Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 38 Assumptions
038 Chapter 38 Hypothesis

The fat man gestured with his makeup, twisted his body, raised his buttocks, tilted his head and stroked his temples.Wu Xie frowned but wanted to laugh again.

Suddenly the fat man seemed to see something and shouted excitedly in a woman's voice: "I've found it! I've found it! I've found it! I've found it! I've found it!" Jumping up and down, he looked at the reflection of the stone tablet. I suddenly felt that I was pretending to be a woman, which was a bit nauseating. I said "Oh" and felt disgusted.

When the fat man yelled, my little brother and I also looked over. The fat man looked really interesting, and he succeeded in making me laugh.The little brother looked at me with soft eyes and said to me: "I feel better." I nodded, and he continued: "Come, let's go over and have a look." He held my hand and walked over.

After the efforts of Comrade Fatty, we found the birth mark. Fatty still took the lead, followed by Wu Xie and me, and the younger brother walked last.

Wu Xie reminded the fat man as he walked: "Fat man, let me tell you, when you get there, don't touch anything. This place is full of agencies. We will still have a lot of time in the future. We don't have to worry about a few dead people." Please explain yourself here! I’m telling you, don’t touch the Night Pearl, do you hear me?”

The fat man had already made Wu Xie talk about it very impatiently and said: "Oh, you said you don't want to nag, and you will not touch anything except bricks, okay?"

We walked straight forward. This road was extremely long and felt endless. The entire stone road was pitch black, and I felt really uncomfortable.

The fat man complained all the way: "You said that the owner of this tomb is too stingy. This stone path clearly discriminates against us fat people. It is so narrow. Why do you think this heavenly path leading to the heavenly gate is so shabby?"

Wu Xie said to him: "This is a ship burial. No matter how big the ship is, there is a limit. I guess in order to highlight his heavenly palace, he had to save space in other places. Besides, the people who were buried in this place were always short and thin. , who would have thought that there would be a fat man."

After hearing this, the fat man said triumphantly: "Hey! That is, throughout the ages, there is a group of people who have touched gold. Apart from other things, you, Fatty, and I are also number one in terms of body. But being fat does not affect my skills at all, right? , this is called...ouch!"

As the fat man spoke, his shoulders suddenly pressed against the stone walls on both sides and got stuck in the walkway.

Wu Xie laughed: "If I tell you to brag nonsense, you're just slapping yourself in the face."

The fat man moved forward, but he couldn't get through. He wondered in his heart: "Don't laugh yet, that's not right. I was walking smoothly just now, why am I stuck?"

I looked forward and said to him: "Fat man, please exit and take a look first." I turned around and said to the little brother: "Brother, something doesn't seem right. There's no reason why it's stuck." I also felt a little confused and quickly checked.

The fat man swung his big butt and moved back a few steps, but it was still stuck. He suddenly said: "Well, no, no! I think there is something wrong with the wall!"

Wu Xie hurriedly looked back and forth, and suddenly had an ominous premonition and said, "Oh no, these two walls seem to be gradually narrowing."

The younger brother also touched the wall and shouted: "Exit first."

Wu Xie urged: "Fat man, come out quickly and run away."

The fat man yelled anxiously: "Wait for me, wait for me, help me, didn't you see that I can't get out? Don't bother yourself and run away!"

Wu Xie quickly grabbed him and pulled him out. We hurriedly followed the little brother and ran towards the secret door. The wall around us was still getting narrower. Before I could squeeze in because I was small, Wu Xie had to turn sideways to pass. It’s much more difficult, now I can only walk sideways.

When we got to the door, the boy reached out and opened the secret door. He opened it twice, then suddenly cursed, turned to me and said, "Someone jammed the door shaft outside!"

My first reaction was: "Is it An Ning? She is going to harm us as soon as she comes in."

When the fat man heard this, his face turned green and he cursed: "You idiot, you guys must think of a solution quickly, otherwise we will return to our positions today!"

When I was anxious, I made a gesture with my hands, crossed my hands in front of my chest, then moved my left hand outwards with my right hand without moving my left hand, tapped the air a few times from bottom to top, and made several invisible supports between the two walls. Just hold on for a while.I called out, "Brother." I opened my right hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and I asked him, "Did you see it?" He glanced far away and nodded to me.I added: "This mechanism is very powerful. I don't know how long it can last. I think both ends may not work. Do you think it is possible to move upward?"

The little brother looked at it, nodded to me, and asked me: "Then you..." I stretched out my hand and said: "Don't worry, I can do it."

At this moment, Wu Xie was so anxious that he said: "Why don't you run forward? If you run faster, you might still have a chance to survive!"

I grabbed him and said to him: "Oh, it's been too long. It's too late. Let's go up!"

As he said that, the little brother put his feet on the walls on both sides and climbed up.

I looked up and saw that it was definitely not possible to climb on me, but it was still possible to fly upwards. I quietly gestured and jumped upwards in a whoosh.Wu Xie happened to look up and saw that my speed was almost as fast as that of my little brother. I went up in no time, but I didn't have time to get curious and hurriedly asked the fat man to climb up together.

The fat man was nagging as he climbed: "Brother, it's better to have a quick brain. Now, we can jump off the building and commit suicide before we are crushed into cakes! To avoid suffering the physical pain."

The little brother shouted from above: "Don't think too much, we still have time, do you still remember the hole under the coffin?"

The fat man replied: "Of course I remember, but what does it have to do with us? Oh! I understand. You mean, we must learn from his spirit and never give up until the last moment, right?"

The little brother said: "No, there is no reverse fighter in this world who would leave the underground palace and not leave. Instead, he would drill holes in the walls of the underground palace. If this is the case, there is only one reason. What kind of dilemma did he encounter? We must cut a hole in the wall of the underground palace to escape.”

Wu Xie understood immediately after hearing this: "You mean the person who dug this hole was forced to dig this hole under the same circumstances as us?"

I have been following the little brother, half-floating in the air, waiting for him. When I was almost at the top, I shook my hand, jumped up, popped my head up, observed it and said softly: "Brother, it's so narrow up here. ah."

The little brother said: "I'll go up first, you go up."

While talking, the little brother climbed to the top and pulled me up. I turned around and shouted, "Wu Xie, fat man, hurry up." They both came up one after another.

Fatty Wu Xie was panting heavily, and he was sighing while panting.

Wu Xie knocked on the blue brick here: "It is indeed hollow. This kind of brick can be pressed but not cut. With the right tools, it should be very convenient to make a hole."

The boy looked around with his flashlight, but couldn't see the hole.

The fat man looked around: "Oops, little brother, you said the stone path is so long, what if he makes the entrance at the other end of the corridor?"

The little brother said: "Anyone who encounters this kind of situation will definitely run towards the exit first and find that the exit door is stuck, and then they will use the last resort method of breaking into the hole. Therefore, the entrance to the hole must be near here." , if he hits on the other side, we have no choice but to admit defeat."

Everyone calmed down a little and the little brother said: "Come on, let's go."

As we walked, we started searching sideways.It's very narrow here, but it's narrow. A small guy like me can still walk without any problems. The younger brother and Wu Xie are also in good condition. They also have a lot of room when turning sideways. But the fat guy is in trouble, with his big belly. You have to shrink down to move in this gap, which is quite hard.

Wu Xie comforted him and said, "The compression ratio of fat is still very high. As long as the wall doesn't hit your bones, it's okay."

The fat man was almost furious after hearing this. He waved his hands and said, "Fuck you."

After walking for a while, the little brother suddenly stopped. I bumped into him. The little brother looked at the blue brick above his head and saw a line of blood written on it.At this moment, Wu Xie and Fatty put some distance away from us. The little brother shined a flashlight on Wu Xie and asked them to follow us.

After Wu Xie came over, he looked at the words on the brick and read: "Wu Sansheng harmed me. He had no choice but to die unjustly. Heaven and earth serve as a lesson - Jie Lian Lian."

The fat man asked: "Who is going to solve the chain?"

The little brother said: "This Xie Lianhuan is also a member of the archaeological team, the one who died in the coral reef with the snake eyebrow copper fish in his hand."

Wu Xie was confused and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did he say that his third uncle harmed him?"

I looked at his expression and felt very complicated, so I called him: "Brother Wu Xie, are you okay?"

The little brother pushed him through me and said to him: "Since he left a message here and was not trapped here, it means that the robber cave must be nearby. We don't have time to think about what he meant now. Move forward quickly.”

Wu Xie murmured as he walked: "Untie the Lianlian... Untie the Lianlian..."

I said, "Are you wondering who Jie Lianhuan is? This Jie Lianhuan is an archaeological team member back then and a member of the Jiumen Jie family. He is still a relative of your family. Brother Wu Xie, don't think too much about it yet." "

I glanced at him quietly, and Wu Xie, as if he had lost his soul, said back to me: "Ah..."

The fat man pushed him from behind, and Wu Xie couldn't think about it further, so he had to move forward quickly.

At this time, a dark hole appeared on the top of the brick. The little brother explored it first, got in, and kicked the two walls of the hole to make sure it was strong enough, and then pulled me in.

We had just stood firm, and at first glance, there was only a narrow gap between the two walls. If it had been a little later, even if we had discovered the hole, we would not have been able to climb in. It was really dangerous.

The skin on the fat man's body has been worn out, his face is ashen, and he has a look of despair. He gasped and said: "This time I have a better memory. I will lose weight after I go back, otherwise I will write the character "王" upside down. "

The hole was first dug vertically upwards, about as high as a person, and then changed its angle, heading eastward at an angle.

When we walked to the inclined section, it was very difficult for the three of them. I couldn't use any strength at all, so I relied on my brother and Wu Xie to help me.

We took a break for a while. Along the way, our legs were tense, sore and weak.

Wu Xie said: "This hole is zigzag upward. In terms of architecture, if it is made this way, even if a small collapse occurs, it will not cause great danger. It seems that this chain link is not something to be taken lightly."

The fat man gasped and asked, "Brother, what on earth is going on? Why was it fine to take this road 20 years ago, but this time I almost got pinched to death? Are you taking the wrong road?"

The younger brother closed his eyes to rest, thought for a moment and said, "This is unlikely, unless the mark indicating the gate of life in the stone tablet has been changed by someone. You see how dangerous the situation just now is, I guess we have entered the gate of death."

The fat man was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that girl Aning found out that we were still alive and came to plot against us again?"

Wu Xie said with a sad face: "Probably not, she doesn't have the ability to change the mechanism of the ancient tomb hundreds of years ago." After speaking, he was stunned for a moment and then said: "Is it the third uncle?"

The little brother saw Wu Xie's worries and made an assumption. First, let's assume that 20 years ago, the third uncle and Xie Lianlian knew each other and even had a very good relationship, but they didn't show it. When we first searched , Xie Huanlian may have discovered the existence of the undersea tomb, but he did not tell anyone, only Wu Sansheng.

Both of them were born in inverted fights. Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity at this time, so they found a time to sneak into this ancient tomb while others were not paying attention. Both of them are masters. Disaster.However, after they entered the ancient tomb, something unexpected happened, which caused the third uncle to become murderous, and wanted to design to kill Xie Lianhuan.

We can't know the specific process, but we can be sure that when Xie Lianhuan was desperate, he left a bloody book on the brick roof of the aisle, but suddenly found that the brick roof was hollow, and he must have some tools with him, so he quickly He dug a robbery hole and saved his life.

Wu Xie listened very carefully. I also felt that the little brother's analysis could not find any loopholes. It could be said to be flawless. He continued.

After Xie Lianhuan escaped, he wanted to use this robbery hole to escape. He relied on his own experience and after several failures, he finally escaped from the ancient tomb. After that, of course he immediately wanted to go to Wu Sansheng to settle the score, but he didn't expect to meet him. After Wu Sanxing, he was killed by him.Disguising his body as if he died accidentally after getting stuck on a coral reef.

Hearing this, I think Wu Xie's expression is a little bad. After all, in the hypothesis, his third uncle did something bad... But he can't find a reason to refute the little brother, and he said it is a hypothesis. I think he I was holding it all in, and it looked like it was about to explode...

Afterwards, for a certain purpose, or really to avoid the storm, Wu Sansheng took us all into the underwater tomb, and then pretended to sleep by himself. At this time, I discovered the secret of porcelain and brought everyone to that pool. Next, this may be something he didn't think of. He had no choice but to pretend to be possessed by a female ghost, lead us into the room where the model was placed, and then fascinate us all in the passage behind the mirror.

He should have done something to us after we were in a coma. How I came out after that and what happened to others, I can’t tell, but I am sure that other people should have lost their memory like me. In the past In the past 20 years, even if I see each other, I will only feel familiar.

When Wu Xie heard this, he suddenly asked excitedly: "Then why didn't Third Uncle just kill you all at that time? Wouldn't this make everything clear?"

The younger brother shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out, but maybe he didn't think it was necessary to kill us at that time, because after all, we didn't know anything."

Wu Xie suddenly shouted: "Your assumption almost imagines the third uncle as a big devil with deliberate plans and premeditated plans. I really can't accept it. In my impression, the third uncle does not do it, and it is definitely not like this." people."

Look, what I'm talking about is about to explode... It's quite scary when he shouts like this. Judging from some of the things I know so far, things are a bit complicated now.

If it was Wu Sansheng who was in front of the stone tablet that day, then who could that figure that I saw following the team be?And there are the two people who took away the other team members... If one is Wu Sansheng and the other is the person who has been following behind, then why did they stun everyone and where did they take them?Coupled with my brother's speculation, there must be other things involved. I'm afraid it's not that simple, and Jude was not idle during the exam back then...

I said tremblingly: "Well... I have a few questions. Actually, the words are carved like that. Except for experts like you who can tell the approximate time of the carving, no one can be sure that those words must have been carved by Jie Lian. , the content of the text alone cannot tell who is good and who is bad. I always feel that those words are not quite right. Also, if the person who died in the coral reef died in the water and was soaked for a period of time, the person would be It will be swollen, right? How did you determine that he was the one who solved the connection? Maybe it was someone else. Assuming that it was the third uncle who killed the connection, then the little brother’s analysis really can’t find any problems. At least part of it should be right. ..." The little brother knew as soon as he looked at me that I should have thought of something, but it's not convenient to say... I continued: "In short, judging from the known clues, it cannot be judged whether the third uncle is really responsible for understanding the serial. "Brother Wu Xie, don't think so wildly." She patted him very seriously and sincerely.

Wu Xie looked at me blankly, but his mood became much more relaxed.

When the fat man heard this, he seemed to have an epiphany, and made an extremely unreliable hypothesis about ghost possession, which relieved the awkward atmosphere.

Wu Xie said helplessly: "Your explanation is almost as good as Liaozhai. I have lived with my third uncle for more than [-] years, and I have never felt that he looked like a woman. Yours does not count."

The fat man said: "I didn't say that this ghost must be a woman. This psychosis can be divided into periods of onset and non-attack. Maybe your third uncle is normal in front of others, but behind the scenes he is wearing rouge and doing embroidery. ." The fat man said and raised his orchid fingers.

Wu Xie looked at the fat man and thought it was funny and said, "You think Dongfang Bubai is still doing embroidery? It doesn't make sense to you."

After hearing what the fat man said, the little brother said, "No, he said this. I think it is indeed possible. This kind of thing did happen in the ancient tomb."

I muttered: "You are not talking about hallucinations, poisoning, insanity, and schizophrenia. Why do you say it is so complicated? But what is going on, we have to wait until we get out, right?"

The fat man looked at his watch and said, "What the girl said is, let's not hold the congress here. If we starve to death here, it will be a big loss."

When the fat man said this, he scratched his back and asked, "Xiao Wu, have you ever felt that after entering this ancient tomb, you started to feel very itchy?"
