I’m not sure where to find an English source, but the story goes like this: There was a little dragon king who was very naughty and mischievous. His father, the dragon king was fond of him and thus would spoil him, one day, the little dragon king did something that was unforgivable. He had burnt the heaven’s court and thus, would be punished by lighting strikes.
His father took the blame for him and was struck by the lightning. The little dragon king felt guilty after seeing his father burnt, bruised and dying, the little dragon king wanted to bear the punishment. To stop his son from confessing, the dragon king slammed his head onto the vajra (magical weapon) and died on the spot.
His dead body turned into the Dragon’s Back Mountain, which was later called Dragon’s Back Wall since it resembled a dragon’s back. After the death of his father, the little dragon king became sensible and no longer cause trouble.

  1. Ren Yifei wouldn’t but is no less dangerous because he can fit seamlessly into someone else’s life… Such as even the closest people to the original NPC have no clue

    • Putting it like that us a little frightening. Not because no one notices, but because… if you can seamlessly become someone else, then who are you? Where does your self start, and where does your role start? That’s why actors who go too deep into the act can turn depressed and have an identity crisis. It is a loss of self.

  2. At least the connection isn’t as obvious as “anyone who upsets the blind man gets it,” but the “courting” drawing attention isn’t ideal and it might still be that the killer wants to keep the neighborhood “harmonious” for him. Also it looks like one of Saman’s assassins is down? Is the kid he’s ferrying around another one, because I know he wanted the attempt on his life to be a bit more undeniable than this…

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  3. I feel like it is elder sister song who is the ghost. She once mentioned that everyone in the apartment building are good or else she wouldn’t let song bozhi live here. But now with the players disrupting the neighborhood, it became unsafe for her younger brother to live here thus she killed the players.

    Not sure if it really is her, since there is that night visits *sigh

    • Yea but why is that actually a good theory XD but I don’t think that would be the case cuz sister Song just doesn’t feel like the person, like after all we haven’t even gotten introduced to all the characters, but I would feel the night stalker is a man prob who got some sort of relationship with Song Bozhi but we don’t know for sure cuz we haven’t learned about that yet, but anyways the final conclusion is that the crazy stalker is the ghost and the persona Song Bozhi is personally related to the ghost….
