Lin Chu was still confronting An Ru.
She is small and has a cute baby face, but the undisguised coldness in her eyes at the moment makes her look not as soft as the surface.
An Ru repeated again: "I am An Xingyu's father, and An Xingyu is my son."
The once sharp eyes were tired from running around day and night for many days, and his head was full of white hair when he was nearly half a century old. He stared at Lin Chu with those somewhat cloudy eyes: "You should know, I'm looking for you. What are you for?"
Of course Lin Chu knew it well, but... the mission must never be revealed.
She shook her head: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hey..." Anru let out a hoarse mocking laugh from his throat, "No, no, no, I know you, you are very smart, and you understand what I'm talking about." He slowly took out a gun from his pocket, looking crazy And calmly, "I advise you not to play tricks."
Lin Chu showed shock and anger: "How dare you?"
The muzzle of the gun was exposed a little, and then retracted, but An Ru's hand was still in the pocket, showing a little shape.
"Miss Lin, please come with me."
Lin Chu had no choice but to stand up: "Let me return the book first?"
"Yes, but don't do unnecessary small actions, such as calling the police or something."
Ever since his wife left him, Anru used tobacco and alcohol to numb himself day and night, and his voice became hoarse, but he didn't care at all: "Miss Lin, a father who lost his child, can do anything. It can be done."
Lin Chu's body froze slightly, and he had to take out his left hand that was in his pocket.
She picked up the books piled up on the table and walked towards the bookshelf step by step.
To put the books back to their original places, it is inevitable to observe the bookshelves. With his excellent memory, Lin Chu scanned and keenly found some abnormalities.
Why... some books are out of order?
"Please hurry up."
Lin Chu said, "Okay."
The bookshelves are divided by function and then sorted alphabetically.When Lin Chu put the last book in her hand, she tensed up.
After the last book was put in... the books on the row of bookshelves that she was looking at at the same level, the homonym of the first word is - you all go to die.
Is it a coincidence?
There's a book that should be on the other side of the back shelf, who put it here?
Lin Chu stretched out her hand and slowly took down the book. She wanted to put the book back on the opposite side.But... when she pulled out the book, she saw a red eye through the gap!That eye was staring at her fiercely!
Lin Chu stepped back abruptly, bumping his back against the bookshelf behind him, making a heavy sound.An Ru shouted: "Do you want to lure other people here? Don't play tricks with me!"
Lin Chu's chest rose and fell violently several times, and she said, "I didn't, I just saw it..."
Wait, what did I see?
Lin Chu shook her head, not understanding why she was so excited just now, she vaguely remembered what terrible thing she saw just now, she looked up at the bookshelf again, but she found nothing.
"What did you see?" Anru knew that his son's disappearance was related to some unnatural phenomena, and he refused to let go of any anomalies.
"It's nothing." Lin Chu shook his head, put the book back, "Let's go."
She also noted this abnormal phenomenon, logically speaking, she couldn't have heart palpitations for no reason.
So, why is her heart beating so fast?Must have seen something, but forgot.
what did she see?
The place An Ru and Yu Huaiyao agreed on was a private room in a hotel. Yu Huaiyao arrived very early. When An Ru took Lin Chu into the private room, he was holding a cup of hot water and waiting quietly.
"Hello, you are Mr. Anru, right? I'm Yu Huaiyao." Yu Huaiyao reached out to Anru, and after the latter shook hands with him, Yu Huaiyao turned to Lin Chu, "What's the name of this lady?"
"Her name is Lin Chu." An Ru's expression calmed down, and he no longer had the madness of holding others hostage just now, "My son An Xingyu and your cousin Yu Huan were both killed in the same case."
"This Ms. Lin Chu is the sixth person who disappeared in the case."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Huaiyao looked at Lin Chu with shock and inquiry.
Lin Chu was very calm.
An Xingyu's disappearance is barely her responsibility, but what does Yu Huan's death have to do with her?Anru wanted to deliberately guide Yu Huaiyao to think that it was related to him, which was a beautiful idea.
However, if you want to escape today, it will be a bit troublesome...
She knew that she could not escape the suspicion, and the task must not be disclosed to others.
The team in the cemetery didn't notice anything strange behind them, and they continued to move forward, following the "murals" to understand the story that happened.
I don't know how many years ago, in short, after the "King" passed away, people buried him and arranged the underground palace strictly according to his requirements. 60 years later, the mountain reversed, and the old people who still lived and remembered the "Wang" saw the "Wang" walking down from the back of the reversed mountain. Behind him were all the villagers who had been buried with him.He brought out many treasures and revitalized the once impoverished village.
Resurrection from the dead is a miracle!
Since then, this place has become their forbidden area.Everyone is no longer afraid of death, because they all know that it doesn't matter if they die. Every 60 years, the dead will be resurrected.
And what that "king" likes most is a jade pendant.
On the mural, the appearance of a jade pendant is clearly drawn, like two fish connected end to end, with a hollow in the middle.
It is exactly the same as the jade pendant hidden by Lu Yanli.
"No one knows where he took out that jade pendant. According to the memory of the old man back then, there was no such thing among the funeral objects."
Looking at the jade pendant, Lu Yanli finally remembered something.
There was pain in his mind, and the memory was surging. He wanted to remember those things, but the picture was blurred. He couldn't see, couldn't hear clearly, and couldn't remember...
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his head, enduring the pain like a needle prick, his fingers turned white with force, and almost pinched into the scalp, but he still endured it tenaciously, without crying out in pain.
What am I forgetting?
jade pendants...tombs...museums...
Outsiders, strange worlds...
Behind him, Yi Yun helped Lu Yanli who was almost collapsed, "What's wrong with you?"
The latter's chest rose and fell violently, and after taking a few deep breaths, he stood up straight and grabbed her wrist forcefully, his expression also changed, with an inexplicable bewitching look in his eyes: "Wake up, Yi Yun. "
"I..." Yi Yun and those eyes met each other, and suddenly began to daze.
"Close your eyes." His voice was gentler, "You are walking on a long road... When you hear a snap of your fingers, open your eyes and you will wake up..."
"three."
"two."
"one."
With a crisp "pop", Yi Yun, Wang Pengfei, and Jing Tao suddenly came back to their senses and looked around in surprise.
"We just now..." Yi Yun still remembered his dazed state before, Jing Tao tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to look at other people.
The leader was still explaining, but in the dark underground passage, his back fluttered like a flickering candle, and he couldn't see clearly.The faces of other people are also somewhat blurred.
And the frescoes on the walls... where are the frescoes?There are only dark and cold walls, piled up one after another with bricks and stones, and I don’t know how many years have passed to reconnect with people.
"By the way, jade pendant!" Yi Yun still remembered what he heard just now, "just now the jade pendant was drawn on the mural, and he also mentioned jade pendant, do you remember?"
"I heard that too. Shall we go back and have a look?" Wang Pengfei asked.
Yi Yun looked at the darkness behind him, but still shook his head: "Shouldn't be necessary, it's on the mural, and he also said that it's the belongings of the tomb owner. Perhaps, this jade pendant is in the main tomb. Let's go back It's no use either."
Jing Tao felt that what she said was very reasonable, and nodded: "Besides, all the lighting tools are in their hands now. If we leave rashly, it may be dangerous."
Even if this group of archaeologists looks abnormal now, getting together can somewhat dispel the fear in their hearts.
So they continued on.
"But then, everything changed."
"Our king, I'm tired..." The voice of the leading expert became erratic a little bit, and his title also changed, "He no longer wants to live forever, he hates the days he can only live in the mountains, he wants to go Look outside the mountain, but he can't leave."
"The same is true for the people in the mountains. They have been living in the mountains, self-sufficient, and have never seen the outside world. The population of the village is also increasing. Many people are getting tired of this kind of life. Finally, some people ignore the old people warning, and forcibly descended the mountain.”
"Unexpectedly, nothing happened to them, as long as they came back before the New Year's ancestor worship. Therefore, other people were also moved. However, the first group of people who went down the mountain, they were the youngest in the village. A group of people who have not experienced a single death. When those who have experienced reincarnation once descended from the mountain, terrible things happened..."
"In the back mountain, the evil spirit has come out!"
"The villagers were terrified, and immediately fled to the forbidden area. Many people died along the way. Our king protected them as he did many years ago. But they didn't know that the king wanted to leave too. But he couldn't leave."
"Once he leaves, the other him in the back mountain will be released immediately. At that time, his people will have no way out."
"This is the price of immortality..." At this point, the narrator's voice was choked with sobs.
"In the end, Wang simply fell into a deep sleep."
"Many villagers have learned to be smart. They go to other places to intermarry with outsiders, come back every year and holiday, and then calculate the time for their wives to give birth in other places. In this way, their children can at least live outside."
"However, there is a villager who leaked the secret, and he attracted many thieves who coveted the treasure..."
"Those people have guns and all kinds of weapons that you have never seen before. Everyone went to the forbidden area to seek refuge as before, but they didn't know that the king was asleep. It was useless for them to escape to the forbidden area..."
"The group of people left a few old and weak women and children behind, and asked them to lead the way when they went down to the tomb. They dug a hole in the center of the forbidden area and disturbed the king's sleep. Then, they all died..."
While talking, they passed a pile of bones.
It seems that the pile of bones has been placed for a long time, the clothes are rotten, many of them have been waxed, and the expression of horror can be vaguely seen on the face, and the death is not in peace.Some of them turned directly into white bones, obviously struggling.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying things they saw during their lifetime, and many years after their death, outsiders can still see their horror clearly.
Is it deterrence?Want them to leave quickly?
"Should we wake up the others?" Yi Yun always felt a little scared when he looked at the staff who looked like walking corpses around him.
Jing Tao also felt that it was necessary. If this continues, what will happen to this group of staff.
In the past, when I was doing tasks, I was confused by ghosts, and gradually I became a ghost myself. It is not uncommon.
Lu Yanli didn't care. After discussing with the three of them, they dispersed and tried to wake up the archaeologists.
"Wake up, wake up..."
When they got closer, they found that the bodies of the archaeologists exuded a icy breath, as if they had been blown by a cold wind.Yi Yun quietly approached an archaeologist who was far away from the team leader, pinched her hand hard, and whispered in her ear to wake her up.
Soon, the staff member's eyes gradually recovered, he shook his head, puzzled: "What happened to me just now?"
Yi Yun explained to her in a low voice, and she immediately realized that there was fear in her eyes.
Gradually, more and more people came to their senses.
They found that the routes they took were becoming more and more strange, unlike straight lines, sometimes they would turn into passages with extremely tricky angles, and sometimes they needed to go down stairs at almost seventy degrees.In the end, everyone came to their senses, followed the leader tacitly, and listened quietly to his story.
Yes, no one woke him up, even his teammates acquiesced to this approach.
In order to understand this tomb, in order to unearth the history, even if they knew something was wrong, no one chose to wake him up.
Everyone followed the man and walked through one tomb after another.
After they passed by, the doors of those tombs opened gently, and from inside, one after another corpses that had been dead for many years came out.
They are buried here and never see the light of day.
But now, they have been awakened.
If this group of people wants to turn back and go out, they will find that the way they came is blocked and they will never be able to escape.
They were trapped in this huge underground palace just like the villagers who were trapped in the mountains many years ago.
"Did you hear anything?" one of them asked softly.
From behind them, there was a very slight sound.
The light from the flashlight passed, but the light beam seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, making it impossible to see the distance clearly.
"I heard it too, and I always feel...as if something is catching up."
It's not an illusion, the voice behind is getting louder and getting closer.
It was the sound of footsteps.
It was the footsteps of many, many people.
The archaeologists walking at the end looked back in panic, but they couldn't see anything, and it was still darkness.
In the dark... what is it?
The light range of the lighting is limited, and even gradually shrinks. In the end, everyone is huddled and moving forward, and no one wants to fall into the dark area.
The leader was still talking, he was walking in the front, and no one had the courage to run in front of him to find out, so they could only follow his back all the way.
"...This group of tomb robbers killed many, many villagers and stole treasures, and they were also cursed. Hahahahahahaha, retribution...they must also bear the curse of the villagers, and they will never be able to leave... ..."
"But this group of cunning people tried their best to escape. They bought people from outside the village and prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere. Finally, they finally invited a group of Baojiaxians, and they stayed behind. It turns out that the last bit of blood in the villagers has allowed them to intermarry with each other. They will choose a girl and let that girl bear the burden..."
"They took on the curse of the original villagers and stole their longevity. They married the remaining women, and let their children bury the bodies of their dead accomplices in the forbidden area. The next generation has a common blood , so they can go in. However, the Baojiaxian they invited cannot set foot in the forbidden area, they can only wait... until the king disappears completely, and they can take all the treasures..."
Yi Yun and the others seemed to be listening to a story, even fascinated by it.Only Lu Yanli tensed his whole body, he knew that all of this was true.
Who is the ghost attached to the team leader?Why does it say everything?
Lu Yanli had no way of knowing.
The hand that was put in his pocket tightly clenched the two jade pendants wrapped together, Lu Yanli knew that he still had some doubts that he hadn't solved.
What he said just now was a jade pendant, which was kept next to the "Wang" all the time.So, where did the second one come from?
Also, since it has been kept close to the body, it must be buried close to the body after death.In the last mission, why did the villagers of Shangxian Village get it?Did they enter the main burial chamber?
Who took the jade pendant?
The voice in front gradually decreased, and the speed of the person walking in the front gradually slowed down.
His story is drawing to a close.
The light of the searchlights used by everyone for lighting also gradually faded, and the remaining power tried to maintain a slight light so that they would not fall into complete darkness.
At this time, the voices that were ignored behind him finally became denser.
It was the sound of footsteps after another, not only humans, but also various animals.
They even heard the sound of wheels rolling over the stone road, making the crisp sound of bronze objects beating each other.
Something is chasing after them!
"Teacher Cen, let's go..." Seeing that Captain Cen finally finished telling the story, the people behind him immediately stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder to wake him up.It was only after this shot that I realized that the touch of my hands was wrong.His hand didn't feel like patting on the shoulder of the human body, but... soft, as if patting a pile of bulging meat through the fabric.
Team Cen, who was at the forefront, fell straight down, limp into a puddle of rotten flesh lying on the ground, with his clothes scattered.On the pile of meat, there are eyes one after another, large and small, densely arranged like frog eggs, distributed on the meat, there are hundreds of them, watching everyone together.
"what--"
Even though the archaeologists are well-informed, they have never seen such a scene.The hundreds of black and white eyes crowded together and blinked.
"Run!"
At the same time, something behind him caught up.
The searchlight suddenly became extremely dazzling, allowing them to see the things behind them very clearly.
That was...all kinds of alienated corpses.
Simple waxing is a minority.Many corpses were separated, and four hands held their heads and followed slowly. Some were obviously human bones, but a long tailbone still extended from the back of the spine; The legendary half-snake man...
"Is this their curse? How could it be?"
"Where did these bones come from? We obviously didn't open any of the tombs just now."
It is useless to think about these problems now, they had to flee quickly, and a group of people ran forward in a hurry.
The road ahead was even more rugged, and the light of the searchlight was only bright for a moment, and then dimmed immediately, as if it was just to let them see clearly what was chasing behind them, so that they could fall into a state of fear.
Yi Yun and the others were also caught in the fleeing team and asked loudly, "Where are we going now? Are we going to the main tomb?"
"I don't know! Let's run first, we'll talk when we're safe." In the crowd, an unknown voice answered her.
Lu Yanli also ran along, and at the moment just now, he clearly heard a cold hissing sound like a snake spitting out a letter, and then, a figure behind him seemed to be wrapped around his waist by something, and he dragged it back forcefully .The man didn't even yell, and disappeared completely.
The person who ran at the end caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and was immediately frightened out of his wits, and continued to run forward desperately.
Not far behind him, the eyes, densely distributed like frog eggs on a pool of soft flesh, blinked and moved forward like flowing water.
They, absolutely do not become like this!
"Let's find a way to go to the main tomb now? Team Cen has already encountered a curse, and maybe we will also encounter a curse. Anyway, we are all going to die, so why not go to the main tomb!"
Now the person running at the front responded loudly: "Do you think I don't want to? I don't know which direction the main tomb is. There is only one road here, so let's run first."
As soon as they finished speaking, they hurried out from a long and narrow passage, and it suddenly became clear to them that there were two tall tomb chambers side by side, one on the left and one on the right. Cut from left to right, with a narrow passage in the middle.
They all stopped and gathered in front of the surface platform, a staircase for only one person extended down to the entrance of the passage.
"Why don't you go down?" the person behind asked anxiously.
"There's something weird down here."
As they spoke, the searchlight moved forward, and they could see clearly what the square on the ground looked like.
Different from the smooth and tight stone brick road outside, the surface of the square is raised, showing one after another horrific reliefs.
Those reliefs seem to be carvings of eighteen layers of hell. Surrounding the mountains and rivers, human beings are dying miserable one after another. Even in the dark, the reliefs can be seen to be lifelike, as if they can hear their wailing.
"Don't worry about the strangeness in the square, let's escape quickly."
"That's right! At least there's nothing chasing you in front, right?"
There was a lot of urging from behind.Immediately afterwards, a scream broke out.
The last female archaeologist was touched by the pile of flesh with eyes.Immediately afterwards, her whole body also melted, and she went limp little by little. The people around wanted to save her, but they couldn't do anything. One of them wanted to drag her out, and there was another scream, and he also endured the unknown pain. Curse, all the bones in my body seemed to be taken away, and they softened a little bit.
In the end, they turned into exactly the same soft meat, the new soft meat merged with the original one, and bubble-like things bulged out one after another on the pink skin.
The bubbles swelled more and more, and exploded with a "pop", turning into eyes one after another, blinking, looking at the humans ahead.
As a result, the archaeologists who were at the forefront had to walk down the stairs.
The stairs are very narrow, only less than half a meter wide.After the first person walked down the stairs, he carefully stepped on the narrow path in the center of the square.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened.
The team member was overjoyed, and immediately beckoned others to come down quickly, and quickly walked forward for a while to move places for others.
The stairs were too narrow, and the square was no more than half a meter high from the ground. One of them simply jumped off the edge of the ground, but as soon as he landed, dozens of pairs of arms stretched out from the ground of the square, and he couldn't even scream , was pulled into the ground.
No, he wasn't pulled in completely, he was pulled in half, his body was completely petrified, and the frightened expression on his face could be vaguely seen.
He also becomes part of the cameo.
"Be careful! You can only step on the middle road." The team members who followed him were heartbroken, and they still reminded them aloud.
No matter how impatient, everyone held back their temper and lined up to move forward.Several older team members voluntarily walked at the end, and one of them said, "I've lived so long, I've lived enough, I can't run anymore, why don't I give you young people a chance."
"Mr. Zhou, don't say that!"
"Go quickly." Teacher Zhou just smiled and pushed his students forward.Her student grabbed the latter and moved forward. When he was walking to the stairs, he found that the hand he was holding was suddenly empty.
Looking back, the latter has been dragged into the passage back to darkness.
The sides of the channel are tightened a little towards the middle.
Wiping her tears, she quickly walked down the stairs.Just after she caught up with the large army, the passageway for the team members to come was completely blocked, and the countless strange creatures that were chasing were also sealed inside, and it was unknown when they would escape again.
There is no turning back for them.
There are only a dozen or so archaeologists left, and with the four outsiders who broke in suddenly, there are no more than twenty people.
"Everyone knows the current situation. This ancient tomb is far more dangerous than we imagined. Maybe we can escape, or maybe everyone should stay here." One of the team members wiped away tears and said softly Say, "We're going to get out there anyway for the sake of our research. But we also have to prepare for the worst."
"We also brought tools with us, and there were a few relatively large blank sheets of paper. After we got out of the square, we first drew the map and filled in every point we walked. No matter who is lucky enough to go out, we must draw the map. Take it out."
The tragicness in her words infected the others, and the team members all had tears in their eyes and agreed to come down.
"For our research!"
"Yes, for research!"
Even though the missionaries were used to seeing life and death, they couldn't help being infected by their spirit. Wang Pengfei said: "Although we are not archaeologists, as long as we can go out, we will definitely take the map out."
They both conceal the fact that they can leave as long as they complete the task.
It would be good to give these archaeologists some hope.
"Okay, thank you," one of them said.
Lu Yanli didn't make a sound.
He has seen too many. After outsiders entered, they sacrificed their lives for their relatives and friends, and they were willing to sacrifice for the righteousness in their hearts. He has witnessed the best and ugliest aspects of human beings.But after death, they all turned into strange appearances.
Yi Yun also agreed, and she carefully probed: "Just now, Team Cen said that the jade pendant that Wang wears next to him is also on the mural. Could that thing be the key?"
"Maybe. Since it is carried close to the body, it may be buried with it. When we enter the main tomb, we may be able to solve the mystery."
The three taskers couldn't help being excited.
But, just when they were happy, a team member who was walking in front of Yi Yun didn't pay attention and stepped on the air.
Half of his foot fell off the road!
The relief was surging, and the relief standing closest to him was holding a crossbow in his hand, his fingertips were already resting on the organ, and when he let go, a sharp arrow was shot out.It pierced through his throat, and flew out with the whole person, landing in the center of the square.
One pale hand after another grabbed him, and after a while, there was another person on the relief on the ground. He reached out and grabbed the arrow that passed through his throat, with a painful expression on his face.
"Everyone be careful! Don't step out!"
The first person had already reached the end of the passage, supported his body carefully, jumped up, and landed on the ground.
Only by standing close to the tomb can you realize how tall it is.
The moment he stood up, the gates on both sides of the square on the ground seemed to open, and blood poured out.
"Quick! The ones in front hurry up!"
A large amount of smelly and viscous blood soon poured into the central path, and the people in front immediately rushed forward.Lu Yanli, Yi Yun and others were walking in the middle of the line. When the blood flooded, it happened to be Lu Yanli's turn. He jumped up immediately, fell to the ground, and then stretched out his hand to pull the next person up.
"what--"
A girl walking behind had blood on her feet, and she immediately screamed in pain.
"I can't go anymore! You guys go!"
Not knowing what was in the blood, she froze in place, her face contorted in pain.But she still remembered her mission, took off the backpack, threw it to the shore vigorously, and shouted: "There are blank scrolls and tools inside!"
As soon as the words fell, she fell down.
The others could only watch helplessly as those who hadn't come up were drowned in blood and disappeared.
She is small and has a cute baby face, but the undisguised coldness in her eyes at the moment makes her look not as soft as the surface.
An Ru repeated again: "I am An Xingyu's father, and An Xingyu is my son."
The once sharp eyes were tired from running around day and night for many days, and his head was full of white hair when he was nearly half a century old. He stared at Lin Chu with those somewhat cloudy eyes: "You should know, I'm looking for you. What are you for?"
Of course Lin Chu knew it well, but... the mission must never be revealed.
She shook her head: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hey..." Anru let out a hoarse mocking laugh from his throat, "No, no, no, I know you, you are very smart, and you understand what I'm talking about." He slowly took out a gun from his pocket, looking crazy And calmly, "I advise you not to play tricks."
Lin Chu showed shock and anger: "How dare you?"
The muzzle of the gun was exposed a little, and then retracted, but An Ru's hand was still in the pocket, showing a little shape.
"Miss Lin, please come with me."
Lin Chu had no choice but to stand up: "Let me return the book first?"
"Yes, but don't do unnecessary small actions, such as calling the police or something."
Ever since his wife left him, Anru used tobacco and alcohol to numb himself day and night, and his voice became hoarse, but he didn't care at all: "Miss Lin, a father who lost his child, can do anything. It can be done."
Lin Chu's body froze slightly, and he had to take out his left hand that was in his pocket.
She picked up the books piled up on the table and walked towards the bookshelf step by step.
To put the books back to their original places, it is inevitable to observe the bookshelves. With his excellent memory, Lin Chu scanned and keenly found some abnormalities.
Why... some books are out of order?
"Please hurry up."
Lin Chu said, "Okay."
The bookshelves are divided by function and then sorted alphabetically.When Lin Chu put the last book in her hand, she tensed up.
After the last book was put in... the books on the row of bookshelves that she was looking at at the same level, the homonym of the first word is - you all go to die.
Is it a coincidence?
There's a book that should be on the other side of the back shelf, who put it here?
Lin Chu stretched out her hand and slowly took down the book. She wanted to put the book back on the opposite side.But... when she pulled out the book, she saw a red eye through the gap!That eye was staring at her fiercely!
Lin Chu stepped back abruptly, bumping his back against the bookshelf behind him, making a heavy sound.An Ru shouted: "Do you want to lure other people here? Don't play tricks with me!"
Lin Chu's chest rose and fell violently several times, and she said, "I didn't, I just saw it..."
Wait, what did I see?
Lin Chu shook her head, not understanding why she was so excited just now, she vaguely remembered what terrible thing she saw just now, she looked up at the bookshelf again, but she found nothing.
"What did you see?" Anru knew that his son's disappearance was related to some unnatural phenomena, and he refused to let go of any anomalies.
"It's nothing." Lin Chu shook his head, put the book back, "Let's go."
She also noted this abnormal phenomenon, logically speaking, she couldn't have heart palpitations for no reason.
So, why is her heart beating so fast?Must have seen something, but forgot.
what did she see?
The place An Ru and Yu Huaiyao agreed on was a private room in a hotel. Yu Huaiyao arrived very early. When An Ru took Lin Chu into the private room, he was holding a cup of hot water and waiting quietly.
"Hello, you are Mr. Anru, right? I'm Yu Huaiyao." Yu Huaiyao reached out to Anru, and after the latter shook hands with him, Yu Huaiyao turned to Lin Chu, "What's the name of this lady?"
"Her name is Lin Chu." An Ru's expression calmed down, and he no longer had the madness of holding others hostage just now, "My son An Xingyu and your cousin Yu Huan were both killed in the same case."
"This Ms. Lin Chu is the sixth person who disappeared in the case."
As soon as the words fell, Yu Huaiyao looked at Lin Chu with shock and inquiry.
Lin Chu was very calm.
An Xingyu's disappearance is barely her responsibility, but what does Yu Huan's death have to do with her?Anru wanted to deliberately guide Yu Huaiyao to think that it was related to him, which was a beautiful idea.
However, if you want to escape today, it will be a bit troublesome...
She knew that she could not escape the suspicion, and the task must not be disclosed to others.
The team in the cemetery didn't notice anything strange behind them, and they continued to move forward, following the "murals" to understand the story that happened.
I don't know how many years ago, in short, after the "King" passed away, people buried him and arranged the underground palace strictly according to his requirements. 60 years later, the mountain reversed, and the old people who still lived and remembered the "Wang" saw the "Wang" walking down from the back of the reversed mountain. Behind him were all the villagers who had been buried with him.He brought out many treasures and revitalized the once impoverished village.
Resurrection from the dead is a miracle!
Since then, this place has become their forbidden area.Everyone is no longer afraid of death, because they all know that it doesn't matter if they die. Every 60 years, the dead will be resurrected.
And what that "king" likes most is a jade pendant.
On the mural, the appearance of a jade pendant is clearly drawn, like two fish connected end to end, with a hollow in the middle.
It is exactly the same as the jade pendant hidden by Lu Yanli.
"No one knows where he took out that jade pendant. According to the memory of the old man back then, there was no such thing among the funeral objects."
Looking at the jade pendant, Lu Yanli finally remembered something.
There was pain in his mind, and the memory was surging. He wanted to remember those things, but the picture was blurred. He couldn't see, couldn't hear clearly, and couldn't remember...
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his head, enduring the pain like a needle prick, his fingers turned white with force, and almost pinched into the scalp, but he still endured it tenaciously, without crying out in pain.
What am I forgetting?
jade pendants...tombs...museums...
Outsiders, strange worlds...
Behind him, Yi Yun helped Lu Yanli who was almost collapsed, "What's wrong with you?"
The latter's chest rose and fell violently, and after taking a few deep breaths, he stood up straight and grabbed her wrist forcefully, his expression also changed, with an inexplicable bewitching look in his eyes: "Wake up, Yi Yun. "
"I..." Yi Yun and those eyes met each other, and suddenly began to daze.
"Close your eyes." His voice was gentler, "You are walking on a long road... When you hear a snap of your fingers, open your eyes and you will wake up..."
"three."
"two."
"one."
With a crisp "pop", Yi Yun, Wang Pengfei, and Jing Tao suddenly came back to their senses and looked around in surprise.
"We just now..." Yi Yun still remembered his dazed state before, Jing Tao tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to look at other people.
The leader was still explaining, but in the dark underground passage, his back fluttered like a flickering candle, and he couldn't see clearly.The faces of other people are also somewhat blurred.
And the frescoes on the walls... where are the frescoes?There are only dark and cold walls, piled up one after another with bricks and stones, and I don’t know how many years have passed to reconnect with people.
"By the way, jade pendant!" Yi Yun still remembered what he heard just now, "just now the jade pendant was drawn on the mural, and he also mentioned jade pendant, do you remember?"
"I heard that too. Shall we go back and have a look?" Wang Pengfei asked.
Yi Yun looked at the darkness behind him, but still shook his head: "Shouldn't be necessary, it's on the mural, and he also said that it's the belongings of the tomb owner. Perhaps, this jade pendant is in the main tomb. Let's go back It's no use either."
Jing Tao felt that what she said was very reasonable, and nodded: "Besides, all the lighting tools are in their hands now. If we leave rashly, it may be dangerous."
Even if this group of archaeologists looks abnormal now, getting together can somewhat dispel the fear in their hearts.
So they continued on.
"But then, everything changed."
"Our king, I'm tired..." The voice of the leading expert became erratic a little bit, and his title also changed, "He no longer wants to live forever, he hates the days he can only live in the mountains, he wants to go Look outside the mountain, but he can't leave."
"The same is true for the people in the mountains. They have been living in the mountains, self-sufficient, and have never seen the outside world. The population of the village is also increasing. Many people are getting tired of this kind of life. Finally, some people ignore the old people warning, and forcibly descended the mountain.”
"Unexpectedly, nothing happened to them, as long as they came back before the New Year's ancestor worship. Therefore, other people were also moved. However, the first group of people who went down the mountain, they were the youngest in the village. A group of people who have not experienced a single death. When those who have experienced reincarnation once descended from the mountain, terrible things happened..."
"In the back mountain, the evil spirit has come out!"
"The villagers were terrified, and immediately fled to the forbidden area. Many people died along the way. Our king protected them as he did many years ago. But they didn't know that the king wanted to leave too. But he couldn't leave."
"Once he leaves, the other him in the back mountain will be released immediately. At that time, his people will have no way out."
"This is the price of immortality..." At this point, the narrator's voice was choked with sobs.
"In the end, Wang simply fell into a deep sleep."
"Many villagers have learned to be smart. They go to other places to intermarry with outsiders, come back every year and holiday, and then calculate the time for their wives to give birth in other places. In this way, their children can at least live outside."
"However, there is a villager who leaked the secret, and he attracted many thieves who coveted the treasure..."
"Those people have guns and all kinds of weapons that you have never seen before. Everyone went to the forbidden area to seek refuge as before, but they didn't know that the king was asleep. It was useless for them to escape to the forbidden area..."
"The group of people left a few old and weak women and children behind, and asked them to lead the way when they went down to the tomb. They dug a hole in the center of the forbidden area and disturbed the king's sleep. Then, they all died..."
While talking, they passed a pile of bones.
It seems that the pile of bones has been placed for a long time, the clothes are rotten, many of them have been waxed, and the expression of horror can be vaguely seen on the face, and the death is not in peace.Some of them turned directly into white bones, obviously struggling.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying things they saw during their lifetime, and many years after their death, outsiders can still see their horror clearly.
Is it deterrence?Want them to leave quickly?
"Should we wake up the others?" Yi Yun always felt a little scared when he looked at the staff who looked like walking corpses around him.
Jing Tao also felt that it was necessary. If this continues, what will happen to this group of staff.
In the past, when I was doing tasks, I was confused by ghosts, and gradually I became a ghost myself. It is not uncommon.
Lu Yanli didn't care. After discussing with the three of them, they dispersed and tried to wake up the archaeologists.
"Wake up, wake up..."
When they got closer, they found that the bodies of the archaeologists exuded a icy breath, as if they had been blown by a cold wind.Yi Yun quietly approached an archaeologist who was far away from the team leader, pinched her hand hard, and whispered in her ear to wake her up.
Soon, the staff member's eyes gradually recovered, he shook his head, puzzled: "What happened to me just now?"
Yi Yun explained to her in a low voice, and she immediately realized that there was fear in her eyes.
Gradually, more and more people came to their senses.
They found that the routes they took were becoming more and more strange, unlike straight lines, sometimes they would turn into passages with extremely tricky angles, and sometimes they needed to go down stairs at almost seventy degrees.In the end, everyone came to their senses, followed the leader tacitly, and listened quietly to his story.
Yes, no one woke him up, even his teammates acquiesced to this approach.
In order to understand this tomb, in order to unearth the history, even if they knew something was wrong, no one chose to wake him up.
Everyone followed the man and walked through one tomb after another.
After they passed by, the doors of those tombs opened gently, and from inside, one after another corpses that had been dead for many years came out.
They are buried here and never see the light of day.
But now, they have been awakened.
If this group of people wants to turn back and go out, they will find that the way they came is blocked and they will never be able to escape.
They were trapped in this huge underground palace just like the villagers who were trapped in the mountains many years ago.
"Did you hear anything?" one of them asked softly.
From behind them, there was a very slight sound.
The light from the flashlight passed, but the light beam seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, making it impossible to see the distance clearly.
"I heard it too, and I always feel...as if something is catching up."
It's not an illusion, the voice behind is getting louder and getting closer.
It was the sound of footsteps.
It was the footsteps of many, many people.
The archaeologists walking at the end looked back in panic, but they couldn't see anything, and it was still darkness.
In the dark... what is it?
The light range of the lighting is limited, and even gradually shrinks. In the end, everyone is huddled and moving forward, and no one wants to fall into the dark area.
The leader was still talking, he was walking in the front, and no one had the courage to run in front of him to find out, so they could only follow his back all the way.
"...This group of tomb robbers killed many, many villagers and stole treasures, and they were also cursed. Hahahahahahaha, retribution...they must also bear the curse of the villagers, and they will never be able to leave... ..."
"But this group of cunning people tried their best to escape. They bought people from outside the village and prayed to gods and Buddhas everywhere. Finally, they finally invited a group of Baojiaxians, and they stayed behind. It turns out that the last bit of blood in the villagers has allowed them to intermarry with each other. They will choose a girl and let that girl bear the burden..."
"They took on the curse of the original villagers and stole their longevity. They married the remaining women, and let their children bury the bodies of their dead accomplices in the forbidden area. The next generation has a common blood , so they can go in. However, the Baojiaxian they invited cannot set foot in the forbidden area, they can only wait... until the king disappears completely, and they can take all the treasures..."
Yi Yun and the others seemed to be listening to a story, even fascinated by it.Only Lu Yanli tensed his whole body, he knew that all of this was true.
Who is the ghost attached to the team leader?Why does it say everything?
Lu Yanli had no way of knowing.
The hand that was put in his pocket tightly clenched the two jade pendants wrapped together, Lu Yanli knew that he still had some doubts that he hadn't solved.
What he said just now was a jade pendant, which was kept next to the "Wang" all the time.So, where did the second one come from?
Also, since it has been kept close to the body, it must be buried close to the body after death.In the last mission, why did the villagers of Shangxian Village get it?Did they enter the main burial chamber?
Who took the jade pendant?
The voice in front gradually decreased, and the speed of the person walking in the front gradually slowed down.
His story is drawing to a close.
The light of the searchlights used by everyone for lighting also gradually faded, and the remaining power tried to maintain a slight light so that they would not fall into complete darkness.
At this time, the voices that were ignored behind him finally became denser.
It was the sound of footsteps after another, not only humans, but also various animals.
They even heard the sound of wheels rolling over the stone road, making the crisp sound of bronze objects beating each other.
Something is chasing after them!
"Teacher Cen, let's go..." Seeing that Captain Cen finally finished telling the story, the people behind him immediately stepped forward and patted the other person on the shoulder to wake him up.It was only after this shot that I realized that the touch of my hands was wrong.His hand didn't feel like patting on the shoulder of the human body, but... soft, as if patting a pile of bulging meat through the fabric.
Team Cen, who was at the forefront, fell straight down, limp into a puddle of rotten flesh lying on the ground, with his clothes scattered.On the pile of meat, there are eyes one after another, large and small, densely arranged like frog eggs, distributed on the meat, there are hundreds of them, watching everyone together.
"what--"
Even though the archaeologists are well-informed, they have never seen such a scene.The hundreds of black and white eyes crowded together and blinked.
"Run!"
At the same time, something behind him caught up.
The searchlight suddenly became extremely dazzling, allowing them to see the things behind them very clearly.
That was...all kinds of alienated corpses.
Simple waxing is a minority.Many corpses were separated, and four hands held their heads and followed slowly. Some were obviously human bones, but a long tailbone still extended from the back of the spine; The legendary half-snake man...
"Is this their curse? How could it be?"
"Where did these bones come from? We obviously didn't open any of the tombs just now."
It is useless to think about these problems now, they had to flee quickly, and a group of people ran forward in a hurry.
The road ahead was even more rugged, and the light of the searchlight was only bright for a moment, and then dimmed immediately, as if it was just to let them see clearly what was chasing behind them, so that they could fall into a state of fear.
Yi Yun and the others were also caught in the fleeing team and asked loudly, "Where are we going now? Are we going to the main tomb?"
"I don't know! Let's run first, we'll talk when we're safe." In the crowd, an unknown voice answered her.
Lu Yanli also ran along, and at the moment just now, he clearly heard a cold hissing sound like a snake spitting out a letter, and then, a figure behind him seemed to be wrapped around his waist by something, and he dragged it back forcefully .The man didn't even yell, and disappeared completely.
The person who ran at the end caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and was immediately frightened out of his wits, and continued to run forward desperately.
Not far behind him, the eyes, densely distributed like frog eggs on a pool of soft flesh, blinked and moved forward like flowing water.
They, absolutely do not become like this!
"Let's find a way to go to the main tomb now? Team Cen has already encountered a curse, and maybe we will also encounter a curse. Anyway, we are all going to die, so why not go to the main tomb!"
Now the person running at the front responded loudly: "Do you think I don't want to? I don't know which direction the main tomb is. There is only one road here, so let's run first."
As soon as they finished speaking, they hurried out from a long and narrow passage, and it suddenly became clear to them that there were two tall tomb chambers side by side, one on the left and one on the right. Cut from left to right, with a narrow passage in the middle.
They all stopped and gathered in front of the surface platform, a staircase for only one person extended down to the entrance of the passage.
"Why don't you go down?" the person behind asked anxiously.
"There's something weird down here."
As they spoke, the searchlight moved forward, and they could see clearly what the square on the ground looked like.
Different from the smooth and tight stone brick road outside, the surface of the square is raised, showing one after another horrific reliefs.
Those reliefs seem to be carvings of eighteen layers of hell. Surrounding the mountains and rivers, human beings are dying miserable one after another. Even in the dark, the reliefs can be seen to be lifelike, as if they can hear their wailing.
"Don't worry about the strangeness in the square, let's escape quickly."
"That's right! At least there's nothing chasing you in front, right?"
There was a lot of urging from behind.Immediately afterwards, a scream broke out.
The last female archaeologist was touched by the pile of flesh with eyes.Immediately afterwards, her whole body also melted, and she went limp little by little. The people around wanted to save her, but they couldn't do anything. One of them wanted to drag her out, and there was another scream, and he also endured the unknown pain. Curse, all the bones in my body seemed to be taken away, and they softened a little bit.
In the end, they turned into exactly the same soft meat, the new soft meat merged with the original one, and bubble-like things bulged out one after another on the pink skin.
The bubbles swelled more and more, and exploded with a "pop", turning into eyes one after another, blinking, looking at the humans ahead.
As a result, the archaeologists who were at the forefront had to walk down the stairs.
The stairs are very narrow, only less than half a meter wide.After the first person walked down the stairs, he carefully stepped on the narrow path in the center of the square.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened.
The team member was overjoyed, and immediately beckoned others to come down quickly, and quickly walked forward for a while to move places for others.
The stairs were too narrow, and the square was no more than half a meter high from the ground. One of them simply jumped off the edge of the ground, but as soon as he landed, dozens of pairs of arms stretched out from the ground of the square, and he couldn't even scream , was pulled into the ground.
No, he wasn't pulled in completely, he was pulled in half, his body was completely petrified, and the frightened expression on his face could be vaguely seen.
He also becomes part of the cameo.
"Be careful! You can only step on the middle road." The team members who followed him were heartbroken, and they still reminded them aloud.
No matter how impatient, everyone held back their temper and lined up to move forward.Several older team members voluntarily walked at the end, and one of them said, "I've lived so long, I've lived enough, I can't run anymore, why don't I give you young people a chance."
"Mr. Zhou, don't say that!"
"Go quickly." Teacher Zhou just smiled and pushed his students forward.Her student grabbed the latter and moved forward. When he was walking to the stairs, he found that the hand he was holding was suddenly empty.
Looking back, the latter has been dragged into the passage back to darkness.
The sides of the channel are tightened a little towards the middle.
Wiping her tears, she quickly walked down the stairs.Just after she caught up with the large army, the passageway for the team members to come was completely blocked, and the countless strange creatures that were chasing were also sealed inside, and it was unknown when they would escape again.
There is no turning back for them.
There are only a dozen or so archaeologists left, and with the four outsiders who broke in suddenly, there are no more than twenty people.
"Everyone knows the current situation. This ancient tomb is far more dangerous than we imagined. Maybe we can escape, or maybe everyone should stay here." One of the team members wiped away tears and said softly Say, "We're going to get out there anyway for the sake of our research. But we also have to prepare for the worst."
"We also brought tools with us, and there were a few relatively large blank sheets of paper. After we got out of the square, we first drew the map and filled in every point we walked. No matter who is lucky enough to go out, we must draw the map. Take it out."
The tragicness in her words infected the others, and the team members all had tears in their eyes and agreed to come down.
"For our research!"
"Yes, for research!"
Even though the missionaries were used to seeing life and death, they couldn't help being infected by their spirit. Wang Pengfei said: "Although we are not archaeologists, as long as we can go out, we will definitely take the map out."
They both conceal the fact that they can leave as long as they complete the task.
It would be good to give these archaeologists some hope.
"Okay, thank you," one of them said.
Lu Yanli didn't make a sound.
He has seen too many. After outsiders entered, they sacrificed their lives for their relatives and friends, and they were willing to sacrifice for the righteousness in their hearts. He has witnessed the best and ugliest aspects of human beings.But after death, they all turned into strange appearances.
Yi Yun also agreed, and she carefully probed: "Just now, Team Cen said that the jade pendant that Wang wears next to him is also on the mural. Could that thing be the key?"
"Maybe. Since it is carried close to the body, it may be buried with it. When we enter the main tomb, we may be able to solve the mystery."
The three taskers couldn't help being excited.
But, just when they were happy, a team member who was walking in front of Yi Yun didn't pay attention and stepped on the air.
Half of his foot fell off the road!
The relief was surging, and the relief standing closest to him was holding a crossbow in his hand, his fingertips were already resting on the organ, and when he let go, a sharp arrow was shot out.It pierced through his throat, and flew out with the whole person, landing in the center of the square.
One pale hand after another grabbed him, and after a while, there was another person on the relief on the ground. He reached out and grabbed the arrow that passed through his throat, with a painful expression on his face.
"Everyone be careful! Don't step out!"
The first person had already reached the end of the passage, supported his body carefully, jumped up, and landed on the ground.
Only by standing close to the tomb can you realize how tall it is.
The moment he stood up, the gates on both sides of the square on the ground seemed to open, and blood poured out.
"Quick! The ones in front hurry up!"
A large amount of smelly and viscous blood soon poured into the central path, and the people in front immediately rushed forward.Lu Yanli, Yi Yun and others were walking in the middle of the line. When the blood flooded, it happened to be Lu Yanli's turn. He jumped up immediately, fell to the ground, and then stretched out his hand to pull the next person up.
"what--"
A girl walking behind had blood on her feet, and she immediately screamed in pain.
"I can't go anymore! You guys go!"
Not knowing what was in the blood, she froze in place, her face contorted in pain.But she still remembered her mission, took off the backpack, threw it to the shore vigorously, and shouted: "There are blank scrolls and tools inside!"
As soon as the words fell, she fell down.
The others could only watch helplessly as those who hadn't come up were drowned in blood and disappeared.
