YAY!

Npss is actually out here writing about every phobia in existence with his dmbj series xD I just finished volume 6 and that whole sequence where Wu Xie swam down to that deep lake with an almost non-existent diving equipment was an experience. Right up until he "drowned", me as a reader actually felt suffocating along with Wu Xie. Then we got that enclosed jade cave under water were some horrible thing, that looked like humans, called "密洛陀" were discovered. I wonder what that is? It obviously have something to do with Xiaoge and the Zhang clan, but why did those things exist at all? They also smell like Xiaoge, so is it his ancestors perhaps?? The whole village have something to do with the Zhangs so I don't think this is the last we see of it.

"Watching his dawdling movements made me incredibly itchy. I really wanted to kick him over and get close enough to see it clearly. But after he took off his clothes, I remembered that his tattoo were normally invisible. I asked 闷油瓶 (Xiaoge) how this happened, and he told me that the tattoo were created using the sap of a thorny plant. It's normally transparent, only turning black when body temperature exceeded a certain level. In ancient times, many Miao people suffered from damp-heat diseases, and this tattoo were used to detect children's body temperature. Of course, exceeding a certain temperature could also be due to strenuous exercise. Therefore, 闷油瓶 (Xiaoge)'s tattoo would become visible during intense fighting or when he was excited. Also, due to different concentrations and varying sensitivities to temperature, only extremely intense fighting would cause all the tattoo designs to appear."

“Rest for a bit. I will check your wounds. If everything's alright, we'll leave right away. Damn it, I thought we were doomed this time. I'm truly impressed; I never imagined you to be this powerful.” He leaned against the stone wall behind him and said calmly, “He and I… we can't leave.” “What nonsense are you talking about?” I yelled. He suddenly smiled at me and said, “Luckily, I didn't kill you…” I froze. He paused, then coughed up a mouthful of blood. “You—” My mind went blank. He was still smiling at me, his head slowly lowering as he sat there, as if he were just resting. But, all around was completely silent.

jinyoung is wearing a black sweater with massive holes in it, including his entire shoulder. jaebeom is in the middle of saying something to the fans in a microphone when jinyoung comes up to him and very clearly brings attention to his bare shoulder. and jaebeom just kinda reboots? stops in the middle of whatever he's saying and jinyoung looks so pleased with himself. i remember it being during If You Do promotions, but it didn't pop up in the 2015 search. i know it was before he started showing skin so it was a rare occurrence.

"I stared at these two pig-headed fools, initially unable to believe it. Pangzi started speaking, and although my brain still couldn't quite grasp what he was saying, I clearly realized this wasn't a hallucination; I really saw them! A flood of emotions overwhelmed me. The intense fear, hope, and worry I'd been holding onto finally dissipated. I didn't know how to express it; tears welled up, but I couldn't help but smile. To have gone through so much by myself — the intense panic amidst utter loneliness, the despair of brushing with death, and then finding myself safe and sound — that kind of ecstasy could drive someone mad. But my overwhelming emotions weren't because of that. What I was thinking was: no matter what the situation was, I was finally with them again, finally not alone! This feeling was amazing!"

"The disbelief in my heart grew stronger, but the thought of 闷油瓶 (Xiaoge) suddenly brought a sense of relief. Hadn't I promised to help him? If he became a water ghost, so be it, I'd become one too, and the water ghost trio wouldn't be so lonely. If he hadn't saved me several times, I would have died long ago. What's wrong with taking a risk for him? Is my life that valuable?"

"By the way, Old Man Panma, how did you get that tattoo?" Panma looked at me, somewhat surprised by my sudden question. His son explained, "This is a tattoo to ward off Gu poison. A Miao shaman, who passed by when I was a child, tattood it on him. My grandfather saved his life back then, and he gave my dad this tattoo as a token of gratitude. It's said that with this tattoo, you can travel freely in the Miao village, and no one will cause you any trouble."

I asked him what Old Man Panma had said. A Gui told me, "He said if you want to know, you have to come alone. This person can't go." I frowned, wondering what that meant. I looked at 闷油瓶 (Xiaoge), and A Gui continued, "He also said…" "Said what?" "He said that if the two of you are together, sooner or later one of you will be killed by the other." ---- Ah Gui translated, “Old Man Panma said what he meant was very clear: you don’t know your friend at all, and being with him will definitely not end well for you.” “You know him?” I immediately pressed. “Why do you say that?” Old Man Panma looked at me, paused, and after a long while said, “I don’t recognize his face, but I recognize the smell of death on him.”
