Daomu Biji: Restart

I tilted my head and looked at Poker-Face with an expression that seemed to say: are you serious?

Poker-Face patted Liu Sang, “What else did you hear?”

"Echoes, all kinds of echoes. There are people screaming everywhere, but some of them are talking." Liu Sang blinked his bug-infested eyes and looked down both sides of the dark tomb passage.

Poker-Face turned to me, "Put that thing on your back and follow the noise."

"Why?" I asked him. I had been asked to put the shuikao on and now I was being asked to carry a female corpse. I wouldn’t do it. I wasn’t some Swiss army knife that could cut apples and shovel shit.

While we were all talking, I once again looked at the leather figurine woman and felt all my hair stand on end. There was something else standing behind the leather figurine woman. It was another leather figurine. But this figurine was one of the well-preserved ones from the main tomb chamber that was dressed in golden silk.

It was standing in the shadows behind the leather figurine woman with its hands resting on the woman figurine’s shoulders. Its expression wasn’t as calm as the woman’s and its white face made it look extremely sinister.

Fatty noticed my expression and looked in that direction, "What's wrong?"

"There’s another one!" I cried out as I secretly wondered what was going on.

"They’ll keep coming," Poker-Face said.

I clenched my teeth, unable to deny the fact that Poker-Face was always right. I stepped forward and broke the white-faced leather figurine’s hands before picking up the leather figurine woman and putting it on my back. I found that it was actually very light and hardly a burden at all, but since I was basically naked, the feeling of the leather figurine woman’s skin made my whole body break out in goosebumps.

As Fatty put Liu Sang on his back, Poker-Face turned to Liu Sang and said, "Listen! A voice will tell us how to get out. Don’t be influenced by any other sounds. If this thing makes any noise, tell me immediately."

Liu Sang turned his head and listened with his eyes closed.

"First go from the main tomb chamber to the drainage channel," I said.

Liu Sang shook his head, "No! That place is full of screams.” He pointed above us, "Go up."

Poker-Face looked at the leather figurine woman and nodded. After we all climbed back to the abandoned tomb passage, Liu Sang pointed to the hole where we saw the stone tablet before, "We have to go in."

"No way," Fatty argued. "All those ‘people’ are inside."

"The voice is coming from inside,” Liu Sang said. “We have to go in."

At this time, Liu Sang suddenly looked at the leather figurine woman.
