Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

Chapter 64: The fateful duel between the bronze bell and the fruit radar

If it were an hour ago, he would still be naive and guess the meaning of the tomb layout, two rivers, seven star tops, seven pillars and six bridges.

And now, huh, he didn't dare to ask at all, for fear that the mute would tell him that these two rivers represented Erdaobai River, and he would spit out blood.

Now all he had to do was wait for the mute to open the secret room. He looked left and right, but there was no place that looked like one could enter. It couldn't be possible to go underwater.

Logically speaking, with the new and old patriarchs taking over, is it reasonable for an old man who is about to die to dive in? He will surely die.

The mute moved his muscles and swung out a rope from his sleeve, which was hooked firmly on the top of the Seven Stars. Then he used one hand to gain leverage and took a few steps in the air, hanging himself upside down above the tomb like a bat.

It was covered with strange reliefs, some of which had hook-like shapes, such as an eagle's beak and a carp's tail. The mute operated the rope and passed it through several hooks, forming a strange pattern. Before I could understand what he was doing, the mute stretched out his hand and pressed it. The entire Seven-Star Roof seemed to be activated in an instant. Seven umbrella-shaped stone beams stretched upward like umbrella ribs, and a crack that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared on the edge of the roof.

Zhang Muchi stretched his body, took out the prepared silent headphones from his backpack and put them on his ears.

Just in case of interference from sounds that are difficult for human ears to detect, he even asked Da Huang to install the sound that can activate the source of his life, which lasts for 1 hour without interruption. It is the most terrifying BGM in the world, a tribute to the "Radar Ringtone of the Fruit Machine".

How many times have I been awakened by this sound in my sleep? The violent heartbeat, the rapidly surging blood, and the suffocating pain in my chest quickly brought me back to reality.

Zhang Musi even felt that for a moment his body and soul were separated.

Absolutely professional, certified by billions of people, with confidence that no one is immune!

A mere bronze bell, not worth mentioning.

Throwing a pair of headphones to the mute, the six bridges were right in front of him when he jumped. In order not to touch anything on them, Zhang Musi stepped back to run, using the blind man's shoulder as leverage, and made a double jump in the air, sliding into the gap smoothly.

The dark and narrow mezzanine was only about 1.23 meters high, and people could not stand in it at all. Looking at the entire space, the silk threads hanging with bronze bells were so dense that it was frightening. One layer was attached to another layer without any gaps. Zhang Musi even believed that even an infrared pen could not penetrate it.

This is killing the thread seller. You don’t want any money, right?

He wasn't sure whether the Zhang family wanted to strangle the intruder outright or let him go in and hallucinate.

I swallowed my saliva. No matter how effective the protective measures were, just looking at the scene made my head tingle.

Zhang Qiling secretly signaled that it was okay to pass. He himself had a certain resistance to the hallucinations caused by the bronze bell, so he led the way.

Zhang Musi followed behind him, and while crawling forward, he felt that this passage seemed to be endless. Even with the silent headphones on, the vibrations coming from the space affected him all the time. The slightly hallucinogenic vibrations, the clear radar, the blood in his body seemed like boiling magma.

By the time he stood at the exit, all his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his eyes were filled with a dark, exhausted state. He stood there for a long while to calm down before he could see the scene clearly.

The stone chamber is as big as the main tomb chamber, with volcanic rock walls, 6 stone pillars, a stone door on one wall, and shelves reaching the ceiling on the other walls, which are filled with all kinds of sundries, including some strange and incomprehensible objects, as well as treasures that are obviously priceless, but they are all piled together without any distinction.

At first glance, these things are the unrealizable objects or artifacts beyond comprehension that the Zhang family has collected over the past few thousand years.

In the middle of the stone chamber is a set of stone tables. The inconspicuous stone pillars look like the ones that grandpas use to play chess in the park. Upon closer inspection, you will find that they are actually stone drums. The earliest existing stone carvings can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty to the Warring States Period. The texts contained in them are Zhuanwen, which is a complex form of large seal script. However, the texts on them have long been damaged and incomplete, and the authenticity of the remaining rubbings is difficult to distinguish.

The characters on the two stone drums in front of us are not bronze inscriptions or large seal script or small seal script. Although similar fonts can be seen, the strokes are like tadpoles, making them more like treasures from the era of the Yuwang Stele.

It's just used as a stool. Just when Zhang Musi was about to let his butt enjoy the influence of history, Zhang Qiling had already opened the stone door and motioned Zhang Musi to go in.

Inside the door was just a simple stone chamber, which looked to be about 30 square meters. A bronze bell as big as a fist hung overhead. On the small shelves against the wall were boxes and ancient books made of various materials. It still looked empty, and was far from being as full as the ones outside. There were a few large objects on the floor of the stone chamber whose origins were unknown.

Directly below the bell are two cushions, which is where the new and old patriarchs take over.

"Then what? You won't let me read the book by myself!" Zhang Musi said, "I'm ready, Patrick, let's go catch jellyfish!"

Then, Zhang Musi watched the mute sitting silently opposite him.

No... "Don't tell me that I came all the way to this room just to listen to you tell me a story?"

Zhang Musi thought that his little heart could not stand this kind of stimulation. If this was true, today, only one person would be able to walk out of this room alive.

Looking at Zhang Qiling's face as if it was a matter of course, he was even confused. The new and old patriarchs are taking over. I, the old patriarch, and you, the new patriarch, isn't this possible?

I understand, the expression is very detailed.

Zhang Musi's face turned green, and then he saw the mute opposite him slightly raised his mouth, and a smirk of success appeared on his expressionless face.

Damn! This is really the mute's home turf!

Satisfied, Zhang Qiling stood up and pointed to the bell above his head. An incomprehensible emotion emerged from his indifferent expression. "After the door is closed, ring this bell, and everything you want to know is here, including the ultimate."

"Don't try that on me! Your words are only good enough to fool a bunch of idiots. Say something auspicious to me!"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qiling turned around and walked out of the stone chamber. The stone door closed automatically with a bang.

Judging from the mute's condition, there should be no danger. He let out a long breath, and the stone in his hand became warm. He flicked his fingers and the stone flew towards the bronze bell.

Along with the knocking, there is a tremor that strikes the soul directly, like the first sound heard in the chaos, containing endless grandeur and decadent vicissitudes.

"Mu~~~"

This sound was not even heard with the ears. It was as if it was poured directly into the mind. Chaotic information like a storm poured in in an instant. The endless feeling of vomiting in the hallucination made it impossible to react. The whole person entered into meditation and turned into a stone statue.

After waking up, Zhang Musi gasped rapidly, tilted his head, and unconsciously made a gesture as if to drain the water from his head to reduce the dizziness caused by loss of balance.

The whole paragraph doesn't contain much information and contains a lot of nonsense, but it is still somewhat useful.
