Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 6 Plan Action
Tofu immediately looked around nervously without being scared, and muttered in his mouth: "Mao Daxian, you have a leader and a debtor. The person who tied you up is Chen Xuan, and I have nothing to do with it. It’s still your benefactor, it’s better if you can grab gold and silver to repay me, but if you can’t, don’t hurt me. The person who hurt you is by my side, and if you are angry, find him.”

I was so angry that I slapped him on the head, and said: "I think I, Chen Xuan, can be regarded as a kind and righteous person. I have always been bothersome to my brothers. How did I know such a coward like you?" .”

I don’t know if I let go of the cat that night or not brought me more bad luck, but when I woke up the next day, my right eyelid twitched violently.As the old saying goes, the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster. Could it be that there is something unlucky today?
Early in the morning, I sorted out some needed tools according to the content in my grandfather's notes.Tomb robbing and mushroom digging, if you really talk about it in detail, the tools you need to use depend on the geographical environment and the tomb chamber, which is too particular.But there are some things that cannot be bought in the world, so I can only let the tofu get the ones that can be bought first.

After eating two cages of steaming steamed buns, our stomachs were full, and we went our separate ways.He bought equipment, and I went to scout around, looking for a place to start.

The section ahead of the Huichong River is a commercial area, which is very crowded, and there is a subway passage under the commercial area.When digging the subway, I failed to dig out the civil servant's tomb by the way. It can only be said that the blind cat didn't encounter the dead mouse, and it deserved it.

Behind is a high-end residential area, which is where I used to live. Of course, I can't afford to live now.

On the left is the high speed, and there is no way to start on these three sides, so I went all the way to the right.It is an old urban area. Shenzhen is used to calling it an 'urban village'. To put it bluntly, it is a slum. Most of the people living there are migrant workers. When I first came here, I also lived in this kind of place.

But this piece of old town has its origins.

It stands to reason that it is located in a commercial street where every inch of land is expensive. These old houses should have been demolished a long time ago.But the reason why it hasn't been demolished yet is because the house has a history.

In the old city, there are several circular watchtowers. The more economically developed the city, the more cultural heritage it pays attention to. There has been a lot of controversy over whether to demolish the watchtowers.Therefore, before the results came out, this area was preserved like this.

When I walked into the old town, there were quite a lot of people here, but the further I walked in, the worse the environment became.Narrow walkways, hanging clothes, torn wires, and a lingering stench of garbage.

Walking in, the number of residents gradually decreased, and a few old buildings could be vaguely seen, and the area was almost empty.

That building is called the Alley Building, and it is a few old dormitory buildings in the 60s. On the walls of the building, there is a large Chinese character written in red paint.When I inquired with the people around me, I immediately felt that there was a door.

This building will be demolished in two months, and the corridors inside are dark and the circuit is aging. 300% of the residents have already moved out, and it looks like a few abandoned buildings.Even if you look at it in the daytime, the light is gloomy, so few people go there.The owner of the building kept the housing price very low, with a rent of [-] yuan a month.

In this city where land is very expensive, where can I find a house that costs 300 yuan a month?

Nowadays, the only few remaining households are mostly lonely and widowed old people who cannot be poorer. There are only two or three households in a building. Looking from a distance, it is gloomy and empty, with no trace of people, like a ghost building.

After I inquired about the situation, I already had an idea in my mind, so I immediately contacted the landlord and asked him to rent a room on the first floor.The landlord was a local, spoke old Cantonese, and his mouth was filled with the smell of cigarettes. He said: "Lian Qingren, I will rent you a fire, but it is only two months, and it will be demolished after two months. You have to think about it." .”

I said: "It's chicken, I will definitely move when the time comes." After finishing everything, I took the key and met with Tofu at night, and I told him my plan.

"Hu Laoxia failed because he was too obvious. If we want to succeed, we have to take a roundabout approach and close the Chinese-style burglary. I have already paid the rent. Let's prepare our things and move there. There was no one there, so we drilled the shaft from the room. When the house is demolished in the future, it will be blasted with explosives, and when the time comes, all the underground robbery holes will collapse, and no one knows what we did, without anyone noticing."

After listening to Tofu, he immediately expressed admiration, and said with a thumbs up: "Tall, it's really tall, no wonder you used to do business, you didn't even blink, because your brain is the same structure as Zhuge Liang."

As soon as I heard him talking about business, I felt aggrieved and sighed: "Little Dou, people make mistakes, and horses make mistakes. I don't know people clearly this time, and people have given me the wrong. After finishing this ticket, wait for me If there is a chance to make money, you can see how I clean them up. Let’s not talk about this, show me what you bought.”

That night, we checked our equipment, and the next day, we went to the first floor of Laoxiang Building with cleaning tools.There was no one in the dark corridor, and the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling were all black and dusty, and the light emitted was very obscure.

Tofu was timid, shrinking his neck and said: "Have you ever had such a nightmare. It was trapped in a building, chased by ghosts, and then ran in the dark corridor, but couldn't get out?"

I looked at the painted iron door in front of me, and stuffed the key in. The door was not easy to open, and while tinkering with it, I replied: "Of course I did. Nine out of ten people have this type of nightmare. I have seen it. Scientists said that it is because people are under too much pressure and have a feeling of being trapped in the subconscious, so they have this kind of trapped dream. Why are you talking about it when you are fine?"

Tofu asked, "Why do I feel that this is so similar to the haunted building in my dream?"

When he said this, I couldn't help but look at the narrow and gloomy environment around me. Not to mention, it really looked alike, and I felt a little trembling for a while.But since I was a child, I was not controlled by anyone, and I was more courageous. I also thought that it is broad daylight, even if there are any lonely ghosts, it is impossible to come out at this time, so I educated Tofu: "You are a man anyway, don't be like a sister Lin. Yes, it would be embarrassing for me to take you out..."

While speaking, the iron door was finally pushed open, and when it was pushed, there was a harsh friction sound.It has not been turned on for a long time, and the room is a little damp. As far as the eye can see, there are two bedrooms and one living room, with a bathroom outside.

There are no floor tiles on the ground, it is old cement paste, the inside is empty, and some mold has swelled.Although renting this house is just a cover, we will live here for the next month, so we and Tofu started to tidy up the place.Open the windows to let in some sunlight and let the musty smell out.What should be moved, what should be tidied up, after finishing all these, it is already night.

Tofu grumbled in his belly, touched his belly and said: "We have worked hard for several days, let's spend a little extravagance tonight, let's go, I will treat you to a barbecue." There is a barbecue outside the old city, and I noticed it yesterday Arrived, as soon as the tofu said, thinking of the taste of grilled skewers, they couldn't help but feel greedy. The two immediately closed the door, went to the barbecue restaurant, ordered some beer, prepared to eat and drink tonight, and officially started work tomorrow.

When I was eating full of flavor and drinking happily, I suddenly felt something was wrong.He poked Tofu's waist, lowered his voice and said, "Is that little girl next to you looking at us all the time?"

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was dressed more maturely. It seemed that she hadn't gone to school.In this area, there are many young migrant workers like this, and she should also come for supper.Things haven't been served yet, sitting at the table, has been watching us secretly, which makes me a little uncertain what it means.

When Tofu saw it, he felt embarrassed immediately, and sighed pretendingly: "Sometimes, being too handsome is also a kind of distress. Our original plan was to dig mushrooms in a low-key way, but who would have thought that I, Yushu Linfeng Saipan Ann's appearance, the girl is reluctant to move her eyes when she sees it, it's too ostentatious, what should I do? Should I wear sunglasses to cover myself?"

I slapped him on the head, and cursed: "Fuck you, don't shoot your mouth full of guns, say you are fat and you are still panting. Why do I feel that this girl is not looking at you, but me?"

Tofu looked at me contemptuously, and said, "You? What's so good about you? Apart from being half a centimeter taller than me, you have zero attraction to women, okay?" Discussing the issue of attraction, at this moment, the girl suddenly walked towards us.

When I saw it, I thought to myself: Is it really an affair?That can't be done, I'm already 28 years old, I have to be principled in life, I can't play tricks on such a young girl.

Just about to let the tofu restrain itself, the little girl smiled at us and sat down opposite us.
