Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

The adjutant came over with three lanterns, but he was in trouble. He was familiar with the boy in front of him, the boy he rescued a while ago, although he didn't know why he appeared here.

After thinking about it, the adjutant hesitated and handed over the lantern.

Mr. Qi put the two lanterns handed to him on the ground and said, "This little brother Cheng is still a child. Not only did you drag me into this mess, but you also dragged the child in with you. What if he gets scared?"

After that, he pulled Cheng Ji back and said shamelessly: "I want to go in with you, but we can't let a child fall into danger, right? I'll stay and take care of the child."

Zhang Qishan looked at Qi Tiezui who was hiding behind Cheng Ji and acting like a rogue, with a half-smile: "Cheng Ji doesn't have to go in, but you--"

As he said this, he stuffed his lantern into Qi Tiezui's hand and held him by the back of his neck, ready to walk in: "You must go in."

Cheng Ji looked at Mr. Qi Ba, who was throwing a tantrum, with an amused look on his face, bent down and handed the two lanterns on the ground back to him: "Just take them, I don't need them." After saying that, he pulled the adjutant inside.

Cheng Ji also discovered this by chance a few nights ago. After asking Xiao Qi, he found out that his Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline also has the function of night vision. It must be said that the things produced by the system are really amazing.

The adjutant was dragged away by Cheng Ji, holding a lantern with a troubled look on his face. Zhang Qishan followed closely behind, holding Qi Tiezui.

The shelves on both sides of the carriage were filled with coffins bound by iron chains, with scattered dry mud and rotten and moldy white fungi on the coffins. They should be ancient coffins dug out from ancient tombs. There was a sense of mystery and a hint of gloom.

Qi Tiezui trembled as he taught the boy who seemed a little reckless to him: "Hey, little boy... do you know that this... is very dangerous? If... something happens to us... how are we going to explain it to your family?"

Zhang Qishan walked behind, thinking and not saying anything. It seems that Cheng Ji has a lot of secrets...

Cheng Ji, who was walking in front, didn't care about the thoughts of the two Zhang family members. He smiled and replied to Qi Tiezui: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ba. It's okay. I know what's going on."

Zhang Rishan carefully checked the coffins around him.

There were dozens of coffins, each of which had a number written on it in red paint, as well as the words "Second Section of the East Chamber of Tomb Jiasi".

They soon arrived at the main door of the carriage. The door leading to the next carriage was also welded tightly and was marked with Japanese characters. Zhang Rishan motioned for everyone to come and see.

"Do you understand?" Zhang Qishan asked his adjutant.

The adjutant struggled to decipher the words on the door.

Cheng Ji suddenly remembered the adjutant's alluring rhetoric in the book, and quickly interrupted the adjutant's outrageous remarks.

"This doesn't mean much. It looks like an experiment number."

After searching for a long time, they couldn't find another exit leading to the next carriage, so they had to return the same way.

The four of them walked and stopped until they reached the second carriage, and they smelled a strange odor before they entered.

Zhang Qishan frowned, and even Cheng Ji straightened his brows a little. If this train could be compared to a tomb, then this carriage would be the closest to the main tomb chamber.

When the four people walked in, they could tell at a glance that this carriage was different. There were no coffins here. It was more like a living place, with clothes hanging by the bed and daily necessities scattered on the table.

Zhang Qishan used his saber to cut through the dense spider web and vaguely saw the person hiding behind the spider silk.

It was obvious that he was dead, and his body was lying downwards in a strange manner.

I peeled open several bodies and they were all the same.

Qi Tiezui stuck his head out and couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright. The half of his face that was exposed was covered with densely packed small holes, which made people feel a chill down their spine.

After leaving the carriage, Zhang Qishan ordered: "Have someone wrap them in white bags and burn them. Remember to wear a gas mask to avoid contracting infectious diseases."

"The next carriage is the last one, and it might hold the main coffin. Even the welded iron sheet is much thicker than that of other carriages." Cheng Ji interjected.

"Tell everyone in the station except those with the surname Zhang to leave the station." Zhang Qishan ordered.

The four of them entered cautiously, and Qi Tiezui's heart was in his throat.

Of course, Cheng Ji was not included. Having read the original novel more than a dozen times in his previous life, he seemed to have a physical plug-in and naturally knew what was inside. After entering, he leaned lightly on the protective railing specially reinforced by the Japanese and looked at the coffin inside.

The wooden coffin was just as Qi Tiezui guessed, it came from the same tomb as the one in the front carriage and should be the main coffin.

The wood on the surface has been corroded and nothing can be seen. The only thing we can do is knock it open to see if there are any clues inside.

——There was a sarcophagus inside, and closest to the coffin were two soldiers with guns lying prone, just like the corpses before them!

When he saw the coffin, Qi Tiezui was shocked, muttering the words passed down by the older generation: "The coffin is made of leather, the leather is iron, the iron is covered with gold, it's a whistle coffin."

Thinking of this, Qi Tiezui felt that he was not far from the truth. But if it was for money, why would he go to so much trouble? If it was not for money, then what were these Japanese doing for?

"It is sealed with molten iron and contains a mechanism. It cannot be opened by brute force. The coffin can only be opened with the help of the Zhang family."

Cheng Ji spoke up, breaking the silence in the room.

The eyes of the two Zhang family members present changed slightly. The Zhang family has always been hidden in the city, and few outsiders know about it. The Cheng family is just an ordinary merchant family. Why did this young man know about it?

The boy's abilities along the way are also different from those of ordinary people. Who is he?

Cheng Ji felt the gazes from the two people, smiled and did not explain immediately.

He knew that with Zhang Qishan's shrewdness, no matter how much he said, it would not be easy to dispel his suspicions.

Qi Tiezui didn't notice the undercurrents between the three people, and spoke hesitantly: "The coffin was sealed with molten iron, and there are words engraved on it. These should have been left by the expert who hung the mirror on the train."

"There must be iron nails within three steps of your feet. Adjutant, drive away all the snakes present."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan turned his gaze away from Cheng Ji and took a few steps back. As expected, what Qi Tiezui said came true.

When Zhang Rishan returned to the carriage after giving the announcement, he took hesitant steps and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Zhang Qishan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master Buddha, I am also a snake..."

Zhang Qishan sneered: "All the weak Zhang family members died in the Northeast. Stay well with me. I can't kill you, so no one can kill you."

Cheng Ji lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes. You, Zhang Qishan, are worthy of saying that you are a member of the Zhang family, haha.

Qi Tiezui, who was standing by, didn't bother to pay attention to all these trivial things. He picked up the iron nail under his feet with a serious face and looked at it again and again.

Cheng Ji looked at the Zhang family member in front of him who had only a title but only a vague understanding of tomb feng shui, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

You are overestimating him by expecting him to understand the origin and purpose of these three layers of water-trapping nails.

He used the people from the Nine Gates to clear the way and took the blame on the head of the Zhang family, all for a smooth career path for himself and to obtain the secret of immortality to make up for his impure Qilin blood.

Very good, Zhang Qishan.
