Fatty!

Wake up, Fatty!

Sorry for doing this.

Fatty.

You're awake. How did you end up here?

I don't know how I ended up doing my runs up here.

Easy there.

Don't worry. It's no big deal.

They took me down when I was...

...most vulnerable.

While you were busy taking down a 90s mob.

Why don't they confront me instead?

How on earth did you get here?

Well...

All I know is that I had diarrhoea...

...and then I ended up here.

I remember now.

Simpleton.

Tell me!

What really happened?

Come on! Don't keep me in suspense.

I was knocked out from behind.

When I fell, I heard someone talking.

It sounded familiar.

Guess who it was?

It was Pan Zi.

Pan Zi said this himself,

"Master Wu, shall we do away with him?"

Then, I don't remember anything.

You mean,

my uncle and Pan Zi knocked you out?

Anyway, it was Pan Zi's voice,

and that was what he said.

And your uncle...

...was probably beside him.

Fatty.

I believe that what you're saying is true.

But you passed out.

Maybe you were imagining things.

I see what you mean.

But no matter who it was,

they were really out of their minds!

If you were to kill me,

you'd throw me on a field and burn me alive.

Why fiddle with me...

...and put me inside a box?

It's as if they were being kind to give me food and shelter...

...and leave everything else to me.

Last night, when I was looking for you,

there was a puppet that tried to kill me.

Our equipment is all gone.

Is it the one who stole your notebook who attacked us?

They must be looking for info about the tomb.

That's a possibility.

But it's very mean of them.

Instead of seeing me face-to-face,

they sent a puppet to kill me!

A puppet?

A puppet, a puppet.

Now I remember.

There's someone in our trade...

...known as the Puppeteer.

His ancestors were corpse retrievers.

He could manipulate dead bodies with extraordinary means.

But since the trade declined,

he went on to make a bunch of puppets.

He's said to be the most meticulous of all,

that he can steal anything that's right beside you...

...when you're not looking.

Some say that he makes his puppets from corpses.

Others say he does marionettes or robots.

There are all sorts of stories about him.

In that case,

someone like him must really be behind this.

Besides, this Puppeteer...

...has ties with overseas antique dealers.

Overseas antique dealers.

Simpleton.

Other than Mr Cox Hendry,

who else could it be?

He just won't go away.

That leaves me with only one question.

Could it be that this side casket...

...is an affordable gravesite made specially for me?

Where's the body?

Or is it just an empty box?

The place looks too tidy.

Yeah.

It's too tidy.

Is this your bag?

Great, let's loot it.

Flashlights,

energy bars,

folding knives,

lighters.

Hey, Simpleton!

Is this all you've got...

...to go into the final circle?

You must have flushed your brain down the toilet.

Fatty.

You shouldn't joke around dead people.

Simpleton.

After all the trouble we took looking for the tomb,

here we are now, having taken the easy way in.

Yet something unsettles me.

It's unsettling all right.

Someone already came before us.

We should be mentally prepared.

Just like PUBG.

Someone already outran the blue before us...

...and went hiding in the final bout.

You'd better pray...

...and hope that you'll see your uncle up ahead.

At least,

your uncle can't possibly...

...kill his own beloved nephew.

Here, take this. A bigger one.

No one went through this door.

Someone probably went inside this chamber.

But now the door is closed.

If you want to go in,

you got to be prepared.

Let's go.

Count off.

One.

They're all down.

Who are we dealing with?

Just as we entered the Misty Village grounds,

they made an ambush on our troop!

Looks like someone...

...doesn't want us or Wu Xie to go down the tomb.

Could it be...

...a friend of Wu Xie?

None of his friends could be so ruthless.

I know this trick very well.

Follow me.

Ning,

there's someone at your nine o' clock.

Ning is pretty nimble.

Our henchmen are no match for her.

There are two dab hands in that group.

They're pretty smooth in raids and setting up traps.

Ning is going to fall head first.

If Ning dies,

Cox is going to lose one arm.

I wonder where they come from.

The one who ambushed Fatty last night,

we should keep an eye on them.

Let them take the bait.

The crazier, the better.

Why don't we put on our bulletproof vests first?

Did you hear that gunfire?

They were firing in bursts, not raking.

Maybe they found something.

It could be a shoot-out.

Now it's quiet inside.

Let's check it out.

No.

What if they aren't gone,

but are waiting for us inside?

What are you afraid of?

We've been through sea monkeys and corpse eaters.

Why are you afraid of people?

Just take them down and that's it.

People are what we should fear the most.

So what?

I don't even know the way out.

I do.

Go straight up here and turn left at the gate.

You'll see a corridor. I fell from the pit up there.

Read my lips.

Get out of here!

Be careful.

A Level 3 bag.

There's a lot of good stuff here.

We got satellite phones.

But there's no gun.

Fatty.

They clearly didn't come in a group,

and they were all shot to death.

I told you!

It was a shoot-out.

Two sides battling over a hoard!

What?

What?

You don't have a gun, right?

I'm fine. I'll be your bulletproof vest,

and you stick behind me and shoot down whoever you spot.

Besides,

you're treating it so lightly as if you're playing house!

Ever heard of a crack shot?

I wonder how many are there...

...in the chamber.

Never mind how many got in.

We've got three dead.

I mean,

this chamber is pretty standard.

Barring any irregularities,

that makes this the main chamber.

They should all be inside.

Let's get this done once and for all.

Let them fight it out inside...

...and kill one another.

Maybe we'll be the only ones left standing...

...once we get to go inside.

Got it? Let's go.

What?

Where are they?

Beats me!

Well, this is...

Look, Fatty.

Another dead body up there.

He must have been shot down in retaliation during the ambush.

He went for wool and came back shorn.

Serves him right.

This one's empty.

Look.

Here we are with this big shot.

It's okay. It won't be a problem...

...as long as we're careful not to have anyone...

...knock us out from behind.

The ones who attacked them...

...must be still alive.

But since they're not in this chamber,

then there must be...

...another secret chamber down here.

Another secret chamber, great!

That must be where the bounty is.

Fatty.

There's one thing we keep forgetting.

We came here according to the Speechless Knights' map.

It says here,

the Knights were here a thousand years ago.

But over here,

there's not a single trace of them.

Maybe they were killed by an enemy troop on the way,

...so they never came.

That's a rather simplistic deduction.

Fatty.

What now?

During their shoot-out,

how did they find the time to light up these altar lamps?

Judging from the layout of the lamps...

...and the orientation of the mirrors,

there must be some secret passage.

Fatty, look.

There really is a secret chamber.

Xiao Hua?

I got you.

Look out!

Save your explosives.

Dao Ke.

Once Sam takes care of Ning,

meet me up here.

Sam.

Sam, do you copy?

He's not responding.

Boss, our foes are better than we think.

Be it Jie Yu Hua or Ning,

they're unexpectedly strong.

These wise guys are trying to blow up the tomb with themselves.

And we'll be buried alive.

How many rounds left?

I've got none.

How about you?

Just one.

Your bag.

Give me the ammo clip.

How many of them left?

There should be three.

The Puppeteer is most dangerous.

We got to get rid of him.

But he's so cunning.

There's a bomb implanted...

...on the back of each puppet.

"The Fringed Woodcutter"?

Let's go.

He's getting really hot on our heels!

Who's that?

It's a puppet.

Maybe it's finding a way.

This is the first time I see a techie in a tomb.

The toy looks decent.

As a kid, I only had toy cars,

no toy puppets.

Say, if...

Did it see us?

I'm not sure.

It'll be a waste to shoot it down.

What are you doing?

-Keep me covered. -Fatty!

Fatty!

-Who the hell are you? -We're on the same side!

Xiao Hua?

Go now. It's got a bomb.

Fatty, move it!

But why?!

Why don't we take it down?!

"The Fringed Woodcutter".

Good thing you thought of it.

How's that?

You know I'm here when you hear it.

Why are you running?

Can't we just take it down once and for all?

Who's ahead of us?

I'm not sure.

They're freaking me out.

You see them, they'll kill you.

They won't give us a chance to negotiate.

When we were on the way here,

they made use of the catapults and had one of us killed.

And when we came in,

they killed some more of my comrades.

The puppet you just saw here...

...is their powerful mobile explosive device.

You mean,

like the explosion just now?

Yes.

So now,

we must do our best to avoid contact with them.

The explosion just now...

...had made the chamber less stable.

If the puppet blows up again,

even if we win the battle,

we may not be able to escape.

What matters most is whether there's an exit.

Master Hua.

Did you put me inside the casket?

You're such a busybody.

There are so many caskets,

so I had to choose randomly.

Wait.

Just now,

did you see...

...that there's a weird casket?

You bet I did.

You're a busybody too.

No, I'm not!

Look.

The caskets around us.

They're all wooden,

and they're all unpainted.

When I came in just now,

I saw a casket that was not only well painted,

but also much bigger than the rest.

Maybe there are...

...some clues inside it.

Come on, follow me.

Wait.

This guy was from the Republican era.

It can't be.

This is a Han dynasty tomb, isn't it?

Why would they put a modern man here?

Fatty.

He was shot dead?

Not only is this a man who came about 2,000 years after the rest,

he even had firearms beyond his time!

Don't tell me, these caskets,

they all keep Republican people?

Perhaps,

there is another possibility.

They were the inhabitants of the Misty Village.

Is that possible?

If they have really been massacred,

why did the killer...

...have his victims stored inside these caskets...

...and then interred in this tomb?

Isn't it superfluous?

And there's another possibility.

They weren't in the same group to begin with.

Over there.

This is the one.

Open it.

I'm going to catch you!

Fatty!

Wu Xie!

I'll go down first.

Come in.

Listen.

This is the "Golden Voice",

Zhou Xuan. You should know her.

She was renowned all over China.

She was queen of the music industry.

Grandma.

Uncle Si has been sentenced.

You don't have to tell me the verdict.

From today onwards,

he practically ceases to exist.

Uncle Si started out by threatening to drag down the whole family.

But now, he didn't say anything.

He confessed honestly.

Do you think he's doing us a favour?

I've sent someone to go advise him...

...what are the things he could do,

and what are the things that could get him killed.

In a rare occasion, he made a smart move.

Grandma.

I checked Aunt Ling's case files.

Those files are top secret.

I looked them up.

I found out that someone had tampered with the records.

Grandma, did you do it?

So what if I did it?

Grandma, so you read those files before!

Why did you tamper with them?

I think you're...

You don't want to investigate Aunt Ling's whereabouts, do you?

Where's Fatty?

Looks like someone...

...was definitely here before us.

These folks... could even read foreign languages.

The map of this tomb...

...is one of Master Er's remnants.

The headnote says,

this tomb was discovered during the Republican era.

It has two storeys.

Looks like the second floor...

...has been remodeled.

Not only was it remodeled,

but the entire tomb was cleaned up.

That's why so it's so neat and tidy.

Wow, what keen eyes you have.

What figure...is this?

I don't know.

I only know...

...that a Commander Zhang remodeled this place.

As for who this one is,

I'm not so sure.

Why would a commander renovate a tomb...

...instead of fighting battles?

Did he try to make it a local command base?

We took down some bandits just now.

If you don't already know,

Chen was simply impressive.

He wiped out all the bandits...

-...single-handedly! -Really?

That's impossible!

Everyone saw it.

He said he'll take us out to drink.

A drink? That's great!

We need to pay special attention to these two areas.

-Which inn? -How was the deployment?

-How about Zui Xiang Inn? -Yeah, they make good food.

I'm telling you, you must try their yellow wine at least once.

Really.

We should get Wang to join us by then.

That's great. We haven't gathered in a long time.

Yeah, let's gather once every few days.

As I see it,

we've been busy all the time, inundated with so much work.

We should gather more often.

What are you doing here?

Reporting for duty, Sir!

I've been assigned to Commander Zhang to be his aide-de-camp, Sir!

You mean, Commander Zhang Bu Xun?

Yes, Sir!

You're one lucky guy!

Commander Zhang is really nice to his comrades.

This must be the diary,

but I've no time to look it over.

Let's get Fatty first.

Okay.

Come on.

It looks like...

...this is the soldiers' quarters.

But why would they turn a tomb chamber...

...into living quarters?

Come on, let's go to the main chamber.

Come on.

Mirrors.

There should be...

...only one way out of this.

So our attackers...

...must be around the corner.

Be careful, guys.
