"Thump~ thump~ thump-thump~" Inside the low, cramped house, the drums never stopped, nor did Li Zhi's chanting.
"Help me, troops—head against the rafters, feet upon the beams, drum in my left hand, whip in my right, hey-khe hey-khe yo hey~" "Thump thump thump!!"

At that moment, he heard some inexplicable sounds around him, but
