Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 200 Don't Breathe

Seeing this, Tofu shook his head and said, "Old Chen, your move is too bad. Why do I feel that the way you are holding them now is very similar to the way the dumb man was holding Wu Sidong just now."

At this time, the three Fusang people had been kicked to the opposite side by me, and the headlights hit them. The three people inside also looked very nervous, looking around cautiously, but it seemed that there was no danger.This made me feel a little surprised, because under normal circumstances, the closer to the main tomb, the more traps, and the door of the tomb is often an extremely dangerous place. It is really unusual for it to be so calm.

Compared with the three Fusang people inside who were relieved, I became nervous instead, and gestured to the people behind me, saying: "I'm afraid there is something weird inside, everyone be careful and follow me." After a while, We passed through the blasted hole and reached behind the door of the tomb.No wonder archaeologists hate tomb robbers. This group of Fusang people are violent and blow up whenever they encounter it, just like a cultural relic destroyer.

Behind the door of the tomb is a dark tomb passage, square and very spacious, which can accommodate seven or eight people to pass side by side.

As soon as I entered this tomb passage, I felt that something was wrong. The feeling of being peeped and the tightness of my back reappeared.I looked back almost immediately, but behind me, there was nothing but the heavy tomb door.

This place is very dark, and because the place is too wide, our headlights can't illuminate a large area. In the dark, the feeling of being peeped follows us everywhere, sometimes behind, sometimes beside us, sometimes above our heads .

Obviously, I was not the only one who felt this way, and the rest of the people also opened their heads and looked around frequently. Tofu swallowed, and said: "The curse said that there are countless eyes staring at us. place?"

I shook my head and let the three of them walk ahead.The three of them were naturally furious, but they couldn't resist. I held the movable handle of the shovel in my hand. Once the three of them faltered, they used the handle to pump. Tofu watched from the side and scolded me for being a pervert. I said : "Why don't you go ahead and go to the mine?"

Tofu choked for a moment, then said sternly: "Let's leave the technical work of Lei Lei to the great emperor's people."

I knew the virtue of tofu long ago, so I ignored him and drove the three of them to explore the way ahead, observing the surrounding environment from time to time.

That feeling is very weird, you can clearly feel that someone is watching, but no matter where you look, there are only silent and cold tomb walls around.The further I walked, the clearer the feeling was, and my strong sixth sense told me that there was danger ahead.

Animals have a strong sixth sense, as do humans, but this sixth sense has gradually weakened in the process of evolution, but it has not completely disappeared.Except for me, the rest of the people probably felt it too. Gu Wenmin, who was sweating all over his forehead, shook his head and said in a low voice: "We can't go anymore, we have to figure out what's going on. I have a kind of I have a hunch that if we go on like this blindly, we will all be finished."

The same was true for the three Fusang people, their faces were covered with white hairs, and I couldn't understand their muttering, and they didn't want to go forward anyway.

My heart skipped a beat, and I said to myself: What is it that arouses the sixth sense of all of us?Predictably, that thing is dangerous.

That danger should come from these gazes, but we haven't even seen a pair of eyes so far.

What exactly is following us?

Is it a ghost?
Thinking of this possibility, I said in my heart that it is better to deal with something visible than invisible, no matter how you say it, it is better to make it visible first.I threw the rope in my hand to Robot No. [-] for safekeeping, turned around and took out candles and incense from my backpack. Everyone saw that I was going to "invite incense to illuminate ghosts", and their expressions suddenly became tense.

I first took out a Jade Beauty and prepared to light it with a lighter, but who knows, the candle couldn't be lit at all.Tofu broke out in a cold sweat looking at it, and said, "Old Chen, could it be because the candle got water?"

I said: "Nonsense, the burden is waterproof, the candle has never been wet, even if it is, it will be fine, it is made of wax, not paper." While talking, I have lit it five or six times in a row, but The candle was still unburned.

The principle of the ghost panting is that the ghost's yin energy will turn the flames green, so as to judge whether there is anything unclean in the tomb, but now, even the candles cannot be ignited, what does this mean?I remembered a jingle that my grandfather told me before, "If the lights are not on, if you take the incense light, there will be fierce ghosts around you."

This sentence means that it is not uncommon to have soft rice dumplings in the ancient tomb, but if the lights are not lit, it means that there are more than one or two soft rice dumplings in the tomb, and it is likely that there are groups of soft rice dumplings. The qi is too strong, let alone the ghost panting, the yin qi alone is enough to suppress the yang fire.

When I thought of this, I really felt that since I entered this tomb passage, the surrounding temperature has dropped. Because I was too nervous, I didn't even notice the goose bumps.

I couldn't help scolding my mother, thinking it's bad luck, there isn't a single corpse in this place, how could it be so dark?

Since the candles couldn't be lit, I had to resort to the last move. I directly invited the incense, and everyone held their breaths. Fortunately, the incense was lit smoothly. I just breathed a sigh of relief, but everything that followed immediately made me scalp Numb.

Because when the incense is burning, the normal situation is first a wisp and then scattered, and the incense in my hand, the moment it is lit, the smoke spreads in all directions, and the burning speed becomes very fast, almost several times faster .

As if the smoke had encountered a smoking machine, it began to exceed the normal output. After a while, the area we were in was shrouded in thick smoke.

According to the rules handed down from the ancestors, it is said that after lighting the lamp and offering incense, we can see the prototype and position of the rice dumpling clearly. The large amount of smoke generated by the fast-burning incense made our eyes feel hot, and we subconsciously closed our eyes, not knowing what to do. When I opened it again, in the darkness, I heard Duan Fei's ear-piercing scream.

I was startled, and opened my eyes abruptly. Before I could see what was going on, I heard Tofu yelling, louder than Duan Fei. Immediately afterwards, this kid shrank back behind me, trembling. Said: "Help! There are... a lot of eyes on the wall."

I turned my gaze and looked directly at the opposite tomb wall, only to see blood-red eyes sprouting on the curtain wall amidst the lingering smoke.Those eyes are found almost everywhere, on the top of the head, on the two walls, and even under the feet. No matter where they are, their sights are all fixed on us.

The pair of blood-red eyeballs protruded from the wall, full of resentment, just looking at it, I felt my whole body tense, and when I opened my eyes, I saw such a scene, no wonder Tofu and Duan Fei screamed in fright.I subconsciously glanced at Gu Wenmin, and found that her face was pale with fright, her lips were trembling, but she didn't cry out.

Looking at her thin body, I felt an urge to hold her in my arms, but when I thought of the curse of Gui Shezhimian and the experience of Tofu almost dying, my enthusiasm was poured cold water. You can only force yourself to look away.

I know that the gaze I felt before came from these eyes. They were hidden in the tomb wall, and we couldn't see them before, but after offering incense now, they showed their original shape and were exposed to our sight

Duan Fei jumped into my arms in fright, didn't dare to look, and said with a weeping voice, "Brother Chen, what should we do, let's go out." Duan Fei pushed away from me and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, there is me, I will protect you." She stood in front of me while talking.

He knew there was something going on between Gu Wenmin and me, and he was afraid that Duan Fei's messing up would make things worse, so he immediately stood up as a shield.

When the tofu was interrupted, I stood up, holding the incense in one hand and the dagger in the other, knowing that I couldn't sit still, so I approached the tomb wall step by step, enduring those venomous gazes, and observed these things at a close distance.

Yes, only the eyeballs, which seem to grow out of stone, and seem to be doing nothing but staring at us.

Professor Lin said: "These things haven't caused trouble yet, so let's not act rashly." The crowd continued to move forward. The three Fusang people had never seen such a battle before, and they were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and their legs were shaking. Not to mention thundering, I can't even stand firmly, but I have to let the robots walk on the back.

Even if I lead the way, holding the incense in my hand, I will lead the crowd forward.

Where the cigarette couldn't reach, the wall of the tomb was flat. As soon as the smoke drifted past, those blood-red eyes immediately appeared.In this weird and terrifying atmosphere, I felt uncomfortable all over, and walked in the forefront with breathless concentration, while paying attention to the movement around me.

I don't know exactly how these things were formed, but Xu Fu, an old man, will not do useless things. This is probably some kind of sorcery, and there must be something weird about it.Fortunately, our ancestors later invented the trick of inviting the ghosts. Now we can see these invisible enemies, pay attention to their changes, and prevent them in advance.

At this moment, in the dark tomb passage, there was a sudden crunching sound, a bit like grinding teeth, and a bit like fingernails scratching glass, and it made people's teeth tighten.The voice sounded abruptly, it was very small at first, but gradually increased.

Tofu grabbed my arm with his only available hand, then gestured to the surrounding walls with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "The sound seems to come from inside the wall."
