Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 492 Missing
Tofu sniffled, smelling the fragrance of the mutton, swallowed hard, and stretched out his hand to grab it.Harichagai clapped his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smirk on his lips, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, just exchange things."

I thought this kid was a little crazy, so I asked, "What do you want?"

Harichagai pointed to the surroundings and said, "I heard that you can read Fengshui, what do you think of this place's Fengshui?"

I just thought it was funny and said: "The origin of Fengshui is a way for the ancients to distinguish geography and combine mountains and rivers to judge whether it is suitable for survival. There are no vegetation in this place, poisonous insects are everywhere, and the water flow is cut off. Do you think Fengshui is good?"

Harichagai shrugged, divided the roasted mutton strips into four piles, folded some wooden sticks and distributed them to us as chopsticks, and said: "We chat while eating, my mother is Han, and there are many ethnic minorities here. The appearance of Han people is also very different, so I count 0 as mixed blood."

I said: "I can see it." Harichagai has a straight nose and a distinct face shape. He has the profound outline of the Mongols and the soft facial features of the Han people. People can see that he is of mixed race at a glance.

While eating the mutton strips, Tofu said: "Mixed races are usually handsome and beautiful, why are you so stupid?" Tofu's words were purely to find fault.Harichagai raised his eyebrows, with a smirk on his face, and said, "Aren't I embarrassed, let's go to the bar and sit down later; old man, let's see if the girl is going to your place or to my place."

Tofu was choked and couldn't explain it. He became angry and said, "Old, old man? You... you young people, who are only thinking about picking up girls, can't you have some lofty ideals? Learn from those who went to space. Pilot, don’t you feel ashamed when you think about those submariners who stay in the depths of the sea! Talking to you is worthless, sleep!”

After the tofu was pissed off, the three of us continued to eat around the fire. During this period, Harichagai was able to find topics, amuse himself, and kept smiling. Unlike Lu Su's gentle and friendly smile, this young man With a very publicized vitality, I never felt that I was old, but after spending a day with him, I suddenly felt that I should do more energetic things to make my mentality younger.

Thinking this way, we had enough food, so we put insect repellent tablets on the fire, and then got into the tent and fell asleep.Since we were small, we brought a big tent for four people. I slept in the tent with Tofu and Zhuanrui, and Harichagai slept in the car. He listened to music on the stereo, but he kept his voice down. , so as not to disturb us.

This sleep was deep, and I don’t know how long it took. I was suddenly awakened by the tofu. I opened my eyes and saw that the light outside the tent was indistinctly penetrating into the tent. Tofu’s face was flickering. Old Chen, that ha or something is missing."

gone?
I rubbed my forehead and sat up propped up, only to find that the curtain of the tent was open.Seeing my gaze, Tofu immediately explained: "I didn't eat enough at night, I woke up hungry, got up to look for something to eat, and there was no one in the car,"

Zhuan Rui also woke up at some point, opened the tent and said, "I'll go out and have a look."

When we got out of the tent, we saw that the bonfire outside the tent was about to go out, and our car was parked six or seven meters away from the bonfire.I leaned forward and saw that there was no one in the car.But at this time, Zhuan Rui was keenly observant, patted my shoulder, pointed to a row of footprints on the other side of the vehicle, and winked at me.

This line of footprints extends from the ground on the side of the driver's seat. Because the Gobi-shaped ground is relatively hard, the footprints are not deep, and they are intermittent. Then the bonfire is dancing, and you can see this series of footprints extending toward the depths of the darkness. go.

I couldn't help hissing, thinking that there is no human habitation in this place, even if I get up in the middle of the night to release water, I can't walk so far, right?I gave Zhuan Rui a wink and asked him, is the so-called young wizard I found reliable or not? Don't you think it's weird?

One half of Zhuan Rui's face was wearing a mask, and the remaining half of his face was handsome. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if dissatisfied. Immediately afterwards, he took out a pistol from his equipment bag and put it in his sleeve. With a flashlight, he took the lead. Go into the dark.

From the looks of it, if Hari Chagai was doing something shady, Zhuan Rui would probably lose his temper.Tofu and I followed closely, and saw that the footprints extended to a hole-shaped red rock formation, with a narrow path in the middle. I don't know what Nahar Chagai was doing in it.The three of us looked at each other, feeling even more confused for a while.But the three of us are all experienced and have seen big scenes. Although the situation in front of us is a little unclear, how can we be afraid, even if we enter it with a flashlight.

Under the light, the surrounding red rocks are full of strange things. Looking around, they are full of large and small holes with irregular shapes. The night wind blows by, and thousands of holes make all kinds of weird sounds, mixed together. , like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

I subconsciously looked up and found that the moon could not be seen tonight.

For some reason, an ominous premonition arose in my heart, and I thought that it was only the first day I entered the Gobi, so there must be something wrong?At this moment, my eyes flashed, and a turquoise human face suddenly flashed in my sight!
The human face was hiding behind one of the holes, as if waiting for us, and seemed to be peeping all the time, not to mention how horrifying it was.I was shocked, my heart sank suddenly, and I was almost about to scream, but at this moment, Zhuan Rui, who was holding a flashlight, suddenly changed his figure, and his side blocked the light In an instant, that blue face suddenly plunged into darkness.

But I know it's still there!

The long-term vigilance made me jump forward suddenly, so as to stagger away from the face facing each other in the dark, at least this can avoid a frontal attack.But as soon as I staggered away, I suddenly remembered that the tofu was still behind me, and I quickly said to Zhuan Rui: "Don't leave, there is a situation!"

Zhuan Rui turned his head suddenly when he heard the words, and the lights followed suit.Tofu obviously didn't understand what was going on, with a dazed expression on his face, but at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from a hole beside him.

It wasn't until then that I realized that the figure that sprang out from the darkness was the missing Harichagai.At the position of his chest, there was a blue-green cold smoke sticking out impressively, and the miserable green light reflected his face into blue.It turned out that the turquoise face I had just caught a glimpse of was actually him.

Tofu was startled, and opened his mouth suddenly to breathe out, but Ha Richagai covered his mouth, and then he shook his head slightly at us, signaling us to keep quiet.

Zhuanrui and I didn't know what kind of tricks he was up to, but seeing that he probably couldn't do anything right now, we nodded, and then he let go of his hand covering the tofu, and then made a silent gesture , pointing to the place where he jumped out just now, motioning for us to follow.

Tofu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with mouth gestures: It's salty, he must have not washed his hands for a long time.

I glared at Tofu and signaled him to shut up. Immediately afterwards, I followed behind Harichagai, and the four of them circled into a very narrow triangular area.There are red rocks all around, and there are some holes from time to time. Through these holes, you can observe the surrounding environment. It is really a good place to hide and peep.

What did he bring us here for?
At this time, Haricagai gestured again, motioning us to squat down.This place is relatively narrow, and the four of us felt very crowded after a meal, and we could barely move.Tofu wriggled around and asked Harichagai with lip shapes: What are you going to do?
Harichagai pointed to the flashlight in Zhuanrui's hand again, signaling to turn off the light.Zhuan Rui squinted his eyes, but did not follow suit.Harichagai shook his head, indicating that he still has cold smoke, and then lowered his voice very low, and said in a voice close to breath: in a moment, something will come out, turn off the light.

Zhuanrui raised his eyebrows, and finally turned off the flashlight, and soon, there was only the dim light of the cold fireworks in this place. In the narrow space, four miserable green faces looked at each other.

Under the miserable green light, Harichagai still had a smirk on his face, and his fiery red hair drooped obediently, forming a weird contrast with his green face.Just when I was feeling puzzled, suddenly, Tofu's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen something unbelievable, he stared straight ahead.At that position, there happened to be a hole the size of a basketball.My heart moved, I followed his gaze, and suddenly found that through this hole, I peeked over, and at some point, black shadows crawled on the ground.

Since there is almost no light here, I can't see what it is at all. I can only vaguely feel that it looks like people crawling on the ground with all fours, but their hands and legs are thin, like a body. The mummy is crawling. This situation makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

I thought to myself, could it be that Harichagai just let us watch this?

What are those?
