Coppelia’s casket
The flowing tears have already dried up
Solitude starved for blood
Death dances, smelling of angel down
In a town where the black sun never sets
Everyone works silently with an air of deception
I cannot meet you
I cannot meet you here
God, our savior
Coppelia’s casket
People are dolls tired of dancing
The lamb on the altar
Where is the mechanical dream headed?
Coppelia’s casket
O light awakened from the darkness
The lamb on the altar
Where is the dream with the broken spring headed?
Noir…
It is the name of an ancient fate.
Two maidens who govern death.
The peace of the newly born,
their black hands protect.
Minister Song…
About tonight’s meeting…
Please excuse me.
No need to apologize.
I’m so sorry.
Not at all.
Thank you.
Come, we should go.
Sir?
Sir! What’s wrong?!
Sir!
[The Cold Blooded Killer Acte I]
I can’t go to that lake anymore.
You’re Laurent Bouquet’s daughter, all right.
What’s that?
What is that?
A job…
It says to do a job in Taiwan.
What is that supposed to mean?
The client is…
The Soldats.
The Hong Yiban…
The most powerful organization of the Triads
that rule the Taiwan underworld.
Kill their Elder, Wu Jihua.
That is the job the Soldats want us to do.
There we go.
What in the world are the Soldats thinking?
I don’t know.
But the Soldats are slowly coming closer to us.
Yes… That letter, delivered directly to our room.
And signed by the Soldats.
They’re slowly taking their mask off.
And they’re about to show us their face.
I’m not about to let them string us along.
I’ll tear their mask off myself.
That’s what we came to Taiwan for.
That’s right. We didn’t come to do as they say.
It’s still dangerous.
We shouldn’t have come.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Isn’t this what we’ve been waiting for?
We wanted them to make contact with us.
Even if it’s a trap, or to bait us,
we’ll grab onto it with both hands.
That’s what we partnered up for.
If you don’t like it, you can quit.
I’ll do it, even if I have to do it alone.
My darling Chloe,
I read the note you left behind.
What am I to do with you?
I have led her and her friend to Taiwan.
I gave them a task.
However, the situation in Taiwan has changed suddenly.
Very unexpectedly and very drastically.
They may fall prey to the poisonous insect.
Ah, Chloe, such a kind child.
I am painfully aware of how worried sick you are.
Very well, go, Chloe.
I shall always be watching over you.
Gentlemen, the situation is growing in a direction
that is unfavorable to us, the Hong Yiban.
We used Shaoli to take care of Song of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
He was acting on behalf of the Soldats.
The Soldats have discovered that we were behind the assassination
and they have made a certain decision.
And that is to destroy us.
Even before we moved to Taiwan,
together with Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists,
the Soldats and the Triads have always had shared interests.
But now, the Soldats are trying to eliminate us.
Yes, we will fight.
Not for our political beliefs, but for the Triads.
Noir has entered Taiwan.
The Soldats are not a unified body either.
We have a powerful source of information.
So we will always be able to stay one step ahead of them.
This man is?
A man sent by the Soldats.
If we keep an eye on him, we’ll eventually catch Noir.
Shaoli!
Can you kill Noir, Shaoli?
Of course.
Noir may be the thousand-year-old darkness of Europe,
but the Triads’ roots go back two thousand years.
Noir is no threat before the Lai family’s arts of poisoning.
Do not forget those words.
Miss, there’s a message for you.
Oh, thank you.
It seems that you received my message.
Yes, I did.
I have information for you.
We’re listening.
The Hong Yiban have hired a terrible killer.
Killer? Meaning a hit man?
The woman’s name is Shaoli.
In the Triads, she is called “the Cold-Blooded Killer”.
The Cold-Blooded Killer…
I’ve heard of her. She’s a real pro.
The Hong Yiban intend to use Shaoli to crush Noir.
The Soldats and Taiwan’s Triads have a history
of being in serious contention over interests in China.
And that contention finally crossed the line.
The Triads are preparing for all-out resistance.
Someone is leaking information from the Soldats.
Wait a minute. What is it that you people want?
I was instructed to cooperate with you two.
That is all.
Don’t play games with us!
That isn’t what I want to know.
You’re going to tell us everything about the Soldats.
That’s…
The Cold-Blooded Killer!
So they even had my whereabouts pinned down.
Cover me!
Mireille!
Yeah…
All right, I got it.
They’ve finished sealing off the temple.
All that’s left is to hunt the rats.
Yeah, I’m sure Shaoli will smoke out those black rats for us.
It’s no use.
You are no longer needed.
Mireille…
Is she dead?
No…
But she’s not getting away.
Mireille…
Mireille!
I have come to help you.
The soft touch
Finally made me realize how cold my cheek was
Like waking up in the morning
And noticing the birds chirping for the first time
Suddenly
I don’t know anything yet
What my heart is seeking
I don’t know
I was always looking up at the sky
Like this, since who knows when
I would send my thoughts to right below that cloud
