Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 88 Weird Space
Tofu heard the words and said: "It's true that the thief doesn't show his face, but that's for a villain like you. I'm absolutely relieved of Gu Damei." The surname Feng is obviously sowing discord. idea.This person is selfish, and he must be worried that after Gu Wenmin goes out, he will attract notices, or publicize this tomb robbery operation.

There is a rule in our industry that if you touch a weapon, you must not make it public, otherwise if the higher-ups find out, you will be caught easily.Even if Gu Wenmin didn't go to provoke the cops, if he told so and so how many people had dug the tomb in which place, things would be very bad.This industry is neither small nor big, and the news spread quickly.

Seeing that we didn't answer, Feng Guishou sneered and said, "The gun you took out just now should have been given by Miss Gu. How could an ordinary woman have a gun in her hand? How did she come here alone? From Dou Li? Don’t tell me it’s all about luck, there’s something wrong with this person, we can’t let her go.”

Gu Wenmin's complexion changed, and he took a step back slightly, and he happened to stand behind me whether it was intentional or not.

In fact, Tofu and I know in our hearts that there must be something wrong with Gu Wenmin. An ordinary person, a woman, wandered deep in the mountains and was taken away by wolves, tigers and leopards. She must have some means to get here alone.Furthermore, the gun in her hand was previously said to have been picked up.Let alone whether it was really picked up, ordinary people, especially women, probably don't even know how to use it when they pick up a gun.

Using a gun is not just a matter of pulling the trigger. What type of bullet is loaded, whether it is loaded or unloaded, and how to hold the gun can reduce the recoil. Women rarely pay attention to these.In contrast, Gu Wenmin used the gun very easily.

Before, when she saw the ghostly hand behind her in the mirror, she turned around and shot without being startled or panicked. This kind of reaction ability is not something ordinary people can have.

Tofu and I looked at each other with obvious helplessness on our faces.In fact, Gu Wenmin should also be aware that Tofu and I have already seen through her photographer's rhetoric, and with her wit, she should have seen the real purpose of Tofu and me, but it was only because of our previous friendship. , the three of us each took a step back and kept silent, including when Gu Wenmin rescued me and Tofu in the tomb passage before, she didn't ask about many suspicious points.

But now, Feng Guishou pierced this layer of window paper, and the atmosphere fell silent instantly.

Although I know that Gu Wenmin has a problem, after all, she has helped us more than once. Although I, Chen Xuan, are a bit ruthless, I am also a person who will repay her kindness, so I am determined not to tell the truth, and I am going to break up with Gu Wenmin. One is to repay her favor, and the other is to get along with her all the way. I believe in my heart that Gu Wenmin is not the kind of person who will play tricks behind her back.

At this time Feng Guishou said this, the four of us were on the narrow stone steps, and the atmosphere suddenly became stiff.Tofu smoothed things over and said, "I'm talking about Feng, why are you talking so much nonsense, this beautiful woman Gu is our friend, if we understand it, we understand it better than you. She will never make trouble, You put your heart back in your stomach, what's the matter, do you still want to be hard?" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

I'm not a timid person at all. Compared with Feng Guishou, Gu Wenmin and Feng Guishou have different points of importance, so I said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will guarantee you. If you want to make a move, I will accompany you."

Seeing the posture of Tofu and me, Gu Wenmin was probably a little surprised, her eyes were slightly red, and she stretched out her hand to grab my arm. I gave her a reassuring look, and the three of them stopped talking.

Feng Gui was so lucky that he sat down on the stone steps, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, the corner of his mouth twitched, with a strange look on his face, and he said, "It's okay if you want her to go, but you think she can still go?" Can you get out? Let alone her, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out by ourselves.” Tofu looked suspicious, and said, “What kind of charades are you playing? Can climb out."

I saw something wrong with Feng Guishou's expression, so I couldn't help but carefully looked at the surrounding environment.This is a narrow passage. The stone steps extend all the way down, sometimes turning and sometimes rising, making it difficult to figure out the specific direction.Due to the many bends, the front and rear views are limited in the deep stone steps.

On both sides of the stone steps, there are stone walls made of blue tomb bricks, sandwiching the stone steps that are only two meters wide in the middle, and we are in it, as if we have become meat stuffing.The stone wall is relatively high. Looking up at this moment, I estimated that it was at least six meters high.Doufu was a little puzzled, and said, "Why did you build the stone walls on both sides so high? Could it be that there are extra bricks in the tomb, so they used waste?"

I said: "How could there be any extra? Are your tomb bricks the same level as the adobe bricks we use to build houses? Those things are very precious." There are many kinds of tomb bricks, including square bricks, blue bricks, and black bricks Bricks, tiles, door tiles, etc. have different specifications, among which tiles are the most exquisite, and different tiles correspond to different identities of the tomb owners.

What we have in front of us are black bricks. Black bricks are the hardest tomb bricks. The recipe for making them has long been lost. According to legend, the hardness is comparable to that of gold and iron, so they are also called iron bricks. It is not easy to make, so how could it be possible? Have extra?But why build the tomb walls on both sides so high?Is there any special purpose?
Our top is also capped with black bricks, without any flowers on it.Narrow, dark, and closed, for a moment, I suddenly had a strange association, as if we had walked into a coffin.

Tofu didn't have as much as I thought. He said directly: "How can you not go out, just go back the same way, go, we will take you out." After turning, he backed out suddenly, turned his head and looked at us, as if he had seen a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, the tofu turned the corner again, and after a while, it retreated again.

This time, Tofu's face turned pale, and he raised his feet and ran towards me with a trembling voice, saying, "Old Chen, you, you hurry over and see, what's going on here?"

My heart skipped a beat, I patted his shoulder, and said, "No hurry, what's going on?"

Tofu slowly calmed down, but said: "There is no way to explain it, you can understand it at a glance." Feng Gui sat on the spot with his hands in his hands, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he knew it in his heart.I knew it was unusual, so I walked towards the back road, and Gu Wenmin followed. After we turned a corner, we were stunned for an instant, because Feng Guishou and Tofu were sitting behind the corner.

A jade beauty was burning on the ground, Feng Gui sat cross-legged with his hands, and Tofu looked at me anxiously.

How could this be?Aren't they behind me?Gu Wenmin and I looked at each other, and the two of them backed away at the same time, and then turned around to see that Tofu and Feng Guishou were behind us again.In an instant, I understood the strange behavior of tofu back and forth just now.

Turning this corner, the way we came from has disappeared, and what has been replaced seems like a mirror.Everything in front of me was beyond my expectation. I finally understood why Feng Guishou was sitting where he was, and immediately brought Gu Wenmin back and asked, "What's going on?"

Feng Guishou sat leisurely and said, "This is an upside-down world."

"An upside-down world?" Tofu asked, "What charades are you playing?"

Feng Guishou pointed to the front again, and said: "Go a little further, then look up, and you'll know what I'm talking about." Doufu took the lead, ran forward immediately, and turned a corner Then, I heard him utter a strange cry: "Pervert Chen, come here quickly, there is a coffin!"

coffin?Hearing this, even Gu Wenmin was startled, we both ran forward without saying a word, turned a corner, and saw Tofu looking up with his neck up.Isn't the coffin over our heads?I looked up and was stunned because the coffin was really on top of us.

Above our heads, in a camouflage about seven or eight meters high, hangs a coffin upside down. The top of the coffin is facing down, and the bottom of the coffin should be fixed on it by something.There is not only one coffin, but a total of three. It is not the full material we commonly use now, but Chinese material.

Han material is characterized by squareness, while Man material, that is, the coffins used after the Qing Dynasty came to power, has a more rounded shape with an arch on the top, including modern society, where burials are still made of Man material.
