The Lost Tomb : Extras & Special Stories

(Extra Story: 2015 Chinese New Year Special) Chapter 5: He Knows

All my body's functions stopped at this moment, and I knew I had been too enthusiastic.

My heart rate must have broken the meter, and I could still hear it hammering in my chest even after I had stopped so abruptly. Then, a wave of nausea surged up.

I was getting a little old. By the time I had started physical training, my prime had already passed. In the words of Black Glasses, there was no way to exercise your internal organs.

At this moment, the person I had just subdued woke up and started struggling.

He wasn't very strong, but I didn't have any remaining strength to subdue him again, so he managed to push me aside.

I looked at him, and was surprised to find that it was actually a woman in front of me. She was seventeen or eighteen at most, and had a radio hanging from her chest.

"Who are you?" She definitely wasn't Lu Sha—who I knew had to be a man—and she was way too young to be Seven Fingers.

The girl looked at me, and I saw she had a strange appearance. Her forehead was very big, and she looked very young, but her figure had already matured.

Was she Seven Fingers' daughter or mistress? I went to check her fingers, but she swiftly put her hands behind her back.

"Let me go. Let me go back." She pleaded.

"What the hell? Didn't you put us in here?" Through my anger, I saw the girl point to the radio on her chest and then point to the surrounding walls.

I didn't know what it meant, but I suddenly heard the time on the radio.

Seventeen sixteen.

The girl's face changed and she turned and ran.

I would probably only be able to move in fifteen minutes. As she ran away, my stomach convulsed and I tried to catch one of her hands. I missed, and by the time I looked up again, I saw her shadow disappear at the end of the passage.

As the adrenaline faded, the pain from where I had sprained my back before started to spread after doing such strenuous exercise. I leaned against the wall, panting and coughing while darkly cursing in my heart.

I made several attempts to run after her once I caught my breath, but found that I could no longer run.

Except for the dim gas lamps on the walls, it was too dark to see anything clearly, and my eyes became blurred due to the physical exhaustion.

What's going on? Between Seven Fingers, Lu Sha, Xiao Hua, me, and now a girl, we can even play "Three Kingdoms Kill"  [1] now. It seemed like this woman couldn't saying anything here. She pointed to the radio and then pointed to the wall. What did it mean?

I held the wall, got up, and turned on my phone's flashlight function. Fortunately, it was a knockoff, so it should be able to endure for a while.

Where was Xiao Hua?

This was a completely blank cement corridor, with no details or decorations. I looked up and found that the ceiling was so high that I couldn't see it. It was a bit like that back tunnel in the Xisha underwater tomb where both sides would close in, only this one was equipped with gas lamps.

It was a bit like a gap between two giant buildings.

I went forward with the help of the wall, but had only made it a dozen steps before I saw the girl lying on the ground. I had obviously really hurt her earlier.

Ah, Wu Xie, Wu Xie. After training so hard, and learning your skills, you fought for the first time and defeated an underage chick with a slight advantage.
