Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 195 Pretending to be Dead
I was taken aback, but soon my heart was ignited by the anger of hatred, and I immediately pulled out the pistol at my waist, ready to shoot him first.In fact, I know that Wu Sidong is also a victim, after all, he was raped, but now, the death of Tofu, and a series of experiences later, made me feel angry. Standing across from us and smiling slyly, it really makes people feel angry.

The moment I pulled out the gun, Professor Lin jumped in fright, hugged my hand and said, "Don't do it, don't be impulsive." How can Professor Lin watch me kill his students? The hand was off, and the shot was empty.But at this time, Wu Sidong who was opposite suddenly turned around and ran to the right.

I thought he was waiting outside for some action, but who would have thought that this kid turned around and ran away.The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, I wanted to deal with him, so I immediately ran out of the tomb and chased him out.

After stepping out, I realized that there was a passage opening where the other terracotta warriors in the opposite corner were located. Wu Sidong's speed was very fast, and his figure entered the dark tomb passage in a flash.I usually walk very fast, but after going through such a toss and carrying tofu on my back, I can't catch up with Wu Sidong.

In a blink of an eye, Professor Lin and the others finally came back to their senses, and followed closely behind. At this moment, everyone didn't care about talking anymore, knowing that if Wu Sidong was allowed to go on like this, I'm afraid it would cause us a lot of trouble, no matter what. , catch people first.They reacted and ran faster than me. I carried tofu on my back and quickly fell behind.

The tomb passage where Wu Sidong is located is different from the previous one. Everyone chased tens of meters away, and a downward staircase appeared in front of us. To our surprise, this staircase was densely covered with people. A moss-like plant.Some plants are suitable for growing in dark places. I am not surprised by this, but there is no water in this tomb. How do these plants grow?
Professor Lin reacted quickly and said, "It seems that there must be water under here."

From the structure of the tomb, it is a big taboo to get water in the tomb. Of course, some people deliberately build waterways in the tomb because of Feng Shui.The famous alchemists of Xu Fu's generation must have different thoughts from ordinary people. I don't know what his intentions are for doing this.I saw that the stairs in front of me were relatively narrow, with a series of clear footprints left on them, which should be left by Wu Sidong.Judging from the span of the footprints, this kid is almost running in three steps and two steps. No matter how late it is, I'm afraid he will throw us away.

In order to guard against fraud, everyone led by Robot No. [-] and filed in.I was carrying tofu, my upper body was heavy, my lower body was light, and my feet were wet and slippery. I accidentally fell and pushed the person in front of me.

Because the stairs were slippery, the push had a butterfly effect. Everyone fell forward one by one, and rolled down the stairs with a very low slope. They fell dizzy and took a long time to reach the ground.

Thanks to the moss-like plants covering the stone steps, there was no bloodshed, but the body was still in severe pain, and for a while, my head was full of confusion.I endured the pain and was about to stand up, when someone behind me said, "Oh my god, it hurts me to death."

I said bluntly, "Hold it."

After I finished speaking, I was stunned. I couldn't help but turned my head and met a blue face.

Tofu?

He stared at me and said, "Of course you don't hurt, because you're pressing on me now, damn it, I'm your back." I couldn't help but close my eyes, shook my head, and said to myself Are there auditory hallucinations, not only auditory hallucinations, but also visual hallucinations.But when I opened my eyes again, Tofu still had his eyes open, baring his teeth, with a vivid expression.

I said: "Xiao, Xiaodou, you cheated on the corpse? What other wishes do you have? Oh... Do you want a daughter-in-law? When you return to China, I will burn ten or eight of them for you."

It seems that this is not my hallucination, because the others are also dumbfounded. Duan Fei pointed to the tofu on my back, her hands shaking non-stop.

I untied the tofu in a hurry, stared at him with eight pairs of eyes, and couldn't care about Wu Sidong for a while.

I saw that the blue color on Tofu's face had receded a lot. In our eyes, his expression became tense, and he said: "What kind of eyes are you, why do you look like a ghost?" Then he looked around again Due to the fall just now, most of our headlights went out, and the surrounding area was so dark that we couldn't see it clearly, but it should be a relatively large space.But right now I am not in the mood to study the surrounding environment anymore. I only have one question in my mind: Is tofu a human or a zongzi?

If it is a human being, how can the dead come back to life?If it was Zongzi, how could Zongzi speak?
Tofu questioned us, but none of us spoke. Obviously, this bizarre scene was somewhat unacceptable.At that time, Tofu's face had completely turned purple, his pulse had stopped, his whole body was stiff and cold, he was absolutely dead, and now it happened suddenly, no one could stand it.

I felt dazed at first, and then a little happy. Although I don't know what state Tofu is in now, it's better than being a dead person.I didn't make a sound, stretched out my hand calmly, and took the pulse of Tofu. All of a sudden, I felt the beating of the pulse, it was a living person!
The tofu was confused by my reaction. I shrank my hand, spit flying, and said, "What do you touch? Grandpa Dou touches it casually. If you touch it again, you will be paid." He slapped him on the head, and cursed: "Shut up, tell me, are you a human or a ghost? Fuck, why are you pretending you're not dead?"

At this moment, I felt the blood all over my body rushing to my forehead, anger and joy were intertwined, and I wished I could strangle the newly revived tofu to death again.

Restraining this impulse, I said to Professor Lin and others, "It's alive."

Professor Lin showed an expression of disbelief, and walked over slowly. It seemed that he wanted to check the tofu, but he was afraid that the tofu was a big zongzi with dead bodies, so he looked very strange.After a while, he still held Tofu's hand, began to sound his pulse, and then began to breathe again. After a while, Professor Lin said in surprise, "It's really a living person."

With Professor Lin's guarantee, the rest of the people immediately gathered around, pinching and touching the tofu like watching rare animals.Doufu was still in a daze and didn't know why. Just as he was about to get angry, Duan Fei touched his chest. Tofu stopped his anger and blushed and said to Duan Fei: "Sister, there are so many people, it's not good for you to be so many!" , we can come again in private."

My complicated mood suddenly calmed down. Although I didn't know what was going on, I knew that the person in front of me was a tofu, neither a zongzi, nor was he possessed by any ghost, because no one would be so unreliable except him Spectrum.When Duan Fei heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered, then pinched Tofu, and said, "You are so beautiful, who wants to be private with you."

After such an interruption, everyone stopped seeing Tofu as a monkey, and instead asked the reason around Tofu, but Tofu didn't know what to do, and only remembered that he was coerced by an invisible force, strangled his neck, and then fainted past.

He said: "The rest, I don't remember." Then he glanced at us with a strange expression, and said: "Just now you said that you died and came back to life. Could it be that I... died once?"

Don't look at his usual carelessness, in fact, he just doesn't like to care about, not really stupid, I don't intend to hide from him about the resurrection from the dead, after telling the story, Tofu was stunned and murmured: "Dead man!" And resurrection, hiss... I understand!" His expression changed, as if he remembered something important.

Everyone immediately focused their eyes on him, and saw Tofu's expression of disbelief, followed by ecstasy, and then another expression of inscrutable, sighing, "So, I am actually the reincarnation of Jesus."

When I heard it, I almost choked to death on my own saliva.According to legend, Jesus was crucified and executed, and then resurrected. Tofu's magical imagination seems to regard himself as the reincarnation of a certain god.I smiled wryly, and I didn't want to teach him a lesson anymore, life is more important than anything else, so I'll pretend I didn't hear what I said just now.

The death and resurrection of tofu is so bizarre that everyone couldn't explain why, but Gu Wenmin suddenly said: "Could it be pretending to be dead?"

I said, "Can a person pretend to be dead, so that his face turns blue?" After finishing speaking, I remembered the matter of parting ways with Gu Wenmin before, and I was somewhat embarrassed.Although Tofu miraculously came back to life, the grief at that time was unforgettable. I did not regret my decision at that time. Before the curse of Oni Shezhimian was resolved, I could no longer get close to her.

Gu Wenmin didn't meet my eyes, looked away, and said to Professor Lin: "I'm not talking about people pretending to be dead, but animals. Some snakes will pretend to be dead when they are in danger. Their bodies and muscles will become stiff. The signs disappear completely and can only be detected with sophisticated equipment."

When she said this, I immediately understood what she meant, and I wondered if the reason why tofu would 'die' was because it turned into an animal in times of crisis and activated the instinct of snakes to pretend to be dead?Can humans really be completely animalized?If this is the case, tofu will be a blessing in disguise this time.I was secretly glad in my heart, seeing that most of the bruises on Tofu's face had faded, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the tofu 'came alive', everyone's morale was boosted and their expressions relaxed. The atmosphere in the team was not as solemn as before. They turned on their headlights one after another and began to observe our current environment.
