The Seven Relics of ill Omen Episode 18 Recap
> The Seven Relics of ill Omen Recap
Thirteen-Thousand was falsely accused of murder. After coming out of the police station, Yan Hongsha spoke up for him. Thirteen-Thousand was secretly pleased and stood protectively in front of Yan Hongsha when she was threatened. He told Luo Ren and the others what had happened—when he touched Ma Chao’s face, Ma Chao’s skin seemed to burn, and a ring of blisters formed the ancient character “口.”
Mu Dai suspected the Heart Brand was on Ma Chao, but if that were the case, it wouldn't explain the other two witnesses. Not everyone could be carrying the Heart Brand. Luo Ren snuck into Ma Chao’s hospital room at night and dripped his own blood onto Ma Chao’s face, but there was no reaction. Luo Ren speculated that the Heart Brand wasn’t on Ma Chao.
Mu Dai saw pedestrians showing affection to their children on the street, while her own mother had rejected her. She felt deeply saddened. Luo Ren comforted her, saying that love comes in different amounts, but to someone who truly loves you, no matter how much trouble you are, you’re still their treasure. Mu Dai wanted to find her mother. Luo Ren asked why she was so determined.
Mu Dai replied she just wanted to see the place she came from and where it all started. Luo Ren, feeling distressed, tried to pat her head, but Mu Dai pushed his hand away. Luo Ren took responsibility for one of the two witnesses who had testified against Mu Dai, and Cao Yanhua took the other. After coming into contact with Luo Ren and the others’ blood, both witnesses retracted their previous statements.
Mu Dai’s name was cleared, and everyone was overjoyed. Thirteen-Thousand checked the surveillance footage from shops near the street. When Ma Chao had his car accident, a woman in a red leather jacket and red high heels had acted very strangely. Mu Dai said her instinct told her that woman might be her mother. Zhang Guanghua told Xiang Silan to stop, saying the game couldn’t be played by her alone—there were many others involved.
The doctor injured by Xiang Silan was named Ding Guohua. After the incident, he changed careers and opened a bookstore. Luo Ren took Mu Dai to visit him. Upon hearing Xiang Silan’s name, Ding Guohua lost control. He brought out her medical file, saying he had already cured her, then covered his own nose and mouth and almost suffocated himself. Ding Guohua’s daughter explained that he had been mentally ill for years.
His episodes began twenty years ago, when he felt a compulsion to lie every time he saw a medical record, leading to many misdiagnoses—including Xiang Silan. One day, Ding Guohua went to her and said he had found another doctor who could still treat her condition. But Xiang Silan had already been driven to mental collapse by the neighbors and ended up attacking Ding Guohua with a kitchen knife.
Ding Guohua’s daughter said the hospital found a large section of flesh missing from his back, even though he was only cut once. Later, a woman who looked like Xiang Silan was seen at Tengma Sculpture Terrace. Upon hearing the name Tengma Sculpture Terrace, Ding Guohua suddenly became alert and began muttering the words over and over.
The Phoenix Task Force investigated Tengma Sculpture Terrace at night and discovered that all the people who had falsely accused them had been there. Luo Ren deduced that they had all been implanted with Heart Brand Hairs. He set a trap and lured out an illusion. During the chase, he unexpectedly found a pair of red high heels. Luo Ren said Xiang Silan influenced others through wind or by releasing a virus, but thankfully, their task force was immune.
Luo Ren and the others waited at Tengma Sculpture Terrace, lying in wait. Xiang Silan appeared again, and Mu Dai gave chase. She saw that Xiang Silan’s chest was hollow. At the moment Xiang Silan jumped off the building, Mu Dai rushed forward to save her. But as she leapt, she realized it was a trap and barely managed to cling to the wall. Xiang Silan picked up a piece of glass and lunged at Mu Dai. In the next second, Luo Ren appeared, and the two of them subdued Xiang Silan together.
