Yeah, final exam finally over and I'm back to business again! Sorry for the delay, let's start, shall we?

Other world, other me
Now, they just glad that they still had few kilometers away to Luo Yang, since Cai Wenji keeps asking them the same thing and they're getting tired of it! Along the way, they wanted to ask about the war, which they saw the village, but none of them dare to ask since Jiang Wei was practically not in the mood and it was best that they don't ask while he was around. Xu Huang quietly walks beside Cao Ren, hinting him to walk behind as they had something to ask. Cao Ren understood. He slows down his pace, let the others went forward while he and the others five were left behind, walk slowly.
Cao Ren: Alright, you could say now… (he looks front, making sure they're not suspicious anything especially Jiang Wei)
Xu Huang: So, uh…what's happen just now? Do you have any idea?
Cao Ren: Actually, I have no idea either. I didn't know Jiang Wei was sensitive with it…
Gan Ning: What do you mean sensitive? Is there something we're not suppose to know?
Cao Ren: Well, you could say that so… Some people could not accept what they are…
Ling Tong: Like Huang Gai…
Cao Ren: Yes, but he's not the only one who hate them, there're lots of them who hate them that much!
Ma Chao: Whoa, I never thought this war could bring this much vengeance…
Cao Ren: Even if there's no war between it, people still hate them…
Xu Huang: But why? Are they really that… bad?
Cao Ren: (he looks around, making sure no one was around, and whisper) Alright, before I tell you, do you have any idea about Huang Quan or Yellow Turban?
Xu Huang: Well, in our world… well, they're…inhuman… but I'm not talking about this world, right? (he looks at the others)
Ma Chao: I agree with him. Back in our world, there was such thing, but, we never thought in this world too…
Cao Ren: Then do you guys… hate them?
Ling Tong: Um…it's not that we hate them or what. Of course back in our world, we are, but, it's just that, since this is not our world, we have no idea what was going on and we can't say that we hate them…So, basically, we're clueless…
Cao Ren: I see… But still, I gonna warn you guys about this, whenever you mention about these 'people' which I mean 'monster', better watch your tongue. As you can see, there'll be someone who are as sensitive as them. (he point at Jiang Wei and Huang Gai) And you don't want to get yourself in that trouble, right? So I advice you to be more careful especially when you talk to someone who are those kind of people.
Xu Huang: Ok, we'll be careful about it, but, I still don't get the idea why they hate them that much?!
Cao Ren: Let's just say… it's all begin hundred years ago…
Gan Ning: Oh boy, another history… ouch! (he looks at Ling Tong which he hits his head)
Cao Ren: (he clears his throat) As you can see, hundred years ago, Huang Quan appears in this world. Although her true motive was unknown, but as you heard from Huang Gai, she was not a human. But to told you the truth, we don't know where she had gone either, it's just like… she vanishes in the thin air! So, basically, we have no clue about her, but as times goes by, she did forms a forces call 'Yellow Turban'. Although I'm not sure why she call that, but, those forces were not humans either!
Gan Ning: What? Not human?
Xu Huang: So, you're telling us that the whole time, you guys been fight against with those so call 'monster'? And that is why you hate them?
Cao Ren: Actually, the reasons of why being hated was unknown. I guess that was because they're different than us, and because of that, most of us terrified by their appearance and started to hunt them, kill them… But so far what I know was that those 'Monster' did wanted to take over the world. We tried our best to hold them off, and to tell you the truth, it was horrible. I heard that most of them were cruel and cold blooded. They would do anything in order to achieve their goal… not even a child…
Ma Chao: That was…really…
Xu Huang: In the end, who won the war…?
Cao Ren: Us…
Gan Ning: Well, serve them right! Huang Gai was right! They don't deserve to live at all!
Cao Ren: Even we did win the war, but, there was too much loss… We lost almost everything… from that bomb…
Ma Chao: What bomb…? Ek! (he startle, he didn't knew that Jiang Wei was right behind their back all this time)
Jiang Wei: Hm… I thought I say no more… hm?
Now, this really scares them! Most of them just jump up and look at him terrified. They could not sense his appearance at all, and this makes them startle. Jiang Wei looks at them blankly, they could not tell what he was thinking.
Jiang Wei: Well? Care to told me?
Ma Chao: Um… it's nothing! We're just…uh…
Ling Tong: Having conversation, that's all, nothing else!
Jiang Wei look at them, a face of 'he's not buying it'.
Jiang Wei: Unfortunately, I'm not buying that… (he walks towards them and pass through them) Next time, tried to find a place to talk, it's not safe to talk here… (then off he goes)
They looks at him dumbly, for the moment there, they thought they would gonna get a huge 'lecturer' from Jiang Wei. They look at each other, and decided to let go of the topic, for today.
On the other hand, Lu Xun looks at the ground, solemnly. At first, Cai Wenji wanted to cheer him up, but when she saw his expression, she decided to let go and continues the journey.
Few minutes had pass and they're on their way passing through a small road. In the middle of the road, they saw a monster sleeping on the roadside. The monster was rather huge, and some sort like a reptile type. Although there was no message came from Lu Xun's phone, they decided not to wake it and walk quietly. Unfortunately, the monster suddenly awake and attack them! They quickly held out their weapon and fight it. Huang Gai manages to shoots it down, but just as they think this was all over, there are a few more monster appear on the cliff, surrounded them! They jump down and attack them furiously. They tried their best to strike ever single one of them! But somehow it was useless, the more they strike, the more they appear! Slowly, they started to worn off and tired. "Jezz, how many things are there?! It's getting ridiculous!" Huang Gai started getting fed up and almost worn out. "This is no good, we have to fall back!" Ma Chao shout. "But how? They keep coming!" Ling Tong had strike another monster. "As long as we could get out of here…!" Gan Ning too had strike another down. "Hello, just in case you still not aware of the situation, we've been surrounded!" Ling Tong exclaimed. They look around, he was right, they've been surrounded! The monsters had surround them in circle in ready to attack them anytime soon! "Uh, guys, we better think of something before they do…" Xu Huang ask, although he had been battle most of his life, but this time, he had no idea how to get away from this kind of situation, especially dealing with these monster!
Just as they thought they gonna be a goner, a music came in. At first, they were confused of what had happen, and decided to look around. As they find who are the one playing it, it was Cai Wenji who now sitting on the floor and play her Erhu! "There's no time to play music now, woman! Help us out!" Gan Ning did not move an inch but shout at her. Somehow, Cai Wenji did not responses him and continue to play her Erhu. "What…what is she doing?" Huang Gai ask in disbelieving. As Cai Wenji continue to play, slowly, the monsters started to fell on the ground and doze off. They put down their weapons slowly and examine the monsters with caution. They were all asleep! Since they were all down, they quickly pass through them and run as fast as they could.
Once they reach the main road, they stop aside and rest.
Gan Ning: Phew, that was close!
Ling Tong: You could say that again…
Cao Ren: As long as we're here, they won't be chasing us anymore…
Ma Chao: What?! You mean that was their 'base' and we're just passing through?!
Jiang Wei: Seems to be…
Xu Huang: Then, why didn't you told us about that?!
Cao Ren: Actually, I never knew those are their 'base'…
Lu Xun: Still, we had to pass through it as this was the only route that could lead us to Luo Yang…
Ma Chao: Oh boy… (he slaps his own head)
Huang Gai: But still, I'm impress! I never thought that your music could make them sleep! What's the song you play? How did you done it? (he looks at Cai Wenji with amazement)
Cai Wenji: Huh? Me? (she do a pose of thinking)
Huang Gai: Yeah, yeah!
Lu Xun: Ten, nine, eight, seven…
Gan Ning: What're you counting for?
Lu Xun: …six, five, four, three, two, one…
Cai Wenji: Sorry, I don't remember at all! What did I do again? (she smiles at them and started to ask, which most of them just drop their head)
Lu Xun: That's what I'm counting for…
Xu Huang: Should knew that…
Ling Tong: Yeah, after all, she was a forgetful…
Cao Ren: Anyway, Luo Yang just few more miles from here, we should go now.
As they reach the destination, they saw nothing but dead end. They look every corner to look for a place to pass through, but find none!
Xu Huang: Uh, Cao Ren… are you sure this was the direction cuz… it's a dead end…
Cao Ren: (he took out the map and look carefully. He inspected it again and again but the answer could not came to him which makes him out of idea) Actually… I don't know…
Ma Chao: What?! What do you mean you don't know? You never came before?
Cao Ren: (he show the map to them and point the direction) Sorry, I never went to Luo Yang before, so basically I have no idea about it… but, it's stated here, as you can see…
Xu Huang: Then how about you guys, don't tell me you guys too… (somehow, Jiang Wei and Huang Gai shook their head. None of them went to Lou Yang and basically they had no idea of how Luo Yang looks like)
Ling Tong: Ok… since no one came before… then I guess we'll follow the map then…
Ma Chao: But, the problem is… it's a dead end! What'll we do now?
Huang Gai: Do you think we just miss out or mistook the direction?
Gan Ning: What?! If that was the case, please don't tell me we gotta go back there and pass through those reptiles again…
Wei Yan: Any… sign…?
Jiang Wei: (he looks around. They are right. They might had got lost or mistook the direction.) Maybe we should turn back for awhile and search carefully, it should be around here…somewhere…
Ling Tong: Ok then, but better do it soon cuz it's almost getting dark...
They look at the sky and he was right. The sky was red in color and soon became dark. Just as they wanted to turn back, Lu Xun stops them.
Lu Xun: Wait! Where are you going?
Gan Ning: Where else? This not the place…
Ma Chao: We're going back and search one more time, we might had lost it just now…
Lu Xun: But, why do you need to search again since it's already here?
Gan Ning: (he walks towards Lu Xun, slightly holding his collar) What do you mean it's already here?! You see that? (he point the mountain which it was obviously no road in front of it) It's dead end! And there are no road for us to pass and we're turning back and look for it… now! (which he was obviously screaming at Lu Xun's ear)
Lu Xun: (he flinch for awhile and regain his position) Well, at least you could hear this out first… Luo Yang is just here, come… (he walk off, lead them, and point at it)
At first, they thought it was a joke! For what they saw, it was a cave. Lu Xun did not say anything but kept quiet. They look at Lu Xun with an eye of 'are you serious?' Lu Xun just walk in, follow by Cai Wenji. They wanted to stop the both of them, but they ignore and continue to walk in. With no choice, they follow them and catch up with Lu Xun before they got lost.
Cao Ren: You know, I'm still not quite sure about this, are you sure this is the place? According to the map, it was suppose to be…
Lu Xun: …somewhere around here… Yes, I'm sure of it! It's just ahead us!
Huang Gai: But how did you know? You came here before?
Jiang Wei: My guess was yes, you're a hunter right? You probably had gone lots of places in the world…
Lu Xun: True, but not all. There are places I haven't went yet, so I can't say I've traveled a lot since I did not travel for these few years…
Huang Gai: Well, if that's the case, you came here before right?
Lu Xun: Well, actually no…
Huang Gai: No? Then how you know it's right here?
Lu Xun: (he takes out his phone and show them) I… I use my phone for the source, see, I could check where was the place… anyway, we almost there… (he quickly puts it back and walks toward, as if fear that he might been ask any further)
Gan Ning: …Almost there? Cool! I was just wonder how it will looks like? Would it be as merrier as Jiang Dong? Or would it be as gloomy as He Fei…
Ling Tong: Well, we'll find that out once we reach there…
Xu Huang: Lu Xun, are you sure this is the place? I mean… aren't Luo Yang a town? Why do we need to go through here?
Ma Chao: Wait, I know, I bet it's just right across this cave, right?
Lu Xun: Uh… actually, Luo Yang was a …
Gan Ning: Hey I know, maybe it's a city that was full of mystery, that's why we need to find it harder…
Ling Tong: No you idiot, a town won't need any mystery…
Gan Ning: Well, what do you know about it…
Ling Tong: No, you listen here…
Lu Xun: *sigh*
But what they did not notice was that, Jiang Wei was suspicious towards Lu Xun. He puts a finger under his chin and recall what he had just say. As he tried to think about it, he feels something was wrong with his statement. But in the end, he decided not to think about it and act accordingly.
Few minutes had pass, they still haven't reach the place yet and they're started to get impatience!
Huang Gai: Argh! Lu Xun! You say we almost there! But! We've been walking for hours and we're not arrived yet! I swear I gotta kill you if we lost this time!
Lu Xun: For thousand times! We almost there! And it's just few minutes pass, that's all!
Ma Chao: Lu Xun… do you aware that you've been saying the same thing ever since we enter the cave?
Lu Xun: Look! I'm actually showing the way, and I'm telling the truth, it's just ahead us…
Gan Ning: *sigh* Lu Xun, if you really don't know the way, just… tell us… We won't blame you… huh?
Lu Xun stops for a sudden and looks at Gan Ning with stern eye.
Lu Xun: If you're saying that we got lost, no, we're not! So, shut up and walk! (he turn and continue to walk.)
Ma Chao: But! How long could it be? We've been like… walking few hours…
Lu Xun: *sigh* You guys really doesn't know how to calculate the time… Look, it's just straight ahead, once we cross the bridge, then, we'll be there.
Xu Huang: Are you sure?
Lu Xun: Yes, I'm sure!
Huang Gai: Better be! I had enough walking for today!
Lu Xun: *sigh* Yes, yes…
Just as Lu Xun say, there was a bridge. There was a small waterfall beside the bridge, and they look underneath it, notice that it was way higher than they thought! As they cross over, they could heard some noises coming from the other side.
Gan Ning: Hey, I could heard some noise here, so, we're almost there, right Lu Xun? (somehow, Lu Xun was too fed up to say a thing and ignore him)
Xu Huang: Hm… but still, don't you think its weird? I mean, this is a cave right? Then how would a town fits in it…?
Ma Chao: That's echo, Xu Huang. I bet there're still long way to go, right Lu Xun? Lu Xun?
Cai Wenji: What's wrong? You seem quiet…
Lu Xun: *sigh* Whatever I say you guys won't believe me… So, why do I need to waste my breathe on it? You'll soon know enough…
They look at each other and shrug. They're not sure what had coming into him.
Once they cross over the bridge, Lu Xun walks towards and searching for something. He burns down the branches and leaves, and cut off the remaining branches. When everything was clear, he leads them again and follow the path.
Now the noise are getting clearer. Just few more steps, they saw bright light coming through the entrance. To their surprise, it was an underground town! From the top view, the town was merrier than Jiang Dong and most of the places are bright up in light! Plus, there're lots of fancy decorations and entertainments all around the town! When they saw this whole event, most of their eyes open wide big and some open their mouth, hanging in the air in amazement!
Ma Chao: Now this really open my eyes…
Gan Ning: Whoa… awesome…
Xu Huang: So… this is… Luo Yang?
Lu Xun: Yes, now let's go. (he leads the other to the other side and meet a bunny lady who stands in front of the elevator.)
Bunny Lady: Good evening Lady Cai, is this your friends? (Wenji just smiles and nod at her) Then welcome to Luo Yang! Oh, by the way, they've been waiting for you at the stage, mainly about the next event. Please meet them there. (she switches a button and the elevator's door open) Please step in here in order to proceed…
Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Cai Wenji, Huang Gai and Cao Ren went in the elevator, except the other five. They look at each other and wondering why they had to went in the big box and what kind of trick it'll do.
Ma Chao: Maybe it's just me thinking too much, but, why do we need to went in the…box?
Xu Huang: Well, I have no idea…
Huang Gai: Hey! Why are you guys still standing there, coming in already!
They look at the elevator, and slowly look down the path. They gulp, and look back at their friends who had went in the elevator. They're not sure whether they should went in or not since they're not familiar with this whole place. They look at each other one last time, and brace themselves. Xu Huang, Ling Tong, and Ma Chao manage to went in. As they look behind, Gan Ning and Wei Yan were still standing outside and they don't even dare to went in.
Gan Ning: Why don't you went in, mask boy?
Wei Yan: Me…later…go…in…You…go…first…
Gan Ning: Nah ah, you went in first, then I go…
Wei Yan: Me…no…go…in… You…
Gan Ning: No, you first, I'm actually letting you go first…
Wei Yan: You…in…Me…later…
Gan Ning: No… you first
Wei Yan: You…first…
Huang Gai: Hey, are you done already?! Come in this instance!
Now, Gan Ning and Wei Yan look at each other. They're actually scare about it and they doubt! They still dilly deli about it and it really makes the other friends…annoy.
Ling Tong: Oh, come on now, don't tell me you guys are actually scare about this thing… didn't you? (well, he was right, they are scare!)
Lu Xun: It's call elevator…
Ling Tong: Well, what ever! Anyway, you guys better come in now before we make you! Whether you like it or not!
Cao Ren: Yes, we still have some errant to do…
Cai Wenji: Don't worry, it'll be fun!
Gan Ning: That's what makes me afraid the most! How do I know this thing not gonna fall or what!
Jiang Wei: Well, it's well design and manufactured. So don't worry about it…
Gan Ning: Yeah, but, what if it's not?!
Lu Xun: *sigh* You know, for someone like a pirate ass you are, you did have a weakness didn't you, scary cat!
Gan Ning: Hey watch your mouth midget! I'm not scare at all! It's just… unsafe!
Lu Xun: Unsafe? Cry out loud! If you think this is not safe at all, then why the heck we went in the first place?!
Gan Ning: Well, that's because I don't feel right, that's all!
Lu Xun: Just admit you're scare about it…
Gan Ning: What did you say?!
Ma Chao: Enough! If we keep on like this, they'll never went in!
Huang Gai: So what's your excuse mask boy? Don't tell me you're scare too…
Wei Yan: (he slightly lower his head with embarrassment) Yea…
Lu Xun: See? At least someone was telling the truth! Unlike someone…
Gan Ning: Hey!
Jiang Wei: Well, Ma Chao was right. If we keep on like this, it'll take ages to do so. Still, why don't you guys just come in, it is safe!
Gan Ning: Not in my life!
Wei Yan: Me…too…
Cao Ren: Oh boy…
Bunny Lady: I'm sorry to interrupt, but could you please hurry up? There are some customers need to use it… (she usually won't rush a customer but, this time is a bit different and she was a bit embarrass to do so)
Jiang Wei: (he quickly bow to the lady for apologizes) Uh… we're sorry about this. Could you gives us a moment, please?
Ling Tong: Well, you heard it! Come in already!
Gan Ning: No!
They quickly turn behind and whisper among themselves, advancing a plan. Although Gan Ning and Wei Yan wanted to know what they're talking about, but to their worst nightmare, Ma Chao and Ling Tong turn and face them, and they're not sound like they're friendly at all!
Ma Chao: Oh Wei Yan…
Ling Tong: Oh Gan Ning…
Ma Chao and Ling Tong: We had a little surprise for you… (the both of them walk out from the elevator and wanted to catch them!)
Gan Ning and Wei Yan aware about it and wanted to run away, but, before they could do it, both of their hands and legs were caught and carried by their friends, ready to went inside the elevator! They scream as loud as they could, not wanting to went in! Once they went in, Cai Wenji ask the Bunny Lady to close the door. She did as she was told, and look at them with a sweat drop on her head. But before the door fully close, Bunny Lady greet them to had some fun! But unfortunately, both Gan Ning and Wei Yan scream at the same time and eventually, they could not heard anything of what the girl had say…Pity…
Well, that's all for this chapter. Keep update with me.
