Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

I understand that Shen Er has no principles, and he is very good at talking nonsense.

Back then, he mistakenly regarded a word in my name as the king of the bastard tortoise. He refused to admit that he had misjudged his eyes, and he just made up a story about the arrogance of a king. The wrong name was just a mistake. Wrong, I haven't changed my words so far.

It's just that I didn't expect him to be a little careless, and he didn't forget to drag me down into the muddy water as a companion.

I shook my eyebrows, I was a little angry, probably because I just woke up with low blood pressure, and my tone was not very polite: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Wang, I'm a writer, not a locksmith. I See if you have messed with some big shots like this. Could it be the underworld? You know that our family is poor and white, and I am the only child. I dare not go into this kind of trouble. There are people in your family, so there is no way to ask your father for help. Bar!"

After I finished speaking, I was about to hang up the phone, but Shen Er cried out anxiously: "Grandpa Wang, ah! Xiao Wang, listen to me! If you don't come today, my life will be ruined! Besides, these people What you are looking for is actually your father, I am the innocent victim!"

I don't know if Shen Er jumped the wall in a hurry and talked nonsense.When he said this, with my character, of course I couldn't just sit idly by. If what he said was true, it would mean that he was implicated in our family's affairs.

I thought about it for a while, and it seemed that I had to wade through this muddy water, so I said, "Why are they looking for my father?"

"How do I know! Brother Wang, you want to save me...!"

The son of a rich family is like this. He is usually domineering and straight, but he is actually a paper tiger.Shen Er started talking nonsense when he was in a hurry, and he said "Brother Wang" so loudly that I almost spit out what I just ate.

I was afraid that the Queen Mother would call out after a while, so I hurriedly said, "Okay, don't cry like a little girl, give me the address, and I'll come right away!"

I copied down the address, took my coat, and I dug out the ancient saber my dad gave me the year before and hid it in the coat.This is a subconscious move. If you really want to copy a guy, it will definitely not work to count on the tricks and embroidered legs I learned in the summer vacation. But with a weapon on you, you always have a sustenance in your heart, and you won’t be completely passive in case of a situation. .

Then I went downstairs and called a taxi and went straight to my destination.

Shen Erbiao's version of the second generation ancestor, usually neither serious nor serious, is also a troublemaker, so it is very possible to accidentally get involved in the underworld.But after thinking about it, if Shen Er wasn't talking nonsense, and those people really came after me, then this matter would not be easy.

In my grandfather's words, our family could have been peaceful and peaceful, but my father is a restless master, and he doesn't like this kind of ordinaryness.

I was thinking about it, but I didn't notice that the driver was so awesome, and he reached the door of the bar with half a cigarette.

The bar was on a secluded alley, and the signboard at the door was flashing purple-red neon lights.

In this dim light, two sturdy foreigners came towards my car, as if they were waiting for me at the door early in the morning.

They took me into a private room, and immediately people flocked up and searched me, groping me all over my body.I had hoped that the ancient saber hidden in my coat would give me courage, but it was looted before it even appeared.

Don't mention how upset I am.Damn, the city management has never seen such a robbery, how can this knife be considered an antique!

At this moment, a gaze suddenly came from the room, like an unknown wind blowing into my neck.

In fact, at this moment, everyone in the private room is looking at me, but I haven't felt that look before, and it only became stronger after the saber was found.I couldn't tell what it was like, but I felt as if someone was staring straight at me when I was naked, and a chill came up from the soles of my feet.

I immediately turned my head to look and saw a person sitting in the corner.

The others were all sitting on the sofa in a bunch, or they were standing at the door as the gatekeeper, but that person was sitting alone on the side and looked very out of group. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice that there was anyone there.

It's a pity that only one decorative ceiling light was lit in the entire private room, and that location was just in a blind spot, and the corner was pitch black. I couldn't see what that person looked like, and I couldn't be sure if the gaze just now belonged to him.

Because the moment I looked up, that gaze had disappeared.

There were about ten people in the private room, six of them sat on the sofa, I saw Shen Er curled up next to those six people, face down as if passed out, no wonder it was so quiet.Judging by the aura, I reckon that nine out of ten of these people belong to the underworld, and even if they are not, they will not go anywhere.

Since they treated Shen Er like this, they might also treat me like this. Now that they have no weapons in their hands, they couldn't help but feel a little scared, but they managed to pretend to be calm and said, "I'm here, what do you want?"

Your grandpa, why is this line so awkward.

Among the six people, the only man in a suit sitting in the middle glanced at me, and the man in a white coat next to him immediately got up knowingly, bent down and put a square box on the coffee table with the velvet under it. Cloth pushed towards me together.At the same time, I was pushed by a few tough men and fell to the coffee table.

The man in the white coat said with a smile: "This little brother said that you know how to open this lock box. We have no other intentions. We just hope that you can help us open this box." He smoked a pipe with his mouth in his mouth. Take a sip and spray it on my face, "As long as you can open it, we can give you whatever benefits you want."

I thought to myself, will you give me this box?

Shen Er has already said that this box is the red sandalwood box mentioned in his ancestral notes.I lowered my head and took a look. The light was too dim, and I couldn’t see the patterns on the wooden box clearly. I could only see that it was a cube with six equal edges. It was as big as a palm, and the color was dull, as if it had been painted with light-absorbing paint, so black that it didn’t shine out. A little shine.

Because I have heard the background of this wooden box, and know that it is related to a prince in the late Ming Dynasty, Shen Qianjiu’s subsequent series of secret actions are inseparable from the contents of this wooden box, I couldn’t help being a little curious, and wanted to pick it up Take a closer look.

As soon as I reached out, the man in the white coat stopped me: "What tools do you need, we will prepare them for you."

I won't let you touch it, are you going to let me "open the box"?

I looked at this person's figure, and I was definitely at a disadvantage if I put in all my strength, and I would have collapsed if I hit him with that physique.Now is not the time to compete, I can't be a fat man even if my body is stretched to death, I'd better look at the situation honestly and think of a way.

Even a principled person, when it is a last resort, the principle must be put aside first.

So I obediently said: "I don't know this kind of stuff very well, so I might not be able to open it. ——Shen Er said on the phone, is it my father you are looking for?"

I thought, divert their attention first, and see if they can get away with it.

The expressions on the faces of the people on the sofa suddenly turned ugly. The man in the white coat looked back at the man in the suit in the middle, as if asking for instructions.The man in the suit glanced at me, and he didn't know what he was laughing at. That expression made people feel uncomfortable.

He didn't speak, but the man in the white coat had already turned his head: "We originally wanted to ask your father to help us open this box, but his whereabouts are uncertain, we can't find him for a while, you are the second choice. Your father's A friend told us that you helped him open the lock box before."

I said in my heart, TNND, it seems that I can't get along.Dad didn't know what kind of cronies he made, and he didn't know what kind of relationship he had with these people.

When I was a child, I had a hobby, that is, I liked to disassemble things. The clocks and electrical appliances at home, everything I could touch, could be dismantled.

When I was a child, I just took it apart, but I didn’t know how to put it back on, because it often caused grandpa and dad to quarrel with each other. Grandpa thought I was talented, but dad thought I was purely active and playful.I agree with Dad rationally, but my sensibility makes me stand on Grandpa's side.

At that time, my grandfather held my little hand, pointed at my father, and said, "Don't you yourself play some strange and unskillful things? Why are you not allowed to play with clocks and watches? You look down on the ancestral heritage handed down by our ancestors, you Do you think these crafts are just like a watch repairman playing with embroidery needles? Well, you take care of your broken bottles and crockpots, God knows who found them out of the pit. Xiaoyu is my grandson, I will teach it myself!"

Grandpa is a watchmaker. It is his hobby to study ancient mechanical locks and ingenious tricks. He taught me all the tricks in this area.

For a long time when I was a child, I lived at my grandfather’s house, soaking in the world of small and delicate metal gears day and night, and time passed quietly on the dial.As long as Grandpa sits on the workbench, I will move a high stool and sit on the side, and I can watch it all day.

However, I don't remember helping any of my father's friends to open any trick boxes.I recalled it carefully, but still can't remember anything.

And this group of people obviously have [-]% or [-]% confidence, thinking that I know how to crack the mechanism box, which is really flattering me.

I was circling in my mind whether there was any way to delay the attack, and pointed to the wooden box on the coffee table: "Well, let me take a closer look first, the trick box is ever-changing, and I have a little understanding of the method of cracking it, but can this trick box be opened?" , I can’t guarantee it until I have studied it.”

The man in the white coat asked the man in the suit for instructions, and then handed me the red sandalwood box with the flannelette under it.

I was lowering my head to look at the box, and suddenly I felt that kind of cold and disturbing gaze appeared again!

I was stunned, and quietly looked out of the corner of my eye, the person sitting in the corner walked around behind me and had already reached the door of the private room.I smelled a faint, indescribable fragrance drifting past me. The fragrance was so peculiar that it was hard to describe what kind of thing it was emitting from.

The man in the white coat stretched his neck and shouted at the man, "Hey, where are you going?"

The man didn't answer.When I turned my head to look at the door, the man had already pushed the door open and walked out. The door was automatically closed again because of the spring mechanism, and I didn't even look behind him.

"Damn, how many times have I warned him not to act alone, he really can do whatever the hell he wants!" The man in the white coat was very puzzled, and strode to the door to chase him out.

The man in the suit on the sofa put his legs up and changed his position, lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry about him, this kid is used to being alone, if he cares too much, we'll be in trouble."

The man in the suit exhaled a smoke ring, and with a smile on his face that he couldn't explain what it meant, he looked at me and said, "Mr. Li, we have hired 28 lockpickers to open this mechanism box, but I hope you can do it." Open my eyes."

Although this man is smiling, his gaze is like a viper hiding in the depths of the jungle. When I was stared at so slightly by him, I couldn't help but feel my heart tighten. Looking at the unconscious Shen Er on the sofa, I always feel that now You can't back down, or you'll miss something.

I gritted my teeth, lowered my head and began to study the wooden box in my hand.
