[01:39] Nono
    Where am I?
[01:44] Lu Mingfei
    Are we in Hell? I don't see anybody...
[01:48] Nono
    You talk too much even when you're dead.
[01:50] Nono
    Norma, what's the air quality in here?
[01:53] Norma
    Good.
[01:56] Lu Mingfei
    Is that safe?
[01:58] Nono
    I want to conserve oxygen.
[01:59] Nono
    You do the same, quickly.
[02:01] Lu Mingfei
    Okay.
[02:03] Lu Mingfei
    The air's great down here.
[02:06] Nono
    That's strange.
[02:06] Lu Mingfei
    I can't believe there's fresh air down here!
[02:07] Nono
    This place was sealed for ages.
[02:09] Nono
    The air should be stale. So why?
[02:12] Klein
    Chen Motong. Lu Mingfei.
[02:13] Klein
    Report!
[02:15] Nono
    Nothing unusual to report.
[02:16] Nono
    We're inside the palace.
[02:18] Nono
    We're searching the corridor.
[02:20] Klein
    The presence of a long corridor indicates
    that this is likely an ancient grave.
[02:26] Lu Mingfei
    It looks like a shrine
    for some weird cult...
[02:28] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe they'll sacrifice us to their god?
[02:31] Klein
    It's inexplicable.
[02:33] Klein
    A space just like that found above ground...
[02:36] Norma
    It's likely that when
    Ye Sheng and Aki were here,
[02:40] Norma
    there was only a tiny amount
    of air inside the palace.
[02:44] Norma
    The most likely explanation is that
    the palace's owner has returned,
[02:47] Norma
    and activated its systems once more.
[02:49] Lu Mingfei
    It's owner... The dragon's close?
[02:53] Norma
    By owner, I mean Dragon Emperor Norton.
[02:55] Norma
    Only he could reactivate the palace.
[02:58] Lu Mingfei
    Dragon Emperor?
[02:59] Lu Mingfei
    But, Professor, he's resting
    and can't wake up, right?
[03:05] Klein
    That should be correct,
[03:06] Klein
    but it's also possible that
    he's awake and active.
[03:09] Lu Mingfei
    You're kidding me.
[03:11] Nono
    Do we place the bomb in the dragon's lair?
[03:13] Klein
    That would be the most certain way.
[03:15] Klein
    But your top priority is
    to make it back alive.
[03:18] Nono
    How do we find the lair?
[03:20] Klein
    First, try to drink the water.
[03:23] Lu Mingfei
    Me?
[03:24] Nono
    Who else?
[03:29] Lu Mingfei
    It's potable.
[03:30] Klein
    Then the palace is active once more.
[03:34] Klein
    The dragon's body needs fresh
    water and oxygen to recover.
[03:38] Klein
    Lu Mingfei,
[03:39] Klein
    pour the dye in the water and follow it.
[03:43] Klein
    All the water should
    flow towards the lair.
[03:46] Lu Mingfei
    That makes sense!
[03:52] Lu Mingfei
    These statues are kind of freaking me out!
[03:55] Nono
    Stop being such a wuss!
[04:03] Lu Mingfei
    It's a long walk.
[04:05] Lu Mingfei
    Are we not there yet?
[04:07] Nono
    The ancients worshiped the Dragon Emperors
    as gods, and came to worship them.
[04:12] Nono
    They would come by ship to this palace,
[04:14] Nono
    and be met with a statue of the
    Dragon Emperor made of bronze.
[04:18] Nono
    They offered grains, meat,
[04:20] Nono
    and a young girl as sacrifices
    to pray to the Dragon Emperor.
[04:25] Nono
    But their prayers went unheeded.
[04:27] Nono
    The village chief thought that the
    Dragon Emperor disliked the offerings,
[04:31] Nono
    and took his own life.
[04:32] Nono
    But his village was burned to
    ash by the Dragon Emperor.
[04:36] Lu Mingfei
    Was the girl okay?
[04:38] Nono
    She was killed at the altar when
    she was offered as a sacrifice.
[04:42] Nono
    Whether the Dragon Emperor
    was satisfied or not,
[04:44] Nono
    she wasn't going to make it home.
[04:45] Lu Mingfei
    This tree...
[04:47] Nono
    This is probably where Ye Sheng
    and Aki came last time.
[04:50] Lu Mingfei
    So this is where they died, right?
[04:53] Lu Mingfei
    It's dangerous here! Let's get away!
[04:58] Lu Mingfei
    Huh?
[04:59] Lu Mingfei
    The flow stopped...
[05:01] Lu Mingfei
    So is this the lair, then?
[05:02] Lu Mingfei
    Let's leave the bomb and go!
[05:05] Lu Mingfei
    What's wrong?
[05:15] Lu Mingfei
    This bronze statue...
[05:18] Nono
    If the snake-faced statues
    were its servitors,
[05:21] Nono
    then this must be Dragon Emperor Norton.
[05:24] Nono
    So this truly is a holy place, then.
[05:28] Lu Mingfei
    So this is the spot!
[05:31] Lu Mingfei
    Let's leave the bomb and go!
[05:32] Nono
    Wait. Put your mask on.
[05:36] Lu Mingfei
    Why?
[05:37] Nono
    Face forward.
[05:40] Nono
    Don't move.
[05:41] Lu Mingfei
    S-Senpai?!
[05:49] Nono
    The water's flowing downwards,
    so there must be a passage below.
[05:53] Nono
    Norton is someplace where
    he can't easily be found.
[05:56] Nono
    There must be another room.
[05:59] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe he's got odd tastes?
[06:01] Lu Mingfei
    Look at this pool!
[06:02] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe he likes to nap here!
[06:05] Nono
    Remember what I said?
[06:06] Nono
    The Dragon Emperor only appears
    when the sacrifice pleases him.
[06:10] Nono
    So perhaps there's a path
    that leads to his lair here.
[06:14] Nono
    So shut up and follow me!
[06:16] Lu Mingfei
    Will do, Senpai! Sis! Boss!
[06:19] Lu Mingfei
    But, boss...
[06:20] Nono
    Quiet!
[06:21] Lu Mingfei
    'Kay...
[06:24] Klein
    Nono, have you found anything?
[06:27] Nono
    Maybe, but visibility is poor.
[06:30] Klein
    Be careful.
[06:32] Klein
    When you find the lair—
[06:34] Nono
    Shut up! Don't grab my leg!
[06:34] Klein
    What's wrong? What happened?!
[06:37] Nono
    I think we went one level down.
[06:39] Nono
    And this...
[06:46] Nono
    feels like a graveyard.
[06:52] Klein
    Why are there so many bones?
[06:55] Klein
    What happened here in the palace?
[06:59] Klein
    It's clear that whatever
    it was, many people died.
[07:02] Lu Mingfei
    All of the bones have burn marks.
[07:06] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe they were burned to death.
[07:10] Pilot
    Quite possibly.
[07:12] Pilot
    In the past, someone must have
    attacked the Dragon Emperor's lair.
[07:17] Pilot
    You're standing on an ancient battlefield.
[07:20] Nono
    Two thousand years ago,
[07:22] Nono
    soldiers attacked the Dragon Emperor's lands.
[07:26] Nono
    Just like they did during the legendary
    battle against the Black Dragon Emperor.
[07:30] Nono
    At the entrance to the lair,
    they were burnt by flames.
[07:34] Nono
    All of them died.
[07:35] Klein
    That doesn't matter now.
[07:37] Klein
    Find the entrance.
[07:42] Lu Mingfei
    Is something stuck to my face?
[07:44] Nono
    Will you give me your right hand?
[07:48] Lu Mingfei
    What is it?
[07:51] Nono
    Don't move.
[07:53] Lu Mingfei
    That smile's making my heart race.
[07:55] Nono
    This should be the spot.
[07:58] Lu Mingfei
    Don't tell me...
[08:01] Nono
    It may look like just normal ground,
[08:03] Nono
    but it has a protector god
    guarding the entrance.
[08:06] Nono
    So...
[08:07] Lu Mingfei
    You want my blood to open it?
[08:10] Nono
    I knew it.
[08:13] Lu Mingfei
    Is that...
[08:15] Lu Mingfei
    A tornado?
[08:17] Lu Mingfei
    What do we do?
[08:19] Nono
    Hang on!
[08:22] Pilot
    Communication lost!
[08:22] Nono
    Communication Lost
[08:23] Pilot
    The ropes have been cut!
[08:26] Caesar
    Black wind, become my eyes.
[08:27] Caesar
    Yanling: Sickle Weasel.
[08:29] Klein
    Fill the sky and earth, and deliver
    unto me the pulse of all that lives.
[08:33] Klein
    Now go!
[08:34] Klein
    Vacuum Serpent!
[08:38] Caesar
    Nono.
[08:40] Lu Mingfei
    What's going on?
[08:42] Lu Mingfei
    Help me!

[08:53] Lu Mingfei
    I think we're here...
[08:56] Nono
    This isn't...
[09:00] Nono
    what I was expecting!
[09:03] Lu Mingfei
    Then we're...
[09:04] Nono
    Let's look around!
[09:09] Nono
    Looks like you need more basic training.
[09:12] Lu Mingfei
    Don't underestimate me.
[09:13] Lu Mingfei
    I need more of every type of training!
[09:16] Lu Mingfei
    This place is really run-down.
[09:18] Lu Mingfei
    You think the Dragon Emperor's broke?
[09:20] Nono
    Is this his lair?
[09:22] Nono
    Let's look!
[09:24] Lu Mingfei
    Knock first!
[09:26] Nono
    It's fine.
[09:28] Nono
    Nobody's here.
[09:30] Lu Mingfei
    You're right.
[09:32] Lu Mingfei
    This place looks so normal.
[09:34] Lu Mingfei
    That candle's lit... It hasn't been
    like that for 2,000 years, right?
[09:39] Nono
    It's been burning a long time because
    it's connected to a fuel source.
[09:43] Nono
    Let's ask Norma.
[09:45] Lu Mingfei
    What's wrong?
[09:46] Nono
    That's odd...
[09:47] Nono
    Looks like they got cut off when we dived.
[09:49] Lu Mingfei
    Oh, no!
[09:49] Nono
    It's fine. It should be in that graveyard.
[09:52] Nono
    We can just use your blood to
    get outside, then reconnect it.
[09:56] Lu Mingfei
    Again?
[09:57] Lu Mingfei
    That hurts, you know.
[09:59] Nono
    Let's look into this room, for now.
[10:15] Nono
    AD 36 - Fortune-telling Unknown...
[10:16] Nono
    Fortune-telling?
[10:22] Nono
    Sit down there! Now!
[10:23] Lu Mingfei
    What's this about?
[10:25] Nono
    I'm profiling.
[10:27] Lu Mingfei
    Senpai...
[10:29] Lu Mingfei
    What's this pro-whatsits stuff?
[10:31] Lu Mingfei
    Um...
[10:32] Nono
    A psychological approach often
    used in criminal investigations.
[10:36] Nono
    You use evidence to get into the criminal's
    mind, and copy their actions.
[10:41] Nono
    So be quiet.
[10:43] Nono
    I want to concentrate.
[10:47] Nono
    Even if I say something weird,
[10:50] Nono
    don't get surprised or interfere.
[10:53] Nono
    And...
[10:55] Nono
    protect me.
[10:57] Lu Mingfei
    Protect her?
[10:58] Lu Mingfei
    Is she detecting danger?
[11:00] Nono
    Why are you being quiet?
[11:02] Nono
    You're tired.
[11:03] Norton
    You're tired.
[11:04] Nono
    You always go someplace far away, Brother...
[11:04] Constantine
    You always go someplace far away, Brother...
[11:08] Nono
    I'm worried.
[11:08] Constantine
    I'm worried.
[11:11] Lu Mingfei
    Don't tell me...
[11:13] Lu Mingfei
    She's recreating their conversation
    from 2000 years ago?
[11:17] Nono
    Don't worry.
[11:17] Norton
    Don't worry.
[11:20] Norton
    I'm just tired.
[11:24] Norton
    Nobody can hurt me.
[11:26] Norton
    And...
[11:27] Norton
    We're far away from our homeland.
[11:30] Constantine
    But, Brother, you always
    talk about going home.
[11:35] Constantine
    Brother, I want to live until the
    day we can go back together.
[11:55] Lu Mingfei
    Thanks...
[11:57] Constantine
    Brother!
[11:58] Lu Mingfei
    Stay away!
[12:03] Lu Mingfei
    Senpai?
[12:04] Nono
    A man and a boy lived here...
[12:07] Nono
    They were brothers.
[12:09] Nono
    The younger was quiet, and sickly.
[12:12] Nono
    He would make all kinds of things...
[12:15] Nono
    And his older brother would
    always watch over him.
[12:19] Nono
    They spent most of their time here.
[12:23] Nono
    The older would teach
    the younger to write.
[12:27] Nono
    In winter they'd warm
    their bodies by the fire.
[12:32] Nono
    The older brother loved the younger.
[12:34] Nono
    But he was very strict.
[12:36] Nono
    He was lonely.
[12:38] Nono
    And at twilight, he would always
    silently stare into the distance.
[12:44] Nono
    I'm sure of it!
[12:46] Nono
    This is the lair of Dragon Emperor Norton!
[12:50] Lu Mingfei
    That's amazing, Senpai!
    You have superpowers!
[12:54] Nono
    I can't use a yanling, so I'm
    good at profiling instead.
[12:58] Nono
    Maybe it's thanks to my bloodline.
[13:00] Nono
    My profiling is always accurate.
[13:03] Nono
    When I first met you, I profiled you and
    guessed most of what I needed to know.
[13:08] Nono
    When you solved that map and
    everyone was applauding you,
[13:12] Nono
    you probably wondered why I looked so upset.
[13:17] Nono
    Someday you might regret it.
[13:21] Nono
    I could tell that instinctively.
[13:23] Nono
    So I was waiting for you to say you'd
    leave the school and go back to Shin.
[13:29] Nono
    But you stayed.
[13:31] Nono
    So I decided you could be my lackey.
[13:33] Nono
    Since I'm the one who invited you here.
[13:35] Nono
    I'll protect you, like I said.
[13:40] Lu Mingfei
    If what she said is right,
    that's an awful prophecy!
[13:44] Lu Mingfei
    A-Anyway!
[13:45] Lu Mingfei
    We need to set this bomb, right?
[13:48] Lu Mingfei
    We're running low on oxygen...
[13:50] Nono
    Yes. It took us 30 minutes to get here,
[13:54] Nono
    but on our way back we'll
    just be following the rope.
[13:56] Nono
    Fifteen minutes will do.
[13:58] Nono
    And 10 minutes to get to the graveyard...
[14:00] Nono
    And we'll give ourselves
    a 20-minute head start...
[14:03] Nono
    Let's say 45 minutes.
[14:04] Lu Mingfei
    We don't need to put more thought into that?
[14:06] Nono
    Don't worry. It's fine.
[14:08] Lu Mingfei
    What is?
[14:09] Nono
    We can take this—
[14:11] Lu Mingfei
    What's wrong?
[14:13] Nono
    This isn't quite what I thought.
[14:15] Nono
    There's no pipe for the fuel to come from.
[14:17] Nono
    Somebody just filled this.
[14:21] Lu Mingfei
    Maybe Dragon Emperor Norton
    hired a part-timer?
[14:29] Lu Mingfei
    The Dragon Emperor's really here?!
[14:32] Nono
    Use the waterwheel to touch the ceiling!
[14:42] Lu Mingfei
    Where's the ropes?
[14:44] Lu Mingfei
    I don't see them!
[14:45] Lu Mingfei
    Where did they go?
[14:46] Nono
    They certainly weren't washed
    away by the water.
[14:50] Nono
    Somebody took them.
[14:51] Lu Mingfei
    No, that's impossible!
[14:53] Lu Mingfei
    The Dragon Emperor's a thief?!
[14:54] Nono
    The water pressure's getting weaker.
[14:57] Nono
    Something's happening.
[14:59] Lu Mingfei
    Something?
[15:04] Nono
    The palace has come to life.
[15:06] Nono
    Somebody pushed the switch?
[15:07] Nono
    They're using the force from the
    emptying water to activate the palace!
[15:12] Nono
    They're destroying it on their own!
[15:14] Lu Mingfei
    Why?
[15:15] Nono
    We're going down!
[15:15] Nono
    Hurry!
[15:16] Nono
    Use your blood!
[15:22] Nono
    This place is falling apart, too!
[15:23] Nono
    We need to search for a way out!
[15:24] Lu Mingfei
    It's the same...
[15:26] Lu Mingfei
    It's the same as what happened
    to Ye Sheng and Aki.
[15:28] Nono
    What do you mean?
[15:30] Lu Mingfei
    Then...
[15:31] Lu Mingfei
    Then the exit must be in the same place!
[15:35] Nono
    We'll bet on it.
[15:36] Nono
    Let's go!
[15:40] Nono
    Found it!
[15:42] Nono
    Watch the valve on your wrist.
[15:44] Nono
    If it breaks and your oxygen leaks out,
    you'll never make it to the surface.
[15:48] Nono
    Got it?
[15:49] Lu Mingfei
    Yeah.
[15:51] Lu Mingfei
    What's wrong?
[15:53] Nono
    Sorry. I made you dive.
[15:56] Nono
    I figured you'd be okay
    with me protecting you.
[15:59] Lu Mingfei
    I can't die.
[16:01] Lu Mingfei
    Before I dived, the Professor
    told me to make out a will.
[16:04] Lu Mingfei
    But I didn't write anything. I just put
    a white piece of paper in the envelope.
[16:08] Lu Mingfei
    So, uh...
[16:08] Nono
    I did the same.
[16:10] Nono
    I didn't have anything to write.
[16:14] Lu Mingfei
    Then, Caesar is...
[16:16] Nono
    If I don't make it back,
    he can forget about me.
[16:20] Nono
    I'm sure lots of girls like him.
[16:27] Nono
    Now open the damn door, S-rank.
[16:31] Lu Mingfei
    I'll change my name from
    Ricardo to Ali Baba.
[16:34] Lu Mingfei
    Open, sesame!
[16:36] Klein
    It's been 15 minutes.
[16:38] Klein
    We might be running out of time.
[16:40] Caesar
    We should be diving down there now!
[16:43] Caesar
    If my buddy can't go, I'll go alone!
[16:45] Caesar
    They should have an hour
    and a half of oxygen.
[16:48] Klein
    My Vacuum Serpent extends
    to the bottom of the dam.
[16:52] Klein
    The ground's changing violently down there.
[16:55] Klein
    You understand that, right?
[16:58] Klein
    We don't know what's going down
    at the bottom of the dam.
[17:01] Klein
    The Dragon Emperor may already be awake.
[17:03] Klein
    Our goal in coming here was
    to kill the Dragon Emperor.
[17:08] Klein
    So for now, I can't let you go down there.
[17:13] Klein
    If they're alive, we don't need to
    worry about their oxygen just yet.
[17:18] Klein
    If an hour passes, you can go down then.
[17:33] Nono
    Your hand!
[17:38] Lu Mingfei
    Why are we stopping?
[17:40] Nono
    Look around you.
[17:44] Nono
    We're lost.
[17:46] Nono
    With the ropes, we might've
    been able to ask Norma.
[17:50] Nono
    But without a miracle, I think...
[17:54] Lu Mingfei
    A miracle...
[17:56] Lu Mingfei
