Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

When I entered the tomb, I stood three or five steps away from the incense burner, not daring to get too close to him.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this person, but he specially asked me to come in while leaving others outside, I always feel a little strange in my heart.

Unexpectedly, the incense burner stepped towards me in two steps, grabbed my arm and dragged me to him.

I was so frightened by his actions that I wanted to retreat subconsciously, but I saw that the eyes of the incense burner seemed to be staring at the root of my ear.

I was startled, thinking there was something behind me, so I hurriedly turned around to look.At this time, the incense burner reached out to touch my collar at a very fast speed.A coldness passed over the back of my neck, I shrank my neck reflexively, and the incense burner had already retracted my hand.

Seeing that his hand was clenched, as if he was holding something in his palm, I couldn't help touching the back of my neck, and said anxiously: "You...what did you touch just now?"

"You stand here and don't move." The incense burner said lightly, then turned and walked towards the corner next to the entrance of the tomb.

I stood still and felt agitated, Zhang Rui and the others also looked at us with puzzled faces outside.

The incense burner was squatting by the corner, not knowing what it was doing. Time passed by, and no one dared to act rashly. This kind of atmosphere made people feel inexplicably anxious, and I had the feeling that a female ghost would come out to me at any time. I felt like dying, but the incense burner told me not to move, and I didn't know what to do.

After about a cigarette, Caopitou couldn't help it: "Master, what's going on, don't keep working alone, it makes us panic."

Someone raised his head, and the white coat said resentfully: "Master, it's not that we don't trust you. Last time you did the same thing. You asked us to stay outside. In the end, none of the five people who went in with you came out, and you were the only one who lived." It's down. We don't suspect you or anything, but in this fight, everyone's life is hanging on the wire. Although you promised to let us deal with this failure, I still don't agree with your way of doing things. , Don’t play tricks with us, whether you are on the same boat or not, please express your opinion, we have already arrived here, you are a veteran, and you know the rules.”

Last time in the bar, the white coat showed that he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the incense burner was not social, and he also complained a lot on the way in, which made my ears grow calluses.

I can also see that the white coat likes to be refreshed, and the attitude of the incense burner being so silent and unable to ask a word after a blow will definitely make the white coat feel abnormally tight in the chest.

In fact, his words are not unreasonable. The incident of the fight affects the whole body, and I understand the many taboos and concerns in it.

I remembered what Zhang Rui said to me when he was in the tunnel. There is indeed such a jargon in this industry.

"Everything has a spirit, the worst thing is the human heart."

Tomb robbers are not afraid of the evil spirit rice dumplings, what they are afraid of is the uneven distribution of spoils and the harm of allies.So all experienced veterans, it is said that sometimes they would rather work alone than in a gang.

And from the words in the white coat, I also heard that the incense burner and them are not in the same group, but a cooperative relationship.

A month ago when they came to this ancient tomb, there had obviously been some conflicts, and many people died.But if they want to successfully steal what they want, they must be able to do without the expert of the incense burner, so they had to reluctantly reach a new agreement.On the surface is trust, but secretly guards against suspicion.

As for why the incense burner should partner with them, I don't know.Maybe no matter how powerful he is, there are things in this tomb that he can't do alone.

This also made me feel that the future is dangerous. I don't know if I will have the chance to see Shen Er again.Thinking of this, I feel a little depressed.

The incense burner was still squatting in the corner, with its back facing us, and said: "I said, we will not be on the same boat with you, but I promise you, I will be responsible to the end."

He didn't seem to like to talk too much, and after a word passed by, he didn't say a word again.

The white coat was obviously out of breath and wanted to rush into the tomb, but Zhang Rui stopped him with his hands.

The atmosphere was very tense for a while, I looked at Zhang Rui, Zhang Rui didn't make a sound, and he was also a guy with deep water in his belly, hiding but not showing.

I don't want to stand on either side of them, but I actually have a faint preference for Zhang Rui's side in my heart.

It's a pity that Zhang Rui didn't make a statement, and I became a headless chicken.

Suddenly, the incense burner let out an "ah" and quickly retreated from the corner.Seeing this outside, the white coat and turf head were shocked: "What's wrong?!"

The white coat was about to come in with a gun, and the incense burner said: "Oops, I accidentally activated the mechanism here."

He spoke this sentence so smoothly and confidently that it sounded like a joke.And the surprised expression on his face was a little unnatural.

The white coat was stunned for a while, and stopped at the door of the tomb, showing disbelief that the incense burner would make such a low-level mistake, shock mixed with suspicion.

We didn't have time to think about it. Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the door of the tomb, and the entrance was quickly closed, shutting them out in white coats.

No, it should be said that the incense burner and I were locked inside.

2.

All of a sudden it became pitch black. My first reaction was to tighten my body and not dare to move around. I held my breath and concentrated on listening to what was going on around me.

I heard light footsteps approaching me, followed by the sound of the incense burner: "Drop the oil bottle, turn on the lamp."

"Oh!"

I don't know why it should be so smooth, and I just remembered that I have a flashlight in my hand.

Because he was suddenly plunged into darkness, he felt very uneasy, so he raised the flashlight in a panic and turned on the switch.

Damn, when the light is on, it's not as dark as before.

I turned on the flashlight, and a beam of light came out, and I saw a pale and bloodless face floating in the dark void not far from me.

In the boundless darkness, that face is real, with a pair of empty and lifeless eyes, like two completely blackened ink spots on the drawing paper, so dark that you can't see the bottom, but it arouses people's daydream.

I screamed in fright, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment. The flashlight also dropped by my feet, and I rolled out.

The pale face was now a little closer, and he lowered his head.Only then did I see clearly that there was a person there, squatting down to pick up the flashlight.

That person is actually the incense burner.

I swallowed my saliva, opened my mouth with "um" and "ah", and made some incomprehensible sounds.Suddenly remembered that I saw the black figure standing on the other side of the river in the tunnel before, compared with the figure in the darkness in front of me, maybe it was the incense burner, a cool air spread from the back to the neck, I was so frightened that my eyes were dizzy and I dared not move .

Although the incense burner turned his back and took the flashlight to shine on the wall of the tomb, he seemed to have eyes behind him, and he could see my fear of him, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm a human, not a ghost."

His voice was heard in the closed tomb, it was so weak that it was indescribable, and it was really not very convincing.I swallowed again, and said to myself, Lord, I am afraid of you even if you are human!

However, after thinking about it, in fact, the kind of thinking I just thought seems impolite to a person.

I calmed down, the incense burner didn't seem to need my help anyway, so I simply sat on the ground to relax my two legs that were tired all the way.If it weren't for this being a tomb, I really want to lie on the ground with my eyes closed in a big font, and ignore everything.

I was idly watching the incense burner walking back and forth along the wall, his shadow really looked like a ghost floating around in the dim light, and it was a prankster.

Because I found that no matter whether the mechanism of the tomb was touched or we were locked in the tomb, he acted as if nothing had happened. Even the surprised expressions of Zhang Rui and others just now, in retrospect, I think it was a kind of prank.

If a person behaves irrationally and abnormally, there must be a reason.

Seeing the abnormal calmness of this man, I asked smartly: "You don't seem to be worried about not being able to get out at all."

The incense burner made no sound.

"Did you go to this tomb when you came in last time?"

The incense burner still ignored me.

I said reluctantly: "I don't know what will happen to them outside, will they touch the mechanism in the tomb passage at the same time?"

The incense burner finally turned the flashlight on me, and I was overjoyed.

He said: "It's safe outside. There are no traps in the tomb passage here. You don't have to worry about them."

I nod.While nodding, he suddenly thought of another question that made his hair stand on end!

The incense burner only says that it is safe outside, but what about inside?He said he told me not to worry about them, so is there something else to say?

This kind of plot often appears in ghost stories. A human-like companion is by your side and tells you something that sounds innocent, but when you think about it carefully, you feel that there is something in the words, and the more you think about it, the more you feel nervous.

Then I remembered some doubts about the incense burner.

I don't know who the incense burner is, I don't know him, and Zhang Rui and the others don't seem to know him either.To be precise, he is alone, an individual excluded from Zhang Rui's group.

He knows the ancient tomb very well and can come and go freely.

One person can deal with tens of thousands of zongzi, and can catch the bone-eating golden lice, which can only be found in corpse caves, and are extremely poisonous and extremely difficult to catch. I used to think that these were not things that humans could do.

Also, he appeared too calm in this tomb, which was contrary to common sense.

In addition, there is a strange fragrance on my body, I don't know what effect it has.

Thinking about it, what the white coat said not long ago inexplicably popped out of his mind, all the people who followed the incense burner into the tomb were dead, and he was the only one who came out alive.

I wondered if those people were all killed by the incense burner?

I couldn't help but shivered, and found that some things could be matched!

What can fragrances be used for?

Many people put on perfume to cover up the inherent body odor of the human body. Foreigners have very strong body odor, so they like strong perfume smell.

The skin color of the incense burner is not like a normal person, the body temperature is very low, and there is a strange fragrance on his body.

And this scent may be used to cover up the rancid smell that is difficult to get rid of...

The white coat said that he was the only one who could lead the way here, and he really seemed to know everything about this place and was familiar with the road. He didn't have a flashlight, which meant that he came in completely in the dark.Only a man who knows well can do this, and only a man who built this tomb knows so well.

This ancient tomb should have been built hundreds of years ago, and the person who built it has long been reduced to ashes.

I took a deep breath, couldn't think any more, stared at the back of the incense burner, and tried to calmly say: "Now there are only the two of us here, I think you are lying when you said that you accidentally bumped into the mechanism, In fact, you deliberately triggered the mechanism to close the door of the tomb, right? Why did you isolate me from them?"

"Let's see, I've lived for 24 years, which is enough. After entering this ancient tomb, I thought that the possibility of getting out is very small. Anyway, it's just a matter of stretching my legs. I'm a bachelor, it's nothing The things I care about, I have been unrestrained and unrestrained for 24 years, but I am always suspicious here, I think I will go crazy if I continue like this, it is better to die more clearly."

The incense burner turned around and looked at me.

My body was trembling uncontrollably, my hands were clenched tightly together, my teeth were chattering, and I breathed in but not out.

However, I still said the words word by word: "You are actually a ghost living here, if you come to claim your life, don't spend it with me, I don't think you are willing to be a ghost Yes, maybe you have your reasons. Brother Ghost, I just ask you to be quick, lest I become a ghost and come to you for revenge."

Maybe it was the atmosphere in the tomb that drove me crazy, but what usually sounds ridiculous is not surprising at all.

Most of the day passed, and one cigarette should be finished, but the incense burner did not speak.

He just looked at me with empty eyes, which made me feel cold all over, as if I had become a corpse soaked in formalin.

I stared at him tremblingly: "Hey, you should make a noise. If it is really a ghost, I will recognize it. It is said that female ghosts need to absorb the essence of adult men to cultivate into demons, but you look like a man." , I don't know what you... want?"

"I did this to save you." The incense burner finally spoke.With a blank expression on his face, he said something that made Lao Tzu's hair stand on end, "Among the three of them, one is fake."
