Tomb Raider

Chapter 32 The Corridor of Life and Death (3)
There is some humidity in the tunnel, probably because it is too far away from the ground, and the water cannot evaporate completely. Along the way, I carefully checked the left and right walls of the cave, for fear that some hidden weapon or the like would suddenly fly out.

It took about half an hour for us to walk 300 meters away, and at this time a faint smell came from the corridor.I pinched my nose and looked at Liu Qi, but he seemed to have gotten used to the smell and didn't move much.It was inconvenient for me to say anything, so I covered my mouth and planned to go in. Seeing that I didn't have any spare hands to support the lamp, Liu Qi took the lamp away and walked in front by himself.

I don’t know how long we’ve been walking, but I’ve gotten used to the stench before I knew it. Liu Qi in front of me kept going deeper and deeper with the shaking of the miner’s lamp, and suddenly he stopped for some reason. If he had done it before, he would have stopped immediately He stopped, but he did stop slowly just now.I was a little puzzled and asked him why he didn't leave. Liu Qi blocked my sight and said that there was no way ahead, and asked me to turn back.I thought to myself, how is it possible, I pushed him away and looked forward, and immediately vomited out with a wow.

A pile of oily and shiny things in front were randomly piled up on the side of the corridor, shining strangely under the miner's lamp, and the stench just now came from this pile of things. At first glance, it looks like countless wild dogs The dead bodies are piled up together, and some places have been rotten and only bones are left.

I admit that I am too curious, but now I regret that I ran over to watch it just now. Liu Qi couldn't see his expression clearly because of the sarcoma on his face, but judging from the constantly trembling facial muscles, he can't bear it now. That smell.

I spit out again, because I didn't eat much when I came in, and now I even spit out gastric juice.When I pinched my nose again, I asked Liu Qi what it was, and he said it was a corpse as if nothing happened.

I suppressed my nausea and took another look. The reason why I said it was a pile of things was because I didn't look carefully. Now I saw that it was a corpse that hadn't completely decomposed.

Countless corpses are piled up in a mess, and the corpse oil has completely flowed out, wrapping these corpses tightly. Through the light yellow corpse oil, it can be seen that the clothes of these corpses are very old, and some corpses are not There was no sign of decay, and the fingers were clawed forward, as if trying to grasp something.And some have very ferocious expressions, as if they were in a state of death after being poisoned.

"These are the craftsmen who built the mausoleum back then!" Liu Qi said faintly beside me.I looked sideways at him and saw that he seemed to be numb. I nodded and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and said to him: "Now let's continue walking!"

Liu Qi saw that I was slowly calming down, so he jumped over me and walked in, and I followed behind him tightly holding my nose.When I was leaving, I didn't want to look at those corpses, but I couldn't help but squinted at them because of my inner curiosity.

The pale yellow corpse oil fell drop by drop from the face of the top corpse. I retched to hold back the disgusting feeling, and suddenly an indescribable feeling came to my heart.

This feeling is not out of fear of the dead body, but familiarity with the dead body.

In an instant, the face covered in corpse oil was peeling off in my mind. After removing the corpse oil on my face, I stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.I couldn't be more familiar with this face, with red and white sarcomas and exposed teeth, it was Liu Qi's face in front of me.

God!I don't know what to do now. The person who built Zhao Gao's tomb 2000 years ago died tragically. Now the person who looks exactly like him is standing in front of me alive. This seems too mysterious.Even now, I can't believe it's as simple as a coincidence, because the sarcoma and exposed teeth on the face are exactly the same as Liu Qi's face.

Could it be that this is his ancestor?I shook my head not sure, ruled out this possibility, now there is only one possibility left, and it is also the possibility I am least willing to believe, that is Liu Qi is dead, and the person standing in front of me is a ghost!
I looked up, and Liu Qi didn't notice my panic, but slowly explored the way ahead.I don't know if I should go on with him or not, maybe halfway through he suddenly turned around and said to me: "Actually, I asked you and me to come here to find a substitute!" I patted my head hard, Don't let myself think about such a horrible scene, and think of his weird behavior intentionally or unintentionally before, I am even more convinced that he is not simple.

But judging from the current environment, if I spread this matter out, it would be very bad for me. I have seen some people die in horror movies, but my soul still doesn’t know it, so I still do what I did before I was alive. If one day someone tells him that he is dead, then this person may not be able to bear the blow and willfully kill people.

Similarly, it was also because of this scruple that I dared not tell Liu Qi that although he had frightened me, he had never done anything out of the ordinary. Now one more friend is better than one more enemy.Thinking of this, I pretended I didn't know anything and followed him, but this time I consciously distanced myself from him, so that if he suddenly made things difficult for me, I would be able to deal with it.
