Original subtitles

Didn't expect that, did you?

Your grandfather's murderer

is right beside you all along.

What's so funny?

Because that's a big, fat lie.

When my grandfather passed away,

Feng Baobao would be eight years old at most.

The Feng Baobao you described

is around 20 years old.

Try harder next time.

Go now.

Or I'll start shouting.

Think before you lie to me

next time.

Why don't you find out yourself

if I'm lying to you or not?

(Grandpa...)

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

♪Why am I the odd one out?♪

♪Or does my past deed cast me out?♪

[I'm Nobody]

[Episode 10]

[This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to existing entities is purely coincidental.]

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

I don't care

whose face you borrowed.

Tell me now.

What does Sinister Pleasure want?

You must have

made a deal with Shen Chong.

Do you know

what usually happens to Shen Chong's client?

To keep their power from disappearing,

they will commit murders.

But the more they kill,

the more qi they lose.

Eventually, they lose their humanity.

They will then kill their parents,

loved ones,

children,

and even their brother.

You killed Hu Sheng,

didn't you?

Shut up!

I did not kill anyone.

I am Hu Sheng.

(Hu Jie and I? No way.)

Hu Jie

has always been the meek one.

(But I know)

(he)

(holds me dearly.)

I am Hu Jie.

I killed my brother.

I killed my brother with my own hands.

No!

Sinister Pleasure did!

They killed Hu Sheng!

They did!

Sinister Pleasure.

Can you tell me

what they want?

Sinister Pleasure...

(Time to collect what is due.)

(No qi? Then pay with your life.)

Shen Chong drained his qi remotely.

He's a goner.

Yu Huadu disguised Hu Jie

as Hu Sheng.

Gao Ning and Shen Chong

must be behind their deaths.

Xu Si, release an arrest warrant.

Xu San,

bring Chulan here.

Don't tell him anything yet.

Just say I need him.

Where is Feng Baobao?

I just woke up.

I don't know

when she left.

You...

Zhang Chulan.

Do you know

who Feng Baobao is?

Several years ago,

to perfect the Flowing Rainbow,

I traveled around

to collect the qi of various people for my analysis.

I've been to this nation

where the punishment for felons

is the removal

of their frontal lobe white matter.

They will forget who they are,

what they did,

and even what kind of person they were.

For those criminals, their qi

will turn transparent and colorless

after the procedure.

They essentially remove

their primordial spirit,

dignity,

and pride.

They are robbed of what makes them humans.

And Feng Baobao is in this state now.

Her primordial spirit was reset.

Zhang Chulan.

So, do you really know

who Feng Baobao is?

Chulan.

Chulan.

I've been looking for you.

My dad wants to see you.

Good.

I have questions too.

Mr. Xu, you asked for me?

Chulan, you're here.

Tell me.

Has anyone contacted you lately?

By anyone, you mean...

Sinister Pleasure.

Now that you bring it up,

I think a foreign number

texted me once.

What does it say?

Let me show it to you.

Chulan, you...

Dad?

Stay right there!

Move!

Fatty, stop him!

Stop him!

Two Zhang Chulans?

You idiot!

Don't stop me!

Stop him!

Stop that Lian.

Why are there two Zhang Chulans?

Who are you?

[Yu Huadu deliberately murdered Xu Xiang and violated the Outsiders Convention.]

[He is to be arrested and shall wait for trial.]

How is Mr. Xu?

The doctor said that he lost a lot of blood

and might not survive the night.

However, he refuses to go to the hospital.

I know my body.

No need to admit me.

I need

to tell all of you something.

Coincidentally,

I have some questions too.

Feng Baobao,

did you kill my grandfather?

What are you on about, Chulan?

Why would she kill your grandfather?

I'm asking her!

Feng Baobao.

I'll ask you again.

Did you kill my grandfather?

Your grandfather...

Yes, I killed him.

Chulan.

Calm down.

Mr. Xu.

When Feng Baobao killed my grandfather,

you were there too, weren't you?

Take a seat.

I'll tell you

what I know

about Wu.

You two will stay.

Don't worry.

If we wanted to kill you,

anyone here

would have done it anytime.

And you know

we are capable of doing that.

Who is Wu?

Wu is Baobao.

It's been many years,

but this habit of mine won't die down.

When I first met Wu,

it was in the Year of Jiashen.

[Year of Jiashen]

♪The starry sky light years away from us, what kind of being are we?♪

♪Trying to entrust eternity to the vast galaxy, should I?♪

♪The last ray of sunlight before the sun sets, tearing the night apart♪

♪Until dawn arrives♪

♪The sea of time♪

♪Lonely and desolate♪

I'm afraid of the mountain.

If we don't forage,

what do we eat?

Right.

Miss,

why are you here all alone?

It's getting dark.

It will be dangerous.

You don't look local.

She's

quite beautiful, isn't she?

What are you doing?

Don't do this!

This isn't right.

She doesn't mind.

Stop it.

Stop.

You two!

What are you doing?

Chase them!

Perverts! How dare you!

Don't come back!

Miss.

Are you all right?

Miss.

What is your name?

Let us walk you home.

Come inside.

I'll get you some warm water.

Come in.

Come in.

Come.

Xiang.

[Xu Xiang, 8 years old]

This is our son.

His name is Xu Xiang.

You can call him Xiang.

Come.

I have warm water here.

Come on.

Have something warm.

Warm water.

What a poor girl.

She seems to have lost her memory.

And she is mute.

She is dressed

like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Let's head to the town tomorrow

to check which family lost a daughter.

Okay.

I'll get her some food.

Maybe she's starving.

(Miss.)

Go to bed.

Tomorrow,

my husband will head to the town

to find your family.

You're safe now.

If you need something, let us know.

We'll protect you.

Come on.

One.

Two.

Three.

Enough.

It's too tough.

Then don't chop it.

Come in.

After you.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Close the door.

Close the door.

Did you go to the town?

Yes.

No one lost a daughter.

The town hall

did ask me to bring her to them tomorrow.

The town hall?

They can take her in?

No idea.

That place is for official business.

If her family doesn't show up,

she'll be thrown around like a ball.

I feel bad.

But we can't

let her stay here for long.

People will talk.

Besides,

that's one more mouth to feed.

So?

I don't care.

Give me a solution.

What can I do?

Just forget it.

I'll send her

to the town hall tomorrow.

Wow!

Do it again.

Hurry.

Again.

Wow!

Again.

Wow!

Do it again.

Hurry.

Chop one more.

Wow!

Again.

Hurry.

Again.

Wow!

Your back is acting up.

Should we keep her?

(My dad)

(even visited the neighboring towns)

(to ask around.)

(He got nothing on this woman.)

(And so, she stayed in my house.)

(Back then, many people sought refuge)

(in the woods.)

(Since she refused to speak)

(or answer our questions,)

(we called her Wu.) (*Wu as in nothing)

(Before my family fell from grace,)

(they were a literate bunch.)

(And so, teaching Wu how to speak)

(became my mother's task.)

That is a dog.

Dog?

Stop chasing him.

You're scaring him.

(My mother said)

(that Wu)

(might have forgotten everything)

(due to trauma.)

(She even)

(had proof.)

Xu!

Xiang.

This is...

What did she write?

[Feng Baobao.]

Feng Baobao?

Feng Baobao.

This is the only thing that came to my mind.

I think this is my name.

I knew it.

A pretty woman like you

definitely can speak.

She can write too.

(My mom became enthused.)

(She began to teach Wu and me)

(how to read and write.)

(She gave up once)

(because she deemed me)

(too stupid for it.)

Xiang, look at Wu.

Then look at you.

Mom.

You know my noggin doesn't work.

Besides,

Wu knows how to write.

She just forgot about it.

But now, she recalled it.

Wu,

other than your name,

did you recall anything

about your past?

Your past.

Wu?

Are you okay?

Wu.

What happened?

Go get Mr. Xu.

He used to be a physician.

Wu.

Are you okay?

Wu!

Mom.

Mr. Xu is here.

Here we are.

Slow down.

Mom.

What is Wu doing?

I don't know.

She got up

and sat down like that.

Her palms face the Heaven.

Perhaps she is cultivating qi?

Cultivating qi?

Qi?

Cultivating qi

is what

Mystics do.

When I was younger,

I wanted to cultivate qi under a mentor.

I knelt before his abode

for three days.

He

took me in as his disciple in the end,

but regrettably,

I did not have the talent for it.

(That was)

(my first time)

(getting to know qi.)

(At that moment,)

(I could only feel)

(a revitalizing breeze)

(around Wu.)

Ms. Zhao.

Don't tell anyone

about this girl.

You wouldn't want any trouble.

This woman

has a much more complicated history

than you imagined.

Wu, what happened to you during the day?

No idea.

My head felt like bursting.

Like something

wanted to come out.

And then?

And then I meditated.

I felt better after a while.

Who taught you that?

The qi thing.

I don't know.

I guess I learned it in the past.

It allows me

to stir everything inside me.

Once it flows smoothly,

the pain goes away.

It feels good.

No wonder.

You have it inside you too.

I can feel it.

Me?

You don't trust me?

Do it with me.

There's nothing.

I have been sitting like this for a while,

and I feel nothing.

How odd.

I can feel it when I sit like this.

Meditate. I'll check on you.

I see it now.

Your thoughts are all over the place.

Your mind needs to be calm.

Come on!

How can you tell that my thoughts are all over the place?

Of course I can.

I don't know

what you're thinking about,

but I can feel

that you're not calm.

That thing is like water.

Distractions will scatter it.

When you're calm,

it starts to gather and assemble

inside you.

Gather

and assemble.

It then stays in your tummy.

(That was)

(my first time)

(cultivating qi.)

(Under Wu's guidance,)

(cultivating qi became my daily task.)

(Fearing that my parents would reproach me,)

(I kept the training)

(between Wu and me.)

I think I have become stronger.

Mr. Xu is so dumb.

This is such a simple trick,

yet he couldn't do it after years.

(The first step of cultivating qi)

(is to find the qi.)

(It's the hardest step)

(and also the most perilous one.)

(Without Wu's help,)

(even if I followed all the right steps)

(and trained myself,)

(I would end up dead)

(or crippled.)

(But of course, I only knew that)

(much later.)

It's quite catchy.

Huangyang shoulder pole.

You like it?

[Jiashen]

[Five years later, Year of Jichou]

Tonight,

they'll have to make do with sweet potatoes.

They are not pigs, mind you.

Wu.

Come.

I bought you a duck.

Take it.

Take a seat, Second Aunt.

Here.

Ms. Zhao,

isn't that

odd?

She came here

when she was around 18.

It's been five years

and she still looks the same.

Anyway, forget about this.

I have something to tell you.

Wu

can't possibly stay in your house

forever.

What do you mean?

Wu.

I have good news for you.

We agreed

that

you should be

my daughter-in-law.

What does it mean?

Look.

I

already brought you

a duck.

Well,

consider this a bride price.

Second Aunt.

We've already agreed on this.

Oh, goodness.

Come on.

You know

my situation very well.

You have many to gain

if Wu marries my son.

I quite agree with Second Aunt.

I disagree!

[Xu Xiang, 13 years old]

Your drooling son

wants Wu as his wife?

In his dreams!

Mind your words.

Is Wu

very bright now?

She

is just as dull.

Perfect

for my son.

No means no.

Enough.

Wait.

Xiang.

Do you fancy her now?

Your son is...

Jeez.

Sit down.

Stop shouting.

We'll let Wu pick.

All right,

Second Aunt?

Second Aunt.

You

should give up on Wu.

Her noggin isn't good enough

to understand you.

I

can decide

for her.

We

have a lot of ducks here.

But we only have one Wu.

This doesn't make sense.

Wu isn't even your daughter.

How can you decide for her?

Wu isn't my daughter.

So I can't marry her off to anybody.

Second Aunt,

what if one day

her parents

showed up?

Imagine.

How am I supposed to face them?

Nonsense!

You just want to keep her

for your son.

Second Aunt.

I don't know about that.

I do know that she isn't

going to be your daughter-in-law.

Have fun

raising those two idiots

all your life, then.

Unbelievable!

Curse it!

This is getting on my nerve!

Come inside.

Listen, just now, you were...

Are you stupid?

Her son is dull.

And so is she.

No one in their right mind

would marry their daughter to her son.

You

are trying to ruin Wu's life?

But Wu

can't stay with us forever.

She's an adult now.

It's

not right.

When I'm free tomorrow,

I'll take to her to the town.

I'll find her a husband. All right?

I guess that's the only option we have.

Dad, Mom,

even if we can't find her family,

we can't throw her away.

Can we

adopt her,

then?

So Second Aunt is right.

You do

fancy her.

Perhaps

I can adopt her as my goddaughter.

You'll have a sister.

Mom!

I've been thinking.

If we cannot find her family,

we can only accept her

as our family.

What do you mean?

Are you saying that she's stupid

or that Xiang is not good enough for her?

No, I don't think she's stupid at all.

I just think that she's so distant.

So cold.

Even a dog

will show gratitude.

Does she

treat us

as her family?

You're quite emotional, aren't you?

No, I'm not.

Wu.

Do you like us?

Do you like Xiang?

Like?

What is "like"?

See? She doesn't know what affection is.

I was just joking.

Like...

I like...

Like...

Wu.

Like...

Wu...

Like...

Okay.

We forget it.

Like...

Forget it.

Like...

Like...

Like...

What is "like"?

All right.

Wu.

Stop thinking about it.

I was just saying. Don't take it to heart.

There, there.

Three.

Two.

One.

I'll send the photo here

in a few days.

That's all?

Thank you.

(Wu.)

We'll get to see the family photo

in a few days.

Family photo?

What is that?

It's a photo of all of us together.

Dig in.

Wu.

You have been here for five years now.

We don't know

when your birthday is.

I was thinking.

We should use the date of your arrival

as your birthday.

Wu.

Happy birthday.

What is a birthday?

Birthday is the day

you get to eat many good things.

On my previous

birthday,

Mom boiled me two eggs.

Two eggs.

Have some more.

So all this food is for me?

Well, yes.

Eat.

Mine.

Mine.

Xiang.

I kept one last slice of meat for you.

Is it delicious?

Say thank you, then.

Thanks, Wu.

(Wu)

(became our fondest family member.)

But the blissful days

were soon interrupted

by a tragedy.

Don't resist!

Move it!

Take

all food

and valuables.

Hurry up.

Don't resist!

Stay there!

That's our lamb!

Sit back down!

Gather these villagers

later

and burn them alive.

Leave no survivor, lest they expose us.

Yes, sir!

♪The Huangyang shoulder pole is soft and flexible♪

♪Sisters and brothers, ya-ha-li-ye♪

♪They say Liuzhou...♪

This woman is...

Show me your smile.

Boss!

Come.

Sir! Mercy, please.

Take everything away

but not her.

She's still young.

Don't take her away.

I'm begging you.

Please.

She's young.

Spare her...

I'll kill you!

Xiang!

Boss.

What do you think of her?

Stay right there!

Xiang!

What a cruel world!

This is not fair!

This is not fair!

Ms. Zhao.

For some reason,

when I see you cry,

I feel sad.

This place

hurts.

I don't want to see you cry.

I don't want to see Mr. Xu

and Xiang

getting hurt.

I want to see you smile.

I want to hear you sing.

Does this mean I like all of you?

Ms. Zhao.

I like you.

I like Mr. Xu.

I like Xiang.

Wu.

I envy you at times.

You can stay ignorant.

Ms. Zhao.

I don't want you to cry.

I want you to be happy.

How can I make you happy?

My husband is dead.

What do you think

can make me happy?

Ms. Zhao...

All right.

I want all of them dead!

That woman

is feisty.

I dig that.

All right, Ms. Zhao.

I'll kill all of them.

You pack a punch,

lass.

You're trained?

(My mother thought)

(the bloodbath)

(would)

(traumatize me.)

(Little did she know)

(that for someone)

(who has one foot)

(in the Outsiders world like me,)

(what I saw)

(was something that defied all common senses.)
