Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 688 Mummy
As the coffin cover moved, there was a dull rubbing sound, and more and more of the hand resting on the side of the coffin cover were gradually revealed, followed by a blue sleeve.

When I saw this color, I felt a flash of joy in my heart, because I remembered that Lili, a female doctor, had a blue windbreaker.At such a time, it is indeed a bit unkind to have a flash of joy, but I don't bother to blame myself.

Soon, half of the coffin was opened, and from this half of the space, we can already see the scene inside the coffin.The dead body inside was Lili, a girl who was not very pretty but was quite pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, her face was covered by bruises and dried blood.

The bruises are blood accumulation after death, and those blood clots seem to be spit out from the mouth.The corpse was lying on its back, its eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs were already showing signs of protruding, which looked extremely terrifying.Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else in the coffin, it was empty.

How did she die?

Soon, on her body, I found two gunshot wounds, one on the arm and one on the thigh, but these were not fatal wounds, the real fatal wound should be in the mouth, her lip was completely rotten , as if he had been injured before he died.

The lazy guy didn't seem to care about such a bloody scene at all. He was wearing gloves, so he touched Lili's lips with his fingers without any psychological pressure. As the rotten lips were parted, I immediately saw her The teeth were also broken, as if they had been hit by something hard.

Her mouth was so stuffed with blood clots that she couldn't even see her tongue.All of a sudden, I realized that the real fatal wound should be in her mouth. Most of the broken teeth were shot by a gun. The bullet directly hit her mouth, causing her death.

I was a little startled: who did this?
Wenmin?Team Liu?Or the dead Qin Shi?

The shot went straight into the mouth, and the aim was excellent. Then Qin Shi is a photographer and has never played with guns, so it should not be him.The greatest possibility is that he died at the hands of Wen Min or Liu Dui.It is impossible for Wen Min to kill people at will. If it was her, then something must have happened to Lili.

Why did she shoot the mouth specifically?I immediately thought of the long tongue before, and wondered if Lili had also been parasitized?That's why there's such a thing?
At this moment, the thing in Lili's mouth is obviously gone. I pondered it for a while and made a series of speculations in my mind.It is estimated that Lili was the first to be parasitized, and then Wen Min or Liu Dui shot to protect themselves. Unexpectedly, after Lili died, the thing got out of her body again and parasitized into Liu Dui's body.

This parasitic process should be relatively secret, otherwise Qin Shi would not have been carrying Liu Dui behind his back.So, now the three people in the team are dead, only Wen Min is left, where is she?

Based on my understanding of Wen Min, in such an environment, she is likely to make two decisions. The first is to find a way to find Liu Dui and Qin Shi after discovering that they have disappeared; the second is to retreat from the sacrificial altar first. Get out and wait for our rendezvous.

Along the way, we didn't find Wen Min's whereabouts, so she probably chose the second path. When she found that the strange situation in this place was beyond her ability to handle, she chose to withdraw and wait for support.Thinking of this possibility, I breathed a sigh of relief, and put Lili's hand beside the coffin back into the coffin.

Taking one last look at her, I signaled the lazy guy to put the lid on the coffin.No one spoke during the whole process, lazy people are too lazy to talk, and I am a taboo person who is yin and yang, so I didn't open my mouth.Those who fight against each other are very taboo to speak to the corpse in the coffin. The dead corpse is infected with the yang energy of a living person, and it is easy to transform into a dead body.I have no confidence in my luck at all. In the words of tofu, it is bad luck.The protagonist in the TV series, if you fall into a cave, you will be an expert, and if you fall off a cliff, you will have a cheat, but I am the corpse who rises when the corpse is seen, and the coffin opens when the coffin is opened.

I don't want to prove the unlucky physique brought about by this curse again.

In silence, the two of us pushed the coffin lid, ready to put it back on.

However, at this moment, the movement of the lazy man's hand suddenly paused, and then he stared at the coffin.

My heart skipped a beat, my eyes suddenly shifted to Lili, and I thought to myself, damn it, it won't really be a dead body, right?However, at a glance, the corpse is still the same as before, it hasn't moved, let alone the long hair, and it doesn't look like a dead body.

That being the case, what are the lazy people looking at?
I gave him a questioning look, but the lazy man didn't speak, but suddenly reached into the coffin, grabbed Lili's hair, and violently lifted the already stiff corpse out of the coffin. It was thrown aside with a bang.

Although I knew that Lazy is a sadistic and easy to kill, I didn't expect him to be like this. Youdao is that the dead are the most important, but he is also our fellow traveler. Everyone is dead, how can he be so vicious?A flash of anger flashed in my heart, I looked at Lili's body beside me, and said in a deep voice, "You've had enough, keep a line in everything."

He threw the corpse aside, but he didn't even look at it. He just cast a lazy and indifferent look at my words, and then looked into the coffin again.I followed his gaze and realized that there was something in the coffin.

It was a thin mummy, about the size of a young man, it was pressed under Lili before, so it was not found.I was a little surprised, and then I understood what the lazy guy did just now, but the behavior of throwing the corpse away was still very disgusting.

Harichagai on the side also came up, and the three of us died together, blocking the open space around the coffin.Harichagai sat down on another coffin, stared at the mummy in the coffin, clicked his tongue, and said, "Strange, strange."

I saw that this mummy was very strange, and its whole body was tied up with ropes. That kind of rope was the black rope on the bronze wheel before.The rope tied the mummy tightly, and the mummy's mouth was wide open, and there seemed to be something in the mouth.

I tilted the light slightly, and the light shot into his mouth, but I couldn't see anything, only a dark hole, the throat and the like had already been glued together, and the inside of the hole was full of oil. corpse oil.

I felt my throat was a little dry and coughed uncomfortably.

Harichagai said: "Tell me, why is this corpse tied up? It looks young. Could it be that he committed some crime during his lifetime?" Harichagai is not a professional inversion after all, so this speculation is very unreliable , so I corrected: "How can a person who can be put into a cellar coffin be a prisoner?" Putting these corpses on the altar to suppress 01 is not so much a crime, but more like some kind of sacrifice. Otherwise, these corpses should have been buried and hidden.”

When Harichagai heard this, he gave a thumbs up with a smile, and said, "The interlacing is like a mountain, as expected of a professional. You mean, these corpses were actually used for sacrifices during their lifetime?" I nodded.Team Liu had already said that the people in the ancient city of swallowing silkworms would conduct sacrificial activities every year, and use the power of Tianyan to suppress 01. This kind of sacrifice is likely to use these living people to sacrifice to Tianyan.

At this moment, Tian Tianyan is placed in my equipment bag. This small thing has such great power. I don't know if the record on the cauldron is true or not.Is it an exaggerated myth of the ancients, or can it really borrow the so-called 'divine' power?

But at this moment, Lazy suddenly said: "These ropes are tied too tightly."

I subconsciously said: "Probably because I'm afraid they will struggle. These people should have been sealed in coffins alive. It's really cruel."

However, the lazy guy was obviously dissatisfied with my answer. He glanced at me, pointed to the corpse, and reminded: "The corpse and the rope should not be attached so tightly." When he reminded me, I suddenly realized A thing we ignore.

If the rope was attached while alive, it is normal to be tight against the flesh.But in the process of the qualitative change of the corpse, dehydration, muscle atrophy, and finally turning into a mummy, the whole corpse shrinks and deforms, so the rope should also be loosened accordingly.

But now, these ropes are tightly strangling the mummy.

In this way, there is only one possibility, that is, these corpses already looked like this before they were put into the coffin, but they were strangled with ropes.

But what's the point of binding a mummy like this?
Could it be that these corpses showed signs of necrosis?

When I was thinking about the reason for this, the lazy guy suddenly turned his gaze and looked to the right. That position is a square entrance. Judging from this non-circular arch shape, we have obviously left underground.

His ears moved slightly, staring at the dark entrance, said: "Someone is coming."

I don't doubt his words. In this regard, lazy people have almost never made mistakes. He said that he came from a human being, so he would not be a ghost.

Apart from us, the only possible living person in this place seems to be Wen Min.

Is it her?
