Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 84 The Wall

At this moment, I was alone in the dark tomb passage, and the companions around me disappeared in an instant, and the panic in my heart can be imagined.I hastily called out Tofu's name, several times in a row, and the sound echoed in the tomb passage, making it even more hollow.There is nothing that answers me but the echo.How could a living person disappear out of thin air?

If something happened to someone, that's fine, how could the footprints on the ground disappear without a trace?In an instant, I thought of Feng Guishou. Tofu and I had guessed why Feng Guishou had disappeared. Now it seems that, like Tofu, something strange happened.

Is there some mechanism?
I stood where I was, not daring to move rashly for a while, my heart was pounding, no matter how courageous a person is, he is still a person, not a god. Human beings are born with fear of the unknown, which made my hands and feet feel cold, and my heart Countless thoughts flashed through, worrying about the safety of the tofu, but also being clueless about the weird situation in front of me.

I recalled my grandfather's work notes, which also recorded my grandfather's personal experience of tomb robbery. There are some weird and weird things in it, but I have never encountered such a situation. What is going on?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out.My character is not of the type who sits and waits to die. After some weighing, I bravely walked back.This tomb passage is not long at all, and there must be a reason for the sudden disappearance of Tofu and Feng Guishou.This seemingly ordinary Feixian tomb passage.There must be something I haven't discovered yet. I walked back along the way I came from and looked around the tomb passage with 12 points of energy. The murals on both sides are mottled in color and beautiful in shape.At first, I just took it as ordinary Feixian murals, they were all illusory things, and I didn't pay much attention to them. Now when I looked carefully, I suddenly found that something was wrong.

This mural is divided into left and right.On the right is the scene where all the immortals gather, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and the owner of the tomb is ascended to heaven. I can recognize some of these immortals with obvious characteristics.For example, the Queen Mother of the West, the Eight Immortals, Fulu Shouxi, Magu, Anji Xianweng, etc. sitting on the top, although some of them cannot be named, but they are more or less familiar, as if they are real immortals of Taoism.

But the mural on the left side is a bit strange. Although the immortals on it are also flying in the clouds, and the sun is shining, but the shape is very strange, there are men and women, and some expressions are very strange, full of an evil atmosphere, although the background is like a fairy cave. , that shape and demeanor make people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

I wondered for a while, which gods are painted on it?
At this moment, I suddenly saw, in the mural on the left, a man with six arms and three eyes, who looked like a shaman mask. His eyes seemed to move. Originally, the eyeballs were looking to the right, but now they blinked. After a while, it slowly moved to the left, as if looking at me from the corner of my eye.This shocked me so much, I immediately held the steel rod in my hand, and shouted again: "What is it, get out of here!"

My empty echo echoed in the tomb passage, apart from that, there was no other reaction. If other people saw it, they might think I was nervous. I waited for a while, but I didn’t see any reaction from the person in the mural, so I couldn’t help but Secretly said: Could it be that my nerves have been too tense for the past few days, and I was a little dizzy from being frightened?
I have always been cautious. Although I knew that I doubted whether I was wrong, I still couldn't help stepping forward to take a closer look. I was very close to the person in the mural for a while.The people in the murals are the same height as real people, with their hands raised on both sides of their shoulders and their knees bent, as if they are dancing to the gods.The eyeballs flick to the left, as if looking at the person on the left.

I followed her eyeballs and saw that the position on the left side of her on the mural was blank. In that case, what was she looking at?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my eyes back to her, but when I saw it, I gasped, because this time, her eyeballs moved again, and the black eyeballs returned to the center. Staring at me face to face.I didn't know well, I knew I should hide, but my feet seemed to be frozen, and I couldn't move at all. At this moment, a scene that made my scalp numb appeared.

The person in the mural, with his hands raised on both sides, gradually stretched out towards me.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in my mind: Damn, this posture is not a great dance at all, it is clearly a movement to pounce on someone, I didn't realize it before, damn it!

The whole process took only a few seconds, and the person in the mural was like Sadako, with his upper body protruding from the wall, as thin as a shadow puppet.I suddenly realized, did Feng Guishou refer to these shadow puppets?Damn it, they're not fairy tales at all, but shadow puppets pasted on the wall, and they've already turned into puppets at this moment.

The thing landed on my shoulder in an instant, and exerted a sudden force, trying to drag me into the wall.What does it want?Do you still want to pull me against the wall?This is simply not possible.

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I felt like my brain had been hit by a heavy hammer. I felt a dull pain in my head for a moment, and my eyes turned black. When I opened my eyes again, there was a dark graveyard in front of me.There is no light source in the tomb passage, but the strange thing is that at this moment, I can see everything clearly. My body can't move, only my eyeballs can move.At this moment, I saw clearly that there was a figure lying in the tomb passage, it was Feng Guishou!
He quickly stood up from the ground, moved his head, his eyes suddenly stayed on my head, and said meaningfully: "Brother, I'm sorry. If you want to come out of the wall, just do what I did just now. Pull in the next person who passes by here." What was he talking about?I just felt terrified, rolled my eyeballs, and immediately discovered in horror that my body was gone, replaced by a thin piece of skin stuck to the wall.

I was actually posted by Ghost Shadow!
After the man surnamed Feng finished speaking, he picked up his equipment bag and headed towards the end of the tomb passage. In the darkness, I only saw that he was delayed for about ten minutes at the end of the tomb passage, groping non-stop. All of a sudden it disappeared.I know that he probably found some mechanism, but unfortunately because of the distance, I can't tell what he did. I groped there for a long time before, and there was nothing unusual. He only lasted about ten minutes. Then he found the passage, and it seems that the pair of mechanism hands are really not a decoration.

Thinking of Feng Guishou's words, I just felt angry. From this point of view, it was clear that he was thrown by the shadow puppet just now, and he took me to replace him.This is a strange thing to say, I would never have believed it in the past, but with the lessons learned from Yinyang Liubu Village, I have no choice but to believe it now, and my heart turned back and forth.

So far, it seems that Tofu is also in trouble. Maybe one of the people in the murals I saw before was Tofu. He must not want to harm me, so he didn't attack me, but was picked up by Feng.

I wanted to speak, but it seemed like I had no throat, I couldn't say anything, and I couldn't move my whole body.

If, as Feng Guishou said, we need someone to replace us in order to escape, wouldn't Tofu and I be trapped here?Except us?Who else would come to this place?I suddenly thought of that little beauty surnamed Ren, and I couldn't help feeling a glimmer of hope in my heart.Some of her subordinates are rushing here, counting the time, it's almost time to arrive, maybe Tofu and I can take this opportunity to get out of trouble.

Although the idea is good, but at this time the tomb passage is dark and deathly silent, and Tofu and I can't communicate, just like the paralyzed dumb, not to mention how miserable it is.Time goes by in a blink of an eye, and I can only estimate the time by counting. Every sixty count is recorded as one minute, and every sixty minutes is recorded as one hour.

I didn't feel it at first, but after counting for six hours, I couldn't take it anymore, and I couldn't help feeling a sense of fear in my heart.If that little beauty gives up halfway, will Tofu and I be trapped here forever?Just thinking about it makes me shudder.With the passage of time, the chance of Ren Xiaomei's arrival seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer, so I have to turn my brain to think of other countermeasures.
