Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 197
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran combined what he found in the secret room under the platform with what happened to Liu Shengli and Xu Er, plus his own speculation, and told them a complete string.

Back then, Tianling Sanren kept using animals and humans to experiment with the so-called living pills, and finally experimented on a pregnant woman, which resulted in a deformed fetus.I don't know what this Tianling Sanren is based on, but in short, he believes that this freak is a perfect long creature that combines man and god.

Perhaps the fetus was congenitally deficient, making Tianling Sanren think that he died, so he used some kind of secret method to soak the freak in a liquid that might have antiseptic effects, and hid it in the secret room where he practiced.

And because of the influence of the living pill, the mother of the freak turned into a half-human, half-worm living dead.For some reason, Tianling Sanren did not destroy the failed product derived from this experiment.

So after Tianling Sanren disappeared, this deformed mother wandered around the hall, looking for her child, and using her instinct and memory to protect her child with darkness.

Until today, the three of Xiao Ran came to this hall by mistake, and by the coincidence of the two sides, they finally facilitated the reunion of mother and child.

When Xu Er and Liu Shengli heard what Xiao Ran said, the mother took the initiative to hold the child and fell into the abyss, both of them had red eyes and fell into self-blame.

Xiao Ran comforted the two of them, maybe this mother has survived in this state for hundreds of years, just because she believes that she can find her own child, it does not mean that she is willing to enjoy this so-called longevity.

What Liu Shengli and Xu Er did was for self-protection, which was completely understandable; secondly, they helped fulfill her ideas.Doesn't that resolute jump just show that she has made up her mind?
After Liu Shengli and Xu Er heard this, although they felt better, they still blamed themselves, and then turned to resentment towards that Tianling Sanren.

"The old bastard is thrown away! What a dog asks for is for goods! How hateful! How hateful!"

Xu Er stomped his feet angrily, scolded Tianling Sanren bloody with the swear words he knew, only hated that Tianling Sanren was not in front of him.

At the end, the two calmed down, and Liu Shengli asked Xiao Ran, "Manager, does it mean that there is really longevity in this world?"

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe there is! What's the matter? You also want to eat that living pill? Become an immortal monster?"

Liu Shengli waved his hands again and again, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, no! I'm just wondering, I'm just asking, I have no other ideas!"

When the topic came to this point, Xiao Ran also became interested in this living pill.Looking at it now, whether it is the mother and child in the hall, or the lynxes outside the hall that have shed their skin, they are all works of Tianling Sanren.This living pill can indeed achieve a certain biological symbiosis effect, and at the same time prolong the lifespan of the parasite.

In other words, those lynxes, and the strange insects parasitic on them, have lived for at least hundreds of years, and they have also left the legend of the "grasshopper" eating people's brains in the local area.

Not only that, judging from the few lynxes that chased them to the front of Danfang, perhaps these kinds of parasites also have some kind of evolution.Perhaps as long as there are enough numbers, there will also be parasites with more perfect shapes, just like those lynxes with relatively complete fur.

Xiao Ran is now basically sure that the "living pill" mentioned by Tianling Sanren is actually the eggs of the strange insects that live in the brain.It's just that where the egg came from is unknown.Judging from Xia Qiusheng's notes, Tianling Sanren refused to reveal this most closely related disciple.

This old lunatic's methods are really crueler than what li xuan has heard or seen.If you come across anything related to Tianling Sanren or living pills, you must destroy them.

After a short rest, Xiao Ran asked Liu Shengli to pull out the copper key on the door, and it was time to continue looking for a way out.

Liu Shengli went to pull out the key, then ran back excitedly, and said to Xiao Ran: "Manager, that iron gate will open again, shall we go in and have a look?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while, then shook his head.Judging from the secret room under the platform, there should be a machine expansion structure hidden in the entire mountain wall here, and there is no extra space left for other passages.If you want to find a way out, you still have to start from the remaining doors.

According to his guess about the Sanren of Tianling, this underground hall must have at least one passage leading to the outside world.

He took the two of them and jumped to the next platform, which is the sixth door of the main hall.This iron gate was still concealed, Xiao Ran asked the two of them to light the oil lamp at the gate, and now no one would come to blow the lamp.

After Xiao Ran opened the iron door, a stale stench gushed out from the door.The space behind the door is not too big, square and about ten square meters.There are many broken bones of small creatures scattered on the ground, which should be mice, snakes, geckos and other small animals.

In the corner of the house, there were still some messy weeds piled up, but in this dark underground, it was already a little damp.

Xiao Ran asked Liu Shengli and Xu Er to wait at the door as usual, and went in first to explore.He knocked on the wall and the ground all the way, but didn't hear any empty sound.Walking all the way to the haystack, he saw a small tiger-head hat in the middle of the haystack, but it was a bit tattered and dirty.

He looked around with the flashlight, and immediately understood that this was the cell where the mother was detained.After the Tianling Sanren left, this mother still regarded this place as her residence, and that little tiger-head hat was her comfort for hundreds of years.

Naturally, there can't be any passage leading to the outside world, so Xiao Ran called Liu Shengli to come in, lit the haystack and the tiger hat on the ground with a torch, and then the two left the room.

They continued across to the next platform, which was the seventh door.Liu Shengli and Xu Er lit the oil lamp at the door and looked at Xiao Ran expectantly.Xiao Ran inserted the key into the keyhole of the iron door and made a hollow sound.

Before he could turn the key, there was a low-pitched roar from the door, which sounded fierce but weak.Xiao Ran stared at the two people next to him with wide eyes, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.

I don't know if there is a way out behind the door, but there must be something alive, or maybe a half-dead thing, waiting for them.

Xiao Ran asked the two of them for their opinions: "You all heard the sound just now, should we drive or not?"

Liu Shengli and Xu Er looked at each other, then turned their eyes to him.Liu Shengli said: "What's in it, it must be the manager, you have to spend some time to solve it, of course, the two of us must have rounded up our arms to help you. But in case there is a way out..."

"Liu'er, listen to what you said, does it sound like a fart?"

Xiao Ran said it on his lips, but he also thought so in his heart.At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that there were really not many opportunities left for them to find a way out, and there were only four times including this.

"Then let's go! It's a big deal to fight again. You two should be smart and protect yourself first."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he led the two of them to hide behind the door and stand against the wall. He drew out his knife to shield himself, and at the same time stretched out a hand to twist the key.

With a sound of "Hang", Xiao Ran suddenly opened the iron door.At this time, the three of them are behind the door, no matter what comes out inside, they can give the three of them a chance to get the upper hand.

But as the iron door opened, a strong stench filled the entire hall in an instant, and then a large number of stumped limbs, broken arms and broken bones poured out from the door.
