Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 203 The Cage
The brain-drilling fly seemed to be able to tell which of the three was the easiest to attack. Sure enough, Liu Shengli froze in place when he saw the tubular mouthparts flying towards him.

Xiao Ran didn't prevent this brain-drilling fly with its guts all over the ground from doing such a dying blow, and wanted to draw a knife to strike but was a step too late. It seems that they didn't have time to taste a bite of the brain-drilling fly, this brain-drilling fly I want to taste the taste of human brains again.

A gray-black shadow with two red lights suddenly bounced over like lightning.Hearing a "pop", a gust of wind blew towards Liu Shengli's face, and even Xiao Ran beside him felt his hair flutter slightly.

Looking at the Tufted Horned Glazed Dragon in front of him, he had already held that brain-drilling fly that just wanted to make a sudden attack in his mouth, and the whole process didn't even take a second.If it wanted to eat people from the very beginning, Xiao Ran and the others would not be able to escape unscathed.

Fortunately, this spiritual creature loves swallowing pills and taking medicine, and loves to do business with people, so it doesn't have much interest in human flesh.

The tufted-horned glazed dragon bit the brain-drilling fly, and instinctively stretched its neck to swallow it down, but it seemed to suddenly remember that this was the "payment" for business, and held the half-swallowed brain-drilling fly in its mouth in a daze. Looking at Xiao Ran and the three of them.

Xiao Ran rejoiced for a while, and said with a smothered smile, "Brother Long, you swallowed this by yourself. You've already rinsed your mouth with it, so it's not appropriate to give it to us. You should enjoy it yourself. We meet again in Shanshui. , if you are really sorry, you owe the favor first, and you may have a chance to trouble your old man again..."

The tufted-horned glazed dragon didn't know if it understood what he said, and after a few seconds of stunned, it had no choice but to swallow the half-dead brainfly.Under the light of the flashlight, a worm-like swelling squirmed, slid down the glass dragon's throat, passed through its esophagus and fell into its stomach.Feeling the entry of fresh food, its stomach began to stir rhythmically.

Liulilong hung his head, sticking out his long bright red tongue, and seemed to walk away helplessly to make way for the door.Xiao Ran sighed in his heart, this bastard was too trustworthy, he would feel embarrassed if he broke his trust, he was much better than many people now.

He punched the Tufted-horned Glazed Dragon, and beckoned them to leave quickly.

Liu Shengli asked Xu Er for another pill, and tremblingly offered it to Liulilong with both hands: "Master Long, I will never forget your life-saving grace. If I have a chance in the future, I must get some Changbai ginseng and Cordyceps to honor you. This pill It's a trivial matter, don't dislike it..."

Liulilong spat out the letter, flexibly rolled up the elixir in Liu Shengli's hand with the fork of his tongue and swallowed it, shook his body happily, and walked back into the incinerator.

The three of them returned to the iron gate, and they all sighed helplessly.This time they did find a passage to the outside, but unfortunately they were not allowed to go.In this way, we can only hope for the remaining two doors.

Xiao Ran watched Xu Er dragging a long stick out while looking back, and asked, "Why are you still carrying this set of sticks? Do you want to catch that glazed dragon and take out the gentian?"

Xu Er looked at the set of poles in his hand with a dazed expression, raised his head and smirked and said, "I don't have that ability... I forgot I still had this thing in my hand, so I took it out by the way."

After finishing speaking, he was about to throw the pole back, but Xiao Ran stopped him and said, "Forget it, keep it, who knows what troubles lie ahead, just in case it comes in handy."

Xiao Ran led the two of them to jump to the next platform, lit the oil lamps on both sides of the iron door, inserted the key into the keyhole with ease and turned it, and there was another roaring sound from behind the door.

It seems that the level of secrecy in this room is no less than that of the torture room next to it.Although he knew that there was no mechanism in front of the door, Xiao Ran still pulled the two of them back a few steps.

Following a series of "click" sounds, the iron door also bounced open with a "bang".There is no mechanism, no dirty and harmful gas, only the creaking sound of the iron door shaking.

Xiao Ran took a flashlight to look inside the door from a distance, and found that behind the ninth door and the eighth door were the same structure of three doors, except for the outer iron door, which was a hollow iron gate and a solid gate.

Xiao Ran walked to the door and told the two to wait outside. He stepped into the ninth door first.

This room does not have a sunken structure, but except for the wall where the door is located, multiple compartments have been built along the other three walls, and the iron door is facing a passage leading to the end.Most of the compartments are closed by iron gates, so that the whole room looks like a huge prison.

Xiao Ran stepped into the room and looked at the first compartment on the left. Above the compartment was a dusty and rusty bronze plaque, engraved with the traditional Chinese characters "Ganjiaziyi" in intaglio.

Xiao Ran walked all the way forward and found that the cell numbers used the combination of Bagua, Tiangan, Earthly Branches and numbers.However, most of the rooms were empty with their doors open, or there were only scattered bones, so it was unclear how the house numbers were classified.

Thinking about the experimental records of Tianling Sanren, Xiao Ran speculated that they might be classified according to species, gender, etc., perhaps including the success or failure of the experiment, the degree of progress, and so on.

Judging from the skulls, in the cells where the doors were not opened, there were mostly humans and lynxes, and there were even mandrills whose skulls were close to those of humans but with sharp teeth.

These may be the test subjects who died after the experiment failed, or they may be the poor people who didn't have time to evacuate or destroy them when the Tianling Sanren left.

Walking to the middle of the room, Xiao Ran noticed that a prison cell was missing on the right wall, replaced by a half-person-high stone gate with a wrench beside it.

Xiao Ran thought about it, the stone gate should be the gate on the left wall of the torture room next to him, and passing through the gate is the gentle slope more than one meter wide.In connection with the set of pole tools under the gentle slope, he guessed that this door should be used to transport experimental objects to the torture chamber.

The living experimental products were caught from the prison, and then sent to the torture room next door through this gate, and then controlled by the people in the torture room.

That being said... Tianling Sanren must not be the only one busy here.It's no wonder that such a large prison, and a laboratory of hundreds of square meters next door, must need helpers, and there may be a lot of them.

He tried to pull the wrench, and there was a rumbling sound on the wall. He looked at the stone gate patiently, but the gate did not rise, but the mechanism sounded continuously.

He was wondering when he suddenly heard a noise coming from his head.He subconsciously raised the flashlight to take a look, but saw an iron cage half the size of a prison cell crashing down from the sky.

He couldn't dodge in time, and was firmly held by the big iron cage. In an instant, a burst of dust flew everywhere, choking his nose and tears.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er who were outside the door heard the commotion inside, and ignored Xiao Ran's instructions, rushed in and kept shouting.Xiao Ran held back his cough to respond to their shouts, and only then did the two of them get a photo of where Xiao Ran was.

"Manager! Why are you locked up? There are other people in this room?!"

Hearing what Liu Shengli said, Xu Er nervously clenched the pole, turned around and looked around.

"There's a fart..."

Before Xiao Ran finished speaking, the stone gate behind him suddenly opened, and a stream of stale air mixed with the smell of corpses spewed out, directly hitting the door of the three of them.
