Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 110 Desperate
I know in my heart that my character is definitely not good, but why didn't my soul be kept on the Soul Keeping Bridge, it really made me feel uncomfortable.After Gu Wenmin finished speaking, Lu Su nodded slightly. He sat on the spot, holding a knife in one hand and thrusting it into the ground. He stared at the deep underground water with his dark eyes, and said, "It seems that there is no bridge in the water, but ghosts in the bridge are haunting it." , Miss Gu, you said earlier that you saw a figure in the water, was it Ren Ling?"

A reminiscence look appeared on Gu Wenmin's face, and after a while, he shook his head slightly, and said with certainty: "No, that person seems to be a bit hunched and short in stature, not Ren Ling."

Tofu said: "Are there other ghosts down here? Oh my god, is this a ghost lake? I knew that the old guy surnamed Zhao had no good intentions. This mushroom is too difficult to dig. Others have to work hard to dig mushrooms, but we dig mushrooms to death." He has always been outspoken, so he turned his head to ask Lu Su, looked him up and down, and said, "Brother Lu, let's forget about it, because we need talents to dig This mushroom. You are not an ordinary person, why do you work for old man Zhao?"

Lu Su just smiled and didn't answer, but brought the topic to the past, saying that it's not an option to just stay like this, and he still wants to dig into the water.

I always have some taboos about the Liuhun Bridge in my heart, and I can't help but think of the saying that dying people are not harmed. I have never liked to be beaten passively, and I would not entrust my safety to others. I wanted to go down to explore the bottom of the water. However, regardless of the shoulder injury, he took a movable steel rod and decided to go into the water together.

Seeing this, Feng Guishou said, "I'll go too, and take advantage of brother Lu's great skills to remove the things in the Liuhun bridge, and I will take revenge for me." into the water.

This underground water is not like the torrents of the underground river, but calm and waveless, deep and bottomless, just like a pool of stagnant water.After entering the water, I feel the cold air, not feeling like summer at all, just like falling into cold water in winter.The three of us got together and did not disperse. We swam towards the bottom of the water. The shadow of the bridge of souls left in the water soon appeared in our sight. Want to see what's going on.

We went downstream for a while, but we couldn't reach the jade bridge at all. Feng Guishou gestured to us, signaling us to turn around and swim back. Once we turned around, the ghost bridge would emerge by itself.Before we entered the water, we had already discussed the countermeasures, and when the ghost bridge appeared and the things inside came out, Lu Su would clear it up.

As soon as Feng Guishou gestured, we all turned around as agreed in advance. I was still suspicious at first, but after turning around, sure enough, the ankle was immediately grabbed by a cold hand.If I hadn't been mentally prepared, I'm afraid I would have been shocked and choked on water, and ended up in the same end as Tofu.

As soon as the thing grabbed its feet, the three of us looked down together, and we saw the Liuhun Bridge under our feet, and the outline of a human face was reflected in the thin and transparent Liuhun Bridge, just like the other side of the bridge. It was like a person was hiding on one side, but on both sides of the bridge, three hands stretched out, each grabbed one of our legs, and pulled us down.

That situation was exactly the same as what Gu Wenmin described on the Jade Bridge.

I took a closer look at the blurred face, and the outline was indeed somewhat similar to Ren Ling.It pulled the three of us, but we didn't resist, and went down with the force, but we were already prepared in our hands.Feng Gui and I carried the movable steel pipe in our hands, and Lu Su carried the Ghost Crying Knife in his hand. As long as the things in the bridge dare to do mischief, we can guarantee that it can't even do ghosts.

That thing was very powerful, and when we pulled it down, we slid down several meters and passed through the non-existent 'Liuhun Bridge', while Lu Su had already slashed at the thing hiding behind the bridge.I guessed that the ghost was invisible, and with a knife, it might disappear without a trace just like in the movie.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Su swung his saber to slash, what he slashed was something tangible.

That thing was hiding behind the jade bridge, covered in jet black, at first glance it looked like a short dwarf, but it had four arms on each side of its body, like a humanoid centipede.Lu Su slashed down with his knife, and happened to hit one of his hands. The ghost crying knife was so sharp, and the weird arm broke in two immediately.

Only then did I realize that the figure in the water that Gu Wenmin saw at that time was actually this thing.The person pulling the leg under the jade bridge is probably not some evil spirit, but this kind of monster in the water.

That thing's arm was broken, and it hurt for a while, and at the same time, it let go of Feng Jiangyi's and me's hands, and turned its head around suddenly, which gave us a big jump in an instant.

Not only does it resemble a human body, but even its face is a standard human face, except that it has no nose, only two small holes in the nose, and a pair of extremely large eyes, which occupy half of the face. There is also a layer of iris on the eyeball.I know it's a kind of water-repellent membrane, it's on the crocodile's eyes.

As soon as the thing turned its head, the bulging iris eyes startled us, before we noticed its mouth.Very large, with sharp teeth growing inside.Before we could recover, he turned around and bit us.We were prepared to catch ghosts, but Ruan Zongzi didn't catch them, but provoked such a fierce creature, and immediately scattered in shock.

That thing missed a single hit, and didn't like to fight, it immediately went into the deep water, and as it swam, the bridge of staying in the water slowly disappeared.

I thought of the outline of that thing's face just now, and I had a horrible guess in my heart.

Although the facial features of that thing have been completely out of human, but for some reason, I always feel that the shape of that face is very similar to that of Ren Ling.This is definitely not my illusion, because Feng Guishou and Tofu had the same opinion before.

Could it be that the souls of people killed by the Liuhun Bridge will turn into such monsters after death?

Just thinking about it, I also feel a little disgusted, I know that we have to get into the bottom of the water, if this thing is always following, it will only increase the danger, not only will it cause endless troubles, but I will not be afraid immediately, my heart is hard, and the blood rushes , Gritting his teeth and holding his breath, he chased down.The two of Lu Su probably had the same idea, and immediately followed downstream.

But not long after swimming, I felt that my hands and feet were a little weak, and the little oxygen left in my lungs was almost spewed out in shock.

The thing we were chasing had stopped swimming, but turned its strange body and faced us directly under the water, its seven black arms stretching its teeth and claws with the current.

And under it, there are countless monsters with eight hands lying on their stomachs, crowded together, like shells sleeping at the bottom of the water.However, as we approached, those things opened their eyes in unison. Under the illumination of the waterproof headlights, countless huge eyes with irises stared at us eeriely.

Even in the water, I heard a sound, sort of like a donkey braying.As we all know, the propagation of sound in water is relatively short, so if this donkey-like sound is placed in a place without water, it will be a lot of noise.As soon as the sound sounded, all the crouching things under the water rushed towards us.

At the beginning, we were very close to that thing because we were chasing it closely. Now that it came out suddenly, we almost didn't have a chance to react, and the three of us were surrounded.In an instant, the surroundings were full of figures of that monster, and the place where the eyes could see was filled with darkness.

The skin of this thing is black, with a kind of very fine scales, shining a layer of faint light in the water. After pounced on it, countless hands stretched out towards us. Once caught by them, the fate will definitely be miserable.

They are all about the same size, the only difference is the outline of the face, some are big, some are small, some have oval faces, and some have big pie faces, just like many people.

Although I don't know if this is a monster turned into by a ghost, I also know that being caught by them is a dead end.Now these things surrounded us in all directions, and we couldn't get out of the trap for a while, so we could only swing the steel pipe in our hands round, and swung left and right to block it to resist.We had no choice but to go into the water holding our breath, and we couldn't bear the toss. After a few strokes, we felt that our lungs were burning like they were going to explode, not to mention the pain.

In this way, the movements of our hands naturally slowed down, Lu Su was also red-eyed, this person is usually gentle and refined, but now his life is at stake, so refined, what a fart, wielding a ghost crying knife When he went out, there would be countless broken limbs. If his admirers Tofu and Gu Wenmin saw him, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

Lu Su was so brave that he opened a bloody road. I thought he would rush out first, but at this moment, he kicked me and Feng Gui on the waist. The two ran first, and he was behind.

There is a chance of survival, how could Feng Guishou be polite, he got out before I ran away.

I originally wanted to run for my life, but when I turned around and saw Lu Su's red eyes, I knew that no matter how powerful he was, he would be like a fish thrown on the shore in the water. If I ran again, how could he break out of the encirclement by himself? ?
I, Chen Xuan, think that I am not a good person. I was bullied in the first half of my life and bullied others in the second half of my life, but no matter what, I will repay my kindness.

Lu Su's actions made me look at him differently. When it is safe to be kind to others, it can be a disguise, but when life and death are at stake, you can let others escape first and risk yourself, or you are too scheming and too confident , or a real hero.

Does Lu Su belong to the former or the latter?
These thoughts just passed by in a flash, but Lu Su was already exhausted. After Feng Guishou escaped, the gap he had finally made was immediately blocked by other monsters, and we were in a desperate situation in an instant.
