Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 601 The truth about death
"I don't trust you."

Wu Xie took a deep breath with a headache, and suddenly felt that the journey to meet Brother might not be so easy soon.
Wu Xie had always known that Hu Ming was a daring person, but he never expected that Hu Ming would actually dare to do such a cruel thing.

This is no longer something that can be described as a bear's heart and a leopard's courage.
"That's totally unrelated. My brother and I have reached an agreement. We both want to kill the leader of the team."

Hu Ming said Wu Xie is still too young!
The passage leading to the underground palace was not long. In just a few minutes, the group had passed through the corridor and arrived at the first open space.

Everything around was built and arranged according to the ritual specifications recorded in ancient burial scriptures.

The four walls of the square space are all carved with images of ancient and remote ghosts and gods.

only…

What was placed in the hall was not a coffin, nor any funerary objects or narrative stele.

Buried here is a horrible puzzle made up of countless dry bones!
The skull and chest ribs form the palm, and the remaining scattered bones form the seven fingers!
"Qizhi, Li Cu, do you feel familiar and kind? Just like meeting a family member?"

Hu Ming poked Li Cu beside him and teased in a low voice.

"The picture on my back, is this a coincidence?"

Li Cu didn't want to pay attention to Hu Ming, with fear still in his eyes, and asked Wu Xie softly.

"It's not a coincidence. The pattern on your back is exactly the same as the arrangement of these bones..."

"why?"

"I want to know why, too. You'll find out once you go down the path!"

Wu Xie fiddled with the dry bones, and unnoticeably took a small object buried in it into his arms, rubbing it secretly, and understood everything in his heart.

While Su Nan and his group were exploring the surroundings, Wu Xie pointed at Su Nan.

Wu Xie, who had already learned Su Nan's true identity from Hu Ming, was very clear about the meaning. Was the death of Huang Yan and his group, and the death of Lan Ting and his people, done by the Wang family?
Hu Ming nodded.

The Wang family has been searching for Gutongjing for a long time. Over the years, countless people who have been searching for Gutongjing intentionally or unintentionally have all been buried in the sea of ​​sand.

"Judging from the degree of decay of the skeleton, it was left here about three years ago, and the number of people should be around ten."

Hu Ming picked up a piece of bone, crushed it with a little force, drew conclusions based on the desert environment, and talked about it.

"Judging from the scattered clothes, equipment and other debris, these bodies should belong to a team."

At the same time, Su Nan also noticed some information from the subtle details.

"Yes, they are the owners of some of the cameras. As for the members of the other team, we don't know yet."

Wu Xie clapped his hands and said meaningfully.

"No, there is another person who left here!"

The rebellious teenager Li Cu stared at a familiar piece of clothing and said in a deep voice, "He is too familiar with that piece of clothing!"
That was the fragment of Huang Yan's clothing that attacked him that night!!!
Li Cu, unwilling to remain a hostage, launched a weak resistance for the first time, trying to cause some trouble for Hu Ming and Wu Xie.

just
"Three years ago, Guan Gen, do you remember anything? Here's a hint, Lan Ting! This girl is quite interesting!"

Everyone ignored Li Cu, and Hu Ming openly changed the subject.

"Ah, now I remember. I never expected that our friend three years ago was actually a ghost. This is really unexpected information."

"Perhaps what happened here was too sudden. Lan Ting didn't even realize that he was dead. He lived like a normal person for three years!"

Wu Xie lit a cigarette and sighed with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, Sekine, I'm suddenly more interested in this woman. This is the first time I've encountered such a strange existence."

Hu Ming grinned and said meaningfully.

"Wait, Lan Ting? I know this woman! She is a well-known young writer in Taiwan. Half a month ago, she was found dead at home. How could she have died here three years ago?"

"Did you two make a mistake? Like someone with the same name?"

Su Nan felt a chill rising in his heart and asked in surprise.

At this moment, everyone felt a gust of eerie wind blowing through the underground palace out of nowhere, chilling their bodies and minds!
"You're right, look here!"

"There are differences between male and female skeletons. Female skeletons are relatively slender, with relatively delicate bone surfaces and lighter bones."

"Especially the pubic bone, which is wide, short, low, flexible, and has a large angle, mostly 120 degrees. This is obviously a pubic bone structure unique to women!"

"There are two complete female skeletons. By the way, we have investigated and found that there were only two women in Lan Ting's team three years ago."

"They are Lan Ting and her best friend Daodao. The time, place, and people all match... This can't be a coincidence!"

Hu Ming pulled out some debris from his seven fingers and pieced them together into two complete skeletons, with the corners of his mouth rising more and more.

"But how is this possible? Didn't the media report that Lan Ting committed suicide at home some time ago? His body was even found!"

Su Nan was still a little bit incredulous and tried to refute Hu Ming's conclusion with facts.

"Coincidentally, some time ago, Lan Ting once again joined an expedition group heading to Gutongjing. I think after coming here, she recalled her past memories and remembered the reality that she was already dead."

"There are always some incredible powers in this world. Lan Ting committed suicide at home? His body was found? There are ways."

At this moment, Wu Xie dug out the past of the Qinling Sacred Tree from the depths of his memory, and thought of his childhood friend who had died with his mother long ago but now lives like a normal person in the United States.

Perhaps it was Lan Ting's obsession that gave her this incomprehensible ability, and perhaps by excluding all impossible results, the remaining conclusion, no matter how unbelievable, was the truth.

Lan Ting died three years ago!
The Lan Ting that Hu Ming and Wu Xie knew was a special existence similar to an obsession body, different from ordinary ghosts!
