[Tomb Raiders Notes] Play to the depths, enter the venue by yourself

listen to yourself tell the story of the past

When Wu Xie climbed onto the platform where the end of the stalagmite was without any danger, the old itchy asked Wu Xie to check the surroundings repeatedly, and he was ready to come when there was nothing unusual. The old itchy took a deep breath, and tied the flashlight to his hand He climbed up the rope carefully after checking the knot on the other side again. He climbed very fast and reached the middle of the rope in a short while. Voice.

The two of them froze at the same time, and Lao Xie gave Wu Xie a look of horror,

Wu Xie immediately turned her head to look, and felt a thump in her heart—a crack appeared on the stalagmite.

Zhang Yan looked at the man in white who was exactly the same as him, but obviously colder and more indifferent, then looked down at his "grey" clothes, and laughed softly. , His body was dirty when he came, and he took off his coat.

Looking at the man in white, Zhang Yan couldn't feel the slightest hostility in his heart. Instead, he was a little kind. He thought of a lot in his heart and sighed. "Friendly: "What should I call you?"

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the person in front of him tried to return a good-hearted smile, but found that the smile was too stiff, so he had to give up after not smiling, and stumbled to the point of "I... "Keep yourself" tried his best to finish this passage gently and not coldly, subconsciously regained his original indifferent expression, and slightly turned sideways to signal Zhang Yan to follow him.

Zhang Yan smiled helplessly, this temperament...really resembles his appearance when he was just bound to that thing...

Looking at this person who was more like his former self, he silently followed with nostalgia and exploration in his heart, and he knew when he came to this world.

But what happened to make him forget?Zhang Yan who followed behind "Zhang Yan" fell into deep thought.

The two of them walked silently all the way into the center where the roots were entwined, and then entered a small hollow. This is the place where the roots are relatively sparse in the whole root pack. "Zhang Yan" silently pointed to the root entanglement. In the middle of the hollow that came out, the person was as tall as a person, and with a strange smile, he looked at the giant bronze tripod with thunder cloud patterns and snakes in front of their multi-armed snake head statue, "The mechanism is here"

Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to turn on the switch, but looked in front of the statue, "Is this a statue of a sacrificial wizard?"

"Zhang Yan" nodded silently, followed by a glance at the statue without any emotion, then continued to focus on Zhang Yan, "I... I should wait, the time is coming"

time?Zhang Yan was a little puzzled, but still nodded, went to the giant cauldron and knocked on it. After a brief inspection, he grabbed one ear of the giant cauldron and turned the whole tripod 180 degrees, only a few clicks were heard. , a secret passage appeared in front of the statue and the giant tripod. At this time, "Zhang Yan" pointed to the secret passage, and said to Zhang Yan, "I'll wait for you below," and then disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing figure, Zhang Yan stepped forward and looked down the secret passage, and found that the inside was filled with fog, but there was a faint yellowish light shining out. He sighed, and jumped in directly.

As soon as Zhang Yan landed on the ground, he saw the huge glazed yellow amber cocoon hanging in the center of this bronze space surrounded by dozens of iron chains. The bronze surface with cloud and thunder patterns, only the ground directly below the corpse cocoon is a piece of equal length and width, a yellowish oval translucent plate similar to a glazed surface of unknown material.

And "Zhang Yan" is sitting cross-legged on the futon next to the end of the oval board, waiting for him.

Seeing Zhang Yan approaching, "Zhang Yan" pointed to the open space opposite him, motioning for him to sit down too.

Zhang Yan smiled helplessly, walked to the other end pointed by "Zhang Yan", took out the futon in the backpack that was exactly the same as that under "Zhang Yan" and sat down cross-legged, "You seem to know my current situation, then you can tell me What's going on with you here?"

"Zhang Yan" nodded, and after organizing the language, he said, "According to the ontology, that is, the situation you have analyzed, this place was originally a trap constructed by combining special bronze and spiritual power in the age of mythology."

Zhang Yan thought about the vague content of the original work, and frowned, "To hunt Zhu Jiuyin?"

"Zhang Yan" glanced at Zhang Yan with a slightly puzzled expression, a little puzzled how he, who had obviously forgotten that part of the body, knew, but thought that he was only a short memory of the other party after all, and there was always something he didn't know, so he just Nodding lightly, "Zhu Jiuyin has a glance, which can build a powerful spiritual illusion. Ordinary people will be pulled into it to face the deepest darkness and fear in their hearts, but success and failure are also Xiao He. People at that time used Zhu Jiuyin to create a powerful spiritual illusion. With spiritual sensitivity, I cast this bronze tree that can blur the boundary between reality and illusion, and then use the blood sacrifice to exert spiritual will here, so that Zhu Jiuyin will mistake the attractive things perceived by the spirit as real, and thus be lured up , and was killed"

"What happened later?" Zhang Yan asked with great interest.

"Later, with the use of this countless sacrificial and trapping activities, the influence of the spiritual power contained in the tree itself became stronger and stronger, and the quantitative change produced a qualitative change. Those people discovered that there had been a change here. Things become more and more simple as they become reality, and after some auxiliary means, it seems that this place can truly turn virtual into reality, becoming an independent and eternal world, where groups of people wantonly sacrifice, expand their power, and increase hunting. Zhu Jiuyin refines oil to satisfy all the desires in the heart and live forever, even turning people into monsters."

"But in fact, what's fake is fake. After all, it's just a dream, isn't it? Then what happened to those people?"

"Zhang Yan" looked at the corpse cocoon, and said indifferently and plainly, "Fulfill your wish and live forever with the tree"

The corners of Zhang Yan's mouth twitched, what he said...was level! As expected of me!

Seeing the cracked milkstone, Wu Xie immediately turned his head and shouted: "Climb quickly! This place can't stand it anymore!"

Without Wu Xie's reminder, the old itch has spontaneously accelerated and crawled forward, but the single-strand rope is too thin, very scratchy, and has a certain degree of elasticity. Every time you take a step, there will be very violent shaking. How does the old itch crawl? He couldn't climb fast either, and even because the rope shook too much, the end of the milkstone made a long and clear cracking sound again. Wu Xie became anxious, and rushed forward to grab the rope, trying to reduce the force on the milkstone and let it No longer continue to break, and at the same time urge the old itch to speed up, but unfortunately when pulling too hard, the milk stone on this side has not broken yet, and the part near the opposite end of the rope has already broken by itself. With a crisp sound, the copper The knot on the other side of the tree was broken, and the old itchy drew a big arc like swinging on a swing, and hit the cliff on one side so hard that the rope was almost unsteady, Wu Xie hurriedly wanted to pull the old itchy up, but the milkstone hanging here finally broke. Wu Xie dragged the old itchy up with great difficulty by pulling the rope. The rock wall was suddenly covered with that kind of human face mask, moving towards each other, while making all the noises, slowly surrounded the two of them like a tide.At first glance, it looks like countless people are sticking to the wall and looking down at them.

Wu Xie regretted immediately and wanted to slap herself. He only thought that there might be something on the bronze tree, but why didn't he think that there might be something on the rock wall?

But now it was too late to regret these things, a black shadow like a big hand fell from the sky, and grabbed his face all of a sudden, Wu Xie's eyes went dark, and he couldn't see anything.I just felt a few fluffy things go straight into his mouth.

In a panic, Wu Xie hurried to break off the mask, clenching his teeth at the same time to prevent the thing from coming in, and then he broke it, and the mask fell off by itself, so he quickly threw it out, but it happened that he was throwing it at the old man. On Tickle's buttocks, Old Tickle yelled, and hurriedly smashed it down with the butt of his gun.

Just as Wu Xie let out a sigh of relief, when he turned his head, another four or five Chi Gu jumped onto his head, making him tremble in fright, and raised his hand to shoot four times, but it didn't work at all, and a dozen more rushed out all at once. come over.

Wu Xie and Lao Xie backed up and fired at the same time, but the situation didn't improve at all. Chi Gu surrounded them like a tide, and when they turned their heads, they saw that the surrounding rock walls were already covered with such things, and they were fighting each other. When touched, there are strange and inexplicable sounds in the ears for a while, which makes people have a splitting headache. If one is distracted, a few will jump up and rush straight to the person's face. If you are not careful, you may be hit.

In the end, Lao Xie grabbed the torch that Wu Xie had stuck on the side and swiped at the Chi Gu, but the Chi Gu just retreated a little, then evaded and rushed forward, unable to care about it at all, "I have no more moves! Let's fight!" the old man Tickle yelled and smashed wildly with his beater, "What the hell, why didn't these things last time I came here!"

Wu Xie looked at these things and trembled in his heart. These Chi Gu do not have much attack power, but there are too many of them, and they are protected by hard masks, so it is difficult to kill them completely. Moreover, these Chi Gu have only reproduced for thousands of years. It is unimaginable how many such things the ancients made in order to protect the copper tree that survived.

Lao Xie threw off the Chi Gu on his body again, thinking of coming to Wu Xie, but when he looked up at Wu Xie, he suddenly froze, and shouted: "Old Wu, what's the matter with you?"

Wu Xie saw that Lao Tiao stayed there, and several masks crawled on his shoulders into the clothes on his face, and hurriedly shouted: "What's going on! Be careful!"

It was only when Lao Tiao came to his senses that he hurriedly slapped the Chi Gu off his shoulder, and then said to Wu Xie, "Old Wu, I said you——didn't notice it? This is wrong!"

"What's wrong!" Wu Xie pulled him over and shouted impatiently: "When is it, let the fart go!"

"Look at you, you don't have a mask on you! Why don't they climb on you! Impossible!"

At this time, Zhang Yan was still sitting opposite each other leisurely, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, as if he was chatting leisurely with his friends, "Why did these ancient people have to hunt Zhu Jiuyin?"

"Peeling and refining oil can gain strength. The oil is resistant to burning. After being made into an ever-burning lamp, illusions can emerge as you wish. At the same time, it can enhance spiritual strength and prolong life."

Zhang Yan smacked his lips, no wonder he was so keen on hunting Zhu Jiuyin. After he almost knew what was going on here, he looked at "Zhang Yan" curiously, and asked, "What's the situation with you? Could it be that I wanted to kill Zhu Jiuyin too, Then sabotaged and branded you on a tree?"

For the first time, helplessness appeared in "Zhang Yan"'s eyes, and he gently returned to "I am you who wanted to avoid punishment, trying to leave a small memory for you to come back to do things, and also to guard this place during your absence."

He sighed, "However, the time you really came back would be so late. In fact, I had already disappeared hundreds of years ago. If it wasn't for this coincidence that I was touched by the person who came with you, and you were by my side, I would It doesn't exist now"

"When you kept me, you agreed to keep me for 20 years. You are late..."
