Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 510 Sarcophagus
Taking advantage of Zhuanrui restraining the tofu, I quickly got up, planning to check the situation.Seeing that the tofu was pinned to the ground and struggling, Zhuanrui seemed to be a little heavy handed, so I hurriedly said, "Loosen it, I'm about to strangle you to death."

As he said that, he went to break his hand, but when he bent over, he suddenly found that half of Zhuan Rui's face was exposed, his eyes were a little red, and I suddenly felt something was wrong. Surprised, without further ado, he suddenly clasped the meridian on Zhuan Rui's wrist. There is a meridian here, as long as he pinches it hard, his five fingers will open naturally.As soon as I pressed it, Zhuan Rui's hand opened immediately, but the whole person flew up and kicked me.

Due to the position, I couldn't dodge this kick, and I fell down on the stone steps with my ass kicked.Tofu lay on the ground and coughed, unable to stand up at all.But at this moment, Zhuan Rui's hand suddenly reached out to his waist.I saw the gesture of drawing a gun at this time, and I couldn't help being horrified, and without thinking about getting up, I rolled along the stone steps, knocking Zhuan Rui staggeringly.At this moment, his foot was unstable, and he rolled over and disappeared into the darkness.

I quickly helped the tofu up and asked, "How is it?"

Tofu coughed, shook his head, and said, "I got it."

I remembered what happened before, and my heart burst into anger, and I said, "What the hell did you go crazy for just now?"

Tofu panted: "I, I don't know, I just saw..." He seemed to have thought of something, and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly fell silent.I felt something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "What did you see?"

Tofu scratched his head, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's a hallucination. I saw the plane crash, it was full of fire and dead people, and my parents were inside... Hey, in fact, after so many years, I can't even blur their appearance. It was very clear just now."

I remembered what Tofu said to save people before, and then I realized it. I thought that this place looks very strange, and it can even make people hallucinate.So what happened to Zhuan Rui just now?Was he also being manipulated by some hallucination?

I looked into the darkness, and Zhuan Rui didn't know where to go. I was worried that he would lose his mind and would hide below and shoot a dark gun, so I quickly grabbed Tofu and dodged aside, saying, "Go, go down and have a look." Jindu It's useless to be timid after entering, not to mention that Zhuanrui and Harichagai are both below, so they can't be left alone.

Tofu and I didn't dare to walk in the middle again, worried that something would happen, so we leaned against the wall and moved forward. If something happened, at least we could give us a hand so that we wouldn't fall over.This time, both of us put up 12 points of energy, and within a few steps, we saw that the stone steps had reached the bottom.

I saw that the bottom was a space of about [-] square meters, and there were many dense grids on the surrounding stone walls, and some things were piled inside.I swept over the light, and at a glance, it was probably something like bamboo slips or animal skins.

After a long time, these things are already very fragile. I reached out and touched one of the bamboo slips, but I didn’t control the force well, and the whole bamboo slip broke into pieces. What content, just destroyed by me.

Tofu rolled his eyes, suddenly tugged at my arm, pointed straight ahead, and said, "Is there a person in that place? A teapot lid? A yin and yang face?" He called twice, but there was no response from the surrounding.I looked in the direction of Tofu's finger, and saw a vague figure standing in a dark place ahead where the lights couldn't reach, but judging by his stature, he didn't look like Zhuanrui and Harichagai.My heart moved, and I took a few steps forward. At this moment, the figure also became clear.

Only then did I realize that it turned out to be a 'framed' person, as if propped up by a wooden frame, covered with layers of black animal skin cloth, and wearing a black, red and green intersecting mask on his head .I can see that this is a set of dresses worn by shamans when offering sacrifices. Although the material is different from the modern ones, the style is similar.

Behind the erected sacrificial clothes, there are also layers of stone lattices, inside which are placed some masks, scepters and other things, and some very strange objects, which I have almost never seen.In addition, in the upper left corner of this stone room, there is an oval sarcophagus. Besides, there are no shadows of Zhuanrui and Harichagai.

Tofu hissed and said, "Old Chen, why is there still a sarcophagus in this underground palace?"

I shook my head and looked around. This should be the end of the entire underground palace. The ancient animal skin scrolls and bamboo slips around it should be the core content of the ghost shaman culture. The method of cursing is probably hidden in these ancient bamboo scrolls.Where will Zhuan Rui and the others go?Tofu and I looked at each other, and the two couldn't help looking at the huge sarcophagus.

This careful observation revealed an even more strange place, the sarcophagus opened a crack,

Tofu took out the shovel, and we walked towards the sarcophagus step by step, and when we got close, Tofu swung the shovel and shouted: "Whether you are a zongzi or something, get out." After the roar, Naturally no one responded to tofu.Because my hand was pinched by the worm king before, Tofu volunteered this time, winked at me, motioned me to back up, and then inserted the shovel into the opening of the coffin, and pushed it out violently.

Following this force, the oval coffin lid above the sarcophagus slowly tilted to the side, and in an instant, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew out of the sarcophagus.

How could there be wind in the coffin?
I thought of the ghost panting, and looked in suddenly, only to find that the sarcophagus had no bottom, and there was a big black hole at the bottom of the coffin.I immediately realized that Zhuanrui and Harichagai probably got into this big black hole.

I immediately looked in with a flashlight, only to see that it was foggy below, and I didn't wear a gas mask at the moment, and I felt a strange stench blowing up from below along with the cold wind.Tofu leaned over to look at it, and muttered, "I can't see the end."

I took out a cold smoke from my pocket and threw it down. The bleak green light fell into the darkness, but soon, it suddenly disappeared.My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly remembered the scene of throwing cold fireworks behind the golden gate. This bad association made me feel bad.

However, at this moment, in the darkness below, the disappearing green light suddenly reappeared. I thought it was a cold firework, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart. It was off just now, why is it suddenly on now?However, without waiting for me to think about it, suddenly, the green light suddenly rose up, as if it was pushed up by some huge impact.As soon as the distance was drawn in, I suddenly discovered: where is the green light of cold fireworks, it is clearly a big green eye!
Tofu let out a cry of surprise, swung the shovel and slammed it down. However, before the shovel disappeared, a greasy thing suddenly protruded out of the darkness, like a human hand or an octopus' tentacles. He quickly rolled up Tofu's arm along the shovel, and pulled the whole body of Tofu down.

I didn't expect that there was such a thing in the big hole under the sarcophagus, and I suddenly realized that Haricagai and Zhuan Rui were probably dragged down by this thing.Seeing Tofu fall down, at the very moment, I reached out and hugged Tofu's waist and pulled him out.

Tofu wailed: "Don't pull it, your hand... your hand will be torn off."

I tried my best to suck at the moment, but I felt that the thing entangled with the tofu was very strong, and I thought that if I didn't pull it, I'm afraid you would not only break your hand next.But at this moment, I hardly even have the strength to speak, and I have all the strength in my body to fight against the thing that entangles the tofu.

Fortunately, Tofu himself was clever, enduring the pain, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his right hand, and stabbed at the thing wrapped around his arm.

That thing hurts, so I let go of the tofu.I couldn't catch up with her momentum, I fell back while holding her, and my ass blossomed.

"Ouch." I just felt that my butt was almost broken in half, and Tofu covered his arms and wailed; "Why am I so unlucky this time, my back is hurt, my face is hurt, my hands are hurt, is it the retribution for my bad deeds?" ? Woo woo woo..."

Seeing that Tofu was really in tears, I quickly kicked him and said, "You're promising, man..."

Tofu interrupted me directly, and said, "A man sheds tears but not blood!"

I was so angry that I was about to educate him, when suddenly, the half-seen stone coffin lid made a bang, was suddenly pushed away by a strong force, and fell to the ground, only a mass of sticky and wet tentacles poured out of the sarcophagus.

Those tentacles were about the thickness of a human's arm, and the ends looked like human hands, as if they were long arms without bones.Not only did it push open the sarcophagus, but it also rushed towards me and Tofu extremely quickly.

Doufu didn't care about crying or bleeding now, he jumped up and ran away. His grandma's ran faster than a rabbit.

I also hurriedly withdrew, and the two of them ran a certain distance. Those tentacles seemed to be unable to extend that long, so they did not catch up again. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and looking at the sarcophagus, it was like planting a bunch of tentacles in a stone vase. Like succulents, don't mention how disgusting it is.
