reasons.

Was it really Pingting who knocked me out?

I am so strong. How could she knock me out?

Strong? More like clueless.

All that talk about "surviving the streets since your teens"?

You'd better watch out.

You're the type society weeds out.

You will be weeded out.

You came all this way to freeload,

then turned the place upside down.

You two are something else.

Hey, Lady Dai,

as law-abiding citizens,

shouldn't we lend a helping hand

when we see a girl

possibly being held captive?

Right.

So you're saying Luo Ren

should reward you both, is that it?

What's so funny?

Go back to where you came from!

This is all your fault.

You are also to blame.

If Pingting is kept locked up,

the relic of ill omen will decide

she's useless.

So it'll abandon her.

So it might force her to kill herself?

What about faking death?

Faking death?

You'd have to stop your heartbeat and breathing.

Try pulling that off.

Once the relic of ill omen leaves, it'll just find a new host,

and that will harm innocent people.

We can't save Pingting at the expense of others.

Hello, Dr. Zhao.

Please come by tomorrow.

Money won't be an issue.

Bring your full emergency kit.

Where are we going?

Since Pingting's asleep, I thought I'd take you out

to see the desert.

We could always see it after everything's settled.

Just take a ride with me.

The desert is so quiet at night.

Yeah.

I've always enjoyed driving at night.

It helps me calm down

and think

when I am troubled.

Scared?

No, are we going

a bit too fast?

If this were your last moment alive,

what would you do?

What do you mean?

Luo Ren!

There's no road ahead, is there?

Stop the car!

That was terrifying.

How was it?

This is a classic local experience.

Using visual illusions to simulate a brush with death.

I wasn't ready just now.

Let's do it again.

Only once.

It's no fun

when you know what's coming.

So?

How did it feel to have a brush with death?

Obviously, living is better.

I must cherish life

and live well.

Live to a hundred years old.

You will.

That was thrilling.

I've never seen so many stars.

Feels like

I could reach out and grab one.

The stars are very far from us.

Their light

takes years to reach Earth.

What we see now

is the light they emitted long ago.

Like, that star

might already be dead.

The way you put it,

it's like all the stars hanging in the sky

are skeletons.

And all starlight is like souls.

Did you come here often to see the stars?

I brought Pingting here before.

Pingting and I aren't related by blood.

I went to live with my uncle

because of my father.

He had two wives.

Two wives?

My mother was his first wife.

She endured hardship with him and helped him build his career.

Later, when he finally made money,

he decided to pursue

what he really wanted.

Like love.

That was just an excuse.

Later,

that woman finally married into our family.

They didn't dare register the marriage.

But they had a grand wedding.

Even grander than my mother's.

Life was bearable at first.

But after that woman gave birth to a son,

everything changed.

Two things happened to me that year.

First, I was nearly killed by a car.

Later,

I was poisoned

and had my stomach pumped.

Was it that woman's doing?

That's how it goes in dramas,

scheming over inheritance

and such.

My mother thought so.

Where are you going?

So she sent me to live with my uncle.

Pingting was only four or five back then.

She had two pigtails

and was holding a big wooden sword.

She said to me,

"Ren,

Dad said someone is bullying you."

"But don't be afraid."

"If they come after you again,

I'll chop them."

Luo Wenmiao was my uncle.

But he felt more like

a father to me.

♪Whenever memories whisper silently♪

After he passed away,

Pingting became my closest family.

Family.

♪Together we brave the storms of adversity, oh♪

My uncle told me

to stop him from killing.

♪This fickle fate♪

But I failed.

♪Is like a cliff of thorns♪

♪Through the pain we march on♪

I told Pingting to guard my uncle,

assured her not to be afraid,

that I'd handle everything.

But she went crazy.

♪Just want to slowly love you with all my hope, oh♪

My words meant nothing.

I failed at every single thing.

♪Through all the time we've spent together♪

♪Countless memories forever♪

So this time,

I don't want Pingting to get hurt again.

♪Just want to slowly, slowly hold you tight♪

♪Shatter the mirage in fading light♪

Mu Dai.

Thanks for last night.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

♪I'll take your hand till the world ends♪

♪See our future, I believe, I believe, I believe love's horizon awaits♪

Funny,

someone held a knife to my throat

when we first met.

Didn't seem too happy about it at all.

You still remember that?

♪Through all the time we've spent together♪

♪Countless memories forever♪

This is for you.

For me?

♪Shatter the mirage in fading light♪

Next time you're reminded of this,

just take the knife out

and stomp on it a few times to vent.

♪I'll take your hand till the world ends♪

Don't dwell on the worst of me.

Then tell me, what is the best of you?

♪Just want to slowly love you with all my hope, oh♪

♪Through all the time we've spent together♪

♪Just want to slowly love you with all my hope, oh♪

Hello, Mr. Zheng.

Mu Dai.

Did Luo Ren act strangely

around you yesterday?

Or did he say anything unusual?

What do you mean?

We're leaving just like that?

Listen,

that wretched woman is furious right now.

We need to play along for now.

Know what this is called?

Strategic retreat.

Follow her.

Hey,

I know their passcode.

Let me handle this.

You're here.

Luo Ren, open the door.

So you all here.

Luo Ren!

Let me enter the code.

Luo Ren!

Hurry.

He's already changed it.

You won't be able to open it.

Luo Ren, open the door!

- Luo Ren! - Luo Ren!

Open the door!

What should we do then?

Now you need me!

You're hopeless.

A wise man won't sell his secrets,

but shares them freely with friends.

Today, I'll show you something dirty.

Locks keep out gentlemen, not rogues.

Watch this.

See?

Luo Ren.

What's going on?

Luo Ren, what are you doing?

Luo Ren, don't be rash!

Luo Ren, what are you doing?

Luo Ren...

Luo Ren!

You...

Luo Ren, you...

Quiet!

Mr. Zheng,

is the doctor ready?

He's right next door.

Doctor?

Come on.
