Jiu, this is hard to come by.
This used to be a floating city.
Now it's just the few of us families left.
What do I do with these cans of beer...
if you don't accompany me in drinking? Put them on display?
Come on.
Jiu, let's go home.
Mrs. Jiu, you're just in time.
Sit down and drink with us.
No, thanks. It's very late now. We've got to go home.
It's not late at all. He'll sit with me a bit longer.
You go home first.
It's not that, Mr. Tong.
Two nights ago, we saw...
What did you see two nights ago?
Forget it. It's very late. Let's go home.
I told you to go home first.
Just ignore her.
- Come on. - Okay, I'll go back later.
I won't bother you then. I'll get going.
This is great.
Jiu. Come and see.
The fish are jumping up.
What fish?
Come and see.
They've all jumped up here.

(Episode 16)
(This drama is a fiction.)
Blue skies above and the land below.
The gods of heaven and earth.
As your disciple learns Taoism,
answer as soon as I call, no matter what.
Come immediately!
Why have you come out here?
There are too many people, I can't fight them.
My turf is being messed up right now.
As the leader,
how can you run out alone without so much as a scratch on yourself?
If I don't run, there'll be one more person hospitalized!
Now everyone in the gang has sustained serious injuries!
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
I groomed you and handed my turf for you to look after.
You should have borne the responsibility well!
My turf is now totally destroyed.
What does that mean?
That means you are useless!
I stayed alive to take revenge!
Take him away.
Thank you, Boss.
This is already the fourth turf.
All these turfs are either ruined by the police...
or our rival gang!
I don't know what misfortune I've been landed with lately.
Hoi once said that...
there's one person who may be your lucky star.
Do we really have to rely on him?
It looks to be that way.
Hi.
Sorry, could I borrow your lighter?
Okay.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Don't worry, your divinity lot says you're all right.
- Thank you, Master Hoi. - You're welcome.
(Ninety-eighth lot)
Have a seat. What would you like to ask?
I want to ask when will the person who betrays me die?
Master Hoi, it looks like you're having a good life here.
- What do you want? - Interpret my lot.
"The 98th lot".
Delay your going to seek your fortune.
Haste may breed grief and follies.
Like a bird which fell into a waiting net,
it will take a long time to escape.
This is an inauspicious lot.
I know. Of course, I know that.
It's about staying where I am to be on the safe side.
All will be well as soon as my benefactor arrives.
I wonder when my benefactor will arrive.
The lot doesn't say.
But this is what my Taoist master told me...
that my benefactor will save me three times.
The first time was the seventh month of this lunar year.
Sing, I didn't have enough skill at that time.
It's not accurate. Don't believe it.
I feel it's very accurate.
The seventh month of this year, the ghost festival.
Sing, Chuen is already a disciple of Pang Bak Chuen.
Mr. Law, fancy seeing you here.
People often say that keeping one's word is important in life.
I'm sure you place importance in being trustworthy, Mr. Law.
Mr. Pang, I've always been a man of my word.
Look at Master Hoi sitting there with not a hair out of place.
I didn't even touch a single strand of his.
If that's the case,
what can we help you with?
I came all the way here...
to ask Master Hoi to show me the right path.
Hoi is still not quite skilled in it.
Why don't you let me do it?
Mr. Law, this divination lot is telling you...
that whatever it is you plan to do, it's best not to do it.
Otherwise, you'll walk right into a trap.
Whatever I, Guai Sing, want,
I've never failed to get.
If it's what you should not have, the heavens won't give it to you.
If you insist on getting it,
I will stop you.
We shall see about that.
I didn't know you'd come. Sorry, Sir.
Skip the formalities. I never came here today.
Understood.
Here's the official approval to have Pang Bak Chuen as a consultant.
Just follow the procedures.
Thank you, Sir.
Case of the Haunted Ghost Festival.
Case of the Posthumous Marriage Hypnosis.
"The Villain Hitting Sorcery Case."
Did Pang Bak Chuen really help solve them all?
Yes, Sir.
Pang Bak Chuen is highly skilled.
He will be of great help...
to the Seventh Action Group if he joins us.
What I want to know is, why are there so many such cases lately?
Sorry, Sir. I really can't explain it.
But I can guarantee...
that we will put our all into investigating every case.
Mrs. Thatcher is going to Beijing soon to discuss the Hong Kong issue.
The police force has to ensure total safety.
Shouldn't the political division be in charge of this, Sir?
The political division will have its own responsibilities to do.
But if someone in Hong Kong...
tries to make trouble with sorcery and occult...
to adversely affect negotiations, that would be your responsibility.
So far, every case involved individuals...
committing those crimes for personal gains.
We've found nothing to indicate any conspiracy.
What about the sorcery they used?
Were there any especially powerful occult?
The sorcery used were all conventional ones, Sir.
Mr. Pang and I had enough skills to deal with them.
The issue of Hong Kong's future will be settled soon.
The police force may also experience some changes in the future.
At that time, your group will be the same as the political division.
Don't miss any opportunities you may have.
You mean you want us to root out all black magic and sorcery,
Sir?
Just see if there's anything suitable to bring back to England.
You want me to look for occultism?
You want to go back to Scotland Yard too, don't you?
Everyone sent to Hong Kong wants to achieve something...
and return to England to be promoted and gain some wealth.
If you don't have something to take back with you,
how will they promote you?
I'm only doing what's good for you.
Yes, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
Detective Gan.
Do you think these books can be used?
I'll look for others if they're useless.
If it can be found so easily in books,
it wouldn't be occultism.
What do we do?
If we still can't find proof of occultism,
will Sir be so angry...
that he'll disband Seventh Action Group?
I won't let this happen.
Seventh Action Group.
Okay, I'll be there right away.
Clear skies and the earth spirits. Army general obeys the command.
The army turns with the sign, the general moves as commanded.
In the name of the Mao Shan Taoist Lord's imperial edict,
I urgently summon the divine troops...
and quickly lead them, setting out in pursuit.
The divine troops, come quickly.
Withdraw your troops.
Founder, please withdraw the troops.
Original master, please withdraw the troops.
Celestial maiden, please withdraw the troops.
Mao Shan Taoist Lord, please withdraw your troops.
Receive the symbolic troops and general, quickly back to the altar.
The divine troops, come quickly.
All right, that's all the lesson for today.
I can finally turn on the TV.
Enough. You can't rush this. Take it slow.
More haste, less speed.
Master.
Under what condition does one use this magic?
Is it when there's danger?
Come and see!
This is a special report.
On a fishing raft in New Territories,
a suspected sea creature has launched an attack,
leaving two victims missing and one injured.
According to reports, that's the water area...
where people have witnessed the appearance of a sea creature.
A resident even mentioned hearing...
an animal-like shriek coming from the sea late at night...
for the past few months.
Another resident said...
many fishing folks refused to go out to sea because of this...
and this has adversely affected their livelihood.
Mr. Pang, can you help me see...
if the two missing persons are dead or still alive?
No problem.
The news says it's a sea creature.
Mr. Tong, the president of the fishermen's association said that.
- Is he an eye-witness? - Yes.
Mr. Tong, right? Did you see the sea creature last night?
Yes, it was frightening.
Can you describe the sea creature to us?
It was like a man, yet not a man. It was like a fish, yet not a fish.
It was really big.
How big was it?
This big, as big as three people.
That big?
Did that thing make any sound...
or jump out of the water?
I was too frightened at the time to remember.
When I jumped into the water and swam desperately to shored,
I didn't even dare to take another look.
I never thought I would escape with my life.
As for Jiu and his wife...
Marine police have searched the whole morning, but found nothing.
Mr. Pang, do you have any way to find them?
I do have a way,
but I'm afraid what we find will only be bodies.
If you want to say something, come back and tell me.
Come back.
Tell me what your grudges are.
Come back.
Tell me.
Whatever you want to say, tell me.
Tell me.
Yes.
All right.
You may go back.
Jan, how did it go?
Death came so suddenly to them...
that they couldn't even see clearly what had attacked them.
Actually, all they hope for is to be buried and rest in peace.
Bak Chuen, please help them.
Thank you.
The diver is ready.
Soul, return. Come immediately.
Could it really be a sea creature that ate them?
If it really was a sea creature, why is it only missing the head...
while the rest of the body is perfectly intact?
Jiu, how did this happen?
It must have been Chan Wing and his family who did this.
Strange things started happening as soon as they came.
Who is Chan Wing?
Their raft is right at the far end.
I'm sure it's them. They worship the ghost temple.
They must have provoked those strange things...
and lured the sea creature out.
Siu Ching is not a sea creature!
Siu Ching will never harm people!
She is Chan Wing's daughter!
I didn't frame her.
She said herself that she knows the sea creature.
Bad man!
Master, I'll follow her to take a look.
Tong Tong, you go along too.
Okay. Thanks, Tong Tong.
Master, preliminary forensics show it's not a human's internal organ.
But they need more time to find out what animal that belongs to.
Which means it's not human, but an animal.
It could also be a live sacrificial ceremony.
Could it be the worshipper of the ghost temple called...
Chan Wing.
Master, to your knowledge,
can a ghost temple worshiper call out demons?
A ghost temple indicates the temple is not for worshiping true gods.
It's for wandering spirits, demons and lone souls without masters.
But these are not necessarily harmful to people.
Even if you request something from them,
any retribution will be on the supplicant himself.
Didn't Mr. Tong say the sea creature only appeared...
after Chan Wing's family came?
And it so happens that Chan Wing worships the ghost temple.
Before we find any definite proof,
it's best that we don't rashly jump to conclusions.
We need to find a way to investigate Chan Wing's family...
and look for that ghost temple...
before we know if there's any demons involved in this matter.
Master, why don't you let me go and find out?
I noticed Chan Wing's daughter...
running off furiously after hearing about the sea creature.
You go ask around tomorrow.
Master, let me go.
I've met the girl before.
Mr. Tong said Chan Wing is quite puritanical.
He has never communicated with the villagers all this while.
Chuen has an unyielding nature.
If he investigates Chan Wing, he is likely to stir up trouble.
It's better if you and Bat investigate Chan Wing.
Let go of me!
