Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 35 The Fourth Underground Floor

"Ah! Ah, ah..."

Fatty's voice gradually faded away with the sound of beating and collision, and finally there was a burst of crashing sound.

Several people were taken aback for a moment before they realized it.

"Fat!"

Hu Bayi rushed into the hidden stone gate first, and Xiao Ran and Yingzi followed quickly.

Behind the stone gate, there is a long stone step leading down. Those stone steps are made of roughly polished stone slabs. They look as old as this tomb, and they may have existed before the little devil came.

The three hurriedly walked down dozens of steps, only to see the fat man lying on the ground at the end of the steps.

He moaned "Ouch, Ouch", rubbing his head for a while, his buttocks for a while, and his arms and legs for a while. It seems that he rolled down all the way, and his whole body came into intimate contact with the steps, again and again.

Behind him, there is a huge iron gate with the sign of "no entry allowed" written on it.

It seems that the last loud noise was the sound of the fat man hitting the door like a cannonball.

"Fatty, are you okay? Did you hit your head? Do you think it's three or four?"

Hu Bayi helped the fat man to sit up, stretched out two fingers, and waved them in front of the fat man's eyes.

"Old Hu...you are a real dick! Don't make fun of me! His grandma hurts me so much! I almost have to be buried in this treasured place of geomantic omen..." said the fat man.

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Your skin is rough and fleshy like a bear, so what can you do with the pain? When you fought against the opposing faction, you were fine even if you opened your head..."

Seeing that the two were still joking around, Xiao Ran and Yingzi were also relieved, it seemed that the fat man had at most some bruises, and his brain was still as easy to use as ever.

Xiao Ran's attention was attracted by the door in front of him.This door must be a modern craft. In addition to the slogan prohibiting entry and the little devil's dog-skin plaster flag, there is also a huge nine-petal chrysanthemum pattern in the middle. There is a small groove in the center of the pattern, which is also in the shape of a nine-petal chrysanthemum.

He reached out to touch the groove, and felt a slight looseness. He instinctively felt that this should be the key to opening the door.

"Master Hu, look at this, how do you do it?" Xiao Ran pointed at the doorway.

Hu Bayi helped the fat man up and studied it carefully.The fat man also limped over and took a closer look. Before Hu Bayi could speak, he said unconvincedly: "I'm angry just looking at this little devil's mess! Boss Xiao, lend me a shovel!"

Xiao Ran handed the engineer shovel to the fat man: "Just take it and use it, I have one myself."

The fat man spat in his hand, picked up the shovel and inserted it into the crack of the door, prying it up.But the seemingly simple iron door was not loose at all.

The fat man was already a little hypoglycemic. After exerting his strength, he shook his head and shook his head, then angrily scratched the dog-skin plaster flag and slogan on the door with a shovel.

Hu Bayi said: "This door is different from the airtight door. It looks thinner, but there should be a lock on the inside of the door. As long as you have the key with the positive pattern corresponding to the negative pattern of the chrysanthemum in the middle, you can press it lightly and turn it." Open it, otherwise it will have to be bombarded."

"But where do we have the key?" Yingzi asked.

Xiao Ran thought for a while, and said: "We still have to start with the dead bones. We found a key just now, and we thought it was over. I guess the chrysanthemum yang pattern key is still hidden on that onmyoji."

The few people had no choice but to return to the tomb and carefully search along the path from the coffin to the bones of the Onmyoji.

"Fatty, you said you are so frizzy, why do you owe your hand? The usual warlord style, disorganized and disciplined, looks like a Sun Dianying reborn."

Hu Bayi bent over and took care of the ground carefully, not forgetting to scold the fat man.

The fat man retorted: "I am the iron fist of the people's justice! Who would have thought that this little devil is so insidious, hiding everything... Hey, why does Sun Dianying sound so familiar? Which division does he belong to?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said: "A bandit warlord blew up the tombs of Cixi and Qianlong, and it is said that even the corpses were spared."

"That's a good thing. In our world of Mojin Xiaowei, it's a good idea. But old Hu, don't use bandits to change me. When we learned to sing a model play, the only one you love is to play a mountain sculpture..."

All the way from the coffin, nothing that matched the pattern of the nine-petal chrysanthemum was found.Several people had no choice but to surround the bones, this was the last hope.

Xiao Ran and Fatty worked together to peel off the clothes layer by layer from the skeleton.Waiting for all the clothes to be stripped off, all the bones were exposed to the air.

On the abdomen of the skeleton, there is a rusty blackened metal round buckle, the surface of which is in the shape of a raised nine-petal chrysanthemum.

"The little devil is ruthless enough. He just swallowed things. If that guy came here alive, he would probably have to cut his stomach open to get the key."

Hu Bayi pointed to the blackened chest cavity of the skeleton, where there were also traces of metal corrosion.

"Let him do his best, let's get our treasure!" said the fat man.

He wanted to kick the pile of bones again, but hesitated for a while, but held back.

When they returned to the underground gate, Huba aligned the metal buckle with the groove, pressed it down slightly, and turned it again.

There was a muffled "bang" sound from the iron door, which seemed to come from inside the door, followed by a series of dull and slow "clicks".

This door has not been opened for many years, and it is already a little rusty. Every time there is a sound, everyone holds their breath, for fear that it will suddenly get stuck.

Finally, with a "click", the iron door finally bounced open a crack, and the exciting ceremony of opening the door was finally completed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The things that the little devil said in the letter can't be taken away are in this door. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on our luck." Hu Bayi said.

This time, Yingzi finally didn't plan to go with him anymore, and said timidly: "This experience is too scary, I still don't go in, I just hold the door here, you go and come back quickly..."

"Sure, sister Yingzi is waiting here, the three of us go in and have a look." Hu Bayi said.

Yingzi repeatedly asked the few people to accept as soon as they were ready, and then they opened the heavy rusty iron door together.

After some crunching, the scene behind the iron gate finally appeared in front of everyone.

A few people took a photo with flashlights, and there was a long corridor behind the door. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor, and there were department signs hanging on the door, marking "power distribution room", "confidential room", etc. in two languages. "storage room", "lavatory" and so on.

There is also a long strip of broken carpet on the ground in the middle, which is full of dust and gray-white coarse particles.At the end of the carpet, an iron gate can be vaguely seen, behind which is a gray wall.

"These places are not marked on the map..." Hu Bayi took out the map and looked at it.

Xiao Ran nodded: "I thought it was strange before that the bases of the last two mountains in Yerengou have a large space at the bottom, but there is no connection in between. There should be a hidden fourth underground floor. Now it seems that this is the fourth underground floor. part of the layer."

The dark corridors and the modern layout, in this cave, reveal a bit of discordant gloom.

"Damn it, let's go to Ryoko first!"

Fatty didn't wait for the others, and rushed to the power distribution room closest to the door first.
