Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 525
At this moment, it was dark all around, and the airless corridor was stuffy and humid. With the harsh white light, I could clearly see the space behind the door. There was also no furniture, and it was empty. Clearing something broken, the right side is connected to another room, and the left side is a kitchen.

I held up the light on my mobile phone and looked at this room. It was not too big, with one bedroom and one living room. It was a typical dormitory building in the last century.There is a piece of furniture in the room on the right hand side, which is a large wooden wardrobe against the wall. Half of the door of the wardrobe is broken, revealing the space inside. From my perspective, it is covered with spider webs.Besides, there is no place to put things in this room.

Immediately afterwards, I turned to the kitchen. The kitchen is relatively small, and the stove inside is still there. A large rusty iron pot is covered on the stove, which is covered with rat droppings. There is a strange smell in the kitchen. At first glance, it doesn't look like a place to hide things.I thought to myself, it seems that this house should not belong to Mr. Bai, but maybe it belonged to other residents, who just happened to clean it.Thinking of this, I planned to leave and continue to check, but as soon as I reached the door, I suddenly found that the iron door for entry and exit could not be opened.

I was startled, and shook it vigorously a few times, but the iron door seemed to be pushed by a strong force, and it couldn't be pulled open at all.

Could it be that someone tampered with it outside?
No, I remember that when I opened the door before, the lock on the iron door was already broken. Unless the lock was changed again, it would be impossible to lock it, unless someone pulled the iron door outside to prevent me from going out.But then I thought, no, there is not even a handle on the outside of this iron door, and the door is pushed from the outside in. If there is no lock on the outside of the door, people can't even pull it.In this way, there is only one possibility, the current situation where the door cannot be opened is not due to someone tampering with it from the outside, but something is causing trouble inside the door!
I felt cold sweat on my forehead instantly. At this moment, the phone flashed, indicating that the battery is low and the flashlight function cannot be used. Immediately afterwards, the white light on the top of the phone went out, and the whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness. .

I pulled the door hard again, but it still wouldn't open.

At this moment, I remembered the rumors about the ghosts in the East University Bieyuan, and thought: Could this legend be true?Could it be that something unclean is at work?I don't know if it's because of my heart, but I feel that the temperature around me, as the light from the phone disappears, drops instantly, making people feel a burst of coolness.

At this moment, the surrounding area is too dark to see anything, and only after turning on the phone, can I see something clearly with the dim light of the screen.At this time, I suddenly thought of the black curtain, and immediately ran towards the window, stretched out my hand and opened the curtain, thinking that it was still dark outside, so opening the curtain would at least allow some light to come in.And the old-fashioned windows are not sealed, since the door can't get through, then go through the window.

I pulled the black curtains, thinking that there would be light coming in, but after the curtains were opened, it was still dark.Only then did I realize that the place where the window should have been was actually sealed with cement.

I rely on.

Who did this immoral thing, why seal the windows properly?I held up my mobile phone and took a closer look, and found that the cement that sealed the window was different in color from the old cement around it. The color was lighter, and it seemed that it was pasted on not long ago.My heart moved, and I thought that the room is empty, why close the windows if there is nothing to do?Are you still afraid that someone will come in and steal things?

Could it be that there is really some treasure hidden in this place?Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help looking around, but unfortunately the light from the phone was too weak, and I couldn't see anything around. It seemed that a light source was necessary to figure it out.Thinking of this, I went back to the door again and pulled the door with all my strength. When I pulled it, the door really opened, but only a crack, and I felt as if there was someone beside me, pushing hard. He opened the door, and in an instant, the door that had been opened with great difficulty suddenly closed again.

I turned my head to look at the side in an instant, and there was nothing in the visible range, and there was no one there.

But... what happened to that force just now?

As soon as this thought flashed across my mind, I suddenly heard a strange sound in my ears.

"Crackling." As if someone was scratching the glass with their hands, the sudden sound made people feel creepy.I held my breath suddenly, and in the darkness, I listened to the direction of the sound.

It seems that it came from the room on the right.

The layout of that room quickly flashed through my mind, it was empty and covered with cobwebs, and the only thing was that big wardrobe.The style of the large wardrobe is very old, and there is a mirror inlaid in the center. Most of the old-fashioned wardrobes have this design.

My heart skipped a beat, and my scalp felt numb: Is there something in that closet?
For a moment, I felt as if my throat was blocked, and at this moment, the sound of fingernails scratching the glass suddenly stopped, and then, the surroundings returned to a dead silence.I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but before I finished my breath, there was another pattering sound in the darkness. This time I was sure that it was the sound of footsteps, the sound of human footsteps. In the room on the right.

Footsteps seemed to be approaching me, but I couldn't see anything in the dark.

"Who is it!" I wondered if there was something unclean here, and wondered if there was someone hiding in the closet from the beginning.

As soon as these words came out, the sound of footsteps stopped immediately, and the surroundings returned to a deathly silence. I put my ears on my back and tried my best, but I didn't hear any other movement. The only sound was my own breathing. .

I knew that this place was weird, so I didn't dare to stay longer, so I tried to pull the door again, but this time it couldn't be opened either. I felt as if there was a strong invisible steel holding the door tightly, no matter how I tried to open it. There is no response to force.

Now, I'm almost sure that there must be something unclean in this place.I checked the time on my phone, it was past six past ten.At this moment, from the point of view of yin and yang, when the yang qi is weakening and the yin qi is gradually emerging, when the sun goes down, it is unknown what kind of moth will appear.

No, I have to ask for help.

Just as I was about to call Wenmin, I realized that there was no signal in this place.I tried to dial out, and there was a beeping sound from the phone, but after a while, the tone suddenly began to change, and gradually, it turned into a shrill laugh, like a woman who was stimulated , with a hoarse and shrill voice, through the phone, the sound pierced into the eardrums, not to mention how horrifying, I was stimulated, the phone fell to the ground, the battery was thrown out, and the phone went out.

The burst of sharp laughter also disappeared with the damage of the phone.In the dark, I took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and made a mental construction for myself: I am not afraid, I am not afraid, I have never seen any zongzi.Grandma, it looks like this place is really haunted.It's trapped right now.

I was unprepared before, and I was frightened, but now I was relieved, recognized the situation, and calmed down. After all, I also went up the mountain and went to the sea to dig mushrooms. I have seen countless soft and hard dumplings. The defense line in my heart is stronger than ordinary people. Much sturdier.

I calmed down, thought of the weird sound just now, and thought to myself that if there is a ghost, then most likely it has something to do with the wardrobe.There is a saying that ghosts do not offend people, and people do not offend ghosts. Since you provoked me first, I can only accompany you.Thinking of this, I took out the lighter and lit it, and with the other hand I took out the dagger hidden between my waist and hips, and headed for the room on the right.

I stood in front of the closet with a lighter in hand, and my figure was reflected in the big mirror in the center. I guess I was sweating from the shock, my hair was a little wet, and I looked rather embarrassed.

I took a deep breath, and in the next second, without saying a word, I kicked the mirror.Then there was a bang, your mirror was torn apart and fell to the ground, and the whole closet was kicked and trembled.There is an old saying that ghosts are afraid of evil people, and when encountering unclean things, the most taboo thing is to be timid. At this time, the more vicious you behave, the more effective it is.

This kick, accompanied by the sound of the mirror shattering, completely dissipated the fear in my heart. Immediately afterwards, I reached out and opened the door on the other side. In an instant, the entire wardrobe was exposed in front of me. The breath was so tangy that people couldn't help but hold their cold breath.

At this time, I took a closer look with the lighter and found that the whole wardrobe was empty, but there were quite a lot of spiders. With my series of rough movements, the spiders inside immediately scattered and hid in the corners of the wardrobe. .

I stared at the empty closet and listened carefully. At this moment, I felt a slight chill on my neck, as if there was a person standing behind me, but when I turned around, there was nothing behind me.It's a pity that I don't have incense on me, or else I'll really see what's causing the trouble.

I reckoned that you should be afraid of such a trouble, so I held up the lighter and went back to the door to open it. This time it went smoothly, and it opened with a single pull.However, as soon as I saw the environment outside the door, my scalp felt numb and I couldn't help but slammed the door shut.

A human head floated outside the door.

A human head that seems to be inflated and suspended at the door.

The swollen head, with bloodshot eyes, stared straight at me.
