The Cross

"What...what in the fuck just happened?!"

Hao Xuan wasn't even able to sense what was happening let alone try and stop it. A second ago he was standing above the stuffy pyramid and now he was back outside.

"JIN! JIN WANG! SAY SOMETHING IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice carrying for hundreds of meters in every direction but no response came even after a couple of minutes.

"Fuck, I knew some weird shit like this was going to happen!" he cursed over his breath while sprinting back into the ruins, following the exact same they had taken before.

He found the same house that had the basement leading to the underground structure but he didn't have the green flamed bone torch that Jin Wang always used to light his way.

The last time they came there were two flights of stairs. After descending into the first one it became dark enough that they needed the green flame to light the second one.
