Notes on Tomb Raiders: God will punish evil

So, I actually see that island is very far away from us now.

In the pitch black night, with Zhang Yaoqi's eyesight, of course he couldn't see the island.

However, under my guidance, more than an hour later, when the sun was just about to rise, we still reached the island.

The sunrise in the East China Sea is always the earliest. The sunrise in May is relatively early. At five o'clock, the sun has risen from the sea level, and the earth instantly becomes brighter.

When Zhang Yaoqi saw the island, his face immediately turned pale.

I obviously also noticed Zhang Yaoqi's abnormal expression, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yaoqi began to tremble even as he spoke, he said, "This... this is the island of evil... devils...!"

What, Zhang Yaoqi actually knew the origin of this island, which surprised me a lot.I looked at Zhang Yaoqi and said, "Tell me, why did this island take such a weird name? Well said, I have another reward for you."

Zhang Yaoqi swallowed his saliva, waited for a long time, and then said: "Actually, I have never seen this island, but I heard from my predecessors that there is a very dangerous island on the East China Sea, and that is the Devil Island. "

I feel very strange, because it is obviously illogical for Zhang Yaoqi to judge that this is Alcatraz.

Zhang Qiyaoqi went on to say: "Actually, my ancestors once said that the most distinctive feature of Alcatraz is that the entire island looks like a half-length giant."

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but look towards the island, and I was taken aback.

This island really looked like a half-length giant, standing upright in the sea, and the seawater just dipped into the giant's chest.He raised his head high, looking up at the rising sun, as if he was expecting something.

I asked Zhang Yaoqi: "Have you heard any legends about Alcatraz?"

Zhang Yaoqi's face was a little ugly, and he said to me: "According to the legend, Alcatraz Island is extremely terrifying. There are not only blood-sucking demons on it, but also poisonous dragons. Anyone who sets foot on Alcatraz Island will never come back."

There are many ancient legends, which may not be true, but some are definitely not groundless.

Zhang Yaoqi continued: "I have been fishing in the East China Sea for so many years, and I have often helped people smuggle them. I am quite familiar with this area, but I have never seen the legendary Alcatraz Island. I thought it was just used by my ancestors to scare people. , I didn’t expect this to be true.”

Seeing the solemn expression on Zhang Yaoqi's face, my expression also began to become serious.

Why does this island have such a weird shape, and Zhang Yaoqi has been fishing overseas for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered Alcatraz Island.

A bold idea suddenly appeared in my mind, and I thought to myself: "Could it be that the ancients used a powerful formation to cover this island?"

I once compared the maps drawn by Lao Ding with modern maps, and found that there are still many similarities in many places.For example, China's largest Dongshan Island, although the structure and size on the ancient map is different from the modern map, but the location is the same.

Modern satellite maps should be very accurate in determining the geographical environment. However, I have searched and found no record of this island on modern maps. This is simply unbelievable.

As I get closer to Alcatraz, I feel more and more the power and majesty of this island.

From a distance, Alcatraz looks like a giant standing in the sea, showing its upper body.Looking closer, Alcatraz Island looks like a huge boulder standing in the sea, and it is surrounded by cliffs, and ordinary people have no way to climb it.

"Take the boat and get close to Alcatraz." I said to Zhang Yaoqi.

Zhang Yaoqi stared at the boss, he seemed a little scared, and asked me: "Boss, are you really planning to go to Alcatraz?"

I felt a little impatient in my heart, and said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, just steer your boat well."

As we get closer to Alcatraz, I can feel Zhang Yaoqi's heart is a little nervous.After all, the evil name of Alcatraz Island has spread to the outside world. These fishermen have heard of it for a long time, and when they heard the name, they ran away from it.

I asked Zhang Yaoqi to drive a boat around Alcatraz Island, the purpose is very obvious, that is to observe the terrain of Alcatraz Island.

The area of ​​Alcatraz is only about half a square kilometer, but it is at least 50 meters above sea level.

Such a weird island is really unheard of among the islands in the East China Sea.

Logically speaking, with such an excellent location in the East China Sea, there should be some flying birds on the island.But turning around the entire Alcatraz Island, I didn't even find a bird, and the entire island was filled with a breath of death.

I said to Zhang Yaoqi: "Get the boat as close to Alcatraz Island as possible, and drop anchor.

Hearing what I said, Zhang Yaoqi became even more flustered. He said, "Boss, you really want to go to Alcatraz Island. This is a cliff, and ordinary people can't climb it at all."

I smiled coldly and said, "There is a huge amount of treasure on Devil's Island. If we find it, you will never be able to eat and spend it all in your life. Why worry? For this treasure, of course I will take a risk."

Hearing what I said, Zhang Yaoqi seemed to be tempted. He said: "Although the ancestors said that the Alcatraz Island is extremely dangerous, I also heard the secret of the buried treasure. How about it, I Zhang Yaoqi This is the first time to go all out and decide to accompany you to the end, but when the time comes to get the treasure, I have to share it."

When Zhang Yaoqi said this, it was obvious that his greed was at work, which made him decide to make this windfall regardless of the danger of his life.

The third child and I glanced at each other, it was the third child who was communicating with me spiritually.It was learned from the third child that she had no opinion on the matter.

In fact, it is beneficial and harmless to have an experienced fisherman for company.Moreover, with the strength of me and the third child, even if this fisherman has supernatural powers, he can't do any tricks.

I patted Zhang Yaoqi on the shoulder and said, "Since you are willing to take risks with us, if you find the treasure, I will share it with you." After speaking, I took out the second map and told Zhang Yaoqi Said: "Look at this map, what can you see?"

On the iron plate left to us by Kuiyang real person, there are two such maps depicted. The first one is for us to find the location of Alcatraz Island, and also sent flying silver corpses to guide us specially.

So what does the second map represent?

Lao Ding also conducted research on the second map, because the age of the map was too old and the lines were too complicated, so even Lao Ding could not draw a suitable conclusion.

Lao Ding's only explanation to me was that there might be an ancient tomb on this island, and this map shows the internal structure of this ancient tomb.

Of course, this is just his guess.

The fisherman named Zhang Yaoqi in front of him may know what these line-shaped figures represent.

I have copied many copies of the second map, and I showed one of them to Zhang Yaoqi.

Who knew that when Zhang Yaoqi saw the map, his eyes widened, apparently he had discovered something.

The third child and I were also very surprised when we saw Zhang Yaoqi's appearance, and I asked him, "Can you understand what this map means?"

Zhang Yaoqi shook his head, still staring at a key part of the second map, as if trying to remember something.

Immediately, the third child and I followed Zhang Yaoqi's gaze to look at the key part.

It was an elliptical pattern, and the entire pattern was expressed with fluid lines, and even the entire ellipse was drawn extremely irregularly, all of which were distorted lines.

The main reason why Lao Ding judged that the second map is the internal structure of an ancient tomb is also on the oval patterns, which are very similar to the structure of the tomb passage.And judging from the whole map, the pattern is located in the center of the map, which is particularly conspicuous.

Seeing Zhang Yaoqi staring at the pattern, the third child and I guessed that Zhang Yaoqi must have discovered something, but the current situation still makes him think carefully, maybe he will think of something.

In fact, this is the result that my third child and I want.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yaoqi suddenly pointed to the pattern and said to me: "Boss, I have seen that pattern before, so when you take this thing out, I feel that the pattern is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere , Now, I finally remembered the specific details."

Hearing Zhang Yaoqi say this, I was ecstatic, and said to him: "Tell me, what's the matter with this pattern?"

Zhang Yaoqi said slowly: "As you know, I am a fisherman. When I was young, I went out to sea with my father, and I was stranded on a mysterious island. The people on the island were all ethnic minorities. That day, it was their annual festival. On the sacrificial festival, when they worship the shrine, they will draw this circular pattern on the sacrifice."

What Zhang Yaoqi said was beyond my expectation, and it was far from Lao Ding's guess.

What, this pattern turned out to be a symbol of a shrine, so what is the real meaning of the second map?
