00:38.550 --> 00:39.890
Let him go...

00:40.390 --> 00:42.200
Please... let him go...

00:42.760 --> 00:45.330
Please... let him... go...

00:46.210 --> 00:48.960
Please... let him... go...

00:58.550 --> 01:00.030
<i>Year 22.</i>

01:00.660 --> 01:03.470
<i>Sheng was my 175th target.</i>

01:04.500 --> 01:05.800
<i>Ever time I completed a mission,</i>

01:06.660 --> 01:09.950
<i>I would enjoy the brief moment of silence 
that followed the extinguishing of a life.</i>

01:10.520 --> 01:11.560
<i>And that was because,</i>

01:13.220 --> 01:17.240
<i>ever since I was young and 
lived with a large family,</i>

01:17.240 --> 01:19.020
<i>silence had always been a 
luxury that I couldn't have.</i>

01:20.420 --> 01:22.080
Why doesn't this kid talk?

01:22.080 --> 01:25.020
He's been like that since he was young. 
Maybe he's got some kind of problem.

01:25.020 --> 01:27.040
A problem? Well, did you 
take him to see a doctor?

01:26.260 --> 01:28.250
I told you, don't mix pig snouts
and hearts in the same stir-fry.

01:27.040 --> 01:27.960
Who cares?

01:28.250 --> 01:29.600
It's hard to digest.

01:29.600 --> 01:32.520
I've been butchering pigs for decades! 
I should be allowed to have my own recipes!

01:32.520 --> 01:34.180
It's all because you guys 
don't believe in me.

01:34.180 --> 01:37.130
Otherwise, I would've become 
the Butcher Hero already!

01:37.130 --> 01:40.090
A child crying must mean they're 
hungry. Feed them more meat!

01:40.090 --> 01:44.540
<i>I came from a family of butchers, but I 
always thought they could've done better.
</i>

01:45.270 --> 01:49.980
<i>A proper butcher should be like an 
assassin—minimal talking.</i>

01:50.850 --> 01:54.340
<i>Because the more you talk, 
the more people will know.</i>

01:55.290 --> 01:57.510
<i>And even if pigs don't have the 
power to take revenge on you,</i>

01:57.510 --> 02:00.120
<i>they could still curse you after they die.</i>

02:01.300 --> 02:05.150
<i>So, I swore to become the coolest assassin.</i>

02:08.660 --> 02:13.570
<i>Most mammals have sensory nerve endings 
in their hair follicles and skin.</i>

02:14.110 --> 02:18.800
<i>These nerves only trigger when 
they experience pressure and touch.</i>

02:19.500 --> 02:24.100
<i>When triggered, they release endorphins 
and oxytocin into the body,</i>

02:24.100 --> 02:26.750
<i>which relieves pain and promotes relaxation.</i>

02:26.750 --> 02:29.140
<i>This temporarily lowers stress hormones,</i>

02:29.140 --> 02:32.260
<i>which then slows the heart 
rate and calms the animal.</i>

02:36.510 --> 02:39.060
<i>It's not that I was trying 
to diminish their pain.</i>

02:39.620 --> 02:41.450
<i>I just really couldn't stand the noise.</i>

02:51.070 --> 02:55.190
<i>Year 19. A program called FOMO appeared.</i>

02:53.460 --> 03:00.340
Went to a restaurant I frequent and saw this handsome guy!
Does anyone have his contact info? He looks like a regular at this restaurant.
I wonder why I never noticed him before. It must be because I was too focused 
on the food! Waaah!! o(T__T)o!!

02:55.810 --> 02:58.360
<i>Anyone could present 
themselves on that platform,</i>

02:58.360 --> 03:00.700
<i>striving to become the "hero" 
in everyone's hearts.</i>

03:00.340 --> 03:03.010
Little Girl Xiaolinzi
 I found out he works at the butcher shop!
I snuck a short video of him. 
Boss, give me five pounds of whatever's in this video~~ (heart) (heart)

03:01.920 --> 03:04.060
<i>I thought this was laughable.</i>

03:04.760 --> 03:08.400
<i>How could you gain trust 
from total strangers?</i>

03:05.850 --> 03:09.180
Hot Pot With No Cilantro
 He's so focused when he's butchering meat.
His knife work is experienced, with a 
quiet demeanor and professional skill!
I'm going to be a repeat customer from now on.

03:11.150 --> 03:14.270
Doesn't this look like professional photography?!
I found out that when he's not busy working,
he likes to spend time daydreaming (the cool kind),
so I snuck a video of him. I did tell him in the end,
and he even agreed to take a selfie with me!

03:17.070 --> 03:21.820
Fast Foodie Xiaoyi
 Another day of looking at the cute guy!
Boss, pack up all the meat!
Us girls are buying everything today!

03:17.600 --> 03:21.820
<i>But not long after, I became 
the biggest laughing stock.</i>

03:28.490 --> 03:30.450
<i>As I saw my Trust Value continue to increase,</i>

03:30.870 --> 03:33.540
<i>I realized just how easy 
people were to deceive.</i>

03:34.310 --> 03:37.340
<i>But who was doing the deceiving?</i>

03:43.420 --> 03:49.170
<i>Perhaps the majority of people were like me—
lonely, yet yearning to enjoy solitude.</i>

03:54.420 --> 03:57.170
Your third uncle's little girl wants 
you to give her your autograph.

03:57.170 --> 03:59.100
Just write "Study hard!" on it, will you?

03:59.100 --> 04:00.260
Uncle! A red pocket!

04:00.260 --> 04:04.410
Hey, Wang Yi! I just bought two new stores! 
Come do the ribbon-cutting for me!

04:04.410 --> 04:07.870
<i>I learned two things from this farce.</i>

04:04.410 --> 04:08.680
This here is my eldest nephew! 
I raised him! Isn't he so handsome?

04:09.380 --> 04:13.290
<i>The faster my blade, 
the more difficult it was to talk.</i>

04:16.290 --> 04:21.170
How about it? Want to consider joining 
MG and becoming a real hero?

04:38.270 --> 04:41.890
<i>Year 20. I finally left that crowded,</i>

04:41.890 --> 04:45.700
<i>noisy place to become an assassin.</i>

04:46.860 --> 04:49.160
<i>I took the coolest name—</i>

04:50.460 --> 04:51.530
<i>Ghostblade.</i>

04:54.690 --> 04:57.540
<i>I never searched for any information 
on my mission targets.</i>

04:58.040 --> 04:59.080
<i>Because I knew</i>

04:59.390 --> 05:01.460
<i>that they were definitely 
the ones in the wrong.</i>

05:07.510 --> 05:09.080
<i>Greed is wrong.</i>

05:09.720 --> 05:11.390
<i>Weakness is wrong.</i>

05:12.470 --> 05:13.600
<i>Violence is wrong.</i>

05:14.950 --> 05:16.350
<i>Lying is wrong.</i>

05:16.890 --> 05:18.520
<i>Betrayal is wrong.</i>

05:21.170 --> 05:24.600
<i>And knowing too much is also wrong.</i>

05:32.170 --> 05:35.530
<i>Sheng knows that it's not 
me who wants him killed.</i>

05:36.500 --> 05:41.130
<i>So I hope he won't curse me in his death.</i>

07:47.320 --> 07:50.660
Things have already gotten to this point. 
Could you at least say something?

07:50.660 --> 07:54.810
<i>Zhang Lan was a hostage I rescued
behind Bagel Alley after I became a hero.</i>

07:56.090 --> 07:59.550
<i>176 days later, she became my wife.</i>

08:27.040 --> 08:29.500
Don't come any closer! 
Or else I'm gonna kill her!

08:32.740 --> 08:35.200
Hey, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?!

08:35.200 --> 08:37.800
Don't come any closer! Hey!

08:43.510 --> 08:47.440
<i>I had never seen anyone as calm as her.</i>

08:54.510 --> 09:00.490
<i>I was even worried that the neon lights 
illuminating her face would startle her.</i>

09:00.490 --> 09:02.410
Hey, you punk—

09:19.930 --> 09:22.310
<i>From that day onwards, I understood.</i>

09:23.960 --> 09:26.030
<i>Romance wasn't sweet nothings.</i>

09:27.210 --> 09:31.210
<i>It was a silent mutual understanding.</i>

09:33.150 --> 09:36.290
Groom, do you take her to be your 
wife, for richer and for poorer,

09:36.290 --> 09:39.790
in sickness and in health, 
for better and for worse,

09:39.790 --> 09:42.990
and vow to remain by her side 
to love and protect her?

09:44.190 --> 09:48.520
Bride, do you take him to be your 
husband, for richer and for poorer,

09:48.520 --> 09:52.360
in sickness and in health, 
and vow to remain by his side?

09:57.300 --> 09:59.130
I do.

10:14.160 --> 10:16.880
Your test results are back. Nothing serious.

10:16.880 --> 10:18.490
You fainted because of anemia.

10:18.490 --> 10:20.360
Remember to keep an eye on your diet.

10:21.050 --> 10:23.870
And I do have one other thing to tell you—

10:23.870 --> 10:26.030
Congratulations! You're pregnant!

10:28.740 --> 10:31.210
<i>The moment she put down her 
phone for the first time</i>

10:32.100 --> 10:33.830
<i>was like watching a movie half-way,</i>

10:34.630 --> 10:37.930
<i>and the theater lights 
suddenly turned on.</i>

10:51.810 --> 10:53.260
I used to think

10:53.260 --> 10:55.410
that maintaining independence 
was a cool thing.

10:56.230 --> 10:59.360
But now, I want a complete family.

11:01.460 --> 11:03.400
So I changed myself.

11:03.400 --> 11:05.570
I believe that you can, too.

11:08.660 --> 11:11.160
One's beliefs can be a shackle,

11:11.160 --> 11:13.750
but if you're willing to 
put aside your obsessions,

11:13.750 --> 11:17.360
then everything you've been forcefully 
given will disappear, too!

11:20.420 --> 11:24.970
So... let go of this hero persona. 
Leave the public eye.

11:26.220 --> 11:28.390
Our parents are getting old.

11:28.390 --> 11:31.810
I want us all to move in together 
and enjoy one another's company.

11:34.330 --> 11:37.400
Enjoy... one another's... company...

11:38.550 --> 11:41.740
<i>I've been butchering pigs for decades!</i>

11:41.740 --> 11:45.850
<i>I would've become the Butcher Hero already!</i>

11:51.540 --> 11:53.570
<i>I told you not to mix pig snouts
and hearts in the same stir-fry.</i>

11:53.570 --> 11:55.160
<i>It's hard to digest.</i>

11:57.210 --> 12:01.410
<i>This here is my eldest nephew! 
I raised him! Isn't he so handsome?</i>

12:03.970 --> 12:08.050
<i>Hey, Wang Yi! I just bought two new stores! 
Come do the ribbon-cutting for me!</i>

12:10.810 --> 12:13.620
Say something!

12:14.550 --> 12:18.770
I know you still can't talk, 
but can you at least nod or something?

12:22.450 --> 12:23.940
Nod... or something...?

12:24.530 --> 12:27.870
I won't push you. We should 
respect each other's decisions.

12:28.380 --> 12:29.900
I'll take our daughter with me.

12:29.900 --> 12:32.470
That way, you get to keep 
your peace and quiet.

12:54.180 --> 12:56.520
<i>My family wasn't wrong about me.</i>

12:57.190 --> 12:58.550
<i>I do have a problem.</i>

13:00.500 --> 13:02.570
<i>I don't know how to express emotions.</i>

13:03.600 --> 13:06.240
<i>Because I can't even tell what emotions are.</i>

13:07.250 --> 13:11.070
<i>All I know is what I should do.</i>

13:19.780 --> 13:21.860
<i>I began to understand why my father</i>

13:21.860 --> 13:26.050
<i>observed more than he participated
when teaching me to butcher pigs.</i>

13:31.030 --> 13:37.730
<i>I also understood what was left behind in 
Sheng's words and eyes right before he died.</i>

13:50.920 --> 13:54.120
<i>Bagel Alley? What a coincidence.</i>

13:54.910 --> 13:56.010
<i>Where'd she go?</i>

14:02.090 --> 14:03.540
It's him again?

14:05.010 --> 14:06.580
<i>Who's following Nuonuo?</i>

14:24.970 --> 14:26.180
Th-There's a creep following me!

14:26.180 --> 14:27.220
<i>Creep?</i>

14:29.950 --> 14:34.420
<i>I did say that everyone who dies 
by my hand is in the wrong.</i>

14:36.070 --> 14:40.310
<i>Harassing Nuonuo is more 
wrong than anything else.</i>

14:45.220 --> 14:46.920
<i>He parried my attack?</i>

15:27.130 --> 15:28.800
Damn creep! Get lost!

15:27.570 --> 15:28.800
<i>It's a young girl?</i>

15:31.180 --> 15:32.220
<i>What's going on?</i>

15:32.620 --> 15:34.230
<i>Did I misunderstand?</i>

15:34.230 --> 15:36.580
What are they doing?

15:39.170 --> 15:45.230
<i>At that moment, the words said to me by 
Zhang Lan came to mind.</i>

15:46.200 --> 15:48.480
She's 18. 
That means she's a legal adult now.

15:49.540 --> 15:53.150
She's already an adult, and you 
picked that as her birthday present.

15:53.150 --> 15:55.520
That's something she 
would've liked as a child!

15:56.480 --> 16:00.740
Her favorite clothes, food, hobbies...
you don't know a damn thing about her!

16:00.740 --> 16:04.110
Did you ever really care about her at all? 
Have you ever really understood her?

16:05.710 --> 16:09.680
It's fine. 
You're already dead to her, anyway.

16:10.300 --> 16:11.420
You can keep that for yourself.

16:21.920 --> 16:25.480
<i>It appeared to me that I really didn't 
know anything about my daughter anymore.</i>

16:25.940 --> 16:29.520
<i>Not what she was thinking, 
nor what she wanted to do.</i>

16:31.170 --> 16:35.490
<i>Turns out there are some questions that can
only be answered when they're answered out loud.</i>

16:35.810 --> 16:41.580
<i>At that moment, I felt an 
urge to open my mouth.</i>

16:43.020 --> 16:44.920
<i>But I still couldn't manage to say anything.</i>

16:45.710 --> 16:49.240
<i>My lips had been sealed by my believers.</i>

16:55.100 --> 17:00.430
<i>I had to make an even more detailed 
plan to know her, to understand her.</i>

17:29.330 --> 17:31.250
<i>I tried the ice cream she always ate.</i>

17:32.360 --> 17:35.220
<i>I listened to every song 
by her favorite artist.</i>

17:35.900 --> 17:38.340
<i>I watched every movie she 
watched with her friends.</i>

17:39.820 --> 17:44.610
<i>I discovered that her hobbies and 
thoughts changed constantly.</i>

17:45.660 --> 17:49.170
<i>It wasn't Zhang Lan or myself who 
influenced these changes on her.</i>

17:49.790 --> 17:53.820
<i>It was this pink-haired girl 
who was always at her side.</i>

17:55.690 --> 17:56.730
Best friend

17:58.400 --> 18:02.210
Weird clothes!

17:58.400 --> 18:02.210
Pink-haired girl

17:58.410 --> 18:02.210
Best friend

17:59.330 --> 18:02.210
All-nighters

18:00.620 --> 18:02.210
Bad influence

18:04.630 --> 18:08.740
<i>Sometimes, those who reshape 
one's life aren't their parents,</i>

18:09.300 --> 18:11.380
<i>but their closest friends.</i>

18:12.180 --> 18:15.960
<i>Nuonuo never used to stay up 
late, and she rarely drank.</i>

18:17.170 --> 18:18.820
<i>But with her,</i>

18:19.850 --> 18:21.430
<i>things changed...</i>

18:34.920 --> 18:38.260
Yell it with me! Damn creep, get lost!

18:38.800 --> 18:40.510
D-Damn creep, get lost...

18:41.060 --> 18:43.660
Damn creep, get lost!

18:44.020 --> 18:46.900
<i>I never intended to 
interfere with her growth,</i>

18:48.300 --> 18:50.720
<i>but seeing her being swayed 
by a bad influence,</i>

18:50.720 --> 18:52.230
<i>my mountain of love...</i>

18:53.260 --> 18:55.410
<i>began to erupt like a volcano.</i>

19:13.480 --> 19:15.780
Hello? Speak up! Who's this?

19:18.070 --> 19:19.400
You're not that—

19:19.400 --> 19:24.160
Unknown caller

19:24.440 --> 19:27.670
Ugh, gross. You're a real creep.

19:27.670 --> 19:28.710
We're in trouble!

19:29.050 --> 19:30.630
The Glimmer Laboratory is under attack!

19:30.630 --> 19:31.380
What?!

19:31.380 --> 19:33.380
There have been multiple explosions!

19:33.380 --> 19:34.660
Our staff is rushing there right now.

19:34.660 --> 19:36.020
This is an emergency situation.

19:36.020 --> 19:39.620
Everyone, please send your 
heroes right away to render aid.

19:40.570 --> 19:43.730
Excuse me, but do you think I could 
post about the situation on FOMO?

19:43.730 --> 19:46.050
Save it. Things are already chaotic enough.

19:46.820 --> 19:49.060
I'll contact Ghostblade.

19:55.460 --> 19:59.360
Seems your iron fist management isn't quite perfect.

20:00.680 --> 20:05.950
Why would he be in a call with someone else?

20:09.660 --> 20:11.290
<i>Who were you on the phone with just now?</i>

20:11.880 --> 20:15.710
<i>Head to the Glimmer Laboratory right away. 
There's been an incident.</i>

20:23.320 --> 20:24.510
Wang Nuonuo!

20:26.280 --> 20:28.710
Are you guys all right? How is Area Zero?

20:28.710 --> 20:30.660
The Fear... It's leaked...

20:30.660 --> 20:31.700
What?

20:32.580 --> 20:33.850
You guys leave first.

20:35.770 --> 20:36.810
Dad!

20:39.640 --> 20:42.340
Loli! What are you doing here?!

20:42.340 --> 20:44.210
And what are you wearing?

20:44.710 --> 20:48.660
Are you okay? Is this what you were 
researching at home all this time?

20:50.420 --> 20:54.010
Professor Luo, 
the attacker is still inside...

20:54.010 --> 20:57.340
Ghostblade is here. 
He'll clean up the scene.

21:09.780 --> 21:12.790
Were you wearing this thing 
trying to play hero?

21:12.790 --> 21:16.490
I let you come here so you could 
study in more areas of science.

21:16.490 --> 21:18.560
I didn't let you come here 
to do dangerous things!

21:25.220 --> 21:27.280
How did it go, Professor Luo?

21:28.980 --> 21:31.020
The Commission accepted my proposal.

21:31.020 --> 21:33.790
I'm to head to the spaceship 
wreckage right away.

21:34.830 --> 21:36.350
That's great.

21:36.350 --> 21:39.240
But isn't the timing a little bit tight?

21:39.240 --> 21:40.880
Shouldn't you prepare a little 
more before heading there?

21:40.880 --> 21:43.240
The Commission wants this dealt with
as soon as possible to avoid any leaks.

21:43.240 --> 21:47.710
The only people coming with me are the ones 
who experienced the attack last night.

21:47.710 --> 21:49.290
They're my trusted core staff.

21:49.290 --> 21:52.580
Just you lot? 
That's too dangerous. Why don't I—

21:56.850 --> 21:59.340
Excellent! Ghostblade can keep a secret.

21:59.340 --> 22:02.360
We'll have nothing to 
worry about if we bring him along.

22:04.180 --> 22:05.990
That's exactly my intention.
