Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 192 Terracotta Warriors
Gu Wenmin staggered, her expression turned pale. Treating her like this is really not what I want, but I know, I can't go on like this, I have already killed Tofu, and I can't hurt her anymore.

"Chen Xuan, what are you talking about?" She wiped away her tears, then forced a smile, and said, "I pretend I didn't hear these words, we..." As she spoke, she approached me, and I looked at her fragile The look on her face seemed to have seen her dying because of me.

"roll."

"...Chen Xuan?"

"It's okay if you don't roll, stay five meters away from me, don't come close to me."

There was a deathly silence in the tomb, the flames were getting weaker and weaker, everyone looked at each other, no one dared to make a sound, Gu Wenmin pursed her lips, as if struck by lightning, and couldn't say a word for a while.Seeing that the goal had been achieved, I could only force myself to shift my gaze, glanced around everyone, and said calmly: "A person has already died, and he can't die in vain. This operation will continue, and no difficulties can stop it."

Professor Lin moved his lips and covered his face, and said, "I should have stopped you at that time. It's all my fault." Now that the tofu man has gone, I don't want to dwell on these meaningless things. Right now I only have two goals, First: get the Liuhe seal and leave this place, and second, find a way to break the curse of the face of ghosts.If I don't find something for myself, set a goal, I will definitely be defeated.

Robot No. [-] said in a deep voice: "What are your plans now?" At this time, he didn't worry about how to deal with Tofu's body anymore, and he probably planned to follow me.

I glanced at the crowd and said, "There is one person missing from our team."

Professor Lin nodded heavily, and said, "Sidong is gone."

Ten people, nine coffins, nine of us were all pulled into the coffin, why was there one coffin missing?
Why did Wu Sidong disappear?Where did he go?
In the midst of great grief, I felt that my brain was so clear for the first time, probably when people are hit hard, it is easier to stay out of things and think about it. I recalled the previous things, and I suddenly remembered Wu Sidong's resentful eyes back then. , I couldn't help but have a guess in my heart: Could it be that all of this has something to do with Wu Sidong?

I brought up this conjecture, Professor Lin and Duan Fei immediately refuted, Duan Fei said: "Impossible. Brother Chen, I know you are not right with him, but although he is stingy, he is not that kind of person. We are even less likely to harm the teacher."

I was thinking very clearly at the moment, and immediately said after hearing the words: "What if he isn't Wu Sidong?"

Professor Lin was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Have you ever heard of the upper body of a ghost? I don't think he will harm us, but I suspect that he is controlled by something. The current Wu Sidong is not the previous Wu Sidong."

After I finished speaking, Duan Fei looked a little frightened and said, "A ghost is on me? Impossible, is there a ghost in this tomb?"

At this moment, Robot No. [-] suddenly made a sound, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "There are indeed ghosts in this place." The experience coincides.

This incident happened in the first tomb room we were in when we first entered the underground palace. At that time, I hung the gecko palm on the top of the tomb, and when I looked up, I saw a huge and incomparable picture in the bronze mirror. Human face, I thought it was my own face at the time, but later I realized something was wrong.While Robot One was climbing later, he suddenly glanced into the bronze tripod.

Robot No. [-] recalled that he had just climbed to the top of the tomb when he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his back. It was a strong sixth sense.His vigilance is easy for ordinary people, and his intuition is also very sensitive, so he immediately looked up.At that moment, he also saw a face in the bronze tripod.The bronze tripod seems to be a mirror that can reflect, and it also reflects a huge face.

That face disappeared in an instant, so that Robot One wondered if it was an illusion caused by his nervousness, so he never mentioned this matter.

I didn't expect him to have the same experience as me. Now it seems that the giant face is not our blind eye, but something is obviously at work.In that cursed chamber, the thing stared at us and followed us.

Duan Fei was both shocked and frightened, and said, "What do you mean, that thing got on Wu Sidong's body?"

I nodded, didn't speak, and glanced at Gu Wenmin, she stood silently aside, as if it had nothing to do with me.I know that what happened just now has hit her hard. Although I haven't known her for a long time, I know her character. She is not a timid person. If I tell her the truth, I am afraid that not only will she not leave me, but she will be involved. in this matter.

Something has happened to Tofu, and I can't let her get involved.Thinking of this, I touched Tofu's body, it was cold to the touch, and my body was already stiff.At this time, the nine ghost coffins had almost been burned, and the fire in the tomb dimmed. Everyone was talking about Wu Sidong and thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, I turned my gaze, and suddenly found that this tomb room, which originally had only one entrance, unexpectedly had an extra entrance at some point.

The entrance is located in the southeast, and there was a terracotta warrior standing there, but now, the terracotta warrior has disappeared, and behind the terracotta warrior, there is a dark passageway.

I was taken aback, and wondered when did this passageway appear?

I asked the rest, and they shook their heads, obviously not knowing why.At that time, I was immersed in grief, and I couldn't feel the passage of time. During this time, the robots set the rest of the coffins on fire.Someone died in the team, and everyone was very depressed, and no one noticed how the passageway appeared.

Now it seems that there should be a mechanism in that place, but we didn't find it before, but why the mechanism suddenly opened is unknown.

Duan Fei guessed, "Could it be related to these coffins?"

I didn't answer her, everything is just speculation now, it's useless to say more, and in this case, I really don't want to say more, if I don't forcefully suppress the grief in my heart, I guess I can't discuss things with everyone right now .

It doesn't matter where the organ is, the most important thing is, where did the terracotta warriors go?Where does this newly emerging channel extend?It suddenly opened so silently, is it too weird?
At this time, robot No. [-] suddenly hammered his hand and said: "I understand, we were thinking in the wrong direction just now." He analyzed that we always thought that this passage was silent when everyone was immersed in grief after Tofu's death. It was opened without interest, but from another angle, would it have opened before the tofu died?
I immediately understood the meaning of Robot No. [-]. At that time, everyone was pulled into the coffin. If according to the previous guess, Wu Sidong is really not Wu Sidong, then, could this passage be opened by Wu Sidong after we were pulled into the coffin? of?Since that thing has been living in this ancient tomb palace, it is not surprising that it knows the mechanism here, right?

Later, after I came out of the coffin, I was only thinking about saving people, and I didn't observe the surrounding environment at all. The rest of the people were also focused on dealing with the zongzi. It was normal that they didn't find this passage.

Could it be that this passage was actually opened by Wu Sidong?
There is no other way here, and the way back is the way back. Although the stone gate is closed, we still have explosives on hand. It is easy to exit, but the way forward seems to be the only way in front of us. What is waiting for us ahead is What?Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and there was no delay. The death of a companion brought the group not only grief, but also the determination to win. If they gave up halfway like this, Tofu would die in vain.

After a while, we made up our minds, took out our headlight belts one after another, held weapons in our hands, and entered the tomb passage ahead.

To our surprise, apart from the relatively dark road at the beginning of the tomb passage, there are light slots on both sides after a few tens of meters away, and the lights in the light slots are still on.This road is straight, and the tomb bricks are huge and black, simple and unsophisticated, showing the simple and elegant architectural style of the Qin Dynasty everywhere.

In the later period, the tomb bricks have also developed many patterns, including patterned bricks, text bricks, picture bricks, dark turns, empty bricks, interlayer bricks, etc. In ordinary tombs, patterned bricks are the most common, and since entering this underground palace, all the way Come on, the tomb bricks we saw didn't have any patterns or written records. They looked simple and heavy, exuding a sense of solemnity.

Since I was carrying tofu on my back, I was the last one. Duan Fei walked in front of me. Gu Wenmin kept her head down. Neither of us wanted to wear our masks anymore, so she walked in the front.At this moment, Duan Fei in front of me suddenly hissed, and said in a low voice: "I remembered something, you said, there was a terracotta warrior at the entrance of the tomb passage, why did the terracotta warrior disappear?" ?”

Her question made me startled. Before, I was only suspicious of Wu Sidong, so I forgot this detail.

Yes, where did the terracotta warriors go?It is a dead object and cannot move, how could it suddenly disappear?
Could it be that Wu Sidong took it away?
What's the use of him bringing a terracotta warrior?

Duan Fei speculated: "Is there any special use for that terracotta warrior?"

I shook my head, thinking it was unlikely.This kind of terracotta warriors, imitated by Qin Shihuang's terracotta warriors and horses, are used to guard the mausoleum. In fact, they are made of clay. A dead object, what special function can it have?Just as I was thinking, Duan Fei suddenly let out an ah, stopped, turned around, looked a little scared, and said, "Tell me, could the terracotta warriors open our passage?"

When Professor Lin heard about it, he frowned and said, "Nonsense, how could the terracotta warriors move?"
