## Story

Li Cu quickly saw through the man's story and so the man took off his disguise. The man introduced himself as Hei Xiazi or Hei Yanjing. The story Hei Yanjing told was not totally fake but based on the surrounding environment and all the evidence from the corpses. He also revealed his reason for being there which was to protect Wu Xie. He struggled through a lot to find them and even had to deal with saving Boss Ma before following them to the lake. After giving Li Cu some food, Hei Yanjing knocked him out.

Su Wan took the magnetic tape to get fixed, but the repairman said it wouldn't be worth it. Once Su Wan left, the repairman called Wang Pangzi and told him that there was some good stuff and to come quickly.

Li Cu woke up to being tied up and dangling over the sand by Hei Yanjing. Hei Yanjing let Li Cu down which attracted the Nine-Headed Snake Tree which started to go after Li Cu. It managed to wrap its branches around Li Cu's leg and drag him down into the sand. Hei Yanjing ran over to grab onto Li Cu and tried shooting the tree to no avail. Both were dragged into the sand and were brought into an underground facility. They managed to escape from the tree.

Su Wan ran into Yang Hao and the two of them take it to a Mr. Li to look at. This person offers to buy it from them and they are soon interrupted by Wang Pangzi and Jin Wantang. The two take a look. Jin Wantang estimates that the magnetic tape is from the 40s and was specially made for documenting scientific research by Europeans and Americans. There is a very special coding used and only ten recorders that could read the tape were made. Wang Pangzi hurries Su Wan and Yang Hao out of there and encourages them to come to his shop.

Li Cu and Hei Yanjing began exploring the underground facility and found some papers on the floor. The papers were in Russian and one page read "056." Project 056 gathered many people from overseas to find something under the sand.

Su Wan gave the tape to Wang Pangzi and Jin Wantang so they could repair it and decipher the code. The two realized they needed to get a recorder from the Xin Yue Restaurant. Wang Pangzi later goes to meet Xie Yuchen and the two discuss the Nine Clans Association. The two soon discussed the recorder and Xie Yuchen mentioned that Fo ye had used that thing before but now it was in the hands of Yin Nanfeng. The two realized they needed the help of Zhang Rishan who agreed to help as long as he could also read what was on the tape.

Li Cu and Hei Yanjing search through an office. They found some documents with the name "Zhang Qishan" on them. Hei Yanjing recognized the name and called Zhang Qishan by his well-known nickname, Fo Ye. Hei Yanjing wondered whether Fo Ye took over the construction project from the foreigners. In the drawers of a desk, they found snake skin and a gun which Hei Yanjing took with him.
