04x06 - Testing the Waters

[bunniefuu]

You asked me to come,

yet no one to greet me.

I didn't realize

you still cared so much about formalities.

It's late, you know.

It wasn't just to tease me, right?

How would I dare?

I've prepared a small gift
for you, my key client.

I had someone retrieve the Bahati fire
evidence from the police warehouse.

Don’t be so hasty.

You can’t take this away.

I have to return it later.

If I can’t have it,

how can it be called a gift?

You can't have it,

but you'll definitely be interested
in the information on it.

I was afraid you wouldn’t trust me,

so I brought it here to
read it to you personally.

Code name...

A Yuan.

With so little information left,

I’ve been looking for you for three years.

How did you escape from that fire?

How did you get to Myanlao from Bridon?

What exactly is your connection to Bahati?

I…

I really can’t remember anything.

Alright,

don’t be so nervous.

I believe you.

But there’s one thing

I care about even more.

Since your information was registered,

there must have been a register,

which recorded

the potential unicorns we're seeking.

We found a lead on the register,

we but waited

for two key figures

to lure them out.

I played house with them

and even put on a pitiful act of
being weak against a strong foe.

But I never expected

she also possesses superpower!

Thanks to her,

I felt the pain of death ahead of time!

Thinking back,

that woman and her ability…

I feel like I saw them
somewhere a long time ago…

Then how will you repay me

for saving you from the morgue?

You owe me a favor. Let's call it even.

Then shall we discuss a new deal now?

Let’s go.

We still have much to do.

Who is it?

I just moved in. Who will visit me?

Wrong door?

It’s me.

Lu Guang?!

Qiao Ling has a full set of
coffee machines in here.

A bit old but still work.

Just wait

let me show you what the
King of Odd Jobs can do.

By the way,

when exactly did you go to Bridon?

Me?

Right after high school.

You knew that, didn’t you?

You stayed in the country
all the time before that?

Believe it or not,

I forgot most of my childhood memories,

only having some impressions
from junior high school.

Didn’t you ask your parents?

Adoptive parents.

They know nothing before they adopted me.

Not even a single photo.

They only told me that I was
adopted from a church in Bridon.

The location, the name...

They refused to say.

Felix

leave this place

and forget everything that happened.

That's better for you.

You deserve a new life.

So right after high school,

I asked them if I could
study abroad in Bridon,

because I hoped

I might reconnect with
my old memories there.

And that’s how

I got to meet you guys!

Here, check my latte art.

Where did you get that old photo
you entrusted Qiao Ling with?

That's even more incredible.

Back then, I had just arrived in Myanlao,

only to realize I was in a trap...

Hey!

Hey!

Give me back my phone!!!

You'll have a chance to
send a message of safety.

This is a crime!

ill*gal imprisonment!

Let me out!

Open the door!!

Damn it,

JACK screwed me over again.

Were you captured by them too?

Is there any way to get in
touch with the outside?

You...

What? What are you doing?!

Is this me?!

Why do you have this photo?

Did we know each other?

But…

I can't recall at all.

He seemed to have a speech disorder.

He mumbled and couldn't speak clearly.

So

I really want to find out more
about my childhood from that photo.

Why did he lose his childhood
memories like Cheng Xiaoshi?

Who's the boy that shared the room
with him and gave him the photo?

And

the church Xia Fei mentioned…

By the way,

do you know someone named Li Tianchen?

Li Tianchen?

No,

I’ve never heard that name before.

Pink hair,

short stature with a fierce look.

He likes cross-dressing.

Cool.

I’d definitely remember if I’d met him,

but…

I really can’t recall.

That doesn’t explain.

Back in the private room,

Li Tianchen clearly stepped
in to help on purpose.

I could clearly see a sense
of familiarity in his eyes.

Could it be...

he’s lying?

Lu Guang

why not take a sip?

Don’t be scared.

No poison in it.

Have you seen Vein since then?

Are you asking this on purpose?

You know

he's dead!

He was really nice to me.

Please don't joke about him!

Sorry for the nonsense.

I wasn't fully awake.

Are the coffee beans expired?

The coffee tastes a bit sour.

I found them in the cabinet.

Oh,

may I ask you something in private

can Qiao Ling really see
what happened in a photo?

Does she have superpowers or magic?

Still hung up on the superpower thing?

It doesn't exist.

She just knows how to set up
formations and perform divination.

When is she going to do it?

Mind if I watch?

Forget it.

She doesn't even let
Cheng Xiaoshi or me watch.

I’ll beg her later!

Who is this V-something-N
you're looking for?

Vein was the head of the biggest chamber
of commerce in Bridon's Chinatown,

but he died.

Died?

You came all this way
looking for a dead man?

He's dead according to the
autopsy report back then.

But there are rumors someone saw him.

Including the case in Myanlao.

I heard the witness's description myself,

Red hair

it has to be him.

Freaky…

could you be mistaken?

I tracked him for many years.

He had countless legendary experiences.

We even suspected he might
have some superpower.

Superpower?

I’m not joking this time.

The Bridon police had a
secret force a long time ago,

specialized in investigating
cases related to superpower users.

But it was disbanded a few
years ago due to a fire.

Related cases have emerged
in the past two years,

so they brought me back

to reactivate the force.

Captain Xiao,

we’re here.

Sorry

to bother you so early in the morning.

A gossipy mind under the poker face!

Oh,

one more thing. Please tell Qiao Ling.

If she sees something like
a register in the photo,

please inform me.

A register?

You're just a discarded dog now,

and the only thing that can save you

is still in my hands.

I should have taken you out first!

Give me the register!

The church might keep adoption records.

Maybe there's something
about my birth parents.

OK,

I’ll tell her.

Captain Xiao,

look.

It should be him.

Just as described,

an arrogant redhead.

Hey, Lu Guang,

what’s up?

Qiao Ling told me

you’re looking for a man with red hair?

Yeah,

we just found him.

Moreover,

guess who else we found?

Li Tianchen!

No idea why they’re together.

Is that man named Vein?

Exactly.

How did you know?

He’s not dead?!

Nope.

I’m looking at his newly taken
entry photo at customs right now.

Alive and kicking.

What’s going on…

Hey, Lu Guang,

what did you say?

Why is he still alive?

It's supposed to be an unchangeable node.

We should be able to avoid that ending.

Xia Fei confirmed his death too.

Why...

Why did Lu Guang hang up on me suddenly?

Lu Guang? The quiet guy who was
giving me hostile looks last night?

He’s always like that.

Not against you.

So he’s an ice prince.

I find all of them

intriguing.

Including that girl.

This is the studio you’re auditioning at?

Isn't it just a big warehouse?

Well,

such a place is preferred
for sh**ting commercials.

Easy to build sets and cheap.

Thanks for coming with me
for the audition, Qiao Ling.

I’m unemployed,

so I need my landlady to be my guarantor.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you.

But is this job legitimate?

Renting a factory and needing a guarantor…

I got this gig thanks to a connection.

Cheng Xiaoshi!

Wait, who did he just call?

I forgot to mention.

I needed real-name
verification to sign up,

so I borrowed his phone number.

Sleeping with a phone on
your face in broad daylight.

Creative.

Can you say something nice for once?

My face is squashed flat.

How did it go?

Did you ask Xia Fei about the photo?

He said he was adopted from a church.

But the said church in the photo

is most likely the Bahati Language School.

So

you’d better be ready to face him again.

Relax,

I won’t do anything stupid…

Xiaoshi,

promise me you will stay
out of this matter.

One day,

your Dad and I will return to you.

Are you ready or not?!

Coming, coming!

Slowpoke.

You look awesome!

Stop laughing at me, Qiao Ling.

Do you know how much this
game commercial pays?

Judging by the gear, this game
must cost a fortune to top up.

Why are you still laughing?

Why aren't you in costume?

Me?

Sorry,

I forgot to tell you.

It needs one guy and one girl.

You...

How could one person
work for a paired scene?

I…

So that’s the scene.

You scared me.

What else did you think it was?

Beating up Cheng Xiaoshi!

I’m great at that!

Dude, don’t attack me!

You asked for it.

Don’t blame me!

Director,

what do you think?

The guy is OK,

but the girl is terrible.

I think she’s pretty good.

Who’s talking out of turn?

Who’s the director here?!

It’s Mr. Liu!

You're right.

What great taste you have!

Who’s that guy?

The connection I told you.

Whatever,

I’ll do as you say!

Bring it on!

Ready.

Go!

Is this Vein when he was young?

Doesn’t look like a head of
a chamber in this outfit.

Who's the head?

Mom, wait up!

Me!

In the future, I'll be the
big boss of this Chinatown,

The coolest guy around!

Really?

Can you watch my back then?

Sure!

I'll have a lot of guys,

but you'll be my special one!

Idiot.

We agreed you’d listen to me.

Why are you spouting nonsense?

Isn’t this how their
relationship goes later?

I’m following the script.

Looks like they're holding a Spring
Festival event in Chinatown.

Pretty festive.

A lot of guys…

a g*ng?

Felix

what are you talking about?

There are no gangs here.

Here!

Teacher Cheng taught me how to make this!

I'll give it to you,

my future boss!

Vein

since when have you been a boss?

Cheng Xiaoshi,

do exactly as I say.

The fate has forced itself
back onto its original path.

Then,

while I still have
control over everything...
