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

The moment the door of the stone chamber was opened, a chilly aroma of wine rushed over.The front of the door suddenly lit up, as if a ball of light rose up in the black mist, and then it was like pressing a switch one by one, the hazy orange light passed down, lit up one after another, extending along a straight road to far away.

Du Le Ding stood in front of the stone chamber door and observed cautiously. The road seemed to be floating in the void, with darkness on both sides.Floor-to-ceiling palace lanterns as tall as a person stand facing each other on both sides of the road, lined up along the road.The ambiguous candlelight seemed to have been cut in half, and could only fall on the middle of the road, while the other side was hidden in the black mist.

There was a treacherous atmosphere in the air with the aroma of wine, Du Leding carefully took a step on the stone brick road, and left the stone room behind him.

There was a thick ointment inside the floor palace lantern. At first Du Leding thought that the faint smell of wine came from the burning of the special ointment, but when he took a closer look, he found a disgusting burnt smell.

The black mist on both sides of the road was dead silent, Du Le Ding couldn't help wondering what was in there, so he boldly stretched his hand in.

Barrage: Ding Ding, you are crazy!What if you retract your hand and find that only your wrist is left?

Barrage: A ghostly hand stretched out from the black mist and dragged the anchor in.

Barrage: Maybe it's another dimension.

Some viewers are guessing what is hidden in the black mist, and some viewers are worried that Duledin's actions will cause serious consequences.

This kind of black mist was everywhere in the stone room before. If it was poisonous or could cut off a human hand, then Du Leding would have died long ago.

He wanted to scare the audience, and retracted his hands into his sleeves, tricking them into losing his hands.But he quickly dismissed the idea of ​​playing a prank. After putting his hand into the black mist, he felt that it was not air, but something substantial.A cold and creamy touch enveloped his hand, as if it had been inserted into a slightly viscous liquid.

He made up some strange-looking mucus in his brain, and quickly retracted his hand.A gap was left in the black mist, and then it slowly returned to its original shape.He looked at his hands, there was nothing glued to them, but the strange feeling still remained on his skin.

He made a disgusted expression, and although he knew there was nothing, he still rubbed his hands on his pants.

After walking for seven or eight minutes along the road, a city wall appeared at the end of the road.The palace lanterns can only illuminate the vicinity of the door, and the walls extending to both sides are all hidden in the darkness.

The words "Gate to Hell" popped up in Du Leding's mind, but his walking speed did not slow down at all.When they got closer, they saw that the vermilion paint on the door was bright red, and there was no sign of peeling off at all, as if it had just been painted not long ago.

However, this door does not have any grand momentum, it looks like a side door or a back door.Du Leding tried to push it, but the door was tightly closed and did not move.

Barrage: The style of this door is so strange.

Barrage: The places Tintin has taken us so far are all strange.

Barrage: Is there some kind of mechanism, just like the glass tomb room before?

While checking the gate, Du Leding said: "This kind of door with complicated rafters usually appears in the imperial palace or palace. In addition to the vermilion lacquer, it should have a beast head with a ring. But there is no knocker on the door. It can be seen that from the beginning It’s not going to be opened.”

However, since it is a door, it is for people to enter and exit. Even if it is sealed, it is reasonable to say that there should be a special way of opening and closing.

The communicator rang, Du Leding picked it up, and heard Su Teng's voice saying, "It's been 9 minutes, why haven't you contacted me?"

Du Leding wanted to laugh a little: "I have something wrong here, I forgot."

"What's the matter?" Su Teng's voice sounded anxious, "Have you left the stone chamber yet?"

Du Leding described the current situation again, and said: "Where do you think this door will lead, will I be able to go to your side as soon as I open the door?"

"I also hope that you can come to me as soon as you open the door," Su Teng said in a low voice, "but I don't see the road or the door here."

Du Leding walked into the shadow on the left: "I remember Shi Qianjin said that there was a huge fire over there to roast the corpse."

Su Teng: "Well, I also saw fire, more than one, and corpse oil everywhere. But I don't know where he is."

Du Le Ding: "When we came, we could feel the thermal air flow. The air temperature here is also very high now. I suspect it is caused by those fires."

Su Teng: "That means that the spaces on both sides of us are connected."

Du Le Ding stopped, and saw a runner standing on the ground, about half a person's height, seven or eight meters away from the door.He said to Su Teng, "wait for me, I should have found the device to open the door."

As he spoke, he stuffed the communicator into his pocket first, held the handle and turned it vigorously.But the inside of the wheel seemed to be rusted and stuck, and he could only turn it a little bit with all his strength.

He shook his sore hand, turned the ring to activate the gambrel, and gripped the handle again, this time turning at last.

There was a tooth-piercing sound of metal friction, and the wheel turned to the end.Du Leding pressed the handle to open the door, but there was no movement.

He took out the communicator and said: "This is really strange, the wheel doesn't work well."

Su Teng: "Could it not be the mechanism to open the door?"

Du Leding touched his head: "No way, is this thing standing here just for decoration?"

He walked towards the opposite side unwillingly: "How is your side, did you find anything?"

Su Teng seemed to be walking too, and his breathing was not very uniform: "The legend of the skinner on the desert is indeed true. All the corpses have been skinned. Some corpses are very old, and some are still bleeding. For a long time, they were caught one after another. However, the corpses buried below did not rot, and there seemed to be a thin layer of mucous membrane on the surface."

Su Teng's voice has never fluctuated, and it sounds the same as usual.But when Du Leding thinks about the situation of cooking people like hell, he can't help being very worried.Those ancient dead souls not only took people away, but also peeled off their skins. What is the purpose?

Once people's imagination is not restrained, they will be free to let it go. Du Leding's thoughts flew away in a short time, and he thought of many possibilities.He pondered and recalled: "I remember when I first entered the industry...cough cough, when I first came into contact with unofficial history, I heard someone talk about a very weird sorcery."

Witchcraft and sorcery, no matter how they are called, are both good and bad. Some are for curing diseases and warding off evil spirits, and some are for harming people.Since primitive society, curses, puppets, and witchcraft are all ways for the ancients to borrow mysterious powers to achieve their own goals.

Generally speaking, the more remote the ethnic group and the worse the natural conditions, the easier it is to have some thoughts and behaviors related to gods and ghosts, and entrust the problems that cannot be solved by manpower to gods or evil spirits.In the late Warring States period and the Han Dynasty, due to the migration and mixing of ethnic groups, the wind of witchcraft permeated the Central Plains, and gradually became popular from the lower class to the upper class. There were many major witchcraft cases during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The sorcery that Du Leding heard was traced back to a long time ago, probably originated from an ancient mountain tribe in the pre-Qin period.It is said that after fighting with other tribes, they will skin the captives.

They will not touch the skin of a dead person, because their method requires that the entire skin can be completely peeled off when the person is alive.

There has been a long history of sayings about skinning and torture, and there are also different opinions about the so-called superb technical methods.What method this tribe used has been lost for a long time, only some people probably know that they first punched a hole in the Tianling Cap, and then poured the medicinal liquid soaked in some special insects.

Afterwards, the person becomes stiff and unable to move, and when the medicinal liquid flows through the whole body, the skin and flesh will be completely separated, and those skilled "craftsmen" can easily peel off the whole piece of skin.

Su Teng: "As a trophy?"

This sorcery sounds bloody and cruel. The only purpose he can think of is that the primitive tribe hangs up the whole human skin as a trophy to show off their achievements, just like those who cut off the enemy's head and hang it under the eaves.

Du Le Ding stopped and thought for a while: "When I was listening, I was thinking about skinning, but I forgot about it later, but it must not be a trophy. I remember that those skins seem to have important uses. related to the container."

What kind of container is it in?He vaguely remembered that this tribe slaughtered all the rival tribes, which seemed to be related to skinning.

Su Teng: "It's fine if you can't remember it. The most important thing right now is how we can get together."

Du Leding immediately put the skinning matter behind his head, he wanted to see Su Teng, although he didn't know what to say, but this urgency made him uneasy.

He walked to the right side of the gate, and it didn't take long before he found the same runner in the thinner black mist.

Du Leding: "I found the same device again, just wait for me, it will be ready soon."

"If it is normal, I will wait for you as long as possible. But now I can't see you and don't worry," Su Teng hesitated and said, "Keep the communicator connected, the battery should be enough, it is better to hear your voice do not know anything."

"No problem." Du Leding raised the corner of his mouth involuntarily, and put the communicator back into his pocket.Then he did the same thing with the wheel, and turned it for a full circle. Although the rattling sound could be heard, the gate remained indifferent.

Before that, he had already thought that the two wheels might have to rotate at the same time, but he still couldn't help but want to try it.

"Pills," Du Leding said to Su Teng, "This mechanism requires two people to activate it at the same time. Now I am alone, and it seems that I cannot enter this door."

Su Teng thought for a while and said, "How about using the steel cables on the arm armor?"

If you hook the opposite wheel with a steel cable, pull it to the other side, and turn the wheel with one hand at the same time, that one person can also control the two devices at the same time.

Du Le Ding is not stupid: "I have thought about it, but there is a problem that the inside of the wheel is very rusted. I have to wear arm armor and push it with both hands, so this plan is passed."

Su Teng: "If only I were by your side."

Du Leding's heart trembled, remembering that when he was witnessing Su Teng's past, he also had this idea, wanting to appear by his side when he was in the most painful and lonely time.

After people have experienced pain and suffering in their youth, they often grow into twisted and deformed monsters because they have never been treated with tenderness.Du Leding suddenly wanted to thank the illusion of being with the young Su Teng, which supported him to live tenaciously into the beautiful state he is now.

Su Teng: "Is there something wrong?"

The communicator was quiet for a while, and Su Teng thought that something was wrong with Du Leding, so he immediately became nervous.

"No," Du Leding said unnaturally, "I also want...that."

Su Teng was confused: "What?"

Du Leding's slick tongue didn't know where he flew, and he said falteringly: "I just want to go to your side...see if the legendary hell is so scary, and there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and so on. I have never seen it before!"

The audience has been driven mad—

Barrage: Holding the grass, our Tintin is so shy, it's unscientific!I do not believe!

Barrage: Don't be cowardly, Ding Ding, come out boldly!

Barrage: I can't wait to say for Ding Ding, little Susu, I want to go to your side and be with you! ! !

Barrage: Ding Ding is not even afraid of ghosts, but he is afraid of telling the truth to Xiao Susu, hhhhh Du Le Dingxin said that your sister is timid, I will not listen!

In the past, it didn't matter how they played and joked.Now that Du Leding thought of Su Teng, his inner feelings changed a lot, and suddenly he became clumsy with his tongue.

But Su Teng understood, and a chuckle came from the communicator: "Otherwise, don't go back to the stone room, just wait there, and I'll see if there is a way to leave."

Du Leding nodded, and then realized that Su Teng couldn't see him, so he laughed at himself and said, "Unless a rubber fruit pops out here for me to eat, my arms can be extended infinitely, and I turn on the second gear to pressurize, otherwise it will be too late." It can only be this way."

Su Teng asked curiously as he walked, "What is a rubber fruit?"

"Uh, when we get out of here, I'll tell you a story about a man who is going to be the One Piece..."

Facing the gate, Du Leding took a few steps back, but was patted on the shoulder unexpectedly, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The communication was interrupted, and Su Teng was stunned for a moment: "Ding Ding, what happened?"

It took a while for the voice to come from the communicator again: "Su Teng——"

The voice was completely breathless. Su Teng didn't hear it clearly at first, and it took a while to realize that it was Shi Qianjin's voice.Without even thinking about it, he directly turned off Shi Qianjin's channel, and said to Du Leding, "What's wrong, what did you see?"

Du Leding was alone in an unknown place, and Su Teng was already worried about him, but when he thought of what happened to him, he became anxious like a raging fire in front of him.

Du Leding thought that his intuition was quite sharp, if someone approached him from behind, even if he couldn't hear the footsteps, he wouldn't be unaware.So when he was patted on the shoulder unexpectedly, he realized that there was someone behind him, and he was really shocked.

He turned around abruptly, and saw an unexpected person—Ying Yan.

Du Leding took a step back, opening the distance between the two of them.In the stone room, Yingyan disappeared inexplicably like everyone else, but now he suddenly appeared here, and with Shi Qianjin's reminder, he felt more and more weird about this person, how awkward he looked.

However, he replied to Su Teng calmly: "It's okay, my own. I'll turn off the terminal communication first, and I'll talk about it later."

Just as Su Teng was about to stop him, he heard a sound of rubbing clothes, and then Du Leding said, "Why are you here, where are the others?"

Du Le Ding did not turn off the communication, the words just now may have been intentionally spoken to another person.Su Teng turned on the mute function, and while listening to Du Leding's situation, he speeded up to find a way out in the "underworld".

Ying Yan had no expression on his face: "When I was in the stone room, I felt a trance for a while, and after regaining consciousness, I went to another place."

"I know," Du Leding patted Yingyan on the shoulder, "It's a place like hell. How did you find it?"

Of course he didn't want to appease Yingyan, but just wanted to make sure that Yingyan was a human or a ghost.Hidehiko's thin shoulders are tight, but there is no strange feeling.

Yingyan swayed as if vulnerable, and seemed to be frightened, with a gloomy expression on his face: "That place is scary, there are always some strange sounds, I can only keep running until I see a faint light , and came over here.”

Du Leding glanced at the road, and said noncommittally, "So you came here through the black mist?"

Yingyan nodded mechanically: "Other people should be there too, let's go find them together."

As he said that, he walked to the dark place where the light could not reach, until he stepped into the black mist, only to realize that Du Le Ding hadn't followed, he turned around and looked at Du Le Ding's expression: "Why don't you go, you don't want to see To your companion?"

"Of course I want to, but don't be in a hurry." Du Le Ding took a few steps back and raised his hand to signal the door that couldn't be opened. "I'm curious about what's behind this door, but I can't open it by myself. , you just came, let's go in and have a look."

Yingyan looked past Du Leding and landed on the vermilion lacquer gate, and said lightly: "Let's find your companions first, don't you worry about their safety, I thought you have a good relationship."

"Of course, it's better than you can imagine." Du Leding smiled, "I'm worried about them, and even your friends. But I think the answer to all this may be behind the door, anyway, it's already at the door , why don't you go in and have a look."

As he spoke, he walked towards the wheel on the left.

Su Teng on the other side heard Du Leding say "unimaginably good", and his heart beat a little faster.He was eager to find Du Leding, but after walking for a long time, the place hadn't changed at all. If he couldn't distinguish a few corpses with strange postures, he really doubted that he was walking in circles.

Yingyan hesitated for a long time, and while walking towards the wheel on the right, he murmured, "Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat?"

As a legendary creature with nine lives, a cat will die of curiosity, let alone a person with only one life.

"I died once," Duledin said half-jokingly, half-seriously, holding the handle of the wheel, "but it wasn't out of curiosity."

When the two were ready, they turned the handles together. There was the sound of iron chains being pulled and the sound of a gate being opened from the ground. The creaking noises tore apart the silence in the darkness. The vermilion lacquered door finally opened in response to the sound and slowly rose up.

At the same time, just as Su Teng was about to continue searching in another direction, a figure suddenly flashed at the edge of the blend of fire and black mist.
