It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 142 Stone Coffin (4215 words in total)
Lin Yi opened the yellow rune. The content on it was the same as what he saw in the passage at the beginning, with the characters for killing evil written on it.

"So these mechanisms are actually to deal with some kind of evil thing?" Bian Yi cleaned up the black dog blood on his body, walked over and looked at the runes and suggested: "Maybe it is still useful, put it away."

The remaining three also cleaned up the black dog blood on their bodies, and finally there was no longer the smell that made him want to vomit.

They took apart all the sharp arrows they could find, and some yellow talismans had turned into blood talismans because they were soaked in black dog blood.

There were only five clean ones.

Everyone took one and put it on themselves.

"What should we do now? Should we continue?" Ah Jiu asked.

Ah Qi suddenly said: "Try, if you don't try, will you wait here for the poison to spread?"

"We have to speed up the progress, it has been two hours." Bian Yi said in a deep voice, "So far we have not found any clues about unlocking the stone door, nor have we found anything related to poison."

Lin nodded, "We have no other choice but to continue trying out zodiac signs."

The remaining Bian Yi and Ah Qi also gave their answers.

Could it be that they really couldn't get out?
"The zodiac signs are not right for us either."

"I didn't hear it either." Ah Qi shook his head.

After waiting for two minutes, nothing happened.

Everyone pinned their hopes on the zodiac patterns, but after two rounds of traps, Shimen still didn't react at all.

Ah Jiu couldn't stand the girl crying in front of him, so he quickly said: "Sister, don't cry. We didn't say we were going to leave you. Don't be afraid, we are all here."

Because that woman was right about one thing.

"I'm afraid." Liu Jingjing noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and her voice trembled unconsciously: "I don't want to either. But I can't help but be afraid in my heart. Don't leave me behind." I will really work hard”

When she asked, her heart almost jumped into her throat, and there was a nervousness in her expression.

Liu Jingjing asked in a low voice: "What did you hear?"

Click. Click. Click. Click.
He walked quickly to the altar, where the voice came from.

She didn't tell the truth completely. In fact, she didn't know when she started, but she could always hear a voice talking to her.

Liu Jingjing could sense that this voice seemed to only appear on her body. She felt that this was not a good thing, but she did not dare to tell others.

"What's wrong?" Bian Yi walked over and followed Lin Yi's line of sight. There was nothing in the center of the altar.

It's already 40 o'clock.

Everyone held their breath, looking in all directions and listening in all directions, for fear of another danger happening.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Yi frowned and said.

"Then keep trying." Lin Yi didn't know why, but he always felt that Liu Jingjing's current words and deeds were indescribably awkward, and he glanced at Bian Yi.

The stone wall at the beginning was adjusted again and the last zodiac stone was placed.

It was a strange female voice, sweet but also full of temptation, like honey covered in arsenic.

I know there is a problem but I can't get rid of it.

No matter how hard she tried to block out the sound, it was always there.

If Lin Yi can hear it, does it mean that she is not too bad, at least there is someone to accompany her.

"Really?" Liu Jingjing raised her eyes and looked at the four people in front of her, asking with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"There is no danger, but the stone door is not open." Lin Yi sighed, looking at the closed stone door, he had no idea for a moment.

"But if it's still wrong next time, can we still survive?" Liu Jingjing said fearfully. She has the highest toxicity level among everyone present, and she is also the one with the fastest acceleration.

At the end of her speech, her voice sounded like she was crying.

Ah Jiu's mood also became heavy.

At this time, others noticed Liu Jingjing's abnormality. Her mood seemed to be getting more and more unstable, and she was more easily disturbed than when she was in the ancestral hall.

Click click click.
The familiar sound of the machine sounded again.

"How do you feel?" Lin Yi found that Liu Jingjing's mood was beginning to be unstable again, her eyes were full of fear, and she would tremble with fear at the slightest movement.

Every time it was full of magic, it hit her heart with precision and wrapped around her heart, making it difficult to ignore.

Ah Jiu glanced at Ah Qi beside him uncertainly and asked, "Is this a success?"

Ah Jiu came over and asked curiously: "What did you hear? Nothing!"

Lin Yi nodded affirmatively, "Really, we are grasshoppers on a rope and will not leave you behind."

What is Lin Yi looking at?

She was afraid, she was really afraid, afraid of being abandoned, afraid of dying in this place.

"That's good, that's good." Liu Jingjing whispered in a low voice, a shadow flashed in her eyes, and she patted her chest lightly with her hand unconsciously.

While everyone was silent, Lin Yi's ears moved.

Everyone else present was shocked by Lin Yi's actions.

Bian Yi immediately understood what Lin Yi meant and responded with the same look, saying that he would pay more attention to Liu Jingjing's movements.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi's next words shattered Liu Jingjing's expectations.

"There is a sound down there, like some kind of mechanism is running." Lin Yi replied calmly.

Ah Qi and Ah Jiu were stunned for a moment, then they both ran over and gathered around the altar.

Only Bian Yi, who was always secretly observing Liu Jingjing, noticed the other person's flash of disappointment.

What is she missing?
Click. Click. Click. Click.
The sound continues.

The altar vibrated slightly, as if responding to some mysterious power.

In the center, a stone coffin slowly rose, exuding a cold atmosphere.

The coffin seemed to appear out of thin air. The stone slab was covered with runes drawn with cinnabar. Their curves were entangled, like snake shapes, exuding an ominous and depressing atmosphere.

These runes shone with a faint red light, as if they contained ancient and powerful power.

The stone slab on the surface of the coffin was as cold as ice, exuding waves of chill, making people shiver.

"Why does this thing look a little evil?" Ah Jiu rubbed the goosebumps on her arms that were aroused by the cold.

Lin Yi listened carefully again, and found that the sound of the machine had stopped. He thought that nothing else would come out.

"You'll know what's inside when you open it." He said calmly, reaching out to touch the stone lid of the coffin.

"Hey! Brother, don't be impulsive!" Ah Jiu shouted quickly, "We don't know what's inside yet, what if another ghost comes out?"

Bian Yi also felt that he should make some preparations before driving. He turned to Lin Yi and said: "The runes on the stone slab also have characters to kill evil. I'm afraid the things inside are also evil."

"It's better to be prepared before starting."

"I didn't hear any noise from the coffin, but what you said makes sense."

Lin Yi retracted his action, looked at the other people present and continued: "When you are ready, I will push the coffin."

Five minutes later, Bian Yi gave Lin Yi an OK gesture.

Lin Yi reached out to push the coffin and found that it was very heavy.

He couldn't move it by himself.

"I'll do it." Ah Jiu said and walked to Lin Yi's side. The two of them pushed forward together, barely able to push through a small gap.

I didn't expect the coffin lid to be so heavy. Facing Lin Yi and Ah Jiu's difficulties, Bian Yi and Ah Qi looked at each other and stepped forward to help.

Liu Jingjing is left to be responsible for providing support at any time and dealing with emergencies.

"One, two, one," Ah Jiu shouted loudly, and the four of them worked together according to the slogan, and finally made new progress.

The coffin was slowly opened, revealing the cold interior. A pure white light came out from the gap, illuminating the surroundings, giving people a mysterious and warm feeling.

As the white light disappeared, Lin Yi looked inside the coffin.

He scanned it carefully, only to find that it was empty and empty.

This made Lin Yi very surprised and confused. He began to carefully inspect the inner wall of the coffin, only to find that there was a slight accumulation of dust underneath, but there were no other traces.

"Why is there nothing?" Ah Jiu was dumbfounded looking at the empty coffin.

After working hard for a long time, it turned out to be in vain?
"What kind of crap is this place designed with?" Ah Jiu kicked the stone coffin angrily.

Ah Qi grabbed Ah Jiu, who was still about to kick him, "Are you too busy? It takes a lot of effort to lose your temper with a dead thing."

"I just feel uncomfortable and can't hold it in." Ah Jiu didn't move her feet anymore and could only squat aside with her head hanging down to digest herself.

Liu Jingjing stood aside without saying a word.

After pushing open the coffin and finding that there was nothing inside, she fell into despair again.

Only Lin Yi, Ah Qi and Bian Yi had not given up yet. The three of them looked at the information on the coffin separately.

One carefully checked the runes on the stone slab, and the other squatted down to check the outer wall of the coffin, not sparing every corner.

Lin Yi continued to search inside the coffin, but found nothing except some dust remaining below.

Strange why there are no other traces.

He took two steps back slightly, stretched out his hand to gesture to the coffin twice, then took two steps forward, put his hand in and measured it.

The suspicion in my mind was finally confirmed.

Lin Yi opened his mouth and said: "There is something wrong with this coffin."

"What?" Bian Yi, who was still continuing to study the runes, looked up at Lin Yi. For the first time, he did not understand what the other person said.

Ah Qi also raised his eyes in confusion, "What's the problem? Is it too heavy?"

He remembered again when he was pushing the coffin just now, it felt like what he was pushing was not a coffin lid, but more like a hill.

"Yes, it's just too heavy." Lin nodded and continued to explain: "And don't you think there's something wrong with the size of this coffin?"

General slate coffins usually have standard dimensions, uniform and symmetrical, with a length of no more than 2.5 meters, a width of no more than 1 meter, and a height of no more than 1 meter.

They are usually made of hard stone slabs and provide some weight and stability.

The size requirement is to be large enough to accommodate a human body and provide adequate space for placing the body and other funeral items.

Stone coffins like this are often used in ancient and traditional funeral ceremonies to protect and preserve the remains of the deceased.

They symbolize respect and protection, and carry people's respect and homage to the deceased.

"It is indeed much larger than the ordinary stone coffin." Bian Yi stretched out his hand to measure the height and width, and it was obviously more than half.

Ah Qi was still puzzled, "So what? Even if there's a problem with the size, it doesn't change that it's a coffin."

"But its purpose is not necessarily a coffin." Lin Yi pointedly tapped the dust under the coffin, "This position falls on a person's feet."

"And there are no other traces in this coffin except dust, and there is nothing else stored in it."

"What do you think is the purpose of a coffin that can be moved by a mechanism?"

Bian Yi immediately thought of the answer, "Shipping!"

"It can get us out of here!"

"Yes, yes, it can move, and the presence of dust means that someone has used it before." Ah Qi also reacted, his mind was running rapidly, and he obviously figured out the function. "But how do we drive it?"

"I have an idea. After people enter and close the coffin lid, it will start running automatically."

The guess put forward by Lin Yi was unanimously recognized by both of them.

But who will do the experiment?

The three people stood in front of the coffin, silently thinking about the final choice.

Suddenly I heard Ah Jiu shouting: "Do you feel a lot colder?"

"Ah?" Liu Jingjing glanced at Ah Jiu in a daze, and she subconsciously hugged her arms tightly.

The cold touch on her fingertips suddenly woke her up.

"It's definitely a lot colder."

After Ah Jiu's reminder, the three standing in front of the coffin also noticed the abnormality in the surrounding temperature.

"Perhaps it's because the stone coffin is cold to the touch." Ah Qi thought for a moment and explained.

Indeed, it exudes a chill from the moment it appears.

At the same time, Liu Jingjing glanced out of the corner of her eye and found that the ground under the altar had formed a light layer of blood and frost, and she was quietly climbing up the steps little by little.

"Look below." Her tone was full of fear, and she stepped back unconsciously, leaning against Lin Yi.

Ah Jiu glanced at the location pointed by Liu Jingjing and exclaimed: "It's frozen!"

"We can't stay any longer." Lin Yi reacted quickly and said directly: "There is no time to wait while we are struggling with the experiment. We must do it together."

"Otherwise, we'll all be frozen into popsicles."

Ah Qi asked: "According to the size of the coffin, it can barely fit the five of us, but what should we do when we close the coffin in the end?"

Lin Yi pointed to the coffin lid, "There is a handle inside the coffin lid, which should be used to close the coffin."

"Okay, let's go in together." Ah Qi said and pulled Ah Jiu towards the coffin.

The five people arranged the order, considering that they all had to enter the coffin, and finally confirmed that Ah Jiu would be the first, followed by Ah Qi second, Lin Yi third, followed by Bian Yi, and finally the petite Liu Jingjing at the top.

In this way, even if they are crowded and stacked together, they can withstand it to the greatest extent.

"Are you ready?" Lin Yi asked.

The other four people responded in unison: "Ready."

"Okay, three, two, one pull!"

As Lin Yi shouted, they pulled the coffin lid hard together.

They closed the coffin lid little by little with difficulty.

The next second, a light layer of frost also appeared on the altar.

He slowly climbed up the altar to the stone coffin and soon covered the coffin lid.

Lin Yi felt the slightest chill coming from above.

At this time, he heard the clicking sound again.

The mechanism turns again.

The stone coffin vibrated slightly, as if there was some mysterious energy surging inside.

It began to slowly descend again.
