Shi Yi! Be careful!

Bei Luo!

Director.

Hurry, hurry.

W-What is going on?

- T-This is too scary. T-They all seem to be in trouble.- Chen Chao!

This is a cryptogam. It expands when it encounters water.

It will block the trachea and lead to asphyxia.

They're done for.

They can't be saved. They will die.

Who can tell me what we should do now?

What exactly should we do now?!

We can only go out by passing through these mummies.

There are dandelions all over these corpses. How can we pass through them?

Leave it to me.

[Episode 6]

Be careful!

What should we do? Pear is still waiting for us to save him.

We don't even know if we can get out.

Brother Hao, what's wrong? Are you hungry again?

Hey.

Brother Hao. This pipe is so dirty.

Organize all the things needed for tonight's auction. Put them by the old stage.

Yes, understood.

Put them here. Over there.

Put them here.

Brother Hao. Did they leave?

I think they've left.

What are you doing? Come and help me!

What do you think? I didn't gain my reputation

just by these, but also this.

Of course, that's good, Brother Hao. The money I gave you didn't go to waste.

Then how about increasing it by 10% after we get back?

No problem! No problem!

- Crap.- What's wrong?

There are two groups of people out there!

T-Then what should we do?

Kai Kai, is it safe?

Don't worry. I will be in front of you.

Hurry.

Boss Guan.

Why don't you go first?

Pear! Pear!

Li Cu! Pear! Li Cu!

Don't come near me! Don't come near me!

Li Cu! Li Cu!

Don't be scared. Take a deep breath.

Your own fear is scarier than the dark.

I will follow you. Take me back with you. Okay?

- Okay.- Let's go.

Very good!

Let's hurry and leave here. Don't waste anymore time!

Chairman, where do you plan to send them off to?

Send them to...

a place where they won't ever want to visit again.

Are you really going to send them there?

- Go on. - Yes.

Do you need my help?

Don't worry. You will be busy in the future.

Enjoy your meal!

It's rainy today. Remember to bring an umbrella.

[You know I always take precautions.]

Who are you?

I am the one

who manages the cups at New Moon Restaurant.

Why don't we have any contact information for the patient, Li Cu?

Maybe it was too rushed when he was sent to the ER, so his dad didn't write it down.

Then what about after the surgery? Why didn't you ask them to fill it in?

It was a mistake. Doctor Liang, this patient has already been discharged.

He also paid all of his fees.

Why are you looking for him? Is there something wrong?

I was just thinking that he had a very severe injury.

I just want to see how his recovery is going.

Didn't he send you pennant a few days ago?

He must be recovering well. You don't have to worry about that.

When he was discharged, he left behind a workbook.

I was afraid that he might come back to get it, so I kept it.

[Pear, don't forget about your homework!]

[37 High School, Senior Class 5, Li Cu, ID 0236]

[Shunjing No.2 Senior High School]

- So you're saying Li Cu's family requested a long leave for him?- Yes.

So he's not dead?

What I'm saying is everything is good with him... Everything is good with him.

- Nothing's wrong.- Is there anything else I can help you with?

Teacher, did Su Wan come today?

Su Wan?

I am about to contact his parents.

Even though he doesn't get good grades,

he has always worked hard.

I don't know why but he skipped class today. He didn't even call in.

He still doesn't know to study hard even though he's repeating the same grade.

So you're saying he didn't come today?

Did something really happen to them?

What did you say?

What's your relationship with him?

I am his older cousin.

No, wait.

If you're Su Wan's older cousin,

then why did you ask me about Li Cu?

I am also a distant relative of Li Cu's.

I am his aunt.

Okay, Teacher. If there's nothing else, I will go now. Thank you.

So Su Wan is Li Cu's relative.

Su Wan is Li Cu's uncle?

Wu Xie, I don't feel well.

Can we go out? Bring me out.

Don't be scared. Remember. What is scarier than the dark

is your own fear.

Stop telling me all this nonsense.

I can't stand it anymore. Can you let me out? Can you let me out?

What's wrong? You can't continue?

Don't be scared. I am here with you.

Don't touch me!

I won't continue following you.

Why did you lie to me and bring me here?

- Li Cu.- Don't call my name. I know.

You only saved me because you want to take advantage of me.

You clearly came here before! Why did you lie to me?

Why did you fake your identity? You're not even called Guan Gen.

Why did you impersonate someone else?

I am saying it again.

Bring me out. Bring me out!

Fine. Fine.

Boss Ma, let me tell you.

This person here is not Guan Gen. His name is Wu Xie.

He came here before. Those dead people

all died because of him. He wants to kill us all!

Such a cute kid.

I think what he said is true, right?

This kid is probably too scared.

Think about it. If I had really been here before,

why would I be stuck here with you guys?

Stop lying! I have evidence.

Boss Ma, it's in your phone.

There are photos. It's in your phone. I have evidence!

I really didn't expect that. Nice job.

I haven't been here before.

The person in the photo isn't me.

You don't need to be nervous.

It's not important who it is in the photo.

What's more important is the fact that you've been here before.

That's great. You take the lead.

How long are you going to pretend?

I don't know the way.

How about this? I will pay you three times more.

I just want the thing I'm after.

You, and rest of you can split everything else, however you like.

How about that? Now lead the way.

I really do not know.

I'm asking you one last time.

Are you going to lead the way or not?

Kai Kai, do it.

Guan— Wu Xie, right?

I admire your stubbornness. Continue.

Run away! The dandelions are coming!

Hurry! Run!

Hurry and run!

Hurry and run!

- What's going on?- Don't look back. Just run!

Wu Xie? Boss Wu?

I almost died in there.

Brother Hao.

It's painted skin.

Oh my lord. What exactly is this place?

They are all dead people!

Brother Hao. P-pear...

It really is Pear.

Pear! Why did you die so horribly?

I don't believe it.

We can't stay here anymore.

Stay calm!

If we continue to stay here, our faces will be up there too!

- Let's go! - No, we can't!

I am bringing Pear back home with me.

Pear.

Pear.

What's wrong now?!

Brother Hao! Brother Hao! It's my homeroom teacher, Yang Jingmi!

His skin got peeled off as well!

H-He must have realized that Li Cu was missing.

So someone killed him.

Then us two...

[New Moon Restaurant]

Brother Hao. Pear already died in their hands.

We can't just leave like this. We need to get revenge for Pear.

Of course, we need to! I will go gather people right away!

We will report this shady business!

Chairman, you're right. They've started to take action.

Tell everyone to get ready. We must finish everything before they make a move.

- Yes.- Also,

don't hurt the two kids.

Yes.

[New Message]

[Nan...]

[Plan started.]

[Recipient: Yin Nanfeng][A big storm is coming!]

Wu Xie?

Wu Xie?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone here?

Hey!

Whether I die now or later will be the same. Just do it.

Wu Xie?

Just now... Sor—

What exactly do you want to say?

- Where are the others? - They've all separated.

But it's a good thing. Otherwise, I would've been killed by them already.

Let's just think of how to get out first.

I will go open the door.

Li Cu! Li Cu!

We invited you here today because we want you to help us look at a few things.

My people received a few items from an antique store last month.

We don't know if they're real or not.

Chairman Zhang, please look at them for me.

Chairman Zhang, you must look carefully.

It's a small matter if you judge it wrongly,

but it's a big matter if your reputation is ruined.

Chairman Zhang, what are you doing?

The Flying Swallow stem cup, made in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

The cup is symmetrically and orderly

Gold paint with faience... Very exquisite workmanship.

The glaze is also of very high quality. It's a good piece of work.

Then why did you break it?

I said it's a good piece of work, but I didn't say it's an ancient piece.

Can crafts count as good pieces of work?

During the Chenghua period, the technique of faience hadn't existed yet.

You guys tell me. Is it fake?

Yes.

President Zhang, this ancient jade has such a nice hue. You're smashing that too?

If all jades of this hue are to be called ancient jades,

then all emulsion adhesive products can be called jades.

When it comes to the appraisal of antiques, it's not simply deciphering whether it's real or fake.

We can use our eyes to see if they're real or fake.

But we need our brains to understand human hearts.

W-What do you mean by that?

Chairman Zhang, don't break this.

You can't break this.

A Songhua inkstone carving with Ganoderma motif.

From the Qianlong period. I won't break it.

But you put such a valuable good among these fake antiques,

did you do it on purpose?

Or...are you really blind?

Listen to what you said. You've always had good eyes.

Of course, we are here to ask for your expertise.

Yeah.

Next time, if you want an antique appraisal, just bring it to me.

You don't need to put it along with fake antiques.

The inkstone is a good piece of work.

Boss Li, take it back home and store it well.

This is indeed valuable.

But it's only valuable after you issue the stamp.

I already did.

This...

When did you stamp it?

You guys

can now leave.

- Then we will get going now, Chairman.- We will get going.

You're awake?

Take this medicine. It will relieve your pain.

- Where's Wu Xie?- When you fainted,

a group of people came and insisted on killing him.

- What happened next?- He killed them all.

I went through a lot to carry you out.

How can that be possible?

Wu Xie came to Gutongjing before and killed his teammates.

He arranged the corpses into the Seven Finger Map.

- That's what you said, right?- I said it?

- Let me ask you, as a kid, why did you—- Wait.

I am not a kid anymore. I'm already of age.

Okay.

Even if you're an adult, why did you come here?

- Wu Xie brought me here.- Why did he bring you here?

What speciality do you have that caused him to insist on bringing you here?

That's because my back—

Wait...

I never mentioned the Seven Finger Map. How did you know?

You've said it before. You just forgot about it.

What medicine did you give me? What did you do?

Enough. I just gave you normal pain relief medicine. Stop faking.

I was just kidding with you. Let's go.

Everyone is waiting for us.

What's the situation now? How did scouting go?

We continued to walk forward and passed a few corridors.

We realized that this place is exactly the same as the place we were at before.

But the interior structure and mechanism setup are the exact opposite.

What do you mean?

Let's make up a scenario.

The place we went earlier was the Eastern Palace.

Then we are now in the Western Palace.

The Western Palace is like a mirror reflection of the Eastern Palace.

They're completely symmetric.

Then how did we come to the Western Palace from the Eastern Palace?

I can tell from the structures of the rocks

that the position we are at right now has not changed at all.

These two places should be located on the same horizontal line.

They should also be connected on the same parallel.

So you're saying that once we find the connection point of the two palaces,

we can go back to the Eastern Palace and go out?

Stop wasting time. Let's just continue walking.

They've went down for such a long time already. Did something happen?

Let's wait a bit more.

Guo Zi, what's wrong?

N-Nothing.

If I don't come out within 42 hours...

I know. Contact Black Glasses.

Brother Wang Meng, what are you doing?

Are you leaving?

Take me with you. Let's leave together.

We should now be on this route. We are already nearby the edge of the underground palace.

This is the closest border to the palace.

Even though we can't be sure if this is the border we're looking for,

it's still worth trying.

That way.

No. This is the map I drew of the Eastern Palace.

If the Eastern Palace is in symmetry with the Western Palace,

then the border to the Eastern Palace should be to the left.

The left side is a dead end.

The owner of this palace utilized symmetry

to design the whole palace.

Therefore, he won't break this rule easily.
