Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 469

When I fell from this fall, I hit the ground face first, not to mention how painful it was, and my nose felt sore all of a sudden.Seeing that I fell, Tofu hurried over to help me, and said, "Old Chen, why are you living longer and getting back, you can fall down every step of the way?" I ignored Tofu's words, got up and looked down at my feet, and then Looking behind me, I saw that the ground was flat. Although it was a little slippery, there was nothing tripping me up, but I knew very well that something must have tripped me up just now.

My heart skipped a beat, and I said in my heart: Could it be a ghost tripping me?In some rural legends, people who walk at night often trip over suddenly, get up and look, but there is nothing on the ground, folks call it ghost tripping.

Seeing me staring at the ground without speaking, Tofu stretched out his hand and waved in front of my eyes, saying, "Bewitched by you?" I grabbed the hand that was dangling and making trouble, and said: " Don't be poor, let's go." As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, and seeing that I was fine, Zhuan Rui and the others also continued towards the golden gate.

On the other hand, I kept an eye out, and looked around intentionally or unintentionally. At this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse into the darkness, and a black shadow suddenly flashed past, rushing towards Zhuanrui impressively.At this moment, I was about three or four steps away from Zhuanrui, and I couldn't help shouting out to be careful, but I didn't know what the black shadow was, it came very fast, and in a hurry, I rushed over and threw Zhuanrui suddenly Rui pressed it to the ground.The ground was wet and slippery, and when they fell down, the two of them rolled around several times in a full ball.

When the figure stopped, Zhuan Rui sat up suddenly, looked at the position where he was before, but saw that the rest of the people looked puzzled. At this time, I found that the black shadow had disappeared.Zhuan Rui obviously didn't understand why I suddenly threw him down and gave me a questioning look, so when I talked about being stumbled by a ghost and seeing a black shadow rushing towards him, Zhuan Rui's eyes flickered a few times, Say no matter so much, let's talk after opening the door.

At this moment, we are only five or six steps away from the golden gate, and we can get it with a raise of our hands.

Around the golden door, there is a circle of Huduo patterns, but it is not as weird as the one on the totem pole. The crack in the middle of the door is almost as thick as a hair, and it is closed very well. In the middle is a human face. , bilingual, with a large swirl-shaped mouth, separated from the middle by the crack of the door, the whole face seemed to be split in half by a knife.

This face is exactly the same as the mask worn by the sitting corpse.

I couldn't help having an idea in my heart, and said to everyone: "The face before has the ability to take people's hearts away, everyone, don't look at the things on this door, in case something changes." Zhuan Rui frowned slightly after listening to me, and signaled Everyone speeded up and made a quick decision. The distance of a few steps was only a few blinks of an eye, and we walked to the door.There is a very large keyhole in the center of the golden gate.

In order to prevent any mechanism, everyone was fully armed, with gas masks, guns, gloves, etc. on their bodies. At this moment, Zhong Gong began to reach out to push the golden door.According to our previous estimates, if Xue An came here from the passage behind the golden gate, then he does not have a key, which only means that the lock of the golden gate is broken. It can be pushed, but at this moment, the golden gate is not moving at all.

Suddenly, Tofu seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted: "No, no. You said before that Xue An came out of this door, but this door is so big and heavy that he can't move it alone?" Tofu This made the point, the golden gate, combined with the strength of the few of us, did not move at all. There are only two possibilities. One is that the keyhole is not broken, so it cannot be pushed; Can push away.

But these two reasons, no matter which one they are, cannot be solved by Xue An.He doesn't have a key, and he is not a powerful person, how can he open this door?Could it be that the door must be pushed from the inside?But if this is the case, what do you need the lock on the door for?
Finally, Zhuan Rui took out the golden key, and was about to test whether the key could open the door, but at this moment, in the darkness, there was a burst of strange laughter!

"Hee hee hee hee..." The voice sounded from behind us, everyone turned around, and there was the black totem pole not far behind, and then, the voice suddenly sounded from our left, waiting for everyone to turn their heads When looking to the left, the voice sounded from the right again, and soon, that kind of shrill laughter came from all directions.

The voice was indistinguishable from male to female, and it sounded from the surrounding darkness. The voice was getting louder and louder, as if it was approaching us.Zhuanrui snorted coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost!" Then he handed the key to Zhang Wen, beckoning him to open the door, and then quickly made a defensive gesture at us, everyone understood, immediately blocked Zhang Wen behind, and a group of people formed a circular arc With a protective line in the shape, they raised their guns one after another, ready to deal with what might appear next.

However, at this moment, the giggling, laughter-like voice suddenly fell silent, and then, the black relief hovering on the totem pole seemed to be alive, and it turned rapidly.I even thought I was dazzled, but when I saw the shocked expressions of the rest of the people, I knew it was true.

Zhuanrui had the experience of facing Hu Yuduo before, and he was very jealous of this thing, so he started shooting without saying a word.Just like before, the bullet doesn't work at all, no matter how you aim it, it will end up going wrong.Tofu said to the corpse fairy: "Wood, go, kill them." As soon as the words fell, the Huuduo on the totem pole turned into black shadows one by one, and rushed towards us.The face that resembles a fox but is narrower and more pointed than a fox makes one's hair stand on end.

The several black shadows rushed towards us one by one, so fast that there was almost no chance for everyone to react. At the moment they rushed over, Zhang Wen suddenly said: "Open it!" With his voice, Suddenly a dark wind blew from behind us, and there was a muffled creaking sound. Along with the sound of the golden gate opening, it seemed that there was still a faint suction pulling us back. The black shadow that came over disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Taking a closer look, I saw those things coiled back on the totem pole again, motionless, like dead things.

Everyone looked at each other, only to realize that the other party was sweating profusely.I wondered for a moment, how did these things suddenly become regular?Could it have something to do with this open door?With this thought in my mind, I couldn't help turning around and looking back.At this moment, the door has been opened, and there is darkness behind the door. It is very strange that after the light enters, it is instantly swallowed up, as if the light cannot spread inside.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised, so Zhuan Rui took out a cold smoke and opened it, and then threw it behind the door. Similarly, as soon as the cold smoke and fire entered the door, it was swallowed by darkness, and the green light disappeared without a trace.

Tofu asked in surprise, "What's behind this place? Why can't the light go in?" As he spoke, he slowly approached, and I quickly grabbed him, cursing in a low voice, "Don't get too close, the one behind here Things don't seem right." At this moment, a gust of dark wind suddenly gushed out from behind the door, blowing towards us in an instant.The stench of the wind was incomparable, I couldn't tell what it was, and everyone took a step back unconsciously. Even through the gas mask, they could smell it clearly. If they took off the mask, they would probably die from the smoke.

The dark wind surged for a while, and then stopped. Everyone couldn't see the scene inside clearly, so they couldn't judge, but according to this situation, the door was very strange, and Xue An probably didn't come out from this door.

That being the case, how did he get to this place from the ancient ruins under the desert?
This question is really inconceivable, and Tofu tried to ignite a ball of solid fuel again. Similarly, as soon as the fuel was thrown into the door, it disappeared without a trace, and the fire was instantly swallowed up by the darkness.

Zhong Gong wondered, "Is there some light-absorbing material behind this door?"

I said: "The ancients did use light-absorbing materials, but light-absorbing is just a term. It can reduce the refraction of light, but it does not mean that it can completely block the light source. It should not be as simple as light-absorbing materials." Tofu rolled his eyes and said: " It's better to let the wood go in and have a look."

I think this idea is quite good, so the two began to preach to the corpse fairy.Let it enter the door. This instruction is relatively simple. It is completely understandable with the current consciousness of the corpse fairy. But after I finished talking to Tofu, the corpse fairy tilted his head and ignored it at all.

Tofu became angry, and threatened: "Do you still want to drink dichlorvos! If you are so disobedient, we will kick you out of the house." Saying this, he stretched out his hand and pushed the corpse fairy forward, and he almost walked into the door But the corpse fairy still refuses to take this step.

I thought to myself that relying on it is worse than relying on myself, so I discussed with Zhuan Rui that it is better to send someone in to investigate first. People were rescued.

After the discussion, the task fell to me. I fastened the safety lock, and still brought a flashlight as a backup, and prepared to enter the door. Unexpectedly, when I was about to step in, the corpse fairy suddenly blocked my way .

I was shocked for a moment, and looked at it without any surprise.

What does it mean?
This is the first time that the corpse fairy has made a move to stop people, which really surprised me.

At this time, its throat rolled up and down, making a series of hissing sounds, as if it wanted to speak, but couldn't speak, it looked a little pitiful.
