Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 282

I ignored Zhong Gong's weird smile, turned on the flashlight, and followed the direction of his fingers.There are many broken stones in this place, probably peeled off from the mountain rocks, and it is uneven when people step on it.Between the gaps in the stones, half a person's height of weeds grew. It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the tips of the grass turned yellow. In the night, only the chirping of insects and occasionally birds were heard, making it look very bleak.

I walked about thirty steps, and thought to myself: This distance is almost the same, why haven't I seen Xiao Jing's shadow yet?In the dark, I called her name, but no one answered.

At this moment, something suddenly swam out of the grass, and I took a closer look, but it was a fat bug as thick as a thumb, yellow in color, wriggling on the stone, and I saw it suddenly in the middle of the night. Not to mention how disgusting it is.I thought to myself, what kind of insects are so fat, just like the enlarged version of maggots, I hurriedly prepared to spare the way, but after a few observations, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

This is not an ordinary worm, this is a corpse worm. The worm that grows after the human body rots is similar to the insect repellent, but it is generally fatter. Looking at the body of the worm, it is already an old worm that has grown for many days.

My heart skipped a beat, and I said to myself: Is there a dead body near here?
Corpse worms are not only found when the human body rots, they also appear when animals rot. Generally speaking, if there are any rotten corpses, there must be a strong corpse smell around them, but I am standing here right now, trying my best to get rid of them. Smell, where is the smell.

Just when I was wondering, I suddenly heard a plop not far ahead, like the sound of something falling into the water.I remember that there is a continuous flow of water behind this rock. Could it be that something fell into the water?I couldn't help but head towards the water source, and within a few steps, the clear and shallow running water appeared in my sight.Under the hazy moonlight, I saw a person with long hair hanging loose in the water playing in the water. Although his back was facing me, but at this moment and here, with that exquisite curve, you don't need to guess, who is it not Xiao Jing?

I frowned, and said to myself that this is not summer, the water is already cold at this moment, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, I don’t sleep in the middle of the night, so I came here to take a bath?That's not right, hasn't she washed it during the day?Are you not afraid of catching a cold?Being sick in this place is not a good thing.We have been together before, and we have had sex with each other long ago, so we don't feel embarrassed, how do you say that?I was not afraid of the crooked shadow, I opened my mouth, and I was about to tell Xiao Jing to go ashore quickly, so as not to catch a cold, but before I could say anything, Xiao Jing made a very strange move.

She submerged her upper body into the water, and as if being pulled by something, she threw herself into the water, but she didn't move at all.

I was startled, and felt more and more wrong. It was already wrong enough to come out to take a cold shower at night, why did I go into the water now?I hurried out, and when I got to the water's edge a few times, I saw the clear stream. Under the light, people could look straight to the end. Under the water, a naked person was lying on the bottom of the water, with his back to the sky and his face to the sky. The pebbles under the water and the long hair that has been scalded into wine red are sinking and floating in the water. The scene is not to mention how weird.

I exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Jing!" I was about to step into the water and was about to quickly pick her up, but at this moment, Xiao Jing who was under the water suddenly turned her head as if responding to me.

The moment I turned my head, I was stunned, because it was not Xiao Jing's face, but a pale and pale face of a strange woman, as if smeared with hoarfrost, but a pair of eyeballs rolled up, and the black pain almost There is only a small dot the size of a mung bean, but Xiao Jing's voice said, "Why are you here? You found out."

Her voice was like a broken bellows, as if her throat was rotten and she couldn't hold her breath, her voice was intermittent.I was stunned, and I even wondered if I was dreaming. I saw my ex-girlfriend suddenly turn into such a ghost in the middle of the night. Time was too scared to even speak.

Fortunately, I have always been more courageous than ordinary people. When I saw the female ghost in the water walking towards me, I couldn't care less about why Xiao Jing became a female ghost. I didn't have any weapons at hand at the moment, so I didn't say anything , ran away.The moment I turned my head, I felt a rotten wind blowing from behind me. The smell was almost disgusting. The exposed skin was stuck to something wet.

Looking sideways, it was wet red hair.

I just felt the cold coming from behind me, my legs were trembling, I didn't dare to look any more, I struggled hard, but there was something powerful behind me, and a voice like a broken bellows said in my ear: "You found me I'm sorry, I have to..." I didn't know what she was going to say next, because she didn't finish what she said, I just felt a chill on the back of my neck, followed by a buzzing in my brain, there was such a Instantly lost consciousness.

In the dark, I just felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if I was about to suffocate.

Am I going to be suffocated like this?I struggled to inhale air, and after a while, my eyes opened, and a beam of dazzling sunlight suddenly pierced into my eyeballs.

The sun, the cave, and the tofu next to me pinching my nose.

He let go of his hand suddenly, and said with a smile: "What are you dreaming about, you can't wake up no matter how much you scream, haha, I have no choice but to use this trick."

dream?

Am I dreaming?
I felt my consciousness was in a trance. I looked around. Zhuan Rui and the others were all busy with their own affairs. At this moment, the sky was bright, and the watch showed that it was ten o'clock in the morning.The big beauty Gu on the side was ready to eat, I glanced around and asked, "Where's Xiao Jing?"

Tofu pursed his lips, pointed to the cave not far away, and said, "I'm putting on makeup." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jing came back. Although she was wearing a loose outdoor suit, her delicate makeup was still so beautiful. When she saw me, His eyes immediately smiled into crescent moons and stuck them up, asking: "Xuanxuan, is it pretty?"

Originally, I wanted to distance myself from Xiao Jing, but now my mind was full of the scene of myself being thrown down by a female ghost, my mind was in a trance, and I subconsciously replied: "Pretty."

Xiao Jing smiled, pointed to her red lips, and said, "Strawberry flavored, kiss one." As she spoke, she proudly looked at Gu Wenmin who was cooking mushroom soup by a bonfire not far away.I was teased by her, and my erratic mind came back to my senses. I sniffed subconsciously, and the tip of my nose smelled the unique fragrance of cosmetics.

The person in front of me is alive and there is no such thing as a female ghost.

Is it really a dream?How could I have such a weird dream?I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered what Jie'an said in his fortune-telling: Xiao Jing should have died two months ago.My heart skipped a beat, and I thought of the old corpse worm I saw last night. I only felt throbbing in my temples. After sleeping all night, I didn't feel better, but even more tired.

At this time, Gu Wenmin greeted everyone to eat, and I was out of shape during the whole process. Even though I reminded myself in my heart not to think about that dream again, my brain was not under my control at all, and I recalled that dream over and over again as if it had happened in real life. In the scene, Jie'an's injury has healed a lot after two days of cultivation, and he is already able to move around, so we decided to leave after eating.

In the process of packing up the equipment, I called Zhong Gong aside and asked, "Why didn't you ask me to wake up for the night?"

When Zhong Gong heard this, he gave me a strange look, and said, "You keep watch for the first half of the night, but I can keep watch for the second half of the night."

I was stunned, thinking that when I was keeping watch at night, wasn't it arranged for me to keep watch for the rest of the night?Is there something wrong with my memory?I couldn't help asking: "Did I go to see Xiao Jing last night?" Zhong Gong was amused when he heard this, and a trace of teasing appeared on his serious face, and said: "I don't know if you went to see her secretly at night. "

Immediately afterwards, he said: "Brother Chen, pay attention to restraint. Alright, let's go." Everyone packed their bags, and under the leadership of Jie An, they headed towards the east of the entire ring mountain. It is said that Grandpa and others were there The robbery hole was left, and because the robbery hole was so big, there are still traces to this day.

Perhaps because of the dream last night, it was difficult for me to face Xiao Jing today, and I always felt a very weird feeling.Tofu saw something was wrong, lowered his voice and asked me what happened.This matter can't be explained clearly in a few words, I looked at Xiao Jing who had been pestering me all the time, and said to Tofu, "Try to lure her away, I have something to do."

Tofu looked at my dignified expression and knew that something had happened, so he made an OK gesture calmly. When he got serious, he was still reliable.Immediately afterwards, Tofu walked over to Xiao Jing, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Hi, beauty."

Xiao Jing glanced at him, the corners of her raised eyes showed contempt, and she said, "What are you doing? Don't move, stay away from me."

Tofu dimpled with a smile, and said, "I just want to remind you that your sponge is not properly padded, one is big and the other is small." Xiao Jing immediately looked down when she heard this, and then realized that she had been cheated, and she was so angry that she wanted to beat Tofu, Tofu While running and hiding, he led Xiao Jing away in a moment.

I was almost choked to death by my own saliva, who knew that Tofu would come up with such a bad move, but now is not the time to educate him, and before Xiao Jing could stick to him, I walked up to Jie An and said, "You Is what the fortune-telling said last time true or did you fool us?" Jie An immediately turned into a god-like face when he heard the word fortune-telling, and said inscrutablely: "This is a skill passed down from our ancestors. The iron mouth is broken."

I heard his tone was quite loud, so I couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then didn't you figure out that this time you will have a bad start and be restrained by us?"
