Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 284 Night Corpse
At the beginning, Xiao Jing once gave me a Buddha in the shape of eating people. It was very weird. At that time, I only thought it was an exotic object, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that Jie'an mentioned it, the statue couldn't help popping up in my mind. The appearance, the slender body, the wide open mouth, and the weird shape are all bizarre.

Could it be... that is the evil god that Xiao Jing enshrined?
Could it be that Xiao Jing is really a dead person already?Under the night, the night wind was blowing. When I thought of this, my hairs stood on end, and I remembered that I was impulsive before, and I kissed Xiao Jing in the hospital in the dark. This scene is intertwined with the female ghost last night. , don't mention how troublesome it is.

Jie'an people are old and refined, seeing my face changed, they understood it, and said: "It seems that you must have remembered something, hehe, I have a piece of advice, there is a saying: dead ghosts don't pester others for no reason, this woman follows her wholeheartedly. You, there must be a reason." I am also confused at the moment, and I must consult a professional person for professional matters, so I asked, "Then how should I deal with her?" After all, Xiao Jing is not harming me now What's more, all these things are just the inferences of Jie An and I. After all, they are mysterious things. How can we insist that Xiao Jing is a ghost?
Jie An heard the words and said, "I have a method to test."

"any solution?"

Jie'an pointed to the dark canopy above our heads, and said, "Yin-yang foxes don't eat living things, they only eat the hearts and livers of dead people and animals. If I whistle to eat, it will pounce on anyone who is dead among us." To whom... but..." The old man always skipped half of his speech, even though I was always calm, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and urged: "But what?"

Jie An said: "I'm afraid you don't dare to take risks, in case she is really a dead person... when the time comes, hehe."

I thought of the scene where the female ghost turned into a ghost, and I also felt chills in my hands, but then I thought about it, if there is really a person who is neither human nor ghost mixed in the team, it is not a problem, who knows what she is doing by my side Purpose?If it's really a ghost, it's time to take advantage of the large number of us and the knowledgeable Jie An in the team, so we can solve it together.If she wasn't a ghost, she would be fine.

Then I was a little worried, what if the old man lied to me?The yin-yang fox has sharp claws and a big mouth, and its fangs are blue. If the old man tells lies, even if Xiao Jing is not a ghost, if he eats up his heart and soul, wouldn't we still be kept in the dark?After thinking about it, I can't let go of the child and can't catch the wolf, looking forward and backward, hesitating, if something happens, it will be too late to regret it, why don't I try, I just need to be more vigilant, if this old man or that yin-yang fox really has any changes, It's better to subdue it as soon as possible.Thinking of this, he nodded to Jie An.

I asked, "Is there any particularity when to act?"

Jie'an counted, looked at the moon in the night sky, and said: "If you enshrine the evil god, the corpse's energy will not come out while the yang energy is not extinguished. After waiting for an hour, the yang energy will be exhausted." , when the yin qi is strong, at that time it is a human being and a corpse, and you can tell the difference." After Jie'an finished speaking, he returned to the tent.One hour corresponds to the current two hours, and one hour later, that is, at 12 o'clock, I sat by the fire to watch the night, and felt that the time was extremely difficult for a while.

Finally when the time came, I went into the tent to wake Jie An up. He rubbed his eyes and followed me to the fire, when he suddenly let out a strange whistle. The yin-yang fox with a face jumped down from the treetop in the darkness, squatting neatly on Jie'an's shoulder.

Jie An touched its head, bit his own finger, and tapped the bloody finger between Yin Yang Fox's eyebrows.Maybe it's the yellowish reddish color of the fur, or maybe it's too dark, the bloodstains appear as if they don't exist, as if they disappeared in an instant.At this moment, Jie'an blew a sharp whistle, which was loud enough in the dark, not to mention that I found it harsh, and probably woke up the people in the tent.

Sure enough, lights suddenly lit up in the three tents, probably because the people inside turned on the flashlights.

Tofu got out of the sleeping bag with his trousers in his hands, and said in a panic, "There is a situation, what happened!" He looked around, thinking it was an emergency.Zhuan Rui and others also got out of the tent one after another. At this moment, I found that one of the three tents was not lit.

It was the tent where Gu Wenmin and Xiao Jing slept.

Even if the two of them were not on the same page, but with limited resources, they could only squeeze into one tent. Everyone was woken up by the sound of the whistle. With the vigilance of the beautiful woman Gu, it is impossible that there was no movement at all, could it? ...

I had a bad guess in my heart. At this moment, following Jie An's mouth whistled several times, the yellow and red Yin-Yang fox on his shoulder suddenly twitched its nose a few times, and suddenly He walked towards the tent where Gu Wenmin was, and then, there was a scream in the tent.

It's Xiao Jing's voice!
With a sudden shock in my heart, I immediately pulled out the gun I had already prepared, grabbed the weapon and rushed in.

As soon as the tent was opened, a black figure suddenly rushed out from inside. The black figure had disheveled hair, a thin figure, but full of strength. It slammed into me and threw me on my back. Ass blossoms.The moment I fell to the ground, I only felt a black shadow flashing above my head, and a stench drifted from the tip of my nose, followed by the exclamation of Tofu and others, and then the gunshots. It has quieted down.

Not to mention the feeling in my heart, although everything happened relatively quickly just now, and the tent was dark again, but that figure, that wine-red hair, who else is it if it's not Xiao Jing?She...she was really dead!

I quickly got up, and saw Tofu and the others holding their guns in unison, aiming at the hole we widened during the day.As soon as Tofu saw me, he said: "Old Chen, what is that thing? It got into this hole in no time. We are guarding here, so go and see if your main house and concubine are alive. something happened."

Right now, I don't care to correct the name of tofu. After being reminded by him, I recovered from Xiao Jing's blow. I suddenly thought of Gu Wenmin who had been silent all this time. Run into the tent.When I turned on the flashlight, I saw a swollen mark under Gu Wenmin's neck, her eyes were closed tightly, her chest was rising and falling, and she couldn't breathe. angry.Suffocation in colloquial terms is a state close to respiratory shock in medicine. This kind of situation will basically happen to people who fall into the water or have been choked. At this time, artificial respiration must be performed as soon as possible.

I hurriedly performed cardiac pacing for Miss Gu, but it didn’t work after a few presses, so I could only take a deep breath, and started mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration. Wake up, as soon as he saw me, he hugged my neck and wept silently without saying a word.I know that she usually has a strong psychological quality, and it must be really shocking to have this kind of behavior at this moment. When I think of her being strangled by a "person" and almost strangled to death before we knew it, I can't help feeling sad Afraid after the next.Just thinking about what happened to her makes her feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Jing followed us all the way and never harmed anyone, why did he suddenly attack Gu Wenmin tonight?

Is it a coincidence in timing, or is it because I found Xiao Jing's whereabouts that night, so...

While thinking about it, I patted Gu Wenmin on the back. She didn't cry for too long. After a while, she wiped her tears on my shoulder. When she raised her head, she looked a little embarrassed and said hoarsely; "She is very strong , suddenly pinched me, there was a corpse smell on her body, I don't think she is human...cough." Her neck was injured, and it was a bit difficult to speak, so I immediately said: "I know it all, stop talking, take a rest. "

Gu Wenmin shook her head, swallowed a few times, and said, "No, she also said some strange things."

Strange words?
Before I could ask a question, Gu Wenmin showed a look of reminiscence, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was a little out of my mind when I was pinched... cough cough... I seem to have heard her say something about living... a messenger or something."

live?
messenger?

What does it mean?
Gu Wenmin probably didn't remember clearly, so she shook her head in pain, looked at the crowd gathered outside the tent, and said, "Where is she? What's going on?"

I see that she is relatively weak now, and there seems to be no change in Tofu, so I roughly explained the matter. Gu Wenmin's surprise can be imagined, but I didn't expect that she immediately asked a very important question : "She is so fast, she can't hide anywhere, how could she hide in the robber's hole?"

I was also a little puzzled for a while, and I thought to myself, could it be because I became a zongzi, so I also like to drill holes?In the past, there was often a saying that old corpses would dig holes, that is, some old corpse dumplings would dig holes by themselves after the tomb was destroyed, live in the corpse hole during the day, and come out to move around at night.

In old age, if you suddenly see a bottomless hole on a certain mountain, the adults will warn the curious children and prevent them from entering, falsely claiming that it is the snake hole of a big snake.In fact, there are indeed snake caves, but some of them may be corpse caves.
