Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

The paused video starts playing again.

After hearing it 'clack' twice, it completely lost its strength and fell to the side.

Ajiu took a step back, and pulled the fan out of its body expressionlessly, not caring at all that the splashed blood and corpse water stained her clothes.

Zhang Qiling had already fully lifted the switch, the stone door gradually opened, and the other end was indeed the passage they came from.

He stood up, and instead of walking directly over, he jumped out at a distance of about three and a half meters.He turned around and stretched out his hand to Ajiu.

"Jump over."

She blinked and breathed a sigh of relief, her usual sluggishness showing on her face again.Walk there slowly.

Where she couldn't see, Zongzi behind her twitched a finger, and a bloody hand grabbed Ajiu's ankle violently.

She frowned, this guy could move so quickly.

Just now, he aimed at the vital point and stabbed it down. Although he didn't intend to kill it like this, at least it should be able to delay for a while.

The strength of that hand was so strong that it almost broke her muscles and bones.

She shook off the fan, and the sharp black gold edge easily sliced ​​off the blood corpse's wrist.After running a few steps, she jumped up and grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand. The latter pulled her and led her out of the door.

Zhang Qiling threw the flashlight half a meter inside the secret door, and the flashlight rolled twice and stopped.The moment Ajiu turned around, she seemed to see a huge black shadow swaying in front of her with the wind, and the blood corpse that was about to chase her out suddenly disappeared, only a muffled sound came from inside.

"What is that?" She hadn't reacted yet.

Zhang Qiling didn't answer her words, just pressed the stone brick next to him, closed the stone door, then turned to her and said, "Run."

This section of the journey that only takes a few minutes to turn back is extremely long.It wasn't until they climbed out of the well that Ajiu really relaxed and clung to the edge of the well to the ground.

It was now completely night, the sky was full of stars, and the surrounding air was cold and quiet. Not far from them, the small graves were still standing there, forming a few strange black shadows.

Looking at those tombs, Ajiu felt that strange feeling rose again.

"Those are just memorial monuments." Zhang Qiling didn't look at her, and lit a fire on the withered grass not far away.

It's an earthbound spirit, so it shouldn't be chased out of the tomb, it's safe here.

"By the way, the trap you said 'whoever enters will die' is the one just now?"

The thing that flashed past in the cave just now should be two huge stone hammers.The so-called 'trap' should be a weight-sensing mechanism. Someone stepped on the stone near the entrance, the weight of which would activate the mechanism, and two interlaced sledgehammers would swing down from the air, smashing people into meatloaf on the spot.

What a simple trap.And it is definitely not a place that cannot be passed.As long as the time is right, if you pass through the gap between them, there is still a great chance to get in.

"Sure enough, is there something strange in the four coffins placed in the corner?" She said to herself.

"There used to be four zongzi as guards." Zhang Qiling sat down beside the fire.

"Originally? That is to say, who destroyed it later?"

"Well, by me."

"..." She was speechless for a while, not knowing how to evaluate Zhang Qiling's straightforward words: "Then why didn't you enter that tomb?"

Zhang Qiling went in through the false door, but he didn't seem to enter the main tomb, but went back the same way, and went to look for the four keys after he came out. Is there any reason for this?

"The last time I went in from there, I didn't find a door leading to that tomb."

"Didn't find it?" Ajiu was puzzled.Although it was said that they ran all the way from there, she was sure that there was no fork in the road, and would they still get lost in such a one-way place?What's more, Zhang Qiling is not the kind of owner who will be deceived by ghosts hitting the wall, that is to say, the owner of the tomb uses some means to prevent people who enter from the wrong entrance from seeing the existence of the jade gate.

As for the method, whether the eight doors are Qimen Dunjia, she has already come out, and she can't figure it out now.

Anyway, just come out.She closed her eyes lightly, she hadn't been so excited for a long time, she had the feeling that all the muscles and bones of her whole body had been fully activated, and now she still had the jittery feeling just now.

Sure enough, following him was the right thing to do.

Five seconds later, Ah Jiu opened his eyes, and the tiredness on his face just now was gone.She dug out two rolls of bandages from the backpack that Zhang Qiling put aside, stood in front of him, stared at his blood-stained back, after a while, uttered a word.

"Take off."

<<<<<

If she hadn't seen Zhang Qiling stuffing bandages and potions into the bag before leaving, she really wouldn't have believed that such things would appear in Zhang Qiling's bag.

It seemed that he knew that this would be a sinister fight before he came, so he had everything prepared.

Just now when Ajiu stood in front of Zhang Qiling and condescendingly threw out the word 'off', his expression was stunned for a moment, which was very funny.

The wound on his back was still aching. He looked at the bandage in Ah Jiu's hand, turned around, and took off his coat.

It's been a long time since we treated human wounds.She knelt behind Zhang Qiling on one knee, applied disinfectant on the gauze, washed her fingers first, and then cleaned the bloody flesh on his back.The wound on the back had already begun to fester, and the blood and skin were sticking together. If it was not treated, it would probably be infected.

"Just now, how did you know that the way out was the way out?" Sure enough, she was still a little concerned, and there was no time for her to ask about the situation just now.

"The gluttonous totem is 'deep sleep', and deep sleep means 'quietness'." He paused: "It's half a guess, and I didn't have time to think about it at that time."

"..." It means that you yourself are not fully sure that you can come out.She was half depressed and half appreciative. What was depressed was that she felt that Zhang Qiling's answer was a bit far-fetched. What she appreciated was his courage and adaptability in the face of danger. A person who can keep calm in such a crisis, she has seen in a hundred years. There are not many people who have been there.

Finally cleaned up the blood pus and dust on her back, she took out a small round box from her bag and unscrewed it, inside was a light brown ointment, last time she saw Zhang Qiling apply this to the wound, it smelled like traditional Chinese medicine Milled hemostatic cream.She evened the ointment on her fingertips and applied it to his back, only feeling his back stiffen.

It looks like it should hurt.

"That zongzi just now, why is it eating spirits?" Suddenly, Zhang Qiling asked.

"For 'resurrection'." She paused, then continued: "But it failed."

She didn't stop what she was doing, picked up the bandage and wrapped it around his waist, and continued to talk: "You can also see, that guy's eyes are completely black."

—A completely black eye means something without a soul.

"'Resurrection' is just a delusion, impossible to realize." Ajiu's understated tone was full of disdain: "What's more, it violated a taboo, and that's the end. If you want to eat other people's souls, you will be swallowed by those souls, becoming A veritable walking dead...even if we didn't kill it just now, it won't last long."

Zhang Qiling didn't look back, and seemed to be waiting for the next step.

"People have their own laws, and ghosts have their own rules. In the soul world, devouring the souls of living things is a taboo."

Fearing that there would still be blood oozing out, she wrapped several thick bandages around his waist.

"The survival of a non-living body like the soul also requires conditions." Anyway, if you have to tell him sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity and tell him some things at once, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

"The first case is 'possession'. Keep your soul in an object like me. Then sign a blood contract with a human being, that is, you, to materialize. As long as you don't die, I can continue in the form of materialization Survival... oh, not that I'm taking the vigor and stamina out of you, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

Zhang Qiling looked at the back of his hand, there was still a light brown scar on it.In the corpse cave in the Guazi Temple in Shandong, I used a knife to cut the back of my hand. At that time, the blade was covered with blood. The so-called "contract" was made at that time, right?

"Because of this blood contract, your words are a kind of spirituality and binding force to me."

"Not all human blood can make a contract with a soul. In the thousand years I lived before, there were very few people who made a blood contract with me."

"There are also many weak souls that need to live in places with relatively strong spiritual fields, and they can only survive under the influence of strong external spiritual power. Many zongzi in ancient tombs are not caused by natural corpses, but because they were killed by this kind of soul. Temporary possession. It’s just that once you leave the tomb, you will lose the effect of external spiritual power, and your soul will fly and annihilate.”

"The second is to 'eat'." After tying the last round, she pulled the two ends of the bandage punitively and tightened it tightly: "It is not allowed to devour a person's soul. Although people There is a saying in the world that 'the strong prey on the weak', but in our field, this is a violation of ethics. If you devour the soul, the soul will become an evil spirit, and you have seen the result."

"The tomb and the gluttonous totems surrounding it on all sides formed a resurrection 'array'. It gathered many wild souls there, and when a tomb robber opened the coffin, it sucked away those souls, hoping to revive one's own soul and body .And you should be very clear about what gluttony represents even if I don’t tell you.”

It should have been thought of from the very beginning, the meaning of this kind of divine beast appearing in the tomb.

Just as she was about to stand up, Zhang Qiling reached out and grabbed her arm, and turned her left shoulder. There was a big tear on the black sleeve, and the blood on it had clotted. Although it couldn't be seen clearly, A large dry patch on the fabric was clearly palpable.

Rolling up her sleeves, there was a glaring dark cut on her white arm, the blood had clotted and scarred.

"As I just said, I rely on your strength to materialize."

Although appearing in human form, her physical form is ultimately the blade.

"If the knife body is not damaged, this kind of wound is not a serious problem, and it will heal after resting in the knife for a while. Don't worry, my body is much stronger than human beings." She patted Zhang Qiling's shoulder and stood up: "That's all I have to say, what else do you want to ask?"

He turned his head away from looking at her, his face was mostly covered by the shadow of his bangs, and he couldn't see his expression.

Ajiu covered the smile on her lips, and showed a rare serious look: "Then, I also want to ask you a question."

Zhang Qiling glanced at her, beckoning her to say.

"you……"

— did you know me before?

This sentence could be blurted out at any time, but it was stuck in his throat at this time, unable to speak for a long time.

Should I ask?

They looked at each other speechlessly.

She is not a fool, the amount of concessions Zhang Qiling made in front of her is suspicious.

If he didn't know his strength, why would he trust her?Repeatedly acquiesced to her seemingly suspicious behavior in the tomb?If they didn't know each other well, why would he be so unguarded in front of him, even allowing her to apply medicine and bandages on him?

"No, it's nothing." Qianyan Wanyu finally sighed: "You rest, I will watch all night tonight."

He shook his head: "I'm fine."

"..." Why is this person trying to be brave all the time, Ajiu is helpless: "Don't worry, the sword soul is not as fragile as you humans, and there is no need to rest."

The words have already reached this point, it would be bad if you don't show face, master.

Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment, no longer refused, and gave her a complicated look, she didn't understand the things in his eyes.

After confirming that the owner took out the sleeping bag from the bag and rested, she was relieved.

She gave up pursuing, sat down by the well, and looked up at the galaxy in the night sky.

What is the need to ask him?I am just a knife, as long as I follow my master all the time, it is enough.

As for the others, no matter how much you know, it will be of no use to you at all.
