Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 295

Thinking of this, my gaze involuntarily focused on the bloody equipment bag under my feet, and I said to myself: It seems that the owner of this equipment bag has already encountered an accident. Could it be his ghost who is warning me?
What danger is there at the end of this tomb passage?
Zhuan Rui suddenly sneered, stretched out his foot, and stepped on it fiercely. In an instant, the flickering lighting device burst instantly, and the bulb emitted a spark, leaving only some fragments in the end.Immediately afterwards, he flicked the clothes around his waist, and after opening the corners of the clothes, he took something from his waist.

It was a buffalo horn about thirteen centimeters in length. It was hollow and polished very smooth on the outside. At a glance, there were patterns of gods, ghosts and beasts engraved on the horn. The gods were Zhong Kui, Guan Yu, and Wu Zixu, and the beasts were green cattle and white tigers , five-clawed dragon, cloud patterns and flames, human and animal scenery, all condensed on the palm-sized horns, but they are lifelike and exquisite.

This thing is obviously an evil-proofing object carried by Tu Fuzi, but it is very delicate. Tofu almost drools when he looks at it, and he doesn't care about being afraid. It turns out that there is a treasure on him." Zhuanrui's step on him, although it shocked everyone, it was considered to be the end of the boat, and it relieved many worries in everyone's hearts. Immediately, everyone stopped hesitating and ignored the strange and strange signal. Go deep into the tomb.

Soon, this tomb passage came to an end, and at the end was a stone door, which had also been opened by someone, and the ground was filled with hidden crossbows.When we walked in front of the stone gate, the light immediately penetrated into the back space of the stone gate, but it was a tomb room about twenty square meters.

With just one glance, we saw the strange thing in the center of the tomb.

It was a large round stone about a person's height. To be precise, it should be jade. Under the illumination of several lights, the jade facing the stone gate looked crystal clear, as if glowing with fluorescent light.Gu Wenmin exclaimed, and said, "My God, this is the first time I've seen such a big jade."

Tofu only said one sentence: "Get rich."

After all, the Zhuan family is a wealthy and well-informed family. Compared with the surprise of the three of us, the three of the Zhuan family were not surprised at all. Only Zhuan Ji asked a question and said with a strange expression: "Such a big jade , how was it cut out?"

"Cutting?" The tofu didn't know why.

Zhuanji looked at him contemptuously and said, "Do you think jade is like this when it is dug out? Jade is like a stone when it is dug out. Only by cutting the outer stone can the inner jade be obtained. However, due to technical reasons, ancient jade cutting It's a delicate job, and such a complete piece in front of me...heh, it's not easy." He said as he approached the jade in the center, and as the light gradually condensed, the transparent texture of the jade became clearer. At this time, a chilling thing appeared in our sight.I saw a shadow slowly emerged from the jade.

A shadow of a person!
How could there be someone in the jade?
Everyone was startled by this vision, and hurriedly stepped forward. As the lights gathered closer, the figures inside became clearer. At this moment, we were almost standing half a meter away from Yushi, and at this time, Yushi We can also see clearly the figures in the movie.

It was a man with an inch head, completely naked, revealing his lean muscles.Tofu was shocked, and quickly stood in front of Gu Wenmin, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

In this weird atmosphere, Gu Wenmin couldn't laugh or cry when Tofu said a word, "Xiao Dou, why are you protecting me?"

Tofu said seriously: "The people inside are playing hooligans."

Gu Wenmin smiled, and then said: "I have seen many corpses, and even dissected them."

Tofu shrank his neck and said, "Anatomy? Will the next one be dissected as well?"

Gu Wenmin nodded, Tofu trembled all over, looked at me, then moved his eyes, staring at me with a look of sympathy and silence, as if I was the dissected corpse.I was so angry that I wondered why this kid's attention was always wandering, so I just kicked him and told him to stay aside and not get in the way.After driving away the out-of-the-ordinary tofu, I turned my attention to jade again.

Everyone has started to circle around the jade, trying to find out how this man got in.I took it for granted that this jade was spliced ​​together, but after everyone searched around, they were shocked to find that this jade was actually one piece.

So, how did this person get into jade?
This is simply not possible!

Looking at that man again, I immediately felt a strange feeling. I suddenly felt that this was not like jade, but like amber, and that man was like an insect trapped in amber.

His legs are sideways, maintaining a sitting posture, with one hand raised, as if he is resisting something, half of his face is covered by his arms, but his expression is still recognizable, his eyes are closed tightly, and there are radially gathered wrinkles around the corners of his eyes , closed mouth, all of this gave me a very familiar feeling.

It's a bit like the expression of closing your eyes and mouth when someone splashes you with water.

The more I look at it, the more certain I am of my guess. Yes, it's not like jade, it's more like amber.I couldn't help stretching out my hand to touch it, trying to find out if it was jade, but the moment I stretched out my hand, Gu Wenmin blocked it.She was very cautious, handed me a pair of gloves, and motioned for me to put them on.But jade, in addition to eyesight, is also a matter of touch. How can I feel it when I wear gloves? I shook my head and touched it with my bare hands. I felt cold and smooth in an instant.

Apart from me, Zhuan Rui and the others almost started touching this thing.

From the point of view of touch, it is no different from jade, and it may even be jade.

But how do people in Yuzhong explain it?I carefully looked at the person inside, and an ominous premonition arose in my heart. This person was naked, and his identity could not be judged from other aspects, but his hairstyle revealed it. This is a modern person!

Without thinking about it, we are almost certain that this must be someone from Grandpa's team.But how did he become like this?
After touching it around, everyone didn't care, and their expressions became more dignified.How could a person be trapped alive in a piece of jade?Could it be that the danger that was warned before refers to this thing?Could it be that the warning signal was sent by this zongzi?I had countless thoughts in my mind, but none of them could be strongly confirmed.

As soon as everyone's eyes entered the tomb, they were attracted by the things in front of them, so they forgot to check other places. At this moment, someone behind me patted me on the shoulder and called, "Old Chen."

I recognized the voice of tofu, and guessed that this kid was driven to the side by me. I should have finished reflecting on it now, so I turned around and asked him what he was doing. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I suddenly saw a scorched man in front of me. Face!A face that seemed to be scorched was pitch-black and faced me, with the nose almost touching the tip of my nose, leaving only a pair of dark eyeballs staring at me.

At this moment, the hairs on my body stood on end, and the blood rushed straight to my forehead. I couldn't see anything except this scorched face.Immediately afterwards, he saw this human face take a step back, wiped his face with one hand, and the human face was actually taken off, revealing Tofu's unbeatable face.

It turned out to be a mask.

Even so, the tingling state of hands and feet when I was suddenly startled just now did not disappear immediately. My eyes circled back and forth between Tofu and the mask in his hand.Tofu probably was kicked by me, so he came to scare me on purpose, but he didn't expect me to be so shocked. He probably saw that I was not looking right, and panicked, threw the mask away, and hurriedly said: "Old Chen, I , I..." Immediately after, he pouted his buttocks and said, "Why don't you give me a kick, don't be angry."

I don't think it's a lie to be angry, but seeing him take the initiative to confess his guilt, I can only accept my fate. If I make a bad friend by mistake, I will admit that I am unlucky.Immediately afterwards, I wondered, "Where did you get that mask?"

Tofu pointed to the east side of the tomb, and I looked in the direction of his finger, and my heart skipped a beat for a moment, but I saw that the wall was densely covered with this kind of masks, scorched black, only two eyes were left. It was hollow, with a large mouth, tightly closed, and the corners of the mouth curved upwards, forming a weird smile.

At the beginning, we only paid attention to the strange human jade in the center of the tomb, but we didn't realize that when we observed the people in the jade, these human faces on the wall were looking at us with a sly smile.

Even though I turned my head to look at them at this moment, the lights are bright, but under the gaze of these weird masks, I still feel cold on the soles of my feet.Tofu chuckled and said, "I was also scared just now. Whoever told you to drive me here, I just wanted to scare you. Who would have thought that you are more cowardly than me, and your face is blue."

I said: "You'd better not mention this matter, as soon as you mention it, I want to strangle you to death." It was also scary, but it was not on the same level at all. Anyone who turned his head would find a scorched man standing behind him. It is estimated that none of them can maintain their composure.
