Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 40 Back to the Origin
The dark clouds above the head have been falling non-stop since Gu Wenmin spoke at the gate of hell. At first we just thought it was weird, but now we are thinking about it carefully. Since we got lost on the road, and then the car fell off the cliff, the time A day and a night have passed, and the dark clouds show no signs of dispersing, just like a huge black cloth, covering us all the time.

what on earth is it?

Could it be that the ghost gate is still at work?
If so, then how do we get out?According to our original plan, if we move forward along the road above, can we really go out?
The physical strength we lost has recovered a lot after sleeping, eating and drinking, and everyone didn't want to stay any longer, but everyone felt a little drummed in their hearts, and didn't know what to do next.

Tofu, who was talking vigorously on the side, also calmed down, and said to me: "Pervert Chen, what do you think?"

At this time, I was too lazy to bother about the nickname with him. After thinking about it, I told everyone my share: "We must be trapped by some kind of force. This force may come from the gate of hell, or From something else. I can’t say for sure, but we can’t sit still. No matter how many possibilities there are, we have to try them before we know. Instead of standing still and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative and find hope.”

Gu Wenmin nodded in agreement, and said: "Chen Xuan is right. Although we are trapped, the situation is not that bad. At least we can still find food. I once read a report that some people did not eat in the desert. We have persisted for seven days without drinking. Our current environment is much better than the desert, not to mention, less than two days have passed. I believe that as long as the four of us are united, we can always find a way."

Or how to put it another way, the instigating power of the beauties is different. After her analysis and comparison, everyone's hearts, which were chilled by the cold rain, finally raised hope. Tofu said: "Beauty Gu is right, the three stinky A cobbler deserves only one Zhuge Liang, not to mention we have two Zhuge Liang and two cobblers."

I heard something was wrong, and said, "Wait, who are the two Zhuge Liang? And who are the two cobblers?"

Tofu said with a serious face, "Miss Gu is courageous, resourceful, beautiful and intelligent, so she is Zhuge Liang, right?"

I nodded and said, "She counts."

Tofu pointed at himself again and said, "I'm also a graduate of the Art Academy, and I'm good at boosting morale, and I live upright, so I'm one of them, right?"

I was overjoyed and said, "If Zhuge Liang found out, he would definitely be revived from the grave. Upright? The next time you see a mouse, as long as you don't hide on the sofa, I will admit that you are upright."

Tofu was exposed by me, and he complained with a tiger face: "In front of beautiful women, can you save me some face..." He was about to continue, I said; "Okay, okay, it's useless to say these now , while we are still physically strong and continue to find our way, I don’t believe that we will be trapped in this ghost place forever.”

The group of four had enough to eat and drink, and most of their physical strength recovered. They immediately started back on the road with their things on their backs. Along the way, the rain increased sometimes and stopped sometimes. There seems to be something, like a private house."

I said, "Great, let's go and have a look."

Mao Rooster said: "What if it is another corpse village?"

I hate it most when people find taboos for me, saying: "Crow's mouth, how can there be so many corpse villages." Gu Wenmin probably has better eyesight because of the photographer, so I looked in the direction she was looking and saw nothing. Unclear, the rain curtain made the vision hazy.I couldn't see clearly, let alone Tofu's nearsightedness, his head was shaking like a rattle, and he asked straight: "Where... where? Where is the private house? Why can't I see?"

Gu Wenmin squinted and said: "Your eyesight is not good, I have always protected my eyesight very well, it is far away from us, and I can't see clearly, let's get closer." Immediately, Gu Wenmin led the way, and we followed her, After walking forward for a while, I really saw something standing abruptly at the end of my line of sight. Because my vision was hazy in the dark rain, I couldn't tell what it was.

After walking a little closer, everyone's hearts went cold.

From a distance, it seems to be a private house. As the distance gets closer, the shape of the thing becomes clearer and clearer. In the end, even Tofu, who is short-sighted, can see it clearly.His face turned blue, he took a breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "This...isn't this our car?"

Under the cliff in front of us, there was the wreckage of our previous van, which was twisted and deformed. It looked like the cabin where the rangers lived.

At this moment, the iron sheet bared from the car was facing us with its teeth and claws in the heavy rain.

Mao Rooster wailed, and said: "My car, I bought it for 15 yuan. This is my job. How can I solicit customers in the future!" Seeing the wreckage, Mao Rooster remembered the sad things again, and ignored his eyes. Strange and bizarre situation, he sighed, his eyes were red.

For an ordinary person, anyone who lost more than one hundred thousand at once, and who lost his food, probably couldn't calm down.Tofu is usually annoyed by the rooster, but seeing him howling now, his soft-heartedness relapsed, and he said to the rooster: "There is a saying that if the old one doesn't go away, the new one won't come. .We rolled down such a high cliff without being thrown or stabbed to death, so we will definitely have good luck in the future.”

When Mao Rooster heard this, he was so moved that he wiped his tears, and said: "A long time sees the truth, and adversity reveals the heart. Brother Dou, I was wrong before. Brother, I apologize to you. You said this to my heart. I hope we Brother Dou, you can be blessed. I see that you spend a lot of money, brother Dou. I hope you can take care of me after you go out. Do me a favor and lend me some money first. The wife and children at home are poor and can only wear clothes. The shorts are gone, and the knees can't be covered..."

I thought to myself: It's summer, who the hell isn't wearing shorts?
But tofu has always had little tendons, and I was ready to agree with a wave of my big hand. I was so angry that my head almost rose, thinking: This kid's reaction is too slow, I can't see that this guy surnamed Mao has recognized him, and I want to stay. Scratch him?I am not afraid of enemies like wolves, but teammates like pigs. No wonder this kid invests all his money in my business. If he is really allowed to do business, he must be a wheel in the vegetable garden—at the mercy of others.

So I hurriedly interrupted the two of them and said: "The few of us who didn't know each other originally came here to share the joys and sorrows. Last night we experienced a narrow escape. This is fate. When fate comes, we must cherish it. As the saying goes, talk Money hurts feelings, and hurting feelings hurts fate. Let's not deal with this word, you see, this car is in front, and we walked together for a day and a night, and then came back again."

The hairy rooster was abruptly interrupted by me, and it stuck in its throat, its eyes bulging like a toad.Tofu is always easy to fool, I said this, successfully diverted the kid's attention, he forgot what he was going to say just now, stared at the car, and said: "We are always moving forward, wherever we go, You shouldn't have come to this place either. Old Chen, there must be something wrong here, let's... what should we do now?"

At this time, the hour hand on my wrist moved around again, pointing to two o'clock at noon. We had been trapped for a day and a night, and we actually walked back to the same place.

In this case, it would be strange to say that there is no ghost.

I was about to speak and analyze with everyone, when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a person secretly watching us under a big tree in the distance.The man was about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, and his figure was very thin. He couldn't see what he looked like due to the distance. He was wearing yellow clothes. When I saw him, he immediately turned around and ran away. .

I immediately thought of the dead body of the child who led us in Yinyang Liubu Village.

Could it be it again?
Is it good or bad?
We have been stuck here and can't get out, could it be that it is playing tricks?

Seeing him turn around and run away, I didn't care about explaining to everyone, and immediately ran after him. The tofu monster behind him shouted: "Chen Xuan, why are you crazy?" After saying that, he chased after me.

Tofu's physical strength is not good, he is a frail scholar, and his whole body is sub-healthy.I am different. I have done a lot of physical work before, and my body is very good. I also did not forget to exercise regularly in the later stage. I ran with all my strength and walked like flying, and quickly left the three of them behind.

I was a little nervous, thinking that it would be unsafe to be separated from everyone, but the child kept flickering at the end of my sight, and would disappear if I slowed down a bit, looking very weird. '

At this moment, we are trapped here, without a clue, whether it is good or evil, we should catch it first and ask to understand it.

Thinking of this, I chased after him alone.
