Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 36 Corpse Transformation
"Fatty! Why are you always acting like a tank!"

Hu Basheng was afraid that the fat man would cause trouble again, so he hurriedly followed.

The doors of these departments inside are basically ordinary wooden doors, without the complicated locks before, and the structure of most office buildings in the past is similar.

Why is it necessary to look for the keys to these doors?The fat man took out the spirit of the young general back then, and kicked towards the door of the power distribution room.

The door slammed open, and the fat man was about to run in hastily, when a black object fell from his eyes.

With a quick glance, Hu Ba caught it and threw it deep into the corridor, pulling Fatty and Xiao Ran into the power distribution room to lie down.

There was a loud bang in the distance, accompanied by a flash of fire, and then a burst of crackling came from the corridor, and a lot of dust flew out.

There was such a loud sound suddenly in the narrow space, the echo made Xiao Ran's ears ring.

"Fatty, can you play it safe?" Hu Bayi got up and scolded.

The fat man took a flashlight and looked at the door, and saw a thin rope hanging down, with a pull ring tied on it.

"His grandma's, even set up a mechanism! Is Yingzi okay?!"

Xiao Ran hurried out and saw Yingzi poking his head out from behind the iron gate.

"Yingzi, are you okay?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's okay, I saw you guys hiding, and I also hid behind the door, oh my god, my head is buzzing."

Fortunately, Yingzi is smart enough, but at such a distance, Yingzi should not be affected by the thrown grenade.

Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little salty in his mouth, and when he closed his mouth, he was still grim, probably because some ashes fell into his mouth when he lay down just now.

He spat out half of the crushed granules, and took a light with his flashlight, and felt that it was a coarse grain of salt.

He took another photo of his feet, picked up a gray particle and took a closer look, it was indeed salt.

Why are there so many grains of salt in the hallway?What are these little devils up to?
"Who is it!" The fat man in the distribution room suddenly shouted.

Xiao Ran hurried to the power distribution room, and saw the fat man pointing a gun at the depth of the room, while Hu Bayi held a gun with a flashlight and walked in carefully.

Under the light of Hu Bayi's flashlight, a man in the devil's yellow military uniform was facing the door, kneeling on the ground motionless.

Hu Bayi approached the man cautiously, went around to take a look at the front, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This devil committed suicide by caesarean section. It's all right. It's not a zongzi or a living person." Hu Bayi said.

A few people walked around to the corpse, and found that the corpse was not white, but with shriveled skin and flesh like a mummy. From behind, it looked like a thinner living person.

Only then did the fat man heave a sigh of relief, and he and Hu Bayi got busy in the power distribution room.

Although the power generation equipment is relatively old, Hu Bayi has also been trained as a professional engineer, and these things will not trouble him.After a while, he started the generator, and the lights in the corridor flickered.

The fat man went to the door and turned on the light in the power distribution room. He turned around only to find that there were still three round grenades hanging above his head.

"This devil is really insane, isn't he afraid of blowing up that thing?"

While muttering, he cut the rope carefully, handed Xiao Ran a grenade casually, installed one himself, and gave the remaining one to Hu Bayi.

"I said why it exploded suddenly. This is not the Type 91 grenade commonly used by little devils, but the German M39 grenade..." Hu Bayi said.

The fat man quickly took over the conversation, and said to Xiao Ran: "Boss Xiao may not know that the little devil's 91-style grenade, you have to pull the ring and hit it again, and it will explode when you throw it out."

Fatty proudly showed off that his military knowledge was no worse than Hu Bayi's.However, Xiao Ran suddenly felt that it was boring. Originally, he had expected to see what jokes the fat man would have when he got the Japanese grenade.

"This devil has a suicide note, and it's in traditional characters. Come and read it!" Hu Bayi shouted.

The two leaned over and saw that Hu Bayi had scrawled words written on the yellowed letter paper in his hand, and his grammar was not very good. It seemed that this devil's Chinese was not very good.

The gist of the letter was that this person who claimed to be Hidehiko Imai had engaged in aggression with the devil army for many years, and gradually felt that the crime was serious, especially after carrying out some secret missions in this underground fortress, he felt that his country and army were inhumane, so he refused. Evacuate, stay here and commit suicide.

The grenade he hung at the door was reserved for the follow-up troops who came to meet him, that is, the Nammu one.If a local person comes in alive and sees the letter he left, he can go to the confidential room to find more information, and hope that the person who gets the information can try to destroy something.

The things he mentioned to be eliminated were written under pseudonyms, so few people didn't know each other.

"What kind of mission is it that can make devils feel inhumane?" Fatty wondered.

"Don't forget the tricks that the onmyoji did before, you can't believe everything in this letter. But it's normal for a little devil to be inhuman, and it's not unusual for him to do anything. Let's be careful, take it one step at a time. "Xiao Ran said.

He is very suspicious now that this so-called suicide atonement is just a play, part of the onmyoji's tricks.

"The confidential room is inside, and we don't have the key, so we still have to break the door to get in. If there is any trap, it will be troublesome..." Xiao Ran said.

The fat man circled around the mummy and said, "Since this devil asked us to go to the confidential room, why can't we just let us kick the door? There must be a key..."

He walked around to the front, stared at it carefully, and suddenly slapped his legs and said, "Yes!"

Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran hurried over, only to see that the mummy was holding a key between the fingers holding the dagger.

The fat man stretched out his hand to take it, hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his hand, and said to the two with a smile, "My hands are as clumsy as my feet. I don't want to cause trouble. Which one of you will come?"

Hu Bayi said: "This is not opening the coffin. You are not careful when you should be careful, and you are blindly careful when you should not be careful."

After finishing speaking, he still tried his best to carefully break off the mummy's fingers, squeezed the key and pulled it out.

Unexpectedly, the seppuku knife and the key were hung together by a broken string. When Hu Bayi got the key, the knife was also brought to the ground.

The short knife looked quite sharp, and the blade was still shining coldly under the light. Although it was not an antique, it was indeed a good knife. The word "Imai" was engraved on it, so it should be a family knife.

The faces of the three of them sank immediately, feeling that something might happen again, they all looked at the mummy with breathless concentration, the scene was like four people worshiping each other.

After more than ten seconds, there was no movement from the mummy, and the fat man let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "You guys are just scaring yourself, which makes me nervous with you too..."

His breath hit the mummy's face, and a layer of white hair suddenly grew on the mummy's face, covering his facial features almost instantly.

With a slight movement of the mummy's originally stiff fingers, ten sharp nails also slowly grew out.

"Not good! The corpse has changed!" Hu Bayi exclaimed.

He quickly picked up the key, and the two of them got up and ran towards the door.

After running a few steps, a tawny figure fell in front of them, blocking the way to the door.
