Tomb Raider

Chapter 45: Human Sacrifice (3)
I always thought that people are in extreme fear when they touch something that they cannot touch, but now I know that fear is not a thing.

Fear is not being able to guess the unknown danger ahead, and fear is knowing that there is danger ahead but not knowing how to solve it.

At this moment, I am on the verge of collapse, and the things I have encountered one after another have surpassed the bottom line of my thinking. If God is merciful and willing to turn back the time for one day, I will continue to bury the blueprint of my great-grandfather’s room.I can't blame others for all this. In the final analysis, curiosity is too strong.

The scene in front of me completely surpassed everything I had seen before, even when I saw thousands of terracotta warriors hanging, I was not as scared as I am now.

Under the light of the miner's lamp in Mr. Wang's hand, the same mummy as before leaned against the stone wall in front of us intricately, layer upon layer, as crowded as a rural market.

So many mummies are not enough for me to be so afraid. After all, they have been dead for thousands of years, and I have never heard of Chinese mummies that can cause corpse changes.The root of my real fear is that there is a chain spreading in the abdomen of those mummy corpses, just like the first time I encountered them.

□□I don't know if he was frightened stupid, he was already standing there dumbfounded, the miner's lamp in his hand was still held tightly by him.I turned my head to look at Liu Qi, his face was not very good-looking, he was obviously much stronger than me.

"What the hell is this? Is this Zhao Gao a psychopath?" I closed my eyes tremblingly, venting my dissatisfaction tremblingly.

After a few seconds of silence, I felt Liu Qi beside me stand up suddenly, and opened my eyes in doubt. He walked up to the mummies and looked them over before walking in. □□At this time, I also came back to my senses, walked to me tremblingly, and asked me in a low voice what Liu Qi was doing.

I glanced at him dissatisfied, and wondered how I knew what medicine he bought in his gourd.But he said to him: "You go over and take a look, he is looking for your ancestors inside!"

This joke is actually just to adjust the dignified atmosphere. He didn't say anything when he saw that I didn't hesitate to sacrifice. He just glared at me like Liu Qi and turned his head away. Obviously he didn't want to see these weird mummy .

At this time, Liu Qi was puzzled. I thought he had discovered something and hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, I saw him waving at me.However, he still worried about these things and asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Liu Qi stopped shaking his hands and said, "Come here and take a look, doesn't it look familiar?"

After he said this, I was startled, and I sighed secretly. We have seen the bodies of both of us. Could it be that what he sees now is the dead body?Because of this thought, my head was a little dizzy, and I didn't plan to go there, but there are some things that cannot be escaped, even if I really see the dead body, I still have to control my mood.

When passing through the dense forest of mummified corpses, I also struggled violently in my heart. If what appeared in front of me was really his corpse, how should I respond, should I be frightened or deeply suspicious?
The short distance of ten meters felt like walking through a thousand mountain roads. When I stood beside Liu Qi, I immediately let go of the burden in my heart.

A stone platform with an area of ​​four square meters was placed in front of the two of us. The top of the stone platform was covered with a layer of black substance, and in the center, there was a groove that was two meters long and half a meter wide.

Without Liu Qi's explanation, I already guessed where I saw it. This is the scene I saw on the back of the mural.And the mummified corpses bound in chains in front of us also came from this stone platform.

Seeing me coming, Liu Qi said quietly: "It seems that these mummified corpses are human sacrifices. After the blood is drained, they will be chained and chained to the backbone to worship the heavens. Even if they die, they must guard this tomb!"

Indeed, Zhao Gao deliberately wanted to become a monarch. Even if he could not enjoy that kind of etiquette while alive, he would still have to be served by thousands of people after death.
