Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 192

If you don't believe in these things involving gods, gods and ghosts at the beginning, then there is no taboo at all.But from the very beginning, Xiao Ran had followed the routine of cocking the lamp and not touching gold, and when the candle suddenly went out, he couldn't help feeling flustered, and his memory involuntarily returned to the general's tomb under the Yeren ditch.

The record in his hand is not a bright weapon.Even if it was, he also managed to "take the two without one", and he has never touched any of the other burial pills in the sarcophagus.Now as long as the lid of the sarcophagus is closed quickly, everything will be fine.

He put down the record carefully, hurriedly raised the lid of the sarcophagus and put it on the coffin, then ran to the other side, lifted the lid from the ground, and slowly pushed it forward.

I don't know whether it was too dark or disturbed, but the coffin lid was pushed to the head, and it was a little tilted.He was afraid that the ugly child corpse in the coffin believed in the "ghost blowing the lamp" more than he did, so he hurriedly went to the head of the coffin and pushed the lid straight.

But when his eyes glanced over the coffin, his heart suddenly beat wildly, he choked on his chest and almost forgot how to breathe.

The protruding eyes of that strange child corpse opened slightly at this time, and the slightly cloudy eyeballs were staring at him through the eyelids.

Xiao Ran felt a chill in his heart, and before he had time to think too much, he hurriedly pushed the coffin lid up, almost pinching his fingers.

The lid of the coffin was closed with a "bang", and he stepped back quickly, drew out his knife and stared at the sarcophagus.In the entire secret room, apart from his panting, there was only the sound of his rapid heartbeat.

Although the corpse in the coffin was just a child, from his appearance, Xiao Ran instinctively felt that this child's corpse was definitely not a good person.

After a while, there was no abnormality in the coffin, and then Xiao Ran slowly relaxed, and even felt ridiculous about his overreaction just now.

He sheathed the knife, sat on the rosette again, and turned to the last few pages of the record.

After the human experiment, a pregnant woman with a swollen belly appeared in the picture, with the word "Jiafu" written next to it, referring to a woman who is pregnant with Liujia.The next picture shows live pills being fed to pregnant women.

Turning another page down, Xiao Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes.The pregnant woman's stomach was completely torn open, and a strange-looking child was lying beside her, with protruding eyes and sharp mouth, two ribs and raw limbs, and a pair of transparent semicircular wings growing behind her.

This half-human, half-worm monster is exactly like the thing in the sarcophagus.Next to the monster, it says "Peter lives forever as one God", and a big red circle is drawn.

As Xia Qiusheng said, this Tianling Sanren is indeed a lunatic.He used all kinds of living things to experiment with the kind of living pill that he didn't know where it came from, from animals to people, and finally to pregnant women, until he gave birth to a deformed fetus. He didn't think he had obtained satisfactory experimental results, and even thought it was human Symbiosis with the gods can achieve the effect of longevity.

Xiao Ran ruthlessly closed this fragile notebook, and instantly the corners shattered into a large number of fragments and flew around.He simply shook his hands and shredded the original records into shreds.

This kind of thing that is completely against the law of heaven and humanity should not exist at all.He thought that this Tianling Sanren was an experimental scientist before, he was really blind.

But what to do with the things in the sarcophagus?Xiao Ran thought for a while, since he was also an innocent victim, the best way was to burrow into the ground and save himself.But now he doesn't have the conditions to dig a pit and bury a corpse, and that experimental product is not like the quicksilver boys and girls in the Kwantung Army fortress. .

After thinking and thinking, the most suitable way is to find a way to leave this practice room first, and then use the shark oil that can be seen everywhere in the hall to burn it.

The hateful thing is that Tianling Loose Cultivator doesn't know where he is now, otherwise, even if he dissects the coffin and slaughters the corpse, smashes the bones and throws ashes, he has to experience the feeling of death without a place to bury him.

Xiao Ran looked at the quiet stone child's coffin again, there was no movement inside, maybe he was just too nervous just now, maybe it is a normal phenomenon for the corpse to shrink after seeing the air, even if it is soaked in liquid.

The most urgent task now is to find the switch to get out first.Xiao Ran carefully illuminated every corner of the secret room with the flashlight. Thinking of the detail of moving the table legs that Xu Er accidentally discovered before, he didn't even let go of the petals of the rosette.

After searching around carefully, he didn't find the same small activity place as before, Xiao Ran was a little discouraged.If Hu Bayi was there, maybe he would use his Feng Shui secrets to find the location of the mechanism.Now he himself has no other strengths except for hair growth and bone shrinking skills, and the bone shrinking skills can't let him get out of the cracks in the rocks.

Thinking of the cracks in the stones, he lit the flashlight around the wall again, and finally the flashlight stopped on the murals on the opposite side.

There are seven murals in total. On them, Empress Xia is doing different movements. It looks like Dunhuang Flying Apsaras, with a mysterious beauty, but those extra hands and feet always remind Xiao Ran of the child corpse in the sarcophagus and experimental records. , also has many limbs.

Seven paintings?He suddenly felt, could these paintings be like those in Xia Niang Temple, have any connection with numbers or direction mountains?
Tianling Sanren, a lunatic who would not hesitate to hurt the lives of others in order to seek longevity, is by no means a person who can sacrifice his life for a great cause.A person who is greedy for life must be afraid of death, and he will always leave a way out for himself at any time if he has been engaged in activities that damage yin and virtue for many years.

Xiao Ran pondered over and over in his mind. He had checked all the corners just now. If he had to find something different, it would be the murals on the wall. Compared with the simple decoration or even many undecorated corners in the secret room, they seemed too detailed up.

He jumped up from the rosette, carefully illuminated the mural with a flashlight, and studied every detail of Empress Xia.

The wind from the cracks in the stone wall blew again, and some dust hit his face, almost blinding his eyes.He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at the murals again, he suddenly noticed something strange.

There seems to be a deep gap between the faces of these murals of Empress Xia and the surrounding stone walls, even at the neck.For Xia Niangniang's followers, if such a carving method is just careless, it would be too rebellious and unjustifiable.

Xiao Ran carefully raised a finger, and lightly pressed Empress Xia's face.Sure enough, the face at that moment collapsed like a button, and there was a slight "click" sound behind the stone wall.

"Oh yeah!"

Xiao Ran jumped on the spot excitedly, and celebrated to himself with an exclamation that he didn't need to explain to others.As long as there are organs, all that remains is to find the rules.

He took a careful look at the remaining murals and blew on the ash on them. Sure enough, the faces on each mural could be moved.

But he immediately thought of another question. Just now, he hastily pressed a face. If the order is wrong, will it trigger some terrible mechanism?

It's fine if it's a steel thorn flying arrow, but if it's something like the poisonous gas and acid mist before, it means that he only has two chances to find out the correct pattern.

But there are more than 5000 possibilities for the sequence of the seven paintings. Isn't this fatal?

He was worrying, when he suddenly heard a "drizzling" sound behind him, like urinating.Turning his head to look over, he saw that liquid was dripping from the gap under the sarcophagus.
