Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 205
At this moment, everyone sat in a circle, unable to think of an idea for a while.According to the three Fusang people, the nine keys should be hidden in those coffins, but as soon as the first key was taken out, they encountered such a difficult flying stiffness. Have these things?
Just as he was thinking, Wu Sidong suddenly woke up, his expression was in a trance, like a scholar in a TV drama whose energy was sucked by a female ghost, and he said, "Where is this?" It seemed that his sanity had recovered.

Professor Lin and Duan Fei immediately went to get him some food. I didn't have time to talk to him, so I turned my attention to the mute.I can be sure that he is a native of Huaguo, because according to my observation, his tomb robbery technique combines the essence of the two schools of North and South, and it is difficult to achieve without a long period of immersion. It is definitely not something that a Fusang person can learn in the later stage.

But I don't understand, how could he, a native of Huaguo, get mixed up in the crowd of Fusang people, and bring a group of Fusang people to fight against his own country?
Tofu heard that the key was in the mute's hand, so he leaned over and asked the mute to show us the things.The mute didn't refuse, he took out something from his pocket and slumped it in the palm of his hand.Taking a closer look, it was an extremely delicate key, as small as a toothpick, blue in color and full of mercury.An old man like me is really not suitable for playing with such delicate things, and I don’t know how the ancients more than 2000 years ago made them. The ingenious skills are really ingenious.

Gu Wenmin glanced at it, and said: "It seems that you have to collect nine keys to open the door of the tomb. This is too difficult. What if there is still a flying stiffness? Can you think of other ways?"

Sure enough, the beauty spoke differently, and the mute replied, with a low and cold voice, and said calmly: "The back of the stone gate is filled with dragon oil, if an external force invades, all the things in the tomb will be burned, and it won't work."

Tofu asked instead: "Then what should we do? Brother, you look awesome, hurry up and think of an idea."

The mute glanced at Tofu and said, "Say one more thing."

Tofu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What do you say again?"

The mute said: "I am not your brother, you are not qualified. If you dare to use this word... I will kill you."

When Tofu choked, according to his usual personality, he must be about to jump, but the aura of this dumb man was probably too strong, and Tofu couldn't speak for a while, so he hid behind me for a while, and choked out a sentence: "Old Chen, he underestimate me."

I was amused looking at the deflated appearance of the tofu, but at the same time I was a little annoyed, thinking that this person is too airy, what the hell is he.Although everyone is sitting in a circle at this moment, it does not mean that the flag has died down.Colleagues are enemies, and the two groups of us are just temporarily truce, but it does not mean that we will coexist peacefully.

At this moment, Gu Wenmin suddenly raised a doubt. She looked at the back of the tomb, the passage we came from, and said, "Listen, the sound outside seems to be getting louder and louder."

It was a howling sound, sometimes like a scream, sometimes like a shriek, in this gloomy tomb, the listener trembled all over.Gu Wenmin asked Professor Lin: "Do you know what that is?"

Professor Lin shook his head, pushed his glasses and said, "In most of my life, I have never seen such a tomb passage, which can grow hands, feet, eyes and mouth. If my teacher is still alive, maybe he will know."

As soon as Professor Lin finished speaking, the mute suddenly stopped wiping the knife, raised his head, and said coldly, "It's the 'Wall of Corpses'."

"Corpse wall?" Tofu forgot the pain when he was healed, and immediately showed an interested look, and leaned over and said, "Brother, what is a corpse wall? A wall made of corpses?" The mute turned his head and looked at Tofu, pitch black His eyes looked very cold.

I suddenly remembered what he said just now, and I was startled. I grabbed the tofu and said, "Come back!"

Fortunately, I pulled it quickly, because where the tofu was originally standing, there was already a black knife inserted straight into the floor tiles, trembling slightly, reflecting the dim light.

Tofu opened his mouth, unable to utter a word in shock.A layer of cold sweat suddenly formed on my forehead, thinking that I, Chen Xuan, have lived half my life, and I have never met any kind of person, I have dealt with both black and white, and I have never seen such a weird person.If I hadn't reacted quickly just now, the tofu might have been chopped off by that black waist knife.

I was furious for a moment, and I pulled out the pistol fiercely. Since the distance was relatively close, I aimed at the dumb forehead in an instant, and sneered: "You are so fucking awesome, let me die!" If it is not necessary, I will I won't kill anyone, after all, I'm a back-fighter, but the dumb man's actions just now really irritated me, and immediately turned red-eyed, and directly pulled the trigger.

"Crack——" An abrupt sound replaced the gunshot, and the gun jammed.

At this moment, not only me, but almost everyone looked at the mute in shock.

why?When the four robots were about to kill them before, the guns suddenly jammed, but now, it jammed again?
There was a buzz in my mind, and a thought popped up: Does this mute have special abilities?Is he playing tricks?
Before I could react, the mute had already pulled out the black scimitar on the ground, staring at us coldly, with his fingers pierced in the handle of the scimitar, and the scimitar began to circle with his dancing, and finally became faster and faster , before we had time to react, it flew out with a whoosh and slammed into my pistol.

I just felt numb, and the gun dropped out of my hand and fell to the ground.

The four robots began to retreat, and no one in the group spoke, but the distance had already been drawn, and the atmosphere was tense and dignified.

In fact, in terms of firepower and numbers, we have the upper hand, but the reason why we are so passive now is entirely due to our gun problem.Why do the bullets jam when they fire at the opponent?Is there something wrong with our guns and we can't use them, or is there really some force at work?
For example, does the other party have special abilities?

As I was thinking about it, I felt that the supernatural powers were a bit of a nonsense, and almost everyone's eyes were on the mute.I am not the only one who is nervous, including the four robots.It was obviously the first time for them to experience such a situation. There was a layer of white sweat on their foreheads, their pupils were constricted, and they confronted each other with full vigilance.

At this moment, the mute shook his head and said coldly, "The wall of corpses has been revived."

Tofu was really scared this time, subconsciously wanted to answer, but then remembered something, and then covered his mouth violently.

The resurrection of the corpse wall?What's the meaning?
What is this masked man doing?

He seems to know more than I imagined?

Just as he was thinking, he heard the mute talk about the origin of the corpse wall.It turned out that this was an extremely cruel alchemy.

In ancient times, some alchemists who took evil ways were good at raising corpse demons.What is a corpse demon?The woman who died tragically had a very strong aura, and the alchemist used some secret techniques to refine it. After a certain period of time, it will become a corpse demon.

The corpse demon has no specific form, just like a pile of sticky black syrup, it can easily enter people's homes to cause mischief, for example, if the corpse demon sticks to the wall, a human face, or human eyes, or human eyes will suddenly appear on the wall. Mouth, there are many things, causing trouble and harming others.The alchemist used this to subdue the corpse demon and defraud money.

The mute deduced that the tomb bricks used in the corpse wall were probably mixed with corpse demons. Those protruding hands, feet, eyes and mouths were all corpse demons formed by people who died in vain. People who walked inside would be eaten alive .

The corpse wall mixed with corpse demons is extremely dark, once the corpse demons inside wake up, it will be a scene of demons dancing wildly, ghosts crying and wolves howling, just listening to the sound at this moment is already more terrifying than before, even if we want to leave It didn't work either.

The mute said that even he was not sure about going through the tomb passage of the corpse wall. The only way now is to enter the underground palace and find another way out.

I calmed down slightly, feeling something was wrong, why did he tell us this?
After hearing the history of the wall of corpses, Tofu couldn't help it anymore, and boldly said: "But now I can't get the key, and I can't use explosives, what should I do?"

The mute put his arms around his chest, walked slowly, sneered, and said calmly, "You don't have a brain, don't you think?"

Tofu was hit by the dumb repeatedly, and finally got angry, limped and rushed over, and shouted: "I can't take it anymore, Grandpa Dou will have to strangle you to death today, you Fusang man..." Before I could stop it, I saw the dumb holding a knife in his hand Turning around, the always indifferent voice carried a trace of ridicule and contempt: "You have the kind, come on."

Dazzled by the black double knives, Tofu came to his senses, showing a little timidity, but under the gaze of so many people, he probably felt that it would be embarrassing to be cowardly again, especially in front of Fusang people. , so he gritted his teeth, limped and rushed over with a dagger, the speed was about the same as that of an ant.

I covered my face, unable to bear to look closely.

The reason why I didn't stop Tofu is because I know that this dumb man has no murderous intentions now, and if he did, he wouldn't tell us about the corpse wall.This dumb man is supercilious, he doesn't take anyone seriously, he will chat with us for so long, he must have something to care about, and he will never attack Tofu at this juncture.

Sure enough, I heard Tofu's cry, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that he was being grabbed by the collar by the mute and thrown aside, and fell onto a pile of open objects.
