I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Engineer Luo was still holding onto Lin Ye's shoulder.

"What do you mean by 'gone'?"

Just as Lin Ye was about to speak, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.

It was as if someone had pressed a red-hot iron nail hard into the spot where the shard had just drilled in.

He groaned, his knees buckling first.

Engineer Luo quickly supported him.

"What's wrong?"

"Let go."

"You can't even stand up anymore."

"hot."

"Where is it hot?"

"whole body."

The heat had already spread from my chest.

Follow the seven basic meridians, flowing down to the shoulders, back, arms, waist, and abdomen.

It was just hot at first.

A few seconds later, the heat turned into pain.

Each path seemed to be stretched open from the inside, and the channels that were originally barely able to contain spiritual energy were widened inch by inch by that excessively pure power.

Lin Ye gritted his teeth and sat down against the rock wall.

Engineer Luo squatted down in front of him.

"Can we stop?"

Lin Ye tried to dissipate the "Return of All Spirits to the Origin Chapter".

As soon as the exercise ended, the power in his chest immediately lost its way and suddenly contracted back.

It felt like I'd been punched in the chest.

He coughed twice, then resumed his practice.

Engineer Luo observed his expression.

"Can't we stop?"

"Stopping it would be even more troublesome."

"How troublesome?"

Lin Ye took a breath.

"It'll probably explode."

Engineer Luo turned around and shouted, "Everyone, step back! Back up a little more!"

Several people helped the wounded man and immediately moved him deeper into the crevice.

The young researcher was still a little hesitant.

"Engineer Luo, is he really going to blow it up?"

"Would you like to stay and take a look?"

The man turned and left.

Lin Ye had no interest in listening to what they were saying.

The power of the spiritual essence has penetrated into the bones.

It's not a metaphor.

He could clearly feel a fine tremor spreading from his spine to his limbs. His bones ached, his muscles clenched in waves, and his internal organs felt hot.

My right arm hurts the most.

The minor damage left by the continuous use of shock force was forcibly torn open by spiritual energy and then filled again.

Lin Ye raised his hand.

My fingers trembled uncontrollably at first, but then gradually calmed down.

A layer of sticky sweat seeped from the surface of the skin.

It has a grayish color and a strong rusty smell.

Engineer Luo covered his nose.

"How long has it been since you last showered?"

Lin Ye closed his eyes.

"I just stayed at the hotel for three days."

"So, this stuff came out of your bones?"

"Stay away from me."

"I'm afraid you'll really explode."

"I'll blow you up first and take you with me."

Engineer Luo cursed, but still didn't leave.

Heat waves come one after another.

Lin Ye's back was pressed against the rock wall, and his clothes were quickly soaked.

The seven paths were continuously widened, yet they still did not connect end to end.

The spiritual energy started from his chest, flowed into his limbs and torso, and was then actively drawn back by him.

The road is wider now.

However, it is not yet a complete cycle.

Lin Ye knew what was going on.

This is not a breakthrough.

However, someone forcefully turned his newly repaired dirt road into a stone road.

I don't know how much time passed, but the pain suddenly began to subside.

First came the soreness in my bones, then the muscle spasms, and finally even the fire in my chest slowly dissipated.

Lin Ye looked down at his right hand.

It's stopped shaking.

He clenched his fist.

The stinging pain from the old injury is gone.

When Luo saw him open his eyes, he immediately moved closer.

"It's alive?"

"He wasn't dead to begin with."

"Can I stand?"

Lin Ye used the rock wall to support himself as he stood up.

The movements were easier than he had expected.

The fatigue from going down the well, rescuing people, and forcibly using my left hand to generate force has mostly disappeared. My breathing is deeper, and my legs have regained their strength.

The guide vane was still flashing a red light.

However, when the remaining spiritual energy in the surrounding area drilled into the body again, the meridians were no longer as swollen as before.

They were quickly separated and flowed throughout the body.

Lin Ye stretched his shoulders.

Engineer Luo stared at him.

"Are you really alright?"

"It should be fine."

What does "should" mean?

Just as Lin Ye was about to speak, a dull thud came from above his head.

boom.

Several people looked up at the same time.

Engineer Luo asked, "The rescue team?"

Lin Ye did not answer.

He didn't hear anything.

There is no rock layer friction.

There is no flow of spiritual energy.

There were only normal impact sounds.

Lingting hasn't returned yet.

The second sound rang out quickly.

boom!

Gravel rolled down from above.

Engineer Luo took out the locator that had restored the signal and glanced at it.

"We've been locked down outside."

How far apart are they?

"More than ten meters."

The young researcher helped the injured person over.

"Wait for them to dig?"

Lin Ye looked up at the huge rock blocking the inclined well.

The landslide did not completely block the passage.

There is still a crack at the bottom, but it is blocked by a rock about half a person's height.

The cutting equipment outside is operating on the other side.

The speed isn't slow.

The woman, suffering from oxygen deprivation, had begun to feel cold, and her lips were still turning purple.

Lin Ye walked over, squatted down, and took a look.

The rocks pressed down on the slope, and the bottom was not flat.

A section of broken steel frame was stuck next to it.

He pulled out the steel frame and stuffed it under the stone.

Engineer Luo understood.

"You want to pry it open?"

"Give it a try."

"This thing weighs at least a ton."

"It's not like we lifted them all up."

Lin Ye stepped on the end of the steel frame.

"Help me hold it down."

Engineer Luo called over the other two.

The three of them pressed down together.

The steel frame emitted a harsh, creaking sound as it bent.

The rock wobbled, but didn't move.

The young researcher blushed.

"no."

Lin Ye stared at the fulcrum at the bottom of the stone.

"Again."

"Your hand just now..."

"It's all better now."

"You mean it's okay as long as you say so?"

"Then pry it open yourself."

The young man shut up.

Lin Ye readjusted his position and gripped the steel frame tightly with both hands.

This time, he affected seven pathways.

The spiritual energy simultaneously flows into the lower back and legs.

A small crack appeared on the rock surface beneath my feet.

"Press!"

The three of them worked together.

The steel frame suddenly sank downwards.

The boulder was finally moved half an inch along the slope.

Immediately, someone outside shouted, "Someone inside is moving stones!"

Cheng Fang's voice came through the landslide.

"Lin Ye?"

"it's me."

"Don't move! We're securing the upper level!"

Lin Ye glanced at the newly revealed crack.

"Almost there."

"Did you hear me? Don't move!"

Engineer Luo turned his head to look at him.

"continue?"

Lin Ye nodded.

"continue."

"Team Leader Cheng is cursing at you."

"I can't hear clearly through the rocks."

Immediately, a voice came from outside: "I can hear you!"

A few people couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere eased for half a second.

Lin Ye pressed down on the steel frame again.

Rescue workers on the outside also started the winch at the same time.

The rock slid to the side little by little.

The gap widened from half a palm's width to enough to fit a hand.

Then came an arm.

The people outside brought in a soft stretcher and an oxygen mask first.

"Get the wounded out of here first!"

The woman who was deprived of oxygen was the first to be moved.

Then came two more injured people.

The remaining people squeezed through the gap one by one.

Engineer Luo stayed behind and glanced back at the natural cavity.

The main body of the spiritual marrow has shattered, with most of the fragments still inside.

"What a pity."

Lin Ye also glanced at it.

"There's still quite a bit left."

"Yes, that's true."

Engineer Luo withdrew his gaze.

"Not a single person is missing."

Neither of them said anything more.

Engineer Luo crawled out first.

Lin Ye remained until the end.

He had just bent down when he suddenly heard a very light friction sound in his ear.

sand.

Lin Ye paused.

The sound came from behind the rock face.

A fragment of spiritual marrow was slowly sliding down the bottom of the cavity.

Then, more voices came in.

The spiritual energy flows through the natural side paths.

Crushed rocks compress the rock layers.

The gears of the rescue equipment were turning in the distance.

Further away, people were walking back and forth above the well opening.

My steps are heavy, and I tend to land on the outside first.

It's Cheng Fang.

Lin Ye closed his eyes.

The voices that used to be huddled together are now separated into layers.

Nearby, far away.

Strong, weak.

The flow of spiritual energy and ordinary vibrations are no longer mixed together.

Engineer Luo poked his head in from outside.

"What are you staring at?"

Lin Ye opened his eyes.

"I'm back."

"What?"

"Listen."

Engineer Luo looked at him for a long time before asking:

"The same as before?"

Lin Ye could hear the faint sounds of rescuers dismantling scaffolding a dozen meters away.

"Not quite the same."

"What's different?"

Lin Ye squeezed out of the gap, grabbed a stray pebble in his way, and moved it aside.

After finishing the action, he first looked down at his hands.

That rock wasn't very big.

In the past, you had to carry it with both hands.

But just now it was a little too light.

Cheng Fang walked over and looked him up and down.

"What's missing?"

"Everyone has come out."

"I'm asking you."

Lin Ye raised both hands and spun around halfway in place.

"All parts are complete."

Cheng Fang slapped him on the shoulder.

I just wanted to make sure he could stand steadily.

As a result, Lin Ye didn't even shake.

Cheng Fang paused for a moment.

"What did you eat downstairs?"

"Stone."

Speak like a human.

"It really is a stone."

Cheng Fang stared at the shield that had been pierced through his chest.

I'll deal with you later.

Lin Ye didn't reply.

The entire sound of B9 was flooding into my ears.

The restless magical artifacts inside the sealed box.

The alarms kept ringing from above.

Further away, there were complex tremors emanating from beneath the city's surface.

Subways, pipelines, and construction machinery are all mixed together.

Lin Ye had already prepared to withdraw his spiritual hearing.

Just then, a very faint friction sound emerged from the noise.

It's very far.

So far away that it almost disappears.

Like something gently brushing against a railway track.

But there's no track in that direction on the map.

Lin Ye looked up and gazed in the direction of the Beijing subway.

Just a moment ago, he heard that a road had appeared under the railway tracks.

A road that never appeared on a map.
