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

The words "Wan Ling" had barely left his lips.

Another sound rang out in the hall.

thump—

It's clearer than before.

This time it wasn't captured by surveillance equipment.

Everyone heard it with their own ears.

It's separated by most of the capital city.

The bell seemed to ring directly in the night.

Lin Ye's internal microcosmic orbit trembled slightly.

The smile on his face disappeared.

"Is this bell also part of a formation?"

"Eighty percent."

Wanling stared at the screen.

"The mountain gate formation, the spirit gathering formation, the mountain protection restrictions, and all the other miscellaneous things inside should be being restored."

"At this rate..."

It paused for a moment.

Cheng Fang asked:

"How long will it take to fully reconnect with reality?"

"have no idea."

"long time?"

"have no idea."

"A few hours?"

"I told you I don't know!"

Wanling was so annoyed she wanted to curse.

"Once the grotto was closed, it was closed. Who has ever seen it grow back on its own?"

Tang Zhi leaned against the table.

"You've wasted the last few thousand years of your life."

"Say one more word?"

"Alright."

Cheng Fang interrupted the two of them.

He no longer had time to listen to their bickering.

Spatial stability is still increasing.

Twenty-seven.

29.

Thirty-two.

The monitoring numbers jump almost every few minutes.

Headquarters was clearly getting restless.

Less than ten minutes.

New orders have been issued.

[The Imperial Capital's Suspended Mountain Boundary Zone has entered Level 1 Exploration Preparation.]

[Once the spatial stability reaches 60%, we will attempt to establish the first controllable channel.]

[The first exploration team will begin screening immediately.]

As soon as the news came out.

The hall became much quieter.

All the field staff understood what this meant.

the first time.

Go inside.

It's not about looking at it from the outside.

It's not about picking up something that fell down.

It is an ancient grotto that still retains its complete structure.

Everyone knows it's dangerous.

But what's inside...?

No one knows.

Cheng Fang looked down at the notice.

"The demands have been made."

Tang Zhi leaned closer.

"read."

"There shall be no fewer than four combat personnel."

"At least one person was detected as having an anomaly."

"Two technicians."

"One medical professional."

"Consultants specializing in ancient scripts and artifacts will be added as needed."

Lin Ye spoke as soon as he heard the words "abnormal perception".

"I'm here."

Cheng Fang looked up.

"Don't rush."

"I'm not in a hurry."

"Your mouth is practically glued to the list."

Lin Ye took half a step back.

"And now?"

Cheng Fang ignored him.

Keep reading.

"The first batch of people to go in will not primarily be for resource collection."

"Confirm the environment."

"Establish coordinates."

"Identify the safe zone."

"Evacuation should be the priority when encountering high-risk targets."

Tang Zhi clicked her tongue.

"It means going in and stepping on a landmine."

Qin Zhao said from the side:

"Someone has to step on it."

"Then you go."

"I was going anyway."

Tang Zhi turned her head.

"Has Captain Cheng already decided on you?"

Qin Zhao looked at Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang remained silent for two seconds.

"I haven't said anything yet."

"oh."

Qin Zhao nodded.

"Then tell me now."

Cheng Fang's temples were throbbing.

"You're all so free, aren't you?"

Xu Mian stood behind without saying a word.

But he was carrying a gun holster.

They clearly had no intention of leaving.

Cheng Fang glanced around.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Ye.

"You're the most troublesome."

Why?

"Just finished being shaken by the Soul-Suppressing Bell."

"That's the one I own."

"so what?"

"This means my injury was sustained at work."

"..."

Tang Zhi burst out laughing.

Cheng Fang took a deep breath.

"Let's go to the infirmary first."

"You've passed the soul shock assessment and meridian examination. I'll reimburse you."

Lin Ye got up and left.

"Where are you going?"

"Infirmary"

"I haven't finished speaking!"

"Come back and listen."

The doors are all closed.

Cheng Fang looked towards the door.

He struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

Was he always this proactive?

Tang Zhi thought for a moment.

"We didn't have this many valuable things before."

"..."

The infirmary is in chaos tonight too.

Everywhere were wounded soldiers brought back from the battle at Xuanxu.

When it was time for the inspection, Lin Ye was in line.

The doctor in charge frowned as soon as he saw him.

"Why are you here again?"

Lin Ye sat down.

"Follow-up examination."

"Didn't we just check tonight?"

"Check again."

The doctor looked up at him.

"Are you bored?"

"I want to go to Xuanshan."

The other party stopped moving.

"you?"

"Um."

"The one that just activated the Soul-Suppressing Bell three times in a row?"

"To correct you, it's not just 'ring'."

Lin Ye said seriously:

"I also used pulse interruption and voice collapse."

The doctor's face darkened even more.

"You're quite proud of yourself?"

"Mainly to make your judgment easier."

"Lie down."

The inspection was done very quickly.

There was a slight residual vibration in the soul.

He recovered quite well after the Soul Locking in the Guardian Chapter.

The meridians may suffer minor damage from intensive use.

However, the microcosmic orbit remains stable.

The doctor reviewed the data.

"He won't die."

Lin Ye sat up.

"So, it's okay to go?"

"I said I wouldn't die, I didn't say I could go."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that if you toss and turn for another night, you might have to lie in bed for two days."

Lin Ye thought for a moment.

What time is the entrance to the suspended mountain expected to open?

The doctor was taken aback.

"How would I know?"

"Based on the current level of stability, the technical team estimates it could be as early as this morning."

"That's still a few hours away."

"so?"

"Give me recovery."

The doctor stared at him.

"You treat the infirmary like a gas station?"

"Today is special."

"Get lost."

Scolds are scolded.

The treatment was still initiated.

Low-intensity spiritual energy repair.

Relax your muscles.

The soul shock is stable.

Lin Ye lay still for a rare forty minutes.

When he came out, Cheng Fang was already standing at the door waiting for him.

He was holding a list in his hand.

"What did the doctor say?"

"It's not a big problem."

"The exact words."

"He won't die."

Cheng Fang remained silent.

"You call this a minor problem?"

"There's one more sentence."

"What?"

"After a few hours of recovery, I can participate in the operation."

This is true.

Cheng Fang reached out his hand.

"Report."

Lin Ye gave him the electronic report.

Cheng Fang watched it from beginning to end.

It has been confirmed that the processing was not done by Lin Ye himself.

Only then did they hand over the list.

"You're inside."

Lin Ye glanced at it.

Group Two didn't make it all this time.

The first phase mainly focused on confirming the environment.

Too many people actually increase the risk.

On the list:

Cheng Fang.

Forest.

Xu Mian.

There were also two field agents from another group.

Two technicians.

A medical worker.

Tang Zhi was not there.

Lin Ye frowned.

"Where is Tang Zhi?"

"The second batch."

Cheng Fangdao.

"The first batch needs to move quickly and lightly, while her connecting threads are more suitable for rescue and blockade after the passage is stabilized."

"She agreed?"

Cheng Fang sneered.

"Would it matter if she disagreed?"

Tang Zhi's voice immediately came from the end of the corridor.

"Cheng Fang!"

"Are you talking about me behind my back?"

Cheng Fang turned and left.

"I'm gone."

Lin Ye couldn't help laughing.

Follow them.

I've only taken a few steps.

The Scripture of Ten Thousand Spirits at his waist suddenly moved.

"Are you really going in?"

"nonsense."

"Take me with you."

Lin Ye lowered his head.

"Weren't you always on me?"

All beings were silent for two seconds.

"What I mean is, don't leave me in the storage box."

Why are you so enthusiastic today?

"I want to see."

"What are you looking at?"

Wanling did not answer immediately.

The corridor lights slid across the surface of the bamboo slip.

After a while.

It then said:

"I want to see..."

"Things from our time."

"How much is left?"

This statement doesn't sound like the usual Wanling.

Lin Ye looked at it for two seconds.

Not poor.

"OK."

Wanling, on the other hand, was a little unaccustomed to it.

"You're not going to state your conditions?"

"Once you're inside, you'll be able to recognize things quickly."

"……roll."

When the two returned to the hall.

The spatial stability has reached 41%.

The establishment time of the channel is expected to be continuously brought forward.

at the same time.

The monitoring system on the west side of Xuanshan suddenly reported an anomaly.

Cheng Fang had just sat down when he stood up again.

"What's going on?"

The technician zoomed in on the image.

In the woods on the mountainside.

On a stone path that was just empty a moment ago.

I don't know when.

Another figure appeared.

Too far.

I can't see the face clearly.

All that could be seen was that person standing at the end of the stone steps.

Long robe.

Long hair.

Not moving at all.

They are separated by a space that has not yet fully overlapped.

Look towards the capital.

Tang Zhi lowered her voice.

"It's not a formation anymore, is it?"

No one answered.

next second.

The figure slowly raised its hand.

It was placed on a stone tablet next to the mountain gate.

boom.

All the lights on the suspended mountain.

They light up at the same time.

The spatial stability instantly dropped from 41%.

Jump to—

Fifty-three percent.

The technician's face changed.

"It opened the door on its own!"

Lin Ye stared at the figure.

The scroll of the All Souls also suddenly tensed up.

this time.

There really are people in the mountains.
