Plot

Uncle Feng, an experienced policeman, lives a quiet and beautiful life in Tung Ping Chau. One day, the old lady living next door comes to ask him to go to Hong Kong Island to return the body of her daughter, a stewardess killed by the police after being suspected of being a drug smuggler. Feng finds that the "stewardess" had actually been killed before her return to Hong Kong. She had been turned into a "living corpse", and is being controlled by a Japanese magician for smuggling. With Feng's supernatural skills and detective techniques, they finally find the location of the secret altar of the Japanese magician.[1]

gollark: Your computer may be better and get the worst-case (bruteforce everything) down to 5 years, but I think 2.5 is the approximate average time.

gollark: I mean, on my R3 1200 that would take (at most) *ten years* of CPU time...

gollark: Good enough.

gollark: Maybe because it thought "this was calculated valid, must be a temporary server error".

gollark: You can't use those, though, because you just posted them publicly.
