The Midnight After Page #3

He's on Hong Kong Island... Wah Fu Estate

Wow, that's far

Have you thought about going to look for her?

Sure, but I have no way of getting there

To Kowloon...

I guess I could bike it

HEY, are you okay?

I'm... okay...

You look shocked

I'm okay

What's going on today?

Nothing is going as planned

I'm baffled too

I just want to hug my boyfriend and cry

An hour ago, I lost my job...

Sorry, I shouldn't be telling you this

It's okay

When guys get upset...

do they miss their girlfriends?

Sure they do

I gotta go back

I need to find my boyfriend

There's got to be a way to find him

I'll talk to you later, bye

Bye

I should find Yi too

Sh*t, we've got to figure out how to help him

I said we shouldn't have come back tonight

If we hadn't...

how would we get our homework done?

Let's check on him first

Hey, how's he doing?

He's having convulsions

Did you guys find anyone?

There's nobody around

Come on...

Run!

What happened to him?

Was he poisoned?

Where are we running?

There's nobody around here

Hurry, let's head for

the Tolo highway to find help

Where is everybody?

That way, that way!

Hey! Help us!!

Hey! Why's your face so red?

Yours is too!

Have we caught SARS?

Huh? SARS?

Catch that guy on the bike!

Save us!

Help! Help!

Take us to Kowloon! Hey!

Sir, please help!

Our campus is haunted!

Don't leave us!

Help! Help!

Help!

He went right past us...

You bastard!

Here goes nothing

Auntie, uncle?

Y.!

Hello?

Hello, it's really noisy here

Hello? Can you hear me?

I'm heading for Mei Foo now

I won't go back to Tai Po tonight

I can't...

Why not? I thought we had a date?

We did, but I didn't know...

I'd have my period today

So what if you do?

It's unlucky to do it on a 'red day'

I'm not superstitious

You're so bad!

It's not like we haven't done it before

But it's gross

Will you miss me?

Of course I will...

...but it can't be helped

Then I'll go back to Tai Po

Don't be mad, I love you

What's going on?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

Hello?

Hello, who's this?

Who's calling?

Just received a mysterious call...

Just received a mysterious call...

from an unknown caller?

They didn't speak, seems pretty suspicious

That aside...

did everybody get the same call?

Please reply ASAP, everyone

To tell us you're safe

"I'm safe"

Something's wrong

Let's meet tomorrow morning at...

the Michelin starred Chicken-Pie restaurant

Michelin?

Tai Po has such a classy restaurant?

Mum?

Mum

Dad

Yuki!

Are you heading for that Chicken-Pie Deli?

Let's walk together

It's as if the whole world is playing...

a huge game of hide-and-seek

It could be a Guiness World Record!

You think this is funny?

Aren't you worried about your family?

You realize my dad, my mum...

and my boyfriend are all missing?

And you're here cracking silly jokes!

I doubt that anyone has seen their families

I don't know

I couldn't get to Kowloon, don't ask me

It's going to be okay

I'm hungry, I need some breakfast

I'll make some!

Perfect timing, you two want some breakfast?

I just ate

I'll eat!

Huh? Didn't you leave?

Would you believe it?

My minibus ran out of gas

It stalled on the highway out of Tai Po

So I just walked back

F***, Tai Po really is a ghost town

I walked from Kwong Fuk Estate

Took me just over half an hour

This is the town center, right?

Completely deserted?

That reminds me...

What's the population of Tai Po?

17?

Really? That many?

Whatever the population...

breakfast comes first!

Why is Kowloon so far away?

Breakfast is served!

Looks good!

Friend, I once ran a restaurant

I thought you played First Division football?

Back in the day...

Hey! Isn't this a meeting?

Shun isn't here yet

Neither is that junkie 'Blind Fai'

I guess he's snorting coke somewhere

Or he's on his way back to Tsuen Wan

No way!

From what I've seen...

Without my minibus...

none of you will get out of Tai Po!

As I said last night...

we're bound by universal laws

We've entered the Photon Belt

We're moving from the 3rd Dimension into the 4th

The cycle takes a full millennium

When it's over...

humans will have merged with nature

And we'll all be going to our new home on Sirius

Shut up, crazy woman!

Go against me and you go against your fate!

Shut your mouth, b*tch!

My husband told you to shut up!

You two are a truly malicious couple

You will pay a heavy price...

for your stupidity

Shut your mouth, b*tch! Give it a rest!

Leave me alone!

You don't believe me?

Just wait! I'll be sitting here...

while all you fools perish!

You don't believe me!

You're all fools

We were all on the same minibus

Don't make light of death and dying!

- Take that back

- That's right!

I was the one driving the minibus!

Why don't you have some breakfast?

I don't want any!

You people might want to poison me!

I still want to go back to Sirius, my home

Last night, when we were walking to Tai Wo...

I saw someone at the Kwong Fuk overpass

Yuki lives in Tai Wo too...

so we were going the same way

As we crossed the Kwong Fuk overpass...

I saw someone in a gas mask

Really? Someone in a gas mask?

Chi, are you sure about this?

Yuki, did you see it too?

I didn't want to scare Yuki

So I didn't mention it

You mean this?

Yes

I think you got it wrong

No, I saw him very clearly

He was right by the side

Maybe you couldn't see him...

from where you were standing

I'm not talking about this

I don't even live in Tai Wo...

(Reciting the Amitgbha Sxtra)

(Reciting the Amitgbha Sxtra)

(Reciting the Amitgbha Sxtra)

(Reciting the Amitgbha Sxtra)

Ah, glad you got here

When Chi was walking home...

he saw a man in a gas mask

So we're not alone in this world

There are others

I just discovered something too

It also shows that we're not the only ones here

The proof is here, everyone can see

Okay, first up...

You all need to listen to that strange sound again

That's the sound we all heard

Damn, it's so creepy!

Actually, when it came through earlier...

the call from an "unknown" caller...

I thought it was weird

So I recorded the sound

No matter who the caller is...

it's someone with the knowhow...

to call all of us simultaneously

That wasn't a coincidence

He must have had some purpose

Honey, do you think...

it was that junkie 'Blind Fai'?

I'm sure that guy was up to no good

Some of it might be musical notes

What do you know? These are just sounds

Shun, are they musical notes?

You really didn't walk home with me?

I got off alone at Kwong Fuk Road

There was no-one on the streets

I live in Uptown Plaza, Tai Po Market

No... that's impossible

How can this be?

Does your boyfriend live on Hong Kong side,

in Wah Fu Estate?

Huh? How do you know that?

Because you told me

You said you were missing your boyfriend

I cycled to Mei Foo...

to look for my girlfriend

You went into Kowloon?

Yeah.

Don't say, I don't want to alarm them

How was it in Kowloon?

Hard to say...

Just like Tai Po, deserted
