[zh-] James Bond is in the [3] basement of the [-ong] temple where he finds an ancient 月 moon shaped 重 kettlebell lying on the rock floor next to the relics. He goes over and picks it up as it is the object of his mission, but drops it on his foot which then becomes 腫 swollen. In fact it is so 腫 swollen that it begins to look like a crescent 月 moon!
