Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 364 Mystery
I turned the corner with the flashlight on, and there was a scarlet bloodstain in the snow under the light, and the strong smell of blood rushed to my face, which was shocking in the darkness.The wind and snow are very heavy at the moment, if I come later, these bloodstains will be covered by snow.

The source of the bloodstains was a big raised bag, which was obviously piled up artificially, as if something was buried in it.One side of the big bag was stained red with blood. In the wind and snow, the red and white in front of my eyes formed a shocking contrast.

What is buried in this snowdrift?
An ominous premonition rose in my heart, and I walked to the side of the snowdrift, and stretched out my hand to disperse the snowdrift, but just as I stretched out my hand, there was a soft click behind me.

It was the sound of snow being trampled down.

Someone is behind me!

I was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw an unexpected person, who was dumb.

Didn't he go into the tent?Why did you come out again?

The mute stood behind me, with his hands folded on his chest, with an indifferent expression, standing motionless in the wind and snow.I looked past him and looked behind him. There was no one there, and I couldn't help cursing that boy Tofu in my heart. I don't know how he kept the night watch. The dumb guy just followed me, and he didn't know how to ventilate me. report.

Before I could speak, the mute said coldly: "Go back."

I looked at the snowdrift, then looked at the mute, and asked, "Did you kill the things inside?" Although I don't know what is buried inside, but with so much blood, it is definitely not alive .I was very surprised, this mute came out in the middle of the night, ran here to kill something, and then buried it in a snowdrift, no matter how I think about it, it is wrong.

If it is said that when the mute is letting go, he accidentally encounters something dangerous, and he can easily deal with it, that is also the case, but if he solves it, he will solve it. Why is he burying it?Furthermore, Fang Mao shouldn't have come so far.

Now, this person obviously entered the tent, and now he reappeared, his whereabouts were so mysterious that it was difficult for people not to doubt him.

When I was asking, I deliberately suppressed my voice, fearing that the mute would recognize my identity, but as soon as I spoke, the mute answered, "Chen Xuan, don't ask too many questions. I'll tell you, do it. Don't listen." Just get out." I've already learned about the dumb's venomous tongue, so I didn't care much about it, but what really surprised me was that this person actually knew my identity.

Tofu and I haven't met him a few times along the way, we haven't said a few words, and we've been wrapped tightly, how did he recognize him?

As if aware of my surprise, the mute raised his chin proudly, his eyes were indifferent, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "You clown, do you think you can hide it from me?"

I was a little angry, since I was exposed, there was no need to hide it, so I tore off the scarf covering my mouth and nose, and said, "Who put the drug in the first place, clown, you are talking about yourself, right?"

The mute said coldly: "Is this how you talk to the savior?" I knew he was referring to the sending of signals in Xu Fu's tomb and later, and he was indeed the savior of our group. A sweet date, another slap, this kind of thing, I am afraid that only children don't care about it.But I can't always quarrel with him, quarreling is the most waste of words, so I said: "Okay, don't say it so nicely, since you recognize it, let's get straight to the point and explain it in plain language." After a pause, I stared into his dark eyes and said, "Who are you?"

"Wu Shui." He spit out these two words.

I sneered and said, "Go and lie to ghosts."

The mute sneered and said, "How do you want me to answer you? Tell you that I am a statement? Actually, I am also thinking, why do I look exactly like him... But I am definitely not him, that is a loser, He is not worthy to be compared with me!"

I don't have any feelings for the statement, and I can't even say the word "Pa", but when I hear the dumb comment on the statement like this, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart.There is a saying that beating a dog depends on the owner. Even if I don't want to admit it, the statement is my father after all. How could this kid be so insulting? I suppressed my anger and said, "Shut up, he is not a loser."

The mute said coldly: "What is a dead person if he is not a loser?"

"In your eyes, dead people are losers, but everyone will die, and you will have such a day sooner or later."

The mute clicked his tongue, and said coldly: "The living have everything, the dead have nothing. I'm still alive, but I can let you die right now." These words were clearly a threat.After the mute finished speaking, he stopped talking, and stood upright on the spot, with extremely stressful eyes covering me, making people dare not act rashly.

The mute obviously didn't want me to know what was buried in the snowdrift, and he didn't mention the question I just asked.Obviously, he is not a statement, and even he doesn't seem to understand why he is exactly the same as the statement, things are a bit weird.

I looked away from the snowdrift, knowing that there was a dumb man, and it was impossible for me to uncover the secrets under the snowdrift, so I slowly walked towards the camp. During the period, the dumb man and I kept close At a long distance, the two walked silently in the wind and snow.

The bonfire in the distant camp was already faintly visible. I didn't look back and asked, "Then tell me, why do you have anything to do with the map? Why do you want to enter the tomb of King Juer?"

The mute made no sound.

I then asked: "Even if you are not making a statement, then you must have some relationship? Otherwise, why do you know so clearly about him?"

The mute still didn't answer, so I stopped and turned around to block his way.Only then did the mute look me in the eye, and after a while, he said coldly, "I have no obligation to answer you. What do these questions mean to you? What does it matter to you if you know?"

I was taken aback by his question. The dumb way of thinking is really hard for ordinary people to understand. What does it mean that it has nothing to do with me?A person who looks exactly like my father, a person who opposes me everywhere, first took away the seal of Liuhe, and now is going to take away the map left by Chen Ci, how can he have nothing to do with me?
But after thinking about it, what he said seems to be right, even if I know it, so what?Could it be that if I know the reason, the mute won't rob me?Can I prove that there is a certain relationship between the mute and the statement, so that this person can change his current virtue?
Knowing this, it won't change anything about my current situation.

I suddenly came back to understand that the mute is like a person who is out of the world, others can't affect him, and most of the time, he won't affect others, of course, the premise is not to make people angry.

After the mute finished speaking, he bypassed me and walked straight into the camp.

At this end, Tofu fell asleep by the fire, and I lamented for a moment that I was careless in making friends, and I woke him up, and said: "I told you to keep watch, and you fell asleep in less than 10 minutes. Is there anyone like you?" ?” Tofu also looked dazed, and said, “Strange, why did I fall asleep? I obviously sang while watching the night, but I was excited... Hey, I remembered, I smelled a scent, and then I couldn’t control it Hold on, the eyelids can't hold up."

I reckoned that [-]% of the mutes were on medication again, so I didn't tell Tofu any more, and woke up the next wave of shift changers, and then took off my clothes and got into a sleeping bag.

Tofu kept asking me what I found, and I didn't feel sleepy right now, so I told Tofu what happened just now, but just after I finished speaking, Lu Su, who had been sleeping all the time, suddenly said, "As long as he didn't kill us The people in the team don't have to worry about it."

Tofu let out a hey, poked his head out of the sleeping bag, and said to Lu Su, "You didn't sleep, but you listened to the corner, it's too immoral."

The fire outside was reflected on the tent, and everything in the tent seemed hazy. Lu Su seemed to smile and said, "If I don't wake up when you two make such a big noise, I won't be fit to eat Daodou. Already." Yes, if your vigilance is too low, you will die miserably.

Tofu said, "Don't you wonder what's buried in the snowdrift?"

Lu Su still smiled and said: "There are too many things to be curious about. I only pay attention to what is related to me. If my mind is scattered, it will be chaotic..." He looked at me and said, "Listen to my advice, Brother Chen, everything is impossible. Clearly, you know what's the best way to go when a ship is stuck in a vortex? Instead of running out along those messy spirals, it accelerates towards a central point, and the ship is pushed out by the reaction force."

Lu Su's voice was calm and gentle. In the cold snow-capped mountains, my restless heart suddenly settled down. Tofu said: "What you said makes sense. Sometimes, one thing is too complicated, so we have to pursue it one by one." , it will be like getting into a mess, the fastest way is to find the center point, and leave the rest of the lines alone. Old Chen, what is your center point?"

I was silent for a while and said, "Curse."

Tofu clapped his hands together and said, "Come on, it's a curse. If we find old man Zhao, we can find the map of King Juer's tomb, and Bai Laosi can find a way to transfer the curse from it. We won't lose to him. As for the dumb pants Let’s not think about the blood on it, whether it killed something, or hemorrhoids and constipation. I think the three of us have the same core point now, which is to sleep.”

Lu Su laughed, nodded in agreement, and shrank into the sleeping bag.

When there was no voice, Fengxue's voice could be heard more clearly, and occasionally there were the slight voices of the two watchmen outside.Maybe it's because of my personality. As a person, I have to see everything clearly and clearly to feel comfortable.As Tofu and Lu Su said, let some mysteries remain mysteries forever, this is not my character, I can't do it.
