I cut the rest of the wire into sections of equal length and put him on a chair to hold him in place so he wouldn't fall off. Everything was prepared, it was only missing the hardest part — placing Zhang Shan on a chair.

Time is life, and I didn't dare to rest. I just took a few big gasps and held my breath. Both of his hands went under Zhang Shan's arms, planning to lift him up and place him on the chair.

It was too heavy! I only had to lift a little before I could go up again, and I held on for about five seconds. I finally gave up the plan.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, Zhang Shan's life was gradually becoming weaker.

Opening his eyes, he actually could not understand anything. However, under the strong light from the mine lamp, his pupils seemed to have no reaction. His heart turned cold. I even tried to drag him out the way I always did, but after a moment I dismissed the idea. We were in the middle of the second level of the basement, still a long way from the exit.

If he dragged it this way, even the bones behind Zhang Shan's back would be flattened.

While I was at a loss, I looked down to see Zhang Shan lying on his side. His legs were half bent, looking like he was sitting on a bench. That's right! If he couldn't be propped up, why didn't he just throw the chair down? I hastily placed the chair down and stuck both sides of Zhang Shan's back and butt respectively. Then he brought the wire and tied his left side to the chair. Then, he flattened him again and flipped him over while grabbing onto the back of the chair, allowing Zhang Shan to stand up along with it.

The right side was set, and the other side was finally secured!

I jammed his broken arm into the wire I'd been using to hold it in place, clamped it tight, and walked around the back of the chair. I wrapped the two wires I'd wrapped around my shoulders and pulled them back so that the front legs of the chair were free of the floor, and I managed to keep my balance, holding on to the back of the chair as I backed away.

Although it was still very tiring, especially when he encountered cracks in the floor tiles, he would occasionally have to stop and move about. However, compared to his brute force earlier, it was still quite different. Furthermore, to Zhang Shan, this would basically not cause any harm, which made my heart feel a lot better.

This time, the speed was clearly much faster. In less than two minutes, we had already left the main hall and were heading towards the upper floor through the passageway. It took more effort to climb the slope than it did to walk the level road, but since I had made this "dry land sledge chair," my spirits had been restored, and I was full of confidence in my ability to leave the place.

After a while, we arrived at the junction of the three roads. The two caves on the two sides led to the other two shelters and the other passages, and as long as I climbed a little further, I would be able to return to the first level. There, I would be flat ground.

I've got some knack for pulling the chair. At his current speed, he believed it would only take twenty minutes to complete the journey. Thinking about it, my entire body was brimming with power, I dragged Zhang Shan and continued to climb.

After my heavy panting, I finally finished climbing the slope. After I placed Zhang Shan's chair back down, I turned around to look. In the dark space, wherever the lights went, there was a hall, dozens of pillars, and in the middle of the hall, there was a protruding platform.

I panicked. Did I go the wrong way? Or was there a hall here that I had forgotten as I passed by?

I let go of the rope and walk to the high platform in the middle. I was stunned. This was definitely the hall they had just walked into! Because some of the tables and chairs were placed in the same place, I could remember them from the past, and even the angle of the tables and chairs were placed in the same place.

I couldn't believe it, so I ran to another corner and began to search the ground. After a moment, my back began to feel cold, and the ground in front of me was littered with bits of rubber from the time I'd cut the wires.

Could it be that he had circled around and returned? No matter what, he had to find the exit! It's always right to go up!

I returned to the corridor entrance, carried the rope, and pulled Zhang Shan through the hall. This time I took a closer look, made sure it was the right exit, and climbed up again. The long slope, the fork in three different directions, the one in the middle, definitely!

A few minutes later I was slumped in front of the podium. Looking at the tables and chairs on the floor, he felt a sense of despair. When I thought about how Zhang Shan purposely infuriated me when I entered the sealed space, and activated something in my body, I finally broke through my mental barrier and returned to my original path. Could it be repeated now?

I stood up, trying to be angry, and threw things around on the dais while I cursed. However, all of this was useless. There were no signs of space being torn apart. Looking at the unconscious Zhang Shan sitting there, I didn't know what to do. Even if he was to die from exhaustion, he still couldn't stop! I rested for a while and secretly decided in my heart that I would go back to drag Zhang Shan and continue walking forward. Even if I were to die of exhaustion in this space without a first cycle, I wouldn't be able to sit still and wait for death.

"Crack!" One of the hind legs of the chair was finally broken by the weight of the friction and dragging. Following that, Zhang Shan, who was tied to the chair, fell to the side. I was afraid of hitting him, so I stretched out a leg in a panic and blocked the path of the fall. The back of the chair carried over two hundred kilograms of weight from Zhang Shan. After smashing onto my feet, it instantly brought about a fiery and stinging pain, and I felt as though my toes were about to break.

"Who is it!?" Who was it! Can you give us a way out? " I screamed at the darkness.

There was no response.

"It's the Wall-Hitting Ghost." The boy's voice rang out. A moment later, I felt the glass eyeball in my pants pocket disappear, and when I looked up, the boy in blue was standing with his back to me.

The boy jumped onto the dais and looked around the hall.

"Ye-zi, is that you?" he called softly.

"Who are you?" Moments later, a somewhat boyish female voice came from the corner.

I followed the sound and saw a girl with red hair slowly coming out of the darkness, staring at the boy on the stage. It really was her! The girl who lured Zhang Shan and I into that sealed space.

"Ye-zi, it's me!" I am Li Jian! " The boy did not expect the girl to not recognize him, and his mood immediately became excited.

"Li Jian …" "The girl rested her chin on her hand, as if she was thinking." Oh... I remember now, you are the person who chased after me fifteen years ago! "

The boy called Li Jian stood there blankly for a long time without uttering a single word.

The boy was silent for a long time before he said, "Ye, come with me! Let's leave this place. I don't blame you for the past. " His voice was clearly hoarse.

"Go?" Why are you leaving? It's so fun here, I want to make these two guys stay and accompany me! "

"Just let them go. Can't I stay with you?" The boy was patient as he spoke in a low voice.

"You? What right do you have to control me? " The girl did not give him any face at all.

"Ye-zi, how can you say that? If I hadn't pushed you out of the way at the end, you wouldn't have been locked in there for so long. " The boy was angry, and the girl had apparently forgotten about him.

"Don't, I'm not in your debt! If you don't push me away, I will go as well. It would have been nice not to say anything about you spoiling me. "Speaking of which, fifteen years ago, why did you bite my finger off?" As the girl spoke, she raised her right hand, and a section of her pinky finger was cut off.

"That's because... "Because …" The boy was stumped and did not know what to say.

"Speak!" Weren't you always reasonable!? " The girl pressed on.

"That's because... At that time, you had already lost your breath, I heard a fortune-teller say … If, before he died, he bit off one of his opponent's little fingers and swallowed it … "In the next life, the two of them will still be together …" The boy's voice was as thin as a mosquito's.

"Ha!" The girl threw her head back and laughed.

"You actually believe that? Let me tell you, Li Jian, it's impossible for us to live and die together. Impossible in this life, and even more impossible in the next! "In the future, don't come to me if you have nothing better to do. You will be annoyed if you see me. If you weren't an honest person, you wouldn't have the heart to hurt me and kick me when I'm still alive!"

As the boy listened to her, the expression on his face kept changing. The girl stopped talking and stood there with her arms crossed, as if waiting to see how the boy would end the fight.

"Let them go. Forget about the past, I won't look for you anymore. That should be okay, right?" The boy's heart rolled for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and raised his head to speak to the girl.

"I'm afraid that's none of your business? You're the soul and I'm the Nightmare. We weren't going to deal with each other in the first place. "Don't meddle in others' business. I will definitely keep these two people here today!" As the girl spoke, her entire body began to emit a layer of black mist.

"Do you really have to go against the Palmprint Holder?" The boy, seeing the girl's posture, stepped in front of me and shouted at her.

"Palmprint Holder?" Hearing these words, the girl's face showed fear, but it was only for a second. She then changed to a more gloomy expression, "I was wondering how you two were going to fight when you broke through my trap. So there was a Palmprint Holder. However, it seems like you do not have the ability, but don't know how to use it. " The girl walked toward me as she spoke.

"Ye-zi, don't mess around!" the boy warned her.

"Nonsense? When the Nightmare met the Palmprint Holder, either he would die, or I would die. I won't kill him since she doesn't know anything right now, but don't tell me that I'll still have to wait for him to come and take me in? " After saying that, the girl rolled her eyes and looked straight at me.

Caught off guard, I was immediately glued to her eyes. Although I knew that I definitely couldn't look at her, once I did, I couldn't make up my mind. I couldn't move my eyes away, I couldn't close them.

The girl began to wink at me. To my horror, I realized that my heart rate had started to beat with the frequency of his blinking. She blinked faster and faster, and my heart was racing like a roller coaster.

Gradually, the girl's blinking slowed, and I began to feel the lack of oxygen. Maybe the moment she stops blinking is the moment I die.

"I... Stay... You put him... Send out... "The cave entrance." I desperately tried to use my remaining will to negotiate with the girl, hoping that she would let Zhang Shan go.

"Humph!" If you negotiate with me, do you have a bargaining chip? " The girl showed no mercy.
