Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 561 Secret
I grabbed a piece at random and began to pull it out slowly. With a slight movement, I could immediately feel the pulling force coming from the bottom of the silver medal. After moving less than two centimeters, everyone heard a slight click. After reacting, suddenly, several stone pillars suddenly popped up in the fire oil pit behind the figurines. Together with the original irregular stone pillars, a stone road was paved in an instant, appearing straight in our eyes.

I was dumbfounded, and thought to myself: Could it be that I am a blind cat and a dead mouse, and I am so confused?

Or, these eight silver medals are actually not dangerous?I was puzzled, so I tried to move the silver medals next to me, but this time I found that they became so strong that they couldn't be moved at all. If I pulled them forcibly, I didn't know what would happen, so I had to give up this one. idea.

Wen Min asked in surprise, "Could it be successful?"

Tofu scratched his head and said, "Are we so lucky? Why do I think there is a conspiracy? Can this stone pillar go? Or, let's find someone to try it first?" After saying this, he looked at Fatty Li , but seeing the hole shot out by the iron crossbow in Fatty Li's body, he felt that he couldn't bear it again. He turned his head, stretched out a foot, and stomped hard on the stone pillar closest to us.

Shizhu didn't move at all, Tofu retracted his feet and said, "It seems to be all right."

But this stone road made of stone pillars appeared in front of us in such a strange and peaceful manner, but it made people feel an indescribable strangeness in their hearts. We are not fools, and we will not be so stupid as to think that those eight There is a one-in-one chance that he will be hit by himself.The reason why we randomly flipped the cards before is that we just want to see what these silver medals represent.

It now appears that they were clearly used to manipulate the pillars.

I estimate that the arrangement order of the stone pillars will be different if you look at different brands. This is a multiple-choice question to choose one of eight. From the time they came in to the present, the people who fight against each other have been making choices under the arrangement of the corpse fairy.First it was the stone tablet on the outer mountain, followed by the Yin-Yang Pisces Gate, and now these eight silver medals.

At this moment, the remaining seven blocks can no longer be moved, and there is obviously only one chance to choose. There are only two roads before us at this moment, either to move forward or to retreat.

I gritted my teeth and said, "I'll go check it out first, you stay here."

Tofu and Wen Min immediately became nervous, Wen Min said: "That's too dangerous, what if something happens? Let's think of other ways."

I said, "We've been delayed for hours, there's nothing else we can do about the situation, so it's settled."

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything more, they adjusted the flashlight to the maximum, took a deep breath, and jumped onto the stone pillar. The stone pillar was still very firm. Everyone stood behind and watched my movements solemnly. I rushed to them. He made an OK gesture to indicate that there is no problem, and then continued to jump forward.The distance between the stone pillars was more than two meters before, but now it has become very narrow, only about half a meter, and the jumping time is extremely easy.I was overjoyed, and even jumping over the three stone pillars was very smooth. However, when I just jumped on the fourth stone pillar, there was a dull creak behind me, followed by Tofu and others. exclaimed.

I turned my head and looked, and suddenly found that the three stone pillars that I jumped before suddenly retracted into the fire oil pit after I left. At the same time, the stone pillar I was standing on was also shaking. It swayed and started to sink.

Behind him, Zhuan Rui's usually lukewarm voice became hurried, and he shouted, "Run!"

There is no need for him to say more, I immediately ran, and the span of each step was kept at about half a meter. Almost every time I stepped on a stone pillar, it began to tremble. The further I went, the faster the stone pillar sank. , In the end, my heart was almost cold, because before I ran to the other side, the stone pillar in front had already started to shrink down wobbly!
Seeing that I was only five or six meters away from the safe zone on the opposite side, but I had nowhere to go.

I heard Wen Min yelling: "No..." That voice almost made me cry.I struggled to maintain my figure on the swaying stone pillar. When I heard the voice, I couldn't help but look back, only to find that Wen Min, who has always been strong, had already started to cry.

I felt a dull headache in my heart. At this moment, I just wanted to hold her in my arms, but unfortunately, I couldn't do it anymore.I had nowhere to go. The violently shaking stone pillar made it hard to stabilize my body. In order not to fall off, I had to squat down and support the edge of the stone pillar with both hands, but I didn’t know how many seconds I could hold it. At this moment, the only thing I could do The most important thing is to see the people behind.

"No, don't, Chen Xuan...Chen Xuan, you come back." It was the first time I saw Wen Min lose his composure. At this moment, my mouth was full of bitterness, because I knew I couldn't go back.

The stone pillar continued to sink, and maybe it would sink into the fire oil in the next second. However, at this moment, the stone pillar, which was vibrating violently, suddenly stopped with a thud.

I froze on it, not daring to move. I just felt like it was the calm before the storm. I didn't know what would happen the next moment when I stopped.Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhong Gong startled, saying: "Brother Dou, you..."

Until then, I had no time to pay attention to Tofu. I have to say that at the moment of life and death just now, Wen Min's crying expression almost attracted all my attention. I didn't notice what other people were doing until Zhong Gong said , I just realized that Tofu was standing in front of the figurine, his hands kept moving, and I didn't know what he was doing. After a while, there was a crackling sound in the whole kerosene pit, and the stone pillar that had retracted before, unexpectedly came back again. It popped up, and the most peculiar thing is that there is no gap of more than half a meter between the stone pillars, but they are closely joined together, forming a smooth stone path.

Tofu on the opposite side sat down on the ground, far away, I could see under the light, his face was covered with sweat, his lips were full, and he couldn't care less about the wound on his buttocks.Everyone was dumbfounded, at this moment,.Tofu got up from the ground again, and said, "Let's go." Then, he grabbed the shocked Zhuan Rui and Wen Min, carried the equipment bag, and ran towards me on the stone path first. This time it was indeed very smooth. Nothing happened.

Only then did Wen Min and the others come to their senses, and quickly followed Tofu's footsteps. After a while, the three of us finally reached the opposite side of the stone road. Everyone looked at each other, and finally all eyes focused on Tofu.

Zhuan Rui's expression is not very good-looking, he has always been lukewarm, very calm, but now, I can almost see the anger in his eyes, before I can speak, he has already grabbed Tofu by the collar, Tofu pushed the whole person against the wall, and said in a very gloomy voice, "Why do you know about the mechanism? First, the black fish, then the iron crossbow, and now the fire path, you all know? Why didn't you tell us? I brought my men and horses to kill me, It was for the sake of previous affection, not to bring them to die!"

Zhuanrui usually hits tofu, but he has never been violent. Tofu is a little scared, and he asks me for help with his eyes.Don't mention how uncomfortable I feel, I don't know how much Tofu has hidden from me, but I can understand Zhuan Rui's anger at the moment.He brought his own people to help us, to fight for his life, but Tofu is obviously very clear about the situation in this place, but he didn't mention a word, it's really...

I took a deep breath and said, "Let go of him first, and I will give you an explanation."

Zhuan Rui glanced at me, the corner of his eye twitched, and finally let go of his hand slowly.

Tofu lowered his eyes, his eyeballs rolled around, and said: "I, I didn't, I just, it was just a coincidence..." I couldn't help but said coldly: "You should save your words to deceive the corpse fairy." After finishing speaking, I remembered the scene of Yao Fang, and I immediately regretted it.Sure enough, Tofu's emotions immediately became agitated, and he said angrily, "I'm a liar, what's up!"

Wen Min immediately comforted him, saying: "Xiaodou, don't get excited, we have no other intentions, you, why do you know what's going on in this tomb? Did the corpse fairy tell you? Could it be that it has always been wise?"

"No." Tofu immediately denied it, saying: "It has to be wise, and will it be tricked into the void by a liar like me!" As soon as this was mentioned, everyone felt guilty. Gong and I both experienced that accident, and the anger in my heart disappeared in an instant.Zhuanrui put away his fierce expression, remained silent for a while, and frowned, "What's going on? Tell us what you know, we are such a big group, even if you don't care about our lives, you should be cautious Your brother and Officer Gu, right?"

Tofu fell silent when he heard the words.

I looked at him, my mind was a little messed up.

Tofu and I, one was born in poverty, the other was born in wealth, but in the end we ended up with no relatives and no reason, perhaps because of this, we have always trusted each other very much.Everyone has their own secrets, I never force to know everything about him, but now, I feel helpless in my heart, I suddenly find that this brother I trust hides too many things from me.

All of this seems to have started after the corpse fairy appeared.

What happened between them?Why does tofu know the mechanism here?Why no matter how I ask, he refuses to tell the truth?
What is the reason for all this?
