Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

I'm starting to feel like something's not quite right.

Censer usually does not show such intense emotions, but his obvious anxiety shows that the situation is already very critical, and even he can't control it.

I kicked a few times in the water, trying to swim closer to the incense burner. At this moment, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the water, and a large area of ​​white flowers seemed to form a bubble wall between me and the incense burner.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped swimming.The number of bubbles is increasing, and the area is getting larger and larger, and soon we are completely surrounded by these bubbles!

When encountering any abnormalities in the water, the body's reaction will be much slower, but the sense of fear is several times that of on land.

Seeing these bubbles just makes people feel uncomfortable, as if something unclean is going to get in through the pores of the skin!

I subconsciously looked down. Directly below us, the river bed gradually extended to darkness. At this time, there were a lot of green and faint things floating, like algae.And these algae danced and swayed in the water like tentacles, entangled with black objects that couldn't be seen clearly.

The "black object" is not a whole, but many, "they" are tightly entangled by algae, like a struggling and howling evil spirit from hell, trying to get rid of its shackles.And "they" should have grown many "hands" like withered vines, desperately getting out of the gaps in the algae!

I was so frightened that I hurriedly pedaled my feet hard, trying to swim to the surface of the water, but when I looked up, the originally bright white water surface was gradually covered by some black things, slowly blocking the light.

I took a deep breath and spewed out countless bubbles.

The incense burner held me back and pointed to the passages embedded in the rock wall.

What he meant was that there were things on the water surface, so they couldn't go upstream, and now they could only escape in those passages.

Only then did I understand what he meant by shaking his head just now, probably because he had already discovered that the situation in the water was not good and asked me to evacuate as soon as possible, but I just stood there dumbfounded.

Now the situation has changed drastically, and those "things" are spreading in the water at an alarming speed, as if a large amount of ink is poured into the water to blacken the entire river.It's just that I know that those are definitely not ink, but alive!

I didn't bother to think too much, and hurriedly swam into the passage according to the meaning of the incense burner.

There are many artificial passages in the rock wall, and the incense burner swam behind me, so I didn't have time to ask his advice, and swam towards the passage closest to me.

The incense burner also caught up slowly, and we drilled into a passage together, which was very deep, and we didn’t know where it would lead. catch up.

I kicked my legs a few times, and suddenly felt that something was entangled in my ankles. An amazing force pulled my legs and dragged me backwards!

Fortunately, the incense burner also grabbed my clothes at the same time, so that I was not dragged out of the passage all at once.

I looked back, and there were several black vines clutching my ankles. At first glance, it looked like this, but after a second look, I found that those "vines" were bluish-purple, and there were sticks on the pointed ends. Slender fingers with mucous membranes!

I have seen these things in King Ming's tomb, so now that I see them, I immediately know what "they" are.

This is a "ghoul" raised with corpse water for a hundred years, also called "gluttony"!

But how could there be such a thing here? !

I was so scared that my heart twitched, and I kicked my legs irrationally in fear, trying to shake off those tentacles.But they seem to be sticky, firmly stuck to my ankle!

In a panic, I was terribly frightened, so I desperately waved my arms and struggled. Unexpectedly, the oxygen delivery tube connected to the mask came loose and fell down!

Soon the seamless and non-drilling water flowed into the mask and poured into my throat at once, and the tingling sensation seemed to be many sharp claws scratching my neck!Because of the sudden lack of oxygen, I choked on the water again, dancing with anxiety, feeling that I would soon drown in the water!

My mind is already in chaos, and the suffocation feeling of being on the verge of drowning fills the whole brain, and I feel like I am gradually falling into the drowsy darkness in pain.

Suddenly, a burst of fresh breath flowed into my mouth, with a warm current like a spring breeze.

I opened my eyes and saw that the incense burner was holding my head and infusing me with oxygen in a "mouth-to-mouth" way.

Slowly, the painful feeling subsided, the incense burner opened its mouth, frowned at me and nodded, then pulled out the oxygen delivery tube on his mask and inserted it into my mouth.

My oxygen tank had already fallen to the bottom of the passage because of the struggle just now. He asked me to hold his oxygen tank, and then he crawled along my body to my heels.

Under such circumstances, I have to admire the veteran of the incense burner. He didn't panic at all, he crawled to my feet, took out a biotite stone knife, and cut off those tentacles with one blow.

I saw the tentacles spray out a lot of green viscous liquid, shrinking back, but in the blink of an eye, they rushed towards us again!

The incense burner pushed me in, the tentacles flew into the air, and then wrapped around the arm of the incense burner.

Originally, the incense burner had no trouble dealing with these tentacles, but unexpectedly, many tentacles came in from outside the passage and wrapped around the waist and legs of the incense burner.In the blink of an eye, it's like he's turned into a marionette, covered in those disgusting tentacles!

He didn't have an oxygen tank, and his neck was strangled by those entangled tentacles. He spouted a few mouthfuls of air bubbles and choked on a lot of water.I thought the situation was not good, and for some reason at this time, I forgot my fear and kicked my legs to swim to the incense burner.

But when I swam in front of him, he pushed me away again, and at the same time some tentacles rushed towards me again. I retreated subconsciously. Those tentacles came towards my neck. I quickly dodged, accidentally, and the rest The oxygen cylinder also fell!

The incense burner reached out and pointed into the passage. He meant that I should leave him alone and swim into the passage.I shut my mouth tightly, shook my head vigorously, and reached out to pull him.But he pushed me away again, those tentacles dragged him out, and in the blink of an eye, he was far away from me again.

If I can speak, I can't wait to yell at you. Damn it, what kind of humility should I show to Laozi at this time? If you die like this, will I feel better!Damn it, can't you obediently obey me once!

I was so anxious that I wanted to curse, but I couldn't.Feeling bewildered and confused, seeing that the incense burner was about to be dragged out of the passage, he couldn't escape, so he just kept chasing him and swimming out.

Maybe everyone who sees here will think that my brain has gone crazy, and my thinking is contrary to ordinary people, but my subconscious mind at that time was to take back the incense burner from those tentacles!

While I was swimming, I reached out to grab him, only thinking that we must be together, if he dies here, then I don't want to live anymore!If you want to die, everyone will die together!

In that situation, I was angry and anxious, grabbed the arm of the incense burner, told him these emotions with expressions, and expressed my firm attitude that I would not leave him and run away if I was killed.

He looked at me with a flickering expression in his eyes. In a hurry, I didn't see clearly what kind of expression it was. His whole body was already bound by tentacles, and I saw the knife on his back, and my heart skipped a beat. Heck, I was desperate anyway, I pulled out the pure white long knife and slashed at those tentacles.

The incense burner said it was a ghost-slaying knife, and the "taotie" was a ghoul. I think the ghost-slaying knife must have an effect on this kind of monster.

And after those tentacles were torn apart, they did not rush up again immediately.

However, due to the lack of oxygen, the incense burner fought fiercely with those tentacles for a long time just now. I saw that his face was full of suffocating pain, and I don't know how long he can last.

My mind was in a mess, but in the chaos, I dragged the incense burner and swam desperately into the passage.

In this way, I swam to the exit of the channel, surfaced, and dragged the incense burner ashore.

At that time, I was not in the mood to care about where we were, and the incense burner was already in a half-conscious state. I dragged him ashore, threw away the luggage, and went to check how he was doing right away.

His face was completely drowning, and I only had some theoretical knowledge of first aid, and I had never really rescued a drowning person. I only took off his diving suit, thinking that this would make his lungs less oppressed. Everything else is chaotic and directionless!

I was terrified and flustered in my heart, and while feeling chaotic like a pot of burnt porridge, I frantically pressed on his chest. When I wanted to do artificial respiration again, I remembered that if the posture was wrong, it might lead to drowning. Immediate death.

With this thought in mind, he dared not make a move.

I couldn't help trembling with fear, but I stared at him in a daze. Although I knew I had to do something now, my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of anything!

In the end, I didn’t know why I hugged him and held him in my arms. My body couldn’t help shaking because of the cold and fear, but I hugged him tightly. It seemed that I subconsciously felt that doing so would keep the incense burner body temperature.

"Censer... don't die..."

Compared with that time in the coffin of King Ming's tomb, now I am more afraid that he will not wake up, this feeling has been several times stronger in eight months.

Let me go from being afraid of him to starting to be afraid of losing him.

I don't know if it was because of the illusion caused by the extreme panic, but at this moment, I heard a ethereal bell ringing.

I hugged the incense burner blankly, and nothing happening around me could attract my attention, but I heard this ringing alone, lingering in my ears.

In this way, the clear and pleasant bell sounded from far to near, until it reached in front of me, and I saw the blue silk and satin hanging down on the ground, giving it a heavy and elegant feeling.Looking up along the hem of the skirt, there was actually a young woman in ancient costume standing there, holding a red lantern, with a neat bun and a small golden bell tied on it.

The woman's face is pale, but her facial features are beautiful and beautiful, so although in that dim environment, I think this kind of woman with long hair and plain clothes must be a ghost appearing here, but looking at her does not feel scary.

"He's dying." The woman's voice was also calm and gentle.

I trembled all over, hugged the incense burner tightly, and let his head lean against my neck, against his already very cool skin and hair.

In a trance, I said: "...If he dies, I will die with him." (Afterwards, when I calmed down, I didn't want to admit that such vulgar words came from my mouth!)

"Is he very important to you?" the woman asked.

"Hmm..." I nodded vigorously, but my voice was so hoarse and choked that I couldn't even recognize myself. "Although I can't explain how important it is, I would rather die myself than him!"

I looked up at the woman in front of me, feeling a little wary: "Who are you? Do you want our lives, or..."

Maybe it's a desperate hopelessness that engenders a sliver of hope alongside the brink of death.

I actually hope that this woman can find a way to save the incense burner, even if there is any exchange condition.

The woman looked at us expressionlessly, and I felt that she seemed to understand my thoughts.

She knelt down and reached out to me, and I saw two pills in her palm, one white and one black.

"The black one is poison, and the white one is a life-saving elixir."

I stared blankly at the two pills, then at her.

She smiled, and the smile didn't feel ghostly, but it made people feel gentle and dignified. In my opinion, at least it looked like a normal person compared to the incense burner.

She is asking me to choose, or she is testing me. In short, in front of these two pills, only one of me and the incense burner can survive.

Anyway, there was no way out, so I didn't think much about it, I took the elixir for the incense burner, and I swallowed the poison myself.

If I hadn't been clear-headed and knew that such absurd things as traveling through time and space back to ancient times would never happen, the woman's dress in front of me really gave me a feeling of time-space confusion, and she stood there so truly.

The pills melt in the mouth and are odorless and tasteless.

The woman turned and gestured to me to follow her, and then she walked slowly into the darkness.

Only then did I notice that this was by the lake, but it was not the reed lake before, but a lake in the garden that was used for viewing in the courtyards of ancient rich families.

There is a bamboo forest by the lake, and the woman is walking towards the path in the bamboo forest.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do next, and the incense burner was unconscious. Without his guidance right now, I had to make my own decision.

And I think, instead of staying here and waiting to die, it is better to take one step at a time, even if it is a ghost gate, you have to go through it to know whether it is bad or good.

So, I dragged the incense burner on my back and followed the woman in a strange dress into the bamboo forest with him on my back.
