Tomb Raiders

Chapter 45

The three of them discussed it, and now Wenhao and Hanzhang are still missing. If the tomb passage leads to the end and there is no side fork, then it is possible for the two of them to move forward and backward. In this way, they can only act separately to find someone. Then join again.

Qin Zhaonan looked at Chu Yuyang and the two sadly, "Isn't it obvious that I was the only one left alone?"

Chu Yuyang was unmoved, and said coldly: "If you feel lonely, you can take Qing Qi with you in the future."

Qin Zhaonan smiled noncommittally, and said: "Look at your appearance, you can't wait to hide him, compare your heart with your heart, how can you give me such a cruel suggestion."

Chu Yuyang didn't bother to pay any attention to him, and pulled Shen Liaobai to turn around and leave. They chose the direction of returning to the main hall.

Qin Zhaonan covered his lips with a fan, glanced at the hands they held together from beginning to end, thought for a while, and murmured: "I'm wrong, it should be locked by my side."

He scratched his head, and carved a very large and conspicuous mark with a fan on the wall beside him for meeting, then turned and left.

Before Shen Liaobai could understand the conversation between the two, he was dragged away by Chu Yuyang. For some reason, he cared a lot about the "he" in Qin Zhaonan's words, but he felt that he couldn't directly intervene, so he was entangled all the way.

Chu Yuyang noticed it keenly, and said, "What's wrong?"

Shen Liaobai hesitated again and again, but asked: "Who is...Qing Qi?"

Chu Yuyang watched Shen Liaobai's somewhat evasive expression, sighed imperceptibly, and said, "Qing Qi was originally in our line of business, but now he has quit, the reason is Qin Zhaonan."

Shen Liaobai was startled, "What?"

Chu Yuyang turned his gaze back to the road ahead, and said indifferently: "In order to keep Qing Qi by his side, Qin Zhaonan almost left the Qin family at first, then gave Qing Qi medicine that would cause weakness all over his body, and locked Qing Qi in his In a different courtyard, I watched him all day long, and finally Qing Qi almost went crazy, only to be found by a few of his friends. After a long time of trouble, although the two are now together, Qing Qi's body is no longer in good condition. If he is allowed to do this business again, he can only give up."

Shen Liaobai was silent for a moment, and said: "Qin Jun...but I didn't realize that he is such a person." His words were full of disapproval.

"At that time, things were very troublesome. Firstly, Qin Zhaonan's family is considered a big family. Secondly, Qingqi has a good reputation in this industry and has many friends. The confrontation between the two sides has almost reached the point of death. How did it calm down in the end? I don't know too much, I only know that Qin Zhaonan disappeared for half a year, and when he reappeared, Qing Qi had already agreed to stay by his side."

Shen Liaobai suddenly said: "That Qing Qi is..."

"It's a man. Women are not allowed to get involved in this business." Chu Yuyang answered immediately as if he understood what he wanted to ask.

Shen Liaobai was stunned. Although it is not uncommon for men to fall in love, it is the first time he has seen such a big scene. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Then Qin Jun and that Qing Qi..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yuyang interrupted him and said: "There is only one person, and he will be with him for the rest of his life."

Only this one person has to be with him for a lifetime.Shen Liaobai was a little dazed, he lowered his head, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the hands he and Chu Yuyang had been holding. For some reason, he was just a little embarrassed in the past, but now he seemed to understand something. It started to feel hot, so hot that he didn't know what to say, but subconsciously wanted to free his hand, as if those vague facts could be covered up again.

However, before he could move, Chu Yuyang let go first. Before Shen Liaobai had time to react, Chu Yuyang hugged his waist and took a few steps back.

He looked up and immediately understood what was happening.Because of the limited illumination range of the lights in this section of the tomb, one of the two shark lanterns was always hidden in the darkness. At this time, they backed up a few steps, just in front of the previous shark lantern, and he could clearly see it. , the countless hair-like tentacles are slowly retreating into the darkness.

"They seem to be afraid of light." Shen Liaobai said.

Chu Yuyang frowned and said: "There are too many, and they can rely on those human skins to move. If they rely on these mermaid lamps, they may not be able to retreat completely."

After a moment of stalemate, Shen Liaobai could hear rustling noises coming from the darkness, and soon, as Chu Yuyang said, a pale human face appeared in the sight of the two of them.

'Her' complexion is as if several layers of white powder have been applied, presenting a stiff and unnatural white, her lips are dry, but painted with bright vermilion lipstick, even her eyebrows have been carefully painted, her facial features are slender, and her closed eyes are the same as before. With human skin, with slender and delicate eyelashes, everything is the same as it was a hundred years ago, even the makeup remains unchanged. Because of this, when the whole body was exposed to the light of the lamp, Shen Liaobai couldn't help but gasped.

The human skin is full of slender parasitic plants, and their movements are not fast, so only by looking carefully can you see strange bumps on the exposed skin from time to time. The human skin is like a puppet being manipulated. The plant stem protruding from the ear was fixed on the wall, and slowly approached Shen Liaobai.

Chu Yuyang didn't move until the human skin figurine was exposed to the light, and then he raised his hand and used a blade to cut a huge cut in the human skin figurine.

The blade was sharp, and directly cut the human skin figurine from the neck down to the belly, opening a big mouth, and immediately, the wriggling and intertwined plant stems fell out in groups, and curled up into a ball as soon as it came into contact with the light. The original light green color gradually turned black. Shen Liaobai moved his nose and couldn't help covering his nose. The tentacles emitted a stench as if they were burnt, which was very unpleasant.

The human skin soon fell limply to the ground, and the brocade clothes on the outer hood were loosened, and the stems that had not yet fallen out struggled and surged under the human skin and the brocade clothes. Shen Liaobai looked at this scene and felt his whole body As if immersed in ice water, he was too cold to speak.

Chu Yuyang's cold voice sounded beside his ears, "Don't look at it." At the same time, he reached out and patted his cheek.

Feeling the heat of Chu Yuyang's palm on his cheek, Shen Liaobai came back to his senses. He took a light breath and said, "What should we do now? Although these plants are afraid of fire, there are so many of them, we can't be trapped In this small area, Wen Hao and Han Zhang don't know what's going on."

Chu Yuyang took out the bonfire and threw it into the darkness not far away. He saw that the green light of the bonfire did not change, but listening to the sound, the plants did not respond to the light of the bonfire.

"It seems that I'm afraid of open flames." Chu Yuyang said, he took out the blade, assembled a few pieces, then walked over, dragged the human skin over, and peeled off the brocade clothes that were loosely wrapped around the human skin. I don't know how the skin has been treated, but it is still as soft as ever after a hundred years.Shen Liaobai knew what he was going to do by watching his movements, even though these "girls" were only skins, Shen Liaobai turned his face away and whispered softly: "Do not look at evil."

Chu Yuyang seemed to laugh faintly, and Shen Liao's white ears were slightly red. After a while, Chu Yuyang said: "Okay." Then he turned his head, and the human skin had been thrown back into the darkness by Chu Yuyang In the middle of the night, the assembled blade in Chu Yuyang's hand was covered with layers of clothes. He walked to the Shark Lantern and carefully pried off the lampshade with a dagger. The flame jumped suddenly and made a slight crackle. Chu Yuyang paused for a moment, and only continued to move after the flames calmed down.

After dipping the clear and colorless merman grease in the lamp socket, Chu Yuyang sprinkled some spirits on top of the flame, and the thin tongue of flame slowly climbed up the clothes along the traces of wine and grease, forming a A crude torch.

He held Shen Liaobai's hand again, and said, "Follow closely, let's go."

Shen Liaobai understood the serious situation at this time, and ignored the strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart when he was held, the two walked into the darkness together.

As soon as he walked into it, Shen Liaobai vaguely saw countless pale human faces receding back like a tide. Although they were wrapped in human skin and clothes, the torch was different from the merman lamp. The merman lamp still had a lampshade, and The flames of the torches were even more unscrupulous, afraid of the heat from the leaping flames, those human skins had to retreat for a while.

The two walked for a while, and they could vaguely see the entrance in front of them. Shen Liaobai was heaving a sigh of relief, but he heard Chu Yuyang groan.

Shen Liaobai looked sideways, and saw a pale face close at hand, he took a step back in shock, the face was leaning on Chu Yuyang's shoulder, facing Shen Liaobai's direction, slowly revealing a A very deep smile comes.

Shen Liaobai only felt a chill in the back of his neck, and he suddenly realized that Chu Yuyang's muffled groan was probably due to being thrown on his body by human skin, "Chu Yuyang, how are you?"

With difficulty, Chu Yuyang switched the torch from his hand to the other, and said, "Use a dagger to cut it open."

Shen Liaobai hastily took out the dagger, and cut a hole in the human skin that was on Chu Yuyang's body. Because of the posture of the human skin, the cut made by the dagger was not big, and Chu Yuyang stretched out the torch unceremoniously. In the past, there was only a grinding sound from the skin, and after a while, the whole human skin, together with the stems and whiskers inside, slid down from Chu Yuyang's body softly.

When Shen Liaobai smelled the stench, he knew that this human skin was nothing to fear.He carefully inspected the place where Chu Yuyang was skinned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that it didn't enter the body. What's going on? Aren't they afraid of fire?"

Chu Jianyang's amber eyes reflected the fire, as if they were bright golden, extremely bright. He looked at the hall not far away, and said, "They don't want to let us go out of here."
