Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 288 Conspiracy
To my surprise, these soil holes turned out to be straight up and down, and I couldn't see the bottom at a glance.I couldn't help but feel strange, this hole was opened on the mound of soil, only two meters above the ground, so is there a cave below this hole?At this moment, I poked my head into the hole, and suddenly I heard the faint cry of tofu coming from the depths of the hole, as if calling for a big pot of meat.

Damn it, after all this time, he still wants to eat meat!

I was very angry, but at the same time, I also knew that Tofu and the others were actually transferred to the bottom, and they were not dead yet, so I immediately settled down.Although I'm covered in blood and I'm alone in this gloomy underground place, I've always been a bold person, so I don't feel scared. Instead, because I was caught in Jie'an's trick, I was furious and planned to rescue Tofu and others , I had to find a way to get the site back. Dang even pulled out the shovel from the equipment bag, swung his arms and started digging.Not long after, I dug under the mound, but saw that a large hole had been artificially dug on the stone slab under the mound, and at this moment, the voices of Tofu and others had disappeared.

I was shocked and said to myself: This hole looks like it was dug out with tools. Could it be that these weird things were domesticated by humans?Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked down towards the entrance of the cave, and when I looked, I found that there was a huge cave below, which exuded a faint strange smell. Wherever the light reached, I didn't see those black monsters. Didn't see tofu in them either.

Could this be the lair of those monsters?
Apart from the sharp fingers and claws, there is no other scary thing about those things. It was because of a moment of unpreparedness and the narrow space that they took advantage of them. Now that I am prepared, I can give it a go.The height below is about three to four meters, which is not too high for me, so I jumped down immediately, and just as I went down, the lights flickered, and I suddenly found a big cauldron not far in front of me.

I am too familiar with that big tripod, isn't it the big tripod we saw in the ghost hall?
Strange, it stands to reason that it should be located in the very center of the second house, why did it come here?There was still no fire under the cauldron, but white smoke was still coming out, and right here, I suddenly saw a few small black shadows standing on top of the cauldron, and the black shadows were carrying a person. , It turned out to be throwing people into the cauldron.

I jumped like this suddenly, the light came on, those black shadows paused, and turned around, it was those short monsters just now, and the people they were supporting were not tofu or anyone else.

But he said that the tofu was placed on the cauldron and was about to be thrown into the boiling cauldron. I was so scared that I couldn’t say a word. My heart was in my throat. Although I saw this scene, I didn’t even have any reaction. No, I was even afraid of angering those things, as soon as they let go, the tofu would fall down.

I swallowed my saliva and stayed where I was, not daring to move.

At this time, Tofu saw me coming, almost cried, and said, "Old Chen, I understand, most of the human flesh boiled in this pot is your grandfather."

The situation is now very clear. We saw human flesh being boiled in a cauldron in the ghost palace, and we were still curious about where the disappeared people went. Now it seems that they were all boiled by these things?What the hell is this big cauldron that boils without fire?After hearing what Tofu said, I was angry and scared.

However, as soon as I jumped down, the lights startled those things, and many short black-haired monsters popped out of the darkness. I have a machete in my hand at the moment, and I am not afraid for a while. , plus I have strong hands, wherever I go, I will lose my arms and legs when I encounter them.

Those things also have a heart of fear, and they dare not go forward for a while. I guess my image at the moment is not very good, at least I can feel that my face is full of sticky blood, not to mention my body, and my nose is full of blood. Fishy.Carrying the four items of tofu, I must have been startled and stunned. I suddenly withdrew my hand, and heard the tofu yell, and suddenly fell into the cauldron.At this moment, my scalp was numb from shock, and I didn't say anything, and I didn't care about the black-haired monsters wandering around, and rushed all the way towards the cauldron.

But helpless, I rushed forward, surrounded by monsters, before I had time, the tofu fell into the tripod without any sound.My eyes were reddened for a moment, and while running, the throwing knife in my hand shot out fiercely, probably because of the human stress response, but this time it was accurate and ruthless, and I shot one of them all at once. The black-haired monster, with its shining silver flying knife, sank straight into its throat, and before it even had time to scream, it slammed into the cauldron.

With my hand, the other three jumped off the cauldron in fright, and at this moment, I was already very close to the cauldron, ignoring the black-haired monsters tearing around with their claws, I climbed to the top of the cauldron in twos and outs , Looking inside the cauldron, my heart skipped a beat.A sticky liquid was tumbling in the cauldron, and occasionally a few bones and minced meat came out, but the tofu was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be... Could it be that he has...

I almost didn't dare to think about it. An indescribable anger turned into a rush of hot blood and rushed straight to my forehead. Dingli.Unexpectedly, when I stretched my hand in, there was no pain as expected. The water was not hot, but cold.

It was a very strange coldness. When I probed inside, a cloud of yin flowed up my arm. I couldn't help shivering. At this moment, my hand was soaked in the sticky liquid. Something was caught, it should be hair.I quickly lifted it up, and the tofu was lifted out. My mouth and nose were full of mucus, and I didn't know if it was dead or alive.

At this time, my hand holding the tofu was almost frostbitten by the Yin Qi. On the other side, when the black-haired monsters saw me bring out the tofu, they immediately became manic as if someone had dug their ancestral grave , In the dark, someone reminded me: "Be careful!" I turned my head and saw that it was Gu Wenmin and the others. tied with rope.

These monsters still use rope to tie people?

impossible!
I immediately understood and yelled: "Old man, don't hide from XZ, come out!"

As soon as the words were finished, a whistle sounded suddenly in the darkness, and then, those frenzied things suddenly stopped rushing towards me, and at this moment, a person came out from behind those things.

Who is it if it's not Jie'an?
I looked at him coldly, and lifted the tofu up by the way. The movement of this lifting was not very gentle, the tofu was jolted a bit, it was a blessing in disguise, and I spit out all the mucus I drank, rolling my eyes slowly When he woke up, his pretty face was blue, and he said tremblingly, "I'm freezing, I'm freezing to death."

I breathed a sigh of relief, my manic mood calmed down, I stared at Jie'an in the dark, and said, "What's your purpose?"

Jie'an's expression was still the same, he didn't have the expression of being caught for doing something bad, he smiled gloomyly, and said: "So far, this tripod has eaten 72 people."

Eat 72 people?
An indescribable disgust rose in my heart, and I thought: Could it be that the sticky liquid in this cauldron is boiled out of human flesh? "

Tofu said weakly: "You, what are you cooking so many people for? I, I, rely on me, can I eat it by myself?" At this time, Zhuan Rui who was tied up said coldly: "If I guess correctly, what he spread is Jiuyin. Soul Cultivation Bureau."

Jie An was noncommittal, and said lightly: "I have insight, but it's too late to know now."

I have never heard of the Nine Yin Soul Cultivation Bureau, and Zhuan Rui seemed to understand it, so he explained: "This is a foreign evil law. It is said that it can gather the Yin Qi of the unjustly dead in the cauldron and nourish it with Yin Qi." Dead corpses can hold the souls of dead corpses, gather 81 dead corpses with strong blood essence, and the yin energy in the cauldron will pour into the corpses to revive them."

I understood instantly, looked at Jie'an and said, "Do you want your son to come back to life?" For a moment, I couldn't help but think of the black shadow in the cauldron I saw in the ghost hall, and I thought, could it be that Jie'an The soul raised in peace?Sure enough, I looked around calmly, and I found a dark, open coffin near the wall, and the strange thing is that the white mist coming out of the tripod, In the end, they all rushed towards the coffin.

Jie'an sneered, and said, "I don't believe in the seven lamps, I only believe in myself. Including you, there are still eleven people left, and it will be soon." As he spoke, he looked at the coffin not far away. , his expression softened.At this time, Tofu cursed loudly: "You actually killed so many people? Just because of an unreliable situation? The dead can't come back to life! Wake up!"

Jie An sneered, and said, "Ignorance! There are so many things you don't know in this world, isn't there a good example before?" I know, he was talking about Xiao Jing.

After a pause, I said: "Indeed, we know too little about the mysteries of this world. The resurrection of the dead? I believe it! After all, there is a living example around me. But let me ask you, even if your son really lives Come here, are you sure he's still your son?" As soon as these words came out, the flesh at the corner of Jie'an's mouth twitched, obviously touching a part he didn't want to think about.

There are countless grievances and evil spirits gathered in this cauldron. These evil things are injected into the corpse, into the so-called "soul". The person who was resurrected under such evil conditions is still him for the mission Son who lays down his life?Just like Xiao Jing, she is alive, but she is no longer the Xiao Jing I know, but a fierce ghost!
Jie'an's face was obviously distorted in the darkness, and his voice was hoarse and sharp: "Don't talk nonsense, today is your day of death!" After finishing speaking, with a whistle, those short black-haired monsters immediately turned towards me and me. The tofu came pouring in.
