[The Mutations]

[Episode 7]

It's afraid of fire!

Catch it!

Those who disobey my order

will be executed!

Chase after it!

Chase after it!

Whoever talks about

what happened today

will be mercilessly executed

for affecting military morale.

Yes.

You are the Lord's envoy.

Among all the envoys,

you are the only one

who can enter the Lord's place.

Why?

Why me?

You will eventually understand.

Here.

What will happen to him

after contracting this strange disease?

Will he become a monster?

Mr. Chu.

I'm here to help you.

Chu Sijing.

Why are you here?

It's a long story.

There's a monster here.

It's dangerous.

Let's leave first.

Have you seen Shen Cong and He Liuhong?

Yes.

Shen Cong can control the monsters.

She's dangerous.

She was controlled by He Zijiao.

She is very important.

We have to get her back.

Come with me.

Hurry.

Shen Cong?

Brother, run!

Brother, run!

They are Heng Masters.

We're Black Ibises.

I'm here to help you.

You can't leave.

Go. Hurry up.

We can't save her.

Let's retreat first!

Chu Sijing!

After them!

No one is here.

Go over there.

The Heng Masters' men are everywhere.

Let's hide here for a while.

Ms. An.

Why were you in the Heng Masters' Stone Cave?

My boat sank.

Everyone is dead.

All of this

has something to do with He Zijiao.

You knew He Zijiao?

He came to my ship

and told me about the monster.

Who are you?

Ms. An.

It doesn't matter who I am.

The monster you've been looking for

is on Wumu Island.

Everything you want is on that island.

If you've made up your mind,

come to see me on Wumu Island.

He said as long as I controlled the situation,

I could catch the monster

and find the truth.

I didn't expect to be controlled by him instead.

I won't let him off.

So,

everything

is related to He Zijiao.

Ms. An.

You will

get your revenge.

But now's not the right time yet.

Let's calm down,

organize our thoughts,

and find a solution.

Tell me.

Why did He Zijiao arrest you?

After you left the island,

He Zijiao used the islanders

to incite chaos.

He took the chance to capture Shen Cong.

I went to save Shen Cong.

But they caught me as well.

He Liuhong, too.

They also killed the Black Ibis who accompanied me,

Lei Sui.

What do the Black Ibises have to do with you?

The Black Ibises are actually the guardians of Wumu Island.

They have been fighting the Heng Masters for two years.

My men

captured the monster for Wumu Island,

and they came to rescue it.

You call those guardians?

That's because that monster

used to be a human.

Eunuch Yang, what can I do for you?

Mr. Xu.

How are the patients in Ninghai Fortress?

Nothing unusual.

Really?

Then,

what happened in the prison just now?

Why did you

lead the soldiers with you

in such a hurry?

I know.

you must have planted many spies in the army.

But please trust me.

Since the establishment of Ninghai Fortress,

I've done my best every day

and dared not neglect my duties.

Done your best?

You didn't report the incident on Wumu Island.

You didn't report Lei Sui's disappearance either.

Even when someone died mysteriously, you did not report it.

What kind of chiliarch are you?

Since you can't handle it properly,

I'll handle it.

You just need to keep an eye on the remaining patients.

As for the other matters,

leave them to Long Cheng.

Mr. Long?

I asked Long Cheng to lead the troops...

to investigate the matters for you.

Eunuch Yang,

have you already sent the message?

I've written the letter.

It'll be sent tomorrow morning.

Eunuch Yang, you are unaware.

The remaining typhoid fever patients

only have mild symptoms left.

They will recover soon.

A patient did escape just now.

I promise I will catch him

and promise

that the same thing will never happen again.

I hope you can

allow me to

resolve the matters of Ninghai Fortress myself.

Don't send a message to Ningyuan.

Are you asking me to do that?

I dare not.

I've made up my mind.

Say no more.

You may leave.

I told you to leave.

Since you've made your decision,

I don't need to hide

the truth about the patients anymore.

Say it.

Words are not enough.

Please take a look with me.

Eunuch Yang.

It's in the first room.

What am I supposed to see?

Xu Zongqi!

What are you doing?

You're challenging my authority!

Xu Zongqi.

What do you want...

I just want to live.

As long as I can live...

Now,

this is the only way.

Xu Zongqi.

Xu Zongqi.

Xu Zongqi!

This island is so suspicious.

Why are you still here?

I came to Wumu Island

to find my younger brother.

Two years ago, my brother came to Wumu Island

to handle a task in my stead.

But after he got to the island,

he disappeared.

The Chu family's long-inherited position of the captain

is now vacant.

Logically, you are the eldest son.

It should be passed on to you.

But your brother Chu Siyu

has solved many cases these years.

He is at the peak of his popularity.

So Mr. Shangguan cannot decide

who to give this position to.

I called you here today

about a difficult task.

The bureau has ordered you

to go beyond the Pass

and investigate a strange matter.

Beyond the Pass?

[Medicine]

Sir.

Four coins of castor bean.

I have to remind you.

Castor beans are very poisonous.

One coin worth of castor beans is enough to cause high fever,

stomachache, and diarrhea.

If you use too much, your life will be in danger.

Thank you for reminding me.

Brother.

Time to take your medicine.

Siyu,

thank you for your help these days.

What are you talking about?

Did the fever mess with your brain?

Brother,

for the month ahead,

I have instructed Aunt Li

to prepare and serve you the medicine daily.

Also,

I've arranged for someone to manage

the cooking and washing too.

Why?

Are you going out?

I've accepted the task

to go beyond the Pass.

Do you know what kind of task that is?

It's going to be chaotic beyond the Pass soon.

Once you leave,

you might not be able to come back.

All the more reason for me to go.

Lieutenant Colonel, Sir.

My father is gone.

I only have my brother left.

Shanhai Pass Station has delivered a message.

Your brother is missing.

There is no clue of his whereabouts.

Missing?

He only made a trip beyond the Pass.

How did he disappear?

It's chaotic beyond the Pass now.

Many Imperial Guards who went out there

were separated by rebels.

I tried to persuade him before,

but he insisted on taking over the task for you.

I have to find him.

Don't panic.

Even Mr. Xiong has lost.

I can't even imagine

how chaotic it is beyond the Pass right now.

What's the use of you going?

My brother took over the task for me.

I have to go.

Chu Sijing,

you are now a captain.

You have a lot of things to deal with in the capital.

And now, you'll need a warrant to go beyond the Pass.

How will you tell Mr. Shangguan?

That you want to go out there to find your brother?

So I must find him.

You believe that

your brother is still alive?

Since my brother went missing,

I've been tortured by nightmares.

But in my dream, I can clearly feel his presence

and his pain.

I also felt a strange power.

That must be why He Zijiao

said you were chosen by the Lord.

I don't know about that.

Ms. An.

You already know

the truth about the monster now.

This island is full of dangers.

After we escape the chase tomorrow,

I'll find a boat for you.

Leave Wumu Island as soon as possible.

I won't leave.

I can't leave either.

The king ordered me to catch the monster.

It's my father and brother's last wish too.

I need a chance to prove myself.

If I want to change Portugal,

I need this honor.

In Portugal,

is honor

more important than life?

It took my father several trips to Ming

to earn his nobility title.

That was also when he met my mother.

In the eyes of the Portuguese,

a noble

married a Ming citizen

and gave birth to a mixed-blood child.

That is not acceptable to them.

All they do is plunder

around mercilessly.

I don't want to be like them.

I want to change.

I've prepared so much

and finally became a captain.

Even if it's not for the title and my family,

I have to do it for myself.

I'm going to prove the Portuguese wrong.

So I won't lose.

I can't lose either.

Mr. Chu, are you okay?

Mr. Chu.

Are you okay?

Mr. Chu!

Siyu.

Thank you for your help these days.

Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu!

I'm fine.

In the Heng Masters' Stone Cave,

He Zijiao force-fed me some strange medicine.

Although I don't know

what He Zijiao wants,

he must want to control the monster.

That's why he controlled Shen Cong.

Back in the Heng Masters' Stone Cave,

I saw Shen Cong save you.

We can't let Shen Cong fall into He Zijiao's hands.

No matter what,

I must find a way to save her.

Shen Rang.

Although he has become a monster,

he still has a mind.

Maybe only Shen Rang knows how

to save Shen Cong.

At dawn,

I'll go to the village to find Shen Rang.

Some surviving sailors are waiting for me by the sea.

I'll ask them if they're willing to follow me

and remain here.

I have a shotgun.

Who else can help you, if not me?

Take this.

There's a map inside.

The captain is here.

Captain, everything's ready.

I still have things to do.

I need to stay.

You can follow me if you're willing.

I'd be grateful if you did.

If you want to go home,

remember to avoid the southeast coast.

Be safe.

Leave as soon as you can.

Captain, I'll stay.

Me too.

Where is Elder Qiu Zhi?

Chu!

Chu!

Bo Yan.

Chu, seems like the wait was worth it.

Why are you here?

I know you're with Elder Qiu.

The fishing village is abandoned,

so you can only be here.

On the day we parted,

I saw them capture you.

Those small fries

were no match for me.

I told you.

You have your plan and I have mine.

I was just playing along.

Chu.

I found something important.

Someone on Wumu Island

can turn into a monster.

Maybe the monster we met before

was a person too.

I know.

Shen Cong was arrested.

So I rushed here

to see Elder Qiu and Shen Rang.

I'll take you there. Let's go.

Who is this?

She saved me.

You said that

Shen Cong was arrested.

By whom?

The Heng Masters.

The Heng Masters again?

Chu.

What happened?

Bo Yan.

Are those patients

locked up there?

How did you know?

I can hear their voices.

Mr. Chu.

When was Cong arrested?

The night before yesterday.

Lei Sui and I found something wrong with the fishing village.

So we asked Cong to wait for us in the forest.

We had 2 Black Ibises accompanying her.

But when we returned to the forest,

she had already been abducted by the Heng Masters.

What about Lei Sui?

Lei Sui

was killed.

Who killed him?

He Zijiao.

They deliberately lured us to the Heng Masters' Stone Cave

to arrest me

and kill Lei Sui.

He Zijiao is the real leader of the Heng Masters.

I didn't expect

it to be him.

It's been two years.

The Heng Masters are back.

Major Shen.

You're from Wumu Island.

You should be very clear

about matters on the island.

And I know

you knew my brother.

This strange disease,

Shen Cong,

the Heng Masters,

and my brother.

What is the connection between them?

Cong.

It's about to begin.

Mr. Chu, about this...

The less you know, the better.

At this point,

I must know.

We came to you

to discuss countermeasures with you.

If we know nothing about the island,

how can we save Cong as soon as possible?

And how can we resist the Heng Masters?

Don't worry about Cong.

I'll take care of it.

This doesn't concern you outsiders.

How can you say that?

His brother is missing.

My sailors are dead.

He Zijiao wants to kill us.

And you say it doesn't concern us?

Chu Sijing.

We are here to help him,

but he treats us as outsiders.

Shen Rang

is not trustworthy.

Major Shen.

The Heng Masters are our common enemy right now.

You must tell us the truth.

Stop talking.

Something happened. It's chaotic outside.

Seal the door!

Oh no.

That monster is coming.

It's almost at the village.

Captain.

This is bad. Let's go.

Looks like the monsters have avoided the front entrance.

No way.

I've been fighting with the monsters for so many years.

They've always charged into the nearest entrance.

Why

are they so different today?

We must go back now.

Don't shoot!

Please spare him.

Please spare him.

This is my child.

Let's go. Come with me.

Go!

Son, I'm your mother!

I'm your mother!

Son!

Son!

Son...

Look at me.

Why?

Son...

What should I do?

Over there.

Hurry up, move!

Run!
