Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I… I don’t know.” After Zhao Yu finished telling Cui Lizhu about the masked man she covered her head, trying to remember what the man had said to her. “I remember that there was an explosion. Then I don’t know anything. God! What is this place?” she said.
“Um… Take your time… You woke up once and were caught by them. I saved you,” Xiao Hang said.
“Oh, I remember…” Cui Lizhu opened her eyes wide. “That did happen. There were many boxes and cannons.”
“Yes, yes.” Xiao Hang nodded and continued on, saying, “When you saw someone chasing you, you ran through a gap in the boxes.”
“Yes, someone was after me. Those people… Who are they?” Cui Lizhu asked nervously.
“That’s not important! Think, what happened after you ran? How did they catch you?” Zhao Yu urged.
“I ran away. Then I ran…” Cui Lizhu slapped her forehead. “This is the secret fortress where the treasure is buried? Where is the treasure? Where is the gold? Did you find it? How much can I get?”
“D*mn.” Zhao Yu frowned. He turned to the others and said, “Even now she’s thinking about money.” He turned back to Cui Lizhu and said, “If you can’t remember what the masked man said to you, we’ll all die here. Think, hard!”
“I…” Cui Lizhu looked down and thought. After a while, she said, “It seems that I was caught by them without running too far. They gave me… Give me…” She touched her neck then continued, “gave me an injection, then I don’t know what happened after that.”
“But, think about it,” Zhao Yu said anxiously. “You just talked to that guy. There is a guy wearing a mask who asked you a lot of questions. Think about it. What did he ask you? His questions may be the answer to all of our questions.”
Cui Lizhu looked confused. “What? Masked man? No? I haven’t seen a masked man. What’s happened to me? Can anyone tell me what happened just now? What are you doing up here? The treasure is buried here. Why don’t you look for it now? It’s gold! tons of gold!”
“Alas.” Zhao Yu shook his head. “In my opinion, Cui Lizhu was not hypnotized. They probably used a truth serum on her like they did to those experts,” he told Xiao Hang. “She spoke to the man while she was in a coma, but she can’t remember it.”
“If we can’t find the answer, we can’t find the masked man,” Xiao Hang said. “I think we should leave here as soon as possible and find a hypnotist to help us.”
“But…” Zhao Yu suddenly frowned. “I know a little about lip reading. I just saw the masked man speak to her. I have a general idea about what he was talking about,” he said uncertainly. “Although he speaks Japanese and English, what he just said to Cui Lizhu must have been in Chinese.”
“Of course. Cui Lizhu can only speak Chinese,” Xiao Hang said. “If that guy wanted to ask questions, he could have only spoken in Chinese. But, Zhao Yu, I didn’t know that you know how to read lips. That’s not what you should be interested in.”
“What? Masked man?” Cui Lizhu furrowed her eyebrows. “Since he was wearing a mask, how could you see his lips? Boss? You must be bragging about yourself again. Why haven’t you told me that you know lip reading?”

“No, the man was only half masked and I could see his mouth,” Zhao Yu explained. “I am not bragging about myself. I really do know how to read lips. I know all of the bad things you’ve said about me behind my back.”
Zhao Yu was not boasting. When he saw the masked man talking to Cui Lizhu, he immediately used a Lip-Reading device in an attempt to figure out what the masked man was talking about. The reason he hadn’t fought back and let the other guys beat him was that he had been focused on seeing what the masked man had been saying.
Xiao Hang clapped his hands. “Then what are you waiting for? What did the masked man say?” he urged Zhao Yu.
“The point is, that guy was not saying anything useful,” Zhao Yu said, embarrassed. “I could only see that he was swearing constantly. He kept saying the f word.”
“Ah? A Japanese man swearing in Chinese?” Xiao Hang frowned. “Are you sure? Swearing at someone who’s in a coma? Why?”
Zhao Yu tried to think about what the man had said exactly. “No. I remember that he kept saying motherf*cker. I remember that he asked Cui Lizhu ‘Can you remember it? Where that thing is?’ And then he mentioned a photo.”
Hearing what Zhao Yu had to say, Cui Lizhu pouted and said, “I don’t know. What if he was not swearing? Maybe he was talking about his mother. Or my mother? My mother? But my mother is dead? Photo, a photo of my mother? If he can’t find my mother, he needs a photo? This is so strange. It doesn’t make sense to me.”
Zhao Yu shook his head. “That’s not what he meant. It’s easy for them to find out your mother’s information and get a photo of her. There must be something wrong with them. Cui, can you try to see if you can remember anything? You opened your eyes at that point and you said a lot to him, but I couldn’t see your mouth.”
“Wait! No.” Xiao Hang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, “Either that guy was swearing, or he was not saying mother*cker. Maybe the person he asked about is not Cui Lizhu’s mother, but someone else’s mother. Whose mother can it be? Tao Xiang’s mother? So, he was asking about Tao Xiang’s mother.”
“You’ve got a tongue twister there.” Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes at Xiao Hang.
“Tao Xiang is an orphan.” Zhao Yu shook his head. “He doesn’t know who his mother is. Neither does Cui Lizhu.”
“Oh, that’s true.” Cui Lizhu grabbed her hair angrily and said, “Who did I offend? Why are they all coming after me? What secret do I know about?”
“Keep calm. Don’t get excited.” Zhao Yu saw that Cui Lizhu was about to collapse and comforted her. “Well, don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.”
“We don’t have time. Let’s get out of this d*mn place first. Didn’t you just say that you put the bomb in another passage and detonated it?” Xiao Hang asked. “What about that bomb? Did it explode?”
“If it worked for us, I wouldn’t be here wasting time with you now.” Zhao Yu rolled eyes at Xiao Hang and said, “Even if it exploded in the passage, the passage would collapse. How could it create an exit?”
Xiao Hang pouted. “So we’re stuck here? You know, the passage above has collapsed. Even if the Secret Service found our location, it would still take them several days to find us. There is no food or water here. We will starve and die here.”
“It’s OK. There’s so much food here. You won’t die.” Li Jing, who had remained silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“Ah? Food?” Zhao Yu and the others turned around excitedly, but their faces were all black.
Li Jing was searching for something on the bodies of the dead people laying on the ground. It turned out that what she was talking about was not real food, but the bodies.
