Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 91 Ghost Mirror
"Ghost mirror?" Doufu muttered, and said in a low voice, "The name is a bit vague, what does it mean?"

In the dark, Feng Guishou explained to us the origin of it.At first, he didn't see the reason for the structure of the tomb, until he discovered the bronze mirror in the coffin, and then he remembered the legend of the 'ghost mirror'.

There is a folk saying that one should not look in the mirror at night. It is said that it is because the mirror reflects the world of the underworld, and it is easy to see fierce ghosts in the mirror at night. 'Ghost Mirror' is a man-made mechanism that has always existed only in legends.It is said that three men were chosen, hanging upside down from the top, with a mirror above their heads.The man's ghost was frightened by the ancient mirror, and was forcibly sucked into the mirror. Over time, it became a ghost mirror.

Everything that is illuminated by the ghost mirror will be brought into the world behind the mirror.

So, how can you tell if you have encountered a ghost mirror?It's very simple, when you find that the world around you is upside down, it means that you have entered the world of ghost mirrors.

As Feng Guishou's words fell to the ground, everyone's panting became obviously thicker. I only felt that my heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, and Feng Guishou's words flashed in my mind: When you find that the people around you When the world is turned upside down, it means that you have entered the world of ghost mirrors.

Could it be that we have... been dragged into the world of ghost mirrors?

Just thinking about this thought sent chills down the spine, and for a moment, it seemed as if cotton was clogged in the throat, and he couldn't speak at all.

Feng Guishou probably expected our reaction, swallowed his saliva, and said: "So, I asked you to turn off the lights. Without a light source, the mirror can't reflect anything."

"And then?" I asked, "What should I do next?" To be honest, there is really no such thing in Grandpa's notes.

Feng Guishou said: "I'm just speculating, I think, only when the light source is turned off can we get out of this place."

Gu Wenmin was very smart, and he forcibly calmed down at this moment, and said: "No wonder we turned back and saw the same situation when we turned the corner. It seems that before entering this tomb, when we were still in the tomb passage, we had already... Trapped by a ghost mirror."

Feng Guishou said hoarsely: "That's right, I thought so too. When I was groping for the mechanism, what I touched was a double dragon buckle."

Tofu asked, "What is Double Dragon Button?"

I have seen this in my grandfather's notes. The so-called double dragon buckle is a kind of mechanism. It is a life-and-death mechanism. If you are not a master, it is difficult to judge which is dangerous and which is safe.After I explained to Tofu, I said, "Old Feng, don't tell me, you made a mistake on the Ssangyong buckle?"

In the darkness, Feng Guishou smiled wryly, and said: "It seems that I probably chose the wrong path now. The double dragon buckle has tampered with it, misled me, and blame me for being blind." Doufu cursed and said, : "Damn it, I was wondering why the mechanism you opened didn't close automatically. It turned out to be waiting for the people behind to get in."

Gu Wenmin sighed, and said: "It's useless to talk about it now. Now that the lights are out and the light source is gone, even if we want to go out, we have to choose a direction. How should we go?" Feng Guishou pondered, Seemingly unsure, he said, "I guess the entrance should have been closed long ago, unfortunately..."

"What a pity?" I was in a hurry right now, he kept talking, which made me want to beat someone up, I don't know if it was really because of the curse, but when I think about it carefully, my temper now is really quite Irritable, I have to suppress this irritable with indifference.If Tofu hadn't reminded me back then, and I had deliberately controlled it, I guess I would have kicked it over by now, and I would have taken out to greet his ancestor.

Feng Guishou said: "It's a pity that there is no explosives. If there are, we may be able to blow up a way."

Gu Wenmin said: "But, aren't we still in the ghost mirror?"

Feng Guishou said: "This is just a legend. In fact, I still don't believe it. Maybe the reason for this kind of statement is that the ancients deliberately changed the environment to affect us. However, it is always good to be careful." He finished speaking I have nothing to say, it seems that I can't think of any tricks.I am not a passive person, and I will never sit still when things happen. When I listened to the movement above my head, my heart broke down and I said, "Turn on the light."

Feng Guishou was startled, and said, "What are you going to do?"

I said: "Since it is the mirror that is causing trouble, break it; if there are ghosts living in it, kill these three ghosts." While talking, I turned on the light, took out a pistol from the equipment bag, Aim at the bronze mirror in the center of the head.As soon as I raised my head, that pale face looked at me face to face, the black mouth was open, as if something would come out.

The clarity of the copper mirror is not high, and the height is seven or eight meters, so I can only see our blurred shadow reflected on the surface of the copper mirror.Without further ado, I fired the first shot.

The brass is relatively soft, and there was only a bang gunshot, piercing the silence of the tomb, and a large piece was immediately dented in the center of the brass mirror, and the bullet was embedded in it.

There was surprise in Gu Wenmin's voice, he looked at me with joy, and said, "Good marksmanship."

Tofu was also very proud, and said: "That is, how can my brother be worse? He is best at shooting pheasants. This marksmanship is all practiced in the mountains. In fact, I am not bad. I also have many skills, but I can't do it for a while." It's just a show..." I ignored Tofu, he was the type who felt uncomfortable if he didn't brag for a day, then he walked under the second coffin and fired another shot at the mirror.I have used a shotgun before, so I have a good aim in my hand. I shot two shots without sloppy, and destroyed both sides. When I was about to hit the third side, Feng Guishou suddenly said: "If we are really in the ghost mirror, the copper Once the mirror is destroyed, will the place we are in disappear?"

I was startled, and said to myself: If this is the case, then what will happen to the four of us?Disappear together?This idea is a bit unreliable. Deep down, I still can't believe that we will be dragged into the ancient mirror by ghosts without knowing it.

After finishing speaking, I didn't wait for Feng Guishou to talk nonsense, and immediately shot, and with a bang, I smashed the third bronze mirror.

Almost at the moment when the bronze mirror shattered, the three old corpses above our heads suddenly stopped, maintained a struggling posture, and became motionless.All the sounds were quiet, and the surrounding was eerily quiet.

This kind of atmosphere is very uncomfortable, but I know that doing nothing means waiting for death. In this kind of place, it is impossible for someone to save us. Instead of doing this, I might as well give it a go.Thinking about this, I said: "The ghost mirror has been destroyed. Next, there are these three hard rice dumplings. To deal with the hard rice dumplings, you have to vent their corpses. This is impossible for my son to play. Old Feng, you still have something to do." What other way?"

Feng Guishou looked a little dazed, and when he heard the words, he came back to his senses, his expression changed, first he smiled wryly, then shook his head, and finally gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Chen, you are resolute and courageous, I am convinced. This is the end of the matter. It's useless to think too much, if Lu Su is here, he can take their heads straight with a steel knife, we don't have a cold weapon at hand, and we can't jump so high, it's better to attack with fire."

Both Feng Guishou and Gu Wenmin are more cautious people, while Tofu is a tangled type, so he may have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to make up his mind.My destruction like this is tantamount to cutting off the way out, breaking the boat, and I can only work hard to the end.Everyone immediately decided to use fire attack.Fortunately, we still have some solid fuel in our backpack. After taking out the fuel, we poked it on the movable steel rod of the shovel. All the steel pipes protruded out, and it was seven meters long. When lit, it was like a torch.

I held up the solid fuel on the steel pipe and ignited them one by one. The corpse was covered with corpse oil, and with just one touch, the raging fire of Santutuan was ignited in an instant.

The thick smoke mixed with the stench spread in the tomb in an instant, choking the four of us to tears, but there was no way to avoid it. Tofu covered his mouth with tears in his eyes and said, "I understand. The real purpose of the people who built this place is In fact, I want us to be smoked to death, oh my god, it smells too bad, Miss Gu, do you have any perfume, spray some on it quickly."

Gu Wenmin covered her mouth and nose, her dark eyes were also foggy with smoke at this time, she smiled wryly, and was about to speak when suddenly, the corpse above her head probably had her hands and feet burned off, and with flames, she moved towards the Gu Wenmin's head fell off.

I was startled, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful." I rushed over in an instant, narrowly dodged, and both of them fell to the ground, hugging each other and rolling on the ground a few times.
