Original subtitles

You said Chui Er was the one who said to move the trucks

But at that time, Chui Er was already dead.

It's been so long. I can't remember.

You're still pretending. When we came, all the trucks were under the sand.

You were able to live for so long down there? You think I'm stupid?

Talk. Who are you exactly?

I'm just a driver

I've already put up with you for so long. Your Sichuan accent is really bad!

Kids these days aren't easy to trick

You sure can change fast

Everything I just told you

I came up with based off of clues from the surroundings and corpses.

I never planned on exposing my identity.

It's obvious I haven't mastered the art of trickery

Let me re-introduce myself. Others call me Hei Xia Zi [Black Bear, or literally Black - Blind Person]

Others also call me Hei Yan Jing [Black Glasses]

I knew in this haunted place, a person telling a story

is surely not a good person

Don't come to conclusions so quickly

At the very least, you're not a driver

Have you ever seen a half-blind driver?

Talk

Why are you here?

If I tell you, you probably won't believe

On the way here, I have been following you

So it was you the whole time

Don't look

lying to you has no meaning

Not long after I followed you, the lake moved

I hastily jumped in

Such bad luck. I sped up or else I would have drowned

Why did you follow us? Could you be-

Don't make wild guesses

I was asked

to protect your Boss Wu

It was going well at first. Who would've thought halfway through you'd play with water

and then everything's gone,

what's left is just you

You think I wanted this?

You don't look all that powerful

Wu Xie was pulled down. You didn't come out to save him.

You think I'm capable of going through heaven and hell

to pull off such greatness?

But...I did pull off a good deed

What good deed?

Don't look at me like that.

That idiot showed his true face, harmed the whole group

I already contacted someone, to send them all home

There was also a cripple in the group

with such a bad attitude. Getting angry even while being saved

Ma Boss! They were all saved?

That's great!

Saved? That's not for sure

I already found someone to send them to the police and check them out

They'll need to pay for their actions

That's true

Not bad

who knew you were such a law-abiding citizen?

For you

Fried rice

You have such good things in your bag

Not bad!

I'm half blind

I ordered this boxed lunch in Sichuan

Green pepper with shredded pork fried rice

and picked up a Sichuan accent while I was at it

It says this rice is good for 10 years

You could die here

and this rice won't have gone bad yet

Just a little dry but it's passable to eat

After you finish eating

I have something to talk to you about

Say it now

What do you think about the dangerous situation right now?

Same as you

Our situations are different

Before, I was protecting Wu XIe.

Who knew after going into the water and waking up

I was so tired

and then the two idiots were already gone

I'm in an awkward situation right now

The reason why it's awkward,

is because of you

It's not my business. My current objective

is escape from this desert alive. I don't care about anything else.

This attitude of yours is good

My original plan, was that if Wu Xie died

I would definitely go back

The supplies and food in my bag

is enough for me to take you with me

But first, I need to make sure that Wu Xie is without a doubt dead

This will be dangerous

and if I die,

you can take my supplies, food

and get out on your own

Then that's good! You're too nice

You think it's good

but I'm not at ease

many things will be affected if I die

If I look for Wu Xie

you steal my supplies

leave my bag

What will I do?

If you are afraid of me stealing and running away,

then you should hide your supplies well

Then it's fine right?

If my identity wasn't exposed

it wouldn't matter to me if you live or die

But you figured it out, so I need to figure out

how to deal with you

Grandpa

Grandpa. You- why don't you go back to being a grandpa

Look, it's like this. You've said so much

I can't tell what was real and what was fake

I also don't want to get rid of you

I think two people going out in the desert

will give us better chances

Once we can find the exit, you can just disappear from my sight

You won't have to do anything. Grandpa- no

Black Master. As long as I can leave this desert alive

You don't need to do anything,

I'll immediately get out of your sight, not a second longer

I'm a very fair person

and should make sure I make things clear with you

In addition, there's going to be something very dangerous tomorrow

that I'm going to ask you to do

If you can stay alive,

you'll believe me

Finished eating?

Finished

Then go to sleep

Child

you have something in need of repairs?

Can you look at this tape?

Child

this tape

has to be from at least half a century ago

Look

it's no longer magnetized

It can't be used

Can't use?

What I mean is there's no value in repairing it

repairing it would be a waste of money

Kid, how about this

You give a price and I will take it

didn't you just say it can't be used?

It's definitely broken

but it can still be sold

Let me tell you,

Our elder likes these kinds of old things

I want to gift this to him

Sorry, my grandpa also likes it

Child

why don't you think about it again

I can give you a fair price

Fatty

Quickly come

something good showed up

Are you crazy? Put me down.

Don't move. Relax.

Relax? How am I supposed to relax?

What are you planning?

I am fishing. Fishing?

How is there fish in the desert?

There's a desert plant here

the same as a man-eating plant

Help put me down.

I will help you fish.

I can put you down, but

once I put you down, you must keep running

or else, I will hit your butt

Did you hear clearly?

That's very scary.

If you don't release me, how am I supposed to run?

If you want to live, run!

What is that?

Remember clearly

it's a nine-headed snake tree

If the snake tree is already dead, then you can release me

You're only safe for now

At anytime, that thing can-

Save me!

So unlucky

Save me! Black Master save me!

I'm coming to save you!

This is all your fault Save it for when we kill it

What's going on?

What is this place?

Where are we?

Hurry run!

Hurry

Can't hold it any longer!

Use all your strength!

Black Master there's a bolt

Lock the bolt

So many stores, where should I go?

Hao ge, why have you just come?

You were the one who said you're going to study like crazy

What kind of crazy idea do you have now?

It's not that

Ya Li received so many packages

Look at what this is

This broken thing, what's so good about it

Did you see Li Cu?

We've went through a lot of trouble for him

Is he too afraid to confront me?

It's not like that Hao ge

Don't get mad. I still haven't seen Ya Li

I was just thinking

Maybe we can use these packages

to figure out where he is

The person earlier wanted to take this

could this be some kind of treasure?

Go. Let's look over there

It's just a broken tape

What's there to look so long at?

Almost done

My apologies. Please wait a bit

Kid

This thing, where did you find it?

It's my friend's

Friend's?

Your friend doesn't plan on coming out?

These type of people are sneaky

Don't fall for his tricks

We just came here to fix the tape.

No need for useless chatter

This thing is not worth much

Jin elder is here

Jin elder, you're here?

Li boss, your face is so bright

there must be something good?

Just a broken tape

Look! I told you we found it

Since I've run into you

why not let me take a look?

I'll look first

Looks normal

and broken? looks like it's broken

You have to respect antiques

Here. It's yours

take a look

What do you think?

This tape is from the 40s

specifically produced by the Americans and Europeans

to record data from their scientific research

and encrypted with a special code

Back then, these were rare

Only ten devices that could read this tape were made

That is to say, only those ten devices

could decipher information from the higher authorities

There would have been no need to use this kind of tape

unless there was something ground-breaking

What's on this tape is no small matter

Where'd you get this from?

Why all these questions? We aren't selling it

Let me, let me

Place it in the box

I understand This is yours. No one is stealing from you

Don't stay here

Come to ours and have some tea

What are you 'Eh'-ing about? Is that how you should speak to adults?

Let's go together

Jin elder, let's go

Coming with us?

Safe travels

I'll see you later

Who was that? With such grand manners

You don't even know him?

He's a top broker in Gu Wan city

Jin Wan Tang

That's him?

Why does he act so crazy?

Don't speak so carelessly

The man next to him was Wang Pang Zi

Highly skilled. You should be careful

What are you whispering about?

Go do your work!

Meeting two demons like that in the morning...

too unlucky

Where are we exactly?

Interesting

There's still air here beneath the sand

And this building is made of cement

This side of the wall is made of iron

This side

is a regular wall, which means

we're inside an iron container

Outside the container is sand

so the sand's...

snake tree

Obviously, it wants to get in and eat us

But with the way it's acting

looks like it can't get through iron

Aren't you impressive?

Aren't you big and fierce? Come on then!

The day has finally come to personally settle things with you

You have the ability to eat? If you have the ability then come!

Black Master would be very delicious. Come and eat

Come come come

This iron container has been here for so long,

it can't be as strong anymore

Why don't we

keep on walking?

To where?

We don't even know what floor we're on

What exactly was this place built for?

We don't know what for.

But looks like there's some clues here

It's Russian. Can you read it?

These are Russian numbers. 056

056?

Gutong city 056

Correct. This is Gutong City Project 056

This place was created 1945

and has been operating since

Project 056...

it says here that

there were many foreign excavation groups.

Hundreds of people

were here to carry out a mission

Seems like to dig something out of the sand

Dig what out?

It doesn't say here

Looks like there was a secret mission

from somewhere abroad

This place isn't safe

Let's go

Go

You want to know what's on there

right?

I have a way

What is it?

Let me make things clear

We only want it repaired. We won't sell it

Don't get any funny ideas This tape is yours

I won't concern myself with it

But the current situation,

It's you who is looking for my help, right?

Just repair, not sell. Not a problem.

You have the final say.

But let me explain the situation about just repairing.

In all of Gu Wan City,

listen carefully

all of Gu Wan City

I just have to give the order.

Look, which store

would dare to repair this broken thing?

If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself.

You're trying to threaten us?

Threatening. We're threatening you, what about it?

Hao ge, as long as we can get clues about Ya Li,

we can give them the tape if they want it

They're obviously just trying to rip us off

That's fine

Any clues about Ya Li are more important

Are you guys done?

Are you not done deciding? Will you or not?

We've decided

We'll do it

Good choice

Even if you don't want to hear it, I like this kid

Once I fix this tape,

I'll copy the information down for you

Give me the tape

Don't worry

I'll give you a fair price

Fine

But let me warn you,

the price to get the information on this tape

won't be cheap

Not a problem. If we can find Ya Li

Whatever price, I'm willing

Good

Who exactly is this Ya Li?

You guys have fruit store? [The Ya Li he was saying is a type of Chinese pear]

Ya Li is our friend We three have been together since we were young

Now, Ya Li is missing

I must find him

This kid sure is loyal

Who would've thought?

You sure are loyal

You're loyal

I'm also loyal

Today, I promise you

that I'll fix this tape

Grandpa, what's yours is yours.

Once I fix it, I'll give it to you

But however much you said you would pay for this, you should still pay

But I'll give you the information on this tape for free

Thank you!

Go. Come find me tomorrow afternoon

Let's go

What are you doing?

We went in a big circle. And in the end, you're doing it for free

They remind of

what we were like when we were young

Us?

Nothing to do with you

I mean my group back then

Who would have thought we'd be talking about loyalty

to kids these days?

Where'd they'd get such capacity?

Can we get the sound to play from this?

Xin Yue Hotel has a device

Xin Yue Hotel?

Speaking of Xin Yue Hotel,

Their boss Yin Nan Feng

[not sure exact meaning but he's basically talking about how she's such a beauty]

The first time I saw her,

with my small heart

no lie,

my heart was in such pain

I put in so much effort. For real.

It was all for this

because of this!

What class were we in back then?

We just ran a stall

Back then Xin Yue Hotel,

I could only go at most once a month!

It was impossible to meet with her!

Hard to find such a beautiful face

Jin Elder

Okay. I think you should take this

This, this

Hard to find such a beautiful face

Looks like

compared to a woman, this is still more important

right?

I won't bother you any longer

you just continue being melancholic here okay?

Drink, it'll help

You're leaving?

I have an appointment

How could you give it away so easily?

Look at me, and look at him Does he seem like a good person?

You can't discriminate against him just because he's fat

He was pretty straightforward when he spoke

Straightforward my ass. He's going to fix it for us

After he fixes it, he keeps it

We keep a copy

and we need to pay him

Does that make sense? Aren't you just being taken advantage of?

We want the information on the tape

Forget about the broken tape itself

And fixing something is supposed to cost something anyways

You...have you studied until you've become stupid?

Speaking of studying,

I haven't read in so long.

These days I've been focused on finding Ya Li

I need to...

what? Want to leave after using me?

No, Hao ge, let me send you some money

you can enjoy the chicken

chicken? don't really want it.

I'm bored recently

join me to sauna

I already took a shower earlier

let's go

Oh yeah, one word -

refreshing.

You asked me to come here,

what can I do for you?

why not? can I not miss you? I miss you that's why I want to meet you

So many years have gone by

And you haven't changed a bit

Can't change

living so long, it's still the same

and what about you, Hua Ye

Not easy. After so many years

of hanging around Jiumen,

those old folks,

you've have become a member of them

Very good

I heard some Li or Qi was causing trouble

what happened? Should I give you a hand?

no, I need them as I have business with Ying Nan Feng

Don't bother with Jiumen

Jiumen right now

is different from the past

there are rules to follow

what can you do?

what a proverb

please translate it into Mandarin

Although the Jiumen nowadays still has a good name

but internal issues cannot be solved

I don't understand what you're talking about

Those people, always fight each other

no pain no gain. Anyway I only know when I was young

Xiao Ge and I were so naive. We did so many things but they can't do anything to stop us

I shouldn't mention this again

I can't turn back the time

those were the days

I'm telling you all this means I'm obviously old

Right now, I'm taking a bath

Who else can I find?

I only can find you

There's no one else

How it that

Aren't you very popular in Gu Wang City?

Popular? I'm only an old stuffs collector

I have no problems, I'm easy going

what about you? how's everything with you?

everybody knows you have good relationship with Tian Zhen

Nobody gossip about you?

Yes, I get lesser injuries for him

but you all should pay for it

Pay what?

How can you ask me for the debt of kindness?

If you want it, look for the people from Jiumen

I need to go now

where are you going?

I have not yet completed my task

I've got a difficult business today.

Who gave you an uneasy task?

I don't know where is the boy from

he took an old tape

the tape was older than half of the century, invented by those American or European

I need to use my brain and think

old stuff

it's not difficult to open it

do you have iron wire?

will copper wire for explosive material do?

any wire will do

Lighting

Little rabbit

Were you a thief before? it's a long story

all the names on these files are

Zhang Qi Shan

Foye

Foye

Master Foye?

A rock sample

could it be Foye asked the foreigner to complete a project?

Zhang Foye

was he the one called Zhang Qi Shan?

Don't just call Foye as you like

What is this?

Snake skin?

but this snake skin has hair

Gun

Hold these. Give me light

Zhang Foye

What does he do?

You don't need to ask

Just put everything back

and follow me

the research material at that time

was indeed troublesome

that's right

That's the reseach testing sample

which is the device for playing this tape, only 10 devices were produced the recent record was show in the class here

that's really a long time ago

headache, where can I find this tape player? unless I can find the special tape player collector

so you have found the right person

I know this special person

really?

the thing is, that device

is with Ying Nan Feng. Was it really in Xin Yue Hotel

All things which have been used by Foye,

will be stored in Xin Yue Hotel

I can't always go to Xin Yue Hotel,

too expensive

therefore we need a helper

Jin Elder likes Ying Nan Feng

of course, he is crazy about her. He writes her love letters everyday

he never dares to send it

no way, what type of person is he?

Too fierce. He'll take everything and not give it back

we need to find a solution

You got idea? Let's go

but I have business with Ying Nan Feng

It's not good for me to go there

you..then what do we do?

Let me tell you, you know me

I need to complete the task once I have promised

Ying Nan Feng and you? Nothing can be discussed

nothing at all

The only person who can get that tape player will be

Zhang Ri Shan

Okay

I can help you with this. However,

You need to share the information from the tape with me

No problem

As long as you are sure to listen

This is our first time meeting

why are you so nice to me

I believe all Zhang people, do you believe?

Black Master

There's something I don't understand.

This place is so dark.

With these sunglasses, you can still see?

the darker it is, the better I can see

really?

Let me see

you really beat me? black blindman

look at your skills, if people knew I was with you

I would be ashamed

do you want me to teach you some skills?

You want to teach me?

I'm not learning

as easy as ABC

Not bad

You think I cannot do it?

I will show you

don't say that I bully you

Kid

look clearly

this is called double punch [Lian Xiao Dai Da]

remember?

alright

impressive

Lian Xiao Dai Da

Lian Xiao Dai Da

You are great

I don't fight with the blind
