Archaeological Notes

Chapter 24 Ghosts
To put it bluntly, this brat Cuntou said, the tomb is full of dangers and one should be careful, who told him to work so hard, and he didn't know who he was going to return to.This is good, the few people present never thought that such an accident would happen at all, they looked at Cun Tou with lingering fear, wondering what had gotten into his stomach, at this time he looked terrified, straightening his legs Stamping vigorously, the whole body was convulsed and convulsed.

The hole that was pried out by Cuntou with brute force, at this moment, for some reason, black mist is blowing out, the water looks like ink, and the sarcophagus seems to be a huge ink fountain, constantly gushing out out.Seeing this, several people hurriedly moved away from the black hair coffin. I carefully put the inch head behind me, and found that he seemed to be dying.His face was green, his lips were tightly closed, and his eyes were about to tear apart. Even I helped pick up the respirator and couldn't stuff it into his mouth.In a hurry, he gestured to Dabeitou, and he nodded, motioning for me to lift the short head out of the water, but he himself had no intention of leaving.

In contrast, Cuntou was much more troublesome than Brother Liu Mao just now. He struggled all the way in the process of going up, and it took me all my strength to lift him to the edge of the pool.Fortunately, brother Liu Maodi had recovered at this time, seeing me like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the two of them lifted the bunny head to the side of the fire with all their strength, and found that the boy's situation was not optimistic.

"He was also entangled by the stone statue's tongue?" Liu Maodi asked while pulling off the clothes of the inch head.

I looked to the opposite side and found that the old woman was dozing there, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and I didn't bother to ask her to come over to help.I could only shake my head irritably, and said to Liu Maodi: "No, when we were prying that sarcophagus underwater, an unknown object swam out of it and went into his stomach."

I don't have time to chat with him right now. I know the basic countermeasures for drowning in the wild, so I asked Liu Maodi to get out of the way.Cun Tou must have drank a lot of water underneath, and the most important thing is to drain it. I bent one leg and lay Cun Tou on my thigh to pour out the water. I worked for a while, but it didn’t improve. Very little water came out.

I was a little anxious, and turned the inch head over and lay flat on the ground. I found that his face was blue and swollen, and his conjunctiva was congested and swollen, which was surprisingly scary.And the gas is weak and the gossamer is extremely weak, and from time to time spit out some butter-like things from the mouth, which are sticky and smelly.Looking at the situation, I guess I didn't drink much water, and it was all due to the things in my stomach.Then I tore off the vest that was tight-fitting and exposed his chest so that he could breathe smoothly. I lightly pressed his abdomen with my fingers, and found that there seemed to be a mass of things wriggling inside, and I could actually see a body through the belly. The little red dot was inside his stomach.

Cun Tou is relatively thin in the team. He is not strong, but his strength is by no means inferior to mine.To show off just now, she just wanted to have a long face, but she didn't want to end up like this.Liu Maodi looked at the side for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "No, he seems to have eaten that thing."

I immediately turned to look at him and asked, "Do you know what the worm in his stomach is?"

He nodded, but with an unsure expression: "Do you remember that bronze tree in that cellar? The moving head on it, when we went up for the first time, Boss Hu shot one of them with a gun. , Two things crawled out of it, I don’t know what they are, they feel like intestines. You have also seen that the worm has small red dots on its head, and it likes to live in the human cranial cavity, one male and one female.”

I didn't believe it: "Impossible, that thing is a thing on dry land, how could it run into the water."

Now it was time to ask Liu Maodi, he scratched the back of his head, "They may have completed mating in the water, and then the female insects brought the eggs back to the shore to hatch at room temperature, this is a natural thing, who knows. "

I didn't pay much attention to what I said to him. Since I couldn't figure out what kind of bug got into the belly of the inch head, I can only bless the boy to let the thing endure and then pull it out.To be honest, the current situation of Cun Tou is worrisome. Ever since I brought him ashore just now, he has been in a state of confusion and can only talk nonsense in a daze.

I didn't know what to do for a while, and I was discussing with Liu Maodi, when there was another movement from the bottom of the water pool, accompanied by a tremor in the whole cave, I looked back in amazement, and saw a flash of light in the water pool, a series of bubbles came out of the water , Immediately afterwards, the entire pond water immediately became turbid.

I thought it was bad, maybe there was another accident in the water, so I gave orders to Liu Maodi and dived to the bottom of the pool again.

There were sand grains and other flocculent objects floating everywhere at the bottom of the pool, and the visibility was extremely low. I swam towards the light source. Fortunately, I found that the four people in Dabeitou were safe and sound.I gestured to him and asked him what happened, but he pointed behind my back, motioning for me to look.

As soon as I turned around, I realized that the original sarcophagus had disappeared, it was scattered in pieces, and there were stones everywhere at the bottom of the pool.Where the coffin was originally placed, a stone pier appeared and was slowly rising upwards.It took me a while to realize that Dabeitou couldn't open the coffin, and he was terrified of what happened just now, so he just kept going and detonated the sarcophagus with a detonator.

However, Dabeitou's attention was not on the bombed sarcophagus at this time, but turned his back to the other side, motionless.I followed the direction in which he turned the miner's lamp, and only then realized that the white jade door that we had been pondering for a long time had been slowly opened at some point. It was dark, revealing a square square waterway.

It is obviously unwise to go in so hastily. Several people floated into the pool and went ashore to discuss the next step.Da Beitou looked at Buntou, he seemed to be a little hesitant. When I saw his expression, I knew that maybe he wanted to leave Buntou alone here regardless of his life or death.He immediately clarified his thoughts, "He was only injured a little, but he didn't die. It's too inhuman for you to let him fend for himself like this?"

The big back gave me a contemptuous look, as if he was a bit contemptuous. In the eyes of a person like him, interests are already above all else, and he doesn't care about other people's life or death.Then he said indifferently: "It's just a burden to bring."

Now the other guys quit, and a guy with yellow hair turned his back and said, "Brother Qian, this guy with an inch head is a bit reckless in his actions, but he can't be left here, as a brother, it's a good job." Those who carry him must also carry him out."

The other two fellows also echoed, and they both expressed that they would wear the inch head. Seeing this, the big back head had no choice but to nod in agreement.We discarded the important and kept the light, and discarded some useless equipment. Although we threw away some along the way, we still brought a lot here.I even saw a metal detector in a huge travel bag, which was also discarded. Even the bag used to hold food and clothes is waterproof. It can be seen that the big-backed head came prepared this time and was armed. To the teeth.

After preparing, the task was assigned.I, Brother Liu Mao, Huang Mao and a back equipment named Slim.The other one is strong and strong and is called Niu Er, who is responsible for backing his head.As for the old woman, the big back seemed troublesome, so I went to discuss it with her, but during the conversation, she was too polite to her, and she was respectful to the dead old woman, nodding from time to time and looking at me coldly, I don't know what I was doing Famous.

The final decision was to let the old woman stay here for support.Several people went down into the pool one by one with their equipment on their backs. Although they were carrying big bags, they didn't feel heavy in the water except for a little inconvenience in their movements.The seven of them sank down to the door of the white marble room, and drove the miner's lamp in with their backs. It was pitch black and bottomless, with no end in sight.

Seven people entered in a file, entered the waterway, and began to swim to the depths.I noticed that the water channel stretched forward in a square shape, with bricks on both sides, very regular, with black water hairs all over it, which made people feel uncomfortable.Holding a waterproof miner's lamp with his back on his back, he led the way, and the other six followed him. They didn't know how far they swam, but felt that the waterway was longer than expected.

Swimming in the water is not as easy as walking on the ground. The arms keep sliding, and the feet have to push hard to move forward.It was dark all around, and the heart could only feel an uncontrollable beating. The light on the back of the head became a guiding light. Our eyes were fixed on the light area, for fear that if we were not careful, we would lose sight.Thinking wildly in his head, he only knew to follow them mechanically, and he didn't know how long he had been here, but the big backed head that bore the brunt suddenly stopped, and his whole body stood up.

As soon as he stopped, those behind us were also on standby. Everyone in the water was wearing a waterproof mask and couldn't see the facial expressions clearly.Dabeitou seemed a little puzzled, and swept the miner's lamp to the water channel ahead, but he still couldn't see the end, it was as dark as a bottomless pit.

The stagnation of Dabeitou didn't last long, he hesitated for a while, and then continued to swim forward.In the water, due to the water pressure, I already felt that my chest was tight and panicked, and coupled with the weird atmosphere around the waterway, I felt more and more breathless.I looked at the barometer of the oxygen tank again, and I was very worried. When I was at the bottom of the pool, I had used up more than half of it. I was better because I went ashore twice. Except for Liu Maodi who had the most oxygen, I carried my head on the back of those guys. The oxygen in the bottle may have run out.And this damn waterway seems to be endless. We have been swimming for more than half an hour, but there is still no sign of the end.

After swimming forward without thinking for more than 20 minutes, Dabeitou stopped again and looked at us with doubts. I realized in an instant that things happened that no one could predict. situation.At the beginning of the operation, we didn't know the depth of this waterway at all, so we made a hasty decision and rushed in rashly, which led to a dilemma.

For this journey, we swam for nearly an hour. Even if we swam ten meters in one minute, the length would be five to six hundred meters at this moment.What is the concept of a waterway that is 1 meters long but still not finished?I was so excited that I didn't dare to imagine, could it be 600 meters?But what is the purpose of the owner of the tomb to build such a long waterway?I think there must be a reason for all this fuss.

It can be said that we are now in a difficult situation, and there is no way forward or backward, and the big back has obviously realized this.However, now our oxygen is difficult to support us to return to the original point and keep moving forward. If we can’t swim to the end, the final result will be terrible. We will be doomed to drown in this waterway .

Several people looked at me and I looked at you in the water, they were all stunned, and seemed to gradually realize the seriousness of the situation.After froze for a few seconds, Dabeitou suddenly turned around, and the stroke was surprisingly large. I saw him glide forward for several meters like a fish.Only then did those of us react, struggling to die, and scrambling to swim towards the front of the waterway. Time is life, and we must swim out of this damned waterway before the oxygen runs out.

The whole person was in a state of almost madness, his head was blank, and he just wanted to swim forward desperately.The guys with big backs are all good players, and even Niu Er is not behind with his back. This made Liu Maodi and I complain a lot. In order to barely keep up.

But the hysterical "running" in the water was exhausted after all. This time they only swam for more than ten minutes, and the few people stopped moving forward.I could vaguely feel that the gas I inhaled from the oxygen cylinder had gradually become cloudy, and my heart sank. This already indicated that we had reached the worst point.

But the waterway is still "endless". Looking forward, my heart immediately turned cold. In my estimation, we have almost reached 1000 meters in the middle of this waterway, but why we still can't see the end? This is beyond common sense Let's explain.The seven people formed a circle in the water, gesticulating with their teeth and claws, discussing anxiously what to do.

Dabeitou is worthy of being a leader, and he has the ability to not be surprised when he encounters changes. We can only understand half of his gestures, and we don't understand what he means, so he simply started to draw on his body, writing: "What do you think?"

When I saw him asking this question, it wasn't hard to guess that he had lost his mind and was asking for our opinions.This waterway feels like we will never see the end until we die. We have been swimming for so long, and it should end no matter what.So there is only one possibility, that is, I think we may have entered an endless loop.

So I drew a circle on the clothes to show that our waterway may have entered a circular waterway unknowingly without paying attention when we came in. The range is limited, and no one can guarantee that it will be one-shot to the end.We're already going around in circles without anyone knowing it, like a donkey pulling a mill, we just don't know it.

What I said in this way is nothing more than based on the basis of physics, because I always subconsciously think that the mechanism in the ancient tomb is at work.But regardless of whether my rhetoric is reasonable or not, even so, it is urgent to find a way to escape the birth of a genius, and it is tantamount to not saying it.I saw Huang Mao, Thin Man, and Niu Ersan guys looking at each other, and I don't know if they understand what I mean.On the other hand, Liu Maodi, who was on the side, nudged me with his elbow. When I looked at him, I saw that he also imitated me and Dabeitou, drawing words on his chest.

He may not have read many books. I saw him struggling to scratch these two words for a long time before I suddenly understood what he wanted to express.It was these two words that made the atmosphere present feel as if it had fallen into a cellar of ice for an instant, and it was extremely cold.Those were two words that no one dared to think about—"There is a ghost!"

This is the first time I went down to the ancient tomb with this group of people to fight. I heard grandma tell the story of the tomb robbers touching gold and turning over the mountain.For some unexplainable strange phenomena, especially when people are on the verge of life and death, some very tricky and weird ideas will always pop up in their minds.I remember that there is a saying called "ghosts lost their way", which refers to people who are traveling at night, if a ghost touches the back of their head, they will unconsciously wander around a deserted tomb, but they don't know it, and the hallucinations will continue until the first day. The next day, the family members went to find him, but he was still walking around.

As soon as these two words were mentioned, I seemed to see the faces of several people change. I wondered if they were all confused by ghosts all the way here?Although I didn't quite believe it in my heart, I tried to think about it in my mind. I felt that I was about to be squeezed into a ball, and I was terrified. All the signs showed that we really seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. .

I don't know what I was thinking, but at this moment, I felt that Liu Maodi touched me, and I got a little angry.I thought to myself that you are endless, I didn't expect this field just now, you thought the atmosphere was not strong enough, and you came to shake the morale of the army again?I ignored him, but he directly pulled my clothes vigorously. I frowned and looked at him, only to see him look behind me with a surprised expression.

I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe out, I felt chilly, and I realized that something was wrong with my big back, so I slammed the lamp towards me.I saw my shadow printed on the wall at the side, and a strange extra black shadow lying heavily on my back.
