**Episode 21 (The Lost Tomb 2.5)** is the twenty-first episode of the television series The Lost Tomb 2: Explore with the Note.

## Story

Wu Xie tries to prove his theory of a parallel space to be wrong but struggles to find reasonable proof. They decide to search through the explorers' belongings and find the photo from the Paracel Underwater Tomb exploration. Wu Xie starts freaking out over the photo, breaking down, but Wang Pangzi tries to calm him. When Wang Pangzi mentions the sign at the beginning of the corridors, Wu Xie finally thinks of a way to prove his parallel space theory.

He reasons that since they would have started seeing double, confusing Wang Pangzi and the others, he shows them that a parallel space is impossible. He states that an inescapable corridor is illogical and cannot be build by Wang Zanghai either but that there is something that can confuse them enough to walk in circles. After getting a clue from Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi finally catches up and remembers the hallucinations they had at the Bronze tree before. The group starts searching for a bronze piece in the gold and find a tree branch. They decide to burn the branch to finally escape the corridors. Suddenly they hear strange noises and realize Shun Zi is gone. They start searching and he attacks them. He pins Wu Xie down but is knocked out by Xie Yuchen, who arrived in time to give Shun Zi an injection to calm him.

On their way out, they hear an explosion and wonder if it is the other team. Xie Yuchen asks Wu Xie to talk and confronts him about the message from the Paracel Underwater Tomb, stating that Xie Lianhuan was left there by Wu Sanxing. Wu Xie tries to avoid the truth and Xie Yuchen accuses him of not trusting him and not taking him seriously, ending their friendship and his relations with the Wu family once and for all. Wu Xie tries to persuade him otherwise but Xie Yuchen refuses and walks away.

After separating from Xie Yuchen, Shun Zi also asks to leave the Heavenly Palace and the group, as he found his father and can finally bring his remains home. Despite being worried about his well-being on his way back, Wu Xie agrees to let him go and they part ways.

Ning and Wu Sanxing's group bombard their way through the side walls and out of the endless maze and they find a chamber full of statues and a coffin in the center. They are joined by Hendry Cox' men who accompanied Hendry Cox into the Heavenly Palace. They announce he will join them soon. One of their doctors takes care of Wu Sanxing.

Curious whether it is an exit or holds treasures, they open the coffin in the center and wall centipedes start emerging and attacking them. Wu Xie , Wang Pangzi and Pan Zi hear the commotion and run to find them. They arrive at a platform above the others and wonder how to save them. Soon they are also attacked by the centipedes and Wu Xie loses balance and falls off the platform onto the floor below. The impact from the fall reactivates his previous internal injuries and he spits blood. Due to his blood's repelling power of insects, the centipedes leave, proving to everyone how his blood is protection against the monsters.

Huo Xiangu receives a visit from Hendry Cox' man, providing her with some of the promised data. The man reveals Hendry Cox still wants to work with the Huo family and wants to be protected by them, worrying over his place, once he is back from the Heavenly Palace. Huo Xiangu originally declines but is intrigued by the offer.

Wang Pangzi takes care of Wu Xie while Pan Zi checks on Wu Sanxing. They are joined by Chen Pi Ah Si and he secretly hands a message to Wu Xie.
