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

The giant python-like vines stretched freely, protruding from the air, the mountain wall and the cliff, tying each other together.The rich green shade seeps with water vapor, the top of the head is hazy, and the bottom of the valley is misty.

Occasionally, there were screams falling from the top of the sacred tree, and roars rising from under the altar, but in Dule Ding's ears, they all became distant and misty sounds, which were filtered into something completely negligible like the sound of insects. sound.

"It's been too long, and my memory is very bad, and I can't remember many details clearly," Song Zheng said casually, spitting out bloody saliva, "At first, what I found in the villa was that note .The notes were copied down, and I don’t know where the original text came from. There is an unbelievable story in it.”

The note is written under the name No.1. This person seems to be a person of high status. He is deeply concerned about the death of a relative. Because he heard that there is a mysterious power in this world that makes people immortal and bring the dead back to life, he decided to Find this way no matter the cost.

Du Leding shivered in the sweltering heat: "Is this person Song Xiangqi?"

Song Zheng was noncommittal, and continued: "At first, he thought this power came from a magical black box."

This man discovered a mysterious primitive nation living in the crypt.In order to obtain the secrets and divine power they guarded, he led his army to slaughter the inhabitants of the crypt, snatched the black box and obtained the meteorite.During the various twists and turns, the black box failed to revive the loved ones in the end.

The more Du Leding listened, the more he was sure that the original author of this note was Song Xiangqi, and it was precisely because he failed to revive Song Zhen that he went out to sea to find Wu Zeguo.

Song Zheng: "Probably the crypt dwellers were not slaughtered. From the mouths of the remaining survivors, he learned about a mysterious ancient country located on an island in the South China Sea. For this reason, he built a ship and led troops to sea, intending to attack the ancient country."

What happened next was roughly the same as what they saw in the mural.This person encountered some kind of monster in the sea, and the ship was shipwrecked. He drifted to the island with some cronies, and was caught in danger in the dense forest, and was finally caught and taken to the ancient country. By chance, he married the princess.

There he (thinks he) learns the secret of the sovereign's immortality, steals a scepter, and with the help of his wife, leaves the island and returns to Zhao.But things went wrong again, and the scepter couldn't bring the dead back to life.

Speaking of this, Song Zheng stopped: "My mouth is full of blood, the taste is too bad, can you rinse my mouth with saliva?"

Shi Qianjin brought the water bottle to his mouth, he stared at Shi Qianjin, drank a few sips of water, turned it around in his mouth and spit it aside, licked his lips, his expression seemed to be very happy.

The scepter cannot bring the dead back to life, but the recorder did. He must have discovered something.Du Leding urged: "Continue."

Song Zheng leaned on the stone pillar and said: "He is very unwilling, and has searched and tried various methods. Although his wife is a princess, the only one who has mastered that mysterious power is the monarch. No one knows this secret except him."

However, his wife mentioned that the ghost lizard has an amazing lifespan, so the recorder speculated whether the power of immortality might be related to the ghost lizard.In order to verify, he did a lot of experiments, and as a result, he made an astonishing discovery.

Charlie couldn't help but said: "What is the discovery, is it related to your body mutation?"

"He didn't write it in such detail, because these discoveries have nothing to do with bringing the dead back to life. He just said that he created a lot of monsters that were neither human nor ghost. They looked like they were not alive at all." Song Zheng looked at Yulin Shenmu Confused, "It took a long time before he finally knew the secret of the monarch's immortality."

Du Leding stared at Song Zheng closely, his heart beating fast, anxiously waiting for him to reveal the answer, but unexpectedly Song Zheng said: "Unfortunately, it is not written in the record."

Charlie: "..."

Barrage: Fuck, this is the rhythm of obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Barrage: Why on earth!

Barrage: Talking half is equal to killing!

Barrage: In our place, if you speak half of your words, you will be beaten.Indifference.jpg "Did the record not be written, or you didn't want to say it?" Du Leding's forehead was bulging with veins, and he clenched his fist subconsciously.

Song Zheng looked innocent: "Why don't I want to say, what is there to hide about this kind of thing?"

Du Leding gritted his teeth: "Continue."

Song Zheng frowned, as if he was trying to remember: "Although he solved the mystery of eternal life, he still couldn't save his loved ones, so he gave up everything in the end."

"Give up everything? Does that mean he's dead?" Du Leding thought it was best, otherwise he would never die by using that soul transfer method?This kind of thing is scary to think about.

Song Zheng nodded: "After seeing everything away, he gave up the scepter."

They finally found the fish god's scepter in the underwater temple. It seems that Song Xiangqi really no longer misses the world.But had he successfully performed a miracle of resurrection before his final death?

"When I first saw this handwritten note, I thought it was a novel written by someone, and I didn't take it to heart." Song Zheng smiled softly, "The villa is very big, and there are many strange things hidden in it. I often spend time there, and it didn't take me long to find the Purple Gold Astrolabe, and I immediately remembered the astrolabe you always carry with you."

The silent Su Teng suddenly said: "Then why didn't you go to the orphanage to ask Tintin to explain this?"

"The little mute has had a fantasy since he was a child, thinking that this astrolabe can help him find his family." Song Zheng narrowed his eyes and smiled at Du Leding, "I'm afraid when I think about it. What about Yuanyuan? I finally became the 'only child' of the Song family, and I don't want another person to steal things from me."

Du Leding looked at him condescendingly, and suddenly sympathized with him.Some kind of distorted possessive desire had taken root in his heart early on, even if he hadn't been bitten by a ghost lizard, he was still a monster.

"You're sick," said Charlie sullenly.

Song Zheng nodded, seeming to agree: "I hid the astrolabe, just as if this hadn't happened. A few years later, I met Chi Ze by chance at a party, and we got together after a while."

Hearing Chi Ze's name, Shi Qianjin tensed all over, and blurted out: "So you're not with him because he has an astrolabe?"

"In the beginning, I really didn't know that he had an astrolabe," Song Zheng lowered his eyes and said quietly, "He is young and beautiful, and has a good personality. His gentle and peaceful appearance always reminds me of Shen Yu when I was young."

Shi Qianjin's face turned blue: "What... do you mean?"

"Didn't Du Le Ding tell you?" Song Zheng smiled at Du Le Ding with a look of surprise, "Actually, you are quite soft-hearted."

Shi Qianjin looked at Du Leding with doubts in his eyes.Du Leding's expression was tense: "Since you are thinking about Shen Yu all the time, why don't you go back to the orphanage to find him?"

"I went," Song Zheng sighed with some regret, "but when I went, the orphanage had been converted into some kind of activity center, and I found out what happened that year after many inquiries."

These words brought back an unpleasant memory for Du Leding.There is a man-eating "monster" living in the orphanage. Children are often taken away at night, some of them never come back, and some are covered in bruises even if they come back.He had heard miserable cries and seen a body covered with scars. Although he didn't understand what happened when he was young, he was inexplicably afraid.

Song Zheng said in a low voice: "I have inquired many times, but I couldn't find any news about Shen Yu, so I had to give up searching in the end."

After being silent for a while, Song Zheng resumed his leisurely expression and continued with his previous memories: "After learning that Chi Ze also had an astrolabe, I realized that the astrolabe should have nothing to do with your life experience, and may have other functions. I have been in many places before. From the information and records, I accidentally learned something about Wuze Country, but it is impossible to find it now."

"Why?" Dulotin asked.

"The Song family went bankrupt, they sold the villa, all the things inside that could be sold, and the materials were also processed." Song Zheng said calmly, "I guess those materials may have passed into Qin Chu's hands, or he I learned about Wuze Kingdom through some channels, so I started to study this lost civilization.”

"That's why you want to rob the tomb with us." At that time, Du Leding thought it was because the rich were poor and bored looking for excitement.

Song Zheng said: "There is a reason for this, but the main reason is that I thought I would not live long."

Du Leding raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, I'm sick and dying, it's as simple as that." Song Zheng laughed suddenly, a little self-deprecating, a little nostalgic, "After Chi Ze knew my real situation, he followed me steadfastly..."

"Is our reunion really a coincidence? Why didn't you tell us about your situation?" Du Leding asked suspiciously.

"It was a chance encounter. Suddenly, the person I never forget and one of the holders of the astrolabe appeared in front of me. I thought it was an opportunity given to me by God." Song Zheng said, "And in my case, I am also very concerned about Shen Yu said."

He not only told about his situation, but also told Shen Yu about his notes.At that time, he was very scared and didn't want to die at a young age. Although he was skeptical, he still wanted to try to find the mysterious power recorded in the notes.

Du Leding was stunned. He always thought that Shen Yu would have nothing to say to him, but he didn't expect Shen Yu to hide Song Zheng's secret.Maybe he overestimated the relationship between himself and Shen Yu.

"Shen Yu thinks this is very unreliable, so let me stop thinking about it. Even if there is such an unimaginable power, there must be a price for something that violates the natural laws of birth, old age, sickness and death." Song Zheng paused , "Shen Yu is not wrong at all, the price is terrible."

But as if it was destined by the heavens, they accidentally discovered the clay pot with algae patterns, followed the clues to find the Northwest Tomb, and a series of things happened.

Du Le Ding's chest was suffocated, and he questioned: "What happened in the ancient tomb, you can tell me now."

"I didn't lie to you, I really don't remember." Song Zheng suppressed his smile and looked serious, "After we entered the tomb, it seems that we separated for some reason, right?"

Du Leding said nothing, but in fact it was so.At that time, I didn't know what was staring at it, but after entering the ancient tomb again, it was confirmed that it should be a ghost lizard.At that time, because they couldn't see the shape of the ghost lizard clearly, they thought they were resentful spirits in the tomb. During the process of being hunted down, they scattered in the maze-like ancient tomb.

"More than that, there were two more groups of people in the ancient tomb later." Song Zheng recalled with a frown, "First, the reporter and his partner who were looking for news everywhere, and then the bar owner and Madman Lin also went in."

On the one hand, the astrolabe attracts each other like a magnet, causing all related parties to enter the Wushan Ancient Tomb at the same time. On the other hand, Song Zheng single-handedly facilitated this matter.After he arrived in Qixin Town, he learned that the holders of the seven astrolabes were all here, so he deliberately released the news to Qin Chu, and hinted Qin Chu's motives and purpose to the bar owner He Liang.He Liang loves Qin Chu so much, he will definitely follow out of fear.

At that time, he thought that the astrolabe was probably a mechanism to open something. Since these seven people could get together, if they entered the ancient tomb at the same time, they would definitely not be able to resist using the astrolabe to open the mechanism.However, unexpectedly, there is no such mechanism in the ancient tomb of Wushan.What I didn't expect was that there would be so many troubles inside.

It was during the time when Shen Yu was scattered that he discovered Hu Min's body and got the Green Phantom Astrolabe from him.Song Zheng said: "Although the two of us are somewhat at odds, do I have a reason to kill you? You are neither my enemy nor my rival in love..."

I thought the truth was right in front of my eyes, but unexpectedly the only insider claimed that I didn't remember anything.Du Leding wished he could dig out Song Zheng's heart, cut his head open, and see what secrets were hidden in the sealed memory.

His eyes were flushed, and he bit his lip until it bleeds. He suppressed the manic anger in his body and said, "What happens after that?"

Du Leding was not clear about the confusion, and Song Zheng was also vague, repeatedly saying that he couldn't remember clearly.After leaving the ancient tomb of Wushan, Song Zheng and Shen Yu parted ways temporarily.Song Zheng sold a pair of the four silver bells he got from the ancient tomb on the black market, getting rid of the economic crisis.When he wanted to find Shen Yu again, the city where Shen Yu was located was blocked due to virus experiments.

Song Zheng tried his best but failed to go to the city to rescue Shen Yu. Soon after, the virus broke out and the climate and environment changed rapidly, but he found that he was not affected at all, and the terminal illness he had confirmed before was cured.

"Do you know how surprised I was at that time?" Song Zheng took a deep breath, licked the corner of his mouth and said, "After thinking about it, the only possibility is that I was bitten by a black monster in the ancient tomb of Wushan. Although the wound There was a change, but I felt a power I had never felt before. This power allowed me to survive the hordes of zombies and global warming unscathed, and even years later my appearance and body remained unchanged."

"Did I just live forever? Did I possess unique power? From then on, can I squander my endless life without any scruples?" Song Zheng grinned, "But it didn't take long for Shen Yu's words to It has come true, this power is not immortal, and it comes with a terrible price."

Du Leding already knows what the price is, but his situation is slightly different from that of Song Zheng, and Song Zheng must have experienced this terrifying power more deeply in the past 60 years. He wants to hear what Song Zheng said What is the situation.

"In many nights, I did some terrible things unconsciously, but I couldn't remember it at all afterwards." Song Zheng recalled in a daze, "During the period of resisting zombies, I established a temporary base with some people, With continuous efforts, it has gradually become a solid city, and many survivors have come here because the chances of survival will be greatly improved if they join us."

Song Zheng fell silent suddenly.Du Leding kicked his leg with his toe: "And then?"

"Then, after successfully resisting a large number of zombie attacks, we partyed all night, temporarily forgetting the painful struggle of the end of the world, the sadness of losing relatives and friends, and allowing ourselves to indulge for a night. We were all drunk, and many people simply lay in the square Go to sleep," Song Zheng tilted his head and thought for a while, "the next morning, I woke up in a pool of blood, surrounded by corpses, all the people who built the base with me and hugged and carnivaled the night before. The whole building The base seemed to be bloodbathed by zombies, and I was the only one who survived."

"You killed them all?" Shi Qianjin trembled uncontrollably.

Song Zheng was a little confused. He didn't know if he was really uncertain or if he lost his memory: "Probably, I can't remember. The gate of the base is not damaged, and there are no shadows of zombies in the city, so it should be me. Bar."

Su Teng thought of one thing: "During the Sangling Mansion, Knight was injured. She said that she met a monster in the warehouse. Its actions were similar to ghost lizards, but its body was human. That thing is you. ?"

"Are you kidding me, can you change your shape when I shout 'Transform'?" Song Zheng laughed, "It was brought back by our people from the shipwreck tomb at the bottom of the sea, just like a certain creature on this island , seems to be a combination of humans and ghost lizards."

Du Le Ding thought of the monster with a long tail: "What's the matter with those things, I have seen people with fish tails."

"The lizard man brought back from the shipwreck tomb may be one of the products of Song Xiangqi's experiments," Song Zheng said. "As for the strange people on this island and the nearby sea area, they may have been residents of the island."

He raised his head and looked upwards, his sight was blocked by the shadow of the treetop of Yugao Shenmu: "Perhaps the black mist is a gas that can mutate people. In this environment, the speed of deformation will be accelerated."

"You mean, after the black mist was released, everyone on the island became perverted... mutated?" Charlie asked in surprise, covering his mouth.

So what is implied in the records of the insanity of the Americans is this process.Some of the people on the island died in the black mist, while some gained unusually strong vitality and lifespan at the cost of becoming monsters.

"The bite of the ghost lizard has the same effect as the black mist," Duledin pondered. "What species is the ghost lizard?"

Song Zheng knew something about Wuze country a long time ago. After arriving on the island, he got more information through the murals and some scrolls left behind: "All the roots should be related to the meteorite. The ghost lizard may be on the island. A monster born in the black mist at the bottom of the crater."

"There is another possibility. Have you ever heard the saying that the earth is hollow? There is still a space under our feet. Maybe the explosion of the crater opened a door on the ground, and the monsters that originally lived underground crawled out." Song Zheng After a pause, "All in all, Wu Zeguo regards it as a god and totem, and the image of the fish god should also come from the ghost lizard."

Du Leding really didn't see any similarities between the fish god and the ghost lizard, but the tail of the fish was similar to the tail of the "mermaid".

"How to stop the body from mutating?" Su Teng was most concerned about this issue.

Song Zheng clicked his tongue twice: "Did you forget that if you leave your eyes alone, sooner or later you will be like Shen Yu, with bloody eyes, blind eyes, and unconsciousness..."

Du Leding couldn't help picking up Song Zheng's collar: "How do you know so clearly about Shen Yu's old age?"

"Isn't it very simple?" Song Zheng smiled sadly, "I've seen him before."

Su Teng was a little surprised: "When?"

"What's so important about this kind of thing?" Song Zheng looked at him secretively. "Isn't the most urgent thing to find a way to eliminate the body mutation and prevent the double pupil from deteriorating?"

Du Leding let go of his hand and said, "Then tell me quickly."

"Think about it with your brain," Song Zheng joked, "Why didn't those warriors change shape, but basically kept their human appearance?"

It can't be said that the samurai has no transformation at all, but compared to those weirdos, they still look human, and it can be seen that the mutation occurs on them extremely slowly.

Su Teng's thoughts turned: "Is it related to the Fish God's Stone? If the influence of the Fish God's Stone is radiant, then everyone around the monarch can resist the alienation of the black mist."

On the way here, they saw a group of murals, the monarch and some warriors were facing the black mist at the well of the altar and didn't know what to do.Wuze Kingdom probably adopted a certain method to seal up the black mist, which can not only ensure that the residents will not mutate, but also allow those with the highest power to use the power of the black mist to maintain their humanity with the help of the Fish God Stone.

"You haven't been to the palace, have you?" Song Zheng asked, "When we were chased by warriors, we entered the palace and found records about the function of the Fish God Stone."

As they guessed, the Black Mist gave the Lord and his guard the power of the Ghost Lizard, and the Fish God Stone kept them from becoming sanity monsters.

As long as the black mist dissipates and the Fish God Stone is obtained, even if he can't leave the island in a short time, Duledin doesn't have to worry about mutation anymore.

Charlie jumped up excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go find the Fish God Stone!"

"Well, the Fish God's Stone is in the temple." Song Zheng said with a faint smile, "I'm dying of thirst after talking so much."

Du Leding didn't feel excited at all, how could Song Zheng give up something that was at his fingertips so easily, and the matter about double pupils has not been clarified yet.He poured a few sips of water on Song Zheng, and then asked, "Is it that simple, what about Su Teng's eyes?"

"Eyes?" Song Zheng grinned cruelly, "The reason why I want to kill Su Teng is because the Fish God Stone can only be used to control mutations or change double pupils. choose one."

He looked at the bloodless Du Leding: "How about it, do you choose to become an inhuman monster or die in pain, or watch your loved one's eyes bleed, become mentally disturbed, and fall into a hallucinatory hell of fear? There is no other way than to die?"
