Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 728 Mask
The coffin lid is relatively thick, and there was a dull creaking sound when it was pushed. Under the joint efforts of the Cyclops and I, a seam was slowly opened. It was dark inside. I don’t know what there is, but it’s not like opening the coffin before. It smells weird.

I was afraid that I might see corpses or something inside, but to my surprise, halfway through the drive, the place I saw was empty.

Is the coffin empty?
I froze for a moment, increased my strength, and heard a bang, Coffin Gail fell to the side. At the same time, the entire coffin was exposed. At this time, an extremely delicate thing appeared in the coffin.

mask.

Very thin jade mask.

In the middle part, there is a brownish-yellow color, which seems to be some kind of color, and a word immediately flashed in my mind, the face of ghosts!
I have seen this thing in the murals of Guishen before. It was originally a treasure of the ghosts and shamans. After the ghosts moved to the Central Plains, I don't know why the mask ended up in the hands of Concubine Wan Yao.I had guessed before whether this Wan Yaofei might be a descendant of Guishen.

Cyclops was surprised and said: "It's a mask." Although Cyclops had heard of some of the reasons for this, he didn't know the details, so he didn't recognize it.My heart was full of surprises, how could this thing be here?

At the beginning, the fourth flying knife Bai Lao and Yang Fang came here to rob the tomb, Yang Fang put on the mask of the ghost, and suddenly became mad, Bai Laosi relied on the miraculous flying knife to kill Yang Fang, and then fell into the ghost The curse behind him was passed on to my grandfather.

It stands to reason that this mask should be in the hands of my grandfather, but for some reason, this thing never showed up. I thought it was taken away by Chen Ci. Why is it lying in this coffin now?Of course, it can't be the tofu put in it.

Could it be the corpse fairy?
I just felt confused, staring at this delicate and somewhat weird mask, and didn't move for a while.At this moment, Cyclops suddenly reminded: "Master, there seems to be something under this mask." When he reminded me like this, I immediately found that there seemed to be something under the mask.But for this thing, I am very taboo, so I put on the gloves for touching corpses and removed the mask.

The mask looks thin, but it actually has some weight.

After removing it, there was a piece of paper under the gap.

The paper is ordinary paper, probably torn from a notebook.

A few words were written on it with a black oil-based pen: To untie the bell, one must tie it.

These words are beautifully written, and I recognized them at a glance. They are notes of tofu.Since ancient times, calligraphy and painting have not been separated from each other, and those who learn to paint and paint are not far behind.

I took this piece of paper in my hand and read it both front and back. Except for these seven characters, there was no other writing.

What is tofu doing with these words?
Where did others go?

The trouble should end it……

I don't know where the Corpse Immortal got this mask, but it should have something to do with recent events. Could it be that the so-called untie the bell needs to be tied by the person who wants to return this mask to Concubine Wan Yao?But Wan Yaofei was turned into ashes.

I think it must be more than as simple as I thought. The boy Tofu didn't know how to write clearly. He is not a person who plays tricks. This time he wrote so vaguely. What's the matter?To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it... At the beginning, the curse of the face of the ghost was originally aimed at the fourth brother Bai, the flying knife. Could it be that the person who tied the bell refers to the fourth brother Bai?

Tofu invited me here, probably because he wanted to give me this mask, but because I didn't come to the appointment on time, that's why he left such a note.

But now, who knows where Bai Laosi is?
I suddenly thought of Mr. Bai of BJ. The old man disappeared suddenly. Could it be related to this incident?
I subconsciously picked up the mask, and several thoughts flashed through my mind.

First of all, the purpose of the tofu can be confirmed. When he stopped the corpse fairy, he must have asked the corpse fairy about the curse.Obviously, the corpse fairy agreed to help him, otherwise the two would not have left so simply, and they would not have come to this tomb of ten thousand demons.

Second is the mask itself.

Its final whereabouts should have been in the hands of Chen Ci, but the mute did not mention this matter, that is to say, the mask changed hands afterwards.

So, who will go back and fight for this mask?

This mask should have been obtained by the corpse fairy, I don't know where it was obtained.

If the curse can only be solved by finding Bai Laosi, why doesn't the corpse fairy help others to the end and send the Buddha to the west?Since Tofu knows how to lift the curse, why doesn't he show up?Did he leave with the corpse fairy?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and I couldn't help looking carefully at the mask in my hand. At this moment, I felt that the mask in front of me, this face, seemed to come alive, especially its eyes, like two whirlpools. , It made me feel dizzy and unconscious for a moment.

When I realized it, I heard an exclamation, it was from the one-eyed dragon.This exclamation pulled my consciousness back, and I realized that for some reason, I almost put the mask on my face.

At this moment, the distance between the mask and my face is only five centimeters, and the eyes of the mask are empty. Through these two small holes, you can see the horrified face of the one-eyed dragon opposite. At the same time, he shouted: "The head of the house ,what are you doing!"

I shivered suddenly, thinking back then, didn't Yang Fang involuntarily wear it on his face?Then he was killed by Bai Laosi. Finally, after Bai Laosi got the mask, he couldn't help but put it on his face, and the curse was born.

According to legend, this mask can pull people into nightmares.

This nightmare probably refers to the curse.

And now, I am also confused by it.

I was afraid, and just about to move my hand away, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind...

Anyway, I have already been cursed, so what will happen if I wear a mask?

The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell may have another meaning?
Anyway, I've already been cursed, so it doesn't matter if I wear it again, right?Tofu would not be ignorant of the strange appeal of this mask, but he was still placed in the coffin, could that be the meaning?As soon as this idea popped up, I couldn't help it. I signaled Cyclops not to panic, then took a deep breath, and slowly put the mask on my face.

In an instant, his face was cold, and the mask was actually a little too big. I was thinking, that Concubine Wan Yao must not have a big face, otherwise the emperor wouldn't be fascinated by her all of a sudden.After the mask was put on my face, I didn't have any strange feeling at first, but soon, I felt dizzy, and what I saw in front of me became blurred, and my limbs gradually became weak. At the same time, an unidentifiable man and woman The voice rang in the back of my mind.

It seems to be right next to my ear, and it seems to be far away. The voice is very ethereal, and it is speaking a language that I can't understand, but I can be sure that it should be a kind of shaman's divine language.

Damn, if only the red hair was here.I have no idea what this is talking about right now.

The voice didn't stop, it became louder and louder in my mind, sometimes it was very clear, and sometimes it seemed to be silent, making me wonder if it was my own auditory hallucination. In the end, I felt that I was framed by someone , it should be Cyclops and Bai Shuang, whose whole body is as soft as water, and they were carried on the ground by the two.

During the whole process, my consciousness was chaotic. In a daze, I only felt that the mask on my face was taken out. Then, I heard the voice of two people talking. I knew it was Cyclops and Bai Shuang, but at this moment, they The voice seems to come from the other side of the world, and my memory has also become a second memory.They say a sentence, I listen to a sentence, and I listen to a sentence, and then forget a sentence, so in the end I don't know what they said at all.

When the whole person was a little awake, I found that I was in the hospital.

It was a hospital in Lishuishi, and Cyclops stood by. He told me that I had passed out for four days, and I had been receiving nutritional injections for the past four days.But Bai Shuang returned to Shenzhen the day before yesterday because she had urgent matters to deal with.

"Master, do you feel anything?"

I said, "I had a dream."

"Dream what?"

I thought about it carefully, but found that during the period when I was unconscious, I had a very important dream, and in the dream, I was conscious, constantly reminding me, I must not forget it when I woke up.

Unfortunately, I still forgot and can't remember anything.

Damn, what the hell?
