Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 190
No one can understand my fear at this moment, even if I have made all-out determination, the weird scene in front of me makes people feel weak all over.In the coffin filled with bad luck, the stench was disgusting, and this tattered human head was suspended in front of my eyes, and under it, a headless corpse was holding my lighter.

Surrounded by deathly silence, I can almost hear my heart beating like a drum. The head in front of me didn’t open its mouth, but the vague voice still rang in my ears, asking me non-stop. : Are you looking for it?
People often say that scaring people to death, scaring people to death, I have always relied on my own boldness, and never believed that people can really scare people to death, but at this moment, I felt that my blood stopped when I was really scared, and I couldn't move an inch. A human head was pressed against my face, and the stench was coming out of my nostrils. Those green eyes seemed to be bewitching.

When I was stared at by it, I was frightened at first, and then my brain became a little dull. When I realized it, my hands were out of control, and I actually strangled my own neck.

It wasn't until I felt severe pain in my neck that I woke up in a jerk, knowing that I had fallen into the trap of zongzi.The hard zongzi pounces on people and often injures people with brute force, while ghosts are good at deceiving people.I didn't expect that in this coffin, there were not only hard rice dumplings, but also soft rice dumplings. At this moment, I was controlled by it, and the hand pinching my neck became more and more forceful.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to choke himself or suffocate himself to death, but this is obviously not a normal situation. I soon felt that my lungs were swollen, and the feeling of suffocation made people feel as if the chest cavity was about to explode. It jumped even more, and in a trance, I suddenly remembered the human figures carved on the coffin lid. They all maintained a strange posture, with their hands on their necks.

At that time, we speculated whether this was some kind of strange ceremony, but now it seems that these nine coffins were clearly prepared for our group!Could it be that the metaphysics and alchemy were so wonderful that Xu Fu had predicted that there would be today more than 2000 years ago, so he carved a humanoid pattern on the coffin lid?

But then, I felt something was wrong.There are only nine coffins here, but there are clearly ten of us. If Xu Fu really had such a good fortune, why is there only one coffin missing?
Does this mean that one out of ten of us will survive?What about the remaining nine?Will they all be like me, encounter this shocking scene in the coffin, and then strangle themselves to death?I thought of Gu Wenmin, and then thought of Tofu. At this moment, I didn't have the heart to think about other people. My only thought was, if people really had to die, I hoped they could live on.

Perhaps my strong will to survive played a role. I felt that I had gradually regained control of my body, and the human head was still attached to my face. At this moment, after the strong fear passed, my brain became more sober , perhaps because people's stress response is not only sober, but also more acute.

The moment I regained control of my body, my first reaction was to punch it out. The head probably didn't expect this, and made a strange howl, and was photographed on the coffin board.

I thought of the legend of the mahogany exorcism, and I didn't care if it was useful, so I immediately took off the mahogany hand bead my grandfather gave me, and when the thing flew forward again, I slammed the mahogany hand bead into its broken mouth. Plug, the string of mahogany beads that have been with me for 20 years was just stuffed into its mouth.At that moment, the human head seemed to have an expression, and the rotten flesh on the face twisted for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the hand holding the lighter on the corpse under me also dropped with a bang, as if it had suffered some heavy blow.

I thought to myself that there is a way, it seems that this trick is useful, maybe the ghost coffin has already been broken, no matter what, the only way to find a countermeasure is to escape from the coffin first.Immediately, I tried to push the coffin lid again, but I didn’t expect to push it up immediately this time. I was overjoyed, and I didn’t care about other things. I immediately tried my best to push the coffin lid to the side, almost continuously. Tumbling out of the coffin.

When my body touched the hard and cold ground, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Here, the entire tomb was pitch black. My lighter was left in the coffin. Although I had the equipment bag on me, the flashlight went somewhere. Tofu and others disappeared without a trace. Five fingers, so quiet that only the sound of my own breathing can be heard.

Even though he had climbed out of the coffin, the stench still lingered. Without a gas mask, the smell entered people's noses without any scruples.

I knew that Tofu's life might be hanging by a thread, so I didn't dare to delay. Remembering that there was a headlight in the equipment bag, I quickly went to the equipment bag, took out the headlight and placed it on the head, and turned on the switch, and a beam of light shot out immediately. Light up the dark tomb.In front of my eyes is still the previous tomb, the only difference is that out of the nine coffins, only one is open, and the rest are tightly stitched.

I swallowed, looked into the coffin, and immediately felt my stomach churning, but unfortunately I couldn't vomit anything.I saw a dry purple headless old corpse lying in the coffin. The corpse was covered with corpse oil, and there was some greasy corpse fluid in the coffin. My gas mask was soaked in the corpse fluid, and it was already Impossible to use anymore.

And that human head, looked at under the strong light at the moment, was blood red and purple, making it even more frightening and terrifying.Its split mouth was wide open, and inside was my string of mahogany bracelets.This bead had already saved me once in Huiyonghe Wen's coffin tomb, and once again when I encountered a cat at the bottom of the river, and now it is the third time. This is a treasure.

I knew that it might be used in many places in the future, and naturally it was impossible to keep it stuffed in the mouth of the head, so I came up with a way and decided to destroy the corpse.Except for the headless corpse, the execution corpse could not be picked up, so I endured the nausea and took out the dagger I lost before from the coffin, quickly dug out the eyeballs of the head, cut off the ears and nose, and broke the limbs of the corpse .

Although I am brave, I have experience in killing chickens and fish, pigs and sheep, but this is the first time I have dissected a corpse. Nausea fear.After doing all this, it took only 2 minutes, and my body was already covered with corpse oil. One can imagine how embarrassed I was.

I didn't dare to delay, I immediately took out the hand bead from the mouth of the head, observed that it did not rise again, and immediately touched the lighter in the coffin and lit it.

The corpse was covered with grease, and a fire ignited immediately when I touched it, I was relieved and ignored the coffin, and hurriedly picked up the nearest coffin, ready to pry it open.All I carry in my equipment bag are bucket tools. I used a coffin pry to forcefully pry the coffin lid. After a pry, a crack opened in the coffin. I didn’t expect it to be so smooth. Rub the corpse oil on his face.

I didn't care about these things, and quickly pushed the coffin lid away, and a pair of human legs were immediately exposed inside, wearing hiking boots and tight outdoor clothes, it was Gu Wenmin or someone else.Looking up, her hands were strangling her neck tightly, she was obviously dying. When she saw me, her eyes widened immediately, obviously she was asking for help.

I already had experience, so I didn't care about being gentle right now, I immediately grabbed Gu Wenmin from the coffin, and was going to pull her out of the coffin first.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the pull, another pair of hands appeared under Gu Wenmin, grabbing her shoulders fiercely, pulling her down instead, and fighting with me.

Perhaps because of my interference, Gu Wenmin regained control of her body, coughing non-stop, coughing with tears in her eyes, and trying to crawl out of the coffin, but the hands clasping her shoulders were so powerful that she died. Clutching her shoulders and skulls tightly, Gu Wenmin gasped in pain, and in desperation, she said, "Chop off its hands."

Yes.

Why didn't I expect that this time, the dagger is ready-made, and it is the equipment allocated by the four robots, chopping bones is like chopping tofu.My heart was secretly refreshed, and I said to fuck your mother, you bastard, I will hack you to death.Unexpectedly, before I could move, the coffin lid that I pushed aside started to close by itself, and it was about to jam my hand.

Gu Wenmin's eyes were wet, and he said: "Leave me alone, let go." It's too late to cut at the other party now, if I don't withdraw my hand in time, the coffin lid will be stuck directly.With such a thick material, it is not difficult to directly snap off my hands.

In the nick of time, I lifted my leg violently, firmly pressing against the jammed coffin lid.The coffin lid was extremely powerful, and all my strength was concentrated on the coffin lid, and I couldn't compete with the big rice dumpling under Gu Wenmin immediately. For a while, Gu Wenmin was pulled back into the coffin again, and the rice dumpling's hand was instantly shattered. stuck her neck.

It wasn't until then that I realized something was wrong. Those hands were different from the zongzi I had seen. They were not mummified corpses covered with corpse oil, but a pair of pale hands covered with corpse spots.I realized that Gu Wenmin's body should be fresh zongzi.Sure enough, after looking at it this way, I found that the body under Gu Wenmin should be a male corpse. We have seen that costume before, and it is exactly the same as the Fusang people on the island!
But at this moment, my whole body was fighting against the heavy coffin lid, and I didn't have the time to save Gu Wenmin. For a moment, I couldn't help but see burning eyes, and the blood rushed straight to my forehead.

How to save her?Damn it, I only hate that I don't have three heads and six arms, so I can only watch Gu Wenmin struggling in the coffin.

Just when my eyes were about to burst, Gu Wenmin suddenly stopped struggling, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking that she was going to die, but at this moment, Gu Wenmin's slender legs suddenly lifted up, and immediately opened, They hooked on both sides of the coffin, and I immediately understood that she was trying to use her legs to sit up from the coffin with her last breath.
