Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 583 The Hub
I thought of the invisible tofu, so I called out the name of tofu into the darkness, but no one responded.

Feng Guishou poured cold water on me, saying that the tofu must be dead, and maybe the ghost was sucked into the demon mirror, otherwise, how could there be tofu's face in the mirror?These words made me feel scared and furious, so I kept a cold face and walked forward, comforting myself not to mention Feng's ghostly nonsense, you have to see people to know what kind of person is, even if you really die, you have to Is there a dead body?
In the dark, I led the team in front, and I was getting farther and farther away from the demon mirror behind.The air quality in the cave seems to be not very good, making people feel a little stuffy, with a faint smell.We had to put the gas masks back on.

Everyone was very cautious, and the team moved forward in silence relying on a flashlight.Not long after, we were already far away from the demon mirror, so Zhuan Rui turned on an extra flashlight, so that the surrounding light became brighter, and the field of vision suddenly widened.

As the surrounding environment became clearer, I suddenly discovered that the floor tiles on both sides were actually laid with floor tiles, but the strange thing is that the floor tiles seemed to be damp or for other reasons, so they seemed to be loose and raised. is very powerful.

Feng Guishou took a closer look, and said: "There are reliefs on this, tsk, it's a bit difficult to look at." I also found that the relief is located in the center and does not occupy a large place, but due to the raised tomb bricks , so it looks jagged, and it's hard to see what it's trying to express.

But at the beginning of the relief, a mark caught my attention.

It was that familiar cross again.

This cross appears again, what does it represent this time?
I frowned, and began to look carefully at the content on the relief. Although it was difficult, I didn't dare to be careless, because I vaguely felt that the cross would be engraved here, and the content on it might be very important.

With the light of the flashlight, I carefully looked at these reliefs that were not easy to identify.After looking at it for a while, I suddenly discovered that the engraving on it was the scene when the cave was built.One of the large square-mouthed coffins with sharp edges was carried into this place.According to the description of the relief, the coffin should be in the innermost position.

But at the same time, there is a scene in the relief that also puzzles us.

I saw the people above, when they left, they covered their faces with their sleeves, as if they suddenly became invisible.Zhong Gong said: "It's strange, is it because of the demon mirror? Could it be that this face cannot be seen by the demon mirror?" His speculation is not groundless, because the people on the relief really started to look after they passed by the demon mirror. Covering the face.

I asked Zhuan Rui.If someone's face is illuminated by this demon mirror, what will be the reaction?
Zhuan Rui shook his head, expressing that he didn't know, he was mature and stable, I didn't pay much attention to him, but now that he was getting closer, I suddenly noticed that there was a thin layer of sweat on the bridge of his nose.You know, the air underground here is not hot and dry, but rather cold, and we don't have much exercise right now, why is he sweating?
I couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Zhuan Rui shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He looked away, as if unwilling to say more.I quietly asked Zhong Gong with my eyes.He also looked puzzled and shook his head slightly at me.In desperation, everyone had no choice but to move on. As for why those people covered their faces, it was unknown.

Walking along the relief for a while, the radioactive cave finally came to an end. At the same time, I saw the big black coffin with a square mouth on the opposite side at a glance.

At the bottom of the big black coffin is a corpse bed about four meters high. The front of the stone bed is shaped like stone steps, and people can step up the stone steps.

In addition, what attracts our attention the most is not the big coffin, but a three-legged tripod in the center.It is round in shape, with many thumb-thick dragons on the outside, with chaotic rules, about one meter high, exquisite and complex shape, majestic and majestic, which attracts people's attention at a glance.

Zhong Gong said: "The tripod is a ritual vessel. The shape of the tripod is strange, surrounded by so many dragons. How could it be placed in this place? Could it be that the coffin is not buried with the tomb, but the owner of the tomb?"

Feng Gui said with his hands: "This coffin is big enough, but I think it's hard enough to hold an elephant. Could it be that the elephant was divided into pieces and put in it?"

As he said that, Feng Gui approached the big cauldron in the center with his hands and lowered his head to look in the cauldron. He let out a sudden surprise and said, "Could it be..." He seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly became serious.I had no time to pay attention to Feng Guishou, and with the flashlight on, I looked around every corner.

No tofu.

It seems that tofu is not in this place.

So what's up with the sound we heard earlier?

Is there some secret passage in this place?
Did Tofu not want to see us, so he left through a secret passage and avoided seeing us?
While the three of us were thinking about it, I found that Zhuan Rui didn't say a word.It stands to reason that he is well-informed, and when encountering such things, he would definitely step up and check it out. Why is there no movement now?I asked him with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Don't hold on to your discomfort."

Zhuan Rui glanced at me, and suddenly said, "I don't know why, but my heart beats faster."

I was a little worried, and said, "It's always been like this?"

Zhuanrui shook his head and said, "It started after we got down to this place." We have been down for at least ten minutes. Anyone who has experienced this kind of heart rate acceleration knows that if this state lasts for a long time, people will sweat and sweat all over the body. Fatigue, more serious, blood supply problems will also occur.

I was shocked, and pressed his shoulders and said, "Sit down and rest first, and see if you can relieve it. Strange, I don't have this kind of situation. Could it be that something is causing trouble here." At this moment, we are all wearing Wearing a gas mask, even if there is something poisonous, it shouldn't have any effect.

What's more, why did something happen to save Zhuan Rui?

I thought to myself, could it be a problem with his own body?
With that in mind, let him rest first.At this time, Feng Guishou said: "I see, this thing is a hub controlled by the organization."

Organ control hub?

I surrounded it, a little surprised, and said, "Could it be able to manipulate all the organs in the tomb?"

Feng Guishou rubbed his hands excitedly, and said: "It depends on the structure of the entire tomb. Maybe you can control all the organs, maybe only half of them. I understand. Do you remember the whistle sound before? Someone must be there Manipulating this thing saved us."

Who this person is is self-evident. My heart sank, and I felt something was wrong. I said, "If that person has been here all the time, how did he know our situation at that time?" How about the wind?

Feng Guishou thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only shake his head.He was very interested in this hub, saying that generally only large-scale ancient tombs with many institutions would have such things, and most of them were sealed in Qionglai, but he didn't know what Puzhen's intention was to set it up in this place.

I said, "Can you use it to see if there is a secret passage in this place?"

Feng Guishou was like a fox seeing a hedgehog. It was a little difficult to speak. He rubbed his hands and circled around the thing, as if trying to find a way. For a while, the huge black coffin buried with him was left behind by us instead. .Along the way so far, I haven't found any clues about the curse. In addition, Tofu suddenly changed his face, and there is no one at the moment, and I feel even more anxious.

Seeing Feng Gui hand circling around the thing, I couldn't help much, so I sat on the ground, trying to calm down my restless mood.

Right now, I'm sitting next to Zhuanrui. For about twenty minutes or so, Feng Guishou seemed to have figured out a countermeasure. He said, "I'll try it. Anyway, it shouldn't affect us much." The hand reached into the cauldron.

Inside the tripod, there was something like an eight-treasure box. I heard a click. It should be that Feng Gui opened the lid of the box. Immediately afterwards, I didn't know which part was moved. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the space. ring.

really!

It seems that the previous rescues were all because someone was manipulating this thing.

Who is that person, the identity is ready to be revealed.

I scolded Gou Niang severely, and greeted the eighteen generations of tofu's ancestors in my heart.

Immediately afterwards, I asked Feng Guishou, "What does this whistle sound control?"

Feng Gui shook his head and said, "It's not certain, but there is no danger."

I got angry because of it, and said: "You don't know anything, so you mess around?"

Feng Gui's mouth was stiff, and he said: "Practice the truth..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly said: "What's wrong with you?" When he said this, he looked at Zhuan Rui who was next to me.When I heard this, I couldn't help turning my head. At this moment, I suddenly saw that Zhuan Rui's head was buried very low for some reason, and his shoulders kept shrugging, as if he was crying.

However, the next second I knew I was wrong, because with the shrugging of his shoulders, a strange laugh came out of Zhuan Rui's mouth.

Yes, he was not crying, but laughing, and that kind of laughter was extremely weird, with a high-pitched voice, completely different from his usual voice!
Zhong Gong became anxious, and said: "The head of the house! What the hell, did you get passed by the thing in the demon mirror?"
