[English subtitles are available.] Ji, I’m sorry! I was watching him, but he vanished before my eyes, as if he was possessed. Is it really haunted here? Ghost brought us to the place where he lost. He doesn’t want to defeat us. He’s trying to reveal who the sinner is. It is you who cheated.
Ghost! I am here to compete, not to play charades with you. Are you man enough to settle this one-on-one? If I lose, you may take my life. Since this is my invitational, as a reward, I accept your challenge. Same to all of you. You kill me, and I’ll let you all go free.
Otherwise, everyone here will die with you. [All warfare is based on deception. When able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive. From The Art of War Illustrated by Sun Tze.] Yes, this is still the same show. Detective Chinatown.
It looks different because we are now the protagonists. Who are we? You’ll find out if you keep watching. I just wanna say this. As long as we are here, everything will be different. [Detective Chinatown: Ghost Invitational] Wait! Man, can we stop running? I might die from running,
Before we even find the guy. This is the only way out. Go or not? I’ll go, but can you give me… Shut up then. Wait for me. The gas is here! Go! Halt! That was scary. Didn’t even get a glimpse of it. This isn’t human. It really is a ghost. Over here.
What is it? It’s the final safe zone. Wait. Lao K! There will only be one winner. That’s me. How many times have I told you? Watch your back. We won. [Noda Koji] [Ghost Invitational] [Ghost Invitational] So? It’s over. It’s working. It’s time for me to save you all. Does anyone know
Which countries’ police department we should call? We are Chinese Police from Taiwan. We are here to rescue you. Please keep calm. It’s finally over. A joint operation by multiple countries? We’re in international waters. Anyone can take charge, but nobody can do anything. It’s mainly because of our special status. Search the entire venue.
Find the bodies. Every inch, every corner. Koji, you are now Rise Again’s best player! You won the championship without killing anybody, how did you do that? It might be because… I’m a genius. I’m Miyata from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. I’m here to escort you back.
We’re grateful to the Thai Police and Chinese Police for their support. We’re closer to Thai territorial waters, so I’d like to invite you to go to Thailand and assist us with the investigation. Due to the particularities of this case and victims all being Taiwanese, we hope you all
Will come back with us to Taiwan, China to assist in the investigation. You can also refuse… What did you just say? Taiwan. Say it again. Taiwan! Louder! Taiwan, China! Taiwan’s spicy hotpot is delicious! Beef noodles. Rice with braised pork. So… Why not? [Taiwan, China] Get up! What are you doing? Stop talking.
Da Tou, food is here. Thank you. I don’t believe it. I won’t lose it to you again. One more. Sixteen losses in a row? Koji, you’d better give up. Who is this “Happy Girl”? Seems you’ve been very patient playing with her for so long. The game isn’t what’s important. The players are.
We’ve told them everything we know. How long do we need to wait? Huh? We agreed on spicy hotpot, beef noodle and rice with braised pork. And you treat us as your prisoners? Don’t worry, they can’t hold us for too long. The real suspects are next door. I was drunk at the time,
I hit him but I didn’t kill him, okay? You’re gonna believe me or him? Officer, I’m telling the truth, okay? It doesn’t make sense that I’d kill my brother. I beg you! I know, we all look like suspects. But it wasn’t me… I was so afraid that… So it’s pretty obvious,
The one who killed Ji is either Big Goose or Diao Delong. Whoever did it, I feel horrible. We’ve been looking for Ji for five years, but we never expected this. Okay. If you have nothing more to add, please sign here, then you may leave. Thank you, officer. Coach! Please tell the police,
I didn’t kill anyone. It was Diao! Diao killed him, not me! You still want to frame me, don’t you? You should ask them to lock you up for a long time. Because when you get out, Ji will find you and get his revenge! Coach, I’m innocent! From beginning to end,
I haven’t done anything. You fixed the match and killed Ji. You haven’t done enough? Let’s go! Okay, I admit I fixed the match. I was wrong, I’m sorry. But why would I kill anyone? Coach! Please! I don’t want to end up like Lord C and Boss! Help me talk to them, Coach! Move!
Get down! The officer is attacking me! Get down! Coach! Chong Jin… What is it? Why is the power off? This is so creepy. I heard those people in there had even creepier experiences. The way they were killed, is exactly how they died in the game. Did they bring some supernatural things back here?
[The Detention Room] Anyone there? Why are the lights off? Turn the lights on. What the hell? Are you stupid? [The Detention Room] Did you hear me? Goose? Help! Will you shut up? I’m sorry. Stop scaring people, okay? You’re still shouting? What are you scared of? I’ve seen scarier things! No, no.
Help me! Someone? Save me! Help! Stop shouting! [Mysterious death during the Ghost Invitational] Hello, audience. We are currently at the Linyuan Precinct of Kaohsiung Bureau. [Today’s news] Former professional Esports players who were arrested last night under suspicion of murder, Li Chang’e and Diao Delong, were found dead in the detention room.
As you can see, there’s a crowd of onlookers and reporters at the scene. We can see the bodies being put in the back of the van. Police haven’t disclosed any details of their deaths. But at the moment, it’s astonishing that they died in a heavily guarded police station.
Now we will take you back to the studio. Master Hongjue, What’s your take on the murders last night at the police station? There was an unusual sign in the sky last night, that a ghost that wrongfully died wants revenge. We have reported on many paranormal events. But this was the first occurrence
Inside a police station. If it’s as you said that a ghost seeks revenge, what can we do to appease it? You can’t reason with it. It won’t stop until it gets its revenge. This ghost dared to kill inside a police station, so it must hold a lot of resentment.
So what you mean is that there’s nothing we can do to appease it? Not exactly. Buddhists use cremation for their death rites, because they fear the souls will be trapped in their bodies, therefore unable to be reincarnated. So we could try to cremate this vengeful ghost’s physical body and it’ll perish.
You wanted me? I’m here. I came to send you off. I came to send you off. Your coach is here. It’s alright. I’ll send you off. I’ll cremate your body. Ji, move on. Ji please go now, okay? You finally came, Coach. Ji, I’m so sorry. Ji, I’m so sorry.
Please let me go, I beg you. I’m sorry. Then why didn’t you spare my life? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry. I, I never wanted it to be like this. You’ve already punished them. You already took them with you. Please leave me be. I will read sutra to you every day.
I’ll help you reincarnate. I’m begging you. Please leave me be. Begging Ji is useless. You should be begging me. You? Why are you here? I can’t stand your bullshit any longer. You… Why are you screwing me? I’m not screwing with you. I’ve been looking for Ji. Now I found him.
Do you know how I started to suspect you? Over here. What is it? It’s the final safe zone. You knew where the gas circle would be, which was impossible, because five years ago in the game, nobody even reached that point. [The final match] [The final match] It only means
You cheated by hacking the map. You were also involved in the match-fixing. How many times have I told you? Watch your back. And your words when you killed Ghost, they reminded me of Ji’s death. So I asked a special friend to help me investigate the betting records from the match five years ago.
You’re right. Lao K also bet 1.2 million dollars through an underground dealer. Looks like he’s also a suspect. 1.2 million must be all of his savings. Of course, it’s not all your savings. The 1.2 million dollars also includes the 700 thousand you borrowed from a loan shark.
It’s impossible for you to pay it back. And for the match, all bets were on H5. Tyrant’s payout was as high as 1:2.5. Such rewards could push people to take risks. Even insane risks. Alright, now tell me. How did you kill Ji? I was planning to cheat. I knew H5 was hopeless.
I took the map to convince them to cheat with me. Who would have thought? I happened to overhear the conversation between Boss and Diao. So you can’t make money now, do you seriously expect to earn more in the future? Wake up. The money from this one time,
Is equivalent to what you would make in the next five years. One-time deal, once and for all. You help us, you help yourself. The choice is quite obvious. Then you tell us, will he agree to this? Leave him to me. Since they had decided to fix the match, then…
After the game ended, I wanted to make sure everything was alright. So I waited at the door of the pub. I followed them to the abandoned internet café, and saw Diao attack Ji. Why did you hit him? Search… search for it. No. Hurry! Let’s go! Ji, Ji, Ji. Are you okay? Coach.
Can you stand up? Come up. Here, sit. Let me see, put your head down. Doesn’t look good. I’m taking you to the hospital. Ji, you really recorded it, didn’t you? Where’s the recording? Why do you ask this? We’ve been together for so many years. Do you really want to ruin them?
Just drop it as a favor for me, okay? You’re part of this too, aren’t you? Just like them, you bet on Tyrant, didn’t you? I didn’t. You didn’t? With your experience, and familiarity with H5, it’s impossible that you didn’t know they were cheating. But you didn’t point it out, which means
You’re also involved. Ji. Everyone’s lying to me. Where are you going, Ji? Ji, are you really going to report us? Ji, Ji, Ji. Alright! I confess. I made a mistake, I made a bet. But no one knows. Everybody knows that you wouldn’t cheat for money, so nobody told you.
So can you please help me? Ji, I bet everything I had on this round. I’ll be screwed if you report us. Can you help me, please? Please? I don’t get it. Is money this important to you? Of course it’s important. You are a genius, you wouldn’t understand.
You could prove yourself in the game. But the rest of us are just ordinary people. I just want to live a better life. I am old. I can’t just play games my whole life, you know? Right. To live a better life, you have to cheat and fix matches?
I just want a better life. Am I wrong? Am I so wrong? It’s just a game. Can we stop taking it so seriously? Can we? A game? Life is just a game, so should I take it seriously? If you mean what you said, you don’t deserve to be an Esports player.
If I’m not an Esports player, what am I? I taught you. I trained you. I let you surpass me. I made you a god. If I’m not an Esports player, then what am I? You’re just a cheat. Ji… Diao Ge? Ji? Are you still there? It wasn’t me who hit you… Help me!
If that night, he hadn’t been so stubborn, if he had left me a little bit of hope, things wouldn’t turn out like this. Stubborn? What kind of people did Ji surround himself with? Hopeless gambler Diao, greedy Big Goose, Xiao Fei who’s unwilling to be the substitute,
And you, who pretend to be good to others. Everyone is out for themselves. It’s all of you. You all pushed him little by little, closer to death. So, you’re here to avenge Ji, right? But, you had Lord C, Boss, Xiao Fei, Diao and Big Goose all killed. So you’re just like me.
You too are a murderer. He’s not like you! You… you’re all alive… Impossible… I saw it with my own eyes… Don’t believe everything you see. Let me think, where should I start? Sir, you have a guest. Around a month ago, a gorgeous girl called Kiko visited me. A case! What case?
I didn’t expect the man they asked me to find would be the gaming hero that I worshiped, Ghost Ji. And the old lady in front of me was Ji’s mother. Ji has been missing for five years. The doctors say I only have one month to live at most.
I just want to know where my child is, before I leave this world. Is he dead or alive? Please help an old lady like me to fulfill my last wish. Please. To crack an old disappearance case from five years ago is not easy. But using my genius deduction skills,
I knew the suspect could only be one of you. Luckily, my ancestor, Sun Tzu, had one strategy among his 36 strategies. “Deceive the heavens to cross the ocean.” It inspired me to organize the Ghost Invitational. Fortunately, Ji’s friends were very concerned about him, and everyone was willing to do their bit.
For the big show, there were many things to prepare. First of all, the location. Props. Actors. What’s happening? You guys can you speak up a bit? It’s a bomb! It’s a real bomb! The sinner Ghost keeps mentioning, what’s that about? Mommy, save me! Unavoidable special effects and special make-up. Bombs!
But the most important part, was the “bait-and-switch” from the 36 strategies. We remodeled a Ghost Ji. Thanks to the greatest hacker in Asia, Kiko. Of course, all of this must be supported by everyone’s brilliant acting skills. I’m not scared, I’m not the sinner. Lord C, Boss, aren’t you all dead?
Why are you all here? I watched you die… No time to explain. What? It’s almost your turn. What are you putting on my head? A blood squib. Xiao Fei, you can see we’re not dead. Now get into character. We owe it to Ji. It’s time to do something for him.
Xiao Fei wasn’t part of the match-fixing, but the fact that he was willing to commit suicide, ruled him out for us. Do you want to know the cause of Ji’s death? Suicide. Ji, I’m sorry! We were impressed by Xiao Fei’s remarkable acting. Then our targets were narrowed down to Diao and Big Goose.
So we set the second test when we entered the police station. After all the scare tactics, Diao and Big Goose maintained they hadn’t killed Ji. That made me realize that, the killer, must be you. Then what about the TV programs? And the news online? They were all made for you.
And this was the crucial part of our plan. In order to make you lead us to Ji. Master Hongjue, What’s your take on the murders last night at the police station? There was an unusual sign in the sky last night, that a ghost that wrongfully died wants revenge.
Buddhists use cremation for their death rites. So we could try to cremate this vengeful ghost’s physical body and it’ll perish. So all of that was fake? All fake. You bastards think you’re making a movie? Koji… “All warfare is based on deception.” Movies or games, as long as we play honestly,
We can change the world. This wasn’t about how well I directed this, nor how good their performances were, it is because… Bro, there’s a ghost in your heart. Ji, I’m sorry… Koji, thank you. I can finally rest after five years of heartache. It’s our fault.
If it weren’t for our greed five years ago, this tragedy would never have happened. Life is just a game, so should we take it seriously? Ji said it well. In my opinion, take it seriously. Go all in, go all out. Not just for something particular, but for every moment of our life,
We take ourselves seriously. Only by living like that will it not be in vain. It’s just a game, can we stop taking it so seriously? Life is just a game, so should I take it seriously? This is what I understand to be the Spirit of Esports. Koji, what should I do?
I love you even more now. Check this out, Koji. How many times have I told you? I don’t accept random cases. The check, Mr. Detective. Shit. It’s that much? You said, “at all costs”. It’s okay. Take my Swiss Marvin Watch to pay the bill. This was really fun.
What can we do for fun later? It’s almost dawn, let’s go visit someone. Let me guess, your card game friend, Happy Girl? Happy Girl, I’m here to see you. Naughty boy, you know what? Qin Feng is much better than you at the game. You’re Qin Feng? You know me?
You and that Tang Ren, Tang… Tang something group, overtook Noda Hiroshi, that piece of shit, and got promoted to the second place on Crimaster, right? Anyone of Noda’s enemies is a friend of mine. Noda Hiroshi? You are? I’m Liu Feng Liu as in Liu, Feng as in Qin Feng.
He is Noda Koji. Noda Hiroshi’s little brother. Noda Hiroshi’s little brother? Interesting relationship. Do you know, how is it that you are No.2 on Crimaster? It’s because we are not on that game! What are you doing here? I’m a fan of Ji. I heard about the case,
So I came to visit his mom. Ji’s fans are all so remarkable. So Koji, have you found Ji? Of course! How could I not? Ma’am, have a look. Those are all from Ji. He has been so selfish. He went to so many places in the world, the North Pole and Africa.
He’s too busy playing to say hi to you. Qin Feng, look! It’s Ji. It’s my Ji. Incorrect light shadow ratio, and depth relation is wrong too. It has obviously been photo-shopped. Ma’am, I meant they enhanced the pictures with some photoshop effects. But it is Ji. No doubt. It’s Ji. Yes. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Ma’am, actually, Ji has been thinking about you. It’s just where he’s now doesn’t have any phone reception. But he recorded a voice message for you. Mom, I’m sorry. Forgive me for being a bad son. I’m just having so much fun,
That I don’t have time to be with you. I know you’ve been thinking about me. In fact, I’m always thinking about you too. Mom, don’t worry. I’m doing good out here. I have been to many places over the past few years. I went to the African Savanna, took pictures with zebras and lions,
Raced with giraffes at sunset. I also went to Antarctica, saw those adorable penguins and beautiful glaciers. And I’ve been to the Sahara too. The life and death of a mortal seem so insignificant against the immensity of the universe. Take every moment of your life as eternity.
Does this remind you of your mom? Mrs. Noda Masako, who’s always not there. Thank you. Rise Again used to be my favorite game. Two more minutes before the server shuts down. Let’s go and have a look. [Sleep deep here. Rest in peace. To Sniper Ji. ]
[The world is always changing, the only constant is time.] Ladies and gentlemen! Coming up next is the most exciting moment! The winner of the first Ghost Cup Performance Award for Best Actress is Lu Jingjing. Me? Thanks to the committee for giving me the first best actress award in my life.
This is my finest affirmation and inspiration. Even though I’m still new to acting, this award, strengthens my faith… strengthens my faith… strengthens my faith in the future. Maybe I’ll quit my family’s mafia business, and focus on the noble art of acting. What a touching acceptance speech! Next, we will present
The most important prize tonight. Best Actor. Who will be the one? It is he, who used his impeccable perfect acting bringing together the operation and leading Lao K to the final confession and bringing him to justice. He’s the Best Actor tonight, Spectator A! Spectator A, with his ferocious expressions, twisted body language
And visible torment, he presented us the outpouring pain of an ordinary person experiencing an electric shock. He deserves the title of Best Actor tonight! Thank you to the committee. Thank you, Ghost Invitational. Although I’m new… I sincerely… sincerely… Love you all! Not fair! It’s not fair. There is a backroom deal. Backroom deal!
What deal? Don’t think because you’re the director and investor, it means you have the best acting. Okay? Please respect the performing art. Get off me! Guys, my acting wasn’t good enough? My acting wasn’t good enough? It’s just okay, to be honest. There were a few times that I really didn’t like it. Agreed.
I feel you weren’t putting in enough effort. The stylized acting didn’t work out for you. You should try Stanislavski’s experimentalism. You are just jealous of me. Jingjing, you’re fair. Koji, This time I can’t be on your side. Your acting… is a bit stiff… There were several times… it was even a little bit…
Greasy. Next time, I will act better to show you all. Just wait and see!
