Vampire Hunters (殭屍大時代)

People say

that time can make us forget.

But some things

stay with us forever.

They keep coming back, like the eternal struggle between good and evil.

It was many years ago when I first met them.

They were special people.

Students of an ancient secret school of magic.

Able to bring the dead back to life

and take life away from others.

I had better give you some background first,

in the old days when a body is buried,

if it wasn't at peace, after a while,

negative energy would build up,

causing physical changes in the corpse which would allow it to move again.

These moving corpses were known to us as "zombies", and to you, as vampires.

If the zombies got out from the underground chambers, they had to find energy.

This of course was present in live humans

and that's why the zombies attack people.

- Wind! - Yes.

Thundeh

- rain! - Yes!

- Lightning! - Yes!

The four of you look after the rest.

This mission is dangerous, stay alert!

Understand?

Yes!

This is a story of four of the bravest,

most capable vampire-fighters who ever lived,

and how they ended up saving the world.

It was their master teacher who led them into this battle:

A most dangerous mission which took

all of their wits and powers.

Master, soon it will be daybreak.

The men haven't slept for days, they're exhausted.

They need to rest.

If something happens they won't be able to deal with it.

Wait, I can feel there is a large amountof negative energy around here.

We must all be extra careful.

Master!

How close are we now?

According to the map, we should be there.

This county has a history of good luck and good spirits.

I sense that wealthy people are buried around here.

But I also sense danger.

The buried spirits are very restless.

Something horrible could happen at any moment.

Master, we found it.

- Where? - Towards the south east!

This is the grave of a powerful general,

but it looks as if it's been tampered with.

If the corpse is still inside, that means it hasn't changed yet,

but we must blow up the tomb to prevent the corpse from turning into zombie.

If the corpse has gone, I feel it's dangerous to stay here.

Master, I'll warn the men.

Good.

Gas, careful!

Get back! There's methane gas everywhere.

Put out the torches!

Give me the explosives!

Let me do it.

No! I'm already down here.

Rain!

I'm here. Master.

Catch!

Master! Catch!

Watch out! There's a vampire.

Get him away from me!

Don't go near it! It's super powerful.

Use the magic bag to catch it.

Don't go over there! It's too late.

That_

Master! Master...

Don't hold me!

Master...

Master!

Hey, what's wrong with you? It's only a wedding party.

We can't tell them they have a vampire around here.

You sure that compass is working?

I don't know, it's stopped moving now.

Maybe it needs a rest.

Remember the master told us

to stay alert at all times.

Anything can happen anywhere, at anytime.

The master also said that

where we find vampires we will find him!

If master's still alive, maybe we'll bump into him.

I hope so.

Look!

Smile, guys!

Mr. Kow, these are the workers you requested.

Are you dumb or what?

I said I need a bunch of workmen and you bring me two!

Can these four men work in the kitchen?

Yes, yes!

Hey what are you doing here?

Ok... ok... what are your names?

- I'm wind. - Thunder.

- Rain. - Lightning.

What? Wind, thunder, rain and lightning?

What kind of stupid names are those?

From now on, you'll be called kung, hei, fat, choi.

Now repeat that.

I'm kung.

Hei.

- Fat. - Choi!

Those are names for servants.

Give them a change of clothes.

You come with me to the kitchen.

You others look too clumsy for the kitchen,

go out front and bring in the wedding presents.

Go go go!

Go go, get out of here.

Stop looking at that compass!

Or I'll throw you out!

Let's go!

Don't look so miserable, cheer up!

- He tried to throw me out! - Let's go!

That guy's ridiculous!

What dowry? I don't even see the bride.

Where's the bridal sedan?

Where the hell are they rushing to?

Sorry, I am very lucky

self-pick again!

Really good luck.

Thank you.

Boss! I saw it!

The Jiang's bridal sedan has just passed by, on its way to the mansion.

Sit down.

What's up? Why did you call us so urgently?

The Jiang's are having a wedding again,

and every time they do. Someone dies.

How many times does this make?

Quite a few. I think 6, right?

That sounds right.

Strange, all the brides have died on the wedding night.

What a curse! Who would want to marry into that family?

These girls know what they're getting into.

They do it to try and get the Jiang fortune.

If it's true that everytime the bride dies,

then we must think of some way to make money out of this.

Forget it.

The jiangs have never given us any business

in spite of all these deaths in the family.

I wonder where they keep the corpses.

I bet they hide all of them.

But why?

Who knows?

Old Jiang's a real jerk. Why don't we spread a rumor that

he has vampires in the mansion!

This compass isn't responding,

maybe we're in the wrong place.

Remember why we are here? To fight the vampires and look for our master.

We can still make a few dollars while we are here for our trip.

Don't mention traveling money; We don't even have enough for one meal!

I suggest we look for another month.

If we still can't find master's body, then we go home.

I understand.

But I am still worried,

what if the master became a vampire too.

Stop talking b.S.!

It's possible.

Here we are.

Hey, hurry out and greet your bride.

Don't hurt me, I'm just a passer by...

The wedding ceremony will now begin.

Marriage ceremony!

The bride and groom will honor the parents.

I love this...

Don't worry, I have plenty of experience,

I've been married 6 times already!

This time you're gonna be fine, you won't die,

so don't worry...

Oh I like this...

I like this...

I know those 4 guys didn't come with you.

Here's the wages for your two men,

you pay them ok?

- Hey hey! We're getting paid today. - Tam,

pui.

Come here for your pay check.

Where did they go? They couldn't have left.

Say, did you see the bride? Is she pretty?

What?

What's she got to do with us? Its none of our business.

Just asking.

Seems like there's no zombies here.

Let's just get our money and leave?

I've heard that the jiangs are in the wax business,

and they're very unlucky with women.

The son has married six times

and his brides die soon after the wedding.

So, what does it matter

if she is pretty or not,

right?

Hey, why are you cleaning up,

you still have work to do.

We thought it was payday!

Forget it!

Who's gonna take the lanterns down and and who's gonna put everything away?
