Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 85
According to legend, this ghost is the shadow puppet buried in the tomb was infected by the spirit of the corpse, forming an evil spirit, which can grab people's shoulders and pull out people's souls to transfer them.But now calm down and take a closer look, our situation is different from that of Shadow Puppet.The shadow puppets patted the shoulders, pulling out the soul of a person and attaching itself to the person, but at this moment, my body is clearly gone.

If it is said that my soul was pulled out and pasted on the mural, that can be explained, but where did the body of me and Tofu go?It's not like the body is glued to the wall, right?If that was the case, we both would have known something was wrong long ago.

I immediately knew that the whereabouts of my body was the key to solving the problem, and I couldn't help thinking hard for a while, and I couldn't care less about counting the time.I don't know how long it will take, the silence, bondage, darkness, and loneliness drive me almost crazy.I am a person with strong self-control, and I can endure loneliness. I used to drill in the deep mountains alone for more than ten days when I sold mountain goods for my livelihood.But in the mountains, at least I can run and jump, and I am accompanied by birds, beasts, fish and insects. The situation is different from the current situation. I still have a feeling of madness, and the situation of tofu can be imagined.

During this period, I made about a dozen kinds of conjectures, but all of them were absurd and uninhibited. In the end, there were only three that were tenable.First: We have really encountered ghosts, and when we encounter ghosts, all unreasonable things can become reasonable.Second: Our bodies are actually still in the tomb passage, but maybe there is something like a ghost covering the eyes, so we can't see it.

The folk saying that ghosts cover the eyes is the same as the method of blinding the eyes. It is said that ghosts or evil spirits cover people's eyes, so that people will see some false images, or certain things cannot be seen in front of them.For example, there is a cliff in front of you, but a person whose eyes are covered cannot see the cliff at all, and walks straight ahead, thus falling to pieces.Those who didn't know thought that the man couldn't think about it, so he committed suicide by jumping off the cliff.

Third: That is, I am still dreaming. Maybe I have fallen asleep when I closed my eyes in the tomb just now, and everything in front of me is just my dream.It's a pity that I can't pinch myself, otherwise I really have to test what's going on.

Just as I was thinking, a powerful light shone in from the entrance of the tomb.

someone is coming.

My mind froze, and I immediately looked to the left, but I could only see a group of powerful beams of light, which were walking towards me following the movement of the master.I knew in my heart that the opportunity must not be missed, and the loss would never come again, so I immediately prepared to pounce, but for some reason, my body was still unable to move, and I couldn't help but think: Could it be that Feng Guishou was lying to me?

But at this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a familiar figure suddenly jumped into my eyes. I was dumbfounded when I saw it. Isn't this Gu Wenmin?How did she get here?
I saw that Gu Wenmin was carrying a heavy equipment bag on his back, with a flashlight in his hand, and his body was also in a mess. There were no wounds, but a lot of rotten flesh and corpse oil.She is obviously very vigilant, the flashlight is shining in all directions, observing the surrounding environment, turning a blind eye to me, her slender figure is slowly getting closer and closer to me, the beautiful melon-seeded face has serious lines, the corners of her mouth are pursed tightly, and her feet His hiking boots clicked lightly with the sound of footsteps.

I was slightly taken aback, she had already walked in front of me, I just felt a warm feeling coming over my face, just like the yang energy that people often say.As soon as she passed in front of me, the faint heat instantly made my body aware, but I was still speechless.Am I going to pounce on Gu Wenmin?
This is of course impossible, I couldn't help but want to smile wryly, but my face was stiff.In this split second, Gu Wenmin had passed me by, and as the distance increased, I felt my body return to that stiff state.Up to this point, I regretted a little, thinking that Gu Wenmin came here alone and didn't understand the strange situation of this tomb passage, so even if he wasn't attacked by me, he would definitely be attacked by other shadow puppets.There is a saying that fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders. I should have jumped at it just now, escaped first, and then looked for a way to save her and Tofu.

While feeling annoyed, Gu Wenmin seemed to have noticed something, turned around suddenly, and stared at her back suddenly, as if she had sensed something.I was thinking about whether I should roll my eyes and attract her like Feng's ghostly hands attracted me. Before I could make up my mind, I saw a pair of thin human hands silently growing on the wall next to her. .

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Wuhu, alas, Gu Wenmin, Gu Wenmin, I told you to go back and you followed me. You let me tell you what's good about you. Even if I want to save you now, it won't help.I sighed secretly in my heart, and I was about to watch Gu Wenmin repeat the same mistakes I made with Tofu, when she suddenly turned around, and fired twice at the protruding ghost hand with the box gun that was said to be picked up. gun.

Gu Wenmin slapped that thing, and immediately took it back.

I was dumbfounded for a moment, and regretted wanting to slap myself twice, thinking: If I had known that this beautiful woman Gu was so powerful, I should have taken her with me in the first place, and I wouldn't have fallen to this point.But after thinking about it, she felt strange, how could she, an ordinary person, have such powerful skills and reflexes?Ordinary people saw a pair of hands suddenly protruding from the wall, and their legs were probably trembling with fright. When she turned around, she shot cleanly. What's going on?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw that Gu Wenmin had learned to be smart. She no longer approached the wall, but stood in the middle of the tomb passage. There was a hint of panic in her dark eyes, but she was still calm, and ran away without running away.

At this moment, she suddenly touched her chest and pulled out something from there. Only then did I realize that there was a small mirror with a long handle in her chest pocket. The reason why she knew Something happened behind him, most likely because he saw the shadow of those ghostly hands in the mirror.

Seeing that Gu Wenmin took off the mirror, she didn't know what she was thinking. She looked at the mirror, then looked around, and suddenly made an unexpected move. She held the mirror by her shoulder and pointed it at the wall on the left. The body starts to move.From my position, I can clearly see what is reflected in the mirror in her hand, all weird murals.

At this moment, Gu Wenmin stopped suddenly, with a look of joy on her face, and shouted: "Xiao Dou!" Looking at the mirror in her hand, I saw that Tofu was standing against the wall in a very strange posture, It's like being cast a hold spell.Immediately afterwards, Gu Wenmin stretched her hand forward, and in the mirror, her hand grabbed Tofu's arm, and with a sudden pull, Tofu rolled to the center of the grave with an ouch.

After the tofu rolled down, the first thing he said was to point to my direction and say, "There is Perverted Chen."

Gu Wenmin quickly walked up to me and looked at me with a mirror. Through the small mirror in her hand, I found that I was maintaining a strange posture with my hands on my shoulders, and I was also standing against the wall, but strangely, I looked away from the mirror, and when I rolled my eyes to look down, I couldn't see my body at all.

Before I could figure out what was going on, Gu Wenmin's hand reached out to me, and I didn't know which part of me I was grabbing. In an instant, I was pulled and fell to the ground, and all my physical sensations recovered. normal.

I was sitting on the ground, and Tofu was panting on his knees. Standing beside me was sweating. Gu Wenmin was holding a small mirror in his hand. He looked angry, surprised and angry, and said, "You two, why did you lose your face?" It's too much for me to come here alone."

I didn't expect her to say this when she opened her mouth, but who am I, I don't lie without blinking an eye. After she finished speaking, I already had a set of rhetoric in my head, and sighed: "You have also seen that this place is in crisis After a while, Xiaodou and I thought about it. The tomb is not a place for girls like you. It is dirty and dangerous. My girlfriend taught me before: Dirty work and work that women don’t want to do must be handed over to men Come to finish, Xiaodou and I are thinking of you, that's why..."

Tofu was also very clever, nodded immediately and said yes, and said: "Miss Gu, our brothers don't want you to be in danger, you are fine, why did you come by yourself? But it's fine if you come, if it weren't for you, we would be killed today." Here, don't say anything. Friendship is regardless of gender, age, or race. From now on, the three of us will be good friends, and we will have the same blessings and share the difficulties! We promise that we will never leave you alone people."
