Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 396

Why does this industry created by hundreds of thousands of graves have such a power to confuse people's hearts?The ancients did not give an explanation, but some people have actually studied it in modern times. It is said that it is because of the environment produced by thousands of graves for a hundred years, and a large number of human corpses, that the soil quality of that place has changed, forming a substance that can confuse people. After being refined through the ancient capable man's secret technique, this function was magnified, so the industry domain was formed.

It is said that the person who invented this thing was an onmyoji in the Han Dynasty. His name is unknown and his name is Shouyang. In fact, he was a very powerful tomb robber at that time. He dug graves all his life and hid countless treasures. He would also be patronized by his peers, so he combined what he had seen and heard to create a business domain, wrapping ten meters around his grave.

I also blame this person for his unlucky luck, he originally intended to use this as a mechanism to prevent tomb robbers, but who knew that shortly after his death, he just met a tyrant.This Hengzhu is a general of soldiers and horses. Seeing a beautiful mountain, he wanted to go for an outing, but was stopped by his subordinates.

His subordinates said to him, "Boss, that place is evil. No one who went in came out alive. I heard that there is a powerful man buried in that place. Ordinary people can't get close to his territory. If you go there, you can't get out. Then There is a karma in the place, and the fire of enlightenment is burning.

The general got angry when he heard that, who is so powerful?Oh, Shouyang?A grave robber's tomb?Hey, this man is quite courageous, is this general an ordinary person?What kind of thing is he, I want to see how powerful that industry is.Immediately afterwards, the boss directly sent an army to dig the grave.

No matter how powerful the karmic fire is, it can't hold back the crowds and crowds, not to mention the hustle and bustle within a radius of ten meters, and a radius of [-] meters. How can it confuse people's hearts? Pulling it out and throwing it directly down the mountain, scattered among the weeds, is also considered retribution.

At that time, we speculated and found a lot of clues, which made the mute think of Ye Yu.In modern terms, what is produced in the karmic domain is actually a kind of illusion, and when one thought moves, all phenomena emerge.The mute then directly made me dizzy and cut off my thoughts.

When I heard what the mute said, I felt something was wrong, I was dizzy, and I had no reason to speak, so what should the mute do?You know, the human mind is not controlled by reason.Even if you keep hinting that you don't want to think about anything, in fact, this hint is a kind of thinking.That being the case, how did the mute bring me out of the coma?

When I thought about it, I asked directly.

Seeing that I doubted him, the mute just gave me a cold look, and said calmly: "Can you compare with me? If you can't, it doesn't mean I can't." I was choked by these words for a moment, and my heart It is said that this mute usually does not speak, but when he speaks, his mouth is as poisonous as a snake, and ordinary people really can't stand it.So I changed the subject, and after a second thought, my heart sank: I am out of danger now, what should I do with the tofu?According to Ye Yu, there shouldn't be any real danger in that ice cave, but people will be trapped to death in it.

Tofu is separated from us by himself. With his IQ, he probably can't think of any industry. Even if he thinks of it, it is impossible for him to be as perverted as a dumb man.

So I said to the mute, "You save my brother."

The mute said coldly: "The reason."

reason?Does such a matter of human life need a reason?My heart was filled with anger, but reason told me that I couldn't fall out with the mute at this time, so I suppressed my anger and said, "It's your partner anyway, shouldn't you take care of the safety of your teammates?"

"You and him... are not my teammates."

I knew he was talking about me and Doufu sneaking into the team without permission, and I felt a little heavy in my heart, what if the mute really ignored it?
I stared into the mute's dark eyes, and asked word by word: "If that's the case, then why are you saving me?" Without waiting for the mute to answer, I continued: "...Because I am your relative? Wu Shui ,who are you?"

The mute's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said coldly, "Jizi told you." He used declarative sentences.

I said lightly: "Yes, but she is dead. Are you still planning to settle accounts with the dead?"

I noticed a twitch at the corners of the mute's cold eyes. This change was very subtle. If I hadn't been observing him all the time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to notice.It seems that the mute is not indifferent to Jizi.I brought out Jizi, aggressive, although a little shameless, but at the moment there is no other way.

Unexpectedly, just when I thought the mute would retreat a little because of these words, he suddenly smiled, maybe because he seldom smiles, this strange smile seems a bit weird to me.It was an indescribable feeling, it seemed unfathomable, and it seemed that something was about to escape from this smile.Immediately afterwards, I heard the mute's indifferent and sarcastic tone: "When I find his body, you will know how stupid you said."

My heart skipped a beat, and I felt guilty for the mute's certainty. I've never been someone who would easily doubt my own judgment, but at this moment, I had to doubt.At this moment, the mute adjusted the light of the searchlight, dimmed the light, and entered the power-saving state. Immediately afterwards, he said, "I want to go in again. It depends on his luck if we can bring him out."

I don't know what to say anymore, the dumb behavior is always unexpected.First he sneered at me, and now he suddenly said he was going to save Tofu?What is he thinking?Of course, I didn't ask, and he wouldn't answer me if I asked. I already know this very well.The mute's mouth is tight, and you can't pry a word out of what he doesn't want to say.

Immediately afterwards, the mute re-entered the industry.I don't know how he dealt with Ye Yu, but one thing is for sure, with the mute, Tofu has a great chance of being saved.At this moment, there is nothing beside me except a lighter for lighting. While waiting, I started to walk around, trying to get rid of the cold while trying to find out the surrounding environment as much as possible.

Four or five meters away, there is a large piece of unfreezing water, with a depth of about one meter, which is relatively deep compared to the previous unfreezing water of less than [-] centimeters.The water quality here is crystal clear, and there is no picture of the face. I walked around the shore to the end, only to find that the whole space was divided into two halves by this piece of unfreezing water, without any passage. Next, if we continue If you want to move forward, you have to wade through the water, which makes you feel cold even thinking about it.

After waiting for about ten minutes, there was finally a movement from the ice pick passage. I saw the mute come out first, with a rope in his hand. It seemed that there was something tied to the rope. I hurried towards the mute and took a closer look. , couldn't help being dumbfounded, the language system of the brain was completely paralyzed.

I saw that there were four people bound by the rope.The first one was Tofu, probably also knocked out by the mute. At this moment, the rope was tied around his waist, and he was taken off by the mute to move forward on the ice.The three in the back looked like dead people, their bodies were as stiff as ice, and their skin was bluish-purple cloud spots. They were all unfamiliar faces, but I judged from their clothes that they should be the old man Zhao's group.

Immediately afterwards, the mute threw the rope away, clapped his hands, pulled out his waist knife, ignored the tofu, and began to strike at the clothes of the first corpse with the waist knife.Those clothes were frozen into thin pieces, and if they wanted to be opened or searched, they had to be separated with a knife.

Only then did I understand that the reason why the mute was willing to enter the industry again was that saving the tofu was just a matter of chance, and finding the dead body was the real thing.

From the looks of it, these three people were also trapped and died in the karma, and I didn't know any of the three. It seems that old man Zhao was hard-fated and didn't die in the karma.I thought the mute wanted to see if the three of them had a map on them, so I didn't ask any more questions, and instead woke up the person who was pinching the tofu.

When Tofu woke up and saw me, he was so excited to give him a hug, I pushed his face, and said: "When will you save me from worrying, I will disappear in a blink of an eye, don't take such troubles. Hearing this, Tofu presumably recalled his previous experience, and immediately showed an expression of eating a fly, and said, "Don't mention it, I'm behind, walking, and in a blink of an eye, the three of you disappeared. I How did you know it was fake? I untied the rope and went looking for someone as soon as I was in a hurry... Later, I was inside alone, scared to death, thinking that a heavenly soldier should not appear, or I would die. In the end you Guess what... just as soon as this idea came up, the heavenly soldiers came. It was chasing after me, and I ran in front, chasing, running, chasing, running... If I hadn't met Wu, I would have I was exhausted to death..."

Tofu babbled a long list, reluctantly explained the follow-up, I was about to speak, the mute had already retracted his waist knife, clicked his tongue, seemed dissatisfied, kicked one of the corpses, it seemed that he didn't find what he wanted s things.I also want to know that something so important as a map must be kept by Old Man Zhao or Bai Zhanji. If you really want to find a map, you have to find Old Man Zhao and his corpses.

Seeing Tofu, he said: "When a person dies, nothing happens. The dead are the greatest. You can't abuse the corpse if you are dumb."

The mute glanced at him and said coldly, "I can turn you into a corpse right now."

This time the mute went in and brought back four people, three of them were corpses, except for Lu Su, which was really strange. Tofu speculated that Lu Su was very naughty, since he was not in the industry, he must be alone People have slipped away.

While talking, he slapped his thigh, showing a look of sudden realization, and said: "I understand, Lu Su left the business domain by himself, but he didn't care about us. He must want to take it all by himself. Not good... the map is probably already in his hands gone."

The situation that Tofu mentioned, now it seems that it is the most reliable one, but it is a pity that even if it is too late to know.Lu Su probably succeeded long ago.If he also knows the way to enter and exit the business domain, then what exactly did Lu Su do during the three days when the mute was trapped and Tofu and I recuperated in the water?
