A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Mr. Chung.

You have a good memory.

You remember me after seeing me once.

Of course.

You're Hsin-yu's friend after all.

Is that so?

Let me ask you then.

Who exactly are you?

Me?

What do you mean?

There's no ghost aura.

There's no demon aura either.

And he's not a devil.

LU PO-YA

He even has identification.

I'm sorry, I spaced out just now.

What did you say?

Who exactly are you?

Me?

What do you mean?

I'm just a university professor.

Is that so?

I know what you did at the party.

No ordinary person can lift

the Mad Sound Curse that an evil spirit cast.

How did you do it?

So that was a Mad Sound Curse?

You didn't know?

I've always been very interested in mysterious things.

But I've never had a chance to encounter them.

I saw that spell in my grandpa's journal.

Right, my grandpa was a Taoist priest, so I know a bit about ghosts and demons.

Though there are many mysterious things in the world,

after many years of research, I've realized that

most of the time, they are explainable by science.

For instance, this Mad Sound Curse.

I'm guessing that it's actually the combined result

of a certain magnetic force, aura, the sounds in the area,

-and the effect of alcohol. -That's enough.

I'm sorry.

It's rare to meet someone who understands, so I was a bit excited.

How do you know about the Mad Sound Curse?

Who are you then?

Mr. Chung.

See you.

Any updates on my request?

I came here immediately after checking.

After all, only by knowing the enemy can we always be victorious, right?

Cut the crap.

Here.

Lu Po-ya.

The 32nd generation and the only son of the Lu family.

His family is the only descendant left.

His family is an expert in feng shui, geomancy, Yìjīng, and divination.

Since they are the only ones left, they won't let him choose that path.

Lu Po-ya did good in his past life, so he has a good life now.

He's very interested in ghosts and monsters.

It could be due to the family's profession.

That's all. Very detailed, right?

That's all?

Why would I need you just for that?

Don't be impatient, okay?

Don't condemn him just because you can't get her.

He's handsome. That's not wrong.

Get to the point.

Lu Po-ya is clever, with a photographic memory.

He entered university at 12 and got three PhDs at 25

in Theology, Psychology, and Earth Science.

He's a famous travel adventurer

and was featured in countless academic journals.

He's smart and athletic.

FROM FU

Everything is normal tonight.

No news about Wu Ching-yuan.

Hsiao-chi already went back to watch the bakery.

Are you really that worried?

Then do your best to get her.

Listen, Old Chin isn't here. I'll teach you something.

-That's not what I'm worried about. -Then what is it?

If it's not Professor Lu, then how did that incident happen today?

And what is the background of that rookie ghost?

Why is there a gap in her memories?

Why did Wu Ching-yuan choose to appear now after being gone for so long?

Could it be a diversion?

Where is this place?

It's beautiful.

Who are you?

Let me go.

Let me go!

Thank goodness it was just a dream.

I must ask my dad to hire some bodyguards for me soon.

Good morning.

You're sweating so much.

Why are you here?

I was so happy last night.

Last… Happy?

I hope that we can be together forever.

No!

Her ghost aura isn't dense.

How can she know the Mad Sound Curse of evil spirits?

Watch out!

No!

Ouyang Kai.

Ouyang Kai!

Ouyang Kai!

Boss.

What should I do?

Help me.

What are you doing?

You're really not scared of me?

You can still go back.

Your resentment is so deep.

Boss.

What should we do now?

Bear the consequences

for your own actions.

Boss!

Boss.

Boss, what are you doing?

I want you to see it clearly.

Boss, what are you doing?

Hi, you…

My mom said this is for your mom.

Can't they do it themselves?

Damn.

-Please accept these chocolates. -It's Friday. Are you free?

-For you. Take a look. -Do you want this, Goddess?

Can I ask you out?

-Can I? -Let's go out together.

-Or can we have coffee? -Do you want to go out with us?

EAST UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TUITION RECEIPT

He really came.

I'LL WAIT IN THE ABANDONED CLASSROOM. I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. CHIA-CHI.

I knew it, I'm still popular.

Why meet me in this abandoned classroom though?

En-hsi is treating me like her assistant. If you want milk tea, buy it yourself.

I…

I'll go.

Do you get it now?

I do…

Yes.

So Mu-ching is really possessed by a ghost?

It's okay, you're under my protection. No one would dare to touch you.

Just do as I say next.

I promise that you'll be safe.

Hsin-yu!

What's the matter?

What happened?

I saw a ghost!

You saw a ghost?

-I took Ouyang Kai home, then… -Hsin-yu. En-hsi.

Help me.

-Why did you leave me alone in your house? -I…

Calm down, you two. What exactly happened?

Help me, please.

How can I help you?

Let's try to talk to her.

What should we talk about?

She's not Yao Mu-ching.

I know, but let's try it first.

I want to know what she wants.

Are you serious?

Let's do as you say then.

Let's try it.

Actually, we really want to help you.

So if you have any problems or need someone to talk to,

you can tell me.

I have nothing to say.

What's with that attitude?

You must be following Ouyang Kai

because you have some unfinished business or want to find someone to help you.

You can tell me.

You don't need to bear the burden alone, okay?

Why should I trust you?

Besides,

how dare you talk to me?

How strange.

We're talking to you nicely. Don't you understand us?

What's with that attitude?

Mind your own business, okay? This is none of your business.

Do you want to splash it again? It won't work the second time.

En-hsi, you're so cool.

What are you doing?

Hsin-yu.

Don't worry. Boss said that he had prepared everything.

This way, please.

I hope Boss's idea will really work.

Did you prepare this especially for me?

Of course.

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, Ouyang?

Why are you here?

To welcome you.

You lied to me.

You colluded with them to lie to me!

Why do you keep following Ouyang Kai?

What exactly do you want?

That's right.

And what exactly is your motive for possessing Yao Mu-ching's body?

What's so nice about them,

especially her?

How am I worse than her?

Why won't you look at me? Why?

Did you wrong her in some way?

If not, why would she say these things?

I didn't, okay?

Why are you saying these things?

Have you really forgotten about me?

Since you paid my tuition fee,

I fell for you.

You really don't remember.

Didn't you only pay for my tuition?

You paid for someone else's too?

Mr. Ouyang.

Don't you like paying tuition fees?

Pay for hers then.

Why let her pay in installments?

That's so troublesome.

En-hsi, you were the one who told me to pay for it.

Me?

It's settled then.

Miss.

I'll take care of your tuition fee.

So…

Is there a misunderstanding here?

Wait a minute.

Calm down first.

-I think we must clarify certain things. -There's nothing to clarify.

Let me ask you.

Are you rejecting me because of this girl?

I…

I knew it.

Boss, stop playing around! Come out!

It's you? What's going on?

You… Hey!

You make people faint every time.

Who told you to come here?

No one.

I came to find him.

How exactly did you offend her?

I don't know her at all.

I just paid her tuition fee.

Then…

That's all? Are you sure?

Yes.

I can't believe

that you really don't remember who I am.

Tell me.

Since you're already dead,

why did you possess a body and follow Ouyang Kai around?

What would you get by doing that?

Why must I get something out of liking someone?

I really like him.

I just want him to like me too.

Can't that happen?

Congratulations.

For what?

Don't you always want to see ghosts?

You're seeing it now.

And she really likes you.

Congratulations.

Aren't you being ridiculous?

For my sake…

So…

Will you like me?

Let go of your obsession in the Human Realm.

Usually, one can reincarnate smoothly after dying,

but suicide is a sin.

I suggest

you let it go now

so that you can end your suffering soon too.

Suicide? Sin?

I just like him.

What exactly did I do wrong?

Boss.

Wait.

Fine.

I'll let you handle it.

Thank you.

Thank you for liking me so much.

What's the use of saying these things now?

You don't even remember me.

What's the use of saying that?

I remember your name.

You are…

Chia-chi.

You remember my name?

I remember now.

I'm sorry.

If we had met earlier,

perhaps we could be friends

and I might even fall for you.

It's just that…

we really can't be together anymore now.

You're saying

that you might fall for me?

Of course.

All lovers start out as friends.

And you're not a bad person.

If we had met earlier,

we'd surely become good friends.

I'm not a bad person?

What do you mean by that?

That's not what I meant.

I mean, you're very pretty.

Look.

You look so much prettier when you smile.

Let me help you.

Look. You're so pretty like this.

Remember.

In the next life,

you must smile more.

Because you look very cute when you smile.

Thank you.

Actually, you're great.

You don't need to become someone else.

Only by letting go of hatred and pain

can you be happy.

Why am I saying these things?

Since you've already let go, come with me.

Something's not right.

You hesitated earlier.

Where's Kao Chia-chi?

Let me ask you.

If you just want Ouyang Kai's attention, why did you commit suicide?

Commit suicide?

I don't know.

I just heard that if I wear a red dress

and meet the person I like at that abandoned classroom,

we'd fall in love.

After that,

I really can't remember

what happened.

All right.

Come out.

There are outsiders here.

You're not even hiding my identity.

You know each other. Why hide your identity?

Well…

This spirit's cause of death is fishy.

Go and investigate.

All right.

Go.

-That person just now… -He's not a person.

You're not a person! Your whole family isn't human!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

How much did they eat?

They look so light,

but they're as heavy as pigs.

Am I getting lucky in love?

I can't believe two girls

are laying on my bed.

I haven't taken a good look at Li En-hsi.

You… Are you awake?

En-hsi.

En-hsi.

My head hurts so much.

Are you awake?

Ouyang Kai.

Where am I?

Yao Mu-ching?

What?

You still won't tell me

who exactly you are, why you have these powers,

and why you're not scared of ghosts?

Scared of ghosts?

Aren't you also not scared of ghosts?

Actually, what's scary aren't ghosts.

It's the greed, hatred, and ignorance of humans.

Let me ask you then.

Were you the one who saved me

at Yao Mu-ching's birthday party?

I…

This is for you.

I made this bread.

Bread?

This is bread?

It's so flat.

It's okay if you don't want it.

Who says I won't eat it?

What's the matter?

Does it taste bad?

This is the best bread I've ever had.

Really?

My saliva's on it.

So what?

It's quite good.

I'll get going then.

Thank you for taking me home.

-Bye. -Bye.

My saliva's on it.

So what?

No wonder people say that love makes one stupid.

It's true indeed.

What are you doing this time?

Official business.

I've checked. Kao Chia-chi didn't commit suicide.

I've arranged for her to be reincarnated.

She didn't commit suicide?

That's not right.

The entire thing is really strange.

Strange?

What do you mean?

Why does Kao Chia-chi have a gap in her memories?

I wanted to check them, yet I couldn't see anything.

I'm not sure either.

But I think someone's behind all of this.

Breaking news.

An explosion occurred at the bridge that leads to the mountain area.

AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED AT THE BRIDGE, LPG SUSPECTED TO HAVE SEEPED OUT.

No!

Hsiao-ping!

An explosion occurred at the bridge that leads to the mountain area.

The cause is suspected to be the overflow of LPG in the bridge's pipeline.

En-hsi, it's you.

You're ridiculous.

You even fall asleep while watching television.

What a waste of electricity.

I'm going to my room to sleep.

I'm going to bed. Good night.

Through the Pingtung County Government's "Build Your Dream Project:

Start your business and realize your dreams"…

There are a lot of handcrafted models on the market now.

We hope that…

Boss.

After Cheng-huang left, you kept watching that same news.

Did you notice anything strange about it?

After last time, did Wu Ching-yuan ever appear again?

No.

Whether it's around the bakery or other places,

we couldn't find any traces of him.

That's strange.

How can Wu Ching-yuan be powerful enough to hide

from all the patrolling Ghost Guardians?

Is there any place in the Human Realm that we can't sense?

This matter isn't as simple as it appears.

Wu Ching-yuan might have other motives.

You're suspecting

that what's happening in the Human Realm lately

might be related to Wu Ching-yuan?

I can't be sure yet.

And there are still many questionable points now.

Tonic soup.

Please enjoy it.

I always drink that when I'm tired from work.

Lady Meng taught me how to make it. Try it.

Lady Meng?

CHUNG KUEI

That's what we'll do.

Okay.

Boss.

Why do you look so tired lately?

It's nothing.

Perhaps we have too many cases lately. I'm fine.

Then you must take a good rest.

-All right. -I'll get going then.

Hey.

Are you calling me?

Well…

I…

I was just passing by.

This is for you.

For me?

I…

I haven't been sleeping well lately.

This kind of tonic soup isn't suitable for me to drink.

You can have it.

Are you giving it to me?

Take it.

Boss.

Boss!

Did you think of something?

No.

I finally found you.

Found me?

Do you know me?

I'm just wondering

why Lady Meng's heavenly aura suddenly disappeared.

Yes.

That's the reason why Hsiao-chi and I couldn't sense where she was

despite searching for her for so long.

That's what is strange.

That's why I don't want to alarm anyone.

Boss.

Do you think we should tell Lady Meng the truth?

Hsiao-ping!

Should I tell her?

Chung…

Good morning.

Good morning.

Why are you here?

I came to take you to work and I also brought you breakfast.

I…

I've already eaten.

Let's go then.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Hsiao-chi.

Hsiao-chi.

Boss, you're here.

I told you to guard the bakery. Why were you sleeping?

I don't know either.

I suddenly fell asleep.

It's like I suddenly shut down for a while.

Boss.

I'm sorry.

Cheng-nan.

Mrs. Wu, what's the matter?

I don't know why,

but I feel uneasy and very anxious.

What exactly happened?

Last night, I had a nightmare.

I dreamt that Ching-yuan came home.

He looked very pale.

He told me,

"Mom, I won't come home anymore.

You must take good care of yourself.

Goodbye."

Did something happen to him?

So Wu Ching-yuan came back.

No wonder Hsiao-chi fell asleep.

Even though he always wandered around,

he'd always call me to make me feel at ease.

This time, I haven't heard any news from him for so long.

Something must have happened.

This won't do. I'll go to the police station.

I'll ask them if there's any news about him.

Mrs. Wu.

Don't panic.

Actually, I've been looking out for news of him.

And the police also said

that if they had any news about your son, they'd notify us immediately.

They don't have any news now.

No news is good news, right?

Okay.

No news is good news.

No news is good news.

Since the 15th, the fire department

has been searching for a 28-year-old man in Hualien Mountain.

In the photo, you can see that the pristine forest is foggy.

They are traversing mountains and rivers to find this man

who told his family on the 10th that he was going to pick some herbs there,

but he didn't return that day.

They waited five days before reporting him missing.

After the fire department received the news,

they immediately formed a search-and-rescue team

of nearly 151 men for the search.

They only found the jeep the man was driving that day on the scene

and no trace of the man himself.

Someone reported seeing the man's car in the mountain area

around the Hualien Civil Affairs Office.

We immediately formed…

You didn't ask me to come here to watch you drink, right?

Tell me, what favor would you like to ask?

Is it about Wu Ching-yuan?

I think there's a bigger motive behind this.

He broke the Bridge of Helplessness and took Lady Meng hostage,

yet he disappeared when he got here.

Logically, if he has a grievance,

shouldn't he come directly to me?

Perhaps he doesn't trust officials like us?

If he can't trust us, who can he trust?

Could it be God?

What are you talking about?

Gods in Heaven,

don't mind him, he's drunk.

Seriously,

don't you think that these strange ghosts appearing lately are related to him?

Where's your proof?

You need proof for these things.

Don't blame everything on Wu Ching-yuan just because you can't catch him.

Besides, you're the Exorcism Lord.

No ghost can escape from you.

Hey.

Your eyebrows keep…

Let go!

What are you doing?

Why are you so violent?

I was about to tell you to stop furrowing your eyebrows.

No girl would like you in that case.

Fine.

I'll send more staff to talk to Lord Cheng-huangs in other places too

and expand our search area, okay?

That's what I've been waiting for!

Thank you, buddy. Cheers.

You…

You…

I knew it was a trick.

Fine.

I can help you.

You're not allowed to leave if I haven't had enough to drink.

Let's get drunk tonight.

To be honest,

you're the only friend I have whom I can talk to.

You're not aware.

Actually, I feel so sad.

If you don't tell me, how would I know why you're sad?

I…

I don't get it.

Even if she lost her memories,

why did she forget about me too?

Tell me.

Is it possible that she already remembers everything,

but doesn't want to be Lady Meng,

so she says that she's Meng Hsin-yu

and she really believes that she's Meng Hsin-yu?

Is she really happier like that?

Hey.

Your imagination is running too wild.

I think she's happier.

How so?

I can tell.

You know what?

You know that guy?

You know…

Every time I see that guy go to her,

here…

It feels sad.

I'm so sad that I don't know what to do anymore.

It's even sadder than failing to catch ghosts.

Okay.

My friend, stop being sad.

Let's have a drink first.

I feel so much better.

If you knew this would happen, why did you do it?

What did you say?

I heard you.

I'm saying

that you know Lady Meng 1087

has had a crush on you for so long.

And you kept ignoring her.

All right, now another guy has come along.

He is aggressive, takes initiatives, and gentle.

What should I do now?

My friend, listen.

You and Lady Meng have known each other for centuries, right?

Compared to him, you have the advantage.

What you should do now

is to strive harder.

Take the initiative.

Since Lady Meng used to have feelings for you,

you can definitely get her.

Yes.

Yes.

Back then, I even held her waist and whispered the chant.

I was teaching it to her,

"Om mani padme hum."

Yes.

Lady Meng likes me.

She likes me.

Right, that's what you should think.

Didn't you keep Lady Meng's identity hidden,

hoping that she can happily do the things she wants

here in the Human Realm?

But is this what she wants?

Just kill me.

You've already done it. Isn't it too late to say that now?

You erased the memories of the humans, but you never erased hers.

Aren't you hoping

that you can share good memories with her here in the Human Realm?

So what you must do now is…

Lord Cheng-huang's Classroom.

Fourth dating technique in the Human Realm.

Cater to her pleasure to suit her fancy.

Give her flowers,

drop her off and pick her up from work, or just simply be around her

would be good.

Timeout.

-That's too old-fashioned. -No.

Why are old-fashioned dates still romantic?

Because it's effective.

-I don't know how to play it. -That's not the point.

The point is the feeling. The feeling, okay?

Look, move your fingers along the piano

and all the girls would scream for you.

-Perhaps… -That's enough.

I think you're pranking me.

It took me 60 years to come up with this technique.

You're saying that I'm pranking you?

I'm going to do that now.

Here.

Bottoms up.

Prank you?

You're so sinister.

It sounds so nice. I wonder who's playing.

-They might be in the piano room. -Shall we go and listen in?

Sure.

MOM CALLING

Chen Che-hsuan seems to be practicing even harder than before.

Yes.

But he seems to be practicing the same piece lately

even until night time.

Seriously?

Is this the designated piece for a competition?

No.

Do you think he might be possessed?

He looks familiar.

Have I seen him somewhere before?

He's the musical genius of our Music Department,

Chen Che-hsuan.

Musical genius?

So Chen Che-hsuan is that incredible.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Che-hsuan is so incredible

and became who he is today because he practices day and night.

Professor.

Did you also work very hard

to become as incredible as you are now?

Everyone needs to work hard.

No one is an exception.

Like me,

I've also worked very hard

for a long time.

But not everything can be accomplished through hard work.

What is an example of that?

For example,

love.

It seems like when the Professor said,

"Not everything can be accomplished through hard work,"

he was talking about Hsin-yu.

Why did I just realize

that the two of them are so in-sync?

They don't need to speak,

yet they know what they should do.

Since they're such a great match,

why is Hsin-yu still hesitating?

And it seems like the Professor is also very cautious.

It's just dating.

Why do they make it so tiring?

MESSAGE FROM OUYANG KAI

I found a nice place for tonight's haunted house live broadcast.

Let's talk. Come and meet me now.

It's taking him so long.

Guess who I am.

You're so childish!

I was joking.

Why do you suddenly want to talk?

Well…

I know. Do you have a quirky idea?

Or do you want to wear something more unique tonight?

I want to talk to you about the haunted house.

Sure, what about it?

After the last live broadcast, I couldn't sleep when I got home,

so I'm planning to quit this.

What about Oh My God It's Do Min Joon?

What do you mean? Isn't he just a loyal fan?

No.

I mean, it's a shame to lose such a rich and loyal fan.

All right, that's all.

I'm going back to work.

She asked me to come here for that?

Hsin-yu.

I saw your interactions with Professor today.

I noticed that you two are very in-sync.

I mean,

you don't need to speak and you know what the other person wants.

Why are you talking about that again?

I'm just very curious.

I saw the look on Professor's face today.

He looks very pitiful.

Don't you feel sorry for him at all?

Actually, I feel bad when I see him like that too.

And I've thought

about whether Po-ya and I can be together.

If I like him too,

when he's near me,

I should feel happy, right?

But I…

I don't feel comfortable at all.

There's even…

There's even a voice inside my head

that keeps telling me,

"Don't."

Why not?

From another woman's point of view,

I really can't see any of Professor Lu's shortcomings.

I really think you should treasure him.

Why are you here?

I'll be your study partner now that there are no broadcasts anymore.

And since I'm worth hundreds of millions,

I'm a "high-class study partner."

You're a board member here.

Don't you have anything better to do?

Yes, I came to check out the situation in class.

I don't have time for you.

Ouyang Kai.

Do you mind?

I didn't say anything.

Why are you annoyed at me?

All right, time for class.

Go back to your seats.

Today, I want to talk about

the relationship between feng shui and modern science.

The so-called evil energy

actually corresponds to the Nine Flying Stars in feng shui.

To explain it in modern terms,

that's the Big Data Statistics thousands of years ago.

To put it simply,

the so-called metaphysics or feng shui

is just another kind of scientific theory.

Perhaps some of you have heard that

banyan tree leaves can be used to ward off evil.

Does anyone know why?

Actually, it's very simple.

Banyan tree leaves are a Chinese herb.

Its main function is to remove dampness, swelling, heat, and toxins.

In feng shui, it can remove bad luck.

Let me give another example.

During winter, we have the northeast monsoon.

So the northeast side of a house is the coldest and dampest area

where the sun can't reach the most.

The yin element is the strongest at this time.

That year,

if the Jumen star that's responsible for illnesses is in place,

this area would form evil energy.

How should we change this kind of magnetic field?

Using a scientific method, we handle it with external forces.

The Japanese would use salt.

Westerners would use garlic.

For us, we'd use glutinous rice, black vinegar, charcoal,

and ashes from burnt incense.

These household items can change the magnetic field.

If you study the relationship behind these things,

you can often find some scientific basis.

That's the subtle connection between metaphysics and science.

-Go ahead. -Professor.

Is loving someone considered metaphysics or science?

Love

usually depends on fate.

Speaking of fate,

-actually, feng shui can influence fate. -I think there's something wrong

-But one's determination is the key. -with Lu Po-ya.

-Usually, the more determined you are, -How so?

-There's something behind his smile. -the more you should know that love…

-And it's not good. -For example, one who bravely pursues love

-It's something bitter. -are more prone to encounter love.

How do you know that?

Well, I can read people.

His smile means that the girl

doesn't like him.

That's why he's smiling like that.
