    The blue smoke dissipated, and the black lion turned into a teenager again. He urged Xie Jin in front of the black iron gate: "Key, key!"

    Xie Jin crossed the narrow road that could only accommodate one person. He took out the key that Dong He gave him, and the lock shaft turned. The iron door, which had been sealed here for a long time, creaked, was slowly opened by Xie Jin.

    The white light of the searchlight shone into the darkness, and Xie Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never been to this place before. The basement should not be too big. The morgue and freight elevator took up almost all of the area.

    But what appeared in front of him at this time was a downward slope, and the light of the searchlight could not get in, and he could only see clearly if he went down.

    "Jin, don't be afraid, I'll lead the way." Jiu volunteered to rush to the front, and he was about to step up the slope and rush into the darkness underground.

    This action scared Xie Jin to hold on to Jiu quickly, he sighed, and politely declined Jiu's proposal: "The underground space is not big, in case something changes, it is inconvenient for you to change shape, I have been to the morgue below, and I know it. Terrain, just break the chirp, okay?"

    The teenager stared at Xie Jin's drooping eyes due to exhaustion. He thought for a moment and seemed to think that this plan was more reliable, so he nodded and exchanged front and back positions with Xie Jin.

    A beam of light, two people, one big and one small, walked down the slope with the gap occupied by moss.

    At the end of the slope was a wall with vacant space. They went around the wall and continued down. Xie Jin saw the elevator that he glanced at when he escaped.

    "The elevator shaft that Dong He said should be here." Xie Jin stood in front of the elevator, because it is a freight elevator, this elevator is much larger than usual, and the closed door is still stuck with "Be careful of your hands" 's logo.

    Xie Jin put down his backpack, and took out the fire axe from it. The tip of the axe was aimed at the gap of the elevator door. He was gesturing how to open the heavy iron door.

    "Jin, that girl said that Ji Duan was in the elevator, but didn't she say where he is?" Jiu stood by his side with his chin raised, he looked around to see if the small basement could accommodate his black lion. body in state.

    "Ah?" Xie Jin was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect this question. Just now, Dong He interrupted to change the subject.

    "I, I'm going to find her again." Xie Jin stammered, and it was his own fault for not being strict. After learning Ji Duan's location, he rushed over, but he only knew the approximate location.

    Going to Dong He now, can only hope that she doesn't regret letting them go.

    "Don't be so troublesome, I'll come!" The young man suddenly snatched the fire axe from Xie Jin's hand. He stuck the tip of the axe into the crack of the elevator door. With a loud shout, blue veins erupted on his thin arms, which were faintly visible. His muscular silhouette propped up the tattered clothes on him.

    The mechanical pulley was pushed manually, and the elevator door opened slowly. Xie Jin was stunned. The young man was the same height as his waist. He didn't expect such a force to erupt from this small body.

    The elevator door was pushed into the dark slot. He squatted at the entrance of the shaft. The car was not on the basement level. The steel cables in front of him swayed slightly when the door was opened.

    Jiu was on all fours, and he sniffed like a search and rescue dog. After a while, he looked up at Xie Jin: "He is below, at the bottom of the elevator shaft, where there is his residual smell."

    The steel cable was still shaking, Xie Jin stood beside Jiu with a searchlight, and the light went straight into the elevator shaft. There was still two or three meters away from where they were, and there were only some gravel at the bottom of the shaft.

    "Hey, I have to go down." Xie Jin weighed the weight of the searchlight in his hand, which seemed a little too heavy. He took out the spare small flashlight in his backpack and replaced the light source of the searchlight.

    The young man also stood up and gave a heavy "um": "Yeah! I know, but how do you get down? I can't get down in my original state. Although the freight elevator is larger than ordinary elevators, I'm afraid I will get stuck at this size. inside."

    "Jiu, can you help me reach the wire rope over there?" Xie Jin pointed to the wire rope on the side of the elevator shaft, and Chiu also looked at him, wondering what he wanted to do.

    After reacting for a few seconds, the teenager almost jumped up from the ground: "No! You want to climb down the tightrope? It's too dangerous! If you don't grasp it firmly, you will be injured, not to mention you are still injured! "

    "Jiu, please."

    Xie Jin had a firm attitude. He closed his eyes and sighed softly, "I have to go down to find him, can you help me?"

    "Jin! You are so messy, I don't agree!" Jiu rarely contradicts Xie Jin, but this time he unexpectedly insisted on his own point of view, "Your arm, palm, and left leg! These can't be Support your own weight and you'll literally fall off!"

    The young man was in a hurry. He knew Xie Jin's temperament too well. Although the man seemed to be easy-going on weekdays, whenever he had his own ideas, he would be stubborn to the end.

    "Well, I'll go down first." Jiu slapped himself on the forehead hard, he felt that he had no brains half a minute ago, "I'll go down and wait for you, in case the accident is irreversible, so that I can still catch you. "

    Without waiting for Xie Jin to answer, he jumped towards the elevator shaft, and the figure quickly fell down. Xie Jin found that Jiu hadn't even grasped the only wire leading to the bottom of the shaft.

    "Chirp!"

    Xie Jin was on the edge, and there was darkness below. The boy didn't carry any lighting tools, and he merged with the darkness. Xie Jin couldn't confirm his safety.

    "I'm fine!"

    A boy's voice sounded from the bottom of the well, and Xie Jin was relieved, but he still couldn't help shouting down, "It's too messy! Jumping down suddenly, do you want to scare me to death!"

    "I'm afraid you won't agree... Ah, what a mess! What should you do when I come down, forget about it!"

    The boy's annoyed voice came from below, which made the originally nervous Xie Jin dumbfounded.

    That's right, without Jiu's help, how could he reach the steel cable nearly two meters away, even if he jumped over with help, the scarred pair might not be able to hold on.

    But he has to hold on.

    "It's okay, you don't need to go up again, try to pull the thicker accompanying cable closest to me, it can move, I can grab it and go to the cable."

    Xie Jin shined his flashlight on several steel cables not far away, and he saw the accompanying cable closest to him shaking, "Yes, this is it."

    "Is this reliable?" Chirp at the bottom of the well was a little worried. He raised his head anxiously to see the light shaking slightly, "Jin, why don't you just jump down, I'll catch you below."

    "The elevator shaft is too small, and you might get stuck when you return to your original shape, so we might not be able to get out."

    Xie Jin bit the flashlight in his mouth. He looked at his palm that had stopped bleeding, tore off a piece of fabric from his old hospital gown, and wrapped it tightly around his palm.

    After doing all this, he raised his hand to grab the accompanying cable that was close at hand, and swung his left side into the elevator shaft, putting most of his body weight on the accompanying cable at once.

    The originally slack accompanying cable suddenly tightened, and Xie Jin’s other leg was still standing on the edge. He leaned his body, and after adapting to his own weight, he began to carefully retract his right leg and hang his entire weight on the accompanying cable.

    "Jin, be careful!"

    He heard the chirping call from below, but with a flashlight in his mouth, Xie Jin couldn't respond.

    Fortunately, Chiu realized that he had already climbed onto the accompanying cable. With his astonishing strength, the young man slowly approached the steel cables hanging on both sides while grabbing the cable with Xie Jin's weight.

    The two of them breathed very carefully every minute and every second, until seeing Xie Jin successfully grasp the steel cable and start to climb down, Jiu's heart that was about to rise to the throat was put back to its original position.

    Seven minutes later, Jiu helped Xie Jin back to the ground. Although it was located underground, Xie Jin's legs were still weak the moment he stepped on the ground.

    His back was completely wet with sweat, and the dusty hospital gown was pressed against his body, making it sticky and uncomfortable.

    But Xie Jin couldn't care so much, he looked around, almost tripping over the gravel under his feet, he was looking for Ji Duan's soul hidden at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

    "Over there." Chiu sighed helplessly, and he helped Xie Jin who was almost out of strength to the wall with the most broken stones, "There are runes painted on it, it should be some kind of secret art, Ji Duan's soul is here .”

    Mystery...

    Xie Jin frowned, he stroked the cold stone wall, the underground temperature was already damp and cold, especially the stone wall poured with cement.

    The cement surface has obviously been damaged by someone, and the gravel scattered on the ground is also the original stone of the stone wall. It should be the work of the person who separated Ji Duan's soul here.

    Standing in front of the stone wall, Xie Jin looked at the blurred runes on the edge of the chapped mark. He was not a warlock, so he couldn't break the seal.

    The hand unconsciously touched the pendant around his neck, the jade tablet that Wen Liang had temporarily handed over to him. When the dried blood in his palm touched the jade tablet, a faint golden light suddenly appeared, and then became brighter and brighter.

    The golden light soon enveloped the small elevator shaft, and the light shone warmly on his body, as if healed after the soul was washed. Xie Jin vaguely felt that his body was much lighter.

    He watched the golden light penetrate into the crevice of the stone, suddenly! A silhouette of a young man appeared in front of him, with familiar facial features and a familiar body, the only difference was the young man's expression.

    The golden light dissipated, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. In the only flashlight light, Xie Jin stared blankly at the other party.

    The young man was also looking at him blankly, with a slight sense of alienation in his eyes. The young man seemed to be wondering where this was and why he was here.

    But Xie Jin didn't pay attention, he was almost ecstatic, the young man in front of him was Ji Duan! The exact same face is Ji Duan!

    He trembled his lips and wanted to reach out to hug Ji Duan in front of him, but his arms passed through the young man's body, and he was unable to hug him.

    "I finally, finally found you." Although he felt a little lost, Xie Jin still squatted down slowly in front of the young man, "You may not know me, but let me take you out of here, okay?"

    The young man stared at Xie Jin's face, nodded after a long time, his body began to become unreal, like a thin layer of smoke being sucked into a jade tablet.

    Xie Jin was holding the jade tablet that was still hanging around his neck, and he found a golden thread faintly flowing in the center of the jade tablet, slowly rotating in a ring.

    It's Ji Duan, and Ji Duan's soul circulates in the jade tablet.

    He twitched his nostrils, touched Chiu, who was flustered and put away his disdainful expression, and said, "Chiu, let's hurry up and get out of here and go back to Badong Village!"

    Back to Badong Village! The Iron Triangle is coming together
