Book 1: Chapter 52

From Fatty's point of view, I was definitely crazy. I still didnt understand why I could see what they couldnt see, but I was willing to believe that what I was seeing might not be real. Poker-Face had asked me if I had hallucinated, after all.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Fatty looked in the direction I was speaking several times as the three of us continued moving forward. "Youre too forceful, he said after a while. Were in someone elses territory. Dont offend them." He then arched his hand in the air, "Well, this Mr. Nave has never been in love. He's very straightforward, so I hope you dont mind what he says. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Im sure you can definitely find a better one, right? Anyway, youve been single for more than a thousand years, so you shouldnt sell yourself short. Let me tell you, he has athlete's foot. You wont be able to stand it."

After walking a few more steps, I found that all my hair was standing on end. The leather figurine womans appearance lingered in my mind, but I didn't want to look back.

We went more than a dozen meters before I dared look back again. I found that it hadnt followed me, which made me wonder if it was an illusion or some kind of special mechanism. I couldnt see the ground since it was underwater, but maybe there were some tracks and dark wheels under the waters surface.

At this time, we finally saw an exit. We got closer to it and found that it was another deep well, which probably led to another tomb chamber.

"Liu Sang said before that there were people everywhere down there, Fatty continued. Maybe he saw those paper dolls youve been seeing. If thats the case, then the female figurines are probably on another level. I bet theyre very special."

As the three of us began climbing the stone beams, Fatty said in between gasping for breath, "The main tomb chamber may also be filled with these leather figurines. You said that one of them not only looked like a woman, but was also very delicate. I bet its a high-quality good from the main tomb chamber, but it somehow fell into the waterway. Moreover, when I think about those people we saw earlier, they seemed to be constructed of human skin. If the main tomb chamber is above, then I bet its full of those kinds of things."

The leather figurine womans hands had been broken, so I couldnt see her fingernails. But if what Fatty said was true, then the skin of these figurines must have been flayed off the servants together with their fingernails.

If the nails of the dead could continue growing, did that mean the nails attached to these leather figurines could also keep growing? But how?

Climbing up the beams was hard work, so the three of us stopped talking and focused on climbing all the way to the top of the well. A huge hole appeared above us and there were signs of blasting damage around it. I looked at it and thought to myself, based on this size, Uncle Three mustve taken the coffin out from here.
