"Blake was taken to the tomb by that swirling black mist!"

"What on earth was that thing?"

"Damn it! What in the world is hidden underneath this place?"

"This must be happening since Blake eradicated the insects, so the black Qi attacked him!"

"It's a sneak attack! That's cowardly! Shameless!"

"Everyone, hurry up and save Blake! He's our hero! We can't just stand by and watch him die!"

"Captain, please don't hesitate anymore. If we're too late, Blake just might die like how John Jones did!"

"Don't mention that wimp. Is he even worthy of being compared to Blake?"

"That's right. If it weren't for John deceiving everyone for his own gains, we wouldn't have misunderstood Blake. That bastard really deserved to die!"

"All of you, stop quarrelling! Blake's condition is unknown, now's not the time to discuss this!"

…

The comments section was busting with the intense clamor of the netizens.

Although everyone expressed their concern in different ways, there was no doubt that everyone was worried about Blake's life.

If only they were at the scene, many of Blake's diehard fans would have rushed to his rescue immediately.

However, not all hope was lost. Some of the men had already started moving. The first person to spring into action was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division.

After he saw Blake getting wrapped up by the black Qi and dragged underground, he hastily tied a safety rope around his body, picked up the rescue equipment, and prepared to move to the tomb.

He was quite certain that it would be safe since the bugs had already been wiped out by Blake. Of course, even if it wasn't, he still wouldn't have hesitated to risk his life for Blake. As a member of the Criminal Investigation Division, it was his duty to rescue people in danger.

However, before he could start his journey down, he was stopped by the team members beside him and pulled away from the entrance of the hole.

"Let go of me, you little bastards! Are you going against your superior?"

The captain shouted sternly.

However, the team members had no intention of letting go. They dragged the captain back and tied him up in a safe area. Then, they put on their equipment and began to prepare the search for Blake.

"Captain, please forgive our insolence. Blake saved our lives as well. Not only is he our savior, but also H City's. We have to save him!

"However, you are the commander of the Criminal Investigation Division. The team is nothing without you!

"Captain, please forgive us!"

Five of the Criminal Investigation Division's members bowed deeply in front of their captain before fastening their positioning belt onto their waists. Then, without wasting any time, they dove into the tunnel leading to the tomb chamber.

"Come back! You bastards! Who allowed you to do this? Come back!"

He wailed loudly as the five of his men disappeared from his sight.

This brought tears to the audience in the livestream as well.

The soldiers of the Criminal Investigation Division were courageous!

They were all heroes of the country!

Everyone wept as they watched these five fearless rescuers risk their lives to bring Blake back safely.

At this moment, there was only one collective wish in everyone's hearts.

'All of you must make it back alive!'

...

Ka!

Ka!

Ka-cha!

On level ground, the commander struggled with all his might and finally broke free from the ropes that bound him.

He quickly tied the same ropes around his body and ran towards the opening of the tomb's passageway, but a loud snap suddenly came from underground!

Then, thick black gas gushed out from the entire tomb!

It was the ghostly Qi! It's moving again!

This time, it stuffed half of the tomb, and the deafening noise sounded again.

Ka, ka, ka, ka, ka!

The safety cables wrapped around the bodies of the five Criminal Investigation Division members instantly snapped and their figures completely faded from view as the storm of dust rolled up in the air.

The members yelled as they plunged down.

"No! No!"

At this point, the captain's hair and face was disheveled, and his body was covered in debris. The ground was still quaking, but he forced himself to climb over and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Boom!

The tomb broke.

The captain's body fell and collided with a large and heavy tree trunk.

He pulled hard so that his body didn't completely fall into the far bottom.

The broadcasting equipment fell into the earth and gravel, its components breaking apart. The livestream was cut off, and every netizen had lost access to it.

From now on, no one out of this place would know what happened next!

"The captain is there! Go rescue him!"

The onlooking team members who had been watching the situation from afar quickly formed a rescue team when they saw that their captain was in danger.

However, the five men of the Criminal Investigation Division and Blake who had disappeared in the cemetery had no chance to be rescued anymore.

After all, currently, the entrance to the underground tomb had been completely sealed off by the rubble from the quake, and no one was able to enter.

...

Meanwhile, under the tomb…

Chi, chi, chi, chi!

The air was filled with Rakshasa's aura lingering in the tomb.

It was surrounding every part of Blake as it ran along the entire tunnel and tomb chamber.

Since the corpse insects had been wiped out, the power of Rakshasa's soul was greatly diminished.

It was like a spirit that had lost its consciousness and drifted aimlessly everywhere in the tomb.

"Monroe! What's the third key to sealing Rakshasa? Hurry up and tell me!"

Blake yelled as he held the Lotus Lamp in his hand, using the ring wrapped around his finger to prevent the erosion of his soul by the ghostly Qi.

Separated by the wall of black aura, Monroe stammered and she could not meet her gaze with Blake's.

The third key… The third key… is…"

Monroe stuttered. She knew what the key to the third step was, but she couldn't say it out loud.

"What is it? What are you hesitating about?"

Blake asked loudly, as he was growing impatient.

He noticed Monroe's evasive gaze and couldn't help but say his guess out loud.

"Is the key to the third step related to you?"

Monroe jolted upon hearing his statement, and she lifted her head toward Blake.

"Hmm? You… How did you know?"

Once he saw her reaction, it confirmed his suspicions.

'This third step must be linked to Monroe, and she's unwilling to admit to it.

'What could it be?

'Why is she so reluctant to tell me about it?'

The cogs in Blake's brain spun rapidly as he began to recall everything that Monroe had told him before.

Then, he stared at the soul ring on his finger.

"Could it be that the third step requires this item?"

He suddenly had an epiphany!

"I know!"

'I get it now!

'Monroe had mentioned beforehand that a 100 years ago, a man named Moses used this tomb chamber as a great magic circle to seal Rakshasa from the human world.

'However, its energy was too powerful, so he placed the spiritual ring above Pandora's Box to dispel its ghostly aura, and because Monroe and the ring were connected, she ended up becoming the guardian of this place.

'This lasted for 100 years, but now, Monroe doesn't want to stay here alone any longer.

'However, if we were to cast another seal on Rakshasa, we will have to use the ring once again. If that happens, Monroe would have to act as the overseer of the tomb again, for god knows how many more years.

'She didn't want to stay here, but she couldn't say it out loud, that's why she has been hesitating this whole time.'

These thoughts appeared in Blake's mind as he tried to predict what Monroe was feeling. So that was the case.

Looking up, Blake saw that Monroe was still unsure, and he smiled reassuringly at her.

'What's there to be embarrassed about?

'As long as I secure Rakshasa and carry it with me along with the soul ring, won't you be able to restrain him and be free at the same time?'

Blake thought to himself before blurting out, "Hey, Monroe! If I want to seal and carry the demon along with me wherever I go, what should I do?"
