3rd Person POV
"So, what did you guys find?" Byeol asked as Shin Joo started emptying pouches full of jewellery, gold-silver, and everything that looked priceless.
"What is so special in this Jewellery box that he went to steal it?" Hye Jin asked, a confused frown etched on her face.
And as if to answer her, the long rectangle box Shin Joo opened shined bright, blinding everyone in the room, before revealing a golden ruler.
"What is this?" Byeol questioned.
"Is this really the golden ruler?" Shin Joo shrieked in excitement.
"Is it really?" Minho asked with almost the same impression.
"What is the golden ruler?" Hye Jin asked confused.
"Haven't you heard the legend? 'He who beholds the golden ruler will revive the dead and make his name known'. This item revives the dead when you measure the length and width of a corpse." Shin Joo explained as he examined the ruler.
"Why would such a thing be here?" Yeon raised an important question. "No one probably knew what it was used for."
"There was a rumour before that the king of Silla's ruler was found in a gold mine up north. I thought it was just a rumour." Rang spoke up, his eyes glued to the infamous golden ruler.
"Keeping aside how 'cool' this item sounds, the red-white mask needed it. He stole the guardian stone first and now this. Who is he trying to revive?" Hye Jin pointed them back to the topic at hand.
"Whoever it is, that person must mean a lot to him to steal it." Byeol said, her arms crossed.
Byeol got informed the same as Rang knows. They can't risk them both knowing they aren't from their universe plus it would not matter in a few weeks when Hye Jin, Yeon, Minho and Shin Joo go back to their own world.

Yeon, with focus, was measuring the steamed crab with the golden ruler to see if the story about it reviving the dead was true. Shin Joo and Yeon looked closely at it, waiting for something to happen.
