Psych-Hunter (Haunted House Notes / Xin Zhai Lie Ren / 心宅猎人)

Episode 1

If one is not guilty

how could a ghost haunt him?

What troubles the spirit is born from the heart.

To diagnose from the mind and treat at the soul.

To delve into a patient's subconscious and root out the evil within.

Those skilled in this aspect

are known as Psych-Hunters.

Child.

Child.

Jiang Shuo

I found him at the grave.

It was so scary.

Master, he's awake.

You're awake.

Would you like some water?

Child,

where are you from?

What about your family?

Child,

I found this near you earlier.

Is this your name?

Jiang Shuo

Jiang

Shuo.

An invitation from hell.

Changshan's tycoon Qin Yi mysteriously disappears overnight.

The Chairman of the Qin Chamber of Commerce is missing.

October 14

Psych-Hunter

No. 121, Bo'ai Lane

Liu Xin, save me!

The one who killed Zhang Meng is here.

Liu Xin, save me!

Liu Xin,

save me!

Liu Xin!

Why didn't you save me?

Xiang!

Please let me go!

My good friend,

pay for your sins!

Master!

Is it him?

Yes!

It's him!

Let's go.

What did you do?

Why is he so angry?

Open!

It's him! He's the murderer!

If he's the murderer,

why did Xiang come to see you?

It's karma.

-Karma! -Liu Xin,

you cannot run.

Xiang, please let me go!

Xiang, it wasn't him.

It was the one who was chasing you.

Instead of killing Liu Xin,

you should let him seek out your murderer

for revenge.

If he fails to do so,

I'll personally bring him to you.

It's a deal.

Remember

what you have done.

Xiang, I beg you.

Please let me go.

It's time to go.

Right on time.

Liu Xin.

My mind reading skills

can solve a lot of problems.

However, your dream

was a little weird.

What was it about karma?

Don't stick your nose in this.

Just focus on curing my nightmares.

Don't bother about anything else.

A good night's sleep also

requires good fengshui.

Your original home

must have bad fengshui.

-That's why you get nightmares. -Jiang Shuo, you rascal!

Do you have any other ideas?

A wise man always has a plan B, Liu Xin.

To cure your sickness,

we must target the root cause.

Sir, not only am I only good at eliminating trouble,

I am also selling this auspicious, lush mansion.

Take a look at this home.

It has good fengshui.

It's in a good location with great vibes.

I was wondering why you insisted on

meeting me at this residence.

So, you wanted to try to sell this to me?

Forget about it. I don't have the money.

Then I wouldn't be able to help you.

Jiang Shuo. Master Shuo,

we can talk this out.

Have a seat.

Liu Xin,

this residence I'm recommending to you

can ward off trouble and bring you luck!

It perfectly suits your needs.

Besides,

its price

is definitely fair.

Is it that cheap?

You've also witnessed

my true talent.

Don't worry.

This residence

will definitely help you get a good night's sleep.

Buyer: Liu Xin

Are you betting

or not?

Don't waste our time.

Dr Qin,

you really want to bet your life?

All right.

Let's bet our lives today!

I'm not interested

in your life.

If I win,

you have to stop gambling.

Stop gambling?

What kind of bet is this?

I promised your wife to cure

your gambling addiction.

Fine.

If I lose today,

I'll stop gambling.

However, Dr Qin,

if you lose today,

I'll take all your family's fortune.

Are you game?

I can give you anything you want

because I, Qin Yi Heng,

have never lost.

I'll let you

win the first round.

All right.

I'll accept this victory.

Go ahead.

The three dice have

the same number.

Get up!

You lost.

The three dice do not

have the same number.

Open it! Open it!

That's not right.

He must have cheated.

He cheated. I disagree!

I am not convinced.

Mr Ji,

I set

all the rules today.

I just asked you to throw the dice.

I am not guessing which is larger.

I am only guessing if they will show the same digit.

I let you win

the first round.

On the surface, it seems as if

you have the upper hand.

But in reality,

you've already lost

the psychological war.

Because I, Qin Yi Heng,

have never lost.

This is my first point.

My second point is that

I have never lost

because I never place bets.

You are a seasoned gambler.

Do you know what's the difference between a seasoned and an amateur gambler?

Habit.

Let's take throwing dice as an example.

Guessing which is larger

requires observation and analysis.

If the dice show the same digit,

a seasoned gambler would

immediately cover them up,

as he would take note of it

in an instant.

While calculating, they would

observe their opponent's reactions.

If the dice show different digits,

a greater amount of calculation is needed.

His sight would

linger on the dice

for a little longer.

Your actions

are magnified

in my eyes.

And everything I do

will amplify your habits.

Mr Ji, you only know our second young master
