Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 318
At this moment, the thing that controls us has disappeared. To be precise, it has not disappeared, but it has only temporarily stopped its actions. At this moment, it is watching us in a form that we cannot see.

It makes me look backwards.

At this moment, there is only a huge black coffin in that position, reflecting a mysterious atmosphere under the dim light.

Everyone's eyes were first attracted by the corpse on the coffin.The corpse was wearing a yellow outdoor suit, obviously a member of Grandpa's team.From this point of view, probably due to the good feng shui here, the corpses here have no signs of decay, but have formed black mummy.From our point of view, the upper body of the corpse was lying on the coffin lid, the lower body was hanging down, and the feet did not touch the ground.

Tofu swallowed his saliva, approached me, his brow was full of sweat, and said: "The movement of this corpse seems to be pressing down on the coffin lid. Do you think he is the one who caused the trouble?"

At this moment, Miss Gu woke up from the turbulence just now, and she couldn't get out of it even in this situation, she stood up and said, "Probably not, ordinary zongzi, how can it be so powerful. "

Tofu said, "You're getting more and more slippery with jargon now."

Gu Damei said: "I didn't learn it all from you." The two of them came and went, probably trying to dispel their fear by chatting, but the effect was counterproductive. In the weird coffin room, the voices of the two came and went , like a ghost, even more empty, after a few words, the two of them couldn't continue.

This is an enemy that has never been seen before. If it hadn't stopped suddenly, it can be said that none of the four of us can survive, because it can control us to commit suicide at any time.

Slowing down my thoughts, I knew that I had encountered the biggest danger since Daedou, and it was impossible to escape now, even if I wanted to escape, that thing would not let us do so, since it stopped this trick of control , let us 'look', there must be other intentions, so I said: "Just look, if you don't believe it, you can scare people to death."

I let Gu Wenmin and Doufu stay where they were, and gave Grandpa a wink, signaling to step forward, even though Grandpa is old, but his physique and skills are definitely beyond our reach.To untie the bell, one needs to tie it. The reason why grandpa became what he is today is related to what he did just now. There are some things that we have to figure out by ourselves.

Tofu took care of Gu Wenmin, while my grandfather and I walked towards the coffin step by step.When I got closer, I suddenly found a strange place, that is, the coffin was sealed, and it was obviously not opened. My heart skipped a beat, and my mind was filled with a question: This coffin is obviously the ghost king himself. Yes, didn't the gang of grandpa open it back then?In the situation at that time, people had already come in, so it was right to see the coffin open, see the corpse and touch the corpse. How could there be such a coffin without moving?
It's a pity that grandpa has lost his memory, and I don't know what happened at that time, but this detail tells me that this coffin may not be opened easily, otherwise Lu Su and his gang will never give up on their lips of meat.

Thinking about it this way, I asked my grandpa: "When you see this, do you think of anything?"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa suddenly said, "Yes."

I was startled, turned my head quickly, and said, "What?" If I could think of something at this time, it would be of great help to us.

Grandpa's eyes were fixed on the corpse on the coffin, and his expression became a little stiff, as if he was remembering something. I held my breath and did not dare to disturb for a while. After a while, Grandpa suddenly opened his eyes and said A voice like being strangled by someone said: "I promised it!"

"Who? Who is it?"

Grandpa turned his gaze to me, pointed at me and said, "Myself."

I was a little dazed, almost unable to understand what Grandpa meant. Just when I was about to continue asking, Grandpa suddenly said: "Don't look, don't look at anything, get out of here immediately!" Immediately afterwards, he covered his eyes , but as if it was a step too late, I heard Grandpa start talking to himself, and instantly became crazy, but the speed of speaking was very fast.

Tofu supported Gu Wenmin, and said anxiously from behind: "What are you talking about, what happened?"

I was confused, and when I saw Grandpa covering his eyes and talking to himself, acting almost like a neurotic, I became anxious and said, "How would I know, we haven't done anything yet."

Tofu didn't care too much, and everyone gathered around, talking to grandpa, while trying to pull grandpa's hand off.I was stronger and tried my best to restrain Grandpa's hands. At this moment, I suddenly found that Grandpa's cloudy eyes seemed to become clearer at this moment. His seriousness reflected my shadow.

No...it's two of me.

In his eyes, next to me, there is another person doing the same movements as me, exactly the same.The moment I stared at his eyes, the hairs all over my body stood on end. It stands to reason that even if there is a reflection in the pupil of a person, the image cannot be seen clearly. Clear, even clearer than my own shadow.

With a weird smile on his face, he looked at me through his pupils, and his lips moved. At the same time, a voice sounded in my ear: "Come and catch me!" How can a normal person see such a scene? His legs were almost weak, and he lost the strength to hold Grandpa's hand for an instant, so the next second, Grandpa covered his eyes with his hands, repeating the sentence: "Don't look, don't look..." He said at the end When he said a word, his voice suddenly rose, and he said sharply, "Don't look at...the coffin!"

Don't look at the coffin!
At this time, I stretched out my hand violently, and knocked grandpa out all of a sudden, because I didn't know what would happen if this went on.

Now, we are trapped, even though the tomb door is open, we are still trapped.

What traps us is an incomprehensible thing.

Grandpa fell to the ground, and his unconscious expression returned to calm. I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned my head to my side.There is nothing around me, but in my mind, it is full of the extra me.

What did grandpa mean just now?Why is he suddenly nervous?What is 'I promised it', but this it is itself?

Is it a dual personality?
Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and said: "No, I'm going to go crazy if this goes on, damn it, old Chen, don't care, open the coffin and find out, at worst, you will die, Grandpa Dou I'm going all out." Immediately afterwards, he began to fumble for tools to open the coffin from the equipment bag.

Since we didn't expect to go down in the early stage, we didn't carry a set of professional equipment for opening the coffin, but there are always some substitutes that can be used for special circumstances and special treatment.At this moment, we have no way out, we either live or die, and the coffin in front of us may be the source of all the strange powers.

Tofu and I didn't talk any more, and first got rid of the corpse that was pressed on the coffin, while Gu Wenmin watched over the comatose grandpa.

The corpse is no longer identifiable from its appearance, and there is no equipment bag left on its body, but now, it is meaningless to find out its identity. Our focus is not on this, so get the corpse down After that, Tofu and I started to pry the coffin.

The coffin is the protective layer that covers the outside of the coffin.The specifications of the coffin and coffin directly represent the identity of the owner of the tomb.

This is the largest coffin I have seen so far. It is square in shape, with six flat sides, and the carved patterns on the surface are very strange. It is still the kind of chubby face, crowded together with various expressions, lifelike, as if To escape from the coffin lid.With the prying of the outer coffin chamber, there was a sudden creaking sound, and the moment the outer coffin lid was pried open, a burst of black mist suddenly gushed out from the thin cracks around it.

At this moment, I was opening my mouth, and the black mist poured into my mouth, and I felt a numbness in my mouth for a moment, and then I realized that it was a kind of insect smaller than mosquitoes and flies.

Tofu was startled by the flying insect, and the strength of his subordinates also loosened. I couldn't bear it alone, and the lid of the outer coffin was closed with a bang.The insects that flew out of the coffin chamber disappeared without a trace in a moment, my throat felt itchy, and the thought of eating those insects made me feel sick, and I even vomited up the tofu.

But this time Tofu was not discouraged. Fear and anger came together to form an aura of not fearing death. He wiped his mouth, copied the crowbar, and said, "Fuck you mother, come again!" Cover your mouth and nose to prevent being attacked by flying insects again, and continue to pry the coffin lid without saying a word.

There are bugs flying out of this cover, which makes me wonder, how do these bugs survive?
Could it be that the coffin lid has been opened?Since it was opened, why did it cover it so tightly in the end?
This time, Tofu and I were prepared. After prying it open, the flying insects continued to fly out, but we did not relax. We continued to pry the heavy coffin cover aside, and our gloved hands could feel a burning pain. The arm muscles trembled.Such a heavy outer coffin cover is really difficult for me and Tofu.

At this moment, I heard a dull explosion from far away.

Tofu and I just looked at each other, but didn't make a sound, and continued to pry the coffin cover while holding that breath.If I'm not mistaken, the voice just now is definitely the voice of Zhuan Rui and the others using explosives. Grandpa saw the two were released from the predicament for my sake. These two are shrewd people. He must have found some kind of breakthrough, so he blew it up with explosives. It is estimated that he should be able to reach the main tomb in a short time.
