The whole empire is watching my live broadcast of Tomb Raiding [Interstellar]

Although the four people said that something was following them, they didn't see how nervous they were. Duledin's first reaction was a small reptile moving in the sand.

Charlie asked curiously, "What is it?"

The tall, thin man said eagerly, "If you can see it clearly, it won't be called a strange thing."

As he spoke, he turned on the camera, swipe the screen, found the photo taken an hour ago, and handed it to Du Leding and the others.The photo shows a barren area outside the warning area, and the moment when the wind blows the sand and the yellow sand is rolled up is captured.

Behind the shallow sand curtain, a black shadow can be vaguely seen, the outline is blurred, and it is impossible to see what it is.

After careful identification, Du Leding suddenly remembered that there are indeed some creatures in the desert, but almost all of them only appear at night, and judging from this altitude, they are definitely not reptiles.

This photo gave people a weird feeling, and he couldn't make a reasonable explanation for a while.

"Did you see anything besides the photos?" Du Leding returned the camera.

The thin and tall man said: "I saw it in the lens at the moment I took the photo and pressed the shutter. After I put down the camera, the sand curtain also fell, but there was nothing there."

The baby face next to him added: "At that time we didn't take it seriously, and continued to move forward. After a while, when I turned my head and looked back, I saw that there seemed to be a figure following us from a distance."

In the desert, you can't see things clearly at a little distance, and the refracted light in the distorted air will deceive people's eyes and cause some illusions.

But Du Le Ding remembered the shadow he saw in the rearview mirror before. Could it be that he was wrong like these people?

The round-faced girl seemed to be very good at observing words and expressions, and seeing Duleding's vacillation, she hurriedly said, "We heard a lot of legends about this desert in the last few towns."

It's the same as she talks about cross talk with her boyfriend, you start talking about each other.It is said that in this desert, there are Celert wandering, they guard the ancient temple, and search for the lost souls at the same time.

Duledin: "What is Selet?"

"In the language of the local people, Celert is a silent soul hunter. They hunt souls, and those who get lost in the desert will be taken away by them." After the round face finished speaking, she turned to her boyfriend, "Is that so? ?”

The boyfriend nodded quickly and gave her a doting smile.

Duledin asked again: "Where is the temple they guard?"

"Holy Temple, Holy City, Fantasy Township, Ghost Town, almost every town has a different name," the round-faced girl said, "Just like Selet, some people call them Soul Hunters, while others call them Guardians."

As for the legend about the temple, it is even more like the Arabian Nights. Some people say that there was an ancient empire in the desert, which was swallowed by quicksand overnight. treasure.

Others said that it was a relic left by the gods in ancient times, and the guards kept taking away the souls to sacrifice to the gods.

"The more names and legends there are, the more it explains a problem." After listening for a long time, Shi Qianjin suddenly interjected, "No one has seen them for sure. Everything is just a rumor, a fairy tale."

"Most of them are indeed just legends," the round-faced girl blinked mischievously, revealing a somewhat sly smile, "but there is one person who has seen them with his own eyes and even been to Gensokyo."

Charlie's eyes widened: "Really, who is it?"

The round-faced girl smiled and said, "That person is in Terry Town. We went there to ask him where is Fantasy Township and what kind of place it is."

Du Leding thought that the girl was very smart, so she kept teasing them and lured them to Terry Town.But he still waved his hand and said, "We are not interested in the holy city ghost city, sorry we can't help you."

The round-faced girl pursed her lips, revealing an expression of extreme disappointment without concealment.Her boyfriend put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her: "It's okay, even if something really followed us, nothing happened along the way. Besides, we should be able to reach Terry Town before dark."

After the four said goodbye, Du Leding and the others returned to the car, glanced at the computer screen, and couldn't help but sighed.

Du Le Ding complained: "Did this tunnel dig through the entire desert and connect all the towns?"

"Poor mechanical spider, he's about to vomit blood from exhaustion." Charlie looked distressed.

Shi Qianjin sneered disdainfully: "It's just a robot, and it doesn't have life. At most, it can spit out some sand-proof mechanical oil."

Several people lazily passed the time with one sentence after another. Su Teng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "What do you think the temple those people mentioned just now are referring to?"

He was obviously asking Du Leding, but Shi Qianjin said first: "Places like the desert where every corner cannot be detected are usually full of mystery, and the temple they talk about should not really exist. Even if someone really sees some ancient ruins, it may be a mirage, and the main body is thousands of miles away."

Du Leding was more in favor of Shi Qianjin's statement, he nodded, and said slowly: "There is another possibility, that is, there is really a ruin of an ancient city in the desert, or a ghost city."

In the desert, strong winds blow from time to time, often forming wind-eroded landforms.Under the action of the airflow, the blown sand grains continuously impact and rub against the rocks. Due to the different shapes and hardness of the rocks themselves, they are carved into various strange shapes by the wind and sand, which seems to be deliberately done by someone.

Many travelers saw such a place in the desert, not knowing that it was a magical work of nature, but thought it was a ruins that had been inhabited by people, so they made up all kinds of strange stories, which became more and more strange.

"What if," Su Teng was still a little concerned after hearing what they said, "What if their so-called temple is the tomb we are looking for?"

Du Leding raised his eyebrows, his first reaction was that it was impossible, but soon he had a different idea.

Ever since they learned that the quantum field anomaly was in the Tekapo Desert, they preconceived that the tomb must be under the yellow sand.But it is very likely that the tomb is on the ground and has been seen by travelers in the desert.

People on this planet don't know the mausoleum, so they will naturally give it a special localized name. By the way, they will arrange a few legends according to their own inherent common sense.

"However, if the underground palace is really on the ground, we should be able to see it." Du Leding felt somewhat conflicted.

Su Teng said: "Do you still remember the missing soldiers of the 'Desert Scavengers'? Maybe they entered the underground palace. The corpses they saw were human sacrifices in the burial pit."

Du Leding: "You mean, some people can see and even enter that place, while others can't?"

Su Teng glanced at him: "Some special conditions may need to be triggered."

Shi Qianjin was confused: "What are you two talking about, can you take care of the audience's emotions?"

Du Le Ding patted Su Teng on the shoulder and motioned him to drive: "Let's talk later, let's catch up with those people in front first, and go to Terry Town to ask the person who has seen the temple."

The four of them had only been walking for more than ten minutes, and the predators roared and quickly chased them.

The round-faced girl ran over excitedly and leaned on the car window, "Have you changed your mind?"

"It is said that women are fickle," Du Leding smiled at her, "Actually, men are also the same. Get in the car."

There is a lot of space in the Predator, with three rows of seats, adding four people is not crowded at all.The round-faced girl and her boyfriend sat in the middle row with Shi Qianjin, the tall, thin and baby-faced girl sat in the back, and Charlie ran onto Dule Ding's lap.

While the traveler has increased his vision and experience in the vast world, he is also very broad-minded and can accommodate the world. He is also full of enthusiasm for the people he meets during the journey. In addition, the round-faced girl is cheerful by nature, and she talks non-stop along the way .

Her name is Mu You, and her boyfriend's name is Sime. They met on the Internet.Mu You is a small Internet celebrity who loves photography. From the initial posing to the later travel notes, they are all recorded on the Internet one by one, gaining many fans.

Sime is one of her fans and has supported her for several years.The two started chatting online and developed into real life. When they met for the first time, they had a special eye-catching relationship, so they got together.

After Mu You said it, Simo said affectionately: "I am also your fan now, and I will always be in the future."

Mu You smiled so that his eyes narrowed into slits, and the others were already sour.This young couple showed their affection all the time, and even their eye contact showed a kind of "I only have you in my eyes", which made the car smell sour.

The thin and tall guy sitting in the back is Yingyan, and his baby-faced name is Cook. They are all donkey friends who met on the Internet. They have an inexplicable longing for the Tekapo Desert, so they went together and went together to visit 54 towns in the desert. .

However, these towns are far away from each other. Although they rely on their legs most of the time, whenever they encounter a caravan or convoy, they will take a ride.

Du Leding yawned, and scratched his hair: "You can write a travel journal, and record all your travels in these 54 towns."

Babyface Cook said, "That's what I thought."

Mu You noticed the ring on Du Leding's hand: "Ding Ding, where did you buy your ring, I like this simple and elegant style."

Du Leding's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he glanced at Su Teng subconsciously.There was a smile on the corner of President Su's mouth, as if they shared a secret that only each other knew.

Du Leding licked his lips: "Handmade."

Mu You immediately became excited: "Wow, it's so meaningful."

Sime grabbed her hand: "Why don't we go to the handicraft store and make a pair ourselves."

"Do you want to be a couple?" Mu You looked at him with a smile.

Sime blushed and said, "Of course, I have long thought... I have long wanted to give you a ring to witness our love."

"Really!" Mu You blushed as if infected by him, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you to speak."

Shi Qianjin let out a "ha" laugh, and said unbearably: "Can you stop showing your love like no one else, and treat us as air?!"

Charlie felt that he didn't need to eat tonight, his stomach was full with the forced dog food.

The two of them smiled embarrassedly, and then turned to other topics.After more than two hours, they finally saw Terry Town from a distance.

Shi Qianjin felt awkward all over, and changed several postures along the way. She was tired of sitting for a long time. Seeing the outline of the town appearing in the setting sun, she felt a little better.

When the car drove into the edge of the town, no one was seen.There are lights and festoons on the street, and there are all kinds of strange models on the side of the road, some of which look like death cloaked in black cloth, some of which look like scarecrows, desert honeydew melons with their facial features dug out one by one, staring at them with ferocious expressions. with outsiders.

This situation reminded Du Leding of Halloween in small towns in Europe and the United States, but since it is a festival, shouldn't the streets be overcrowded with bear children running around?Why is there no one in the town.

The setting sun was quickly swallowed by the yellow sand, and all the lights on the street were turned on, but there was no lively atmosphere at all.All kinds of grotesque dummies standing quietly on the side of the street are illuminated by colorful lamps and candles, and shake with their teeth and claws when the wind blows.

The dead branches and shrubs rolling from the desert rolled into balls and were pushed by the wind to roll around on the ground, adding a bit of bleak sound effect to the eerie atmosphere.

Charlie shuddered: "Where are the people in this small town?"

The houses on both sides of the street were dark, and it seemed that the whole town had gone out, not even an empty nester or left-behind children.Duledin suspects that the residents here may be too shy to spy on them from behind the curtains.

"There's someone over there, let's go and ask him." Mu You stretched out his hand and pointed to the front, there was a hunched figure on the street crossing the road at a leisurely pace.

The only thing visible nearby is that person.They didn't feel lucky about it at all, but were a little uneasy.

Su Teng drove the car forward for a while, and the figure was already across the street.He honked the horn a few times, the sudden sound was particularly harsh on the silent street, but the man did not respond.

"Could it be a deaf person?" Hidehiko guessed, the tall and thin man.

Du Leding opened the car door: "You stay in the car, I'll go over and ask."

He jumped out of the car and found that Su Teng had followed suit.He didn't say much, and nodded to Su Teng, and the two of them chased after the hunched man in front of them in a tacit understanding.

Looking at that back and walking posture, Du Le Ding took it for granted that he was an old man, and shouted at him: "Master, I want to ask you something!"

The man didn't seem to hear it. Although Du Leding had already shouted loudly, he was still unmoved.

Du Leding stepped forward quickly, pressed the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master, you need a hearing aid..."

The man turned his head suddenly, startling Du Leding, the smile froze on his face, he even forgot what he wanted to say.

That face cannot be described as old, in fact, there is no age at all.The left half of his face seemed to be made of wax, it was about to melt, and it fell down layer by layer, almost all stacked together, hanging loosely on the bones, indescribably terrifying.

His drooping eyelids covered his left eye, barely catching a sinister gaze through the narrow slit.Although the right half of the face is not so scary, it is still lifeless, and with the lips turned outward, it is really 360-degree dead angle.

What's even more unbelievable is that his skin is slightly green, like the walking dead in some zombie movies.

This face was too horrifying for people to look directly at. Du Le Ding almost doubted whether it was still a living person.He quickly looked at Su Teng to wash his eyes, then calmed down, and said to the man calmly, "Big... what, is this Terry Town?"

The monster-like man grunted in his throat, but he couldn't tell if it was or not.

Du Leding swallowed, really didn't know where to look: "We are travelers passing by here, looking for a place to stay for one night. Where are the people in this town?"

The skin on the strange man's face trembled, his eyes stared straight at Du Leding, and he said a few words indistinctly.

Du Le Ding thinks that he may have been injured, similar to burns, and the vocal cords are also damaged.He looked around, but there was still no one there, so he could only patiently say, "Please tell me where we can go to find the hotel."

The weirdo remained silent, panting slightly with his mouth open.Du Leding was so uncomfortable being stared at by him that he had to give up negotiating with him and wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the strange man's eyes moved, and he suddenly raised his hand.Du Le Ding thought that his reflex arc was too long, and now he remembered to show the way, so he looked along his hand, and he suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Du Leding was taken aback, and looked down at the hand on his wrist, which looked like a ghost's claw, and its skin was as black as coke.The strange man was very strong, and he clasped his wrist tightly, almost crushing his bones.

Su Teng pressed the man's wrist: "let go."

The weirdo opened his mouth, and there was a creepy whimpering sound from inside.Du Leding's scalp was tight and he was eager to get rid of the shackles in his hands. The man refused to let go, but Su Teng grabbed him and screamed. The three of them were in a stalemate.

Du Leding really wanted to punch him, but looking at that face, he couldn't move his hand no matter what, he was afraid that he would use too much force and directly knock off that trembling layer of skin, it would be really horrifying.

And he felt as if the weirdo was eager to tell him something.

Just when Su Teng couldn't bear it anymore, there was a "wow" not far away, and brisk laughter came from the end of the street like running water.The two turned their heads and saw that many people suddenly appeared in the tallest and largest building in the town. There were smiles on the faces of men, women and children, and the whole town suddenly came alive, full of joyful atmosphere.

The strength on Du Leding's wrist suddenly loosened, and he looked back, the strange man had disappeared.
