Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 565 Who is it?

Feng Guishou and others struggled more than us all the way, and now they are blasting and looking for agencies to rescue us, and they are too tired, sitting on the spot panting for breath.I asked them what their plans were, and Xiao Yu pointed to the comatose mute, and said, "We will listen to him, we will wait until he wakes up."

Wen Min frowned slightly, and said to me in a low voice: "They can wait, but we don't have time to wait, we have to find Xiaodou quickly."

I nodded at her, gave her a reassuring look, and then asked Feng Guishou if they would like to join us on the road. After all, there is only one road now, and it is better to have a stronger team.Feng Guishou had no objection, but Xiao Yu and the others were hesitant. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the comatose mute suddenly opened his eyes, maintained the same posture, and did not look at us, only looking at Xiao Yu. Say, "Come with them."

Seeing that the mute had woken up, I hurried up and said, "How is your body? Are you all right?"

The dumb hummed, but didn't move. I guess he hadn't recovered from it yet, so he said, "If so, let's go together." Immediately afterwards, he scolded me for supporting the dumb. The crowd immediately moved forward.

With tofu leading the charge, I think it will be much safer.Feng Guishou walked in the front. Although he was a bit good in front of Puzhen, he was more reliable than those of us who didn't know anything. I supported the mute and followed behind him.The mute's body was very cold, with a thin layer of sweat floating on it. Although he didn't say a word and his expression didn't change much, I always felt that he was in pain at the moment.I thought to myself, maybe he didn't want other people to know his physical condition, so I didn't ask, but seeing his footsteps almost dragging on the ground, vague images flashed in my mind, and I felt a little bit Couldn't bear it, so he carried the person on his back.

The others were a little surprised, but they didn't ask any more questions. The mute opened his eyes suddenly, and said coldly in my ear: "Put me down." His voice was extremely low, almost a whisper, obviously not wanting to disturb other people.So I also tilted my head slightly, and said with a lip shape: the voice is too low, I can't hear you clearly.

The mute was stunned for a moment, obviously knowing that I did it on purpose, but he didn't say much. He snorted slightly and didn't say any more.Everyone continued to move forward, being careful along the way, the tomb passage was very orderly, and there were no clues left. As I was walking, I suddenly thought of something.

In the tomb of Juer King, Feidao Bai Laosi, Chen Ci, and Zhao Erye have all visited. Why didn't we leave any signs of mechanism activation along the way?I didn't think of this level before, but now that I think about it, I can't help but feel very strange, so I shared this doubt with everyone, and said: "It's not likely that the people who came to the tomb of King Juer before chose the White Fish Gate. ?”

Xiao Yu immediately retorted: "Impossible, we didn't see any signs of mechanism activation over there. It's as if no one has ever entered this place. It's really strange when you say that."

Wen Min speculated: "Could it be that some mechanism is manipulating it?" When she said this, she looked at Feng Guishou.Feng Gui paused, shook his head, and said: "There is no such mechanism in this world, there must be other reasons." As everyone walked, they discussed various possibilities, but the mute still didn't participate in our plan. topic, silently bent over my back, I looked sideways and thought he had fallen asleep again, but at this moment, the mute suddenly whispered to me: "Go to the end."

finally?
I froze for a moment, and just as I was about to ask, he hissed slightly, signaling me not to speak, and said in a very low voice, "Slow down." The voice seemed very messy, and the mute's extremely low whisper did not attract the attention of others.I don't know exactly what he's up to, but I always have a strange sense of trust in the mute at certain times.He has spoiled me many times, but also saved me many times, especially the appearance and personality that are exactly the same as Chen Yi, which made me subconsciously feel a sense of intimacy. ,

When I realized it, I realized that I had subconsciously slowed down. For this reason, the rest of the people slowly passed me. Everyone was very vigilant at the moment, thinking that I was carrying someone behind my back, and slowed down. It's also normal, I didn't pay too much attention to it, and after a while, I fell to the end.

At this moment, the flashlights in everyone's hands were turned on. In the dark tomb passage, they were illuminated very brightly by the light of the flashlights. Everyone's shadows were elongated into thin black shadows projected on the ground and walls, turning Everywhere is distorted, and it looks like a shadow.

I walked last and asked the mute in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

The mute is still lying on my body, but the muscles on his body are not as weak as before, but slowly tense up, and he said in a voice like a breath; "You count, the front It's a few people."

people?
I looked forward. Since the tomb passage is not spacious and there are so many of us, it is not easy to count them all at once.

I looked along, and I could only see the backs of the people, and the closer they were to the front, the less they could be seen clearly.The first one was Feng Guishou, followed by Zhuan Rui and Zhong Gong, Wen Min followed behind Zhuan Rui, followed by Shen Hao and Shen Zhonghua, followed by the dumb men, and finally the white chicken and the terrifying appearance Fatty Li.

I looked at it, and suddenly felt something was wrong, why was there an extra person?

In an instant, I felt a chill in my neck, and I couldn't help but stare at the people in front of me.

The backs of Feng Guishou and others are easy to distinguish, but the ones who are not easy to distinguish are the dumb subordinates. They are all dressed in the same uniform and about the same size. Looking around, it's even harder to see who's who.Wind, Fire, Thunder, Lightning, and Xiao Yu, there are five people in total, and the person codenamed "Fire" had already died in the attack of the strange bird, so there should be only four people left, but why, their team Here, there will be an extra person with equipment on his back?

Perhaps it was because of too much equipment, or because they were dressed too much alike, and all the attention of the people was on the surrounding environment. They were only worried that they would step on the mechanism, but did not care about the people around them. Therefore, no one has discovered this strange phenomenon.

I suddenly understood why the mute made me go last.

Who are the extra people?
My eyes wandered among the five almost identical backgrounds, and I couldn't help but have a tingling guess in my heart: Could it be that the ghost of fire...has come back?

For a moment, I was a little nervous, and I managed to speak after a long while. I lowered my voice and asked the dumb: "You, how did you find out? What is that extra thing?" The dumb has been lying on my back, and I have been walking How did he know that there was an extra person behind?Could it be that he has eyes on the back of his head?
As I spoke, my footsteps stopped involuntarily, while the people in front of me were still walking forward.Fatty Li's senses are very sensitive, as soon as I heard the county's footsteps, he immediately turned to look at me, his bruised skin looked terrifying in the close-range light.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly followed. Fatty Li probably thought I was just tired, so he turned his head and continued to chase.At this time, I realized something even more wrong.Fatty Li is a messenger and has a natural awareness of zongzi. If the extra back is really the ghost of 'Fire', how could Fatty Li not know?
I put my whole heart into my throat, but the mute didn't answer the question I just asked. Just when I was about to ask another question, the mute spoke again. This time, his voice was lower and he said, "It will Find a substitute..."

Looking for a substitute?
Knowing that my guess had come true, I swallowed, and said with a lip shape: Is it fire?
The mute didn't deny it, but acquiesced.

My mind was in turmoil, and I recalled the previous scene. When we were trapped in the stone room, there was no problem with the number of us. body, so the number is no problem.

In other words, it appeared some time after our departure.

I still do the lip shape and ask: how did you find it?

The mute squinted his eyes and stared at the backs of the five people coldly. We were not sure which one was 'Fire'. I remembered that in folklore, ghosts have no shadows, so I followed the mute's gaze, slightly quickened my pace, and went to Observe the shadows under the feet of those five people.

Five shadows.

I was a little surprised.

Isn't it a ghost?
I couldn't help observing the five shadows carefully. They were stretched very long, projected to the ground, and then turned around and folded onto the wall.At this time, I suddenly discovered that there was something wrong with one of the shadows.

It is thinner than the other four shadows, not like the shadow of a person, but like the shadow of a skeleton!I gasped and locked onto that 'person' suddenly.

At this time, Feng Guishou in front of him said, "It's calm now. It looks like we're getting close to the sacrificial pit. I don't know what the elephant's tomb is for." Xiao Yu recalled what Tofu said before, and said: " Maybe it’s just like Brother Dou said, it’s a banana.” The group laughed, using this method to relieve the tense atmosphere in the team.

I was attracted by the conversation between the two, and turned my eyes away. However, when I turned back again, I was taken aback: it disappeared again.
