I heard that I'm a tomb robber

Chapter 15
Playing a flashlight here, Zhang Yu naturally saw it too, and his face turned livid.

"Corpse!" he reminded.

Mei Qian nodded, put out the cigarette butt, and the two of them retreated lightly to the outside of Yumen.

According to the previous process, standing here will throw stones again to test the ground mechanism.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu heard the rustling sound more and more clearly, and hesitated all of a sudden, even though he was mentally prepared when he fell, that he might encounter such a thing.

But seeing it, who can not be afraid?

He has watched the video and photo of the corpse so many times, and he is probably even more familiar with the original author than Mei Qian.This thing is described in the novel as really evil, not to mention the pain of biting, the key is not to move one by one, it is a group when it moves.

During the archaeological live broadcast a while ago, it took only a few minutes from the discovery of the corpse to the attack. One of the armed policemen protecting the archaeological team was bitten to death by these big insects, and three were seriously injured.

In the end, it took a lot of gasoline to kill these nasty bugs.

If it weren't for the bloody live broadcast this time, it wouldn't have made everyone in Xia Kingdom know about it.

Without considering the power, Zhang Yu turned on the phone again and snapped a photo behind him.

Sure enough, there were also some dark shadows on the way here.

Zhang Yu felt desperate, and couldn't help but clenched his pistol tightly. In his opinion, it would be more enjoyable to give himself a peanut than to be eaten up bit by bit by bugs.

But there are some things to explain beforehand.

"It's about this time, and there is something that I think I should tell you." He took back his phone, tidied up his messy police uniform, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "You may know the people who disappeared in the earthquake this afternoon."

"I know, who are you talking about? Professor Mao? Mao...Maomao?" Mei Qian frowned wildly.Although I am very familiar with Mao Mao, I really don’t know much about his family situation. I went to dinner a few times and never met Mao Mao’s father. I only know that he is busy with work and rarely stays at home. The relationship between father and daughter is not very good. So it is rarely mentioned.When the members of the archaeological team mentioned the disappearance of Professor Mao's father and daughter, he didn't think about it at all, but when it was mentioned at this time, his mind turned, why didn't he understand?
Zhang Yu nodded: "I have done research on the people around you. The father of your little assistant Mao Mao is a professor of archeology at Xiadu University, so..."

Mei Qian's face was frighteningly dark, but his voice was extremely cold: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You are very good at kung fu. If you don't use the gun, you may not be able to subdue it. I was afraid that your overreaction would cause misunderstandings among colleagues. So, I didn't tell you." Zhang Yufei quickly explained.

Mei Qian narrowed her eyes dangerously, turned around without saying a word, went straight into the stone room, and strode towards the monster statue.

Zhang Yu subconsciously wanted to grab him, but the other party was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he walked past the area they had explored before.

Zhang Yu glanced at the group of corpses that were getting closer and larger, gritted his teeth, and followed.

He quickly walked a few steps to Mei Qian's side, and persuaded him: "It was less than two hours since we fell, and Ms. Mao Mao was missing for three hours, and she is still in the golden period of rescue. If she is buried, there will be a search and rescue team to rescue her. If she falls like you and me If you enter here, you will meet sooner or later. I believe that auspicious people have their own signs, and they will be fine."

Mei Qian paused, then continued to walk forward without slowing down at all.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to follow step by step. The two walked around the unicorn statue without saying a word, and easily entered the next corridor.

It's strange to say that the group of black corpses were obviously there, front, back, left, and right, as if they couldn't see the two of them, walking back and forth restlessly, but always kept a distance from them, as if they were scruples about something.

The two of them were silent all the way. This corridor didn't go straight, but had many corners, and they went around for a long time without coming to the end.

On the way, there are often panicked corpses running away, as if they are afraid of the two of them.

This is really very different from the performance in the video data. Could it be that the corpse weeters here are vegetarian and don't bite?

Zhang Yu looked at Mei Qian who was beside him, but saw that there was no doubt or surprise on his face, his heart skipped a beat, and he had some kind of guess.

He thought for a while, and when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly, but from time to time, his eyes would secretly glance at the other's clenched left hand.

About ten minutes later, the disgusting corpse finally disappeared completely.

The dark corridor continued to extend, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the sound of dripping water could be heard occasionally.

Zhang Yu didn't know if he couldn't bear this oppressive atmosphere, or he wanted to dispel the anxiety in Mei Qian's heart, so he found some topics to talk about from time to time.

Of course, often when he said a long paragraph, Mei Qian could only respond with one sentence, and sometimes even replaced it with um, ah.

But no matter what, it seems that Mei Qian's complexion is not as ugly as before.

Knowing that the other party had calmed down, Zhang Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted like this, and before they knew it, they had reached the end of the corridor.

This time there was neither the Dragon Breaking Stone nor the Jade Gate. What they faced was a flat brick wall, no different from the surrounding walls, and it was clearly a dead end.

Just as he was about to discuss with Mei Qian what to do, he saw that the other party held up a flashlight, took pictures of the surroundings, then spread out his left hand, and patted on the wall, and at the end, even put the flashlight in his mouth, put both hands together, and slammed Push that wall.

Zhang Yu sighed lightly, but he had been staring at Mei Qian's left hand, and now it seems that there is clearly nothing in it, could it be that he guessed wrong?

In the middle of self-doubt, the loudspeaker suddenly sounded, and the wall really opened to both sides like a door. This is a secret door.

The two of them didn't enter in a hurry, because just after the secret door opened, a disgusting smell gushed out.

Unable to retch, they retreated hastily and squatted aside for a long time before they recovered.

At this time, a beating light came out from inside.Apparently, the ever-burning lamp inside ignited spontaneously on exposure to the air.

Facing Zhang Yu's probing eyes, Mei Qian reversed his previous silence and said, "Have you ever played an adventure game? The passages of underground buildings like this are definitely not meaningless. Either there are mechanisms or there are unknown ones." The secret door." His tone was flat, but it was the longest sentence he had spoken since he came out of the last stone room.

No matter what Zhang Yu thought in his heart, facing such a straightforward explanation, he could only pinch his nose and believe it.

After feeling that the smell should have almost dissipated, the two stood up and slowly approached.

There was still a faint smell in the air, and it didn't take long for Zhang Yu to get used to it.

Mei Qian still covered her nose, her good physique also has disadvantages, that is, her five senses are too strong, and she is a little more sensitive to smells.

The space here is more than twice as large as the previous stone room, and there are two ever-burning lamps burning on each wall. There are no strange unicorn monsters, nor are they filled with funerary objects like before.There were only a few bronze swords scattered around.

The eyes of the two looked at their feet at the same time. There was no material on the ground, it was pure black, and the surface was covered with grooves.And all the grooves are connected to a circular protrusion in the center, and I don't know what it does.

Zhang Yu originally planned to repeat the old trick, and pulled out the stone statue's claws in his pocket.

But Mei Qian walked in directly, and he could only keep up first.

"This is the secret room!" Mei Qian carefully observed the four walls, but he didn't find any mechanism.

Zhang Yu didn't believe in evil, so he checked all the places where there might be secret doors.

Finally, the eyes of the two people were placed in the middle of the stone room.

"It seems to be a manhole cover." Mei Qian touched it with her hands, frowned, and scraped it with a dagger. The black surface immediately lost a piece, revealing the green color inside.

He scraped the floor again, and it was the same, except that the round lid was clearly made of bronze, while the floor was paved with stone.

Use a dagger to scrape clean the gap between the cover and the ground, push it hard, and there is an unpleasant friction sound, which is indeed active.

The two looked at each other and worked hard together. After a while, the cover was lifted, revealing a round black hole underneath, which was really similar to a sewer well on the road.

Looking down, the beam of the tactical flashlight can only illuminate a piece of blackness. Obviously, it doesn't go straight down, but turns a corner, and it doesn't know where it leads.

Mei Qian looked at the densely packed grooves on the ground, each groove connected to this hole, and remembered the black substance covering the entire ground, his brows twitched, and he had a bad guess in his heart.

Zhang Yu seemed to be thinking of the same place with him, and his face was also ugly.

Mei Qian sighed: "I finally know why the archaeological team couldn't find this place, because this is not an ancient tomb at all. No wonder we didn't see any inscriptions or murals except for those funerary objects. Such a large-scale underground building, Without these, it is obviously unreasonable. This is probably a place of worship built by the ancestors."

Yes, the blackness in the hall is very likely to be dried blood, just because it has been too old and turned into mud, those grooves are obviously blood grooves...
