[What happened in Yunwu Town is an abstract story. In the town, the residents seem shrouded]

[Fulu Inn]

Everyone says that Young Master Tian's wedding

was arranged too hastily.

It was foggy that day.

According to the lunar calendar,

that day was not suitable to get married.

But the Tian family, rich and powerful,

didn't believe in superstitions.

Master, Madam.

Here's the bride.

Catch the rope.

Sprinkle some dew on you,

hoping for many descendants in the future.

Touch the connected branches,

and may you be bonded for a hundred years.

Cross the bridge.

Sweep away ghosts and evil spirits,

and there are no taboos whatsoever.

The Tian family spared no expense

in following these old traditions.

Unfortunately, fate was not on their side.

Ninety-seven.

In the end,

something happened.

Ninety-eight.

They encountered evil spirits.

Ninety-nine.

Alright.

After walking the ninety-nine steps in Yunwu Town,

you will have a long-lasting union.

Okay.

Master,

there's an extra step.

How can there be an extra step?

I don't know what happened.

There is indeed an extra step.

Master,

the even-numbered steps are meant for ghost marriages.

I'm afraid

it's ominous.

Hunter Sun.

Butler.

This stone bridge in Yunwu Town

has been around for over a hundred years,

always with ninety-nine steps.

Did you count it wrong?

Indeed, there is one extra step here.

This is weird.

This marriage can't go on, Master.

Be careful.

It's nothing.

It's weird.

It's a wedding day.

There's nothing weird about it.

You can't lift it.

No!

Call the bridegroom.

Take the bride back.

Once you enter the bridal chamber and lift the veil,

there will be no taboos.

Hurry up!

Don't be afraid.

Hurry up.

I want to see if the evil spirit

is afraid of the gun in my hand.

What are you waiting for?

Take Sihan away.

- Hurry up. - Hurry up.

[R.I.P]

[Happy Wedding]

Run!

[Tian]

Close the door.

[Happy Wedding]

Sihan.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's fine.

Bridegroom!

Bridegroom!

[Happy Wedding]

Bridegroom!

Come and lift the veil.

Why does your voice sound like

it's coming from inside your stomach?

Bridegroom!

Come and lift the veil.

People in town who knew the old ways said that

[Doll Bride]

This was due to evil spirits.

The bride was possessed by a doll,

and she scared the bridegroom to death.

Not only Young Master Tian,

but even Hunter Sun who managed the wedding

encountered strange things.

Strange things?

The Hunter Sun

went hunting that day.

He wandered in the forest all day

and saw no living creature.

Just as he was getting frustrated,

he saw a wolf.

As he was about to shoot,

he was stunned.

The wolf turned into the appearance of his wife,

dressing as the doll bride.

Bridegroom?

What?

Who are you?

Speak or I'll shoot.

I'm your bride.

Xiuniang.

Xiuniang.

Why are you here?

He looked closely again,

and the woman's facial skin peeled off,

turning back into a wolf.

Hunter Sun was terrified

and then fell off a cliff

to his death.

He died just like that?

Exactly.

Even the postman who delivered the wedding invitations

died strangely.

This is a human face.

So scary.

In my opinion,

buddies,

it's better to be single.

At least we won't lose our lives

like him.

So, we just won't get married?

No way.

The bride's husband died before getting married.

How pitiful.

I know nothing about others.

But what happened to Young Master Tian was quite reasonable.

What?

Tell me.

A few months ago,

Young Master Tian went back to the city

to visit a young man.

Coincidentally,

that day was the Qingming Festival.

I'll burn more money for you.

That's when

he encountered the evil spirits.

Something is wrong.

Why is it so deserted in the town?

Because you chose today

to see me.

Others

would think you are cursing me.

That young man

left our shop ten years ago.

Tian He and he were childhood friends.

[Ten Years Ago]

They seemed to have secrets when they were kids.

For some reason, they suddenly split up.

After a long separation, Tian He got drunk.

So, the young man

let Tian He stay with him for a night.

Unexpectedly,

Young Master Tian was then haunted by evil spirits.

[Anxin Hotel]

Slow down.

The waiter said

there's only one room left.

When I was young, the elders used to say,

when you're away from home,

try not to stay in the last room

at the corner of the hotel.

But Tian He was very drunk.

The young man found it inconvenient

to change a hotel.

He drew a Bagua

and placed it on the door

to ward off evil spirits.

Fusheng.

Promise me not to tell anyone about what happened today.

Did you hear me?

Come on, let's

enjoy the night together.

Those who understand Feng Shui know that

[Fushou Room]

People generally knock three times,

but ghosts knock four times,

especially during midnight

from

eleven at night to one in the morning.

Fusheng.

I had a nightmare just now.

A shadow came to pinch my waist.

Then I saw myself

floating on the ceiling.

It scared me.

I saw it too.

It wasn't a dream.

After Young Master Tian came back,

he was completely changed,

talking nonsense every day.

A few days later,

he went

mad.

As you know,

Tian He

and the daughter of Mr. Zhao from our town's security team

had gotten engaged.

Master Tian, might have been

worried that the Zhao family would change their mind.

Out of concern for his son's future,

he hurriedly

arranged his son's marriage.

So,

they didn't choose a good day.

And eventually, something went wrong.

I see.

What's the name of the young man

who left our shop,

which you just mentioned?

His name is...

You...

Fusheng

It's me.

What?

What's your name?

I'm Fusheng.

I'm here to attend Tian He's wedding.

[Invitation]

Master Tian.

I'm Fusheng.

What happened to Tian He?

He is in the backyard.

Talk to him yourself.

There is something supernatural in you.

You shouldn't be here.

Why did you bury Tian He

in the house?

Master said he failed to take good care of Tian He when he was alive,

now hiding Tian He is the only way he can be at peace.

By hiding him,

those evil things

won't touch him.

Sihan,

prepare a room for him to stay.

When everyone is here,

we'll hold the funeral.

No need,

I want to stay with Tian He.

You are...

Sihan.

Fusheng.

I dreamed of a ghost.

Fusheng.

The ghost had six fingers.

What are you trying to do?

Master asked me to make you some soup.

You've just had a long journey

and are now keeping vigil for Tian He.

Sorry.

Tian He.

Is that you?

[R.I.P]

[R.I.P]

Sihan.

It's you.

Sulian?

Just now...

Sulian, Sulian.

Sihan.

Sulian.

Sulian.

Tian He is dead.

Don't come here again.

My son.

My son.

My son.

Sulian?

Do you know her?

I'm sorry.

I misunderstood you just now.

What did you say?

Master.

Since you've left,

why did you come back?

Tian He came to see me before

and told me something about our childhood.

You were both young then.

What could you remember?

I can forget.

The whole town hopes to forget that thing.

But Master,

Tian He's death was strange.

You've already kept vigil for Tian He.

What do you want to know?

I want to know the truth.

The truth is that

Fusheng is dead.

[Man who Jumped from the Window of the Inn]

You're not Fusheng.

Who are you?

God bless us!

Give my son back!

Give my son back!

He's here.

He's here.

He's here.

Madam.

My son.

Madam!

My son.

Madam!

My son.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Zhao, please.

My son.

My son.

Take her back.

Coming.

Madam.

Madam, let's go back.

We should focus on the overall situation.

In my opinion,

it's best to bury Tian He as soon as possible.

My son has just passed away;

what else matters

to me now?

It's a family scandal.

After all,

Tian He is your son

and my daughter's husband.

If we wait for the authorities to come and examine the body,

isn't that torturing the child?

He's gone.

What's there to be afraid of?

Let them examine.

Let them do an autopsy

and find out the real cause of my son's death.

Let me know why he died.

Let me out!

[R.I.P]

Sihan.

Go back with me.

My husband has not yet been buried.

I can't go back.

My son.

Tell them to stop singing.

Stop singing.

Stop moving.

Stop singing.

What did you find that day

in the hotel in the city?

Tian He.

I'm looking for...

I'm looking for some...

someone.

A newcomer is here.

Have a seat.

Sulian?

Are you looking for this?

I found it.

Fusheng.

I had a nightmare.

What's the dream about?

I dreamed of a long corridor.

And a bar-like space.

And there were several officers.

And Sulian.

Were they

walking without touching the ground?

Fusheng,

Fusheng, we ran into a ghost! Fusheng!

Ghost.

The ghost has six fingers.

The truth

isn't like that.

Fusheng.

Fusheng.

What happened?

He fell from upstairs.

So

Have I died?

You haven't died.

I checked in the town,

you're lucky

to be rescued.

He was the only one

who went to see Tian He before his death.

I suspect he was involved in Tian He's death.

Take him away.

Mr. Zhang,

any questions?

Although he survived,

he is too weak.

If I'm not mistaken,

he should have a divine spirit on him.

What kind of divine spirit?

A ghost?

You could say that,

but I can't be sure about

geomantic omen.

Stop!

Have you seen Sihan last night?

According to Fusheng's description to me,

Sihan should also

have a ghost on his body.

What did you say?

When she spat on Fusheng,

it wasn't her spitting,

but the things carried by both of them

were interacting.

Now only Mr. Zhang in Yunwu Town

understands this.

Sihan insists on marrying the Tian family,

but now she inexplicably refused to go back.

I find it strange too.

May I ask if Mr. Zhang

has a solution?

If she really has a ghost on her body,

there must be an answer.

Then figure it out as soon as possible.

Let's go.

What did you see?

Master,

it's Sulian.

What's meant to come

can never be avoided.

Okay, take it.

[Offering]

Take this wreath

over there.

Masters, let's hurry up.

Okay.

The stage will be set up soon.

Let's hurry up here.

Stop looking

and quickly bring the boxes over.

This way.

Come on, put it here.

Ms. Tao,

secure it tightly.

Be careful.

Just give it to me.

May the immortal bless me.

Is this one okay?

Yes.

Left side. -Tightened.

Is everything in place?

That one.

Okay.

[Offering]

Be careful.

Watch the top,

don't damage the props.

Ms. Tao!

What's wrong?

Why did the Drama God crack?

How did it crack?

I don't know.

Put that down first.

Over there.

Left.

Yes.

Just put it there.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

We'll be in trouble.

Mr. Zhang.

What did he say?

Someone!

Hold it.

The Drama God doesn't help us.

Be careful.

You scared me.

Yeah.

Why isn't it sturdy enough?

It wasn't properly secured.

It was indeed secured.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang.

Please come in.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Yes.

Fusheng...

It's done.

Be careful with the repairs.

Stop singing.

Everything has been smashed.

Yes.

Quick, a few people come over.

Come on.

Give me a hand to lift it up.

Come on.

Be careful.

Be careful.

I'm not afraid of you.

Madam.

Sulian.

It must be that witch.

Let go of me!

Guards!

Take Madam back.

I'm not afraid of her.

She's shocked/traumatized.

Sister Tao.

Slow down.

Sister Tao, why did you go up again?

Yeah, is the stage sturdy enough?

Put it over there.

Play the music!

Strike!

Okay. Come on.

Watch out.

Mr. Zhao didn't allow singing,

but she's still up there singing.

What's going on here?

Ms. Tao, you shouldn't sing today.

Ms. Tao,

stop singing, Ms. Tao.

The stage isn't sturdy.

Come down, Ms. Tao.

It's dangerous.

It's Sulian.

I saw her.

Sulian.

That witch.

Where is she?

What?

Really?

Sulian.

Witch!

I'm not afraid of you.

[Ten years ago]

You're here.

Come in.

[Today's Sister Tao Special]

Please come in.

Mr. Tao. Mr. Tao.

Please come in.

Everyone,

please come in.

Okay.

If a man

has been away for too long,

it's hard for him to come back.

Besides,

he has become an officer outside, so he might not want you anymore.

Just give up on him.

Then I'll leave here too.

I'm going to find him.

It seems I can't convince you.

Then I'll wait until you earn enough money for your redemption

to pay me back.

Ms. Tao.

You're all here.

Ms. Tao.

Ms. Tao.

Ms. Tao, your singing is really beautiful.

Yes, you're talented.

Wonderful.

Absolutely stunning.

Thanks to all of you for your support.

Ms. Tao, have one cigarette.

Thank you.

Have a seat.

Very good. -Ms. Tao sang so well.

Yes.

- It's so beautiful. - Such elegance and charm.

It's so beautiful.

Yes.

Miss Sulian.

Let me help you.

Here, light it up.

Miss Sulian has such elegance.

Look how beautiful she is.

Absolutely stunning.

I will redeem myself.

Miss Sulian.

Then I'll take my leave.

Mr. Tian,

the car is ready, I'll escort you.

Come, this way for you.

Wait for me.

Ghost!

Ghost!

Over there.

Ghost! Ghost!

Where is the ghost?

Ms. Tao.

[Offering]

Watch out!

Madam.

Why are you out again?

Ghost.

Ghost!

Ghost!

She's gone mad, and you're following suit.

Why did it crack?

Why did it crack?

Why did it crack?

Master,

what about

the Tian family and Sulian...

Did you see something

in the Tian family?

No.

No.

Perhaps my mind is too chaotic.

I really don't know what to say.

I think

what I saw is not true.

That girl came to see me

last night.

When?

After you went to bed.

She came to ask about Tian family.

Tian He is dead,

so she must have wanted some answers.

She's not familiar with the rules

that the living should not meddle in the affairs of the dead.

You have to understand.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Go ahead and ask.

It's weird.

Hurry up.

Why did it suddenly stop?

We can't move.

What's wrong with the carriage up front?

Can your carriage move?

No. The horse isn't cooperating.

Leader, where is Ms. Tao?

She's still inside.

Come on.

Try again. Come on.

Giddy up!

Master,

aren't they going to perform at the Tian family today?

Why are they going back?

They'll be in trouble.

Let's go.

Sihan.

Master.

Has Li Yuanbao's invitation been delivered?

Yes.

The funeral is about to start.

What if he doesn't come?

Sihan,

you can see some things,

can't you?

I can see too.

Tonight,

something will come to steal Tian He's body.

Madam has consulted a divine spirit.

But the spirit said

the situation is beyond his abilities, so he dared not intervene.

I want to ask Mr. Zhang

to help take a look.

Sihan.

My master said

the living should not meddle in the affairs of the dead.

If even those divine spirits can't help,

what else can we do?

Step aside.

Sihan!

Sihan.

Fusheng,

how can we turn away a visitor

at the door?

But Master,

didn't you say she also carries a ghost on her body?

That day,

I shouldn't have lied to Captain Zhao.

Both of you carry

not ghosts,

but resentment.

But why did I receive a wedding invitation

when Tian He tragically died?

The wedding invitation was sent by me.

I originally intended to invite you to our wedding,

but I heard that

Tian He had an accident because of you.

Master.

Fusheng,

go close the door.

Your father said that

he didn't want too many people

involved in this matter that day.

My father and I

have different opinions.

Girl,

tell me,

why?

Privately,

I want justice for my deceased husband.

Publicly,

as the daughter of the Yunwu Town security captain,

I need to know the truth.

Master,

I also want to know the truth.

Take the side door.

Remember,

never eat or drink anything

at the Tian family.

Close the door.

[Offering]

If there are many people,

I'm afraid those dirty things will take advantage of it.

Fusheng,

you guard the front yard,

Sihan, you guard the backyard.

I will guard the memorial hall.

At midnight,

light the candles in your hands.

If the candlelight gradually dims,

sprinkle some glutinous rice on the ground.

Guard your mind

until dawn, and you will be safe.

If the candle extinguishes midway,

remember

to run

as far as you can,

and leave the rest to me.

Whatever you hear

or see along the way,

never look back.

Remember.

Fusheng.

[Three months ago]

This time I didn't come to see you,

I came for Sulian.

Sulian was forced to death

by many people in our shop.

Tian He,

what has happened

in Yunwu Town over the years?

If something happens to me,

I need you to help me send this out.

Ghosts have six fingers.

Sihan.

Open the door.

Sihan!

Sihan.

Fusheng.

Sihan.

Master Tian.

Master is dead!

What happened?

Master is dead!

It has nothing to do with me.

It wasn't me.

Don't kill me.

It wasn't me!

Ghost!

[The Tomb of Li Yuanbao]

[The Tomb of Li Yuanbao]

Sihan.

Sihan.

Sihan.

Fusheng.

Catch.

[Acupuncture Classics]

Master.

You are still practicing this skill.

I haven't dabbled in these things for too long.

My hands are out of practice.

Sihan.

Where is Tian He?

Tian He?

That's not Tian He,

it's Li Yuanbao.

Then where's Tian He's body?

It's gone.

Master Tian

is also dead.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the Tian family.

Sihan.

Master,

it can't really be her, can it?

Sulian is back.

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang,

please save Ms. Tao.

What's happened?

When we all got up this morning to practice singing,

she was gone.

We don't know where she went.

We searched for her for half a day and couldn't find her.

Then we found a letter she left us,

with some strange words written on it.

What did it say?

It seems like

she's embarked on a journey to the underworld,

and that returning...

Returning means not surviving.

The sacrifice of the living.

[Offering]

Coming.

Have you made up your mind?

Conducting a funeral ritual for the living is to deceive the ghosts.

You're no longer in the mortal world,

violating the rules of the underworld

will shorten your lifespan.

Let it be shortened then.

It's better than

living a miserable life.

Souls weep as they enter the underworld,

bodies decay and vanish in the mortal world.

Rise.

Remember,

don't open your eyes.

Once you've deceived it,

it won't come again.

Sulian,

I'm sorry.

[Tingtao Garden]

[Ten years ago]

[Tingtao Garden]

I've gathered enough money,

once I've packed up, I'll leave.

Miss Sulian,

Master Tian asked me to tell you that

he'll still support you tomorrow

and he'll have tea with you.

Got it.

[Silver coins-1000 yuan]

Ms. Tao,

do you still sing?

Master Tian, how dare you!

Sing.

Why don't I sing?

Start.

Do I look good?

Yes.

You're so beautiful.

How does it compare to Sulian?

She's too beautiful.

I'm not worthy of her.

I have a way

that can

make your wish come true.

What are you doing?

Come on, my baby.

Get off me!

Get off me!

You've had sexual relations with so many people.

- Get off me! - Let me have a turn.

I told you.

I'll sleep with anyone

who has news about him.

I have news about him.

He joined the army.

And then?

Tell me.

Tell me!

Tell me!

He's dead.

No, that can't be.

[Memorial]

Everything was mine.

Why are you fighting with me?

I heard that you're going to marry Master Tian.

Is this the condition

to redeem you?

So what?

Do you also want to marry Master Tian?

Of course.

Sulian, you know me.

I...

I just need to find a sugar daddy and retire.

But you are different.

You have so many men who love you and want you.

Why?

Why do you have to steal an old man from me?

Do I still need your approval

to marry someone?

The present me

is the person you'll be in the future.

Do you think

you'll always be riding high?

Those men are just toying with you

and bullying you.

When they have had enough fun,

they'll abandon you without hesitation.

I agreed to marry Master Tian

because I need a qualification

to be buried in the ancestral hall in Yunwu Town.

When my husband's body comes back,

we can be buried together.

You and I

are different.

We're both lowlifes.

You have no right to look down on me.

It wasn't me.

I didn't mean to kill you.

This...

[Three months ago]

Let's exchange stories.

Okay.

When Sulian first came to this town,

Fusheng and I were only 11 years old.

We didn't know what it felt like.

All we knew was that there were many men in town following her

when we followed her all the way.

But,

when they saw Sulian,

some of them

would get a hard-on for her.

If I succeed, I'll come back to marry you.

Later,

her boyfriend left the town

and never came back.

The townspeople said

he died on the battlefield.

But after his death,

Sulian became a target for everyone.

Until one day,

she was raped by a bastard named Li Yuanbao.

A rumor spread in the town

that Sulian was a slut

and she was disloyal.

Sulian wandered to the Fortune Inn, a place even ghosts dared not go.

Paper Zhang took her in.

But since then,

this place that even ghosts dared not go

became the place men in town longed for.

[Mr. Xuankui]

Those men knew Sulian was waiting for her boyfriend.

So they tried everything to coax her

and bully her.

From then on, Sulian changed.

She welcomed everyone

and became a woman everyone called a slut.

What are you looking at?

Maybe it's only me who thought

[Fulu Inn]

She's doing it for her sake.

Did you get the letter?

She hoped to wait for her man.

Even if there's no news about him.

No.

[Fulu Inn]

She tried to escape from this town,

but the town's elites bribed the authorities

and brought her back

because they feared the scandal being exposed.

They want to confine this beautiful woman

in this place forever.

We didn't understand at that time.

It's the men who are so horny.

Why did they pin everything

on Ms. Sulian?

Those women couldn't control their men.

Their men all wanted to sleep with Sulian.

Fusheng couldn't stand his own helplessness

and left the town.

And I

wanted to grow up

and protect her.

I'll tell my father

I want to marry her.

But I didn't expect

it was my dad

who rushed to marry her.

Why?

Why did you marry my father as a concubine?

Why?

Promise me.

If I can never leave here,

after I die,

bury him with me.

Since I met Ms. Sulian,

I've seen ten years of human ugliness.

They want to destroy the most beautiful thing.

But I don't understand

why

she can't even walk out.

If we let her out,

many people in this town are guilty.

If she wants to leave,

there's only a dead end.

[Listen to the Peach Garden]

[A year ago]

I know what you want.

Just sing.

Take back what you've lost.

Get some good luck.

And have more children and grandchildren.

They met with those in town

who bullied and couldn't stand Sulian.

Master Zhao.

Under the guise of marrying Sulian into the Tian family,

they organized a murderous scheme.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Happiness]

[Happiness]

Let's go.

Where are you taking me?

Bad omen.

Shameless bitch!

Bitch!

Why don't you go to hell?

You bitch!

Seduced my man!

You bitch!

Bitch!

You should've died long ago.

Understand?

Jump!

Shameless!

Jump!

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Jinx!

Burn her to death! You seduced men!

Burn her to death!

Go to hell!

What should I do?

I didn't do it.

Later,

your father found my father.

They were discussing

how to cover this up

and even agreed to our marriage.

The officials and merchants colluded.

Actually, Sulian has thought about dying,

but she didn't expect she'd die so miserably.

In fact,

I don't want to marry you.

My love

has already given to Sulian.

So when Tian He went to the city that day,

it wasn't for me.

He found the military number of Sulian's man

and wanted to submit a petition to them.

Sihan,

have you heard of ghost with six fingers?

Tian He said

that ghost he dreamt of that day

had six fingers.

Yesterday when I swam to look for you,

I saw Li Yuanbao's body under the water.

He had six fingers.

Tian He wasn't dreaming,

and there wasn't anything dirty.

That shadow...

was Li Yuanbao.

He followed Tian He

to steal his petition.

They were afraid

that Yunwu Town would uncover the truth.

So,

they knew Tian He wanted to expose the truth.

They had to kill him

to keep the secret.

A wrong has a source.

I think it's best for Master Tian

to handle his son's business.

If he can control his son,

would Tian He still sue?

You've pushed things this far.

If the higher-ups investigate,

the whole Yunwu Town

will be exposed.

Everyone will die.

No one can escape.

Lately,

rumor has it that

the doll bride is seeking revenge.

Then why didn't she

go to the Tian family?

So you insisted on going to Tian He's house

to seek justice for Tian He.

And to find the truth.

Have you found the truth?

On Tian He's wedding night,

he took arsenic and hallucinogens.

It was Li Yuanbao who bribed the servants to poison him.

Besides,

the Tian household's water and food were also spiked with hallucinogens.

When they knew the truth

might be exposed,

they even had that damn Li Yuanbao

to dig Tian He's grave.

They stole his body

and destroy the evidence.

The funeral will be held when everyone is here.

Master Tian also knew the truth.

He wanted to kill them

at the funeral

to avenge his son.

Has Li Yuanbao received the invitation?

It's been delivered.

If Master Tian only wants Li Yuanbao to die,

who would want him to die too?

What about those in town who died?

Only Sulian...

Is there really a ghost?

You're only half right.

Master Tian, of course,

wants them dead.

But he only buried gunpowder in the yard.

He isn't the only one

who wants these people to pay with their lives.

Someone else

did the poisioning.

I don't believe there are ghosts in this world.

Only people want us to believe it.

Su Lian is dead.

The poisoner was someone who wanted to avenge her death.

This person

drugged Tian family's water and food.

Ms. Tao, Li Yuanbao,

and those in town who've bullied Sulian

all died from hallucinations.

And I

found the formula for drugs

in your shop.

[Energy Powder]

Maybe you don't remember,

but there was a secret room

filled with

paper dolls

of those in town who bullied Sulian.

Someone has paved the way for their deaths,

right?

It's me.

I drugged him.

Wait a second.

Master.

Brat.

I taught you everything.

You want to take the blame for me?

Master.

I picked you up and raised you.

Don't you think I,

as your master,

wouldn't know what's on your mind?

Back then,

when I took in Sulian,

I thought

I did it out of kindness

and sympathy.

But later,

when I saw those people bullying her

and humiliating her,

hatred grew

in my heart.

I hate those men.

Come here.

Why were they acting like beasts?

I hate Sulian.

Why did she just take things lying down?

If you don't believe me, ask her.

Why didn't her fight back?

I hate...

I hate

why she looks so beautiful.

Until one day,

the women in town

wanted to burn her to death.

At first,

I wanted to save her that day.

I thought

if she died,

maybe I can fulfill her wish

to meet the person she wants to see.

Master,

those dolls in the storeroom

are they real or not?

Did I really see them?

You're right.

Those paper dolls

are hidden in the coffin of your yard.

And in the water tank where Mrs. Tian drowned,

there are symbols drawn by you.

Master Zhang,

you've long wanted them to die,

right?

Silly boy.

Sometimes,

your memory is vague

and your thoughts are unclear.

That's because

I drugged you with hallucinogens.

I did it because there are many things

I don't want you to remember.

Tian He told everyone you're dead

because he wanted to protect you.

Sulian's matter

involves too many people.

It's time to end this.

Captain Wang.

Master. Master.

Fusheng.

Fusheng.

Silly boy.

The happiest thing

in my life

is to have such a good disciple like you.

Remember what I said.

Live well.

In Yunwu Town,

it's fortunate

to have young people like you.

Master.

Master.

[File Folder]

Dad.

Tell me.

How you and Tian He

formed the alliance to kill me.

If we sue,

we'll lose our father.

If we don't sue,

we'll lose our clans.

Crimes committed by family cannot go unpunished.

Crimes committed by many cannot go uncharged.

And crimes

committed by one generation's ignorance

cannot burden this town

with infamy for generations to come.

Sihan,

you're brave.

Thank you.

I know what to do now.

I've done evil too.

Will you forgive me?

Then face it.

Only you can save yourself.

Dad,

face it.

I'll wait for you to be released.

Sihan.

I'm sorry.

Take him away.

Let's go.

[Lincheng Police Station]

I have one last question.

Master Tian is dead.

I'm afraid Sulian and Tian He's bodies

may never be found.
