-Is that him? -Yes.
Where do you think you're going?
You scam me. Then you fuck my wife!
-Religious scammer. -Let's get outta here.
Shen-Lung Crown Prince, you're dying.
I can save you. But you must pay the price.
Just take my hand,
and you can change your fate.
AGENT FROM ABOVE
SOUL HARVEST
DONGFENG MARKET
Everyone, time to eat!
Thank you so much.
-What a feast! Oh, so good. -Oh my God.
That's delicious!
Eat to your heart's content.
Welcome, everyone.
Please enjoy, and let me know if you'd like me to make you anything.
Oh, help yourself. There's enough for everyone.
-Please, help yourself. Try some of these. -C cup?
Eat slowly.
This is so good!
-Uh, hi, I'm Mei-na. Nice to meet you. -Hello, I'm Wang Hsiao-ming.
Would you marry a ghost ever?
Hsiao-ming.
What's up?
Take your pick.
All this for me?
That's so nice of you.
So ugly. Wear a suit like a gentleman.
Well, he just looks like a nerd. Ha!
You should be more encouraging to Hsiao Ming.
Come on, let's try them on.
Together?
-Together? -What do you mean together?
-Not gentlemanly. -Why don't you come with us?
Han, did you meet Miss Cheng yet? She moved in recently.
I saw her daughter. I think she's deaf.
She's had quite a hard life, it seems.
It's okay. Invite her to my restaurant when you're free.
Han.
You should say hello to her. Huh?
Ta-da!
Oh!
-Oh gosh, dear. It's ancient. -So old-fashioned.
You look like an old man. Old man Wang!
You look dashing, young man! Very classy.
They're all getting along.
Ms. Lo's good for the old man.
Did their families die in that fire too?
Mmm.
Ms. Lo's younger brother and the old man's son and grandson,
they all want their families around them.
That's why I'm helping.
I never knew why Ms. Lo's younger brother never reconciled.
I hope soon she can move on.
You know, even though you frown a lot, underneath, you're really a good guy.
You're never at home, always here. You take medicines?
Of course.
Hey. Smile!
What?
MESSAGE FROM CHANG MIN
Gangsters from Heilung Hall were massacred last night.
The way they were killed was very strange. I need your help.
SAFETY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
She's had quite a hard life, it seems.
You should say hello to her. Huh?
I'm Han.
I live next door.
You're the agent from above Ms. Lo mentioned, right?
Everyone's at a gathering on the rooftop. Ms. Lo hoped you'd bring your daughter.
Oh. Yuan-yuan is deaf and mute. I don't want to trouble everyone.
Yes, I saw her.
She's very lively.
She likes drawing.
I'll leave you be.
Um… Master Han.
I've been very sick for years, and my daughter needs your help.
I don't do that.
I'm just an ordinary person.
I'm sorry.

CHANG MIN CALLING
I was calling you.
You never have good news.
Hey.
Look. Hmm.
Vasavatti?
Heilung Hall. Eleven people died, all very strange.
That's Chi-sha.
We can't rule out that this was a paid hit.
They had many enemies.
He doesn't kill for money.
This is the work of Vasavatti.
This is no gangster fight.
WUMENG OCCULTIST COLLUDES WITH GANGSTERS
It's what I expect from my agent from above. Naturally rebellious.
There's a gangster at the temple.
I'll ask him. Maybe he'll know something.
Her… Here through here.
-A-Fu. -Have a seat.
You must be rich now.
-Huh? -This big temple.
Have you returned to your old ways?
Oh, no. No way. I'm not like that. Hey, Han.
Hey.
I don't scam people with fake lottery numbers anymore.
At this temple, after the management fees,
I donate everything we make from offerings to charity.
I feed the homeless.
And do beach cleanups.
Look, I'll show you the accounts--
Forget it.
I'm not here for that.
Have you looked into what I asked of you?
Well, I have heard back from a friend,
that Heilung Hall has won
a government construction project worth over 100 million.
Apparently Kuan-fu and Heilung Hall had a deal.
Heilung Hall subcontracted the work to Kuan-fu.
Later on, I don't know if they had a fight,
but Heilung Hall took all the money.
Yeah, well, we've always known those two didn't get along,
and we thought something bad might happen.
I just didn't expect that Kuan-fu would be so ruthless.
Huh?
Of course he is.
He set fire to our family temple back then.
He wanted my family's land.
His people forced me into drug addiction,
so I'd owe him a big debt.
FENGYUAN TEMPLE
He said if I put up the title to the temple as collateral,
I could pay him back slowly.
LAND OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE
Kneel!
Try explaining this to the Crown Prince.
The construction company claims that the temple's land is theirs.
-Enough! -What have you done, you unfilial son?
Please. Please! Stop!
What did we ever do to deserve a son like you?
My father would not give in.
But Kuan-Fu burned the temple to the ground.
How did this happen?
-Is anyone still in there? -All my stuff is gone.
It's an inferno in there. How did it start so quick?
Where did it come from? Hey. Hey!
-Hey, calm down. -Wait. Don't go!
In the end, my mother and father died in that fire.
To this day, they're in hell, suffering because of what I did.
I kill evil spirits.
If that person is truly evil,
then I'm not committing a violation, am I?
I get how you must feel.
The Crown Prince knows what happened to you,
so he wants to give you a second chance.
Hey, you better not waste it.
You assume a lot.
Hmm?
You don't get it? Hey.
It's like in Marvel.
Imagine Iron Man just killing anyone.
Iron Man became a hero after changing his ways.
You're also a superhero.
Hey! With great power comes great responsibility.
If you just kill anyone, then you're no different from Kuan-fu.
If I'm a superhero,
what does that make you?
Well…
I'm him.
Truck driver?
Not a truck driver. I'm Doctor Strange.
Get it now? Doctor Strange.
Get it? You get it?
I mean, I look just like him. Hey, wait for me.
Boss.
Boss, why did Chi-sha ask us to come out here,
in the middle of nowhere?
Mr. Liu.
Uh… the money's all here.
I'd do this even if you didn't pay me.
Heilung Hall members are perfect prey for testing my malicious spirits.
And they died so tragically.
The money's all there.
From now on, we have no more business.
So now you want to dispense with me, do you?
But when you guys approached me,
you said you admired me.
-Don't contact me again. -Boss.
-Give it, give it! Just give it to him! -Boss! Here.
You came.
So, it's settled then.
I'm old. My skills are fading.
You're too modest.
Those who are chosen by Vasavatti aren't ordinary people.
Heilung Hall is now terrified after your little performance.
Hmm?
I was working with Vasavatti for revenge.
Gangsters killed my family.
They don't deserve to live.
But this is different.
You and Vasavatti are colluding to control me, to force me to kill.
I know that I cannot be saved.
But I've never killed anyone innocent.
As an evil person myself, I know that evil comes in different forms.
So you and I, we're different.
So what next?
What else do you want me to do?
CHIANG HUA-CHIH
Based on your daughter's horoscope,
your illness and her condition are intertwined.
Please. Can we change our fate?
A person's fate is…
set in stone.
However, you may eliminate karmic aura.
Really?
I'll do anything.
You're wasting your talent.
Indulging in these religious scams.
If you work for me,
I'll give you everything you ever dreamed of.
What should I do?
Have you brought your daughter?
Yes, Master.
I have.
I didn't tell you last time, but…
your house always had an ominous aura.
It's likely someone's creating negative karma.
When was your daughter born?
In 2009, March 17.
LUNAR FEBRUARY 21ST, YEAR OF THE OX
That was the Year of the Ox.
I'm gathering malicious spirits refined from vital spirits.
Find me people with these birth details.
LUNAR FEBRUARY 21ST, YEAR OF THE OX
And kill them.
I see now your daughter is responsible for this karma.
Your fates clash.
She with you, and you with her.
This is why she's mute, and you've been unwell.
But it can't be due to my daughter.
I'm certain of her aura.
Then what should I do?
Go outside. Leave her here.
-Go outside. -Wait.
-Go! Now! -Master, wait. What are you going to do?
-Go out. -Yuan-yuan, come here.
-Get out! Go! -Come here! Get off her! Yuan-yuan!
Mr. Han? Here's the lighter.
SHEN-LUNG CROWN PRINCE HARMS PEOPLE
-There it is again. -What?
Shen-Lung Crown Prince has appeared three times this month.
This one warned about scams,
and the second one about him being bewitched.
You didn't pay much attention to this, and now things are worse.
I'm to blame?
I have a ton of work still to do.
There's only one of me.
There are so many religious scammers. I can't capture them all.
And now there's this Demon King invasion.
Why must I bother with that trivial stuff?
Fuck.
Mr. Han? Where are you going?
Yuan?
Mr. Han.
What's she…
Who was it?
Who did this to you?
Where's your mom?
I'm going down to hell. Help me.
How?
I've done this before.
I used the pogs to make myself unconscious.
Three minutes after I pass out, play this.
Then shock me with this.
I'm counting on you.
WEST
Ms. Chiang.
What happened?
I can't find her.
I can't find my daughter anywhere. She died before me.
I can't find her.
Where's her spirit?
I don't know.
She can't be here without her spirit.
Who did this?
Shen-Lung.
Open the door! Yuan-yuan! Yuan-yuan!
Open the door! Please, Master.
Yuan-yuan!
I got my daughter killed.
I got myself killed.
-Where is he? -He's in the temple.
WEST
Time's up.
-Where are you going? -To deal with that garbage.
How? What will you do?
-Are you still alive? -Strictly speaking, I'm dead.
Who exactly really?
I serve the Third Crown Prince.
Why did you shock me so hard?
You didn't tell me how high the setting should be.
My clothes.
And the lotus. There's lotus in the fridge.
Tell Chang Min there'll be a murder in Shen-Lung Temple.
And you?
I'm settling a score.
QIANKUN HOOP
SHEN-LUNG TEMPLE
Go!
The Third Crown Prince's agent. I'm humbled.
I'll give you a chance.
Give me the girl's spirit, and I'll spare you.
The Third Crown Prince is a brat.
I see that's passed on to you.
Okay. I won't only beat you to a pulp,
you'll lose bladder control.
Third Crown Prince, huh?
This is all he's got?
Tell the old fool to come collect your corpse.
You're very arrogant, aren't you? Shouting at me like that.
You can't beat a scammer? Even a simple task like that--
You think I want this?
-Where are the pogs I gave you? -I've used them all.
Didn't you see?
The pogs you gave me, they're like toys to him.
You're always complaining, aren't you?
I don't smoke, I don't drink.
It's dirty work. Can't I have any fun at all?
I told you, you mustn't smoke or drink.
Yet you used the loop to light your cigarette.
Have you forgotten?
The tools I give you cause you pain after their use.
Do I look scared?
I'll give you one more.
I told you, it's useless on him.
I've especially blessed this one.
Are you quite finished?
My turn now.
We've been looking for the scammer,
but never been able to pin anything on him.
This is the end of his reign of terror.
Lucky the Crown Prince alerted you when he did.
I should have noticed.
