**Episode 13 (The Lost Tomb 2.5)** is the thirteenth episode of the television series The Lost Tomb 2: Explore with the Note.

## Story

Wu Xie figures the Silk Manuscripts might give them a hint of how to find the correct order of the puzzle pieces. Shun Zi goes around, giving them some food to recover their energy. Wang Pangzi lets snow fall onto the puzzle pieces and manuscripts by playing on the statue, resulting in Wu Xie reprimanding him.

Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu continue investigating the connection between the Huo family and Hendry Cox and their illegal artifact trafficking. To catch one of the smugglers, Huo Xiuxiu disguises in an alluring dress, despite Xie Yuchen's objections. She hides among other female hostesses to entertain Brother Dao, the smuggler.

Wu Xie and Hua Heshang continue working on the puzzle and find that King Wan Nu's wife was supposedly the corpse buried in the Paracel Underwater Tomb. They find the end of the puzzle depicts a love letter, although some of the team wonder if King Wan Nu really had the love poem in mind. Not finding any more clues, Wu Xie goes on to put the puzzle pieces into the statue. Once completed, the puzzle starts turning and the door moves, leaving a small gap open. They try to open the door further but fail. Only having the statue left as a clue, they decide to clear the snow off it to see it clearly. Once the snow is cleared, the door opens fully. While everyone packs up immediately, Wu Xie wonders what really triggered the door to open fully.

They continue further and wonder why the murals in the next corridor portray centipedes on each of them instead of the lives of the people buried there. They continue and find a bigger chamber with three coffins and the tomb seal. They let Zhang Qiling check for traps and once cleared, start pulling the seal aside, thinking there is an entrance to the tomb beneath it. It turns out to be just loose bricks beneath it, and they start removing the bricks.

Back in the city, Huo Xiuxiu manages to lure Brother Dao into a hotel suite and knocks him out once Xie Yuchen arrives.

After removing the bricks, they find a tortoise with a female face engraved in it and Wu Xie realizes it is a giant magnet. Chen Pi Ah Si immediately checks his compass and throws it to the ground frustrated. Wu Xie checks the compass as well and reveals to them that they were on the wrong track right from the beginning of their exploration in the Changbai mountains, as the magnet made the compass lead them to this empty mausoleum. Wu Xie realizes this is a fake tomb and not the actual one and gets frustrated as well. The team starts fighting who is at fault and how to proceed. At the same time, Zhang Qiling notices Shun Zi's strange behavior making him suspicious.

The team continues fighting, until Zhang Qiling reveals the magnetic field is making their emotions unstable. He tells the group there might be another way forward in the tomb and they decide to search for it. Wu Xie feels a gust of wind from the wall, revealing the wall to be hollow. After Zhang Qiling tells them that Shun Zi was looking at it all the time, Wu Xie reasons Shun Zi's change in physiology makes him look for the exit unconsciously every time he is scared. After analyzing the secret passage, Wu Xie informs them it is an emergency passage from the tomb builders, probably leading to the real tomb, but can only be accessed from the other side. To find their way later on and get rid of the bad influence, they decide to burn the tortoise.

At the same time, hundreds of centipedes go free in the corridor of murals.
