Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 170
The Fusang man had thin arms and legs, sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, a pair of eyes gleaming cunningly, and a canvas hat on his head. He was kicked by the carp, bent his knees, and fell to his knees in the sand.The three probably didn't expect us to have so many 'accomplices'. Seeing that Tofu didn't say a word, he drew his sword and danced around, and immediately regarded us as a vicious person. The previous arrogance was swept away, and the three of them had six eyes. The child is floating around, I don't know what kind of plan he is playing.

Tofu said: "It's not a good thing when you see it. The man asked you something, and explained it quickly. Why did you come to the island?"

The three of them stopped being tough with us, and simply pretended that they were not good at Chinese. The fat man who understood Chinese was a fat man with a shiny and rough surface, and said: "What are you talking about, I don't understand... let us go." Professor Lin frowned. He frowned and said, "When you met them, didn't they have bags with them?"

Bag?I was not sure what this meant, so I asked, "What's the difference between having a bag or not?" Professor Lin said that there was a big difference. If it was just the three of them, they would definitely have to carry equipment when they came to such an island. Equipment bags, that only shows one problem: they still have accomplices, and most of the equipment is there.

This reminded everyone, I can't see these three people pretending to be dumbfounded and delaying time, but seeing that the fat man was still pretending to be stupid, I stepped on the back of his neck, put him on the ground, and shook his head slightly. When I was exhausted, I cried for my father and mother. I winked at Tofu and said, "Shut up your mouth."

I was overjoyed, and thought that if it was my brother, this move would be a real loss, but the person concerned still had a righteous and serious look.In this way, the fat man's body became a curved shape, his face was pressed against the sand, his neck was stepped on by me, his big buttocks were raised and he couldn't move, but whenever he exerted his strength, the bones in the back of his neck would be painful. But they couldn't cry out, and the other two Fusang people were so scared that they were dumbfounded and their foreheads were sweating.

I said: "When do you want to talk, then take out the socks." The fat man's eyes widened when he heard that, and he kept shaking his head, expressing that he wanted to confess. Then Tofu pulled the socks and asked him to cooperate .He only heard from the fat man that his party was just an ordinary expedition team, which was of a recreational nature, and they happened to meet Ah Ying alone, so they became lustful and tied them up.As soon as I heard this, I was lying. In a normal expedition team, who would kidnap someone and play hooligans without saying a word. Seeing that he was not telling the truth, I kicked him hard. No matter how hard he tossed about afterwards, the fat man refused to tell the truth, seeing that the sun was about to set.

Carp murmured directly, and said: "I can't tell, these people are very tight-lipped. Could it be that we really performed the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty? They don't think it hurts, but I don't think it's troublesome." Wu Sidong said: "What if What if their accomplices are here?"

I found three coconut trees nearby, tied the three of them to the trees, and said, "We have guns, so we don't have to be afraid of people." In fact, these three people have learned enough lessons, and the noses and faces were swollen by us. Behaving suspiciously, I just let them go, but in the current situation, if they let people go, these people and their accomplices will definitely retaliate. We thought that there is no one on the island, so we can do it freely. Now A few Fusang people appear, and if you don't pay attention, good things will be ruined.

I decided to just tie him up like this, and everyone will leave early tomorrow morning. Since the three of them have accomplices, some accomplices will definitely come to look for them at that time.The island is not big or small, and it will not be easy for the two groups of people to meet at that time. Even if they do meet, it’s fine if they don’t come to provoke us. If there is any evil intention, our guns are not vegetarian of.

As soon as I stated my idea, everyone agreed, so I didn't bother anymore. I collected food and made a dinner. After eating and drinking enough, I picked some banana leaves and spread it on the floor, and then I fell asleep.

Since there will inevitably be some insects and snakes on the island, we arranged a night watch. This job is covered by four robots, and each person takes two hours to take turns without being tired.The sound of the waves and the sea breeze made me fall asleep, and I soon fell into a deep sleep. I don’t know how long it took. When I was dreaming, I suddenly heard a scream in the dark night, and the shaking seabirds flapped their wings. I also fell asleep from the dream. woke up.

The bonfire was still burning brightly, and it was already dawn in the sky. I was startled by the voice and stood up, and said vigilantly, "What happened!" It turned out that the voice was robot No. [-], who was on duty at the last shift. Looking in the direction of the coconut grove, he looked like he had seen a ghost.The rest of the people were also awakened by his cry. Following that gaze, I felt that the tiny muscles in the eyes were a little uncontrollable. There were three Fusang people tied up there, but at this moment, the necks of the three people were all crooked. On one side, the whole body was stained red with blood, and from the neck, a trickle of blood burst out, dyeing the sand red.

How could this be?
My scalp tingled, and I thought that although these Fusang people behaved suspiciously, I never thought of killing them.

Professor Lin reacted quickly at this moment, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and save people!" Everyone rushed out the medicine to stop the bleeding, and when they looked closely at the wound, I suddenly felt as if my heart had been ruthlessly beaten by a hand. After pulling it, I saw that the bloody wound on the neck had bitten through an artery, and the traces of the wound seemed to be bitten out by someone.

"Wake up, hold on." Tofu beat and scolded terribly yesterday, but in the end it was three lives, and now he has forgotten the feud, and he is so nervous, but we have limited first aid equipment, and we are still helping to stop the bleeding At that moment, the three of them lost their breath one after another.After this tossing, almost everyone was covered with blood. Looking at the three bloody corpses in front of them, and looking at the teeth marks of the man on their necks, they felt chills coming from their backs.

Who would actually bite them to death in this way?
When everyone thought about this question, they immediately focused their attention on robot No. [-].Robot No. [-] usually becomes unreliable when it comes to eating, but most of the time, he is calm and alert. He has quickly recovered and explained the situation to us.Since it was the last shift and it was already dawn, the sky was slightly drunk, so he relaxed his vigilance a little.

Just now, I felt anxious, so I found a place a little far away to put the pit. After all, it can't be too close. If it's too close, it won't kill people?From arriving at the place, taking off his pants and squatting in the pit, to returning, it took about ten to 15 minutes. When he came back, he was already in this state, and then he cried out in shock.

In other words, these three people were killed within 15 minutes. The hideous wound on the neck and the sticky blood more or less formed a picture in everyone's mind.Robot No. [-] went to the Mao, and when everyone was asleep, someone killed the three of them.Does this seem like something a normal person would do?

Ah Ying shivered and said, "Who could have done it?"

Li Yu frowned, and said, "Anyway, we're not from our place. Could we have made a mistake in our judgment? Even if we wanted to kill someone, we wouldn't use such a disgusting method." Quiet, I immediately found a very obvious clue that we have been ignoring.

The criminal's footprints were left on the sea sand.

The footprints are very clear, and there is a back and forth, each leading to the sea, and it is a barefoot person.

Tofu took a deep breath and said, "People come from the sea. They go ashore and bite people to death, and then return to the sea... Could it be sea ghosts?"

I said: "Ghosts are invisible and intangible things. How can they kill people? There must be something weird. Come and see with me." I said hello, and everyone just woke up now. I didn't even bother to put on my shoes, so when I was putting on my shoes, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind.

But this idea is a bit too nonsense, and you need to go to the beach to confirm it.

A group of people hurried to the beach following the footprints, but saw the string of footprints slipping into the sea.

This made everyone unexpected, how could a person come ashore from the sea?Did nothing after going ashore, killed three Fusang people and returned to the sea?Even if it's a sea ghost, it's really boring.Besides, why only bite Fusang people and not us?It stands to reason that this is the boundary of Fusang, even if it is really a sea ghost, if there is any ethnic hatred, it should attack us.

I stared at the footprints that slipped back and forth on the beach, and the faint conjecture that came up before couldn't help becoming clearer, and the more I thought about it, the colder my hands and feet became.

Gu Wenmin was bold and careful, and suddenly noticed the abnormality, and asked me softly: "What's wrong? You look so ugly?" When everyone heard this, their eyes turned to me.

Duan Fei said: "Brother Chen, you have always been the most thoughtful. Tell me what's going on. Is there really someone living in the sea? And they will go ashore to harm people?"

Li Yu asked, "Could it be a ghost?"

Ghost woman is the name of the seaside people, in fact, it means water ghost. The folk description of water ghost is said to be changed after death. Got it.There are solid ones. According to legend, they look like a hairy black meat ball, and some are white meat balls. It is said that someone once captured a water ghost.The thing was round when it was picked up, and it had an extremely stench. The black hair on its body was longer than a woman's hair, and it could only be burned to death by lighting it on fire.

And the hags in the sea, that is, water ghosts, are different from the water ghosts in rivers and lakes. There are folk rumors in the sea that they have human bodies, just like human beings, except that there is a black tail behind their buttocks. , no nose and eyes, only a mouth on the face, it will climb ashore to suck human blood, so at night, the adults on the beach will not let the children go to the beach to play, fearing that they will be sucked by the hag.
