=Kunlun Tomb=

=Episode 15=

This must be where they killed and skinned the humans.

Gosh, it's all bloody.

How cruel.

Chief Yang.

How do we use the Fowl-Dust Orb to close the Pathway?

Is it explained in the mural?

Hu.

Could closing the Pathway

be similar to turning off a switch? You know...

Turn right to open.

And turn left to close.

Turn what?

You?

I don't know what to turn.

I'm at least giving ideas.

We can't just be stuck here.

Don't move!

You...

I did nothing.

I didn't touch anything.

Hu.

This thing resembles a Bagua.

Check it out.

The orb seems to contain an inner core.

It contains massive energy we've never seen before.

We might only be able to activate it

under certain conditions.

How exactly do we activate the energy?

Once the positive and negative charges

within the substance interact with each other,

it'll produce a reverse impact.

It might cause devastating effects.

Hu.

Always causing trouble.

What is it?

Think of the Fowl-Dust Orb as the positive end

while the human as the negative end.

If what's on the mural is done,

the energy created will connect to a switch in the pool

to open the Pathway.

Reversely,

it will destroy the Pathway and close it down.

You mean,

I was right about turning the on-off switch.

Right?

According to what you said,

if we switch positions of the Orb and human,

that should close the Pathway.

Currently, that is the only option we have.

But...

But one person has to die no matter what, right?

That's complicated.

Shuna.

Why must someone die?

That's just our prediction for now.

There has to be another way.

We have limited tools and info.

There's not much time left to figure things out either.

Actually,

there's no need to figure things out.

We have the perfect guy to be used as an offering.

Who?

You, Mr. Ming.

Don't joke around.

Yeah, why me?

Look, Mr. Ming.

This whole trip,

you've been tricking us and causing a whole lot of trouble. Right?

What's the matter?

We don't have much time left.

We don't have any other way.

Even if there isn't much time left,

we need to think of a better way.

The best way is to let me do it.

What?

Hu.

To get rid of the erythema

and to fulfill the Zaglama clan's wish are my missions.

I know.

If you and Fatty hadn't been with me,

I wouldn't get this chance today.

Promise me.

Promise me that you'll get out safely.

Have you asked me?

You want to sacrifice yourself.

Did you get my permission?

Hu.

This is my family's affair.

I told you long ago, this is not only your problem.

I've come this far with you.

I'll never let you die with me by your side.

If someone has to die, I will do it.

Listen to me.

What?

Who's going to die?

No one is allowed to die.

We went through so much to find the Fowl-Dust Orb.

And what for? To stay alive.

It would've been for nothing if we died after finding the orb.

Tell me what other ideas you have then.

If we don't sacrifice one person,

all of us will die.

Fine.

If someone has to die, I'll die then.

I don't have any family anyway.

- Deputy Commander Wang. - Yes.

I'm giving you the most important task of the operation.

No, don't.

I won't have that.

I'm not going to agree.

This is an order.

It's not up to you.

You will promise me that you'll get them out safely.

I'm not going.

We are Mojin tomb raiders.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Everyone will survive together.

But if someone has to die, I'll do it!

Uncle Ming.

Uncle Ming!

Xiang, what's wrong?

My eyes hurt.

My eyes hurt.

What is going on?

Can you see us clearly?

Yes, I can. But it hurts.

It needs to be treated.

What's happening?

Did you see something?

I saw...

I saw many girls' eyes being dug out here

before they were thrown off.

They must have been in pain.

I saw it. They were suffering.

You saw it?

We didn't see anything though.

I told you, Hu.

She can see those things.

I guess Xiang really has a connection with this place.

What connection?

Clean her wound.

Found anything new?

Thanks to Xiang.

What is depicted isn't killing,

but the process of taking their eyes.

Taking their eyes?

Finally, those aren't real humans being put into the pool.

They're dolls.

The doll probably symbolizes the soul of the one being sacrificed.

The Demon Kingdom always believed

that the soul is contained within the eyes.

So eyes represent something special to them.

Looks like...

what the ritual needed are eyes.

Eyes?

You mean,

no one has to die then, right?

Oh, that's good.

Wait a minute.

No one has to die.

But who's going to offer their eyes?

Revolutionary fighters were even okay with losing their lives.

Losing eyes is no big deal.

Take my eyes then.

I'll just be another blind tomb raider.

But you'll have to look after me.

No way.

First, you want to beat me at dying.

So don't you dig out your eyes before me now.

Or how about this?

We can dig out one eye each. Right?

Being a one-eyed tomb raider

won't stop me from enjoying fried source noodles.

Please, guys.

This is not the time to joke around.

I wasn't joking. I'm being serious.

So am I.

Do as I say.

You'll help me dig out my eyes.

No way. I can't do it.

How about this?

Dig mine out.

Stop arguing!

Take mine.

Well...

Since Mr. Ming has graciously offered,

alright then, we'll take yours.

- What are you doing? - Digging your eyes out.

No.

I, Lei Xianming, am not destined to get rich.

Take it.

What is it?

What is this?

The crystal eyeballs.

How come you've got them?

Where did you get them?

From Miss Yang's backpack.

Weren't they with us the whole time?

You told them not to come.

Do you remember?

Did I become silly because of the injury on my head?

Tell me.

Why only the three of us came?

You took them?

You mean you stole them.

Also, what did you just call her?

Miss Yang?

Haven't you been calling her Shuna?

Mr. Ming.

You were pretending to be dumb the whole time, huh?

It's fine that you faked it and stole things.

But why must you hold her hand?

You were clearly taking advantage of her.

I was not.

God knows my heart.

I've handed them over to you, right?

You really are thick-skinned.

What? Just because you handed them over, I should praise you?

Should I give you an award?

Fatty, listen.

I've lost so much on this trip.

You saw it yourself.

So I took something valuable.

It's only understandable.

I am a conscientious man.

A loyal man.

It's because I feel bad for you, Hu.

You're a real man. I sincerely admire you.

Anyway, I gave up my own desire.

That should redeem my wrong, right?

Who cares about redeeming yourself?

These are made of crystal. Can they be used?

I've thought about it.

I worry that the crystal eyes

won't be able to replace real human eyes.

The Crystal Glacier Corpse.

Before we came,

Shuna and I did a lot of research on it.

The crystal eyes evolved from real human eyes.

Moreover, these are the crystal eyes

of the Demon Kingdom's first Ghost Mother.

They're more valuable than other crystal eyes.

I dare say,

these are the most precious offering.

Is he trying to deceive us again?

The Ghost Mother's eyes are Demon Eyes.

Buddha Eyes are all-seeing.

Demon Eyes are limitless.

Demon Eyes are limitless.

I think they could work.

Xiang.

Get back here.

Hu, I finally got it.

The huge footprints we saw in Eluohai

must belong to this guy.

Chief Yang, this way!

Go!

Fatty!

Hu, save me!

Fatty! Get up here! Quick!

Watch out, Chief Yang!

Quick!

Quick, Fatty.

Okay.

Nice!

Hu!

Come on. Let's go.

This way, quick! It's safe here.

It's safe here.

- Let's go! Now! - Hurry!

Over here.

Hurry!

Go! Go!

Quick, this way!

Come on.

It's really coming.

Come on.

Hu.

Hu, get out of there!

Come at me!

Fatty!

Over here.

Got it.

Fatty, are you okay?

I'm okay.

That was close.

I almost became a eunuch.

It's fine. It's still there.

The sandglass is almost full. We're too late.

The sandglass is almost full!

- What's happening? - What's happening?

- Go take a look. - Okay. Let's go.

The timekeeper has stopped.

This cave is about to collapse.

Miss Yang, I have the crystal eyes!

I think the tremors are caused by sound waves.

We have to start the ritual now.

This way. Let's go.

Watch out!

- Come this way. - Hurry!

Watch out!

This is bad.

The stone bridge is collapsing.

Are we going to be trapped here?

Why has it come back to life again?

Start the ritual.

Fatty and I will clear the way for you.

Go that way, Fatty. Go.

Find a safe place to hide!

Go!

Watch out, Fatty!

Fatty!

Take cover.

Okay, you be careful.

Come on!

Hu!

Hu!

Hu!

Hu!

You scared me to death.

Careful.

It's gone out.

Have we succeeded?

It's all over.

Hu.

This is the end, right?

Fatty.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Torchlight, please. I need to check.

Where?

Here.
