C101 (1/2)

Just as he entered the house, Lin Jin was met with a few spiderwebs that taught him a lesson, following which, dust began to fall from the windows.

Fortunately, he had lowered his head quickly, or his eyes might not be able to look through the secrets of the building before he did.

Everything was pitch black except for a spot of light coming from the broken door and window.

Lin Jin patted the dust on his head, gathering his energy into his eyes, and took a chance to look at the room with the faint light.

On the ground were pieces of broken wooden planks and cardboard. Some tattered wallpaper was hanging on the wall, casting a shadow on the dark gray wall.

In the air, he could smell a rotten, damp odor continuously, causing him to frown.

Now he was in the lobby of the small building. Looking ahead, he saw three doors on the wall leading to other rooms. They were dark and sinister.

He had already made up his mind before coming here. After looking around for a while, he found a relatively clean spot in the hall. He sat cross-legged on the ground, lost in thought.

His consciousness was naturally unaffected by the light and obstacles. As it left the shackles of his body, everything in the room was reflected into his consciousness, not missing anything.

The lock dragonwell was underground so naturally, they wouldn't need to look for him upstairs. With a single thought, his consciousness passed through the concrete floor and arrived at the underground.

Because he had only experienced being on the ground before, the moment he entered the ground, he immediately felt uncomfortable. All he felt was layers upon layers of earth wrapping around him, causing him to feel a sense of oppression.

Although the body of consciousness did not need to breathe, it was in such an environment. He still had a suffocating feeling.

With his body as the center, he went about twenty meters underground. He searched around the house but did not find any traces of a well. Even the soil was not very moist.

Is the lock dragonwell not here? He could not help but feel a strange sensation as he quickly searched for another twenty meters. However, after searching the underground corners of the building once again, he still couldn't find anything.

Since there were no harvests, and the dirt was moving uncomfortably. His consciousness quickly returned to the ground.

Looking at the mess in the room once again, although he was unfamiliar with it, it made him stifled his anger.

Since he was not satisfied with his wasted visit, Lin Jin decided to just walk around the room using his own consciousness. He wanted to see if there were any other traces.

But he had been through all the rooms downstairs, and found nothing but dirty floors and walls and cobwebs that could be seen.

Then he went through the rooms upstairs and found no valuable clues. In the midst of his depression, he suddenly thought, there isn't any in the small building, could it be in the back of the building?

Thinking about that, Lin Jin's consciousness immediately passed through the small building from the other side. Just out of the wall. He felt the world suddenly light up. In front of him, it was no longer the shape that his consciousness sensed, but true light.

He looked up at the sky. He saw a clear moon coldly shining its light, illuminating the entire floor.

Only now did he realize that behind this small building, there was actually a yard that was next to a small mountain. In the corner of the courtyard, there was an ancient well.

He quickly turned around and discovered that there was a small wooden door about half the height of a person on the wall behind the building.

However, on the opposite side of the small wooden door, there was a layer of paint that was the same color as the wall, causing him to pass through the door several times but not discover anything unusual.

He flew to the top of the ancient well and used his consciousness to look at it. He discovered that the mouth of the well was covered by a thick iron cover. He did not know what was below him.

Outside the well wall hung a child's arm-thick pitch-black iron chain. The material of the iron chain appeared to be the same as the iron chain he saw on the walls of the mysterious and deep pond in the Longquan cave.

Consciousness, after all, does not look as real as eyes or hands. He called out. His consciousness immediately flew back to his body.

After he let out a light breath, Lin Jin opened his eyes.

The road in this small building passed through his consciousness a few times. The situation on the ground had been completely memorized in his mind. Lin Jin walked to the hidden door familiarly. Using his strength, he kicked the zhenqi with his foot.

”Bam!”

A loud sound echoed in the room. The small wooden door let out a groan under the tremendous force and flew into the yard behind the small building.

A ray of cold light immediately shone onto Lin Jin's feet.

Bending into the courtyard, Lin Jin directly arrived at the Ancient Well under the illumination of the moonlight.

Everything was as he had seen it from the outside.

After circling the well once, he found that the opening was about one meter in diameter, which made it look extremely narrow.

Moreover, he also discovered that there was a palm-sized hole or two beside the large iron cover. It seemed to be made for pulling.

Lin Jin reached his hands into the two depressions and lifted them up forcefully. A muffled sound of metal colliding resounded, and a large iron lid was slowly lifted up by him, moving to the side of an empty space.

Immediately after, a gust of cold, bone-piercing air emerged from the well, and the entire space seemed to turn cold.

When he reached the mouth of the well, he stuck his head into it and looked inside. He could only feel an even more intense and cold air rising from the well. Accompanying it was a fishy smell that made people want to puke.

If not for his determination, in the face of this cold and fishy smell, he would have most likely fainted.

He quickly retracted his head, and after a while, he continued to stretch his head forward.

When he suppressed his nausea and looked down the well, he saw a bright moon reflected in the well, and it was very deep. If not for the constant fishy smell, it would have been an excellent scenery.

About half a meter down the well, there was a child's arm thick black chain that was quietly suspended there.

As expected, lock dragonwell was right!

Seeing that an earth-shattering secret that he had guessed for so long was about to be solved, Lin Jin was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up. He only recovered after taking a few rounds around the courtyard.

Returning back to the well, Lin Jin took a deep breath, fished out a metal chain from the well wall and pulled it up forcefully.

When he touched it, he felt that the chain was very heavy, and it seemed like he was unable to pull it up, and only by moving the zhenqi could he barely pull it up.

He placed it in his hand and examined it carefully. He discovered that the material of this chain was indeed the same as the one in the mysterious deep pool, but it was much thinner.
