Original subtitles

Typhoon's coming in strong.

Southwest's biggest storm

Coastal residents, prepare for impact.

Fishing boats, get to port fast.

If you need help,

dial the maritime rescue hotline.

Wasn't talking about a storm before.

How'd the weather turn so fast?

Can't be that legend, right?

Cut the nonsense.

Retrieve the nets, now.

Lockie said so.

That minister Iv Jia,

was eaten by a sea monster out at sea.

This is where it happened.

Don't get fooled by Lockie's scare stories.

They're just trying to grab the sea.

What's that?

Bro.

Bro.

Bro.

Are we gonna end up buried here?

Why's it so calm all of a sudden?

Did you hear something?

Bro, don't scare me.

We really entered ghost waters.

Is anyone there?

Save me.

I am the Prime Minister.

Iv Jia of Nanyue.

I bestow upon you treasures.

Everything here is yours.

Save me.

Save.

Carvings match stone

Yue people worship snakes

Special pattern from Nanyue

Two fishermen saw Iv Jia

When Emperor Wu conquered

Iv Jia tried to flee with treasures.

He was beheaded by General Lu Bode.

Not by a sea monster.

Confirm the typhoon's landing time.

Protect ourselves before it hits.

Okay.

This is the main gate.

Is this really Iv Jia's tomb?

Run.

It's a sonic attack.

Don't move.

Wu Hen.

Danger here.

You're late, get out.

Who said you can leave?

What are you guys?

Do you know tomb raiding is illegal?

An archaeology team.

Let them open the door.

Two experts, huh?

[Gu Lin][Wu Hen]

Welcome, guests.

A small favor, please.

Open the door.

We won't help you.

You won't use us for theft.

What are you doing?

No need for this, right?

Open the door.

Leave.

Leave.

Leave.

The bottle mouth is raw.

What's he looking at?

That notebook.

His research on Nanyue.

Serpent pattern lock hole.

Wu Hen, behind the pattern is the lock.

Your turn.

Five locks inside.

Two visible, three hidden.

Hidden locks feel a slight tremor.

Three slaps.

First visible lock.

Second visible lock.

What's this thing?

Opened nothing.

You saw it too.

Can't open it.

What's this thing?

Move aside.

He just put the key in.

Research shows the pattern is the lock.

Tapping might activate hidden locks.

Panicking.

Calm down.

Is there

Anything to be scared of?

Really?

The door opened.

Ruan's item is inside.

There might be traps inside.

Take them with you.

Leave.

Leave.

Leave.

Impressive.

Kun lives, sea gods are sacrificed.

This is a marine civilization statue group.

A major discovery from the Nanyue period.

Iv Jia.

Maybe it's true.

What does this symbol mean?

If An An were here.

This place is collapsing.

Run.

Hurry, run.

Keep up.

Fast.

Faster, faster.

Be careful.

I don't want to die.

Hold on.

Let go.

Don't let go.

No.

Gu Lin.

[Extreme Sea Labyrinth].

Causing such a commotion underground.

Send him out to sea.

What for?

Old Wu.

Are you awake?

You! Didn't you go to the archaeology team?

How'd you end up in the sea?

Is your illness getting worse?

What getting worse?

Old Wu, let me introduce you.

This is Miss Gu I met at the dock.

She's also looking for Professor Gu.

Old Wu, what are you doing?

Return.

We just got here, why return?

Let go.

A typhoon is coming.

We must return.

You can't decide for me.

You can't make decisions for me.

The currents at sea are unpredictable

It's really dangerous

Go back now, it's not bad

Don't be angry, Miss Gu

Old Wu is an excellent sailor

Even Professor Gu listens to him

Save me, save me

So we go a day later

It won't really delay anything

Old Wu, do you have a serious illness?

Why did you change course again?

Old Wu, wait for me

What are you looking for?

Old Wu

Old Wu

Where is he?

Save me

Save me

Get the data and the people back

I saw you hide something just now

Nothing

- Leave - Don't leave

What's with that person?

Let go

Get out, I'll explain

Who was that person?

I don't know

You're lying

He's in military boots, his gear

He's a fighter, right?

Should we call the police?

People wear stuff like that all the time

Bring the item, I'll believe you

No item, believe what you want

Leave

You can't tell me what to do

I came because of my brother

You promised to help me with the archaeology

Now you want to leave before it's done

Are you a habitual liar?

This is different from back then

What happened back then?

You two know each other?

How is it different?

You're just selfish

Always running away

Miss Gu is Professor Gu's sister

This... Old Wu

She's the one

Back then, she wanted to confess

- Shut up - Shut up.

Enough

I'll find my brother myself

Gu Cong'an.

I.

You.

Old Wu, Old Wu.

Gu Lin.

What should I do?

Should I tell her you're dead?

Bro, I got your back.

Miss Gu took the notebook.

She was gonna throw you in the sea.

Right.

Since you rejected Miss Gu.

You don't mind if I chase her, right?

Just letting you know.

Don't be mad.

He's not here.

We lost Mr. Ruan.

Roger that.

An An.

We can't keep looking like this.

Half Step Slope.

There's actually a village here.

Strange, wasn't it a deserted island?

The note said it should be around here.

[Half Step Slope].

An An, come see.

You wait for me.

An An, that.

Before I came.

I heard there were sea monsters or ghosts.

Drag people underwater to drown

Weird, won't we run into this village?

Half Step Slope is a place in the Ghost City

Inhabited by fierce ghosts.

Don't scare me.

Leave now.

What's wrong with these people?

Wall-passing technique.

It's an image.

Who's drumming?

Why are they not moving at all?

Can you just stop talking?

This looks like some kind of ritual.

Stop filming. Let's go.

The symbols on that pillar are from Nanyue period.

I have to record this.

This is not the time for research.

Can we just leave first?

Let's go.

Let's go.

You wake up so soon.

Your sleeping powder

doesn't seem to work.

It isn't meant for you.

Your Wu family may have short lives,

but they're not as weak as you are.

I'm fine.

May I ask

who are you?

We have no home, wandering the world.

Give me my brother's notebook back.

Your brother?

I can give you the notebook.

But,

if you don't want to end up

like those grave robbers,

you'd better leave as soon as possible.

I'am not leaving.

If the ruins fall into their hands,

how much will the country lose?

Why are you Gu family

are all the same?

We Gu family?

Who are you exactly?

Ten years ago, someone named Gu Er

saved our lives.

It is said that when Emperor Wu of Han quelled Nanyue rebellion,

the prime minister, Iv Jia, fled with treasures.

And ended up here.

Rumors that the treasures were on the island

spread like wildfire.

When we were young,

we thought we were capable of getting them.

So we came here for them,

almost losing our lives.

If it weren't for Gu Er, who was investigating here,

we might have turned to dust.

So we're supposed to repay his kindness.

Indeed, Gu Er saved our lives.

But we also listened to his class

for three days and three nights.

He wanted us to use our own ability

to expel those grave robbers.

We're causing such a big noise underground.

Send him out to sea.

Whether he lives or dies

is up to fate.

It was them who sent me out to sea.

That night,

the illusions we saw,

what were they?

And the ritual.

They were your tricks to scare us away, right?

Of course not.

If we didn't beat the drum and save you,

your brains

would've been scrambled.

Those were actually illusions of the grave robbers

who died here.

There is a strange phenomenon on this island.

During thunderstorms,

the past people and events reappear

like ghostly images,

which is hard to tell which's real or not.

These illusions will change unpredictably.

If you get trapped in them,

you will go crazy and die.

The drum beat

was the most effective way we accidentally discovered

to break the illusions.

However,

it can only suppress mild ones.

It's hard to save those who are deep in the illusions.

But that's when we realized

that the sound

is the key.

So Gu Er wanted to go back and find experts in this area for help.

He said he'd be back in ten days,

but it's been ten years

since he left.

And there's been no word.

To put it bluntly,

there's a deadly sound on the island

that stimulates the auditory nerve

and cause people to illusions.

Illusions?

Then the sea monster I saw...

I've looked into it.

This island is rich in iron ore.

Ferrosoferric Oxide can preserve images

from hundreds of years ago

during thunderstorms.

This can create the phenomenon.

The sea monster was likely an imprint

you saw after your nerves were stimulated.

So, this is a trap deliberately set

by the people buried here.

They want to warn that

anyone who tries to invade

will come to no good end.

You call it a private satellite?

A typhoon wiped it out in no time.

In at most 18 hours,

the typhoon will come with thunderstorms.

We'd better head back now.

I won't go back until I find my brother.

Our main task now

is to go back and call the police.

If we can't reach the archaeological team,

the headquarters will send people to investigate- we don't need to handle it.

You came here with my brother.

He's been missing for so long.

I don't understand

why are you so desperate to make me leave.

Why?

Because it's dangerous here.

Dangerous?

My brother could be in danger at any time.

If I don't go to him,

can I count on you, who is always ready to run away?

I didn't run away.

He just didn't want you to get involved.

Impossible!

If he didn't want me to get involved,

then why did he message me?

We Gu family has been researching Nanyue culture for generations.

Your brother is dead!

Sir, we've analyzed the frequency band from last night

and located the source.

It's near the Banbupo village.

Also, we intercepted information from the Cultural Bureau

searching for the archaeological team.

They'll be sending police soon.

Continue intercepting.

Understood.

[Caution: Hazardous Material]

Since my great-grandfather,

we Gu family has been protecting

and inheriting Nanyue culture.

Some people spend their whole lives researching without success.

Some leave the world with regrets.

Others sleep alongside historical treasures,

never to return.

In this world,

there are many unknowns.

But human lives

one life.

The child's hearing is extraordinarily gifted,

but his organs and meridians

have suffered

due to the early intake of sound vibrations.

We must find a way to restore his hearing

as soon as possible,

or he'll never be free.

But the chances are slim.

You must prepare for the worst.

No matter how hard it is,

we have to try.

After that,

my parents never came back.

It wasn't until I saw the newspaper...

[Mudslide in Fushan, Guangnan]

That I knew they were gone.

Is it worth sacrificing so much

for a slim chance?

My brother told me

archaeology is to trace the 5,000-year civilization

of the entire Chinese nation

It is the interpretation, restoration, and inheritance of culture

to the greatest extent.

Without sacrifices,

the unknown cultures

will remain mysteries forever.

In Nanyue,

before warriors risk their lives,

they would carve this symbol

on the armor of their best friends.

A warrior may die in a battle,

but he will return wrapped in horsehide.

All your cares for me over the years,

it was only because of my brother, wasn't it?

Your brother once told me

this symbol

represents entrustment.

If you die,

I can never

repay the debt I owe him.

You only owe him?

We grew up together.

In my eyes, our relationship seems natural.

But you disappeared without a trace.

You don't even reject me in person.

My illness will only worsen.

I don't want to waste your life.

I'm sorry.

I'll go back with you.

But we must report this for reinforcements.

You...

How much do you want?

I'll give you...

500,000...

1... 1 million!

Not enough?

Wu!

Wu, save me!

This is what you want.

Let him go.

Take it

and never come back to us again.

Don't chase them.

They won't hurt her.

To them,

Gu Cong'an is still useful.

Who exactly did you offend?

Wu.

You...

Are you sure

An'an was taken there?

I'm not sure.

How about

you exploring the way first?

I can call some people for help.

If I'm not out

in an hour,

find a car to pick me up.

Let him in.

This is what you want.

Now,

release my man.

The sound frequency that humans can hear

is between 20

and 20,000 Hz.

50 Hz

is the limit of human hearing.

Sounds below 50 Hz

are considered close to death.

But,

some people

can hear the sound of death.

This kind of people

are called

Ghost Whisperer.

I'm very lucky

to meet one today.

I'm not interested in

anything you're saying.

We each get what we need,

and never meet again.

Don't be hasty.

There are some things

you'll be interested in.

It is said that

there are Nanyue treasures on this island

that have been lost for thousands of years.

Some even suspect that this island

is where Iv Jia, the powerful prime minister,

fled with treasures.

But,

treasures aren't just gold and silver.

In fact, this island

was a medicinal island of a Nanyue doctor.

During Iv Jia's escape,

he was shipwrecked and ended up here,

and was saved by the doctor.

This doctor was the authority

of Nanyue medical history

She mastered the principle of harmony and opposition in nature

and cured countless rare diseases.

It's said

that she compiled what she learned

into a medical book.

If that book were found,

do you think

would it

be a great benefit to humanity.

You're robbing...

You can't be disrespectful

in front of such a historical treasure.

What exactly do you want to show us?

For years,

I've been searching for this book.

Had no leads.

Thanks to Iv Jia's treasures,

which helped Wu and Gu

open the Wanxiang Cave,

so that we could find a clue.

The value of this book is far beyond those worldly affairs.

After the doctor passed away,

she was buried with

the Red Imported Fire Ants she raised

and various rare herbs.

Currently,

there are Red Imported Fire Ants still alive

in the underground cave of this island.

We captured some sound frequencies

of this species.

Wu,

Can you hear anything?

This sound represents

Waking-up.

This one represents

summoning.

However,

there's another sound

we haven't decoded.

It's the sound of attack.

Ghost Whisperer.

You are truly remarkable.

What does it have to do with me?

I told you.

Don't be hasty.

Brother!

[Warning: Hazardous chemicals. Use caution]

Brother

Brother

Brother

Brother

Brother

It's me

Brother

Brother

[Warning: Hazardous chemicals. Use caution]

Brother

Brother

What have you done to my brother?

Miss Gu,

don't you understand yet?

We found red fire ants in his body.

Their behavior

differs from known species.

They're aggressive.

Possibly, a population

mutated by heavy metals and drugs

2000 years ago.

Once they invade a body,

the person loses consciousness and dies.

We're using dream orchid extract on him.

Regular orchids

only ease symptoms.

Only mutated orchids

growing with ants

can cure him completely.

What do you want me to do?

We just heard the red fire ants

sending out a signal, right?

Can we assume

their nest

is somewhere on the island?

You mean

if we find the nest,

we'll find

the mutated orchids?

Then,

we can save Gu Lin?

[Danger]

What do you want now?

Come with me.

I need your ears.

The discovery

could be the biggest

in my Nanyue history research.

I don't care.

Last time,

you said that,

it was just days ago.

Are you suicidal?

Discovering and preserving history

is our archaeological mission.

If I don't, who will?

That's your mission.

Not mine.

I just know the old man

told me to protect you.

Can you hold this?

What kind of books?

If something

happens to me one day,

take care of An'an for me.

Are you kidding?

I won't do it.

Wait.

Gu Cong'an

Stop.

Going to certain death to save someone?

Are you crazy?

How do we know if we don't try?

It's because I know

that I can't go.

Wu Hen,

if it were you in there,

my brother would save you.

No matter what happened,

my brother always shielded you.

Jinx.

He caused his family's deaths.

What are you doing?

He is my brother,

not a jinx.

The class monitor is coming!

Run!

Run! Run!

Now he needs you.

Where are you?

No matter what,

I'll find the cure.

9 for head, 1 for shoes

3 left, 7 right.

2 and 4 for shoulders,

6 and 8 for feet,

5 in the center.

At the altar.

Gu Cong'an,

from now on, you owe us nothing.

We're even.

You no longer need the Gu family.

This is all Gu Cong'an can do,

No different from your experts.

Finally, it's my turn.

Don't shoot!

I surrender.

I surrender.

He's just an idiot.

Let him go.

Wu.

Wu.

Your boss agreed to let them go.

Once outside,

take her away.

What about you?

I'll stay.

Let her go.

Are you sure?

The Gu family knows Nanyue culture best.

If they were that good,

why would Gu Lin need me?

What you need now isn't the Gu family.

You need a pair of ears.

Is that so?

I guess,

you don't have much time left.

Wu,

you must hang in there.

Wait for me to save you.

Where's Wu Hen?

Wu sacrificed himself

to save us.

What?

You're just leaving?

Steel wire.

Steel wire.

The dead have their own ways.

Cooperate fully,

from both sides.

Roger.

What are you doing?

Watch out!

Cut him off from the front.

Sound as a barrier,

creating a space.

9 for head, 1 for shoes

3 left, 7 right.

2 and 4 for shoulders,

6 and 8 for feet,

5 in the center.

Sir,

no entrance was found.

Is he tricking us?

Are you even human?

Ambushing us halfway.

If not,

how could I get you two

to help me?

Nonsense!

I'm almost dead here.

Be careful.

Below

is a fragile mica layer.

Why are you back?

I...

They chased me.

Big Zongzi.

Five.

Five Ghosts Carry.

These are images.

Don't shoot!

Oh my God.

Mr. Ruan,

abyss is secure.

The tomb seems built in an iron mine.

But a physician

shouldn't have such a large-scale burial.

Let's retreat.

Don't forget,

Professor Gu is still waiting for you.

If no dream orchids here,

I'll make you regret it.

This is Nanyue writing.

Don't enter.

This place is suspended.

There's a landing spot right ahead of us.

Double snake statues connect something.

Guys,

please.

An'an,

how can there be a ship here?

It's a King Ship.

60 generals, 300 sailors

to comfort wandering souls.

Ocean ritual is from the Ming Dynasty.

How did it appear here?

Almost there.

Be careful.

Murals.

That's her.

Tell me,

what does

the mural say?

Where the physician was,

a terrible epidemic broke out.

The physician found

the disease had mutated

It spread fast

Even burning bodies

couldn't stop it

Time was running out,

but she hadn't found a way to eliminate it.

To prevent more suffering,

the physician had the army

escort infected bodies

to an isolated island.

This is a cave

to appease wrongful deaths,

and prevent the disease from spreading.

That wasn't a King's ship,

but a plague ship.

Wu,

we shouldn't have come here.

Fine.

Then you should go back.

What about the medical book?

Where is it?

There is no so-called medical book here.

How is that possible?

The medical book must be here.

How is that possible?

How is that possible?

The medical book must be here!

There must be a medical book inside!

Hold still!

Ghost Whisperer,

help me hear what's going on there.

The medical book must be here.

It's hollow inside!

The medical book must be inside!

It must be here!

Red Imported Fire Ants!

Sir,

leave now!

Wu!

Let's go!

Get on the boat and leave!

Go!

Okay.

Wu Hen!

Get it started!

Hurry and get on the boat!

Wu Hen, get on the boat!

Hurry and get on the boat!

Who shot the arrows just now?

Kid!

Yun.

Ma.

Hurry!

Use the chains!

Hurry!

What's wrong?

He was bitten!

The poison in his body is spreading much faster

than it is in others.

We must find the cure for you.

How could this happen?

Ghost Whisperers like him

have heard too many things they shouldn't have heard.

They'll have to pay the price sooner or later.

I'm fine.

Wu,

don't be like this!

Because you'll die soon,

you're afraid of being a drag on others.

What's the point of trying to be a hero?

Being a drag on whom?

You!

If we find the Indian Pipe,

he can be saved.

Indian Pipe?

If it weren't for you, Wu wouldn't have ended like this!

Is there something wrong with you?

If you were the one inside,

my brother would rescue you for sure.

Gu Cong'an.

From now on,

you don't owe the Gu family anything anymore.

We

Are even now.

You're right.

There's something wrong with me.

It's incurable.

No one can cure it.

It took me five years to find a way to cure it.

The medical book is the way.

I won't give up.

There is no medical book here,

except for the infectious disease that can accelerate death.

Doctor sacrificed himself

and successfully prevented the outbreak of the epidemic.

If you keep doing this,

the consequences would be disastrous once the virus leaks!

What does it have to do with me?

I just want to live.

Every day I live

could be the last day

of my life.

No one would know how painful it is!

Why do these ants keep following us?

Over there.

Indian Pipes.

Here are full of the Indian Pipes!

Wu.

Wu!

Wu!

Wu Hen.

Wu Hen.

You're all right?

What happened just now?

I suppose the frequency of the sound wave of these ants

disturbed your brain.

With the scent of the Indian Pipes,

you had hallucinations.

Indian Pipe is a cure indeed.

Then my brother can be saved.

Almost there.

Almost there!

Doctor.

Why did they go up there?

Medical book?

There is really a medical book?

It's a vacuum created by meteorites.

Once it's broken,

we'll be doomed if he touches the body.

Gu Cong'an!

Stop!

You'll get us killed!

What...

What the hell is this?

This Red Imported Fire Ant has mutated

under the long-term influence of the meteorites.

Help!

Run!

Wu Hen!

Leave!

Watch out!

Yun!

The typhoon is coming.

I checked it.

There is a large quantity of iron ores

on this island.

Iron ores?

Then we shall take a risk.

This is an iron ore cave!

We can channel the thunderstorm here!

Yun,

your arrow is made of metal!

After you get out,

you should complete the mission of the Gu family.

Chen Jiangyu,

take her away.

Don't let go!

Wu Hen!

Don't...

Don't!

Wu Hen!

Take her away!

Hurry!

Hurry and hold my hand!

Wu Hen!

I won't let go this time.

If you die,

I'll never get a chance

to repay your brother.

My medical book!

My medical book!
