Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

Eleventh Warehouse Dead Zone.

After Zhang's personal guards purchased the items needed to open the altar.

After resting, Qi Tiezui once again began performing rituals above the Hidden Item Cold Pool in the Dead Zone.

This method does not target the evil entities existing in the area below the Cold Pool, but only sets up a restriction around the space above the Cold Pool to prevent the evil spirits hidden in the Cold Pool from emerging again and taking actions that could affect Warehouse Eleven.

The train section of the ghost train did not sink to the bottom of the icy pool, but floated in the middle of the pool in a strange manner, swaying randomly with the slow and steady current of the pool.

Su Mu was also involved in the ghost train incident.

They also accompanied the procession carrying the bodies of the dead miners out of the city.

At that time, Su Mu and Qi Tiezui discovered that no souls could be seen among the corpses that died on the train freight cars.

Most of them roamed within Changsha city, causing chaos for seven consecutive days.

However, these wandering souls are not the complete souls of the dead miners. Their three main souls are still attached to the train and imprisoned by the array of the Japanese Onmyoji.

As a result, the train could not be properly maintained and operated, and was no longer put into use.

Zhang Qishan once proposed the idea of ​​dismantling and discarding the ghost train, but Qi Tiezui strictly refused at the time.

Qi Tiezui said that no matter how the freight train is dismantled, the vengeful spirit above it cannot be erased. Once it is scattered in all directions and picked up and taken in by innocent people, strange and harmful incidents will break out again.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Qishan could only store the item in the Eleventh Warehouse Dead Zone.

Most of the remaining items stored in the Dead Zone were in a similar situation to the ghost train.

It can no longer be put into normal use.

As for why Zhang Qishan would establish such a strange Warehouse Eleven, that is a place to contain the supernatural.

This is most likely related to Zhang Qishan's background in the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has established four well-known archives outside the home.

It is divided into four major archives: east, south, west, and north.

Zhang Haiqi from the Southern Archives is a woman of considerable renown and status within the Zhang family. If she weren't a woman, she would likely have had the opportunity to participate in the selection of the previous generation's Zhang family head.

Zhang Qishan had always been very dissatisfied with the Zhang family's xenophobic ideas.

This place is dedicated to storing all sorts of strange and bizarre documents and items that Zhang Qishan encountered during his lifetime.

The Southern Archives is located by the sea, at the junction of Southeast Asia and the mainland.

The number of bizarre maritime disasters that occur at sea is actually far less than the number of bizarre cases in the southwest.

Therefore, the construction of the Eleventh Warehouse Dead Zone was carried out.

Before meeting Yi Xinyue, Zhang Qishan had been dedicated to finding the Zhang family's secret to immortality, and that was the purpose of building the Eleventh Warehouse.

But after meeting Yi Xinyue and gaining recognition in his military career, all his previous worries became a thing of the past.

In Su Mu's memory, the Eleventh Warehouse was eventually handed over to the Wu family to manage, with the Bai family assisting.

Unfortunately, the Wu family took over Warehouse Eleven too late and failed to discover the mysterious treasure hidden within.

Or perhaps, in the end, Zhang Qishan still couldn't let the Nine Gates learn too much about the secrets of the Zhang family itself, or the real reason why they built the Eleventh Warehouse in the first place.

All the hidden files and items were concealed at the place where Zhang Qishan and Yi Xinyue's bodies were reportedly dumped later in the story.

Throughout the night, Su Mu kept thinking about Zhang Qishan.

This illegitimate son of the Zhang family, who was living outside the family, was truly outstanding.

Whether he and Yi Xinyue were actually drowned in Warehouse Eleven remains a mystery to Su Mu to this day.

Because since this generation, all members of the Zhang family outside have completely disappeared.

It is said that they all ended up dying.

Even if someone is born out of wedlock in the Zhang family, they will still carry some longevity genes to some extent.

If Chen Pi Asi was able to live until Wu Xie's time, then the current Zhang clan should theoretically outlive Chen Pi Asi.

Watching Qi Tiezui set up the evil-suppressing formation, Su Mu summoned Zhang family guards: "Remember to keep the red candles burning every day, and don't let the incense go out, otherwise the formation will lose its effectiveness. Use this birth date and time to search the Bai family group to see if there is a suitable person. After the person with this birth date and time dies of old age, continue to use this method to continue the search. Remember, you must not fail."

Zhang's personal guards carefully and solemnly recorded Su Mu's orders in a book: "Understood, Manager Su. We will definitely not allow any mistakes to occur."

The Zhang family guards glanced at the Zhong Kui portrait that Qi Tiezui had placed in the corner and instinctively felt a chill run down their spines.

Red candles, incense, five-pointed flags, red thread, glutinous rice... plus the dark, damp, and cold space of the Eleventh Warehouse Dead Zone, anyone who doesn't understand any Taoist arts or spells would feel a chill upon seeing it.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the awe-inspiring array that the evil spirits lurking in the Dead Zone can be suppressed.

Zhang's personal guards, carrying the birth date and time given to them by Su Mu, jogged out to find a suitable person to light incense.

Qi Tiezui has been very busy since he arrived at Warehouse Eleven, precisely because there are too many messy things to calculate.

Su Mu was not idle either, assisting Qi Tiezui in completing the ritual to suppress the eleventh warehouse as quickly as possible.

Su Mu himself is a holder of the "Taoist Ritual Manual", but to be honest, his interest in this area is not as strong as Qi Tiezui's.

Su Mu didn't practice or learn any of the Taoist techniques he obtained at Yin Changsheng's Taoist temple after returning; he simply handed them all over to Qi Tiezui to handle.

This is also why Qi Tiezui locked himself in his room for a very long time after returning.

Qi Tiezui has been studying these Taoist rituals and related knowledge.

Su Mu stood by the green-glowing, cold pool, preventing any evil spirits from breaking free and harming Qi Tiezui while he performed his ritual.

The Eleventh Warehouse is a semi-enclosed space where you can't see sunlight when you look up.

Half a day has passed.

Su Mu asked one of Zhang's personal guards, "What time is it outside?"

Zhang's personal guard: "It's about three-quarters past Shen time."

Su Mu nodded: "It's already afternoon. Let's go back first after he's finished. Today is New Year's Eve, time flies."

Zhang's personal guards nodded, without saying anything more.

They have responsibilities and cannot go out to celebrate the New Year with their families like normal people, but the benefits that Zhang Qishan sends them every year at this time are quite good.

If I save up some money, maybe I can find a beautiful wife after I leave.

Or, after Zhang Qishan comes to power, he can give them a helping hand and make them all high-ranking and powerful figures.
