The Outcast (异人之下)

(Following the death, or perhaps disappearance, of several legendary figures,)

Bunch of

jerks!

They look down on me.

They deny me swills of alcohol.

But I have my own alcohol anyway.

And one day,

I...

I...

I'll leave this

shitty place.

Tie.

Don't mind if I do.

A man needs his rest.

Get up.

Let's drink.

Goodness gracious. I'm never drinking again!

We got the body.

Let's go.

[This is a work of fiction. Any reference to existing entities is mere coincidence.]

[All actions and abilities performed are fictional and should not be imitated.]

This doesn't make sense.

There are no grave goods

in this forsaken place.

These few ones

are lucky.

That one had it worse.

Just take a look.

Even the body is gone.

I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.

Look.

What kind of grave robbers

took the body too?

It's an old body.

How old is it again?

And whose grave is it?

Zhang Xilin.

Fellow students,

allow me

to introduce

the pride

of this university.

In his first year here,

he led our gymnastics team

to a group gold medal

and a solo gold medal

in the National Student Sports Day.

In his second year here,

he quit the gymnastics team

and became a researcher.

Chulan.

Are you nervous?

No.

Have you been through this before?

I have faith in you.

Go.

Now, let's welcome

our stellar alumni

to the stage.

Who is this guy?

What the...?

Where's Wu?

Where is Mr. Wu?

Where is Mr. Wu?

Bring Wu here.

[Zhang Chulan, Mr. Nobody, Patience: 98%]

Ladies and gentlemen,

how are you?

Good!

Hello?

The Village Director?

Who?

Someone stole my grandfather's body?

No, you.

Crazy caller.

Sir.

What happened here?

If I had the answer,

I wouldn't

have summoned you here.

Chulan.

You're the only family of your grandfather.

Now that his body was stolen,

I need you

to tell us how to proceed.

Don't worry about it.

I will

find my grandfather's body.

Your grandfather?

My grandfather is Zhang Xilin.

I am his granddaughter.

My name is Zhang Baobao.

I'm your sister.

We finally met.

You're crazy.

I don't have a sister.

Zhang Xilin is my grandfather.

Zhang Yude is my father.

The Zhangs moved

to this village

14 years ago.

There are only three members in the family,

each representing a generation.

There are Zhang Xilin,

Zhang Yude,

and Zhang Chulan.

You are Zhang Chulan.

22 years old.

A varsity student.

When you were ten,

your grandfather was murdered.

Zhang Yude

came to my mother.

I did not know

that the Zhangs have a daughter.

My mom

only told me recently

and she asked me to visit

my grandfather's grave.

Liar.

What can a photo

prove?

So he is Zhang Xilin's son.

Honestly,

she does

take after him.

Right?

Look at the eyes

and the mouth.

I misunderstood that old geezer then.

I always thought

that he adopted Chulan.

Is now the time for gossiping?

This is beyond the point.

The point is this woman here

might be a liar.

Village Director.

Say something.

I am part of the Zhangs

so I will handle my grandfather's affairs.

Thank you,

Village Director.

If

you need my help,

let me know.

We have already informed the police.

If you find a lead,

do

share it with me.

I shall

let you two catch up.

Let's go.

Go!

Enjoy.

Village Director!

She is a stranger!

Grandpa.

I made pork knuckles today.

It's a pity that you can't have it.

Chulan.

I'm making pork knuckles today.

For years,

we seemed to be running from something.

But you never told me why.
