Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Everyone looked down vigorously, as if they wanted to distinguish the characteristics of rats from these meat sausages.At this time, the guy on the side shouted: "Uncle Yun, there is a ropeway here! It can cross to the other side."

Everyone ran to see that on the edge of the cliff, there were four or five pure black stone pillars, corresponding to them, and the same pillars were erected on the other side.These pillars are connected by arm-thick black ropes. The guys counted them, and there are eight in total, which look very strong.

But no one paid attention to these ropes, because their eyes were all attracted by a black coffin in the middle of the ropes.The lid of the coffin was half open, and the inside was empty, with no artifacts or remains, it was actually an empty coffin.

This is not a tomb. It is strange to have a coffin, and it is also a strange empty coffin.The guy standing closest shivered, and said in fear, "Could it be that something inside... has come out?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in danger, and there was a commotion again, and Shang Yunkuang had to stop the crowd again.

The black hood looked at the other bank, then at the black coffin, and chuckled: "Don't think about it, the cables are all set up for you, and we are told to slide over in this coffin."

When everyone saw it, it was true that the black rope cableway on the cliff, if the coffin was used as a cable car, it could just take advantage of the height difference to slide to the opposite bank.

"The black coffin cable car, tsk, it's so fucking exciting."

"That's right, skating to the opposite bank, wouldn't it symbolize the Yin and Yang sides? Don't die as soon as you pass."

"Don't forget that there are mice below, in case it slides halfway and falls..." The man didn't go any further, but shuddered heavily.

The guys said to each other, pushed and shoved, and no one was willing to move forward, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would be pushed up to the coffin cable car first.Soon the subordinates who were inquiring around came back and reported that apart from the coffin cable car, there was no passable road around.

Shang Yunkuang has been observing, and when he heard the end, he let out a light breath.

"Indeed, this is a 'death coffin'."

Death coffin, death pass, life and death depend on each other, connecting the two sides of yin and yang.Many people have heard that the death coffin is not an ordinary coffin, but refers to the game in the tomb. It can even be said that where there is a death coffin, there must be a subsequent passage.But the price is that you need to exchange life and death, life in exchange for death.

In other words, the death coffin is the only way to survive. As long as a living creature is put into the death coffin, the way forward will appear naturally.

Chen Qiu clasped his palms, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Shang Yunkuang looked at everyone present, and saw all the expressions of uneasiness, holding his breath, or dodging.The black hood grinned and clapped his hands. The dazed Ye Yan stepped out of the crowd and came to Shang Yunkuang.

Shang Yunkuang raised his head, frowned and said nothing.

Ye Yan shook, gradually waking up in the chaos.He seemed to have had a beautiful dream, fulfilling and gratifying. There was no illness or separation in the dream, only him, and...Ge Tianyou.

Ye Yan blinked his eyes, and it took him a while to see clearly where he was.In front of him was an underground cliff that he had never seen before. He was standing outside the crowd of strangers, and everyone was staring at him with complicated eyes.

Shang Yunkuang's throat twitched, but he didn't say anything in the end, but pointed casually at the opened black coffin on the edge of the cliff.

"Go in, into that coffin."

Ye Yan took a step back at a loss, not understanding what was going on, why when he woke up, everyone paid attention to him, and asked him to enter a coffin! ?

Seeing that Ye Yan didn't respond for a long time, Shang Yun took a step forward, Ye Yan backed away again in shock, but was surrounded by other people and couldn't escape.

"Where is this place, what are you going to do... who are you guys..."

The crowd around him were cold and indifferent, looking down at him like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Ye Yan wanted to escape helplessly, but there was no escape.

"What are you afraid of, don't you want to die?"

Shang Yunkuang's voice fell from the top of his head like thunder, and Ye Yan trembled all over, as if someone had cast a spell on his body on the spot, and the blood on his face faded away instantly.

Chen Qiu was so angry that he trembled all over, he wanted to go over with a stride, but was caught by Master Shang.

After a long time, Ye Yan's shoulders trembled, and he repeated Shang Yunkuang's words like a puppet, with a numb smile on his lips.

"You... you're right."

I wanted to die. From the moment I left Beijing, I had no thoughts or desires, and I was buried in this vast grassland.

After finishing speaking, Ye Yan closed his eyes and walked over. The coffin is not small, and an adult can easily lie in it.Ye Yan put the lid on the coffin, turned his head and took a last look at the unfamiliar crowd, those people also looked at him from afar, some were surprised, some were indifferent, but there was no concern or familiarity.

Ye Yan didn't hesitate any more, and lay down in the coffin.

The coffin seemed to be alive, and it closed in an instant when Ye Yan lay down, making a dull "bang".After Ye Yan entered, he didn't make a sound of struggle, as if he was integrated into the black coffin quietly.Shang Yunkuang walked over and pushed the black coffin into the rope track by himself.

"Come here, stand closer."

Shang Yunkuang put one hand on the coffin and ordered: "Xiaomu, Dali, you two stand on the right side, let's put this coffin together..."

Before he finished speaking, a shocking gunshot pierced the eardrums of everyone present.

Shang Yunkuang's pupils trembled, and he rushed out of the crowd quickly, his heart almost jumped out of his voice with excitement - on a high ground not far away, a man was half squatting on the ground, holding a smoking pistol in his hand, looking around Xing is a man, and his face is covered with a cold ghost mask.

The abrupt people, the masks of ghosts, are particularly permeating in the world at the bottom of the tomb.

Everyone present didn't even know whether the guy who appeared suddenly was a human or a ghost, and instinctively wanted to back away.While retreating, only the Shang family rushed forward without hesitation, aiming at the ghost-masked man with the guns in their hands without anyone's orders!

The ghost-faced man dodged deftly.

"Finally showed up, and finally let me wait..." Shang Yun's wild eyes were about to burst, his knuckles turned white, and he was calm and calm as usual: "It's been seven years, and you have been allowed to get away with it for seven full years. Now, Pay for our young master—kill him for me!"

The roaring fire shook the entire cliff, the Chen family and retail investors fled in panic, and the scene was in chaos.

The ghost-faced man—that is, Li Qiu dodged behind the rock as expected, dense bullets fell on his feet and sides, frantically trying to level the rock where he was.

Li Qiu took a deep breath, raised the pistol straight up, and blasted the cave wall above his head.They were originally underground, and the fragile roof of the cave continued to collapse after being hit, and large pieces of rubble fell down. The firepower of the Shang family had to temporarily stop.

However, just as the Shang family took a breath, Li Qiu walked out of the shelter and said loudly in an out-of-pitched voice: "Shang Yunkuang, this is the first time we've met, right? It's not your way to treat guests with swords and guns as soon as you come up." .”

Shang Yunkuang narrowed his eyes, stopped the guns raised by his subordinates, tightened the trigger himself, raised his head and fired.

But Li Qiu didn't dodge or dodge, as if he was sure that the shot would not hit him.Sure enough, the fired bullet exploded at Li Qiu's feet, splashing a thick layer of silt.

"I guess you must have something to ask me before you kill me." Li Qiu glanced at the crater at his feet and said, "It seems that I guessed right."

"No, you guessed wrong."

A second explosion occurred in the crater, and a puff of thick smoke rushed towards Li Qiu's face.Li Qiu frowned, but he still didn't dodge. He was confident that the blood in his body could dissolve this level of poisonous smoke.

After more than ten seconds, the deserted ghost face reappeared from the smoke.

The members of the Shang family turned pale with fright, only Shang Yunkuang maintained his composure with deep brows.

Li Qiu patted his shoulder: "It's so vicious, I didn't know that Shang Yunkuang, who was known for his kindness, actually has such a vicious side."

"you know me well?"

"The butler Yun, who was praised by the old man Shangwei as No. 1 in his family, is of course well known."

Shang Yunkuang didn't answer, but looked at Li Qiu's thin figure very carefully, as if he wanted to dig out some information he wanted to know from this person.

"What are you looking at?" Li Qiu sensed it sensitively, and smiled slightly: "Let me guess, the reason you observe me so carefully is to confirm whether the ghost-faced man in front of you broke into the world seven years ago. One of the robbers who entered Shang's house and intercepted the goods."

Shang Yunkuang didn't answer, but Li Qiu said exactly what was on his mind.

"Is it useful to look at it this way? In seven years, a teenager is enough to grow up, a young person is enough to grow old, and a person's body shape will change. Coupled with the appearance of camouflage, you can't find a few people after so many years, which is actually reasonable."

Shang Yunkuang heard the sound of loading the gun: "So, are you?"

"Me? It's a pity that I didn't participate in that conflict. It's just—" Li Qiu's next few words without emotion caused Shang Yunkuang's last trace of reason to be completely drowned out.

"It's just that the person who killed Shang Yanyu seven years ago was indeed me."

+ + +

Gunshots, roaring gunshots, almost overturned this gloomy underground world.

Shang Yanyu, the young master of the Shang family, was the only victim of the tragedy seven years ago.

As the leader of the Shang family in Beijing's antique industry, Shang Wei, the owner of the family, has two sons.The eldest son, Shang Feijie, has a decisive personality and great talent. He has been hailed as a talent since he was a child, and he is also the heir of the family appointed by Shang Wei.The youngest son, Shang Yanyu, is also talented and intelligent, but because of his younger age, weaker personality, and his mother's early death, he is not as sharp-edged as his elder brother.

There is no room for two heroes in one mountain. Between these two brothers, Shang Wei chose the eldest son without hesitation from the very beginning.Shang Feijie can be said to be a copy of Shang Wei, with the same talent and temperament as his father.In family meetings for a long period of time, Shang Wei deliberately brought his eldest son to show up, firstly to increase the knowledge of the eldest son, and secondly to let discerning people see his intentions.

In contrast, his younger brother Shang Yanyu is sensible, cute and approachable.Naturally, a domestic servant like Shang Yunkuang will be more familiar with the young master.It's just that the son is not like the father, so it is inevitable that there will be gossip. In addition, Shang Wei publicly values ​​​​the eldest son and lives under the aura of a genius brother. It is also reasonable for Shang Yanyu to be treated coldly at home.

The most important thing in a big family is worshiping the high and stepping down the low. An unfavorable young master, even Shang Wei's men dare to show him face.

Shang Yunkuang saw it in his eyes and felt distressed, but after thinking about it, Shang Yanyu has such a superior background, as long as he is obedient and obedient for the rest of his life, and does not compete with his brother for the limelight, he can live in wealth and carefree.Anyway, as long as people are alive, other things are not important, and there is no need to show up and face risks like Shang Feijie.

However, a sudden accident cruelly broke everything Shang Yunkuang imagined.

On that thunderstorm night, an organization wearing a ghost mask broke into Shang's house with a gun. First, they poisoned food and drink to paralyze everyone, robbed the town house's treasure of longevity, and shot and killed Shang Yanyu in the scuffle. Escape in the rainy night.

When the incident happened, Shang Yunkuang was dealing with a second-hand goods sale in Guangxi, and he rushed back like crazy when he got the news, but when he got home, he saw a pale mourning hall with black and white photos hanging on it.I heard that Shang Wei hadn't seen any visitors for many days, only the young master Shang Feijie stood at the door, presiding over the overall affairs of the family with red eyes.

Shang Yun fantasized that he had watched Shang Yanyu grow up since he was a child, watched him grow from a toddler to a handsome boy, and obediently called "Uncle Yun" after him.In the end, I didn't even see the child's last face, only white hair and black hair.

On the day of the burial, Shang Yunkuang took the initiative to ask for the coffin to be carried, which was inappropriate due to etiquette and regulations, but Shang Feijie still acquiesced.

From the moment the coffin was put into the tomb, there was no young master of the Shang family in this world, only the engraved hatred and endless regrets.
