Tomb Raiders: Evacuate the Bronze Door

Chapter 101 Listening to the Soul Bottle, The Interrupted Corpse Transformation

The two thin old coffins were smashed into pieces by the fat man a few times.

Two slightly strange corpses fell out of the coffin directly.

However, because half of the two coffins were built into the wall, it was not very smooth when the corpses fell out.

The broken coffin board got stuck and slipped to the ground.

Fatty Wu Xie, Zhou Fan's younger brother, all watched intently.

These two corpses were extremely pale.

Not the dead white of a normal corpse.

And it seems to have been painted with a layer of blue-gray light, that kind of dirty, very decayed white mucous membrane.

Everyone squatted down and placed a few black paper lanterns around the two corpses, illuminating them like shadowless lamps.

Wu Xie took a sharp breath, and said in a slightly regretful tone:
"Have the skins of these two corpses been peeled off?"

"The faded mucous membranes pasted on their bodies now don't look like the fascia under their own skin?"

"Is this a kind of corpse change?"

"But their corpse change was interrupted?"

The fat man winked at Wu Xie and said:
"Innocent, why did I vaguely detect a little bit of regret from your tone of voice, 'Damn it, there's no room for a hero'?"

"This time, naively, you didn't double the corpses of these two half-turned corpses to the fraudulent corpses, aren't you surprised?"

After Wu Xie rolled his eyes at Fatty.

The fat man changed his serious expression again, stared at the two corpses, and said with his hands in his hands:
"To be honest, these two corpses don't seem to be completely dead."

"Tianzhen missed this time, ahem, the passive 'deceitful aura' has failed, this thing is a bit weird instead."

Zhou Fan's brother, Fatty, all took a look at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie suddenly said with a tangled face:

"To be honest, I don't understand the passive innate skill of opening the coffin and raising the corpse."

"I don't know when I will be able to retract freely and lift weights as lightly as possible?"

Zhou Fan took the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword and patted the two strange corpses lightly on several different places.

With a bang, the two corpses immediately turned over.

A "small mechanism" on their backs was exposed.

It's like the bottom of an old-fashioned piggy bank, the kind of groove that can be rotated open.

As long as you rotate the groove under the piggy bank, you can take out the coins stored inside without smashing the piggy bank.

Everyone saw that there was also a palm-sized groove on the backs of these two corpses.

The shape is very similar to that of a gift boxed wine bottle, with a dingable groove dug out of a piece of sponge.

Then put the wine bottle into the groove.

On the backs of these two corpses, in their carrion, someone had cut the grooves for two bottles with a knife.

There is also a layer of decayed white mucous membrane inside, pasted in the groove of the corpse.

Two small snow-white porcelain vases.

The porcelain vase is very delicate, with light patterns on it.

The fat man smacked his lips, tapped the soles of his feet on the ground, folded his arms and said:
"This girl is really artistic."

"Is this the dead body that is being transformed into a gift box?"

"Fatty, this is the first time I've seen this 'meat bag' style."

"These two corpses are not the brackets used for business in the ghost market, are they?"

Wu Xie said with a blue face:
"In the past, in the story books, I only heard that some rich and unkind local tyrants treated servants not as people, but as objects."

"For example, they don't use tables, chairs, benches, candle holders, etc. at home."

"Instead, let the servants kneel or lie on the ground, and use them as tables, chairs, benches and candle holders."

"I didn't expect this to be more ruthless."

"It's just peeling and digging up a corpse. Isn't this just used as a gift box?"

The bodies of Zhou Fan and the younger brother were respectively covered with the power of the stars to protect the body and the golden blood of the unicorn who returned to the ancestors.

Reaching out his hands, he picked out the two small bottles from the grooves on the backs of the two corpses.

Wu Xie and Fatty suddenly showed surprised expressions.

Wu Xie blinked, and asked puzzledly:
"Old Zhou, little brother, aren't these two corpses no longer able to continue to transform into corpses?"

"Why are you still so vigilant?"

Zhou Fan and the little brother signaled Wu Xie and Fatty, and they stepped back a few meters together, slightly increasing the distance from the two bodies that fell to the ground.

Although Wu Xie and Fatty still looked dazed, they immediately raised their vigilance.

The palms of their hands instantly grasped the weird miniature bows and arrows and the weird drums hanging from their belts.

Zhou Fan turned the small porcelain bottle inside to Wu Xie and Fatty, and said:
"Don't be too nervous for now."

"However, these two corpses will resume their actions later."

"However, after they act for a short period of time, they will really die completely."

"Because the two small porcelain vases inlaid on them are 'soul vases'."

The little brother also handed over the small porcelain bottle in his hand.

Wu Xie and Fatty stared blankly at the two small porcelain vases.

All I saw were two typical old porcelain vases.

The shape and configuration of the small porcelain bottle is quite brief, with a silky smooth feeling.

However, the patterns on them are not only full of vulgar beauty, but also have a strange sense of mystery.

On the top of the small porcelain bottle, near the mouth of the bottle, is an enchanting and excessive lotus flower.

Generally speaking, the words lotus and enchanting do not go together.

Generally speaking, lotus flowers have noble and elegant implication and temperament.

But the lotus flowers on these two small porcelain vases not only look magnificent, but also have a demonic aura.

The fat man gasped and said:
"Let's not care about this stuff for the time being, it was drawn by a master who deviates from the aesthetics."

"But this painter really has nothing to choose."

"It's just the aesthetics that are too twisted. Fatty, I'm in Panjiayuan and various ancient tombs. I don't see many real ones, but there are so many fake ones."

"This is the first time I have seen a lotus in this shape."

On both sides of the belly of the small porcelain vase, there are two peonies.

This peony flower is also completely different from the usual magnificent, noble and luxurious temperament.

The peony flower here is a withered and decayed look.

But it's not just mere dryness.

Instead, it seems that it is possible to get from a dry state at any time, like a dragon's claws, to tear the porcelain bottle with claws and claws, and directly scratch the body of the person closest to the porcelain bottle.

Wu Xie frowned tightly as she looked at the peony patterns on the two small porcelain vases.

But what made Wu Xie even more uneasy.

On the belly of the small porcelain bottle, a gossip pattern was drawn with very light ink.

And those two dry peony flowers, which revealed that they seemed to be about to activate the corpse fraud mode at any time, were the two "small balls" in the gossip pattern.

The fat man said in amazement:
"If it is a soul bottle, this kind of thing is very common."

"It's just that the usual tomb owner just regards this kind of decoration as an ornament."

"It means that the soul of the owner of the tomb is not allowed to wander around, and I don't know where the three souls and seven souls are thrown."

"But for these two soul bottles, the dead corpse is used as a shelf."

"According to Master Fatty, if you go inside, there must be an ancient tomb for demons."

"The owner of the tomb is definitely not a good stubble."

"Well, it must be a pervert with a twisted heart in general, and he didn't run away."

Wu Xie had seen Zhou Fan and his younger brother's expressions before, and already had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he was still puzzled at this time, so he asked:
"So are there any other evil things hidden on these two soul bottles?"

"Otherwise, Lao Zhou and the younger brother, you two, wouldn't be so vigilant, would you?"

The little brother reached out and took the two small porcelain bottles into his hands, and said to everyone:

"Listen."

After all, the little brother directly and lightly held the two soul bottles, the bottoms of the bottles were facing each other, and the speed was extremely fast, but there was a slight bump with the movement.

Ding.

Hey.

A series of layer upon layer, clear yet dull, surprising echoes of porcelain echoed back and forth in this tomb passage.

The little brother squatted on the ground.

With his left hand, he knocked one of the soul bottles upside down on the ground.

The right hand kept hitting the other soul bottle upside down on the ground repeatedly, with a very fast speed and light movements.

Hear the voice in everyone's ears.

First, there was the sound of overlapping porcelain.

After a few seconds, there was complete silence.

Everyone had a slight tinnitus.

It's just that the sound of this tinnitus changed from a slight, direct and extremely fast to a sharp whistling sound.

Wu Xie's and Fatty's faces were instantly livid.

I only felt a burst of magic sound piercing my brain, and my whole consciousness was drowsy, but I was completely unable to think or even fall into a coma because of the interference of that abnormal sharp sound.

Simply, all these movements only lasted for a few seconds.

Calm was restored again.

Just now.

A chattering and lively discussion sound, from the depths of the ancient tomb, passed through the superposition of these two soul bottles, and directly reached the ears of everyone.

It was obviously a bustling scene, with countless people bargaining back and forth with various emotions.

Wu Xie widened his eyes in astonishment, and said in surprise:

"Isn't this the sound of bargaining coming from the ghost market under the ancient tomb?"

"But we haven't gotten into this decaying wooden ship before."

"I heard a small burst of voices coming from the ghost city, but I couldn't really hear the other words, and I didn't even know what they were talking about."

"I can only hear countless layers calling my name."

"But this time, I can really hear the voices of bargaining back and forth inside."

The fat man also held his hand and said:
"If it wasn't for the wrong place and my eyes were closed, I would have returned to the time when Panjiayuan's business was booming."

"More than that, this traffic is even more than those who crowded to burn incense on New Year's Day."

Click.

But it hasn't waited for everyone to find any particularly useful information from the mixed discussions.

There were several cracks on the top of the two soul bottles.

The little brother stopped instantly.

With a twist of his fingers, the two soul bottles turned up and down in his palm.

The younger brother's face was solemn at this time, staring intently at the two soul bottles in his hand.

It seems that there is something inside these two soul bottles.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other.

"What are you doing, little brother?"

"Why can this soul bottle make sound again?"

"But these two soul bottles are too overwhelming, right?"

"It's already cracked before I understand it? Damn, what quality is this?"

Zhou Fan smiled and said:

"The voice just now did not come from the inside of the soul bottle."

"These two soul bottles, under the operation of my brother, are equivalent to the legendary 'earth listening'."

"It is to be able to eavesdrop at any time, the sound of something that has undergone a corpse change nearby."

"The most important thing is that we can 'forcibly translate' the tones uttered by the dead bodies that we can't understand into normal human words."

"So, this 'ground listening soul bottle' is actually quite practical."

"It's a pity that the output of this kind of stuff is very small."

"And when using it, you need the hand speed of my little brother, which most people can't do."

"Although it's not as fast as the inhuman way that my brother flicked through those tens of thousands of photos, it's extremely difficult to achieve the speed of my brother just now."

"The most important point is that the corpses of these two soul bottles also came from that ghost market, so we can use these two ground listening soul bottles to eavesdrop on the words inside."

"And the direction of the crack on the soul bottle is actually a kind of guiding map arrow."

"It's just that the quality of this thing is really bad. After a few times of use, it will be completely scrapped."

Wu Xie scratched his head and asked curiously:

"Old Zhou, it seems that you know what the little brother is doing so focused at the moment?"

The fat man was also curious, and said:

"Brother, when he is not fighting to the death, this kind of breath-holding state is quite rare."

Zhou Fan smiled and said:

"You guys still remember, my little brother said it before."

"He and Heixiazi discovered the real and useful things when we went to the nursing home more than [-] years ago."

"There is an offering that devours the smell of 'severe stench'."

Wu Xie asked nervously:
"Could it be that the reason why these two corpses were interrupted, and I didn't 'double the corpse'."

"Is it because of these two 'ground listening soul bottles'?"

The fat man scratched his head and said:

"I thought it was the layer on the two corpses, something like a fish membrane, that blocked the rotten smell of their bodies."

"It seems that it was absorbed by these two listening soul bottles?"

Zhou Fan used the bamboo lion seal to make a small bamboo tube.

The little brother hummed, and the two ground listening soul bottles that were constantly spinning in his hands stopped.

With a serious expression, the little brother dripped the liquid in the two porcelain bottles into the small bamboo tube.

tick.

Two drops of crimson blood with dark green lines dripped down.

Wu Xie murmured:
"What is this? That's it?"

The little brother put the two listening soul bottles into his pocket casually, and said lightly:
"These two corpses and the soul bottle are not very good."

Click it.

However, when those two strange liquids dripped down the soul bottle into the small bamboo tube.

The two corpses lying on the ground like mud, jumped up, like fish thrown on the chopping board.

He thumped vigorously.
