Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 38 Many Corpses
The only light source in the room is the weak flashlight in our hands. There is no land left unused here, so the room layout is relatively large, and it is dark on all sides, and nothing can be seen at a glance.

Since the only light source for lighting is a flashlight, the four of us did not move separately, and started to search next to the bottom of the wall. As a result, we just walked into the bottom of the wall when we saw a very horrifying scene.

At the bottom of the wall, there were several corpses in white linen standing neatly and straightly.

There are corpses of all ages, with their eyes closed tightly, and their expressions are serene. I saw a lot of horrible mummy just now, and now I see these serene corpses in front of me. There is no element of fear. Even the tofu boldly said: " These few seem to be easy to talk to, why are they in this old man's room?"

Mao Rooster stammered: "I heard that the corpses will not be too far away from the mortician. Could it be that these are the corpses that the mortician brought?"

Hearing this, Gu Wenmin looked a little puzzled, and said slowly: "If that's the case, then who brought those corpses outside?"

Yes.The corpses in the room were chased away by the old man on the bed.So who chased away so many corpses outside?

I recalled what I saw in the crack of the door, the tall and thin figure holding a lantern, and another guess came to my mind for a moment: Could it be that the old man is not the only one exorcising the mortician here?

Did any other exorcists die in this place?
The corpses they chased away were also left here with their deaths?
What happened in this Yinyang Liubu Village back then?
At this moment, the sound of the wind and rain outside seemed to have stopped, and the corpses outside the door were motionless. We stood in front of these corpses holding our breath, and countless thoughts passed through our minds.

Before these thoughts were formed, a gust of cold wind came from nowhere in the darkness, and swept past our necks. Everyone shrank their necks in unison. Then, there was another bell ringing, but it was me before. The soul-destroying bell placed on the table was swirled by the cold wind and fell to the ground.

In the dark night, the ringing of the bell was very clear, my heart skipped a beat for a moment, the secret path was not good, if the bell moved, I was afraid something would happen.Subconsciously, we all moved our eyes to the door, fearing that those quiet things would go crazy again, but this time it seemed lucky that the bell did not disturb the corpses outside.

Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It seems that this old man is helping us, and the bell won't work this time." Gu Wenmin also showed a smile on his always serious face. In this tense and dark environment, bringing With a hint of warmth, she said: "It seems that God and Buddha have heard your prayer..." She seemed to have something to say behind her, but suddenly, her eyes paused, the smile on her face froze, and her slightly upward The corners of his mouth gradually turned into a straight line, he stared at a corner in the darkness, and said, "Did you notice just now, how many corpses are there in front of us?"

I recalled it, and said: "Six. Three tall, two short and one small... Hey, wait, why is the small one missing?" In the darkness, the last corpse of a child that was originally at the back, somehow At that time, it disappeared without a trace.

Obviously it was there just now.

The hairy rooster was confused, and said: "Oh, my grandma, what kind of bad luck did I have this time?" At this time, he stopped stuttering.

Ever since Tofu arrived at the gate of ghosts, he was frightened one after another. He was so frightened that he felt a ruthless energy and cursed: "Fuck his grandma, you really think our brothers are soft persimmons, and dare to rely on any monsters and monsters!" Come here." Then he picked up the tripod in his hand, made three into one, waved it heavily in his hand, and said: "Old Chen, take a flashlight and see where that thing is hiding. Tigers don't shoot cats, they think I'm critically ill! Master Dou will order wild dogs to eat bear bile today, and fight these ghosts."

I also complained endlessly in my heart, the outside was still surrounded, and something happened inside.So, people are unlucky, and drinking cold water will get stuck between their teeth.I am not a person who is afraid of things. When Tofu said this, my fire was also lit. Waving the things in my hand, I walked towards the dark corner along the light of the flashlight, and said to Tofu: "I'll go, don't you Follow me."

Tofu said: "Good brother, we live and die together, I can't let you take risks alone at this time!"

I said: "Xiaodou, I accept your wish. But before you and I die together, can you stop shaking your legs? Your pants are going to fucking fall off."

Gu Wenmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, lowered her voice and looked around nervously, said: "Chen Xuan, at this time, you two should stop fighting each other, and quickly find the one that disappeared." At this moment, while I was talking to Tofu, We have already moved to the corner, and as soon as the light came closer, a figure squatting with his back facing us appeared in the dark corner. The figure seemed to be digging something on the ground. After feeling our light, suddenly, unexpectedly child disappeared.

I shouted: "Here!" Since the place is close to the corner of the bed and the place is narrow, no second person can squeeze in, so I can only rush forward immediately, and the child has long since disappeared without a trace.

Tofu rushed up after the second one, stared at the corner of the wall, and said in surprise: "Perverted Chen, are you scared stupid? There is nothing here!"

"There must be." I said: "Pay attention to your surroundings, it is probably hidden, look under the bed." Tofu then lay down on the ground and looked under the bed, while I observed the place above my head to prevent it from acting like the previous one. Like cats hiding above our heads, but there is nothing on it.

At this moment, Tofu violently tugged at my trouser legs, and said in shock: "There is a big black hole under the bed."

Big hole?

Why is there a hole under the bed?Could it be possible that the thing went into a hole?
I hurriedly got down too, and sure enough, under the foot of the bed, only ten centimeters away from us, there was a big square hole. When I fired the flashlight, there was a wooden staircase in the hole, just like the ones built in the countryside in the past. Stairs to the cellar.

The light is weak, and the visible range is only about four meters. The stairs are relatively deep, and four meters away is a piece of darkness.

The thing that disappeared suddenly just now must have deflected from the spot and entered this underground passage directly.

Gu Wenmin and the two stood on the outside, unable to see what was going on below. Although she hadn't been with her for a long time, she was much more reliable than Mao Rooster. She stood on the outside to watch for us. At this moment, she gasped suddenly. , said; "Someone."

I was lying on my stomach looking at the hole at the bottom of the bed, it was very inconvenient for me to turn around and asked casually, "Who is it?"

Before Gu Wenmin could reply, Mao Rooster trembled and said, "There... outside our door, there is a... lantern."

Bring a lantern?Isn't that the man I saw through the crack in the door?I secretly thought it was bad, this person is probably the exorcist manipulating the corpse, it is not clear whether it is a person or a ghost, if you let him in, it will be over.

In desperation, I said, "Don't make a sound, hurry up, go down this tunnel and hide for a while."

Tofu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said: "You can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day." He gritted his teeth, and a look of sternness flashed across his gentler face, and said, "Why don't you go down first, and I'll watch outside. What does it look like, if it’s a human being, I’ll kill him.”

I saw that Tofu was terrified, not to mention killing people, he didn't even dare to kill chickens, and now he was inspired to be ruthless for everyone's safety.But I know that being ruthless is not enough. Tofu is a frail scholar who usually draws with a pen. I know his physical strength very well. Maybe he is not as good as Gu Wenmin. Even if the opponent is not a ghost, I am afraid that Tofu is not an opponent .

So I said: "I'll be behind, you guys go down first."

Mao Rooster was already frightened, and hurriedly said: "I'll go down first..."

Gu Wenmin said: "Stop arguing. It's fate for us to be together. No one should sacrifice, so we all go down! I think this entrance is narrow, and only one person can pass through. Let's stay below, which is a natural barrier. "

As soon as she reminded me, I couldn't help but patted my forehead, and said to myself why I didn't expect this. After entering this entrance, we guarded it.

The four of them stopped talking immediately, and immediately took their things and crawled into the secret passage under the bed one file at a time.
