Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 592 Arrest
I walked into the hall with the light on, and saw that the front hall was a small space, about 60 square meters, surrounded by tables and chairs, and facing the door, there was a moiré worm table. It was shaped like a table for the Eight Immortals, with hundreds of insects carved around it, and at a glance, I saw a pile of very obvious debris on the table for the Eight Immortals.

Stepping up to take a look, I saw this pile of slag, which was rectangular in shape, and it was obviously dust formed after things like bamboo slips were broken.

Harichagai looked at the pile of dust and said: "The one that can be placed in the front hall looks like an ordinary thing, but unfortunately it is damaged." I nodded in agreement, and looked to the right. The place is an arched The door, apparently leading to the back of the front hall.

In ancient times, the main hall was divided into a main hall and a small hall. Some small halls were in the front and some big halls were in the back. held here.

When I observed the layout, I decided that it was a pattern with a small front and a large rear, so the main hall mentioned by the mute should be at the rear of the front hall.

Unexpectedly, when I looked at the position of the arched door, I immediately saw a half-hidden figure in the darkness standing at the door. With the movement of my gaze, the figure was like a thief who was discovered in an instant. Just run in!

"Tofu!" Although the place was dark, I only saw a blurry figure, and I couldn't see the person's face and clothes clearly, but his stature and his running were monkey-like movements, not Tofu who was paid a thousand dollars. Who else could it be.As soon as he ran, I was furious, and I immediately ran after him with a flashlight.

This time I reacted very quickly, and ignored Harichagai who was wandering around, and stepped into the arched door in a few steps. run.I hurried over to have a look, and it turned out that there was a big hole at the base of the wall, which seemed to be made by something, and Tofu was trying to escape through this hole, but most of his body had already gone in, leaving his buttocks in the hole. Outside, I grabbed the belt and couldn't get in anymore.

"Come out!" As I said that, I pulled the person out.

This kid still didn't give up, and continued to drill in. In a rage, I kicked his ass, and cursed: "You still want to run, you boy have made us miserable, I let you run!" Scolding and kicking, saying that if you don't fight today, you will cry for your father and mother, and my surname will not be Chen.

"Ouch, ouch, don't, don't kick, I don't guarantee if I can hold the shit if I kick it again." The kid was finally willing to speak out, and quickly stepped back, covering his buttocks with his hands and yelling for mercy.

At this moment, he was blocked by me in the corner, holding his buttocks, showing a pitiful appearance.As soon as I saw him, I thought of the fearful experience along the way, and I was furious, but I saw no wounds on his body, except for the dirt on his face, and there were no other traces. These dead and wounded people are much happier.

Tofu swallowed, looked at my face carefully, and said, "Don't, don't be angry, just listen to my explanation..."

I knelt down and looked at him, and couldn't help but say coldly: "What else do you have to explain? Do you know how many people were killed or injured along the way? You don't want to tell me what happened between Ji and Shixian Me, I don't need to pursue it, but since you know the structure of the giant ear king's tomb, why didn't you tell me? Even if you tell me a little... nothing will happen later."

Tofu's expression was filled with guilt, and he was about to cry. He said, "I didn't expect you to come out of that secret room. I just wanted to solve the problem by myself, and I came back to you, so that no one would have to take risks. It wasn't intentional... how many people died?"

This time, Harichagai also caught up, looked at us, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "I thought something happened, it turned out to be you, why are you covering your butt?" Tofu said in surprise: "Red hair, why you?"

Harichagai danced the staff in his hand with a smile, and said, "Is it a surprise to see me?"

Tofu said: "Bah..." Immediately afterwards, he looked behind me and saw that there was no one else following him. He immediately looked shocked and said in a trembling voice: "No, they won't all die, you are the only one left. two?"

I was very angry, and said, "Aren't you very disappointed that I didn't die?"

Tofu became anxious when he heard the words, and he didn't bother to cover his buttocks, and said gesticulating: "You, you have no conscience, how could I have such thoughts. I didn't mean it, who knew you could escape Ah, this place is so dangerous, I don't want you to come in."

When I heard this, I didn't know what to say for a moment. Obviously, Tofu really knew the situation of this place a long time ago.It was speculation before, but now it is confirmation. In an instant, I felt betrayed, and it was my most trusted brother.

These years, I have regarded him as the only relative other than my grandfather, not a real brother, but better than a real brother, but now, I feel a knife poking in my heart.

My throat was a little choked, and I couldn't speak for a while, and my eyes were a little hot. Seeing me like this, Tofu stopped his violent movements, shrank his head and said, "Old, old Chen, are you okay? Don't be angry, I was so angry that I hurt my body, I, I..."

At this time, I found my own language, forced myself to calm down, and followed what he said just now: "You know this place is dangerous, you know the situation here, why didn't you say..."

Tofu opened his mouth, but once again showed that hesitant expression.

I was completely heartbroken, stood up, moved out of the way, and said, "Let's go. I won't ask you, force you, or beat you. From today onwards, I'll pretend I don't know you before." Tofu stood still. The anger in my heart finally broke out, and I couldn't help shouting: "Get out, get out! Don't let me kill you!"

Tofu probably didn't expect me to say that, and probably didn't expect me to react so strongly, as if the sky was falling.

Harichagai looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and looked at the excitement. He picked out his ears and said, "Why are you making such a big fuss? No one has misunderstood." He patted Tofu on the shoulder and said: "I said Xiaodouzi, the surname Chen usually treats you well. I can't tell, you kid is usually soft and sloppy, but this time you dare to do such a daring thing. Look at what made Chen Xuan so angry What’s wrong? If you don’t admit your mistakes, I don’t think this brother will come back in the future. People are not afraid of doing wrong things, but if they are wrong, they must make up for it quickly.”

After Tofu reacted from the initial shock, his expression became extremely complicated when he heard what Harichagai said. After a while, he said cautiously: "Old Chen, I didn't mean it. Getting angry is easy to cause kidney failure."

I said, "Stop talking nonsense, talk or get out."

Tofu said: "I won't leave, you didn't buy this place..."

buy it?I fucking have the money to buy an ancient tomb of Kaishan, can I still use it to open an antique shop?This remark choked me up, and I couldn't help laughing, which was definitely out of anger, so I said to Harichagai: "Okay, don't talk to him, let's do our own thing."

Harichagai nodded, shrugged his shoulders, gave Tofu a self-seeking look, and walked behind me. I shifted my gaze, treated Tofu as a transparent person, and began to observe the surrounding environment.This should be the main hall mentioned by the mute. The space is relatively large. When the flashlight hits it, you can't see the end at a glance.

The floor tiles are cyan bricks with dark patterns, and less than ten meters away from us, there is a rectangular platform of white marble. At a glance, you can see the scene of cranes with cloud patterns and the scene of immortals welcoming each other. , this is a corpse bed.

The white marble corpse bed is simple and soft, like a ball of suet under the light.

Could it be that this is the coffin chamber where the owner of the tomb resides?

However, looking at the size of the corpse bed, the magnified elephant can't fit in it. It seems that my previous guess is correct, the owner of the tomb of King Juer is someone else.

But it's strange, now the corpse bed is empty.

When Tofu saw me and Harichagai pretending that he didn’t exist, he got anxious and kept waving in front of my eyes, like a pug, trying to get our attention, and kept admitting his mistakes, but he just didn’t talk about the topic, he didn’t talk about the topic, I will continue to consume.

Harichagai is also very cooperative at the moment, and when he does not exist, Tofu is swearing to admit his mistake, Haricagai said to me directly: "This thing is jade? What is it for?"

I said, "Placing a coffin is equivalent to a living person's bed."

Harichagai said, "What about the coffin?"

I said, "I don't know. Since this place is where the main coffin is placed, there must be a mechanism. It is impossible for Puzhen to allow people to come in openly. You hide behind me and be careful." Tofu couldn't get in a word. Go up, heard the words, jumped up, and said: "I usually hide behind you!" As he said, he pushed Harichagai away, and said: "I was wrong, brother, uncle, I, I said... I said I still Can't you?"

What I was waiting for was his words, and it was only at this moment that I took my eyes back from the corpse bed, then stared at Tofu, and signaled him to speak quickly and fart quickly.
