Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 57 Speculation
Tofu is just a little timid, but in fact, many times, his head is very smart.This sentence is on point.Gu Wenmin was probably saved by someone, but the one who saved her may not necessarily be a good person.

The light at the bottom of the pit must be someone turning on a flashlight or something, which means there must be someone down there.Tofu was about to say hello, but I slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Don't make any noise, I haven't figured out who is below, and the marksmanship is so accurate, it's definitely not a good match. We shouldn't startle the snake. , wait and see the situation."

Tofu is impatient, so he was stopped by me, so he could only look down eagerly.The yellow light was indistinct, and under our gaze, it became increasingly dimmer, as if there was some passage below, and the people below were getting further and further away from the center of the pit.

Tofu and I watched the movement of the halo over and over again, while listening to the movement below, maybe because the people below walked very lightly, or because the pit was too high, we could not hear any movement, and the light The halo was getting dimmer, seeing that even the corpses of the snakes could no longer be seen clearly, I was about to tell Tofu to act immediately, when the yellow light below suddenly went out, and the pit was plunged into darkness again in an instant.

Tofu said: "What's going on? Their flashlights are out of power? Are there any batteries left? Let's sponsor two so we can continue watching."

I didn't expect it to be so sudden, and I couldn't help saying: "Sponsorship? Could it be that you threw two batteries down, and then called down: Hey, we sponsored the battery, replace it quickly, do we want to continue peeping? Your mother is pregnant When you were there, your stomach wasn’t caught by the door, right?”

Tofu got angry and said, "You are not allowed to speak of my mother."

"Okay, okay, your mother's stomach is not caught. Hurry up, get on the rope, and let's go down."

I brought up the topic of tofu, so I forgot about his mother being trapped by the door. I dug out the rope in twos and twos, hit a rope stake, and began to slide down the pit. The 15-meter rope was just placed on the bottom, and the foothold of Tofu and I happened to be on the body of the snake. At this moment, I turned on the flashlight and looked at it. When I got closer, I could see it more clearly.

I saw that this human snake was terribly long. The lower body was a snake, the middle was a human body, the neck was about three meters long, and the top was the head. It was covered with dense green snake scales, and there were several blood marks on the tail. Tofu and I were injured, but its real fatal injury was on the side of the head. It was shot in the temple, and the red, white and white brains were faintly visible, which looked disgusting.

When I was a fishmonger in the past, I used to kill fish for others, pumping intestines and brains. .

This kid is timid and incompetent, I have known him for so many years, and I am used to it, so I ignored him, squatted on the side of the man's head instead, took out the dagger, and poked it along the temple that was blown away, causing a burst of red Red and white brains flowed out.

Seeing the tofu suddenly, he gasped in shock and said tremblingly: "You are still not convinced when you say you are a pervert. You... what are you doing? You plan to take out the contents and use them as tofu Brain eater?"

I said casually, "How about some pepper?"

Doufu was crying, looking extremely disgusted, and shouted in a low voice: "Pervert, why did you give up the treatment!" As soon as he finished speaking, I found what I wanted, picked up the dagger, and a bullet jumped out.The bullets with the brains are small, silver, and have a round head.As for firearms, my research is not very deep, but I can still see which bullets match which guns.

This kind of bullet can only be used on pistols. Almost instantly, I thought of that bald fat man. They are the only ones with pistols. Could it be that they were the ones who 'saved' Gu Wenmin?What is their purpose here?
Tofu probably didn't understand it. Seeing me staring at a bullet, I couldn't help but said anxiously: "Don't look at it, the day lily will be cold again. Gu Damei is so beautiful, if she meets a pervert or a beast like you What about the rogue?"

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle, and if you know who the enemy is, your chances of winning will be higher.I threw the bullet and signaled tofu to follow me.

The bottom of this pit should be the lair of human snakes, but it is definitely not made by human snakes. It is obviously artificially polished, and to repair such a place in the crevice of the rock, one or two people will definitely not be able to do it. At the beginning, this place should be It was built by a certain team.

What is the purpose of opening such a passage in the mountains?

We found out by accident that we came here. That bald fat man and that little beauty shouldn't be an accident, right?
On the left side of the pit, there is also a square passage, which is not polished smoothly.The reason why the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker just now is obviously because the person who was holding the flashlight at that time walked along the passage, so it took away the light.

I glanced at the ground and found that it was no longer a rock structure, but a hard layer of soil.Every few meters, there is a recess in the wall, showing signs of being smoked, and it seems that it should be a place for placing torches for lighting.

Because of the soil structure, there are some traces on the ground, and a series of footprints are left in the floating soil. However, tofu and I were surprised that from the footprints, there was only one person from the beginning to the end.

The footprints are relatively small, and it looks like it belongs to a woman.

Tofu was a little surprised, and said, "What's going on? Could it be that we guessed wrong, there was no one else? The one who shot was Miss Gu? But where did she get the gun?" The question Tofu asked at this moment made me wonder. , it seems that the previous speculations were all wrong.The bald and fat man didn't come here at all, the sound of the gunshot and the shot that accurately hit the temple were all made by Gu Wenmin!

Tofu still found it unbelievable, and excused Gu Wenmin, saying: "She is a weak girl who is engaged in photography art, how can she have a pistol? I must have misunderstood it."

I asked Tofu: "Who do you think has a pistol?"

Tofu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in shock, "Could it be that Miss Gu is a scumbag?"

I guess my face at this time is also a little ugly.

With lingering fears in his heart, Tofu said again: "If Miss Gu is really an idiot, then our journey would be too risky, but fortunately we have not exposed our identities, otherwise we would really be a wolf.

I was interrupted by him, and I couldn't help asking: "The wolf enters the sheep's mouth? What do you mean?"

Tofu curled his lips and said, "Hui Tailang fell into the hands of Pleasant Goat."

I was already desperate for the IQ of transforming tofu, so I waved my hand and said, "Let's try not to be Big Big Wolf, let's go."

Doufu said: "Still going forward? Since she is really a note, let's take this opportunity to break up. I know you are interested in her, but there is a saying: with a knife on the head of Sezi, we always I can't lose my freedom for the sake of beauty, I don't want to go to jail." He gave me a pitiful look, obviously retreating, and he was completely different from the spirit he had when he was furious and wanted to avenge Gu Wenmin before.

Therefore, this person cannot be stimulated, and will be impulsive when stimulated.In the future, if there is such a thing as a pioneer, I will stimulate this kid more.

Thinking of this in my heart, I analyzed Tofu: "Whether she is Tiaozi or not, it is too early to make a conclusion. We can't go back. Once the snake is dead, the snakes around the temple have no scruples. Let's Going back, wouldn’t she be sent to die? Presumably, the Dragon Temple must be full of snakes by now. Secondly, if she is really a scorpion, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that we are very suspicious. After all, there is no normal person. If she came to such a place, she must have suspected us. Therefore, breaking up at this time is suspicious."

Tofu frowned, and said: "So, we must meet up first, find out the truth of her identity, and eliminate her worries about us."

"That's right." I encouraged Tofu, and led him to continue walking. At this moment, at the end of the passage, there was a conversation between two people. When I heard this voice, I was stunned. : What is this called? Why did these two people pop up again?
The voice was none other than the bald fat man and the little beauty.

Could it be that Tofu and I misunderstood Gu Wenmin after guessing wildly just now?But what about that single footprint on the ground?
