Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Xiao Ran watched as his second uncle kept crashing into the elastic spiral black hole, and was swallowed up in the darkness without even making a sound.In the black hole illuminated by the flashlight, the walls of the cave are as translucent as the walls of internal organs and skin, and coral-like red branches can even be seen spreading and twisting underneath.

Xiao Ran's eyes widened. The first thing that made him think of these things was the esophagus of animals.The hole is like a big mouth, and their destination is the stomach filled with corrosive digestive juices.

Without allowing him to imagine, his head hit the elastic cave wall, and the flashlight was knocked off, and he rolled downwards first.

Although the cave wall is surprisingly soft, there shouldn't be any trauma.But Xiao Ran still instinctively curled up his body into a ball, for fear of accidentally breaking his arms, legs or neck.

At this time, everything on his body was thrown away, and there was no one who could take advantage of him.While falling downwards, he also tried to reach out and grab the wall of the cave to stop his fall, but there was a layer of wet, sticky and slippery stuff on the wall that made him slip.

Although rationality told him that this thing was probably some kind of fungus similar to moss, his senses deepened the feeling of "this is the esophagus".He felt the hairs on his back stand up, and he didn't know whether it was because of the rolling or the nausea in his heart, but waves of nausea kept rising from his chest.

In the spinning darkness, he didn't know how long he would continue to roll.But it seemed that a few times he experienced a brief vertical fall, and was caught midway by a network of hands as thin as a willow branch.After buffering, the hand suddenly released, and after he hit the soft cave wall, he continued to roll downward.

As he kept rolling like this, he became more and more dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, up, down, left, and right.As his consciousness blurred, he once again saw the same illusions as before. His figure appeared in different eras and different underground palaces, and he was surrounded by companions who looked familiar and yet strange.

Only this time, the vision he saw was clearer. He saw the expression on his face, which was an indescribable expression. It seemed to be enthusiasm, joy, and sometimes boredom and boredom.

In his expression, he saw a kind of indifference and playfulness that transcended life and death, as if he who appeared in different eras viewed everyone and everything in front of him as nothing more than a game.

As the illusion continued to switch, a self wearing Taoist robes and holding a box cannon suddenly looked into his eyes.They were both stunned for a moment, but in an instant, the other person showed an indifferent and sinister smile.

Not only this one, but the others all turned to him. Even though their clothes and hairstyles were different, they all showed the same ferocious smile.

Xiao Ran felt a sense of fear, as if he had become a sheep caught in a pack of wolves.He felt an electric tingling sensation on his back, which was the feeling caused by the pores shrinking to the extreme.

"Who are you...who are you?!"

Xiao Ran shouted in his heart, but the other selves in the illusion answered one after another: "I am you... and not you!"

These six words continued to come out from the mouths of many of them, like a life-threatening Sanskrit sound, and those faces like him kept approaching towards him.Xiao Ran felt as if his head was going to explode, so he couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his head.

At this moment, he felt that he suddenly landed on a soft ground. The impact and rebound caused the illusion in front of him to turn into powder, and all the sounds disappeared.

The fall finally stopped, but the softness made Xiao Ran worry that he and his second uncle had really fallen into the stomach of some giant monster.He struggled to get up and called his second uncle.

But he had not recovered from the weightlessness and dizziness after spinning that day. Not only was he unable to stand up, but even his shouts were not heard. In the end, he could only lie on the ground and vomited.

"...Old Xiao...Old Xiao!" Bei Jiuguo's shout came from the side.

Xiao Ran couldn't see anything, so he had to fumble around on the ground.He instinctively stretched his hand to the right, and sure enough he came across that familiar thing.

"Take me with you and I will help you smoothen the flow of Qi and blood!"

Xiao Ran put on the Bei Jiuguo pendant and reluctantly sat cross-legged to meditate.Bai Jiugao said: "Breathe two short and one long, clear your mind, imagine there is a light spot in front of you, look at it..." Xiao Ran breathed according to Bai Jiugao's request, and after a while, he felt peaceful in his heart, that light The dots gradually grow from small to large until they illuminate the entire sky.He was enveloped in this light, and a warm current suddenly rose from his heart, and his limbs went from feeling numb to warm and comfortable.

His whole body returned to normal consciousness and balance. He followed the sound and found several other artifacts, but no matter how he called his second uncle, he received no response.

Xiao Ran's scalp suddenly tightened and his whole body was relieved. His biggest worry at this time was that his second uncle broke his neck during the fall.

It was pitch black all around at this time. Compared with this place, the "star" light in the sky in the hall of Tongtian Taisu's abdomen was as bright as day.Xiao Ran felt a moment of fear and despair in his heart, but several artifacts seemed to be aware of his emotions, and they "reported work" to Xiao Ran according to their own duties.

"Good people, there are no evil spirits here!"

"There is no smell of blood, which is surprising..."

"Bayan, I didn't hear the voice of the soul. Your family...is not around here..."

Second uncle isn't around here?Xiao Ran suddenly remembered the big hands that kept catching him during the fall. Now that he thought about it, those things were probably coral-shaped bloody hands.

If they caught him on purpose, they probably also wanted to separate him from his second uncle. Perhaps his second uncle was thrown somewhere else.

Once you give yourself a positive psychological suggestion, your mood will become positive, and all your physiological functions will recover on their own.With the chattering sounds of those artifacts, Xiao Ran's fear of the darkness was reduced by most, and he began to carefully plan the next step.

Now we should pack up everything and find where the second uncle is.But now, even if he is equipped with all kinds of artifacts, it is difficult to move without light. Moreover, after such a long period of physical exertion, he is in urgent need of food, drink and supplies, and it is unknown where he dropped his backpack.

"Brother Ran, why didn't you come to me if you needed help?" Shenxing Wuyujian asked.

Xiao Ran scratched his head and said, "Brother, can you illuminate or find the way? There can't be any mechanisms in this place, right?"

A picture suddenly emerged in his mind. He was shooting arrows everywhere with divine arrows and identifying his own path by listening to the sound. He was no different from a bat.

"Bang..." Shenxing Wuyujian was quite disdainful, "There is indeed no mechanism, but those things you use can be twisted and poked to make a squeaking sound. This can be regarded as a use of the mechanism technique. I will spend some time on it. Strength can naturally be found..."

Xiao Ran's heart brightened after hearing this, and he quickly said: "Then I'll ask my brother, please help me find it..."

"Get up, turn to the right...turn again...stop! Walk forward, about ten steps, bend down and touch..."

Xiao Ran followed Shenxing Wuyujian's instructions and bent down to touch a cylindrical object. This felt too familiar, it was his wolf-eye flashlight.

He quickly tapped the flashlight, endured nausea and wiped away the unknown dust and wet sticky liquid on it, and then carefully turned on the light.

The flashlight flickered for a few times and finally slowly lit up.But the moment the light came on, countless beating light spots appeared in front of Xiao Ran's eyes.
