Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 220 Mask
I breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and then thought of the mute, and hurried over to check my breath, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately: the person is still alive.After doing all this, I felt my muscles go weak, and my legs trembled.

After resting for a while, seeing that the skinless corpse Xu Fu did not move again, my thoughts gradually calmed down, and I began to recall the ins and outs of the whole thing.

There are many human bones in this place, and according to what Tofu said before, after he and the mute woke up, they were both located in this stone room full of human bones. There was a passage on both sides of the stone room, forming a sealed circular ring, and the three of them were in it. Spin around, unable to find a way out, until I meet this Xu Fu.

That Xu Fu's skinless corpse and human skin brought us captive here, he didn't kill us all at once, he seemed to be waiting for something, what was his intention, it's really hard to say.On the contrary, this place, although I haven't figured it out yet, just listen to the description of tofu, I feel weird.

Since we can come in, how can it be sealed?

There must be a trap in this place, and it may be connected to the groundwater. Unfortunately, I am not good at traps, and Tofu knows nothing about it. The only person who knows how to do it is probably the dumb one.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in my heart.

This mute is mysterious, acts strangely, wears a mask, as if unable to see people, who is he?What does it look like?At this moment, the mute is already in a coma, and it couldn't be easier to take off his mask. I didn't have any intention of respecting privacy, so I stretched out my hand and slowly took off the mask on the mute's face.

Tofu saw my movements on the side, and was obviously curious, so he followed me. As the mask was lifted, the true face of the mute was also exposed in our sight.

First of all, this boy looks very good, he belongs to the type that girls like, but this face made my mind buzz for a moment, because his appearance is exactly the same as the statement I saw in the photo!
Tofu also saw the picture of Chen Ci. He was stunned. He forced his body to get up and rubbed his eyes. He obviously couldn't believe it. Almost kissed.After a long while, Tofu straightened up and stammered, "Old, old Chen, this dumb... so it's your father!"

Shocked by his dumb appearance, I was so dazed that it was like a dream. Tofu's words brought me back to my senses. Then I slapped him on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I If Dad Chenci was alive, he would be in his 50s. Look at this man, he looks younger than us, he is almost my younger brother."

"Brother?" Doufu muttered to himself, "Could it be that this is your father's illegitimate child?" He looked back and forth between me and the mute, and finally concluded, "Like, you look so much alike." , but this dumb guy is more handsome than you, people are deadly compared to others, and things are thrown away when compared with others, Lao Chen, my condolences change, at least you are genuine, this one is illegitimate, don't worry."

I had already despaired of Tofu's IQ, and cursed: "Even if it is my own son, it is impossible to look like one carved out of a mold. Don't talk nonsense, what an illegitimate child."

Tofu was not happy anymore, and said: "The thing is obvious, this person is exactly the same as your father's statement, he is either your father or your brother, you are neither this nor that, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law. It’s the same.” When I heard this, I was so angry that my lungs were about to explode, and I took a few deep breaths to suppress the fire, shook my hands, and didn’t bother to argue with the tofu, seeing some wounds on the mute’s body were still bleeding, I threw the tofu Tore off his clothes and used them as gauze, barely treating the wound.

After everything was done, there was silence in the tomb, and Tofu was also seriously injured. Without saying a word, he tilted his head and fell asleep next to the mute. I knew that the two of them needed to rest. Although I was also very tired, this place There are many crises, and I dare not be careless. I can only cheer up and think about the situation in front of me.

If at the beginning, my mind was full of questions about Xu Fu and this place, then now, all these questions have been left behind by me, and the only thought in my mind is: who is this person?What is his relationship with the statement?Judging from his appearance, this person must have an unusual relationship with our Chen family. Even if there is any blood relationship, it is impossible for the two to look so similar.

First of all, Chen Ci has been dead for more than 20 years, and Zhao Erye saw it with his own eyes. Even if he is still alive, he is already an old man in his 50s and close to 60 years old. It is impossible for him to be so young.Secondly, it is the illegitimate child that Tofu mentioned. Even if Chen Ci really has an illegitimate child, it is impossible for the father and son to be so similar.

What is going on here?

It seems that we have to wait until the mute wakes up to ask clearly.

Thinking of this, I leaned against the wall to rest, while listening to the movement around me, while closing my eyes and recuperating, the whole person was drowsy and exhausted, but in order to guard the safety, I could only hold on to my energy, in order to save power , I turned off the flashlight, and there was a dead silence in the darkness, I could almost hear my own heartbeat.

In this quiet and dark environment, I felt more tired. In order to distract my attention, I began to think about some miscellaneous things in my mind, such as who Duan Fei belonged to, such as how to get out of this place, the appearance of the dumb, let me I have a big doubt about Chen Ci's death. Should I go to Zhao Erye to inquire about the location of King Juer's tomb and look for Chen Ci's body?Where is grandpa?
These thoughts came one after another, time passed quickly, and I don't know how long it took, I heard a rustling sound next to me, and I turned on the flashlight to see that the mute had woken up.He was obviously not awake yet, frowning, shaking his head.

Suddenly, the mute seemed to feel something, and touched his face with his hand, his expression froze instantly, his dark eyes looked at me coldly, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were cold as if he was about to kill someone.

I smiled, took out the mask in my pocket and threw it to him, saying, "We should have a good talk, tell me, who are you?"

The mute remained calm, took the mask, but didn't put it on his face again. After a while, he raised his chin slightly, curled the corner of his mouth indifferently, and said, "It has nothing to do with you." , making people very angry.This is the first time I have seen such an attitude and such an arrogant person.

"What do you mean has nothing to do with me? Let me guess, what is your relationship with Chen Ci? Father and son?"

The mute squinted his eyes and said, "Case? Who is he?"

I said: "Don't fucking pretend to be crazy with me, I don't have the skills, now...you are not my opponent." The mute looked down, only to find that I had captured his double knives, he raised his eyebrows, and said lightly : "Do you think I can't do anything with you without a knife?" He suddenly shot, as fast as lightning, and slammed towards my neck.

I had been prepared for a long time, how could I let him succeed, I immediately leaned back, ready to kick him, but at this moment, the mute changed and grabbed the tofu next to him.

not good!I exclaimed inwardly, it turned out that this dumb man was trying to make a fuss, his target was not me, but tofu!But it was too late to understand at this time, Tofu was still in a coma, and was suddenly grabbed by the mute, and suddenly woke up, not understanding what was going on, so he yawned and said, "Old Chen, don't make trouble, I want to sleep. "

After finishing speaking, Tofu came to his senses and found that I was opposite him. Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and found that the person holding him was not me, but the mute.Tofu immediately reacted and struggled to say: "Uncle Chen, please speak up if you have something to say, I am your son's good friend, let's not touch our hands, this is not good."

I was so angry that I almost vomited blood, what Uncle Chen, isn't this clearly taking advantage of me, where did I get such a young father?I really want to tear up the stinky mouth of tofu.

How can the strength of the tofu surpass the dumb, and I saw the dumb's five fingers tightened, and I didn't know how to catch the vein of the tofu. : What is the situation?
I squinted my eyes, and couldn't help sighing that the plan had failed. I knew that since the mute would save us, he would not kill me and Tofu again, so I immediately threw the two black waist knives over.The mute reached for the knife and immediately let go of the tofu.Tofu crawled and hid behind me, muttering, "Your father is really tempered."

I growled lowly: "Shut up, which eye of yours can see that he is my father? My father has been dead for more than 20 years, is he so young?"

Tofu looked up at the mute, looked back and forth, and murmured, "The makeup technology is so good now, a female star in her 60s, once she puts on her makeup and goes on stage, she will always be 28, maybe she is just putting on makeup."

The mute frowned when he heard the words, his expression was haughty, and he didn't hide it at all, as if he didn't bother to talk to us, he said coldly: "Chen Ci, what is he? Don't get married to me." After finishing speaking, he got up.He was so injured that he vomited blood before, and then forced himself to deal with me and Tofu. Now he stood up, staggered suddenly, his body was unstable, and he had to lean against the wall to stand.

I saw that this kid was at the end of his strength, so I couldn't help but sneered and said: "Huluo Pingyang was bullied by a dog. I will still be this vicious dog today. Don't play tricks on me. If you don't explain your identity clearly, you will stay here Go ahead, stay with your subordinates and stay here forever and ever." Of course I was trying to scare the mute, not to mention that I had to rely on his ability to find a way out, just his face that was exactly the same as the statement, I would also It's impossible to kill him at this time, but I have to scare him, otherwise this kid will be coquettish, and he will look like he is the first, the knife is the second, and the sky is the third, I can't stand it.
