How come the words are gone?
All those who still stayed in the academic building and the dorm after 1 a.m....
...had a chance to kill Chi.
He sexually harassed female students.
Koo Tsoi-yung, did you kill him to shut him up?
On behalf of the police, I thank you for your cooperation.
You're formally under arrest.
You want to kill all the women who are close to me?
You killed to vent your anger. You are really so selfish and cruel.
No, I did everything for love.
If you loved him, you wouldn't want him to die.
You wouldn't smear him to save yourself after he had died.
You wouldn't put all the blame on him.
I didn't put the blame on him.
You didn't? You described it like it was manslaughter.
But actually you killed him with pre-meditation.
You had even typed a confession letter in advance.
I guess Ho never expected he'd get stabbed by his own wife.
He was afraid that his wife would come after him to kill him.
So he locked himself in Room 111.
No, that's not what happened. He typed the letter himself.
He wanted to take the blame for me voluntarily.
Ah...
You've bled a lot. Let me take you to the hospital.
No, it's hard to explain this in a hospital.
The wound is shallow. I can stop the bleeding myself.
Get me the first-aid kit. I'll wait here.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Honey, why have you locked yourself in?
Go. I can't hang in there for more than five minutes.
Open the door.
This is the legendary Room 111.
Remember to wipe the floor clear of blood.
Let them think I committed suicide, okay?
No. Why do you want to die inside there? No.
I got two persons killed indirectly.
You've done so many things for me. But it's really enough.
You would do anything for me.
Let me do something for you in return this last time.
No, you don't need to do anything for me. I just want you to be fine.
I'm begging you please. Please open the door.
Open the door. I'm begging you please. Open the door.
I never felt Ho loved me when I was with him.
This was the first time. He did have me in his heart.
He'd even decided to turn himself in when he told me that we'd better part.
Why did he want to turn himself in? Why? Ho wouldn't kill anyone.
For my sake, he didn't mind giving up his reputation.
But he's dead now. I really don't care if I'm found guilty or not.
This is the only thing Ho has ever done for me.
I really don't want to fail his kindness.
Get off me. Let go. Let me die.
I don't care at all if you die or not.
But you understand how serious it is for a person to take the fall...
...and give up his future and reputation.
Please clear my dad Fu Tung-ming's name before you die.
When I was in secondary school...
... Fu Tung-ming was my teacher for the Chinese subject.
He caught me cheating. He wanted to give me a demerit point.
My image in school was as an excellent student.
I begged him to give me a break. He refused.
I had no choice but to intimidate him.
I told him if he exposed me...
... I would tell the school that he had harassed me sexually.
Fu Tung-ming didn't cave in?
I didn't molest Leung Siu-kuen.
She cheated on the exam. I caught her doing so.
Then she smeared me.
She's so unscrupulous despite her young age.
I'm her teacher. I had to correct her.
We've discussed. We hope you will tender your resignation.
You don't believe me?
In sexual harassment cases...
... the male teachers are often at a disadvantage.
The school may form a committee to investigate this...
... or refer the case to the police.
'Sir'. He calls himself 'sir'?
I don't want the school's reputation tainted.
He's only crap.
When Professor Fu taught in the secondary school...
... his advisor in university kept encouraging him to further his studies.
He even applied for scholarships for him.
Professor Fu said 'no' all along, claiming that he had a family to look after.
Then one day he suddenly changed his mind.
At first I thought it's a change of heart only.
But actually it was because...
... he couldn't even stay in an ordinary secondary school as a teacher.
It was so serious. He didn't tell anyone. He wanted people to get him wrong?
It isn't hard to understand.
First, he didn't want his family members to worry.
Second, like son, like father.
Neither wants to show his true feelings in anyone's presence.
Neither one would explain himself.
You're crazy.
You hit Koo Tsoi-yung the other day.
I could actually tell you cared about Professor Fu a lot.
What's the matter? Why take me here?
Of all the inexplicable campus stories, I like that of the time tunnel the best.
I see. After 10 p.m., if someone taps on your shoulder...
... you will see yourself when you turn aroud.
There's another version. When you turn, space-time changes suddenly.
You think it lasted a minute only. Actually three hours have passed.
If you saw yourself from seven years ago, what would you say to him?
Fu Chi-pok.
Have you found that old fool?
He often goes on the so-called field trip. He will disappear for days. For a week?
Is he hiding somewhere to write his thesis?
He will look after himself.
What? Voluntary search team? Why look for him?
He's been missing for a month.
He would have died already if something had happened.
I though his disappearance was temporary.
Thought I'd see him again after a couple of days.
Thought I'd see him next week, or next month.
I really thought I'd see him again very soon.
It's been seven years so soon. Seven years. So a man can really vanish that way.
Hong Kong Urban Folklores General Index.
The Bride's Pool Supernatural Incidents.
Botanical and Zoological Gardens Stone Lion Murder.
Yung Shu Tau Taboos.
Lo Mermaid.
Open the door.
You asked me to come at such a late hour. Don't tell me you're into me.
This is the thesis Hong Kong Urban Folklore that Professor Fu was working on.
But he went missing before he could finish it.
You asked me to come quickly to show me this?
It's very important to you. Take a look.
No, thanks. I never read his things.
Fu Chi-pok, turn to the preface. Read it aloud word by word. Fu Chi-pok!
Da-da-da!
Folklore studies focus on ethnography...
...which is in itself a form of historical and cultural inheritance with a long history.
History is inseparable from old people, old incidents, and old things.
Some old things in particular have special meanings.
Recently when I rearranged my old things, I found a very valuable pawn ticket.
Wing Sing Pawn Shop.
This isn't a real pawn ticket.
But it's related to my relationship with my son.
I study folkloristics. But my son hates history the most.
He denies the value of all old people, old incidents, and old things.
Someone said before that no one hates history.
He only hates his own history. He hates me.
I wasn't there for him. Still he grew up well.
He's even become a reporter that I'm proud of.
But sometimes I think if I didn't leave back then...
...and he didn't fail at school deliberately so as to rebel against me...
...his life could be completely different.
History is what it is.
There isn't a real time tunnel. It's impossible to change the past.
But folkloristics stresses inheritance.
It doesn't look backwards only. It also looks forward.
I want to leave something behind for my son.
So I've decided to record the folklore in Hong Kong.
Pawning a child happens...
...when parents worry that the child won't survive when growing up.
So they take the one-month old child to a pawn shop...
...so that the much cherished and beloved child...
...will be left to natural selection.
This way the child will become immune to malignant illnesses. He will grow fast.
Good baby. Okay.
God will grant you wisdom and good health. You will be nice to your parents.
Good boy.
Professor Fu treated me like a daughter.
Actually he was projecting on me his love for you.
He was nice to me as if he was being nice to you.
You're his regret all along.
If he knew you've put behind the past and picked up your education again...
...he'd feel so happy for sure.
Going to school only. Why would he feel so happy?
My observation as a folklorist tells me that you aren't so cold to Professor Fu.
You've worked breaking news for too long. You've faced too much life and death.
When you have to face the life and death of your own family member...
...you then do not know how to react.
Besides, Professor Fu has gone missing.
You don't even have a breaking point for your emotion.
Actually I don't have any sense of reality now.
Rituals of transition.
That's the language often used in folkloristics.
The transition ritual could be the lighting of lights when a baby's born,
...the coming-of-age ceremony for maturity,
...the wedding ceremony for marriage or the funeral for death.
Those rituals help the family members to transition their emotions.
You exactly lack that.
Why don't you and I work together...
...to finish this thesis of Hong Kong Urban Folklore...
...as a farewell ceremony to your dad?
Hong Kong Urban Folklore.
Why are there so many crows here so early in the morning?
Wow. There's a dead body!
This is Professor Fu's thesis outline.
It's his research topic before he went missing.
He's no longer here now. So I want to finish it for him.
Ching-sun, you're a freshman.
It's your first time working as a research assistant. Emily will guide you.
I will learn well from Emily.
$60 per hour. Not much.
Just deem it reimbursement of travelling expenses.
If you're dedicated, you will learn a lot.
I get paid. I can learn too. It's for my absolute benefit.
But there are so many topics.
There are the two of us only working on it. It will take really long.
No, there's Brother Late, too.
It's different as there's one more person.
I'm a pageboy only.
It isn't counted towards the grades. You two feel free to go ahead.
Okay. Cut the crap. Get down to business.
Look, there are so many stories. We need to solve them one by one.
First we'll start with the story of a banyan tree becoming a spirit.
What's your impression of banyan trees?
Hmm... Haruki Murakami and his book 'Norwegian Wood'.
Master Fu, how about you?
Yung Shu Tau.
Temple Street right next to it. Perfect for men.
Eew...
What? I'm talking about the food and beer at the street food stalls there.
What are you thinking of, artistic tutor?
You?
I don't want to say something wrong.
Have you guys ever heard of...
...the old banyan tree's story at Miu Kang Terrace in Wan Chai?
No.
It's said that in the early years of Hong Kong,
...there's a hundred-year old banyan tree in Miu Kang Terrace.
It often tricked the neighbors. One of them couldn't stand it anymore.
He then cut the old banyan tree with a knife. The tree bled.
That night the guy died mysteriously. There's stab wounds on his body.
Subsequently in a thunderstorm, the old banyan tree was hit by lightning.
A burning monster fell out from the tree.
On the day that followed, the neighbors found the old banyan tree burnt.
Right next to it was a completely burned object...
...that looked absolutely weird.
People believed it's a dead banyan spirit.
It had done so many bad things. It's a relief that it's dead.
The story didn't end there.
The story about banyan spirit carries on intermittently till 35 years ago...
...when a suspected suicide case on a banyan tree...
...happened in Banyan Village in the New Territories.
Committing suicide on a banyan tree. How's that relevant to the banyan spirit?
Professor Fu studied this case in his thesis.
He went in person to inspect the scene there.
He also talked to the villagers who witnessed the incident back then.
All the villagers said it wasn't suicide. The man was killed by the banyan spirit.
The villagers also said the tree's soaked in the blood from the dead body.
It became so sinister. Everyone in the village felt so scared.
For self-preservation, they worshipped the old banyan tree as if it's their god.
A thousand-year tree spirit?
You think it's like the granny in 'A Chinese Ghost Story'?
I want to know how it ended.
Don't know. That's all for Professor's materials.
It's like reading an unfinished novel.
You guys have dealt with the Bride's Pool incident...
...and the inexplicable incidents on-campus.
You know many a time people pass on vaguely the unspeakable secrets...
...in the form of stories and folklore.
It's done orally.
With the passage of time, there are many different versions.
It adds to their mysterious nature.
Like the additional teacher-student love affair version of the lotus pond story.
Right. To investigate a story,
...a folklorist must first negate the truthfulness of the story.
Then check the historical records of the past to find the source.
Then consider carefully the varied versions with the aid of psychology...
...so as to find out the real secrets behind the stories.
You want us to find out the truth...
...behind the banyan spirit killing people 35 years ago?
Professor Fu didn't resolve the mystery back then.
Now you will finish it as his son.
Don't put so much hope on me. You pay me $60 an hour only.
Thank you so much, Uncle Lam. You even show us around personally.
Don't mention it.
You guys are so interested in our Banyan Village.
You even come in persons to take a look.
There's a professor called... what's his name?
Fu Tung-ming?
Yes. You know him?
Yes. There are professors everywhere now. Several live below my apartment.
They know all technical stuff. I can introduce them to you.
Hey, let's talk about Professor Fu.
Okay.
He's very nice. He came here many times. He chatted happily with the villagers.
Subsequently the gentry Yik Yuen-kwong from the neighboring village...
...became his good friend.
He often came here as a guest.
But subsequently for some unknown reasons, he didn't come anymore.
You know him. How's he doing lately?
Nothing about him lately.
Hey, watch out.
Be careful. It rained heavily last night. The ground is still wet.
It's slippery. Be careful.
It isn't due to the rain. This guy is too weak only.
This place is called Banyan Village. How come there are so few banyan trees?
We planted many banyan trees here before.
Subsequently they were felled by the villagers one by one.
Then something bad happened.
Did someone hang himself on the tree?
The villagers say that tree can't be felled or they would die.
Now they even bring offerings to it on the first and fifteenth days every month...
...to worship it.
Uncle Lam, we're here to see that banyan tree.
Is it a bad time?
Not really. I'll take you all there.
Pal, why are you so cool to me? Bad mood? You look so sad?
I've brought the organic apple cider vinegar you like best.
Let's chat while we drink this together. Come on. Here.
Master Yik, you got the time to come with your pal?
Come on.
It's you?
What are you guys doing here?
We came here to see a ghost.
Really? Where? I want to join.
We're here to see the old banyan tree.
Old banyan tree?
Why are you here?
I live in the neighboring village.
I come here for a walk when I have free time.
Right. Master Yik is our good friend.
He comes to chat with the villagers and play with the kids when he's free.
Yik Sir, people usually call you 'sir'. Why does he call you 'Master' Yik?
Right. What does that mean?
It's a way of addressing people only.
I can call you Master Pok. You may call my pal, Master Dog.
Hey, pal. Let me introduce my friends to you.
This is Pok. Standing next to him is Dr. Poon.
The person next to her... Hey, you two introduce yourselves.
What's the matter? Shy?
Now you're communicating on behalf of earthlings...
...with someone from the canine planet.
What's he doing?
Animal communication.
So long as you can tune in the channel for communicating with animals,
...then human beings can communicate with them through the mind.
It's the same as New Age.
It stresses communication of the mind. Reconnect with mother nature.
Schrodinger's cat.
We're talking about dogs. You talk about cats?
Schrodinger's cat. A cat is placed in a sealed box.
Based on the principle of atomic decay probability,
...50% of the cat's already dead and 50% of it is still alive.
But until the box's opened, you don't know if it's dead or alive.
That means everything's possible before the truth is known.
Master Yik... this is bad.
The village head is in a hostile confrontation with the villagers.
He's called the police already. He wants you there to adjudicate.
Are you leaving?
No.
Go away.
No.
How long do you want to stay here?
I dare you to cut it. You work as the village head's dog?
What do you call me?
That's a gang fight.
Go away.
Who took photos?
Who did that?
Why did you take photos?
What are you shooting?
I'm sorry, Tai-yue. He's taking photos for me.
What happened? What's going on?
Master Yik, you're a cop. You should be the judge here.
Now the banyan tree got brown root rot disease.
If we don't fell it, it will infect and kill all the other trees.
The Tree Management Office came yesterday to get soil samples. Fungus was found.
Yet there isn't a confirmed diagnosis yet.
Right. You guys are taking action too soon.
You should wait till there's a confirmed diagnosis.
No, it's the safest to get rid of the tree.
Right. Safety can't allow any delay.
Master Yik, there isn't a confirmed diagnosis yet.
Even if it really gets brown root rot disease,
...it's still curable in the early stage.
These people came before dawn to fell the tree.
They're trying to make it a done deal without informing the villagers.
It's lucky I got wind of it.
I think you guys put the contaminated soil there.
What are you talking about? You want to fit us up?
I'm doing this in the villagers' interest only.
You're doing this for your own benefit only.
You're working with Miss Yik to develop this piece of land.
It so happens that this banyan tree is situated here.
You're exhausting all means to remove it...
...so that you may start the construction works sooner.
So it's related to the repossession of land.
It's mild to fell the tree only.
You're lucky that they haven't poured cement there.
I saw several such cases when I worked breaking news before.
It's part of the villagers' life. It's also their collective memory.
It has great value for conservation. So it mustn't be felled. Do you guys agree?
Right. Can't fell it.
Can't fell it.
Chow Wah-tik, don't ever think you can lead them to make trouble...
...just because you're a member of the concern group.
You aren't a villager here.
I'm the village head. I'm responsible for the development of the village.
You aren't allowed to lead the villagers astray.
The village head isn't above everyone.
What do you mean not above everyone?
Not above everyone.
How are you entitled to fell the tree?
All of you shut up.
Aunt Nam.
So, Yik Sir's family is the landlord.
Ming-yin, will I break the law if I insist on felling this tree?
The banyan tree is grown on the land belonging to our family.
Of course, it won't be against the law.
Good.
Village head, do it.
Hey, fell the banyan tree.
Go away. Don't get in the way.
Don't fell it.
Ching-sun.
Watch out.
I'm bleeding. I'm injured. My hand.
How are you?
Hey.
Wow, the banyan tree's bleeding.
Wow.
Sis To.
What's the matter, sir?
Please take the first-aid kit to the side chamber.
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh, Miss Nam.
Come with me.
Over here. Make yourselves at home.
I need to wash my hands, okay? Have a seat.
Okay.
It's a minor abrasion only. Is such a fuss necessary?
Why did you cry so loudly then?
Did you hear how that woman called Yik Sir just now? 'Sir'.
Don't know if they're doing this on purpose.
You think he's a young and rich master in a TV drama?
Hey, there aren't characters on the spirit tablet?
Village head, how's the situation?
That guy Chow Wah-tik is really way too much.
He and the villagers shielded the banyan tree with screens...
...lest we would damage it again.
I don't care what they do. We'll just get rid of them.
I don't want to see that tree there two days from now.
Okay. Done.
Thank you, Yik Sir.
It's a minor abrasion only. You've dressed it like he's doing boxing?
I'm just a bit rusty. You criticize me then?
Do you mind if I dress your leg too?
What?
If you need practice, do it with the tree.
Right. The tree bled a lot. It hurts for sure.
Is that real blood? Do we need to test it?
It's different from human blood. Can't tell it's real or not.
It's already a mystery that the banyan tree bleeds.
It bled 35 years ago. Now it happens again.
Because it saw you today. You're so hot.
You messed with the tree. It's said that it bled.
Dad, don't listen to what people say. How would a tree bleed?
The tree has cancer. Perhaps its sap has changed color.
You don't believe in that since you studied abroad.
What if the feng shui formation is ruined when you fell the old tree,
...not to mention the tree spirit?
Feng shui is something subjective.
How can we allow the tree to hinder our development project?
We could make billions of dollars from the project.
If the feng shui formation is affected, it can't be compensated by money.
No problem can't be solved with money.
You set the feng shui formation back then for making money, too.
You... you're a bad daughter. I...
Hey, the storm has blown over. Can we go home now?
Let's go.
Grandpa, they are my friends.
His hands hurt. So I took him home for treatment.
Really? They don't look like your colleagues in the police.
Let me introduce them. This is Dr. Poon Doh-lai.
She's a professor in the Department of Folklore.
The rest of them are her students.
Hello. My name is Yik Yuen-kwong.
Hello, I'm Professor Fu Tung-ming's student.
I see.
I was told that he's your good friend.
Is that right?
He came here several years ago for field trips.
I don't have any recollection.
He often came to your home. You don't remember it? You have dementia?
Grandpa, he's Pok. He talks fouler than me.
Sorry for disturbing you for so long. We'll head on.
Yin, see the guests out the village.
Okay.
Let's go.
There's a low pressure trough in your home. I need some fresh air.
Sorry.
Yik Sir, your grandpa and aunt often fight that way?
Usually it isn't that rowdy.
But this time it's about the banyan tree. So...
That old banyan tree is a feng shui tree? I thought it's about the banyan spirit only.
Who says a banyan spirit can't be a feng shui tree?
True. There isn't any conflict.
Well, what's the use of that feng shui tree?
Your grandpa told your aunt that the feng shui formation is very important.
Hey, pal? I know you love biting things.
But you shouldn't bite everything you see or...
...they will catch you. It will be bad then.
I'll keep watch for you. Bite for a while, okay? Carry on.
How long?
Just a while. Your home isn't faraway.
I'm not talking about that.
I mean you ran them to the MTR station on purpose...
...so that there's only you and me now.
We can talk freely.
Sensible deduction.
But Yik Sir's grandpa doesn't make sense at all.
Uncle Lam said he's a good friend of my dad's.
Why did he say just now that he has no recollection?
As I say, what's hidden is more important than what's revealed.
When I interview people in my capacity as a reporter...
...I know the interviewee feels guilty once they become suddenly quiet.
So is your friend Yik Sir.
Once we talked about the banyan tree and the feng shui formation...
...he tried to brush us off immediately.
You knew him long ago. How much do you know about his family?
I only knew he lived in the New Territories.
I didn't even know he lived in that neighborhood.
I didn't know he had an aunt and a grandpa at all.
I'm better then.
You've met my older brother and younger sister. You know where I live.
You know the way to run me home, too.
How will men ask about those things?
Besides, he and I are snitches for each other only. We use each other only.
I understand that reporters are good at investigating.
I pay you $60 an hour. You must do something for me, right?
You want me to check his family background? Okay. But I need overtime pay.
Hey, dinner's ready. What are you watching?
Shush...
'It's a battle between nature and human beings.'
It's a special live broadcast of Supernatural 101.
'I can feel...'
Let's eat.
Hey, stop it.
I feel much grievance from the Banyan Village behind me.
I, Dali Swami, will take you through communications with the spirits.
Aura detection rod. It detects the extraordinary aura around.
Look, there's some unusual force behind me.
Ahhh!
Hey!
Who are you?
Hello, Dali Swami. I'm a super fan of your Supernatural Investigation Team.
My friend, you will get killed easily trespassing in the spiritual world.
This is really dangerous.
I'm not worried since you're here, Swami.
I'm from the neighboring village.
Once I learned that you're broadcasting live here...
...I came over immediately. Hello.
Pan back at me.
Okay.
What's in your case?
When I learned that you guys would come here...
...I brought all my exploration gear to learn from you.
Wow.
You're really well prepared.
His rod is bigger than yours, Swami.
This looks so high-tech. What is it?
Electromagnetic field detector.
It can detect the entire universe...
...including the weakest changes in the electromagnetic fields of Nano space.
Okay. Don't touch it. Put it away.
My friend, you will cross into the spiritual world easily...
...if you mess with the magnetic fields randomly. Did you know that?
You're right, Swami.
So, should I give the tools to you?
Am I such a greedy person? Bala...
Yes?
Keep them.
Okay.
Lest there will be danger.
Thank you.
Come with me.
Thank you, Swami!
Stop. I feel the old banyan tree ahead surrounded by some strong energy.
You're really an express train for the spiritual world.
What did the banyan spirit want to say earlier?
Is it because the ignorant human beings have offended the holy earth...
...so that the latter wants to give mankind a warning?
Ahhh!
Mom, the banyan spirit.
Help!
What shall we do, Swami?
Banyan spirit?
Swami, where has the banyan spirit gone?
I've been practicing animal communication recently.
I wonder if we could use animals...
Hush. Give it to me. The spirit shows itself to warn people.
It's left behind a mark of the massive spiritual aura.
Swami, look.
What happened? You were attacked by someone?
Not by human beings. The banyan spirit did it.
What? Hey.
The medical exam shows he's injured all over.
It's like someone took revenge against this guy Lau Tai-yue.
You remember the story about the old banyan tree at Miu Kang Terrace?
Someone cut it. Then it cut the person in retaliation.
Was it done by human beings or the tree? Dr. Poon, what do you think?
Yik Sir, you're a cop. You asked me that?
You're looking for help?
We pay much in taxes. Now you ask us to do your job?
Are cops exempted from paying tax?
Produce your tax demand note. See who's paying more.
Come to my home to get it then. Let's go get it now.
Talk about the main point.
I didn't come here in my capacity of a cop today.
I'm asking you guys in my capacity as Yik Ming-yin.
My grandpa says something bad will happen if we fell the banyan tree.
But my aunt says it's got nothing to do with the banyan spirit.
Honestly, I really don't know how to stop them from quarreling at home.
You're asking for help. You don't even treat us to an orange.
You've shown no sincerity at all.
You want an orange?
Yes.
Come with me to buy it then.
No need for oranges.
Tell me honestly about the feng shui formation.
Why is your grandpa so worried?
I only know the banyan tree is part of the feng shui formation.
Grandpa got richer due to it. But he won't tell me any details.
The feng shui formation sounds solid.
He's your grandpa. He won't tell you? He's so selfish?
He hinted at it before. He said the formation's really wicked.
Better to have no knowledge of it.
Anyway he will clam up once I mention the feng shui formation.
He won't talk further about it.
If your grandpa finds it so wicked, why didn't he remove it?
You think I haven't asked him that question?
He says you can't remove a feng shui formation casually once it's set.
There's no turning back when something's done.
It sounds more like a curse than a feng shui formation.
Your aunt wants to fell the banyan tree for the sake of developing the land.
Isn't she afraid of it?
She studied abroad. She doesn't believe in feng shui.
She will even tear down the ancestral hall, let alone the feng shui tree.
Your grandpa is the man of the family.
If he exercises his authority, your aunt gets no say.
Yes, he's the man of the family.
But he's already handed over the business to my aunt.
He's promised not to interfere with it.
It's hard to deal with these New Territories guys.
Your aunt is a woman.
If people think someone's making the final decisions behind her...
...she will get no status at all.
So you're in a difficult position being caught between them?
I'm not afraid of being caught between them.
I'm afraid of becoming Schrodinger's cat, either dead or alive.
Never mind it's because of the banyan spirit...
...or the damage to the feng shui formation.
If your aunt fells the tree and gets...
...attacked like Lau Tai-yue, it won't be good.
What's hidden is more important than what's revealed.
It appears that there are some unspeakable secrets behind the feng shui formation.
Yik Sir, the feng shui formation isn't confined to the banyan tree only, right?
Negative energy. Very strong negative energy.
Full of life, full of destructive power.
Swami, please see if my family's ancestral tomb...
...is surrounded by the negative energy.
Swami, you say you are a believer in New Age.
You dabble in feng shui and tombs too?
Everything in the world is related.
That's right. All the different schools of kung fu are basically the same.
Shut up if you are ignorant.
Right. Don't need to classify in detail. All of us are earthlings.
Don't listen to him.
He ran a stall in Temple Street even when he was under-age.
He learns all the trendy things.
First fortune telling, then feng shui, then horoscopes and tarot cards.
Recently he's into New Age. He's doing this for making money only.
If so, why do you come to assist me, princess?
You respect your job though it's for making a living only.
You're diligent, too.
Exactly. Swami is really eager to learn.
Wise observation.
Swami, please come over here.
Don't touch it.
Money buried in the soil. There's both fortune and misfortune.
The formation isn't confined to this tiny pile of stones.
There should be more around. Let's find them.
Hey, how about this one?
Don't touch it.
Blood between the eyebrows. Inviting the demon into the formation.
Don't mumble to yourself. What's happening?
Some witchcraft practitioner painted human blood on the figurine's forehead...
...to set the demon fortune formation.
It has changed the magnetic field here to invite the demon to this place.
Now the evil spirits from all over the place have gathered here.
The beneficiary could twist the magnetic field here...
...in the shortest possible time...
...so as to grab good luck and make his wishes come true.
So amazing? I want to try that, too.
Don't ever try that.
Such an unorthodox feng shui formation for getting rich fast...
...is actually betting on one's life. You need to make repayment.
Of course you need to make repayment when you borrow money.
It's like paying an agent. It's like borrowing from Guanyin.
You need to make repayment.
You don't make repayment with money. You pay with your life.
