Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 475 Experiments
I stared at the black and white faces that suddenly appeared in the darkness, and I was shocked for a while. After a closer look, it turned out that there were many people sitting upside down in front of us, all wearing masks, blocking us. ahead.

When everyone saw what it was, they were not so afraid. They couldn't help but ponder for a while, how could there be such a person here?Obviously, these people can't be living people. Is there something weird about them being stuck here?
The crowd was afraid of fraud and did not dare to act rashly. Zhong Gong, who was walking in the front, acted as a trailblazer, and walked forward slowly after a while.As the light drew closer, we also saw the situation in front of us clearly. On the stone steps in front of us, there were many mummies crowded close together. Most of the clothes on these mummies were integrated with the corpses. space ahead.Behind the corpse, there was no way to pass through, and huge rubble blocked the way.

Tofu put Ouyang Xuan aside, slumped his shoulders and said, "Why do all these people die here?"

Zhong Gong tried to move a few stones, but found that the passage had collapsed so badly that it was completely blocked.Zhang Wen said: "It seems that these people should have been trapped here with nowhere to go, so they died here."

Tofu said, "You still wear a mask when you're dying?"

I said: "This is not surprising. Many places have burial customs that cover their faces. After the death of princes and generals in ancient times, some would wear jade masks. I think these people probably knew that they would die. escape, that’s why I put on a mask.”

Zhang Wen nodded and agreed with my speculation. At this time, Zhong Gong said: "It's completely blocked. This doesn't look like a natural landslide. I think it seems to be caused by some mechanism. You see, these people died in the One is clearly prepared, I suspect that this self-destruct mechanism may be launched by them."

Tofu showed a look of enlightenment, and said: "You say so, it is really possible. This ancient kingdom of Yaofang was destroyed by the war, and the things in the palace above were also looted. It is likely that an enemy broke into this place. These people In order to protect the sacrificial place, that's why we came here. Not good... so how should we get out?"

Unexpectedly, after working so hard to find a passage, the back road was cut off like this. I couldn't help but scolded my mother and said: "This road won't work. It seems that we still have to start from above. No matter what, we must Find a way to get that little zongzi down."

Tofu sat down on the ground discouraged, and said disheartenedly: "I invited the incense too, it's useless at all. I think some of us are going to die this time, who will recite the mantra of rebirth? Give us salvation in advance while we are still alive." one time."

I kicked him, telling him not to disturb the morale of the army, and said: "There is no unparalleled road. If the little zongzi wanted to harm us earlier, he would not wait until now. I don't think his original intention was to kill us." , Eighty percent of the intentions."

Tofu was not afraid of death, and said: "I think its intention is to trap us to death, and then turn us into zongzi, and stay here with it. Movies are shown like this." I raised my foot to kick, but Tofu dodged , Wronged: "We are all going to die, can't you be gentle with me?"

I sneered and said, "Then wait until you die."

Zhang Wen said: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, brother Chen, what you said just now is more reasonable, that little zongzi doesn't seem to be trying to harm people, you said it has to keep us here, what is it trying to do?" Everyone was puzzled I understand, but just staying with this group of corpses is really troublesome.The crowd prepared to leave along the way they came. Zhong Gong was standing in the corpse poison at the moment, and he was naturally at the end when he returned. It is estimated that the pile of corpses was too dense. When he moved, two of the corpses fell down. Then he rolled down the stone steps and rolled suddenly to my feet.

The body of the corpse was covered with corpse oil, probably because the nose was already immune, so I didn't think it smelled too bad, but at this moment, I suddenly found that the corpse that rolled down to my feet was quite different, its neck There was something that looked like an ornament hanging on the top, and a black sign was hanging underneath, which was familiar to me. I picked out the sign with a dagger, and when it was fully exposed, I recognized it instantly. It was a piece representing Sa The magic tablet full of wizards is very similar in appearance to the divine wood square earrings of Princess Geger I got before, but the engraved things inside are different.

My heart moved, and I said to myself: Could it be that this corpse is also a shaman?At this time, Zhong Gong was surprised and said: "Why did this corpse fall by itself? I didn't move." As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.

Tofu swallowed, and said: "Could it be... that it rolled down by itself?" Then he said to the corpse: "Brother, do you have something to do with us?"

Of course the corpse would not speak, I asked the tofu not to interrupt, and then I looked carefully at the shaman's god card, and found that it was engraved with a spiral-shaped thing, but this spiral was the same as before. The spiral patterns seen are different, because in this spirulina, there are two blood-red things.

I pointed to the sign and asked the tofu: "Say, what do these two red ones look like?"

Tofu thought for a while, and said, "Like a pair of... eyes hidden in the dark, looking creepy."

At this time, Zhuan Rui said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, these are a pair of eyes."

I understood what he meant, and asked, "Do you think that behind the golden gate is probably a living thing?" He didn't look happy or angry, nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking of a way.Tofu said: "Could it be something like a sleepy dragon again?"

At this time, Zhuan Rui seemed to think of something, suddenly, he frowned suddenly, and then stuck out his tongue and licked the skin of his mouth, giving people a very weird feeling.I thought something was wrong with him, but at this moment, I heard him say: "Maybe... I know what is behind that gate."

Tofu hurriedly said: "What is it?" Zhuan Rui shook his head and said, "I can't be sure now, I need an experiment, come with me." Passage, Zhuan Rui went all the way forward, heading for the location of the golden gate. '

I felt very puzzled in my heart, but I also knew that Zhuan Rui was not an unreliable person, so I didn't ask any further questions.After a while, the golden gate appeared in our eyes again, and the distance between us was about 20 meters.

At this time, Zhuan Rui stopped, looked at Tofu suddenly and said, "Stand here, don't move."

Tofu was confused, but still nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuanrui stretched out his hand, put out the head of the tofu, told him not to open it, and said, "In a moment, the rest of us will go to the gate, and we will turn off the lights. You will come back in three hours." Join us, and remember, no matter what happens, you can't advance or delay."

Zhuanrui's words were like listening to the heavenly scriptures. I couldn't think of any meaning at all. Tofu glanced at me, obviously asking: Do you want to do what he said?I frowned, nodded slightly, and signaled tofu to obey the arrangement.

Immediately afterwards, we walked into the area of ​​the fan-shaped gate according to the plan, and this time, those Huduo did not attack us again.The lighting range of the lamp head is only about 20 meters, so standing in front of the golden gate, I can only vaguely see the blurred outline of tofu in the light and darkness.

Immediately afterwards, we turned off the lights as planned.

Darkness will give people a sense of fear, because human nature is to fear unknown things, and darkness is the unknown.The moment the light was turned off, I felt a chill behind me, and the pair of blood-red eyeballs couldn't help popping up in my mind. In an instant, I even had an illusion, as if there was a pair of blood-red eyes in the gate behind me spying on me.I couldn't help turning my head to look, but there was still darkness behind me, and there were no eyeballs.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the darkness, and the footsteps obviously came from where Tofu was.I wondered in my heart, didn't I tell him not to move?What are you doing here now?Immediately afterwards, Zhuan Rui next to me turned on the headlight again, Tofu came over with Ouyang Xuan on his back and led the corpse fairy, confused, and said, "Three hours have passed, what are you going to do next?"

I looked at Tofu's innocent face, and was stunned for a moment, and something suddenly flashed through my mind.

To confirm, I said, "Xiaodou, are you sure you waited for three hours?"

Tofu is a little angry.Said: "It's so dark, and I'm not allowed to turn on the light. If it weren't for the wood beside me, I would have been scared to death...Pervert, why do you look like a ghost? Why are you looking at me like that? I know I'm long He's handsome, but I'm not gay, even if we are good buddies, I won't give in!" I opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word, Tofu said he had been waiting for three hours, but God knows, The rest of us just walked in and sat down for less than five seconds.

Where did these three hours come from?

Tofu doesn't lie, which is to say that our time was not the same after we stepped into this area of ​​the Golden Gate.Until this moment, I finally understood why there was such a change in the body of Know-it-all.

A sentence popped up in my mind: only a few months in the cave, thousands of years in the world.
