Soul Hunter (Zhu Nian Shi / Jyu Nim Si / 诛念师)

Who exactly are you?

What's your goal?

You're very strange.

We're not related by any means, yet you pursue me without end.

Not related?

Promises and vows

are just human tricks!

[an alien race has been producing offspring in secret.]

[In every generation, their race would send out a Returning Envoy]

[to assess the power of Soul Hunters on Earth.]

[The best soul hunter will be sent back to Planet Fantasy.]

[Fantasy Mark is a sign of protection for aliens from Planet Fantasy.]

[Once the mark is damaged or removed from their bodies,]

I, Yang Lie Xue,

am a soul hunter from Planet Fantasy.

Da Niu's soul,

your time on Earth had long passed.

Yet your soul is still intact.

You're not willing to leave Earth.

That is a violation of nature's law.

You must follow me to the path that you should take.

Stop shouting!

Why don't we have a chat?

I was a lazy person.

My wife was the one planting the seeds, harvesting and sieving the rice.

She worked hard to support our family.

I had an argument with her that day.

And I left the house.

I was captured by the government and turned into a soldier.

I died on the battlefield.

My wife is gorgeous.

Because she had to plant rice all year long,

the skin on her legs cracked.

I just wanted to return and wash her legs for her.

You do still have a conscience.

That's why I couldn't leave in peace.

I managed to find out that my wife is in this university right now.

That's how I came to be a chef in the university's canteen.

But, you caught me before I had a chance to see her.

Please show me mercy.

Fine. Let me think about it.

Director, over here.

My goodness!

-Hello? -

[How dare you be late for Madam Li's class?]

Oh no! I forgot!

[I'm sure you know how harsh she is when she insults people.]

[You must make sure she doesn't catch you.]

You're amazing indeed. You're late again.

Being late isn't anything special for you.

In the four years you've been here,

you're always lethargic in my class. But you become energetic after my class!

Look at what you've written in your parents' occupation column!

Recycling?

Are you kidding me? You're not from a rich family, right?

[But, they don't recycle things or rubbish.]

[Since ancient times, the Yang Family has been recycling human souls.]

[Many of our family members are sent back to our planet.]

[Our family is well-known among the soul hunters.]

You humans

are truly pitiful.

You may

have an interesting life,

but, you don't know that your memories will fade away after your death.

So, there's no point in being stubborn.

[As a descendant of Yang Family, I should've been more outstanding.]

Yang Lie Xue!

Send me a self-reflection report immediately!

[My family has been hiding on Earth for many generations.]

[My disguise is a 4th year undergraduate in this university.]

[This is Little Seven, Little Eight and Big Biscuit.]

[They were sent by Great-Grandma to assist me in returning to my planet.]

[I still need to subdue four souls for me to reach my target.]

[I'm one of the worst soul hunters as well.]

A film crew came to our university lately.

They lack a crew member.

The university wants me to pick one of you to join them.

The director of the film is Han Jiang Dong.

This is a great chance! Madam, pick me!

Madam, pick me!

Currently, there's only one person

who hasn't find a place for their internship.

So, I've decided.

Yang Lie Xue, you're the one.

I can't do this.

I'm busy with other matters.

You're busy? Are you busy with your ascend to heaven?

-Why was she chosen? -There goes my plan.

I was really going to ascend to heaven.

Welcome.

I'm done for. I forget about my self-reflection essay.

What are you looking at?

-You must be Yang Lie Xue. -Yeah.

I'm the producer, Fu Yang. Do you know how to drink?

Oh, 40 years ago...

No. I'm supposed to be a university student.

I drank on my relative's wedding eight years ago.

We're done for. Everyone is lousy at drinking except for our director.

I have something urgent to attend to. How could I offend the security team?

Yang Lie Xue,

I'll leave everything to you then.

-What? -Remember.

You mustn't let the director drink too much.

If not, we won't be able to shoot tomorrow.

Cheers.

Let's drink. Please help us out with the university.

-Come. -This is our art director.

-Hello. -Our director has a strict demand.

Let me have a look.

Sorry.

-I'll leave it to you. -Let's drink.

Bottoms up.

[This is my first time seeing him. But, why do I feel familiar?]

Director Han Jiang Dong.

It all depends on this drink whether our collaboration will succeed or not.

[Besides, some actors got their schedule mixed-up, right?]

You...

Are you angry at someone?

No, I'm angry at myself.

I didn't expect you to be a great drinker.

Everyone else is drunk. How could I do nothing?

Besides, Producer Fu said that you mustn't drink too much.

But, if I knew I would feel this bad,

I wouldn't have drunk that much.

Don't pretend to be strong next time.

I'm here.

I will protect you.

What's wrong?

Oh.

Look. Mid-Autumn Festival will come soon.

The moon is beautiful.

Hello. Where's the washroom?

Over there.

Thank you.

It's Madam Li! What should I do?

Why is she here?

What should I do?

You can't see me! You can't see me...

You can't see me!

Great-Grandma.

The younger generation of Yang Family

constantly remembers their mission

and emphasizes their return to their planet.

Everyone in the Yang Family are elites.

We should always remember the honour and pride of the family.

And work harder

in order to bring honour to our family.

This mission is of vital importance.

Why don't you care about it at all?

Great-Grandma, you see. I'm the 99th generation.

But, no one from Yang Family

had returned to our planet since the 95th generation.

-It's okay if I fail... -You have the face to say that?

That is only a mistake that the Yang Family does occasionally.

Lie Xue.

Your constant retreat

disappoints me greatly!

Great-Grandma, don't be angry.

You worked so hard in order to raise me.

I will do my best to accomplish the mission.

Returning to our planet is the greatest honour for a soul hunter.

It's the ultimate happiness for the people of our planet.

Everything else is unimportant.

Why does Great-Grandma forbid me from talking about the 95th generation?

Did the others from Yang Family who didn't return to the planet

act just like me?

With no idea what to do?

No!

Little Sister,

wait for me, okay?

Wait for me, okay?

This won't do.

Last night, I kissed a girl.

It must be 500 instead of 700 for Bie Ke.

Last night, I kissed

a girl from our crew.

What?

Han Jiang Dong, how is that possible?

We grew up together. I know you best.

I'm sure you haven't kissed a girl before.

Didn't the doctor say you have mysophobia?

-Maybe I was drunk. -Stop lying!

You have been drunk for many times.

Even though the girl looks fine,

but...

Like this. Do you understand?

I was very stressed out lately.

-And I can't sleep well. -How about this?

I'll send you some chicken soup.

I can't get rid of your tongue's loneliness,

but I can send you some chicken soup.

What do you think?

There are so many people here. How are you going to find your wife?

On my wife's right wrist,

there's a birthmark in the shape of a plum.

It's always with her.
