I woke to find the leader of the Faceless Ones demanding his flute, which served as the key to exiting the maze. After reuniting with frightened Doudou and escaping the underground palace, I searched Aunt Han's room for clues. My investigation was interrupted by the Swordsman and a sudden ambush by some archers.
After the fight, my character was awakened and found the leader of the Faceless Ones waiting for him there. He asked my character to return his flute, which was a gift from an old friend, but I initially decided to keep it for later uses.
I understood that without returning it, I could not open the door out of this maze. So I had to give it back to him, and he opened the door to let me walk out of the confusing palace at last.
Then I had to explore the hidden passage first before moving on. Around my exploration, I found a letter crumpled and smoothed out; it was written by someone named Chu and contained cryptic information about the palace's past.
Then I heard a distant voice and I had to head to its origin to investigate. I found Doudou there, who had somehow reached this dangerous place and got scared seeing the Faceless Ones lurking in the shadows.
I had to leave the underground palace to let Doudou calm down while he followed me closely. There was this big ladder that I used to get out of the dark place, climbing toward the surface and fresh air.
After getting out of the underground palace, I had to go to Aunt Han's room and inspect around for clues. I found a willow blade, a stack of spirit money, and a half mirror that was signed by Shu.
My character kept inspecting around and trying to figure out what was actually happening with these mysterious items. Then the Swordsman arrived in a calm way, and my character understood he actually let me escape during our last encounter.
When they were having a chat, suddenly a man fired an arrow that was about to hit my character. The Swordsman reacted instantly and became a savior, blocking the projectile before it could find its mark in the small room.
Both characters noticed there were some archers waiting outside. All of them had fire arrows pointed at them, ready to take them down at any cost.
That's all for now.
