Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 568 Crying Spirit
The sacrificial pit was about three meters deep, and there were all kinds of dead bones densely piled inside. When I jumped down, I stepped on the bones, and there was a crackling sound of bones breaking. Everyone's feet were not flat, and the bones were slippery, except for the mute and Zhuan Rui. Outside, the rest of the people fell on all fours.

I sat in the pile of dead bones, without thinking about getting up, I quickly looked up, only to see that the two teams above had met, and they stopped suddenly, as if wondering why the people in the middle had disappeared.However, in the next second, they all turned around and faced the direction of our sacrificial pit.Since these zongzi kept their heads down, when I turned around now, I saw blurred faces looking down at us in the funeral pit.

That kind of feeling, as if we have also become human sacrifices, not to mention the feeling of being watched by a group of zongzi from above. Others can't see it, but I can see it clearly. I suddenly feel scalp numb , A thought came to me: Why do I have the feeling of falling into a trap?

At this time, everyone who fell got up one after another, and Zhuan Rui immediately asked me how the situation is now.I calmed down and looked at the 'faces' looking down at us one by one. I felt my throat was dry. After a while, I smiled wryly: "It's still there, they are looking at us..."

Lei Zi was a little irritable, he couldn't see anything, and fell on his back again. Hearing what I said now, he couldn't help saying: "You kid, don't you just play tricks? Are there ghosts?"

Zhong Gong said: "Only Brother Chen can see it. We can't figure out the situation. It's dangerous. I think it's better to ask for incense." The soft zongzi made no other moves, so this proposal was agreed by everyone.Zhong Gong immediately took out the incense from the equipment bag, and everyone knew the rules, so when Zhong Gong was taking the incense, Feng Guishou suddenly added a sentence, saying: "It's better to invite a stick of incense from the ancestor."

The so-called ancestor incense is also a kind of incense, but it will increase the original one incense to five. When I was with Feng Guishou in the tomb of Princess Gegeer, he once invited the ancestor incense. There were three long and two short fires.The experience that time was really not peaceful, not to mention the death, and a black dragon, everyone almost finished the game.

As soon as he said to invite the ancestors to offer incense, my bad memories were brought back, and I thought to myself: If something goes wrong again, wouldn't it disturb the morale of the army?So I said: "Don't invite any patriarchs to incense, who believes this these days."

Of course Zhong Gong listened to me, and would not listen to Feng Guishou, and immediately took out a stick of incense, and then took out the lighter to light it, but after lighting it for a long time, the incense head did not even ignite.

Through the glass cover of the gas mask, I saw that Zhong Gong's face was not very good-looking, and said to Zhuan Rui: "What should I do if I can't light it?"

Lei Zi said: "Have you bought inferior goods? Has it returned?" Xiao Yu and the others are the subordinates of Bai Sanye.Buying incense in reverse is a matter of wealth and life, who dares to buy inferior goods?Not to mention that the probability of this is very small, even if you really buy inferior goods, even if there is no spark, there should be black smoke, right?This fragrance doesn't even have black smoke.

A few of us veterans immediately knew that something was wrong, and the incense would not burn, which meant that the zongzi was unacceptable, and the unscented zongzi was a big culprit.

Just when everyone was stunned, the mute opened his mouth calmly and uttered four words: "Please give incense to Patriarch."

What he said made our brains come alive. Patriarch incense was burnt for tomb robbers, so this incense should be acceptable.

This time, Zhong Gong first lit a white candle with a lighter, and then took out five sticks of incense, chanting words, and what he said was nothing more than wishing for the blessing of the patriarch and pointing out a maze.He is a tall man of eight feet, so serious about engaging in such superstitious things, he still looks very uncoordinated, which makes people want to laugh.

But now, no one is laughing.While Zhong Gong was reading, he used a white candle to light the five sticks of incense. This time, the incense was lit all at once, and Lei Zi and the others couldn't help but look at the mute with admiration.The smoke curled up, and the dim light appeared obscure in the space intertwined with smoke and black mist. Even though several flashlights were turned on, it still felt that the surrounding light was dim.Everyone stared closely at the smoke and the candlelight, and after a while, there was only a single candlelight, and the dim yellow flame suddenly shrank to the size of a star bean. Without wind, it turned into a green flame automatically, covering Zhong Gong's face. It looks a little blue.

At the same time, the smoke also rose to the sky, and within a short while, I saw the stunned expressions of the rest of the people. Obviously, they had discovered the ghosts standing above and staring at us, and they all ate Like a fly, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

Immediately, I felt more balanced, and finally I didn't have to bear this fear alone.

The surroundings are quiet, only the gradual and rapid panting.The mute's expression remained unchanged, his dark eyes looked through the glass cover of the mask, and he looked indifferently at the row of ghosts above, as if they were not ghosts, but just a group of ordinary people.

At the moment when everyone was frightened, his calmness was like a tranquilizer, which instantly dissipated a lot of anxiety and fear in people's hearts.

I made up my mind and said, "It looks like they won't come down. Let's walk along the burial pit to the opposite side and make plans at that time." Everyone nodded and walked forward while observing the things on it. .However, when we moved, their faces also moved slightly, obviously looking at us, and their eyes moved with our position. In an instant, I seemed to feel the eyes of countless ghosts sticking to my body, It makes people's hairs stand on end.

But even so, those things have been staying in place, which made us feel a lot more relieved, and everyone immediately accelerated to move forward.

Along the way, in addition to human bones, there are many martyred animals such as horses, sheep, pigs, and cattle, but I did not see the bananas mentioned by Tofu, but even if there were bananas buried with them, they must have rotted long ago .

Everyone walked forward with their feet on the dead bones, and their ears were full of clicks, and occasionally some small objects were found, which were probably the things these people carried on their bodies when they died.The length of the sacrificial pit is about 40 meters, which is quite large, and these dead bones almost fill up the entire sacrificial pit, which is enough to imagine how many people died at that time.At this moment, along with the clicking sound of stepping on the bones, I suddenly heard another sound in my ears.

cry.

The voice was a little fuzzy, I thought it was my illusion, but the dumb footsteps stopped, his head turned slightly, and he looked around vigilantly.At the same time, Wen Min also said in an uncertain voice: "Someone seems to be crying?"

The others obviously heard it too, and Lei Zi said nervously, "Who else is there besides us? It can't be that kid named Dou, right?"

Tofu?

I couldn't help hissing, and said in my heart: That boy Tofu always sheds tears and doesn't bleed, could it be him?But when I listened carefully, the sound was whimpering and muffled, and I couldn't tell from which direction it came from. It was really impossible to determine whether it was the sound of tofu.At this time, Wen Min said, "Why don't we look for it, is it because Xiaodou met you?"

Lei Zi raised his voice slightly, and spat, "What's the matter?"

I listened to the crying, although I felt that Tofu would not be so scared that I cried, but what if it was really him?So he nodded and signaled everyone to pay attention to the voice.As we walked on, the sound became clearer as we went, and then I heard it coming from our left.

It is close to the wall of the sacrificial pit. The width of the entire sacrificial pit is about ten meters or so. Due to the shroud of bad luck, the light is dim, and our flashlights cannot reach the head.I pulled out my dagger and called Tofu's name in that direction, but there was still no response, only crying. At this time, the tone of the voice changed a little, becoming indistinguishable. At first we thought it was a man crying , I thought it was tofu, but after listening to it, it looked like a woman again.

Zhuan Rui seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Crying Spirit."

What he meant was that it was not people who were crying, but the ghosts who were martyred here.

I heard the voice change several times, and I knew something was wrong, so I nodded, took back the dagger I had drawn out, and said, "It doesn't matter, get out of here first." It stopped suddenly, and then, everyone heard a clicking sound in their ears.

It was the sound of feet on bones.

But we were all in place and didn't move.

With a trace of fear in Wen Min's eyes, he said, "Someone is here."

But will it really be a human being?
Accompanied by the footsteps from the left, everyone raised their guns and picked up their weapons in unison. For a while, no one paid attention to the zongzi saluting above our heads.
