Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 453 Xianwei
In the underground world that has been covered in dust for more than 2000 years, there is a layer of bad luck floating in the air, making people's vision blurred.Everyone gathered in one place, and several searchlights illuminated this small space clearly.On the pitch-black stone wall, there are still continuous relief sculptures, and there is no shadow of a child anywhere.

Everyone obviously thought of the girl's corpse just now, and Tofu moved closer to me, looking around in fear.At this time, Tofu suddenly grabbed my arm, pinching his fingers tightly. I looked sideways, but saw him staring at the front left, his eyes straightened, with a look of fear.

My heart skipped a beat, and I followed his gaze, only to see that there was only a stone wall carved in relief, with scenes of famine carved on it, and the sky was covered with lightning, as if he was about to experience some kind of natural disaster. look like.Before, I just glanced at these reliefs roughly, but when I looked carefully at this moment, I felt my scalp go numb and my back tense, because of the human figures in the reliefs.Surprisingly, there was also a dark figure of a child.

Since the surrounding stone walls are also black, it is almost integrated with the entire relief and the stone wall, and it is difficult to find it at a glance.The black shadow on the stone wall seemed to have sensed the eyes of me and Tofu, and then slowly turned his head, revealing a white and blue face, with braids tied, it was a girl.As soon as that blue and white face turned around, the rest of the people noticed and heard Ouyang Xuan screaming, while Zhong Gong fired a gun at the girl on the stone wall.

This shot seemed to break some kind of illusion, and the girl disappeared instantly.Everyone ran to the stone wall, where could they see any girls.Tofu smacked his mouth and said, "I saw something hanging around the girl's neck, which is exactly the same as what was hanging on the corpse just now."

Zhong Gong said: "It seems that your cremation failed to send her to the Western Paradise, but instead got her ghost out." Speaking of ghosts, Tofu couldn't help but grab the corpse fairy's braids and pull his face down , said angrily: "It's really a waste of raising you, it's useless at all."

I thought about it, and found a phenomenon, that is, the corpse fairy was born, and I have eaten heavenly soldiers, poisonous gu, poisonous snakes and devil insects, but I have never eaten soft rice dumplings. According to tofu, it met ghosts. During the market, although it was attracted by the ghost market, it did not appear to be devoured.

Could it be that this corpse fairy can only deal with hard zongzi, but is helpless against soft zongzi?
I saw that the corpse fairy was dragged by the tofu by the braid, and he had no power to resist. I also felt that it was to blame, so I told the tofu not to toss it. Now the corpse fairy has just given birth to consciousness and has not yet fully developed. Sure, it's safer to rely on yourself than to rely on it.

Everyone stood back to back and looked around to prevent the little zongzi from jumping out again.At this time, I heard Zhang Wen say: "There is no way out, and it looks like a dead place again. Master, let's go out first, so as not to cause accidents." When he said this, I looked at the place where the girl disappeared, and suddenly found A strange thing happened.

When Zhong Gong fired a shot at the girl, I was very confident in Zhong Gong's marksmanship, and the distance was not far, so it was impossible to miss it.The girl is a soft rice dumpling, without substance. After the bullet hits the stone wall, it is reasonable to say that it will hit the stone wall, and it should leave bullet marks, but now I find that there is a white spot on the stone wall where the girl was lying on before. None remained.

How is this going?

Could it be that the girl was not a soft rice dumpling, but a hard rice dumpling, so the bullet hit her?

I couldn't help lowering my head, and looked around on the ground, and soon found the bullet that Zhong Gong fired, it was bounced to the right, and rolled to the corner of the wall.I picked up the bullet and showed it to everyone. I pointed to the black stone wall and asked my questions.

Now that the bullet is found, it means that the girl is indeed a soft rice dumpling, and the bullet did not hit her. In this case, there must be bullet marks on the stone wall, but there are no bullet marks now, which can only explain one problem, that is, the texture of these black stones. very hard.In order to prove this idea, I pulled out the dagger and pointed it at a point on the stone wall and poked it several times.I have relatively strong strength, and these daggers are extremely hard and sharp, these few strokes of ordinary stones will definitely leave marks.

I thrust it hard a few times, and then took a closer look, and there was still no trace on the stone wall.

Tofu was surprised: "What kind of rock is this, why is it so hard?"

The rest of the people immediately understood and heard Zhuan Rui say, "The stones in the rest of the room are different from here. The stones in this place are special and very hard. There must be some purpose."

Zhang Wen wondered: "What is the purpose of using such a hard stone?"

Doufu clapped his hands together and said, "Does it need to be said? I must be worried that the stone wall will be destroyed. This thing is harder than iron. You think, in that era, there was no such thing as explosives. If such a hard stone is used Come to defend, isn't it invincible?"

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "I think it's the same. Most important things have been placed in this room."

Ouyang Xuan said: "Since these stones are so hard, how did ancient people cut them? How did they carve them?"

This question really stumped us. These exquisite reliefs are extremely delicate, and the stone is so hard that bullets do not leave marks on them. How did the people in Yaofang cut them?What important things were placed in this stone chamber?

While thinking about it, Zhuan Rui took out an iron crowbar, and hit the stone wall twice with the head of the pryer, and then heard a bang bang bang sound from behind, indicating that the back of the stone wall should be empty.In an instant, everyone realized that there was a secret room behind the stone wall. It seemed that these hard stones were probably used to prevent people from entering the secret room behind.

Zhuanrui squinted his eyes, and said: "There must be a mechanism, it should be around here, find it." Everyone immediately began to grope for the mechanism in this stone room, I thought of the girl lying on the stone wall before, and couldn't help thinking : There are so many places where she doesn't lie down, but just lies on the top of the secret room. Could it be that the little girl is deliberately leading us?

In the following process, the girl disappeared completely, and we can no longer see it, and Yaofang's ancient mechanism is obviously very different from the mechanism technique we know later, so no matter how hard everyone tries, they still can't find it. A little clue.

Zhang Wen became anxious and said: "This secret room is so tight, the contents inside must still be preserved, which is of great significance to our operation. No matter what, we have to find a way to get in."

Tofu came up with an idea and said: "Let's try it without explosives and see if it can explode."

When I heard this, I almost vomited blood in anger, kicked him directly, and cursed: "Shut your crow mouth, we are now under the sand of the desert, and these buildings have been under the sand for more than 2000 years. The ability to resist pressure is already very weak, and if you add explosives, do you want us to be buried alive?"

Tofu clutched his buttocks, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't I come up with an idea, why are you so fierce." Then he looked at the corpse fairy, his eyeballs moved, and said to the corpse fairy: "Wood, in life, you have to Those who do nothing are pigs. Shouldn’t you contribute? How hard was the thick layer of black ice back then, and it exploded with a bang as soon as you waved your hand. It’s too awesome. Why don't you wave your hand again to break through this stone wall?"

Tofu's words are sound, and I can't help but look at Shixian. Although the order given to it is not effective at times, I hope it will be effective this time.After Tofu finished speaking, Shixian tilted his head, his long braid hanging to one side, his eyes rolled slightly on his dull face, as if he was analyzing Tofu's words.Everyone knew the terrifying ability of the corpse fairy, and they couldn't help holding their breath, waiting for its next move.

But after waiting for a full ten minutes, the corpse fairy still maintained this appearance. Tofu was discouraged, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to speak when suddenly, a crackling sound came from everyone's ears. After listening for a while, I realized that the sound came from the stone wall.

And that hard stone wall unexpectedly began to slowly have spider web-like cracks, and as the cracking sound became more and more similar, the cracks became bigger and bigger.Everyone was stunned, but at this moment, the corpse fairy suddenly moved, walked slowly to the side of the stone wall, stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and heard a bang, and the stone wall collapsed.

Tofu opened his mouth wide and stammered, "It, how did it do it?"

Don't mention how shocked I was at the moment, although I heard from Lu Su that the corpse fairy is not strictly a corpse, but a kind of fairy, but I didn't expect that when this fairy really gradually showed its The strength is that it will shock us ordinary people so much.

After the stone wall collapsed, a square entrance was exposed. From our position, the entrance was slanted downwards, and there was a black stone step extending all the way down. Even if the lights were turned on, the end could not be seen. place.

The corpse fairy stood on the side of the entrance, tilted his head, and stared at the tofu. After a while, seeing that the tofu didn't show anything, he looked at me again. Although it had a blank face, I instantly understood what it meant. , seems to be rewarding.I thought for a while, reminded Tofu, and said, "Didn't you have dichlorvos in your bag?" Since every fight would be attacked by bugs, Tofu brought a bottle of dichlorvos with him, just in case.

As soon as I reminded, Tofu immediately slapped his forehead, turned out the dichlorvos, unscrewed the cap, handed it to Shixian, and said with a dry smile: "Reward." an empty bottle.

Tofu and I looked at each other, not to mention the complexity in my heart, the horror of this corpse fairy was only predicted by Lu Su and Chen Tiande before, but when its consciousness grew little by little, and it really showed its own strength, a kind of A sense of crisis that makes people feel terrible arises spontaneously.
