Ling-Ling: We have to get this out on the summer issue, my reporter friends! Haan[narr.]: But the magazine isn't really trusted in Hong Kong, so no one really believed them ... Haan[narr.]: This story is finally over. Pg 163: Yakumo: The best thing to do is, Yakumo: Not to sadden Pai. Yakumo: That mannequin was looking for immortality. For each day Pai isn't human, there will be no peace! Haan: Then hurry up and make her human! Yakumo: You think it's as easy as you make it sound? Yakumo: You want me to help because of a piece of paper. Haan: Damn it, like you should talk! I suffered a lot in Tokyo because of you. Yakumo: That's two different matters. Pg 164: Haan: There's no such person named Kimie! Yakumo: It's not my fault! Hong-Nyong: Ahhhaarr! Pai: Will you all quiet down. Pai: Yakumo, Haan is hurt, don't disturb him. Pai: Haan!! This is your breakfast! Pai: Eat up and you'll heal faster. Haan: ....... Pai: Haan, what's the matter? Yakumo: ....... Haan: Nothing ... Pg 165: Yakumo: It may have been in the past, but don't forget that you tricked Sanjiyan into drinking that drug! Haan: Ah ... Yakumo: Sanjiyan will pay you back in double. Yakumo: Maybe she stirred some drugs in there behind Pai's back ... Haan: ...... Pai: Eat up while it's hot! Haan: ...... Pai: Haan doesn't need to be polite. Haan: No ... Pai: Nah! Pai: If it isn't in Haan's taste, then so -- Pai: Ah! Pai: Pai can't always apologize. Pg 166: Haan: If she's really revengful ... Haan: I didn't mean anything else ... Haan: I'm grateful for your kindness ... Haan: Oh, God ... Pai: Oh yeah! Haan: WAAAH! Pai: Pai should say thanks instead. Haan: Ah? Pg 167: Pai: Haan, thank you for saving me. Haan: Eh? Pai: Thank you. Pai[thinking]: Thank you Yakumo and Haan. Pai[thinking]: And everyone else. Paipnarr.]: Thank you. Pg 168: Haan: Pai ... Haan: There's no need to thank me or apologize to me, Haan: I just don't hope for you to die. Haan: I will make you human. Haan: Really. Pg 170: Sanjiyan: Don't think for a minute there I'll let you off easily. Yakumo: My God! Haan: Ah! Yakumo: Waah! Yakumo: Waah! Mrs. Huang: ........ Haan[narr.]: And that's how everything ended.

Yakumo: Ah ... Haan: It's late. Where do you two think you're going? Haan: Where are you planning to sneak Pai away? Pg 176: Yakumo: This has nothing to do with you ... Pai: We're going to search for the Seima Stone. Yakumo: Heh! Pai: After we find it, we'll know how to become human. Haan: And where do you plan to live? Pai: Don't know. Pai: Yakumo will find Gupta and deal with that. Haan: I'm going, too. In a trip, the more the merrier. Pai: Really? Yakumo: ...... Pg 177: Pai: Pai'll go prepare another foodbox. Haan: Okay. Haan: Yakumo ... so you want to take Pai away from me ... Yakumo: ...... Haan: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU! Yakumo: This has nothing to do with you!

Haan: You love is actually only one sided! Pg 178: Yakumo: It's not one sided, when she becomes human, we plan to live together. Yakumo: We arranged this 4 years ago. Haan: What? Yakumo: Become human ... Ling-Ling: We just got contacted by the Hyouma group! Ling-Ling: They found the Seima Stone, and wants us to hurry up to Egypt! Pg 179: Yakumo: Eg ... Yakumo: Egypt ... Pg 180: Narr: Cairo Yakumo: What luck, after we get the Seima Stone, Pai and I will become human. Steve: Let's hope we can get blessings from Allah. Pg 181: Pai: Yakumo, look! Pai: Full of foreign drawings. Yakumo: Hey, don't jump around. You'll get tired. Pai: Okay. Steve: This drawing is the Book of Death. Yakumo: Book of Death? Steve: Drawn on grass paper by the ancient is the Book of Death that describes the Underworld. Steve: The ancient Egyptians believed that the spirit of the dead are judged, and if they get to the World of Death, they will receive eternal life. Pg 182: Yakumo: Undead ... Yakumo: Heh heh! It has nothing to do with me. Yakumo: I'm going to become human soon. Pai: Yakumo, hurry here! Yakumo[thinking]: I want to live peacefully ever after in Japan with Pai. Yakumo[thinking]: Heh! Take that, Haan! Woman: Welcome. Woman: I thought it was supposed to be 4 people? Yakumo: Well, he's still in Hong Kong ... Pg 183: Haan: I don't have any bad drugs! Haan: This is to a numbness drug to ease pain! Haan: And this a drug to make someone laugh happily! Haan: Miracle drugs and bad drugs are too different things! Woman: The reason why we called Seima over, Woman: Is because Mistress Guota found the Seima Stone. Steve: Um, I know. Pg 184: Pai: Yakumo, we can finally become humans! Yakumo: Um. Steve: But ... Woman: ? Steve: Isn't the Seima Stone found? Woman: It's in Mistress Gupta's hands ... Gupta: Someone's coming to attack, let's end this! Gupta: Seal off water, recorder and Konron's key. Gupta: Quick! Gupta: What? Gupta: !? Gupta: Be careful, the sand is forming an image ... Pg 185: Woman: They lost their recorder, and has been in there ever since. Yakumo: !? Pg 186: Yakumo: In other words, Konron is in Egypt. Yakumo: They have been caught by Konron's gatekeeper ...... Woman: They have been trapped inside for 4 days straight. Yakumo: Why is Konron in Egypt? Steve: Well, judging from the Egyptian myths, it shouldn't be all that strange. Yakumo: The Book of Death? Steve: Reach the Holy Place and receive eternal life. Steve: In Sanjiyan legends, it's immortality or revive. Steve: It's all over the myths. Yakumo: Can we get pass this storm? Woman: Even if we can get it, I'm afraid there may not be a way out. Pg 187: Yakumo: I never should've gave her Konron's key if I knew it would lure out Konron's gatekeeper. Pg 188: Yakumo: What? Pai: Let's go! Into the Konron within the storm. Pg 189: **Book 9, Story 48 - The Gatekeeper of the Desert Part 2** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 190: Pai: Yakumo, let's hurry in there. Pai: This is the tunnel through Konron. Pai: Hurry! Yakumo: Ah ... Yakumo: I know, Yakumo: But ... Pg 191: Steve: Awesome! Steve: Is this the monument of the New Kingdom? Yakumo: Yee? Steve: Could the Sanjiyan, Ramses 2, or Thutmose 3 all be related in some way?. Steve: If that's true, then Pai's existence could very well prove that other mythical figures exists, too. Yakumo: The existence of mythical figures in today's world is ridiculous ... Pai: Yakumo, hurry here! Yakumo: I'll go have a look. Yakumo: Maybe it'll be a success ... Yakumo: Huh? Pg 192: Woman: We're going, too. Woman: We will gladly give our lives to save Mistress Gupta ... Yakumo: Haha! Yakumo: Hahahahaha! Yakumo: RUN! Yakumo: Waahhaaaahhaahhh! Mis. people: Ahhhahhhh!

Pg 196: Yakumo: So the myths do have some meanings ------ Yakumo: These drawings on the wall could very well lead us to Konron. Yakumo: I wonder who drew them? Pai: Pai heard a sound so Pai went here. Yakumo: A sound! Pai: The sounds of mountains, water, the sky, and grass ... Yakumo: Oh? Pai: When Pai came here, Pai: The sand would make sounds. Pg 197: Voice: Welcome, you. Voice: Please enter through from the Holy Land's doors. Yakumo: Um ... Yakumo: Did you hear anyone say, "This place is full of traps -- don't come"? Pai: Pai didn't hear that. Yakumo: I couldn't hear the sound of Spring and Summer. Yakumo: Nor could I hear different kinds of sounds. Pai: Of course! Pai: Humans are like that. Yakumo: You don't want to become human? Pai: No ... Pai: Humans can't hear any kind of sound. Pai: It's okay ... Pg 198: Pai: After we become human? Yakumo: I said after we become human ... Pai: Eh, Pai: What do you plan to do? Yakumo: Remember what we said 4 years ago? Pai: What? 4 years ago? Yakumo: About what we said about me and you ... Pai: !? Pg 199: Pai: Yakumo, danger! Yakumo: Wah! Yakumo: What is that thing? Yakumo: Tou-Chao, come out! Pg 200: Yakumo: This guy is made of sand! Pai: Aiiayyaah! Pg 201: Yakumo: How do I defeat this guy ... Pai. Pai: Pai can't hear its sound. Yakumo: Kuso! Yakumo: You're a Sanjiyan, you should have the right to cross. Yakumo: Is there some sort of password we're supposed to say? Pg 202: Pai: Yakumo! This way!! Pg 203: Yakumo: We're saved. Pai: The path to outside is sealed. Yakumo: Don't worry, we'll bring Gupta and the others with is into the Holy Land. Yakumo: It shouldn't be any problem. Pg 204: Yakumo: Gupta! What happened? Pg 205: Gupta: There's no time. Hurry up and escape with the Seima. Gupta: Or else you will all become wall drawings! Yakumo: But! Pg 206: Yakumo[thinking]: What to do? Yakumo[thinking]: There should be some sort of password or something. Yakumo[thinking]: What ... Pai: Yakumo! Yakumo: Kuso, it's back again! Yakumo[thinking]: There must be some way. Yakumo[thinking]: But what is it?

Steve: Hurry up! Steve: Because of them trying to save Gupta, there's two people trapped there! Steve: Hurry up and save them! Woman: Calm downm Taoist Long. Woman: Yes, we have to hurry up and save them, Woman: But I'm sure Seima won't fall for such a trap that easily. Pg 209: Steve: Yes, but outside transmissions are blocked ... Woman: Don't forget that nothing is impossible for Seima ... Steve: Arrgh, I can't make myself clear! Steve: Listen up, when Pai is with Yakumo, her consciousness is too strong for even Sanjiyan to come out ........ Steve: Sanjiyan can only come out once Pai is injured and unconscious. Woman: Eh? Steve: Hurry! Hurry! Pg 210: Yakumo: Tou-Chao!!! Pg 211: Yakumo: I stopped it for now, Yakumo: But we have to hurry on out of here! Pai: Ah! Gupta: Right! Gupta: You guys hurry on out of here! Yakumo: Um, Yakumo: Um, um! Yakumo: But not before we get you out ... Pai: Yakumo! Yakumo: Pai, stay back. I'm going to summon Tou-Chao. Pg 212: Gupta: It's alright, forget it! Even with Beast Magic, you can't destory this wall, nor can you save us. Yakumo: Yee? Gupta: My body has been changed into stone by the gatekeeper. Yakumo: Yee? Pai: Stone? Gupta: Yes, the gatekeeper doesn't think that we are good enough to cross Konron, so as punishment he turned our bodies to stone to merge with the walls. Gupta: After all of us are stones, the gatekeeper will return to sleep. Yakumo: Ah! Pai: We can't abandon you! Pg 213: Gupta: Forget it, your loyal Seima. Gupta: Yakumo, look to my left. Gupta: There's a stone. Gupta: Gather some broken rocks and ... Yakumo: !? Pg 214: Yakumo: Tou-Chao!! Yakumo: Kuso! If only we weren't in a cave, otherwise I'd call out Kuan-Yaa! Yakumo: Pai ...

Gupta: You'll have to take that stone with you. Gupta: I'll leave that up to you! Gupta: Hurry out of here! Pai: No! Pai won't leave you! Pai: Pai must set you free! Pai: Yakumo, what do you think? Yakumo: I think ... Voice: Only the gatekeeper ... Yakumo: !? Pg 217: Gupta: Hurry up and leave with the Seima Stone! Gupta: The gatekeeper is coming! Yakumo: Ah? Yakumo: You mean this guy isn't the gatekeeper? Gupta: The gatekeeper isn't human or anything you've seen before. Gupta: He has control over sand golems and sand youma. Gupta: A big jackal headed statue that can manipulate rocks. Yakumo: Statue!? Gupta: Hurry on out of here! Gupta: If you guys are turned to stone, then all that effort will be wasted ...... Yakumo: I ... I understand. Pg 218: Yakumo: Get out of my way! Pai: Yakumo, what are we going to do? Yakumo: First things first ... Yakumo: I'll summon Tou-Chao to get rid of these things. Yakumo: I ask the spirits of Earth! Yakumo: Grant me the power ... Pai: Yakumo! Pg 219: Pai: Big statue? Yakumo: Ohhwaaahwaaah! Yakumo: Come out, Tou-Chao! Pg 221: Pai: Yakumo! Yakumo: Argh! Pai: Are you okay? Pai: Yakumo. Pai: Even though you may be the gatekeeper, you shouldn't hurt people! Yakumo: What? Yakumo: What does it want? Pai: ? Pg 222: Yakumo: Konron's pass? Yakumo: If you can prove that you're a Sanjiyan, I'm sure we can get through. Pai: No, about Konron's key, Pai and Sanjiyan has nothing to do with it. Yakumo: Tou-Chao, this time it must work! Pai: Yakumo, don't move! Yakumo: Huh? Yakumo: !? Yakumo: Waaahahhahhh! Pai: Kaadeedee ... Gupta: Seima ... Pai: Ohwaawaa! Pg 223: Anubis: ...... Yakumo: This is ... Pg 224: Yakumo: Ah! Yakumo: The Book of Death. Voice: This is the judge for the spirits. Yakumo: !! Pg 225: Sanjiyan: Humans are so cute. Sanjiyan: Thinking that they can achieve immortality this way. Yakumo: Sanjiyan! You can understand all of this! Sanjiyan: Anyone can understand. Pg 226: Action: Fuu. Action: Fuu. Action: Fuu. Sanjiyan: This is the stupid human's way to gain immortality. Yakumo: Eh? Sanjiyan: Humans feel a lot of power within nature. Sanjiyan: In order to surpass themselves. Sanjiyan: They worship their own created gods, Sanjiyan: Just so they can escape the depths of death. Sanjiyan: Don't you think this is a great work of art? Sanjiyan: Taking out their own heart, Sanjiyan: Then weighting it with a feather and calling it a spirital judgment. Sanjiyan: They think that this will earn them their god's favor and gain immortality. Sanjiyan: When actually, the moment they take out their heart, they die. Pg 227: **Book 9, Story 50 - The Gatekeeper of the Desert Part 4** **Translated by "Mr. Kaiyanwang" (mr_kaiyanwang@yahoo.com)** **Based on the Chinese HK version of 3x3 Eyes** Pg 228: Yakumo: No! Yakumo: Could it be ... Yakumo: This is neither the spirital judgement nor the way to gain immorality. Yakumo: This isn't Konron afterall?
