Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 256
Tofu stretched his neck to look at him. As soon as I closed the door, he tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong? Are your hands cramped?" I felt my throat was a little dry, so I winked at Tofu and Zhuanrui, and said, "The door There's a pair of feet in the back."

Hearing this, everyone changed their expressions, and even Zhuan Rui, who had always been calm, couldn't help changing his face, and said in a deep voice, "What else is there besides feet?"

I thought back to the scene just now, and I only felt lingering fear. Anyone who opened the door and saw a pair of feet hanging in the air, probably couldn't calm down.Those feet came up to about my waist, and I couldn't see what was above them, but I figured that what was behind the door might be the same as what we saw behind the canvas.

For a while, everyone didn't dare to act rashly, but blocking the door like this was not an option. I made up my mind and signaled everyone to take out their weapons. No matter what it was, it was impossible to hide. To find out the truth of the matter, only Move forward.

Immediately afterwards, I pushed the door violently, the vermilion wooden door creaked, and suddenly opened wide, dust was flying all of a sudden, everyone had guns and knives in their hands, and Tofu even copied it with a shovel He looked like he was ready to smash someone at any time, but when the door was pushed open, everyone was stunned, because behind the door was empty, there was only a dark corridor, and there were no feet.

Zhuan Rui raised his eyebrows, half of his disfigured face was facing me, and his protruding eyeballs looked terrible, and he said, "What's the matter?" I would rather he used the other half of his face to face me, because his half The face, in this environment, is even more frightening, and it's really hard to get used to.

Tofu rubbed his head and said, "Old Chen, are you too nervous, you're getting confused."

My eyesight was very good, and after thinking back on the scene just now, it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake, so I signaled everyone to gather the light sources in one place, and carefully observed the corridor behind the door.On one side of this corridor is a forest garden, and on the other side is a side hall with a closed gate. The flowers and plants in the forest garden are growing wildly, showing their teeth and claws under the light. Thinking that these flowers and plants have been buried in the swamp many years ago, now Appearing in front of our eyes in such a form again, it feels extremely strange.

Gu Wenmin took a few glances and said, "That thing must have entangled us, everyone should be careful."

Xiao Jing said: "I don't know what the purpose of building such a large building is. Tell me, where does this corridor lead to?"

Tofu rolled his eyes, and wanted to scare her again, and said, "It is said that it was built in imitation of the Palace of the Underworld, so the corridors and rooms here are all for ghosts in the underworld to come and go. Going to hell." Zhuanji laughed loudly when he heard the words, pointed to the tofu and said, "Take people as three-year-old children, do you think they are as easy to be fooled as you?"

Well, within a few days, Zhuan Ji also understood the essence of tofu.His words hit Tofu very hard, and Tofu didn't achieve his goal, so he was very depressed. Waving the flashlight, he walked into the corridor first, and everyone filed in. Said: "Chen Xuan, come and see."

He pointed to the closed wooden door and seemed to have found something.

I walked in front of him, just looking around, worried that the hidden thing would suddenly appear, so I was a little distracted, and now I looked in the direction of Zhuanrui's finger, and I couldn't help being stunned, because the side hall wooden door with a fork.

This cross looks like it was drawn out with something like a dagger. Under the fork, there is a weird symbol, which looks a bit like a deformed character, a white character, a Japanese character, and a direction character.

What does it mean?
Everyone came together, and Zhuanji said, "It seems that someone left a mark." He knew about me and asked me, "Brother Chen, is there a mark left by Mr. Chen and his party?"

I stared at the deformed character and said, "It's possible, this character looks like a white character." When I invited my grandfather to come here, isn't there a white character at the place where I signed it?
Gu Wenmin frowned slightly, and said, "What does this fork mean?"

Tofu touched his chin and said: "The cross means wrong. Could this mark tell us that there is no need for Mr. Chen and the others to go in this side hall?" Spectrum, after much deliberation, the simplest understanding seems to be like this.

Xiao Jing said: "Since it's wrong, then we don't need to go in, right?" I thought for a while, and said to myself: Since there are imprints left by grandpa and his party on this door, they must have gone in, maybe there is something left behind Clues, according to their whereabouts, they may be able to find out the purpose of Grandpa's trip.As soon as these thoughts changed, I decided to go in and take a look, so I said to Xiao Jing: "If you are afraid, stay outside, and I will go in and take a look."

Zhuan Rui and the others were even more unafraid of things, and they thought of exactly the same thing as me. Immediately, everyone was about to push the door and enter. , everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.It's normal for the door to lock from the outside, but not from the inside.

If you want to lock it from the inside, there must be someone inside. Could it be that there is someone behind this wooden door?

This door is not as tight as the current anti-theft door. There is a small slit in the middle. Thinking of this, I couldn't help bringing the light closer to the slit, and put my eyes on it to look inside.At a glance, I immediately met a yellow turbid eyeball, which was also stuck to the crack of the door, staring at me, and then the eyeball turned for a while.

My hands trembled in fright, and the flashlight fell to the ground with a snap, and I was quite frightened.Originally, I wanted to take a peek inside to see what was inside, but when I took a look, I found that there were also people peeping at us inside, and it was not certain whether the things inside were people or ghosts, let alone the thrilling feeling .

My big reaction made everyone baffled. Tofu immediately became nervous and said, "Old Chen, aren't you not afraid of the sky and the earth? What did you see? You were so frightened." I swallowed and said: "There's someone inside... Maybe it's a ghost, it, it's looking at us through the crack of the door."

When Xiao Jing heard this, she yelled in fright, and hurried away from the crack of the door, and hid behind me in fright.Tofu's complexion changed, and he said, "Aside from us, there is no living person in this place. It must be a zongzi... No, how could a zongzi spy on us?" Zhuanrui stared at the wooden door, and said sinisterly "It's a human or a ghost, you'll know if you go in and have a look." After saying that, he gave Zhong Gong and Zhuan Ji a wink, they understood, and immediately began to knock on the door.

Of course, Tofu and I couldn't be idle, we were scared, but we were not too scared, so we immediately followed the door.

Under the impact of several of our big men, the wooden door opened with a bang. Gu Wenmin had already raised the gun, the gun was loaded, and fired first without saying a word. After bumping away, the back was pitch black, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing.

Xiao Jing stood at the door and looked around. She didn't see anything scary, so she walked into the hall cautiously and said, "Where is the thing that peeped at us?"

Tofu looked around with a flashlight, and finally his eyes rested on me, and said, "Old Chen, did you see it right?"

I had a sudden feeling in my heart that something was wrong. The first time I opened the door, I found a pair of feet behind it, but there was nothing when I opened it; the second time it was an eye, and there was still nothing after I opened it; That thing came here specifically to scare me?I have no grievances or enmities with it, so why does it compete with me?
Thinking of this, I ignored Tofu's words and everyone's doubtful eyes, turned the light of the flashlight to the maximum, and began to observe this side hall.There was nothing in the center of the side hall, and many gloomy murals were painted on the surrounding walls. At first glance, it was a picture of a group of ghosts coming out of their nests.Those vivid ghosts, as if they were about to jump out of the wall, made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.

At this moment, at the end of the light, a little reflection suddenly appeared, and the golden light flashed past, as if there was something in the darkness.I couldn't help speeding up my steps to look up, and I was shocked because there was a person sitting under the pillar in front of me. To be precise, it was a bone with rotten clothes on it. There was a watch on the bone's wrist, which reflected the light just now. , exactly it.

Who is he?
I realized right away that he must be the one who locked the door.

Could it be that there was some danger outside the door that made him hide in this side hall and lock the door tightly?

Looking at the bones in front of me, I saw the bag next to the bones at a glance. The backpack was flat. I squatted in front of the bones and opened the backpack with a dagger. I found that there was no food or water inside, and the only thing left was a rope. , a dagger, some chisels.Obviously, the man died of sleepiness after running out of food.

At this time, the rest of the people also gathered around, observing for a while, Zhuan Rui suddenly turned his head to the door, winked at Zhong Gong, and said, "Take your gun and go to the door to guard." Obviously, the corpse in front of him, Let him realize that there is probably something dangerous hidden outside the gate of the temple, otherwise this person would not be trapped in such a situation.

Zhuanji said thoughtfully: "He still has a dagger in his equipment. If I were him, even if I didn't have a weapon, I would fight. I would never sit still. In my opinion, either this person is too timid, or The situation at that time was very strange.” What kind of strange method it is, we have no way of knowing now.

Zhong Gong stood guard at the gate of the hall with a gun in his hand, which made us feel a little more at ease. He is a rigorous and reliable person. With him guarding the gate, we also have less worries.

At this time, Gu Wenmin squatted down and said softly, "See if there are any clues of identity in his pocket."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but patted my forehead, thinking that I'm still a girl who is careful, and I forgot the most important thing after thinking about it just now.

Who is this person in front of me?
He could be anyone from that team, he could even be my grandpa.Of course, I think my grandfather is not such a cowardly person. Even in a desperate situation, he will fight to the death. I think this kind of character is reflected in Chen Ci and me.

The word sit and wait will not appear in the Chen family.
