Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 326
As soon as he snatched the equipment bag, Tofu cursed and swung his fist towards my face. With his little strength, I blocked it with a simple wave.Tofu was grabbed by my hands and cursed: "You fucking bastard, I won't take you if I die." After struggling twice, he said angrily: "I will bite you to death!" I was caught off guard , was bitten to the neck by him, and the pain shuddered, and he let go of his hand subconsciously.

Tofu panted heavily, with blazing anger in his eyes, he suddenly said: "Okay, as I said, let's go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, brothers, and if you want revenge, I will accompany you!" run.

I grabbed his clothes violently, took several deep breaths, and finally managed to utter a word: "Go." Even this word has exhausted all the strength in my whole body. Immediately afterwards, I grabbed the tofu and started Fleeing for my life, the dark tomb passage flashed in the lights, and we gradually left behind. In the underground where the light and darkness intersected, I ran wildly holding Tofu's hand.

I want to live.

The only way to get revenge is to live!Only by living can we find out the truth of the matter!
I can't let Tofu and Wenmin die with me!

Live!
There was a faint sound of bang bang bang behind me, as if something heavy had hit the ground, and I knew that the thing had already chased me.Passing through the tomb passage, behind is the place where my grandfather lived for 14 years. I forced myself not to look at it anymore, and ran forward with the tofu. There were two tomb chambers, and then the door of the tomb chamber was slammed shut. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Zhuan Rui who was manipulating the mechanism. Besides Zhuan Rui, there were Zhong Gong and Gu Wenmin behind the door.

Gu Wenmin's face was pale, and the bandage on his shoulder was bleeding, but it didn't look like his life was in danger.I looked sideways at Tofu, who was a little embarrassed, and muttered, "I don't want to use her to stimulate you, who knew you were so hard-hearted..."

Wen Min looked at the closed tomb door behind me, seemed to realize something, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Chen, he..."

Tofu winked at Wenmin fiercely, and said, "Don't delay, the ghost king is chasing after him. I don't know if this tomb gate can stop him!" Running wildly in one tomb passage after another, every time he reached a place with a trap, Zhuan Rui would stop and close the tomb door.

Our escape route was not the underground river we took before, but the route Zhuan Rui and the others took before.The gates of ten tombs were closed one by one, and the heavy footsteps of the Earth Ghost King's pursuit could no longer be heard.After running wildly for so long, everyone was exhausted. First, the injured Gu Wenmin fell, and then Tofu fell to the ground.

Zhuanrui panted, "It should be almost there. No matter how powerful that thing is, it will take a long time to smash through ten tomb doors. Let's take a rest." This is a tomb passage that I have never been before, Zhuan Rui Er People should have passed by before, so he nodded, indicating that there was no danger here, and sat down on the ground, closing his eyes to rest.

Gu Wenmin looked at me worriedly, holding back his words without asking.

Tofu sighed, found the last piece of sauced beef from his equipment bag and handed it to me, saying, "Eat, I'll give you my share too."

I glanced at him, let out a long breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you just now."

Tofu patted me on the shoulder and distributed the food to everyone. In the dark tomb passage, our group was silent, only the sound of food chewing.

I didn't recall the previous scene. In fact, we are not out of danger yet, and we haven't left this ghost place. If I think about it now, I don't know if I will go crazy.After a while, everyone started on the road again, like a frightened bird or a bereaved dog, hurriedly walking through the thousand-year-old underground palace.

On the way back, in the cave where the human flesh was boiled, I saw the decomposed bodies of Jie'an and his son.Suddenly, a yellow thing came out of Jie'an's chest, which startled us.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the yin-yang fox with half a piece of rotten internal organs in its mouth.

Tofu said Hallelujah in his mouth, and he couldn't bear to look at it carefully.Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death. To his son, Jie An is a good father, but to those killed by him, he is an out-and-out devil.If this is the result, it can be regarded as retribution.After the yin-yang fox swallowed a piece of internal organs, it licked its paws, shook its fur, and shook off the maggots and meat residues on its body. It made strange noises at us. It seemed that it had no malicious intentions, but instead followed us all the way.

Zhuan Rui said: "This yin-yang fox has been domesticated by humans for generations, and it can't do without humans."

Gu Wenmin said: "Then it wants to find a new owner now?"

Tofu rubbed his chin and said, "It's pretty cute. Do you eat offal..." He counted with his fingers: "Now a piece of pork liver costs about 18 yuan. Feed two of them a day, [-] yuan, one The month is two hundred and four, hey, it’s cheaper than perverted Chen’s cigarette money, why don’t we raise it?” After finishing the calculation, he looked at me.

I said: "Pork liver is easy to handle, what if it is a picky eater and wants to eat human liver?"

When Tofu heard this, he immediately gave up.

When I saw this yin-yang fox, I couldn't help thinking of Xiao Jing, and I didn't know where she went after being scared by her grandfather.

The yin-yang fox is very human, and seems to understand what we say, and suddenly let out a humming sound.At this time, Zhuan Rui beckoned to Yin Yang Fox, the thing shook its fur, and rushed to Zhuan Rui's shoulder at a very fast speed, but it just got through the corpse, and the stench came out.

Gu Wenmin said: "Mr. Zhuan, are you planning to raise it?"

Zhuan Rui nodded and didn't say much.

Tofu asked, "Aren't you afraid that it will be picky eaters?"

Zhuan Rui glanced at it, smiled and said: "When it is picky eater, I will catch you here, and then..."

Tofu looked terrified, hid behind me, and said: "Things of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, local tyrants, poor dicks like me, I will not associate with you in the future, don't come and catch me." The dignified atmosphere before, because of Yin and Yang The appearance of the fox eased a little.It's also within my expectation that Zhuanrui would raise it. Back then, the people of the Earth Ghost Clan domesticated the Yin-Yang fox, it was only used to create a mirror world to block outsiders, and it did not do any harm.

There is nothing wrong with the yin-yang fox, it is the people who drive it that are wrong.

Zhuan Rui is a noble person. Although we have cooperated this time, we have not had a deep relationship. He is said to be a kind person who digs mushrooms upside down. I don't know how many nasty things have been done behind the scenes, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse if this yin and yang fox falls into Zhuanrui's hands.

With the Yin-Yang Fox, those little black-haired monsters did not appear again. We climbed out of the hole all the way, without taking a break, and immediately waved the shovel to backfill the hole. Secondly, I also intend to trap the Earth Ghost King inside, but the backfilling soil is relatively small, so I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

When I thought of my grandfather's body being torn apart in it, and the sun was out of sight, I felt so sad that it was hard to describe.

When they came out of the robbery cave, it was dark outside. After finishing their work, they didn't dare to stay where they were. They planned to go out of the woods first and return to the swamp to rest. That would be safer.After trekking all night, when they reached the edge of the swamp, everyone was so tired that they all fell on the spot, motionless.

Zhong Gong had a hard life. In the words of tofu, whoever gives you a part-time job, if the boss takes a rest, you can't rest either.When they reached the edge of the swamp, Zhuan Rui handed the Yin-Yang fox, which smelled like corpses, to Zhong Gong, and motioned him to wash the fox clean.The rest of us fell to the ground to rest, while Zhong Gong continued to work.

Seeing this, Tofu said in a hateful tone: "Evil rich people! Don't treat us migrant workers as human beings. I want to protest. Xiao Zhong, don't be afraid, I will give you justice."

While washing the fox, Zhong Gong turned his head and said with crazy eyes, "It is my responsibility to do things for the master."

Tofu was dumbfounded, and then asked a question that I had been puzzled for a long time, and said, "You are so loyal, how much does he pay you a month?"

Zhong Gong stretched out two fingers.

Tofu asked, "Twenty thousand?"

Zhuan Rui let out a sneer.

Zhong Gong shook his head with a smile, and said: "20, and it will go up if you perform well, but these are small money, mainly the dividends of the inverse."

Tofu froze in place, as if struck by lightning, bowed his head and calculated silently: "The minimum of that year was 240 million... Hey, local tyrant, let's continue to be friends!"

I ignored the tofu, closed my eyes and relaxed the muscles of my body, but my heart couldn’t relax at all. When I relaxed, the huge pain was overwhelmed. I closed my eyes, and I felt my throat was choked, my eye sockets were hot, and a movie was playing in my mind. It seemed to be all the scenes of grandpa, the past, the latest, and the scenes kept zooming in in my mind, and my heart throbbed with pain.

I used to be able to lie to myself that maybe grandpa is still alive somewhere, but now I know that he is really dead, and I am really the only one left in this world.

I don't know how long it took before a pair of warm hands touched my face, and I heard Gu Wenmin's gentle voice: "I seem to have fallen asleep."

Immediately afterwards came the voice of Tofu: "Miss Gu, this matter is not over yet. Really, although Mr. Chen has gone, I have a hunch that this matter will not end. It may be more dangerous in the future. You are always messing around with us mushroom diggers." It's not good together, what do you think next?"

"Together with you, until this matter is over, I will do my best to help him, Xiao Dou, thank you for always being by his side..."

"Haha, I can't help it, who told me to be a man of unyielding, suave, affectionate and righteous..."
