Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 154
154 Chapter 154 Let’s look for it together
After some self-encouragement, Wu Xie looked around and saw that no one was around. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and reached out to push the door. However, after pushing it a few times, he discovered, "Huh? It can't be opened." ...I looked at the crack in the door and saw that there was an iron chain behind the door. I thought, "What does this mean? This little obstacle can't stop me!"

At this moment, someone suddenly called him softly: "Brother Wu Xie."

Wu Xie thought he heard it wrong. The little voice sounded very nice and vaguely familiar.But I have just seen that there is no hair on anyone around here. This is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I am not familiar with this place. How could anyone call me... This place is so remote and deserted. It is still in an old alley. I am still standing there. It was dark in front of the ghost building. Could it be that I was too nervous and was hallucinating?

Seeing that he didn't respond, I called him softly: "Brother Wu Xie." I stretched out my hand behind him and gently pulled him. His legs suddenly softened and he bounced out quickly, almost falling. I was busy He grabbed him and said, "Brother Wu Xie, what's wrong with you? It's me."

He suddenly stood still, turned around, stared at me, and breathed heavily.

I waved my hand and called him again: "Brother Wu Xie? Are you okay?"

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Xie held my shoulders and looked at me carefully and said, "Xiao Xun, are you okay? You're still alive, great!" His expression was first frightened, then surprised, then joyful, but finally... It turned into doubt.

He frowned and asked me: "Why are you here? Where is Mengyouping? Is he okay? It was the videotape he sent me, right? This shouldn't be where you two live, right? Where is he?... …”

I thought to myself, he asked a lot of questions in one go. It seemed that some could be answered and some could not be answered. It would be wise to change the subject. I quickly said: "Brother Wu Xie, are you going in? I don't want to go in either." If you want to go in, let’s go together. Even though I’m timid, we can still embolden each other, right?”

Wu Xie took a look and realized that the little girl's appearance here was definitely not a coincidence. Could it be that she had received some kind of video tape like him? The little girl didn't intend to answer his questions. She knew that if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't be able to ask.

I clearly saw him glaring at me... I randomly found a topic to ease my mind: "It's very difficult to find here. How did you find it?"

Wu Xie sighed and said: "What's more, I walked around the old neighborhood for two hours without finding it. The lady in the hair salon saw me walking around the door for so long, so people thought I had evil intentions. Those who were not brave opened the door and smiled at me. In the end, they came by tricycle. Are you the same?"

I nodded. Although I didn't come here by tricycle, I did come to Golmud in his car. This Chi Yan actually pretended to be a tricycle driver.I pointed to the ghost building and asked him: "Then shall we go in?"

Wu Xie thought about it and decided that he really wanted to go into the building. The two of them looked after me. They looked at me and said, "This door is locked. We can only climb in. Can you climb over the wall?"

I said, "You go ahead and read it, I can do it, don't worry."

Wu Xie was obviously a little worried, but when he saw that I was sure, he nodded. He looked around, came under the lamppost, climbed up in a few clicks, and climbed over the wall.

I just flipped over once, but I was flying, so I couldn't do it in front of him. If I flew up, wouldn't he beat me up like a ghost... This time, with spiritual power, I first grabbed the wall and climbed over, and then It would be fine if I jumped normally, but I still felt flustered when I jumped down. Looking down from a high place, I felt dizzy instantly. Wu Xie said: "Come on, jump down, I will catch you." He gave me a hug. I landed smoothly.

I followed Wu Xie through the dilapidated courtyard again and walked to the small building. Wu Xie turned on the lighter, took a photo, and looked at the door.I took out my flashlight, lit it up, and followed him closely.No matter what, it was not as bright as the three small moons just now, and suddenly I felt like I was exploring for the first time... I couldn't help but shudder.

Wu Xie asked me to stand aside. He opened a window and we climbed in carefully. Soon we came to the lobby with blue bricks on the floor.

Wu Xie raised the lighter and turned it around carefully. Suddenly he said "Huh" and said: "This lobby..." It seemed that he found that this place seemed a bit familiar.

The more Wu Xiejue looked at this place, the more it looked like the place where "I" was crawling on the ground in the video.Suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat and his expression became more serious.I followed him to the position that seemed to be captured by the video camera in the video. He looked at it for a moment and confirmed his thoughts, with a complex expression of fear and excitement on his face.

We continued walking inside and came to the spiral wooden staircase on the left side of the lobby. He said to me gently: "Xiao Xun, walk slowly."

I replied: "En."

We tiptoed up the stairs, and the floor creaked with every step we took. I tried to shine the flashlight as far away as possible so that it would not be so dark ahead.

As Wu Xie walked, he took out the 306 key from his pocket and looked at it, thinking about the target 306.Following his gaze, he looked at the treads of the stairs and muttered with confusion on his face: "Footprints? Someone has walked here, and the traces are very new." He turned around and asked, "Xiao Xun? Are these footprints..."

I lowered my head and pretended not to hear. Wu Xie must have thought that there was something weird about this girl!As we continued walking forward, I heard that Wu Xie's breathing was slightly rapid. He must still be very nervous. I was also panicking, but after all, I had just walked through it once, so I wasn't scared anymore.

When he arrived at the cement-sealed area on the second floor, he was also puzzled. He reached out and touched the cement wall and said, "This floor is sealed... there is no door, and the cement work is very rough. Could it be reinforcement?" use?"

I continued walking and soon reached the third floor. This dark corridor was still so weird. I followed Wu Xie closely, not daring to look around and lowering my head slightly.

Wu Xie carefully led me around the spider webs. Along the way, he also checked the house numbers of the rooms covered in dusty paint. Soon, we arrived in front of door 306.

He raised the hot lighter and looked at the number 306 on the door lintel. He suddenly stretched out his hand as if to knock on the door, and then took it back.

He smiled and shook his head.He hesitated for a moment, took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole at the door, and then turned it. With a "click" sound, Wu Xie reached out and easily pushed the door open. The door shaft immediately made a sharp friction sound. "Squeak~~~" The sound echoed in the empty corridor, and a chill instantly came over me. I felt goosebumps rising. Sure enough, it is better to dismantle this kind of door entirely...

Wu Xie took a deep breath and walked in carefully.As soon as I entered the room, the smell hit my face again, not much better than before... I covered my mouth and nose again.

He held up the hot lighter and looked at everything around him in the dim light of the fire.

Wu Xie put the lighter on the table and began to rummage through the drawers of the wooden desk to see if there were any clues. He pulled out the drawers one by one, but they were basically empty inside. There were two drawers. The old newspapers on the pillow were all moldy, and Wu Xie didn't dare to touch them.

Suddenly he asked me: "Xiaoxun, why are you here?"

I thought it was not okay to not answer a question, so I asked him: "Did you also receive the video tape package?" Wu Xie looked at me: "You also received it?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, send it to Qilin Pavilion. Xue Feng gave it to me. The video tape said to come here."

Wu Xie asked: "Who sent you the videotape? Did the sender also say Zhang Qiling, otherwise you wouldn't have come, right?" Seeing that I didn't answer, he added: "Then do you know who it is?" What's the purpose of hooking us here? What information does he want us to get in this house?"

I said, "Have you watched the video? The clue is those archaeological team members. They should have left some clues here."

What was Wu Xie thinking about again, and he kept muttering: "Clue... clue... there's no clue in the drawer, could it be on the bed?" He followed him to the edge of the bed, looked under the bed, and saw that it was full of spider webs, and then Take out a drawer on the side and use it as a tool.

I saw him going to pull off the black quilt, and just as I was about to stop him, he had already pushed the sticky quilt away from the mattress. After a few times, black sticky water came out of the quilt, and there were bugs inside. Inside, the musty smell was overwhelming, and Wu Xie started retching. I didn't dare to look at it, so I patted him and pointed to the big cabinet.

After checking it, he found an old-fashioned window latch on the window sill and pulled it out. It was covered with rust, but it was solid and strong.

He smiled and pulled out one, used it as a pry bar, inserted it into the gap between the cracked cabinet door panels, and began to pry open the gap until he could reach his fingers in. He stopped.He then pulled me and asked me to stand aside, and said to me: "Xiao Xun, stand back so that I don't touch you."

I also said to him: "Be careful."

Then he put one foot against one side, put his hand into the gap, and pulled it out with force.In an instant, the door panel made a terrifying friction sound. The door panel gradually made him bend, and then it made an indescribable and terrifying sound of breaking and popping. The final explosion was the most shocking.We both trembled with fear.

Soon the whole board was broken by him, and all the dust on the door flew up. When Wu Xie turned around, he was still blinking, his eyes were too fascinated to open.

It took him a long time to recover, then he picked up the lighter again and shined it into the cabinet.Soon I saw the doorway and the cement steps leading down.

There was nothing along the way around here. The only time he stopped was probably on the second floor.

It wasn't until we arrived at the cement-reinforced basement that he frowned and asked, "What is this place? Is it really a cellar? Menyoubo asked me to come over to see if his pickled cabbage tastes good?" After that, he I was happy, and I was smiling too.

We followed us to the black coffin. Wu Xie was startled at first and said, "Damn it...how can there be a coffin here? This is really unheard of, and it's an ancient coffin?"

I said, "Of course they were dug up. This is not an ancient tomb."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Well, a coffin of this size and shape should be a coffin. There are no coffins in coffins since the Republic of China. This coffin should have quite a history based on its style, at least 600 years ago, and judging from its size, it's probably not that of an ordinary person's home. It is used, at least by scholar-bureaucrats. Who is in it? Could it be the officer who died here?"

I shook my head. I really didn’t know this. Wu Xie inspected the coffin and touched it. There were fine patterns on it. He said, "This thing feels cold and biting to the touch, like It's a sarcophagus, but I don't know what kind of stone it is, and it's pitch black." When he touched it, he made a few marks on the thick dust on the sarcophagus, revealing some small patterns.

He took a lighter and looked closely at it, and said, "Look here, there are traces of damage on the lid of the coffin, and there are also signs of a pry bar being inserted into the gap between the lid and the coffin body. Someone tried to pry this thing open before." .”

Wu Xie tried to push the lid of the sarcophagus, but it didn't move at all. He sighed, shook his head and said, "Do you think the person who sent the videotape wanted to tell us some incredible things that happened in this sanatorium?"

I nodded and said, "Absolutely, but we can't open this coffin. If there is something inside, we can't handle it. Let's look elsewhere. Look over there, there is an iron door." , go there to have a look?”

I think this is a blocked floor, an ancient coffin, and this half is a secret passage. In addition, the brother and the archaeological team are involved. It’s strange that this place is normal. I was short of time just now and discovered it. I didn’t read the stuff along, there must be clues, because I read it very seriously. I will check with Wu Xie later to see what is written.

After listening to me, we walked to the end of the basement. Wu Xie pushed open the small iron door and paused in the corridor for a moment.

I tugged at him, pointed to the first room next to me and said, "Look at this."

He held up a lighter to take a photo and saw the furnishings inside and said: "This seems to be an office. How could the office be set up underground? This is too weird. In the basement, there is a coffin on one side and an office on the other. Could it be that back then? Is Golmud’s funeral office located here?”

I smiled: "How is that possible? Even if it were, there wouldn't be a coffin like that there. It doesn't match the era. Let's go in and have a look."

Wu Xie walked to the desk while wondering, trying to see what clues there were on it.Soon he also discovered that this room was the one shown in Huo Ling's video. He asked me, "By the way, what was in the video tape you watched?"

I told the truth: "A woman is combing her hair, and you are crawling on the ground." Wu Xie looked at me with wide eyes.He asked: "Have you noticed that this room is the room where the woman combs her hair?"

I nodded to him seriously, walked over to the mirror where she was combing her hair, and pointed to him: "It's right here, right."

Wu Xie's heart started to beat wildly. He took a deep breath and held back his emotions. The weirdness in his heart had reached its peak.

Wu Xie stood there, looking towards the mirror where the camera was placed, and was stunned for a while. It must have been a scene from the memoir tape.

I saw him take a few deep breaths again and calm down. Then, he picked up the lighter and started to look around. He was about to start looking for clues.I said, "Let me find it for you."

I didn't notice where the little brother took it out before, and I couldn't recognize it once it was restored.Then he started searching with Wu Xie.
