Without any hesitation, Poker-Face suddenly dropped his hand and instructed us to shoot. Fatty and I fired at the sa ti, quickly emptying two magazines.
A tongue of fla spewed out of each muzzle as we shot into the gap. If there was sothing in there, it definitely would've been hit.
When we were in the middle of reloading, Poker-Face raised his hand again. As a result, we didn't continue shooting after we reloaded but just stayed on the alert. He looked into the gap and stood at a stalemate for a long ti before he suddenly heard sothing else and jumped onto a tall rock.
Fatty and I also climbed up and saw a small figure crawling out of a stone crevice in the distance. It had obviously been shot but was moving very quickly to the place where the young man looked like he was ditating.
Fatty lifted his head and shot at it again. He definitely hit it, but that thing stood up and went behind a big rock until it was out of sight.
"As long as its a living thing, it definitely wont live for long," Fatty said.
That thing definitely wasnt a living thing considering how it didnt slow down even though it had obviously been hit, but I didnt know what it was.
One thing I did know, however, was that it was very vengeful. If we hit it, it would definitely cause trouble for us, just like how it was so persistent in killing Jin Wantang.
When I was in Hainan before, I clashed with a monkey on Monkey Island. I still rember the look in that monkey's eyes. After that, it followed the whole ti and suddenly attacked when I wasn't looking. Later, I got angry and chased it for four hours with a stick, but I ended up getting lectured by the security guards.
I turned to Fatty and Poker-Face and said, "Ive noticed a little problem here. To be honest, I originally couldnt rember Qi Yu at all since it was so long ago, but I suddenly rembered just now and then this Qi Yu suddenly appeared. I think the stones here are warning of sothing."
"What do you an?"
"The stones know that Qi Yu is here, hiding sowhere close by, so they warned . If I had realized it earlier, Jin Wantang wouldnt have died," I explained to them. "It can't give us the heavenly gift so its giving inspiration."
Fatty looked at the surrounding rocks and squinted at . "You an to say that these stones are warning you? But wait, arent these stones supposed to be the villain here?"
I was puzzled. Indeed, this was all very confusing.
I had always thought that the heavenly gift was very evil, but if the stones here were warning of the impending disaster, was my understanding of the heavenly gift too one-sided? Maybe there was actually a good side to this heavenly gift?
I looked at the sky and thought to myself, if theres anything else you want to warn about, now is the ti to tell . Any other insights? How about what the hell is going on here? Just give a hint!
After thinking about it, I said to Fatty, "Were trapped here and Jin Wantang wasnt saved. Theres still so food, but we can't wait around here and only take action once the food runs out. If we want to take action, we have to do it now."
I picked up the rope from where it was laying off to one side. When Fatty asked what I was doing, I said to him, "Little Brother can't receive any more heavenly gifts, so I have no choice but to take so risks. If these stones are really trying to warn of sothing, then I want to go to the edge of this area where the signal is strong. I want to see if there can be more exchanges or maybe we can negotiate."
Since the light barely reached the edge of the area, it looked very hazy over there. I would have to walk forward very slowly so that the two of them could pull back quickly if I carelessly went too far.
Poker-Face looked at , "The heavenly gift did not warn you."
"But the inspiration just now was so sudden."
I had suddenly rembered Qi Yu and then that thing appeared. Moreover, the whole process was very jumpy as my mind leaped from one thought to another. If it werent for sothing guiding , I wouldve never connected the doll from that ti to Qi Yu.
"Mr. Nave, don't mistakenly place your bets on the enemy," Fatty said. "If Little Brother said no, then thats that. If you want to talk about inspiration, then I had a flash of inspiration just now. Maybe the thing inspiring you was this stone here?"
"Which stone?"
"It's this stone here." He pointed to the shrine and continued, "Maybe this thing was warning you. After all, its protecting us, so it should be decent."
I looked at the shrine and walked over to it.
When Jin Wantang was dying just now, didnt it seem like he saw sothing in this direction? I thought about it and realized that it had been a long ti since I had used my peripheral vision to look at things. So, I turned my head and looked at the bronze piece out of the corner of my eye.

I've gotten so flak lately that I'm preventing skilled translators from working on DMBJ with my "terrible MTL" (downside of a contact form since everyone that comnts is so nice lol). Is that true? I haven't seen any other serious attempts besides like one or two random posts or stuff that's years old. I will totally step aside if soone skilled wanted to take over, but nobody has personally co up and been like "I want to take over, I think I can do better". When I started this last year, I just saw that nobody was working on it for ages and thought an edited MTL could at least get the general idea across (and then the lovely Tiffany and Yvette ca along to help with things). If you all know of soone who legit wanted to do all of this, feel free to let know. I'd love to have my free ti back lol. If not, I guess I'll keep trucking with my "terrible MTL" (yes, I'm salty about that phrasing since my shit is at least readable compared to so translated stuff hahaha)
