When Xie Jin and Jiu climbed up from the elevator shaft, the sky outside had begun to glow with a layer of white light, and it was almost dawn at 5:30 in the morning.

Riding on the back of the black lion, Xie Jin once again looked at the hospital behind him. He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of Dong He.

There was nothing there, only the window with the broken lattice, the weak light of the morning sun could not illuminate the shadow behind the window, the girl in the red dress seemed to have never existed in the first place, and only Xie Jin and Jiu were alive in the entire hospital.

"Let's go." Xie Jin buried his face in the black and soft hair of the black lion and repeated softly, "Let's go, chirp."

The black lion let out a long howl, its huge body was surprisingly flexible, and the invisible poisonous miasma outside the hospital had no effect on it. It was like a black lightning bolt, leading Xie Jin to rush out of this nightmare.

It's getting bright now. If you leave here at this speed, you should be able to catch the train before noon, and can barely return to the village at night.

Xie Jin grabbed the charged mobile phone, and after confirming the time again, he suddenly thought of something, and patted the black lion's neck with one hand, "Chirp! Can you stop for a while!"

The black lion stopped abruptly. It couldn't see the situation behind it. It could only shake its head in confusion: "What's the matter, Jin? What happened?"

"I met a person before I arrived at the hospital. I promised him that if I could come out alive, I would take him out." Xie Jin's face appeared in Fang Ziyu's mind. Can't make it through.

But always go check it out. After all, he promised a dying person. If he didn't even go to confirm it in the end, he would be ashamed of his conscience.

The black lion burrowed into the underground palace to explore the destroyed hole before dawn. After it put down Xie Jin, it shook its fur covered with brick dust, and its nose twitched as if it wanted to sneeze.

But it was only dust that got into its nostrils. It bit its tongue and waited for a long time, but it still couldn't come out. The black lion could only follow Xie Jin angrily and walked along the track to the interior set.

The further the track went, the smaller the space, and the black lion had to change back to his youthful appearance. He tugged at Xie Jin's shattered corner of his clothes and muttered in a low voice, "Is he really still there? This ghost place doesn't look like it can hide people. Not to mention someone with a belly piercing."

"Just go and confirm, there's not much time left for us, be careful." Xie Jin quickly grabbed the boy's arm, and Jiu almost stepped on the air and got stuck in the track, "It's just ahead."

The outline of the main room appeared in the range of the searchlight. Xie Jin held the light in one hand and held the shaggy boy in the other. He remembered that Ziyu was hiding next to the coffin in the center of the main room before they parted.

The lights no longer flickered, Xie Jin took a deep breath, and prepared for the worst picture, he whispered in the direction of the coffin, "Fang Ziyu, are you still there?"

No one answered, but as he got closer, he could vaguely see a humanoid sitting there.

The air seemed to freeze, frozen by something called death, Xie Jin loosened his clenched lower lip and staggered closer to the figure.

"Boom."

A small sound broke the dead silence. It seemed to be the sound of a wire can being kicked by someone. Xie Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, because the sound came from beside the coffin, and it was the figure!

Is Fang Ziyu still alive?

He quickened his pace and rushed in front of the man three or five times. It was indeed Fang Ziyu, but compared to the Fang Ziyu that Xie Jin saw a few days ago, the man in front of him had lost weight. Obviously, the food left behind was not at all. Not enough to provide the most basic needs of his body.

Fang Ziyu's eyes were still open, he was almost using his willpower to force a sigh of relief. After hearing the footsteps, his swollen eyes struggled to open a gap. Want to make some noise.

"Don't talk, I'm Xie Jin, I'll take you away now." Xie Jin squatted down in front of the man, he flipped over the dusty and bloodstained work shirt, but luckily the wound didn't worsen any further.

"Hey, pass me the water in my bag." Xie Jin helped Fang Ziyu up from the side of the coffin, and took the water handed over by the young man. To be honest, he has not run out of water since he woke up, but if Fang Ziyu doesn't eat anymore If it is water, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive.

Jiu didn't seem to think so. He squatted beside him and watched Xie Jin slowly feed the man who was extremely dehydrated. He suddenly felt that Ji Duan was not so annoying.

"Cough! Cough..." Fang Ziyu was drinking half a bottle of water, his chapped lips were wet, and even his spirits improved a little. He leaned against the coffin and glanced at the boy who stared at him unfriendly.

"This is... your son?" He asked Xie Jin in a voice so hoarse that he could barely hear the syllables. Xie Jin carefully identified it for a long time, and then he guessed what he was asking.

"It's not my son... This is Chirp, my savior." Xie Jin quickly denied it, he raised Fang Ziyu's arms with both hands, trying to let the man's weight pass over him, "Can you stand up, I'll take you out of here. "

Maybe it was really hard to see, Jiu looked at the guy with more serious injuries, and suddenly turned into a black lion. It picked up Fang Ziyu and was about to throw it on the back, but Xie Jin stopped it in time.

"Chirp, he has a wound on his stomach, slow down, slow down." In the end, Xie Jin supported the man's leg, and with Jiu's strength, Fang Ziyu, who was obviously skinny but extremely heavy, was lifted up.

"Hey..." Fang Ziyu leaned weakly on the back of the black lion. Xie Jin looked into his eyes and knew what he wanted to ask.

"Let's go out first." Xie Jin also climbed up, his upper body pressed against Fang Ziyu's body, in case the man would be thrown out later, "... Hurry up!"

The black lion turned into a black lightning again. It didn't choose to go out along the long black corridor, but breathed out blue smoke, like melting vines to open the way in front of the black door, but this time it wanted to Corroded is a solid red brick cement wall.

It let out a roar, and that sound was more like a dragon roar than a lion's roar. The black lion slammed into the half-corroded wall. During the strong vibration, Xie Jin saw that a pair of tentacles seemed to grow behind the black lion's ears.

Before they could take a closer look, the next wave of impact struck again, and the wall cracked amid the roar of the black lion. The two of them and the lion were exposed to the outdoor air, and what greeted them was the rising sun.

The strong wind was whistling in his ears, and Xie Jin felt that they were flying into the air. The golden sunlight sprinkled on the black lion's fur, like a layer of sacred golden armor, and the black lion floated in the air, like a beast bathed in sunlight .

"Jin, hurry up." The black lion shook its head, and after feeling the maximum strength of the two tensed bodies on its body, it suddenly rushed towards the paradise.

The paradise during the day is not as infiltrating as it is at night. Those dirty things hiding in dark corners are afraid of the sun, so they can pass without hindrance.

The black lion remembered the hotel that Xie Jin rented. Fortunately, the road was almost abandoned. Otherwise, the cars passing by here would see a strange creature shaped like a black lion flying in the air. Bloody people.

It stopped in the wasteland not far from the hotel, and according to Xie Jin's suggestion, turned back into palm-sized black coal balls and hid them in the bag, while Xie Jin called the hotel owner.

Five minutes later, the boss in a sleeveless sweatshirt appeared in Xie Jin's line of sight, followed by a round middle-aged woman who seemed to be the boss's wife.

They all saw Fang Ziyu, and they woke up half of their hazy drowsiness at once. The boss trotted over with his slippers on. He looked at Fang Ziyu, and asked Xie Jin in a low voice: "This is, what's going on?"

"It's a member of the previous expedition, I found it in the paradise." Xie Jin wiped his face, he tried his best to make himself look clean, "Let's not talk about this, can you help me carry him in? I've contacted his friends and have to call an ambulance."

The boss was stunned by what he said, and it took a long time to react: "Oh, good! The old lady went into the room to call, this... my God, there is a hole in my stomach?!"

They helped Fang Ziyu into the hotel, and this man who was even worse than Xie Jin was finally lying on a clean bed, even though he looked out of place with this bed.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Xie Jin took a shower in the shortest possible time. He borrowed a suit from the boss. It was the boss's son's clothes. It was a bit big for him, but it was better than the tattered hospital gown The visual impact is much better.

When Xie Jin tidied up and came out of the bathroom, Fang Ziyu was not asleep. His stomach wound was treated urgently by the proprietress. He was lying on the bed with his upper body naked, and the bandage around his waist was stained yellow by iodophor.

Seeing Xie Jin come out, he raised his head: "Where are you going? You just walked through the gate of hell, aren't you going to take a break?"

"I'm running out of time. I have to catch the eight o'clock train." Xie Jin buckled his waist belt to the last hole. Even so, his trousers were a little precarious. He also looked at Fang Ziyu, and suddenly grinned at the corner of his dry mouth and smiled at the man. .

"Congratulations on getting through the most difficult time. I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but my time is really tight, sorry."

He grabbed the same gray backpack and put it on his shoulder. Fang Ziyu didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

"Your friends are on their way, and the ambulance will arrive soon. You...should have money to pay for the medical expenses, right?"

Xie Jin was a little embarrassed for a while, he didn't have much cash with him, and he had to set aside some of it to pay for the hotel expenses these days.

"If you have money, don't worry." Fang Ziyu was paralyzed on the bed in a "big" shape. He hadn't been lying on the mattress for a long time. Even this kind of old-fashioned spring mattress can make him feel like his bones are shaking. To melt the illusion.

"That's good, take care." Xie Jin didn't say any more, he took out the black briquette Jiu from his bag and stuffed it into his pocket, as if he was about to open the door and leave.

"and many more."

Fang Ziyu's voice came again, Xie Jin froze in touching the doorknob, he turned and looked at the man, waiting for the next sentence.

"Can you leave a cell phone number? You said earlier that the boy was your savior, but you are not my savior." Fang Ziyu raised his stubble-covered face with difficulty, and he was smiling at Xie Jin.

"Thank you for saving my life."
