The Legend of the Monster (都市妖奇谈)

The Legend of the Monster

Episode 1 - Magic of the Shadow

In the year 3018 AD,

in a far away universe,

there is a planet parallel to Earth, inhabited by monsters.

But it is only one of the 3 originals (places) where monsters live.

What is a monster? Any spirit or creature that is beyond the understanding of a human's mind and soul.

On this planet that has the same life forms as humans,

there will always be evil monsters that drop their afterlives, and take over bodies.

There will always be a League of Justice commanding an assembly to protect and balance the peace between human and monsters.

At this moment, their battle is underway.

I am a demon.

I have lived in this city for, at least, a few hundred years.

My human name is Liu De.

My animal group belongs to the wolves.

Of course, I have another form, she is Xue Tong.

She's my alter-ego.

Whenever I walk alone on the street...

Stop right there! -...I try to be chivalrous

Everyday I come across impostors. - Stop there!

Where's Xiao Qing Qing?

I don't know!

Aiya, what's the use of you being a policeman then?

You can't even chase my Xiao Qing Qing. -So, it is her, the prostitute.

Xue Tong?!

No matter what, I like this city.

I'm willing to protect it forever.

My name in human form is Zhou Ying.

Actually, I'm a shadow demon.

I come like a shadow, leave like smoke. I have no blood, no flesh,

but I really want to become a human.

Right now, I finally have that chance. I'm starting out as a taxi driver.

Within the City, a chain of murders has occurred.

The murderer's crime is the most savage and cruel. City residents who are travelling around, please be aware for your safety.

In this city, the demons are my old friends.

But recently, there are a lot of new faces.

Most importantly,

my sense of smell tells me,

there's an unparalleled evil force that has already invaded this city.

I have to find it and banish it.

You've murdered someone and dare to come back. As I see it, you're too savage.

Today, you won't be able to escape.

Hey, Sister, send me a text message.

Text? Are you staying here tonight then?

Boss, do you need anything?

Where's the washroom?

Come with me.

Where is he?

So annoying, but you really know how to play.

This city is clean and exquisite. Everyone is healthy and happy.

An ideal hunting ground... I'm coming.

No! Don't kill me!

I-I won't say anything!

Let me tell you, why be alarmed? Find a sugar mama and you're set.

No need to go visiting prostitutes.

You know my abilities.

I'm even a modern day Sherlock Holmes.

Last night, Xue Tong appeared in my sector.

The woman actually knocked me over.

The more I think about it, the more I'm suspicious. Could she be a spy?

Hello? Okay, understood.

Quickly, send me the information about Xue Tong.

There's a big case!

Did I owe you something in my past life?

00544...taxi, let me try that.

Today, I will try you out.

Miss, where are you going? - Dong Jiao Cheng Qi Airport.

It's best that you leave this city.

Did you eat them?

I tell you, immediately leave Li Xi City.

So, it was you!

Do you really think my name "Earth Wolf" means nothing?

Earth can capture everything!

Even if you are a shadow demon.

Does a shadow demon need to eat things?

You're also out to find the culprit?

Yes, I've already looked for him for half a month.

Then why... don't we work together?

To find the culprit?

Okay, my human name is Zhou Ying.

I'm Liu De.

The victims are extremely terrified, trying frantically to escape.

The murderer doesn't care.

We may mutually know each other, but I won't give you another chance to kill violently,

or to enjoy the prey afterwards.

You really want to tear me apart?

Besides, you won't die from being bitten. I just like the bark scent on your body.

Like Hermes (brand) perfume.

Stop joking. Let me ask you, with your 700-year-old powers,

are you able to smell the owner of this hair?

What has scared you to this extent?

We're in big trouble.

The scent on the hair only belongs to Ya Yu.

Ya Yu?

I've heard my master mentioned them before.

It's a type of big and powerful mythological animal.

It incorporates itself into the bodies of humans.

Then sets off their hatred and, at the same time, controlling them.

Lastly, they will eat the flesh altogether.

Did you find out the information?

It's me doing things, when have I been wrong?

Within 15 minutes, I hacked into the SWAT Police database.

All of a certain serial killer's case victims

from 16-years ago, worked in this family trade company.

Not long after, that family trade company fired them, for no reason.

So?

Thank you,

but what I need to know is, where is Xue Tong?

Crap! I forgot.

Go back and help me find it.

Sun Qiaolong, you think the police database... - Shh...!

...is for anyone to get into?

I'll go back and find out.

How much salt did you add?

I'm learning to be human, for the day when I can tell mankind,

that in fact, demons and humans can coexist in peace together.

We're not natural enemies, but long lost friends.

That's a bit deep.

Never thought that since you were stupid looking,

you'd also have a bit of great wisdom and knowledge.

So we shouldn't eat people. - Of course!

It's because I love a person, that's why I'm protecting this city.

Love a person?

Love a person?

Love a person?

What does that mean?

It's nothing. You are still young; your magical powers haven't matured yet.

Love a person...

Fancy finding by sheer luck what I've searched for far and wide.

Help.
