Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 180
Tofu complained: "Xu Fu is too stingy. He built such a big place just to put a few poisonous wooden boxes. It's okay to bring a chicken and a dog. At least he can sell some cigarette money." While talking, We walked to the end, and at the end was a thick tomb wall, with black and blue tomb bricks tightly fitted together, tightly blocking our way.So Tofu and I turned around along the wall of the tomb, ready to look elsewhere.

Just then, I found a fire dragon on the wall of the tomb.

The so-called fire dragon is the lighting facility built around the curtain wall. Generally, there will be a light trough every few meters. Between each light trough, a thin slit will be drilled to connect it, and the inside will be filled with lamp oil.When lighting in the tomb, you only need to light one of the light slots, and the rest of the light slots will follow, lighting up in a circle, like a fire dragon.

I couldn't help being overjoyed when I saw it, and said: "I don't know if the lamp oil in it is still useful. Light the fire dragon, and the view will be wider. It will be much easier." I reached out to touch the lighter, but I didn't touch it for a long time. When I bought it for more than 1000 yuan, it can't be extinguished by a small wind or rain, and it can last for three hours. It has always been a treasure, why is it gone?
Tofu probably noticed it, so he took out his one-yuan plastic lighter and said, "Use this."

I said, "Did you see my lighter?"

Tofu said, "Aha...that, I didn't see it." I stared at his face, which was obviously lying, and said, "Leniency is allowed for confession, strictness for resistance."

Tofu struggled for a while, and said, "I'll give it to fourth brother." I knew he was talking about robot number four, so I couldn't help being confused, and said, "I won't hold you accountable for giving away my things, but you Why did you give it to him?" Tofu immediately became proud when he heard the words, and said: "It's a long story, it's like this, I made a comparison with the fourth brother, do you remember that day..." I was thinking I heard that tofu has a special reason, and I will give away the most expensive thing I have now. Unexpectedly, I just started talking, and suddenly, there was a scream in the darkness.

That hoarse and old voice is Professor Lin!
No, something went wrong!

Tofu stopped talking, and we looked at each other, our eyes were full of horror, without saying a word, we immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.It was in the southeast, a little far away from where Tofu and I are now. When we ran to the place, the rest of the people had already arrived. Only Wu Sidong was sitting paralyzed on the ground, and Professor Lin was not seen.

I asked, "Where are people?"

Tofu said, "What happened to the old professor?"

The rest of the people had obviously arrived not long ago, and they were all confused, Robot No. [-] immediately squatted down, and lifted Wu Sidong, who was sitting slumped on the ground, with a distorted expression, and said in a slightly stern voice: "Where's Professor Lin? "

"No, I don't know..." Wu Sidong stuck out his tongue and looked terrified, and said, "The teacher is walking in front, and I am walking behind, and suddenly...a black shadow emerged from the wall, the teacher turned around and pushed me away." I slapped it, I fell to the ground, I didn't see clearly for a while, and then...then the teacher disappeared."

A dark shadow?

Get out of the wall?
Tofu swallowed his saliva, looked around cautiously, and said, "Could it be... there are soft rice dumplings in this place?" I'm not sure, Wu Sidong was probably stunned by the situation at that time, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't take it out at all. I said, "Everyone pay attention to the walls, and find a way to find Professor Lin first." The scream just now made me feel very uneasy. If we don't hurry up, Professor Lin will die.

The people were reassigned immediately, and they worked in groups of two, looking for Professor Lin's trace.I put my attention on the wall that Wu Sidong mentioned, making various speculations in my heart.What can get out of the wall?It seems that only soft rice dumplings can explain it.But we haven't even seen a single corpse so far. Where did the soft rice dumplings come from?Even if it was really taken away by the soft rice dumpling, there should be a clue, right?Professor Lin is a living person, how could he disappear in such a strange way?
I thought to myself: Could it be that there are some organs on this wall?
I'm really not good at organs. If there is a master like Feng Guishou here, things will be easier.But the four robots are official robbers, and they should have learned some tricks, so I called robot four and asked him to search the wall in front of us.Robot No. [-] shrugged his shoulders as a petty gesture, but what left me dumbfounded was that instead of touching it with his hands like Feng Guishou, he took out an instrument from his equipment bag and scanned it on the surface of the wall.

Robot No. [-] explained: "This is an air defense detector. The wall of the tomb should be solid, but if there is any mechanism installed here, then when placing the mechanism, there will be some mechanisms inside to leave a gap. This instrument can be detected.”

Is it so amazing?Wouldn't Feng Guishou's hard-working skills be in vain?

Tofu and I looked at each other, and we probably thought about the same thing, so we let robot No. [-] carry out the detection. According to the plot described by Wu Sidong at the time, the scope of the tomb wall detection we needed to detect was not large, and we found out in a short time. Robot No. [-] looked more and more serious, and finally shook his head at us.

I was about to speak when I heard another scream in the darkness. This time the voice made me shudder, because that voice was none other than Gu Wenmin!In an instant, my eyes felt hot, and a rush of hot blood rushed to my forehead, and Tofu yelled directly: "No, something happened to Miss Gu!"

The two of us reacted faster than Robot No. [-] at this time, and ran towards the direction of the sound.This time the direction was different again, it came from the northwest.At that time, Gu Wenmin was on the same team as Robot No. [-]. Relatively speaking, in our team, apart from me, the four robots had the best skills, and Robot No. [-] was even better. Out of personal selfishness, I naturally Ask Gu Wenmin to follow number one.

But now I regret it, I should let her follow me all the time!
When running to that place, Robot One's reaction was completely different from Wu Sidong's before. He was obviously more calm, and said directly: "On top of our heads, those things are sliding down the wall from above our heads."

I said, "Where are people?"

Robot No. [-] said: "The speed is very fast, and the person has been caught!" Our flashlights can't shine on it at all, and the entire top is pitch black, and the ghost knows what is hidden on it.Fortunately, No. [-] has keen observation skills and relatively calm behavior, so after the incident, he was not frightened like Wu Sidong, but provided us with a favorable clue.

I immediately thought of the fire dragon, and immediately called everyone to light the fire dragon.However, after a light was turned on, it seemed like an infection. A tongue of flame rose along the wall of the tomb, and the speed was very fast. unfolded before our eyes.

This is a huge rectangular tomb, and in the middle is the stone pillar we have seen, on which are those empty wooden boxes that exude a strange fragrance.And on the top of the tomb above us, there are round holes that are obviously artificial, just like the caves of wild beasts.

Robot No. [-] said: "That thing should have come out of that hole. It can slide against the wall. It has claws but no feet. I didn't see it clearly. It moved very fast. Miss Gu disappeared from my eyes all at once." Tofu was not timid at all at this time, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Beauty Gu and Professor Lin must have been dragged into the hole by that thing, we have to find a way to save them."

After Professor Lin was taken away, the little girl Duan Fei was very anxious, almost crying, and said, "But it's so high, how do we go up?"

Tofu reacted quickly at this moment, pointing to the stone pillar leading directly to the top of the tomb, and said: "Climb from there." His words reminded us that everyone dared not waste any more time, for fear that something unexpected would happen to Gu Wenmin and Professor Lin , Immediately climbed up the stone pillars one after another, and reached the top in a short while.Around the top of this stone pillar, there are several dark holes.

I'm not sure what it was that took Gu Wenmin away, but now it seems that it's definitely not some soft rice dumplings, it's probably some creatures that live in the crypt.

I climbed to the top and put a flashlight into one of the openings, only to see that the opening was not only vertical, but the inside was crooked, obviously it was some kind of animal's burrow.

The size of the entrance of the cave is just enough for people to climb in. I thought to myself that the only way to go is to break into this tiger's den. I immediately said to everyone: "The caves inside are winding and winding, and they are probably connected. I decided to Go in and look for someone. Duan Fei, Wu Sidong, Xiaodou, the three of you stay here, and the rest of you will go in with me to save people, each drill a hole and work separately, do you have any comments?"

None of the four robots had any objections. Tofu would definitely follow me if he wanted to rest. He is timid, but he is not a person who would abandon his brother and run for his own life.

I saw that he had something to say, so I persuaded him: "You stay here, these two comrades are both educated people, they can neither wield a knife nor a stick, if something happens, you have to stand up and stand up." Come out, all our equipment is left here, you guard it well, there is a long way to go."

Seeing what I said, Tofu could only nod his head.The four robots and I acted separately, armed with guns and weapons, and began to drill into the hole.

I can't figure out what the monster described in the robot's mouth is, and why it lives in the tomb.In fact, in most ancient tombs, there are likely to be some crypt animals. Because of the passage of time, in the geological movement, the ancient tombs will inevitably reveal gaps. Some crypt animals, such as snakes, weasels, etc., can easily live in ancient tombs. The structure of the tomb is comfortable and requires no effort. It is a natural place to live.

I wouldn't be surprised if I encountered something like a boa constrictor here, but what does the robot describe as having claws but no feet, which can slide against the wall?There is nothing like this in my images.
