Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 304 The Blood Book

Looking at the compass in my hand, my heart skipped a beat, but at the same time a thought flashed through my mind: If the southeast is really in danger, wouldn't it be better to get rid of her now?I said in my heart: Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, don't blame me for being cold-blooded and ruthless, you betrayed me twice first, and now, the past is over and wiped away.

Thinking of this, I just followed her unhurriedly, and had no intention of stopping her.Xiao Jing has arrived in front of the stone gate at this moment. She is extremely powerful, and there is no such thing as a natural stone behind the stone gate. Her two slender arms have tremendous strength. With a push, the stone gate suddenly opens.Before I could see what was going on behind the stone gate, I saw a green wind blowing out violently.

This is strange, why is the wind still green?How could there be wind blowing out of the formation below a hundred meters?

I took two steps back, only to feel the green wind blowing, my eyes seemed to be lost in sand, and then I suddenly realized, could the green wind be green powder?Could it be the poisonous powder mist again?I thought something was wrong, so I quickly backed away. Within two steps, my leg bumped into a hard object. I turned my head and saw that it was the one in the middle of the three coffins. It turned out that this retreat happened to be right next to the coffin. .

This is a huge wooden coffin painted in red on a black background. The coffins on the left and right are smaller and less painted. Obviously, the two coffins next to it are the coffins of the coffin in the middle.In ancient times, the scale of sacrificial burial was very large, such as the burial of the emperor's dead concubine, and the concubine could carry it to the attendants who were buried with him.

Fortunately, the green wind disappeared in an instant, and I didn't feel anything other than a little discomfort in my eyes, probably not some kind of poisonous powder.At this moment, Xiao Jing had already arrived behind Shimen, and immediately after, she heard her scream, as if she saw something extraordinary.

With the powerful light of the headlamp, I saw a scene of ruins behind the stone gate, and the first image of this scene was explosives!This place must have used a lot of explosives.What was behind the stone gate can no longer be seen, only broken bricks and collapsed earth can be seen on the left hand side.

Fortunately, there is still a complete wall left on the right hand side. It is rare that in such a violent explosion, the mechanism of the stone gate has not been damaged.And that gust of green wind, presumably it was dust left by explosives, was blown out by a strange wind rising from nowhere when the stone door was opened.You must know that using explosives or blasting underground is a very cautious thing. There is often a person in the team who is very good at this, and can accurately adjust the weight and type in various situations. Will be buried alive in the ground.

And the damage caused in front of it is obviously beyond the scope of conventional use.

Could it be that Grandpa and the others didn't shy away from divination and entered the stone gate in the southeast?That being the case, why did you dig a hole under the bucket in the first place?My initial thought was that it was Grandpa and his gang, perhaps because they wanted to retreat, or they wanted to find another way out, so they opened the robbery hole. Now it seems that things are not as simple as I imagined.

At this moment, Xiao Jing suddenly moved her nose and said, "There is a corpse smell." I didn't smell any corpse smell at all, I just felt that the smell in this place was very dull, and there was a dark wind flowing in the space, and I didn't know what it was. Where did it come from.After Xiao Jing finished speaking, she followed the smell and walked forward.This place was supposed to be very big, but with the collapse, there are very few places where people can really walk. The two of us were walking among the gravel and avalanche, and when we turned a corner, we suddenly saw a collapsed Scattered bones on the ground.

Xiao Jing pointed to the bone and said, "It's what came out of it." It seems that there is some connection between the dead and the dead. Besides this bone, there is another robbery hole next to it. As soon as I looked, there was a dark wind coming up from inside.I thought to myself: there is wind in the cave, could it be that this robbery cave leads to the outside world?
Who is this person who died here?

Although I came here to find my grandfather's body, subconsciously, I had an ambivalence. When I saw the body, I always didn't want it to be my grandfather, Chen Siyuan.I adjusted my mood and suppressed this contradictory thought. I knew that some situations would have to be faced sooner or later, so I began to search for the information left by the corpse.

Strangely enough, the corpse had no clothes.Even if the physical body has rotted, the clothes worn on the body in advance will not rot so quickly.

This incident reminded me of the man in Yuzhong and the salt corpse. They both had no clothes on, and according to speculation at the time, the reason they didn't wear clothes was probably due to the shortage of supplies. Therefore, after death, His teammates stripped him of his clothes, not even his underpants.

There is no way to determine the identity of the deceased just based on the bones in front of him. He may be anyone in the team, of course, he may also be my grandfather.

Just as I was thinking about this, suddenly, I found half of something protruding out of the soil next to the bones, which looked like some clothes.Are there still people buried here?I immediately started to take soil from the perimeter of the fabric, taking and taking it, and the whole fabric was exposed.When I saw it, I couldn't help being shocked, because the cloth was not worn on the body of the dead, but rolled into a roll and buried in the soil.

Judging from the half-exposed and half-buried shape of the cloth, perhaps the roll of cloth was originally placed next to the corpse, and was later half buried due to the slipping of the soil block.Seeing that it was rolled up, as if it was done on purpose, I couldn't help but think to myself: Is there any mystery behind this roll of fabric?So I carefully shook the fabric away, and after shaking it off, I saw rows of dark red and black writing on the fabric. I was taken aback and said to myself: blood book!Could it be that this corpse wrote it before dying?
I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I hurriedly read down the blood book. Due to the long time interval and the fact that the cloth had been buried in the soil for a long time, the handwriting on it was very blurred, some of which were completely invisible, and it seemed a bit difficult. But even so, I still caught some key information, and combined with my own speculation, I roughly deduced the content of the blood book.

The blood book was not written from scratch. Of course, firstly, it is estimated that this person does not have that much blood, and secondly, the fabric is limited, so the blood book only briefly mentions it at the beginning.There are 24 people in the grandpa and his party who finally got into this bucket. Before that, they had encountered a huge accident, which caused a great shortage of supplies.

What this accident was and how it happened was not mentioned in the blood book.

The above only stated the cause of death of this person, and combined with some circumstances I speculated, I deduced that the course of the matter was roughly like this: this group of people encountered some unexpected circumstances in the tomb passage full of organs before, and they were arrested. I was trapped, so I went back to the robbery hole and connected to this place.There was a master Yi Xue in the team. After discovering the thing that looked like a compass, he started a divination. Unexpectedly, the result of the divination made everyone tremble with fear.

The divination inscriptions clearly showed the time when the incident happened, which was the time when everyone was trapped.In this way, this can no longer be described as a coincidence, it can only prove that the accuracy of the result of the divination by the bucket plate is terrifying.So besides the date, what information is displayed behind?
Compared with me, a layman, that Yixue master got a more precise explanation.In the book of Yi Xue, the code name is called "Cha Taoist". Cha Taoist solved an astonishing result, which reads: Most of the 24 people in my party will die in this bucket in the end. The hand of the ghost will never be able to go out, but there are three people in the team who can survive. One of them will receive the blessing of the earth ghost king, the other will become a servant of the earth ghost king, and the third can leave this place safely.The location of the danger is in the southeast.According to the divination, only those three people can finally see the coffin of the Earth Ghost King.

Due to the appearance of this very accurate inscription, disagreements arose in the team.Of course, the situation faced by this team was much more severe than mine, because they were the first wave to come to mine, and the few of us were just following their footsteps, and many dangers had already been solved by them up.

From our point of view, it might not be that dangerous, but at that time, Grandpa and his party were already physically and mentally exhausted, lacking in supplies, losing equipment in sevens and eights, and almost everyone was injured.In this case, coupled with the inscription of certain death, there was a disagreement in the team.Some people think that this action should be abandoned. Of course, some people don't believe in evil and want to continue.

My grandfather was mentioned in the blood book, and my grandfather belonged to the group of people who did not give up.

As for the other group of people, there were four in total, they were digging holes under the bucket, preparing to escape from this place, but a very terrifying scene appeared.When the robbery hole was drilled to the depths, yellow slurry water suddenly poured out of the hole, and the person working inside was drowned in the narrow robbery hole.

The remaining three resting people were frightened and stupid, and finally understood a frightening fact.

It's too late to escape now.

They are also one of those 24 people, and their fate has already been predicted by inscriptions.

A group of people were trapped here, and finally realized a fact: maybe only three of them can survive.

Everyone wants to be one of those three, and everyone starts working on it.Finally, they found two yin and yang stone gates.This is a multiple-choice question. Similarly, everyone found that the moon-shaped door happened to be located in the southeast.In this case, everyone must have chosen to avoid the southeast, so they fixed their eyes on the stone gate with the sun drawn on it.
