Parallel World (2023) 西出玉门 Episode 16 Recap & Review
Episode 16: Mysterious past events spread in Loess City
Ding Liu didn’t react at first, until he saw the figure clearly reflected in the car window, with a knife handle above his head. He lost all his strength and was about to collapse. Gao Shen almost rushed over and hugged Ding Liu. The group of people drove to the nearby Huangtucheng and eagerly inquired about the location of the hospital. It was more like a dilapidated health clinic than a hospital, and the medical facilities were very backward.
After a doctor’s examination, he believed that Ding Liu’s brain damage was very serious and the situation was critical and the knife handle needed to be removed. However, he was not sure enough and suggested that everyone should go to Black Rock City. However, the journey to Black Rock City is far away and takes about three or four days. There is no time at all. The doctor reluctantly agreed to arrange the operation immediately after pleading deeply. The worst result could be from mild to severe, coma, aphasia, partiality or even… die.
Fat Tang’s eyes were injured and unable to open, and he was still sitting in the passenger seat. Ye Liuxi and Changdong pulled the sickly man out of the trunk, sealed his mouth with tape and threw him into a small shabby room. Zhenshanhe hadn’t woken up yet, and Feitang was worried that it would be frightened to death by the giant scorpion. Ye Liuxi sprayed it with a mouthful of water, and it immediately jumped to life.
Fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and the doctor successfully removed the knife handle. It was still in the critical period, and it all depends on Ding Liu whether he wakes up next. The doctor helped to check Feitang’s eyes and said that he was fine and just needed more exposure to the sun. Ye Liuxi didn’t know how to comfort Gao Shen. He sat in the backyard and stared at the moonlight in a daze, and suddenly understood Changdong’s feelings of losing his lover and friend.
Later, Ye Liuxi and Changdong went to the shabby house to question why the sickly man attacked them. The sickly man truthfully confessed that he was greedy because of his fancy on the iron train and supplies. The sickly man really didn’t expect that Chang Dong’s group actually had guns. He lamented that even the scorpion-eyed leader Jiang Zhan didn’t have such a thing. Ye Liuxi wanted to kill the sickly man. Changdong didn’t want to kill anyone, so he decided to lock him up first. In a broken house.
That night, Ye Liuxi dreamed of her parents being killed. The murderer was Yan Zhong, and at the critical moment, a golden scorpion came out to save her. When I woke up, the house was already full of sunshine, and the whole city was khaki, which was particularly dazzling. Gao Shen stayed by the bedside the whole time, with bloodshot eyes and stubble on his chin. He looked at Ding Liu affectionately and intently, hoping that she would wake up soon.
Changdong checked the map near Huangtucheng, took Ye Liuxi to the market to buy gasoline, and entered a store with a corridor full of mirrors. Every time someone passed by, an animal shape would appear in the mirror. Ye Liuxi took a fancy to a good knife. It was all black, with a bright blade. The handle was made of the same material as the blade, and it looked like it was made of several twisted vines that grew naturally on the blade.
Because this knife is the treasure of the store, the store owner will not sell it easily unless Changdong trades his watch. Ye Liuxi knew that Changdong’s watches were valuable and were limited editions even outside the customs, let alone within the customs, so she decisively rejected the shop owner’s suggestion.
The two of them didn’t buy gasoline, so they sat at the tea stall to think of other solutions. Changdong ran to exchange his watch for a knife on the pretext of going to the toilet. Ye Liuxi saw this scene and was very moved. In order to make Ye Liuxi accept the knife, Changdong told Ye Liuxi that he could use this knife to protect everyone’s safety. Sure enough, Ye Liuxi took the knife and looked at the blade carefully.
While drinking tea, Chang Dong and Ye Liuxi heard their neighbors whispering to each other, discussing that the people with scorpion eyes had suffered a defeat in Loess City this time and would definitely be severely punished when they returned. Some of them held different views. They felt that Jiang Zhan was deeply scheming and must be deliberately trying to attack the East. The outside world had already rumored that he had sneaked into Black Rock City. I was afraid that there would be another beast-headed rebellion after a thousand years.
Ye Liuxi’s face was heavy after hearing this. Apparently, these people thought that the animal head should be the animal-headed yellow sheep. As expected, the tea guest next to him retorted that his family had contacted Silver Snake, and the animal-headed yellow sheep had not appeared at all.
After the beast-headed leader Li Wangdong was eradicated by the alchemists and the Yulin Guards, the treasured beast-headed yellow sheep mysteriously disappeared and its whereabouts are still unknown. It is rumored that there will be chaos if the beast-headed yellow sheep appears again.
Changdong deliberately asked the tea guests about the relationship between the scorpion eyes and the beast heads. Everyone felt that the two organizations were very similar and had the same purpose.
On the way back, Changdong asked Ye Liuxi if he had hidden the animal-headed yellow sheep. Before Ye Liuxi could react, he immediately remembered leaving it in the car. Feitang’s eyes had improved. While Ye Liuxi went out to look for the beast-headed yellow sheep, he secretly went to look at the new knife she brought back, but was caught by Ye Liuxi and Changdong.
