[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

"Are we about to reach the underground palace? Why is there still light in this underground palace? Could it be...is there someone else here?" Xiaonian asked extremely nervously from behind.

"You...do you think the person here could be a human?" Another soldier beside him replied in a low voice.

"Don't guess, go and have a look first." Zhang Qishan interrupted the conversation between the two in a deep voice, and then went to the entrance of the cave with Zhang Qiling in front of him to observe the situation.

After a while, Zhang Qiling made a gesture, and Nan Xing nodded to the rest of the team, motioning for everyone to follow.

When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I found that this is not an underground palace, but an underground cavity with a height of more than ten meters.

In the center of the cavity, some tools such as tables, chairs, bed benches are simply built with wood, which seems to be a rest station.

The light source in the cavity comes from a rectangular object hanging from the ceiling, emitting a faint blue halo in the dark underground space.

A group of people looked up at the objects on the top of the cave, Xiaonian asked Zhang Qiling from the side: "Brother Zhang, is this a coffin? Jade, or crystal? Why is it such a weird color?"

Zhang Qiling, who was recognized as the eldest brother for no reason, did not answer Xiaonian's words, but just checked attentively.

This transparent coffin, which looks like jade and crystal, is extremely smooth and translucent. There is a layer of milky white as thin as a cicada's wing on the outside, and the inside gradually turns blue. , This is a rare jade coffin.

Seeing that Zhang Qiling didn't intend to talk to him, Xiaonian turned to look at Nan Xing.

He also found out along the way that the two most powerful people in the team seemed to have only left a valve core on Nan Xing, and all the words came out of her, "Sister Zhang, what do you think?"

Sister Zhang has never been called this name in the style of a street pimp matchmaker in two lifetimes, so she subconsciously blocked these three words.

Xiao Nian turned his head and pondered for a while in distress, and suddenly realized: "Zhang Er..."

Adjutant Zhang couldn't stand listening anymore, so he came over and patted Xiaonian on the shoulder, "Your eldest brother Zhang and second sister Zhang are busy and can't hear you, don't worry, they will come to the conclusion directly when they are done."

Xiaonian showed an enlightened expression, and stepped aside.

The jade coffin was hung too high, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly with the help of its own faint light.

Nan Xing turned on the flashlight and shone on the coffin.

As soon as the light hit the crystal coffin, Nan Xing found an unusually tall shadow of a human body reflected inside.

Describing it as a shadow of a human body is actually not particularly accurate, because this figure seems to have more than a dozen arms, and the whole body is also very wide, but it is difficult to judge what it is from the shape, or those extra shadows are funerary objects.

Nan Xing was also a little puzzled, so he raised his head and asked Zhang Qiling: "The traditional burial custom is about burying in the ground. However, due to the differences in customs and customs in different regions, there are also other burial methods besides burial, but the purpose is the same. They all want to die. In this sense, hanging coffin burial is as common as burial, cremation and other burials.

However, even the hanging coffins are set up on the cliffs facing the river, and the burial utensils are mainly boat-shaped coffins and canoe-style coffins dug from whole wood. A world, but has not left the environment of mountains and rivers during his lifetime, and will still stay with his family and future generations, and bless them with prosperity.

The hanging coffin is suspended in an underground cavity, which really does not conform to any rules in Feng Shui.And..." Nan Xing said, the flashlight shone on a corner of the jade coffin and stopped.

I saw blood-like red in the crystal clear light of the jade in the corner.

At this time, other people were able to see the blood-soaked plaque through the light of the flashlight, and Xiao Nian asked nervously from the side: "Blood...how can there be blood in this coffin?"

Nan Xing looked back at Xiaonian, and finally answered his question: "It's not blood, it's blood."

Blood Qin is a kind of jade color.

Many substances, under certain conditions, can penetrate into jade.Different substances have different colors, and after entering the jade, various colors are formed in the jade.And the year of infiltration is different, the position that can be reached and the state of formation are also different.

Xueqin is made of bones, red paint, wood, etc. After soaking in, it will form blood-like spots on the jade. It takes at least 700 years to reach this state.

That is to say, the jade coffin was not hung in mid-air from the beginning, but was hung up after being placed in an environment with soil and lime red paint for at least 700 years.

After listening to Nan Xing's explanation, Xiao Nian turned even paler, "This... who would come here to hang a coffin so high?"

click-

Although it was only a slight sound, it seemed extremely abrupt in this silent underground space.

Everyone looked up at the direction where the sound came from - the jade coffin hanging from the ceiling of the cave.

Zhang Qishan asked a soldier beside him to take out the flare gun, loaded a flare, adjusted the range, and fired it upwards.

The flare drew a shining arc, and finally hung on a bunch of exposed tree roots on the cave wall. At this moment, the entire cavity was illuminated with white light, and everyone could see the entire jade coffin clearly.

I saw several cracks appeared on the body of the coffin at some point, and the scarlet marks on it seemed to bleed at any time.

Zhang Qiling's gaze was fixed, and he turned around and said, "Everyone retreat to the entrance of the cave."

Although the others went in without knowing it, they all knew in their hearts that they must listen to what this man said, so they retreated to the entrance of the cave as quickly as possible.

Zhang Qiling yelled "Nan Xing!"

"Here we come!" Nan Xing then took a few steps to run up, and jumped up to the stone wall opposite Zhang Qiling with a triple jump.

At the same time, there was a loud shattering sound from the jade coffin, and all the bones inside fell off. At the same time, black-haired snakes that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl shot out from inside!

Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing jumped from both ends of the stone wall into the air at the same time, drew their knives with their backhands, and turned their bodies in the air. Wherever they went, the black-haired snakes were sliced ​​into two and fell to the ground.

The two landed at the same time and walked towards the direction where the bones fell.

When he got closer, he realized that what was contained in the jade coffin was not a corpse with more than a dozen hands, but eight underage children.

They were all wearing robes from the Republic of China period.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a unique style of the Zhang family.

Nan Xing suddenly noticed something, and quickly checked the hands of these corpses.

Without exception, they all have longer fingers than ordinary people.

The corpse is in a shriveled state, surrounded by jumping blue flames - this is a will-o'-the-wisp. The Zhang family has a special constitution, and the content of trace elements in the body is also different from that of ordinary people. After death, the gas released by the corpse is formed. It is also different.

"These should be children who went out to the wild and failed to return." Nan Xing squatted beside one of the corpses, and gently lifted the somewhat long sleeves.

An extremely deep cut appeared shockingly in front of Nan Xing, faintly revealing the shriveled skin and white wrist bones.

The wound suddenly came alive in front of Nan Xing's eyes. The thin wrists were cut open in front of her eyes, and bright red blood flowed out. Looking up from the wound, countless bloodless pale faces looked desperately Leaning towards her, "Help us! Please, save us—"

She reached out to grab their thin arms, but in the next moment they were all swallowed up by the dark vortex.

Immediately afterwards, a young but tall young man appeared in front of her, and she ran towards him.

At this time, I saw someone cut the boy's palm open.

She ran over to stop her, but at this time the boy also turned his head, his eyes looking at her were as calm as the surface of a calm lake.

A hand patted her shoulder lightly, "What's wrong with you?"

Nan Xing suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head, and saw Zhang Qiling behind him. After seeing her abnormally pale face, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were as deep as water.

"Brother, they were killed by blood sampling." Nan Xing said hoarsely.

Zhang Qiling nodded silently, his eyes still fixed on her eyes.

Nan Xing hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said slowly in a voice that only Zhang Qiling could hear: "I seem... to remember something."

"Is it related to blood collection?"

Nan Xing took a deep breath, and his clear and stern eyebrows opened in front of his eyes, which overlapped with the boy in his memory: "Although I have understood before that when we were adopted when we were young, we almost existed as blood collection tools. But When I really think about it, I still..."

Zhang Qiling lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, a slight movement from the depths of the hole at the other end entered the eardrums of both of them at the same time.

Nan Xing paused for a moment, raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiling, at the same time, the rustling sound coming from the entrance of the cave became more and more obvious.

The author has something to say:

Little Xingxing is about to unlock all memories, brother, hurry up!
