Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 316 Who Is The Evil Ghost
In this place, the people did not dare to disperse their actions, so they searched step by step, first picked the left side and walked over.There are almost no clues left in this simple and empty tomb. When I saw the scene here, I couldn't help but feel more and more suspicious.According to Grandpa's memory, a total of eight people arrived here, and he must not be counted among these eight people.Immediately afterwards, two of the eight escaped, leaving six people.According to Grandpa himself, those six people were all killed by him. Of course, the memory of the so-called grave keeper's murder is likely to be a false memory produced by some kind of force, just like his identity as the grave keeper.

But even so, there must be corpses in this place, because the pile of corpses outside did not look like a pile of corpses for six people.

Soon, we reached the bottom. The structure of the tomb is symmetrical. I calculated the distance to the left, and it was about 20 meters. Therefore, the overall space of this tomb is not too big. It is about 40 meters long and about 30 meters wide. About [-] meters.At the end on the left, we find a string of quirky symbols carved into the wall.

More precisely, I think it looks like some kind of text.

Its glyphs remind me of Tibetan, which looks very complicated and has no rules of memory.But then, on the stone wall, we found a translation.This translation was obviously written in pencil by someone later, perhaps it was written by the people of my grandfather.The few of us couldn't help leaning forward to read the manual translation carefully.

Gu Damei's voice was clear and soft, and in the deep and quiet tomb, she slowly read the above sentence: from the ground, return to the ground.I have seven lamps of hell, bringing endless disasters, those who read this text, evil spirits are among you.

"Hiss." Doufu said, "Isn't it the seven magic lamps? Why did they become the lamps of hell and bring disasters? The ghost king here must be afraid that others will steal his treasure, so he uses this to fool people."

Gu Wenmin showed doubts on his face, and said: "Not only this sentence, but also the last sentence, the evil spirits are among you." Everyone looked at each other, and finally Tofu and Gu Wenmin both looked at Grandpa vaguely.I can understand their thinking. In fact, from a practical point of view, I myself think it is a very strange thing that grandpa is still alive.

But could grandpa be that evil spirit?

I suddenly thought of Zha Taoist's inscriptions. In the inscriptions, it seems that he also said that in this tomb passage, there is an evil ghost watching everyone's movements.Immediately afterwards, I remembered Xiao Jing's fearful expression at that time, and my heart skipped a beat.The only thing that can scare Xiao Jing is a ghost worse than her.

Grandpa obviously saw something from the eyes of the two of Tofu. His skinny face made it difficult to see too many expressions. Human expressions are moved by muscles, and there seemed to be no muscles on his face. .Grandpa just kept silent.After a while, Tofu pondered for a while, and said in a more cautious and tentative tone, "Mr. Chen, you have lived here for so long, do you know this place...do you know any evil spirits in this place?" I He didn't stop Tofu's behavior. At the moment, his heart is more entangled. Selfishly, he is naturally angry at the suspicious views of the two.But reason makes me clear that the grandfather in front of me is very suspicious.

Unexpectedly, Tofu's words did not arouse Grandpa's dislike. Instead, Grandpa nodded affirmatively. His old voice was hoarse and nervous, and said, "I'm sure there are here. All along, it's what keeps me from approaching this place."

Not to mention Tofu and Gu Wenmin, even I was shocked, couldn't help gasping, Gu Wenmin let out a cry of surprise, and said, "So, have you seen, seen that...ghost?"

Grandpa was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "I'm not sure what it is, but I feel horrible, right here in this place, and that's how I've always felt."

Feeling, this is a very mysterious word. It can be interpreted as the subconscious mind of a person, or the sixth sense. From the first time we met, my grandfather told me that there is an unknown fear that he fears in this place. At that time, I couldn't understand why some people would have unreasonable fear, but now, after thinking about it, I suddenly met: perhaps, this is the remaining subconsciousness of grandpa reminding him.

First of all, before Grandpa became like this, he must have been here, and something must have happened here. This incident left a very deep impression on him, and this impression has not been eliminated until now.

So, is it the 'ghost' that made grandpa what he is now?

I stared at the translated words on the wall, feeling heavy in my heart. If that 'ghost' really exists, what are our chances of winning?Among the known people, Grandpa, Lu Su, Zhuan Donglai, and Bai Ye, if none of them can resist the evil spirit, will our hope be even more bleak?

This is a dangerous thing, but I don't intend to give up. I am a person who does things, and the goals I set are almost difficult to change. It is not that I am stubborn, but that I have the courage to face difficulties.This is not boasting, I am a person who mixed up from the bottom, and I am the kind of person who accounts for the largest proportion.In the process of struggle, I met all kinds of people, some started a business with me, and some were passionate and vowed to overcome all difficulties to get ahead, but later, a large part of them, they can overcome One difficulty, two difficulties or small difficulties, or big difficulties, but when faced with greater difficulties, they will suddenly wake up: I can’t finish it, this matter is beyond my ability, I will still do it honestly Do your own business, watch TV, look around, how many people have ruined their lives because of failure, I'd better hold on to what I have and live a good life.

In the face of difficulties, many friends persuaded me to give up, but I have a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat in my bones. I will devote myself to doing what I think is right. In the end, those people who gave up became passers-by in my life.

Of course, in these matters, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. Struggle is risky, and I am just a person who is willing to take risks.

It's the same at this moment, I know that what is in front of me is a powerful force that even my grandfather and his group have not overcome, but I can't give up on my grandfather, so I am destined to continue down, but I have a stalk in my heart, at this moment The future is bleak, I can take the risk, but should Tofu and Wenmin also take the risk?
If grandpa fulfilled that sentence and became the servant of the Earth Ghost King and the gravekeeper here, would Tofu and Wenmin still be as lucky as Lu Su if he failed?I am a desperate Saburo who is not afraid of death, but I can't hurt the people around me.At this moment, I was hesitant in my heart, but this hesitation did not last long, and was dispelled by Tofu's words.

He didn't seem to have thought about this aspect at all, but shook his head and said: "Fuck the devil, the rice dumplings I have seen can be lined up in a company, and I want to use this to scare me. I said the old man Chen, what are you thinking about when you look down at the funeral? Mr. Chen is alive and strong now, this is something to be happy about. Don’t think too much, the three of us go through life and death, Didn’t you come here just to save Mr. Chen? How can you be scared by a sentence, I want you to take a picture first to see where the evil spirit is, it’s easy to deal with, at worst it’s death, brother, I’ll accompany you. "

Wen Min was not as straightforward as Tofu, she said: "Things are not that bad, I believe that as long as we are united, everything will be fine."

I was moved in my heart, knowing that these two people treated me with deep affection, and it was probably impossible to let them leave, so I didn't say much, and decided to follow the most primitive method of tofu, isn't it because there are evil spirits?Well, let's invite incense first, and see what that evil ghost is like.

We are also very familiar with the set of lighting the lamp and inviting incense. I won’t go into details about the process. After a while, I saw the flame jumping, but it didn’t change color. Then, the green smoke curled up. I don’t know if it’s my illusion. I feel the temperature around me suddenly dropped some.At the moment when incense was lit, the headlights above the three of them flickered in unison, flickering on and off, as if they would go out in the next second.

Tofu screamed in horror at this weird situation. Obviously, the headlights of the three people had problems at the same time. This is definitely not a malfunction. It can only be said that something is playing tricks!

Immediately afterwards, before we had time to react, the headlights of the three of them snapped and went out simultaneously.

I couldn't say it, and I immediately shouted in the dark: "Don't stay where you are!" This is the most basic common sense. At this time, it is not a wise decision to stay where you are. That would be so easy.While talking, I pushed the person next to me, and they rolled to the ground.

I remember that Gu Wenmin was standing on my right. In times of crisis, there is no such thing as saving someone first, and helping the one who is closest.This is similar to the question about the mother and girlfriend falling into the water at the same time. In fact, the answer is wrong, because these two women are the most important to men. Rescue those closest to you first.

After I pushed Gu Wenmin down, I heard a rustling sound in my ears, probably the sound of Tofu and Grandpa shifting positions.The moment I fell to the ground, I quickly lit the lighter. The lighter's range of vision was not very wide, and I couldn't even see where the tofu and grandpa had moved. The only thing I could see at close range was Gu Wenmin's face.

But when I saw it, I was stunned. There was a meaningful smile on her beautiful face, and she was staring at me in the dim light.

Immediately afterwards, she said four words to me: "Catch me." Before I could react, she kicked me away suddenly.
