[ This room looks like someone decided to have a jumble sale on top of a pool table. For those from ye olden times a lot of the items looked like pieces from their daily lives, though battered and old, some even bearing signs of damage and repair. Wu Xie is sitting front of the pool table, toying with a lighter. He smiles, flicks the lighter closed and leans in close, his voice all soft and soothing like he's talking to a close, personal friend. ]
Do you want to hear a ghost story?

As big as cities... I do know some nobles or emperors would build such a big tomb to store their belongings for the afterlife.
It seems your world and mine have similarities. There tends to be a concentration of supernatural activity close to those tombs...and it seems you experience against those creatures as well.
Have you studied it for long?

[ Well. He's never been that good at lying to people a lot. He doesn't have any need to, and he was famous just from word of mouth. Wu Xie laughs softly, flicking his lighter open then snapping it shut. ]
I don't actually call it supernatural, but a lot is certainly extraordinary. Like the Tomb of the South Sea. The outside was built on land and then it was moved piece by piece to the sea. They set it in place and pushed all the water out before continuing to work on it, creating a system that moves with the tides and that will also shift the inner rooms by the amount of weight in one. Not only that, but the system was also in place so that the air circulated to keep a person trap for years.
[ And he was rambling and realizes he was doing that, so stops looking faintly embarrassed. ]
...It's a family thing.

It seems architects can build anything in the future. But some of the tombs seem to be similar to my time.
Ah, you're about to tell a ghost story. [Up until now he describes his business trade] Of all the tombs you discovered, which one stays with you?
