I saw the mirror merchant!
He was in Chungking Garden. You're a feng shui master, aren't you? That means you have to help him!
You can enter Chungking Garden from the side of my parents' shop, but don't tell anyone I told you.
If you-know-who finds out that I was around Chungking Garden, I'll get in biiig trouble!
俺、鏡屋、見たんだ。
重慶花園（チョンキンガーデン）の中にいた。あんた、風水師だろ、だったら助けなきゃ。
重慶花園にはうちの店の脇から入るんだ…ねえ、この話、俺が教えたってこと、内緒だよ…
あいつらの耳にはいると、ひどい目に遭わされるから…
Don't tell anyone I told you, but the mirror merchant is inside of Chungking Garden!
鏡屋は重慶花園の中だよ…俺が教えたってこと、内緒だよ。
Good! You found the mirror merchant! If you can do that, I bet you can also get rid of that creepy doll deeper inside of Chungking Garden!
鏡屋助けたんだって、すごいなあ。だったらさ、へんちくりんな人形の化け物もやっちまってくれよ。そいつも重慶花園にいたんだ。
Yuck! It's that creepy doll! If you ask me, all of the bad stuff going on has to be that thing's fault! I bet it's also what locked the mirror mer... Okay, maybe not, but... still!
いただろ、気味の悪い人形。俺、みんなあいつのせいじゃないかって思うんだ。鏡屋を捕まえたのも、きっとあいつだよ、…違うかなあ。
You know, that doll reminded me of this one time when the mercury dealer got spooked by an apparition.
He must've thought the apparition looked like his dead little sister.
そうだよ、人形で思い出したことがあるんだ。幽霊さ。幽霊見たやつがいるんだ。
死んだ妹の幽霊を見たらしい…たしか水銀屋だったと思う。
The mercury dealer is acting awfully skiddish lately. I wonder why...
水銀屋のやつ、妙に怯えちまって…それであんなになったんだ。
The mercury dealer's sister got sick, so to help her, he rubbed mercury all over her body.
In ancient times, even emperors revered mercury as a precious medicine, but a lot of people died after drinking it.
水銀屋の妹は病気だったんだ。それを治すためにあいつ、水銀を妹の体中に塗ったんだよ。
昔は水銀が貴重な薬だったんだろ、皇帝とかさ、みんな飲んで死んじまったんだよね。
Hey! I just heard that you're looking for the Three Corpses right now. You should check any closed stores! I bet the malice inside those merchants got repulsed by the returning qi flow. Makes sense, right? I thought so too!
聞いたよ、聞いたよ、あんた三尸捕まえに来たんだって？店じまいしてるところが怪しいかもね。あいつら気脈が戻り始めたら、とたんに引っ込んじまった…なぁ、怪しいだろ？
Where did the Three Corpses come from?
それにしても、三尸なんてさぁ、どこから来たんだろう？
Hey, it's me again. Did the peeled shrimp come in handy? I've decided to continue the business. Or, well, start it over from scratch... Life is long, and compared to those who disappeared, I'm in a good place.
よう、俺だよ、剥きえびは役に立ったかい？俺、こっちで商売することにした…いちからやり直しさ。人生、長いからな、消えてしまったやつらに比べるとまだよかったほうだよ。
Glad I found you! Awful things happened while you were gone.
Half of the district went "poof"! Half of Lung Shing Road is gone!
Our district linked up with another district, and my family's shop vanished in the process! It was terrifying!
Actually, I was on my way to the seafood steamer with this batch, but let me give you some peeled shrimp.
These shrimp have a special gift. I had no issue coming here, even with the unstable qi saturation.
That's because peeled shrimp has the power to ward off evil!
捜したよ、あんたがいない間に大変なことになってさ。
なんたって街が半分になったんだよ！半分だよ！
うちの店もなくなっちまって、知らない街につながったんだ、びっくりだよ。
剥きえび、あんたに渡そうと思って…本当は海鮮中心に届けに行くはずだったんだけど…
このえびには特別な効果があるんだ。俺みたいにさ、気のレベルの違う街を行き来しても平気なんだ。
なんたって、剥きえびには退魔の力があるからね。
Other purifying charms like these peeled shrimp exist, but unlike those, peeled shrimp can only be used once.
昔は退魔の札とか、そんなものがあったらしいけど。それと同じさ。でも剥きえびは使うとなくなるよ。
