Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]
Chapter 17 The 1st Victim
When everyone came back, everyone could finally sit together and share what happened tonight.
"The few of us came down together," Zhang boldly spoke the fastest, so he explained the situation: "We were discussing about solving the mystery of Buddha jade, but Teacher Chen mentioned that there is a tomb under the mountain. Hey, let's sit down We couldn't stop running down together, no, we found the big baby, and almost lost our souls."
Li Qiu was slightly concerned, but unexpectedly, even Glasses Chen knew about the Buddha's burial.
"Brother Zhang is fine with a few people. Why didn't Mr. Wei go look for him after he separated from his wife? How dangerous is her family in this barren mountain and wild place?"
Teacher Wei shook his head, "I know she will definitely come to this tomb. We will gather here after we have an appointment. And my wife is very powerful, so I don't need to worry about it at all."
Having said that, such an objective and calm attitude does not look like an intimate couple.
Li Qiu told them what happened in the pit, and everyone fell into silence. "So, everything is the fault of that surnamed Huang? He tricked us into this place to crack the secret of the Buddhist jade, and finally told us to all enter this Buddha's tomb?"
"There are so many treasures in the Buddha's tomb, does he want us to steal treasures together?"
"Hey, Mr. Wei, that old Huang is now chasing your wife and running away, please tell me what to do."
"If she enters the tomb, she will definitely find a way to join us," Teacher Wei said with great conviction. "I have confidence in my wife. She is as enthusiastic about learning and research as I am. Anyway, we have already entered now." , if you want, you might as well explore this place with us.”
The treasures of an incomparably rich country come first, Teacher Wei's words are sincere, and everyone understands and agrees.But from the beginning to the end, everyone's eyes didn't leave the gleaming treasure mountain, Li Qiu saw it and felt a bit worried.
Just when people felt itchy again and wanted to take advantage of the treasure, Ah Jiu suddenly said, "It's okay to visit the tomb, but it's not okay to move these treasures."
A donkey friend was unconvinced, "Why can't you do it? Anyone who sees something in the bucket has a share. If you are jealous, come and get it. No one stops you from making a fortune."
Zhang Bold was the first to react, and gave the man a shudder angrily, "Yaoshou, you still want to get rich or not, just look at your hand!"
The donkey friend looked down, and "ah", he was slumped on the ground, and the darkness that was originally only in the palm of his hand had spread to his arms at some point, and instead of being washed away by the water, it spread even worse.
"Yes, poisonous!?"
"Yes, if you carry a few more emerald bottles, you will be able to see Hades before dawn."
Upon hearing this, the donkey friend shook off the backpack on his back in a panic, and the bulging backpack was actually full of treasures.Zhang boldly and contemptuously rolled his eyes, glanced at the other people from the corner of his eye, and those donkey friends pulled the luggage awkwardly, and poured out three pearl strings from it.
Li Qiu let out a "huh" and suddenly thought of something: "You will die before dawn, Ah Jiu, do you remember that Captain Huang seems to have said this before he left, saying that if he doesn't get the Buddha jade, all of us will die?" Everyone dies before dawn."
Ah Jiu didn't take it seriously, "It's just pointless intimidation, why mention this."
"But Ms. Wei also said that the curse about Town Demon Pool..."
Ah Jiu didn't return to him, she stood up straight and walked towards the pool behind the pile of gold sand.Zhang Boldness was a good thing, and he asked nervously, "Where is the Town Demon Pool? And what is the curse?"
Teacher Wei, who was rubbing his hands at the side, was startled when he heard the sound, and hurried over: "You...you didn't mean to break into the Demon Suppressing Pond in this tomb, did you?"
Li Qiu opened his mouth and said honestly: "It's 'us', Captain Huang, Ms. Wei, and me. The three of us all fell into the pool at that time."
Teacher Wei's body was shaken as if struck by lightning, as if she would faint every minute, she finally gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "How... how...how could... how could she be so careless, no! I can't wait here anymore , I want to go back and find her immediately!"
"But in fact, we followed Ms. Wei's footsteps all the way here," Li Qiu kindly reminded, "She should have arrived here before us. You guys have been here all along, haven't you seen her?"
As soon as these words came out, all kinds of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the group of people.Even if Ms. Wei really ran here, they were obsessed with treasure mountain at that time, how could they have the time to notice who came.But now that Ms. Wei is not here, there is only one possibility.
"She probably didn't stay in the lobby, so let's move on." Teacher Wei pushed his glasses and quickly calmed down, "According to the records in the ancient Buddhist scriptures, sinners who step into the Demon Town Pond will be bitten by hundreds of ghosts." tortured, and then sink into the purgatory of death in repentance and self-blame. The only way to be saved is to get the blessing of the Buddha's relics."
"Buddha's relic, the bones left by the eminent monk after sitting down?"
Teacher Wei nodded affirmatively: "Since this is the Buddha's burial tomb, it is very likely that the Buddha's relics are buried here. My wife also knows this, so she is probably in a hurry to find the main tomb, hoping to get the Buddha's relics to lift the curse, so there is no chance at all." Staying here, there is no time to wake us up."
At this time, Glasses Chen, who had been silent all this time, came over, "Your name is Li Qiu, right? You said that there were three people who fell into the Devil's Town before?"
"Correct."
Glasses Chen rubbed his chin, "Then it's very possible that Captain Huang has also gone to the main tomb. Because Team Huang also knows about the town demon pool you mentioned. To tell you the truth, Team Huang actually found the tour guide and planning materials this time." I did it, I collected a lot of anecdotes about the Longmen Grottoes, and there is a legend about the Town Demon Pool in it."
Zhang Bold took two steps back, looking up at the high pile of gold sand, "Then the question is, even if we didn't notice when those two people came, how did they leave this closed hall?"
At this time, Ah Jiu's unwavering voice came from the side of the pool.
"Of those two people, only one left, and the other didn't."
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the surnamed Huang and that woman are hiding among us?" A donkey friend walked over bawlingly, and stood beside Ah Jiu inexplicably.Ah Jiu took back the long stick from before, went deep into the pool to stir it a little, and then picked it up vigorously—a heavy object was slowly lifted out of the water by him.
The donkey friend took a few steps back and stammered: "My God! It's——it's the surname Huang! The surname Huang drowned in the pond!"

A few minutes later, Team Huang's wet body was carried to the shore by the crowd.
A few hours ago, the chattering and laughing people turned into a cold corpse in an instant, a huge gap enveloped the crowd, and the atmosphere was frighteningly oppressive. Zhang boldly walked to a place where no one was around, frowning and nodded to himself. a cigarette.Li Qiu remembered that Zhang Bold had a chat with Huang Dui while in the car, even if the two were not close friends, they must have had a long friendship.
Only Ah Jiu was unaffected, and pulled out a sharp and slender dagger from his waist, and cut open the wet underclothes of Team Huang in two or three strokes.
"Ah Jiu, what are you doing?"
"Check the cause of death, don't you want to know how the yellow team died?"
This sentence is poking at the question in the bottom of everyone's heart, yes, how could such a good-looking person in the yellow team drown in this pool for no reason.Even if the yellow team can't swim, the pool is only a few meters away from the pile of treasures. If the yellow team struggles loudly in the water, there is no reason for the others to be awake.
Teacher Wei squeezed the sore bridge of his nose, and shook his head heavily: "What else is the reason? Captain Huang's accident must be because of the curse of the Town Demon Pool! He trespassed into the Town Demon Pool, and he is destined to die in this tomb. "
Not many people present believed in ghosts and ghosts, but for some reason, no one could immediately refute Teacher Wei's words when faced with Team Huang's dead body.
Ah Jiu glanced at him, without saying a word, lowered her head and continued with the work at hand.When he slashed open the tight neckline pulled by Huang Dui, the glasses Chen who was standing closest suddenly lost his legs and sat on the ground: "His neck...his neck...can you see if that is a devil?" teeth marks?!"
Everyone gathered around at once, and saw six or seven strange bruises appearing on Huang Dui's white neck. Looking carefully, it was the marks left by teeth gnawing.Huang Dui's eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead, his hands clenched stiffly, and the criss-crossed bruises on his neck were particularly shocking.
Teacher Wei shouted: "That's right, this is the punishment of ghost bite! It's the curse of Town Devil's Pool!"
Li Qiu touched his neck subconsciously. There were three people who stepped into the Demon Suppressing Pond, one of them, Team Huang, had already died, so what about him... Did he also fall under this terrible curse?
The uneasy atmosphere quickly spread in the hall, Ah Jiu didn't say a word, quickly stripped Huang Dui's clothes off, and carefully inspected his mouth and pupils.Zhang Bold, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward and said, "Brother, I see that your autopsy is quite professional. What did you do before?"
Ah Jiu sneered, "Don't worry, it's not what you think."
Zhang boldly didn't answer, but stood there with a sullen mouth. Others thought he was shocked by Huang Dui's body and didn't pay much attention.
Emboldened by courage, Li Qiu also moved over. Team Huang's body could not be seen with any external injuries, only a string of bloodless bruises on his neck, proving that he was in extreme pain before he died.No wonder everyone couldn't find a second explanation except for ghosts.
Ah Jiu raised his voice and said, "Mr. Wei, Mr. Chen, did you encounter any traps when you went down to the tomb?"
"Ah, there is, it's just a broken mechanism." Mr. Wei replied in a daze, and Glasses Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "We came across a rather old-fashioned trigger mechanism, and when you step on it, a lotus flower will be released. Arrows are similar to the rainstorm pear blossom needle in martial arts, especially dangerous."
"In this case, why do you say it's a broken mechanism?"
"Because it's okay even if you get hit by the mechanism." Glasses Chen made a gesture with a blushing face. "Actually, I was slow and got hit at that time. The whole shoulder was covered with needles. But when I shook my clothes, the needles all fell off. No, it didn’t go into the bone at all. You can see that I’m alive and kicking, which means there’s no poison on the needle, but thousands of years ago, it would definitely be a big killer.”
"Did the machine needle shoot all over your body?"
"That's not true, let's shoot to the shoulder and neck, but this is enough to kill people."
Ah Jiu nodded, and carefully looked at the corpse's hands again.After the inspection, Ah Jiu leisurely looked at Teacher Wei who had been fidgeting just now, and said with a smile, "The curse of the ghost bite seems to have really come true. Now that things are going on, will Teacher Wei continue to look for your wife?"
"Of, of course! If you want to see a person, if you want to see someone, if you want to see a dead body, and maybe she, she is still alive... I will go to the main tomb to find her!"
Ah Jiu pointed to the pool in front of him: "Captain Huang thought that Ms. Wei had stolen the Buddha Jade, so he chased her all the way. Now Team Huang's body is in the pool, which means..."
Zhang boldly grinned "Hey", "That is to say, the way out of this ghost place is in the pool?"
The pool is not big, but it is very deep. Otherwise, so many people washed their hands by the pool before, they should have found the corpses sunk in it long ago.But Ajiu saw it—only this man named Ajiu saw it. Zhang's bold and inquiring gaze rested on Ajiu again, trying to dig out some unknown secrets from Ajiu's calm expression.
"The few of us came down together," Zhang boldly spoke the fastest, so he explained the situation: "We were discussing about solving the mystery of Buddha jade, but Teacher Chen mentioned that there is a tomb under the mountain. Hey, let's sit down We couldn't stop running down together, no, we found the big baby, and almost lost our souls."

A donkey friend was unconvinced, "Why can't you do it? Anyone who sees something in the bucket has a share. If you are jealous, come and get it. No one stops you from making a fortune."
Zhang Bold was the first to react, and gave the man a shudder angrily, "Yaoshou, you still want to get rich or not, just look at your hand!"
The donkey friend looked down, and "ah", he was slumped on the ground, and the darkness that was originally only in the palm of his hand had spread to his arms at some point, and instead of being washed away by the water, it spread even worse.
