4
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,520
Do we really have to play dead
to get into the city?

5
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:41,099
The living have to pay a head tax
to enter the city.

6
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,430
This way, it's cheaper.

7
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:53,319
I haven't heard of any plague
or bandit attack in this city.

8
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,920
What exactly happened here?

9
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:03,639
No fracture to the neck.

10

The face has turned bluish-purple.

11
00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:07,390
Judging by the angle
of the ligature mark,

12
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,559
the airway was compressed,
causing death by suffocation.

13
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,620
This was a suicide.

14
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:12,840

15
00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:14,559

18
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,680
Just like the last one,

19
00:01:40,681 --> 00:01:41,880
this was suicide too.

20
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:47,649
What does this symbol mean?

21
00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:49,310
It's a death symbol used here.

22
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:50,640
If a whole family dies,

23
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:52,759
they mark the wall with this symbol.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,219
Looks like the situation in Xucheng

25
00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:55,950

but I was too scared,

43
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:00,579

they found on the beach.

50
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:12,529
After that, the governor slowly changed.

51
00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:14,459
He started ordering us

52
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:15,460
to smash all the other statues,

53
00:03:15,461 --> 00:03:17,589
saying his Balai Ancient God
didn't like them.

54
00:03:17,590 --> 00:03:18,949
If anyone dared worship another god,

55
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:19,950
he'd kill them.

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,019
That Balinese statue is said
to be extremely eerie.

After the city
started worshipping the new god,

65
00:03:40,190 --> 00:03:41,869

A lot of people thought
it was a divine calling,

73
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:56,449
so they all went looking for the cave.

74
00:03:56,450 --> 00:03:57,310
Some people went mad

75
00:03:57,311 --> 00:03:59,249
because they couldn't endure the voice,

76
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:01,869
and in the end, they couldn't hold on
any longer and killed themselves.

77
00:04:01,870 --> 00:04:02,520
The governor said

78
00:04:02,521 --> 00:04:03,919
those people were traitors...

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,249
They were to be burned alive,

80
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:07,449
and their bodies completely cremated.

81
00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:08,810
Thank you, sir.

00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,910
and the next day...

188
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,579
I didn't expect you could talk.

189
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:22,180
Guess I underestimated you.

190
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,560
No... wait.

191
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:25,159
Your brother's already buried

192
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,110
at the bottom of that cave.

193
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,530
You're the next one.

194
00:12:32,650 --> 00:12:35,269
Have you ever thought
about the people around you?

195
00:12:35,270 --> 00:12:36,330
You're satisfied,

196
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:38,760
but what about everyone else?

197
00:12:38,770 --> 00:12:40,570
Not everyone is as strong as you.

198
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:42,640
Some people just can't take it.

199
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:45,940
I can't take you with me,

200
00:12:46,170 --> 00:12:47,289

201

to harm others either.

202
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:50,560
Shrimpie, what should I do?

203
00:12:57,580 --> 00:12:59,910

right here?

210

I've done my part.

211
00:14:05,740 --> 00:14:06,740
I meant her.

212

What's going on with her?

213
00:14:14,290 --> 00:14:16,339
Her parents were bewitched
by the Evil God.

214
00:14:16,340 --> 00:14:17,540
She became an orphan,

215
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:20,430
and then Herman sent his men to seize her.

216
00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:22,200
If I hadn't come today,

217
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,060
she would've been killed.

219
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:36,580
I did.

220
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:39,289
The one he worships is also
one of those Balai evil gods,

221
00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:40,859
just not the same one

222
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:41,740
beneath the salt marsh.

223
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:42,580
To be safe,

224
00:14:42,581 --> 00:14:43,939
I destroyed it on the spot

225
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:46,540
so it wouldn't harm anyone again
in the future.

226
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:53,769
I sealed off all the windows

227
00:14:53,770 --> 00:14:55,230
and set the statue on fire.

228
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:00,390
What did you find out from Herman?

229
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:05,950
The Evil God statue was given to him
by a military officer.

230

234
00:15:33,980 --> 00:15:36,640

than what was asked of me.

240
00:15:46,341 --> 00:15:47,870
It's fine. Don't be afraid.

241
00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:54,010
Isn't this great?

242
00:15:54,650 --> 00:15:55,650
Herman is dead,

243
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,850
the Evil God is gone,

244
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:59,339
and the innocent people are finally free.

245
00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:00,740
Our mission is complete...

246
00:16:00,890 --> 00:16:02,690
We've prevented this disaster.

247
00:16:12,510 --> 00:16:13,910
Alright, I admit…

248
00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:16,480
I really didn't expect the fire

249
00:16:17,790 --> 00:16:18,790
to

250
00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:20,420
Get that big.

251
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,880
I'll do better next time.

252
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,709
But we were the last ones out.

253
00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:25,710
I checked...

254
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,420
No civilians were harmed.

255
00:16:29,510 --> 00:16:30,240
Then care

256
00:16:30,241 --> 00:16:31,499
to explain something to me?

257
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:34,500
Why leave before the Evil God statue
was fully burned?

258
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:36,750
How do you explain

259
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:38,790
a fire like that?

260
00:16:39,260 --> 00:16:40,260
Mr. Shrimp,

261
00:16:40,650 --> 00:16:42,469
I honestly didn't see this coming.

262
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:45,530
I mean… it's a stone building—
How did it burn like that?

263
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Sorry,

264
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:51,149
I'll be more careful next time.

265
00:16:51,150 --> 00:16:52,150
More careful.

266
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,360
You always

267
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,520
take things to 99%,

268
00:16:57,370 --> 00:16:59,370
but you never cross the finish line.

269
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:02,750
Look,

270
00:17:05,030 --> 00:17:06,289
It's dying down. It's dying down.

271
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:07,609
Look. It's fine.

272
00:17:09,430 --> 00:17:10,430
Come on,

273
00:17:10,790 --> 00:17:12,269
don't be such a perfectionist...

274
00:17:12,270 --> 00:17:14,269
Leave yourself a little room to improve.

275
00:17:14,270 --> 00:17:15,530
So, what's for dinner?

276
00:17:17,849 --> 00:17:19,269
I'm getting roast chicken.

277
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:20,328
You're not allowed to eat...

278
00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:22,230
You stay here and reflect.

279
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:23,349
No way.

280
00:17:23,530 --> 00:17:25,720
I got 99% of the job done,

281
00:17:26,030 --> 00:17:27,639
so I should get 99% of the roast chicken.

282
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,659
Just dock me 1% and feed that part
to a dog, alright?

283
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:31,990
But I still have to write
an honest report.

284
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,069
We've completed the mission, haven't we?

285
00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:36,820

286
00:17:36,821 --> 00:17:38,659

many mysteries unresolved.

287

00:31:48,030 --> 00:31:49,090
Where's the ghost?

558
00:31:50,030 --> 00:31:51,030
I…

559
00:31:52,510 --> 00:31:53,680
To be honest,

560
00:31:54,220 --> 00:31:56,970
the last time I saw it
was in that thick fog.

561
00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:59,809
Once the mist cleared, it was gone.

562
00:31:59,810 --> 00:32:01,670
When does the fog usually come in?

563
00:32:02,030 --> 00:32:04,960
Normally, before sunset,

564
00:32:05,030 --> 00:32:06,890
the wind dies down

565
00:32:07,030 --> 00:32:08,919
and the fog slowly rolls in.

566
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,499
It lasts until around midnight.

567
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:11,789
When the wind picks up again,

568
00:32:11,790 --> 00:32:13,399
it clears everything away.

569
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,900
That's when I saw the water ghost.

570
00:32:16,790 --> 00:32:17,960
Sun's about to set.

571
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,440
Let's go.

572
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,480
I…

573
00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:28,590
I…

574
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,740
Bring the wine and the lanterns over.

575
00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:35,040
Then you're free to do whatever you want.

576
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:37,489
But once I send the signal,

577
00:32:37,490 --> 00:32:38,410
if you're not here

578
00:32:38,411 --> 00:32:39,439
within 15 minutes,

579
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,570
you can forget about staying in Balai.

580
00:32:59,660 --> 00:33:01,299
There's something strange here.

581
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:02,700
It doesn't look natural...

582
00:33:02,770 --> 00:33:06,030
More like something's been
heavily scraped or gouged out.

583
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,770
The fog's coming in.

584
00:34:34,690 --> 00:34:35,690
Shrimpie,

585
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,739
the fog's rolling in.
We'd better coordinate our actions.

586
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:43,380
Shrimpie, are you there?

587
00:34:43,460 --> 00:34:44,580
I'm here.

588
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,440
What do you think?

589
00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:52,340
It's all the stench of corpses.

590
00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:54,790
Looks like they're definitely not alive.

591
00:34:56,750 --> 00:34:58,880
Should we regroup first or something?

592
00:34:59,790 --> 00:35:00,790
Are you scared?

593
00:35:02,930 --> 00:35:04,930
Can you stop picking a fight with me?

594
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:42,940
Pickled…

595
00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:46,579
What, have people been pickling bodies

596
00:35:46,580 --> 00:35:48,180
all these years just for fun?

597
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,360
Chen Libiao.

598
00:35:57,610 --> 00:35:58,060
Oh no!

599
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Shrimpie,

600
00:35:59,190 --> 00:36:00,320
Chen Libiao's dead!

601
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Shrimpie!

602
00:36:11,050 --> 00:36:12,050
You okay?

603
00:36:15,690 --> 00:36:17,290
A cut-off retreat like this...

604
00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:19,120
Only humans could pull it off.

605
00:36:20,050 --> 00:36:21,510
Since it's not a haunting,

606
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:23,630
there must be a ship nearby.

607
00:36:25,170 --> 00:36:26,600
Right now,

608
00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:28,280
they're trying to scare us

609
00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:30,670
into spreading rumors about ghosts.

610
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:33,049
That means we can
definitely get out of here.

611
00:36:33,050 --> 00:36:34,550
What we need to do now

612
00:36:34,860 --> 00:36:35,860
is stay calm.

613
00:36:35,940 --> 00:36:37,530
All of you, come out!

614
00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:42,629
I am Zhang Salty, a commissioner of
the Nanyang Maritime Supervisory Office.

615
00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:44,430
If you're trying to play tricks,

616
00:36:45,190 --> 00:36:47,520
I will bring all of you to justice!

617
00:36:47,610 --> 00:36:48,380
Surrender within 3 minutes,

618
00:36:48,381 --> 00:36:49,710
and only the ringleader

619
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,880
will be punished.

620
00:36:51,010 --> 00:36:54,780
After 3 minutes,
you will be executed on the spot!

621
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,500
Don't talk nonsense.

622
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:01,529
The 3 minutes aren't even up yet.

623
00:37:01,530 --> 00:37:02,759
You actually believed me?

624
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,820
Hurry, scare them before they react!

625
00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:24,920
These look like the passengers
who went missing from those ships.

626
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,940
They've all been turned
into dried corpses.

627
00:38:14,570 --> 00:38:15,570
Blood...

628
00:38:15,610 --> 00:38:16,610
We've hit them!

629
00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:18,160
So it really is human work.

630
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,510
How boring.

631
00:38:26,730 --> 00:38:28,279
All the strange cases
we've handled in Nanyang lately...

632
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,999
Turn out they're all caused by people.

633
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,260
I guess, in this world,

634
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,580
the only ones who can "play ghosts"
are humans themselves.

635
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,280
What's going on?

636
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:43,820
The wind is coming.

637
00:38:45,790 --> 00:38:47,190
The fog is about to clear.

638
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,670
They're actually

639
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,029
kind of considerate, aren't they—
Putting on all this ghostly showmanship.

640
00:39:13,030 --> 00:39:14,560
It's all smoke and mirrors.

641
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:16,550
Once the fog clears,

642
00:39:16,551 --> 00:39:18,550
those bodies just vanish in a flash.

643
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,540
Remarkable trick.

644
00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:24,759
Where could they possibly

645
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,620
hide all the people and corpses
in such a short time?

646
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,440
Shrimpie,

647
00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:31,940
can you use the blood

648
00:39:31,941 --> 00:39:33,540
to pinpoint their position?

649
00:39:34,590 --> 00:39:36,589
Blood isn't a reliable scent marker.

650
00:39:36,590 --> 00:39:38,190
It doesn't carry far enough...

651
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:41,710
The sea wind is too strong,

652
00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:44,010
and the smell disperses quickly.

653
00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:48,570
But there is something we can use.

654
00:40:02,630 --> 00:40:05,160
The cigarettes have already
been stepped on,

655
00:40:06,420 --> 00:40:07,400
but I mixed in some agarwood incense.

656
00:40:07,401 --> 00:40:09,400
That stuff has strong penetration.

657
00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:10,460
Try it...

658
00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:14,070
Take a sniff.

659
00:40:28,850 --> 00:40:30,180
I can't smell anything.

660
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:32,850
Your mouth reeks of smoke and alcohol.

661
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,590
Stay away from me.

662
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,800
They're on the sea.

663
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:17,029
So someone

664
00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:18,189
quickly transported the bodies
back onto a ship

665
00:41:18,190 --> 00:41:19,400
and left the reef?

666
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,090
What kind of ship could move that fast?

667
00:41:23,590 --> 00:41:24,790
Maybe it's not a ship.

668
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,490
It might be something else.

669
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,730
Want to know what it is?

670
00:41:27,731 --> 00:41:28,860
Let's go take a look.

[Rusheng]

672
00:41:58,030 --> 00:41:59,160
What a massive ship!

673
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,269
Isn't this the passenger liner
that disappeared a year ago?

676

00:42:07,031 --> 00:42:08,379
Looks like all the ships

684

that went missing around Panhua Reef

685
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:12,370
over the past year have been hidden here.

686
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,480
Who did this?

687
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:14,960
And for what purpose?

688
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:16,360
Whatever the case,

689
00:42:16,940 --> 00:42:18,379
this is definitely a major incident.

690
00:42:18,380 --> 00:42:19,380
Let's go.

691
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,260
The two people on the reef...

692
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,170
One of them

693
00:42:28,171 --> 00:42:30,069
claimed to be
from the Maritime Supervisory Office,

694
00:42:30,070 --> 00:42:31,919
but he didn't look like a member of it.

695
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,319
He could even spit blades.

696
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,759
No idea where he came from.

697
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,029
No matter what faction they belong to,

698
00:42:36,030 --> 00:42:37,649
we don't take them seriously.

699
00:42:37,650 --> 00:42:39,310
Why are there warlords again?

700
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,569
Look at those soldiers...

701
00:42:41,570 --> 00:42:43,919
They're all carrying
Denasien-made Mauser rifles.

702
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,050
And that leader even has a Luger on him.

703
00:42:46,550 --> 00:42:48,689
These are weapons we can barely
even get close to.

704
00:42:48,690 --> 00:42:50,490
The soldier's rank is very high.

705
00:42:50,510 --> 00:42:52,899
Also, look at this chained formation—
It's very well planned.

706
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:53,900
The guard positions on this ship

707
00:42:53,901 --> 00:42:56,760
are also clearly laid out
and tightly coordinated.

708
00:42:57,300 --> 00:43:00,960
And none of these sentries
are showing the slightest negligence.

709
00:43:02,610 --> 00:43:05,140
Whoever's behind this
is no ordinary person.

710
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:08,480
You've grown up...

711
00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:10,380
You can analyze things now.

712
00:43:10,820 --> 00:43:12,759
Back then, I was always the one
doing the analysis.

713
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,589
I make it sound cooler than you do.

714
00:43:14,590 --> 00:43:16,470
Let's go up and check.

715
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,400
With something this big,
let's see what they're really up to.

716
00:43:27,150 --> 00:43:28,230
What's going on?

717
00:43:28,730 --> 00:43:30,330
Sir, one of the lights is out.

718
00:43:30,690 --> 00:43:32,090
Go check it immediately.

719
00:43:32,570 --> 00:43:33,570
Yes, sir.

720
00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:36,820
Stay on high alert.

721
00:43:37,210 --> 00:43:38,210
Yes, sir.

722
00:43:53,420 --> 00:43:54,420
Hurry up.

723
00:43:55,850 --> 00:43:56,340
Hey, you.

724
00:43:56,341 --> 00:43:58,319
These warlords are making
such a huge operation…

725
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,960
just to dig a hole on the reef?

726
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,880
Hurry up.

727
00:44:15,230 --> 00:44:16,230
What do you smell?

728
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:17,959
There's a strange odor

729
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,620
coming from inside that cave.

730
00:44:28,690 --> 00:44:30,669
So this is
where those "water ghosts" come from.

731
00:44:30,670 --> 00:44:33,519
Looks like these are
the missing passengers from those ships.

732
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,690
If that's the case,

733
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,250
they've been digging here
for a long time.

734
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,379
What exactly is down in this reef?

735
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:40,380
Go down now!

736
00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:41,550
Keep digging.

737
00:44:42,110 --> 00:44:43,579
The concentration down there
is even higher.

738
00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:45,459
Several people have already died.

00:44:45,460 --> 00:44:47,830
If we go down too, we'll die as well.

740
00:44:47,850 --> 00:44:49,270
Don't force us anymore.

741
00:44:50,730 --> 00:44:52,330
Let's go down and take a look.

742
00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:54,509
While we're at it,
take out a few of them.

743
00:44:54,510 --> 00:44:56,219
They've got numbers and firepower.

744
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:57,550
Even if we take out a few,

745
00:44:57,570 --> 00:44:58,669
we can't save everyone.

746
00:44:58,670 --> 00:45:00,009
Stop looking. Just work.

747
00:45:00,010 --> 00:45:02,279
We need to figure out
what's down there first.

748
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,479
Grab someone and question them.

749
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,670
When I came up,

750
00:45:05,090 --> 00:45:07,209
I smelled signs that someone had been
living in the ship's cabin.

751
00:45:07,210 --> 00:45:08,170
There are people inside.

752
00:45:08,171 --> 00:45:10,500
What kind of strange smell
is it this time?

753
00:45:18,430 --> 00:45:19,760
Smells like cured meat.

754
00:45:22,070 --> 00:45:22,570
What's going on?

755
00:45:22,570 --> 00:45:23,360
What happened?

756
00:45:23,361 --> 00:45:25,090
Why did the lights go out again?

757
00:45:34,860 --> 00:45:36,920
They'll notice in less than a minute.

758
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,400
Isn't one minute enough?

759
00:46:09,340 --> 00:46:11,800
What the hell are these soldiers
doing here?

760
00:46:12,250 --> 00:46:13,690
Playing tricks.

761
00:46:15,390 --> 00:46:17,120
See the threads on the corpses?

762
00:46:17,550 --> 00:46:19,080
If I'm not mistaken,

763
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,340
these warlords
are using those steel cables

764
00:46:22,660 --> 00:46:25,109
to quickly bring the bodies out
to the edge of the reef...

765
00:46:25,110 --> 00:46:27,440
And then make them disappear just as fast.

766
00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:29,210
How does that work?

767
00:46:30,460 --> 00:46:32,920
Something like a sail-hoisting mechanism.

768
00:46:33,580 --> 00:46:36,710
They first use the fog
to bring the ship close to the reef,

769
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,280
then operate

770
00:46:38,281 --> 00:46:39,630
a dome-like rig.

771
00:46:40,030 --> 00:46:41,020
By pulling the ropes,

772
00:46:41,021 --> 00:46:42,680
the bodies are made to appear,

773
00:46:43,590 --> 00:46:45,050
and then disappear again...

774
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,030
Just like raising

775
00:46:54,030 --> 00:46:55,510
and lowering a sail.

776
00:47:00,420 --> 00:47:02,150
You're quick on the uptake.

777
00:47:04,590 --> 00:47:06,190
But why would these soldiers

778
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,820
use corpses to pull off
something like this?

I can't tell what it is.

I think I've figured out
what's beneath the reef.

808
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,689
Before the Ming Dynasty's maritime bans,

809

00:52:36,110 --> 00:52:37,189
I am absolutely certain...

924
00:52:37,190 --> 00:52:39,090
Zhang Salty is already inside.

925
00:52:39,330 --> 00:52:40,859
He is extremely dangerous.

926
00:52:40,860 --> 00:52:42,209
If we don't complete the operation

927
00:52:42,210 --> 00:52:43,140
and blow it open,

928
00:52:43,210 --> 00:52:45,420
none of us will leave this place alive.

929
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:45,970
Yes, sir.

930
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:47,959
I'll send the laborers back down then.

931
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,549
They're already beyond saving anyway...

932
00:52:49,550 --> 00:52:50,230
They'll die sooner or later.

933
00:52:50,230 --> 00:52:51,230
Idiot!

934
00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:52,869
You go down there yourselves.

935
00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:54,290
Keep the laborers away.

936
00:52:54,590 --> 00:52:55,999
I only trust you guys, understand?

937
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:56,500
Yes, sir.

938
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:57,500
Close the door.

939
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,529
I think I've been
restraining myself quite well.

940
00:53:18,530 --> 00:53:19,140
Shrimpie,

941
00:53:19,380 --> 00:53:20,380
sometimes being too disciplined

942
00:53:20,381 --> 00:53:21,440
isn't a good thing.

943
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,079
If you had lectured me
like that just now,

944
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,810
I would've kicked you already...

945
00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:27,010
How could I have let that trick work?

946
00:53:27,460 --> 00:53:28,460
Of course,

947
00:53:28,570 --> 00:53:29,739
it's also hard
for normal people to believe

948
00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:31,289
someone could have such a thick skin.

949
00:53:31,290 --> 00:53:33,890
I admit I do have some talent
in that regard.

950
00:53:34,650 --> 00:53:36,339
You just got carried away again.

951
00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:37,439
It's going to be blown up anyway.

952
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,640
If I didn't exaggerate a bit,
would they have believed it?

953
00:53:40,750 --> 00:53:42,859
Let's go check
what equipment we've got...

954
00:53:42,860 --> 00:53:44,390
We're going down there too.

Zhang Hailou,

965
00:54:20,940 --> 00:54:22,779
you'd better withdraw your order.

966
00:54:22,780 --> 00:54:23,780
What's wrong?

967
00:54:25,350 --> 00:54:26,889
This girl died of poisoning.

968
00:54:26,890 --> 00:54:29,239
The salt and chemical solution
were used for disinfection.

969
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:30,690
If that's the case,

970
00:54:31,030 --> 00:54:32,269
those laborers also died
from this same poison...

971
00:54:32,270 --> 00:54:33,180
Dying suddenly on the spot,

972
00:54:33,181 --> 00:54:35,580
which is why they were preserved
with salt.

973
00:54:36,830 --> 00:54:37,939
No wonder that guy said

974
00:54:37,940 --> 00:54:39,709
those laborers were beyond saving.

975
00:54:39,710 --> 00:54:40,680
They are poisoned.

976
00:54:40,681 --> 00:54:41,810
Look at this report...

977
00:54:43,210 --> 00:54:43,940
The toxin comes

978
00:54:43,941 --> 00:54:45,169
from a plant called "Twilight Grass."

979
00:54:45,170 --> 00:54:46,429
If it touches the skin,

980
00:54:46,430 --> 00:54:47,140
it causes ulceration

981
00:54:47,140 --> 00:54:48,130
and eventually leads to death.

982
00:54:48,131 --> 00:54:49,199
If inhaled directly,

983
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,349
it leads to sudden death
on the spot.

984
00:54:50,350 --> 00:54:52,880
That's why the soldiers
