Sorry for the confusing, it seems there should be
some comments here.

It's not the next on-stack argument, but the next next on-stack
argument. The call chain is:

caller -> origin call -> trampoline

So, we have to skip the "RIP" in the stack frame of "origin call",
which means RBP + 16 + 8. To be clear, there are only 8-byte
in the stack frame of "origin call".

Thanks!
