Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

The memory seemed to be shattered into a beam of moonlight, falling back to the courtyard in Hangzhou.Seeing that my fat brother and I were fighting around the barbecue grill, and the aroma constantly emerging from the tin foil turned into a delicacy, my fat brother and I ate it while laughing and refuting the ridicule from Wu Xie.

All of this is as clear as if it just happened yesterday, the charcoal on the fire is slowly burning out, and a fish is gradually stripped to its skeleton.Fat Brother looked at the night sky and said, "There is a shocking secret engraved on the bracelet..."

At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. By the time I understand it now, isn't it too late?

"Cough..." The air blocked in his throat finally broke through the barrier, and he coughed out the water he choked on.The already stiff fingers dug hard on the stone, and there was no pain anymore, but the stone here was as slippery as the one at the bottom of the lake.

"Huh...Skater? Hands can still move? Am I not dead?" After receiving this information, the brain immediately notified the senses in all parts of the body.I opened my eyes slightly, and saw that I was lying on a damp bluestone slab, my intuition recovered little by little, my whole body seemed to be run over, and the pain made me gasp.

"It won't be disabled, right?" The thought popped out of my mind suddenly, I hurriedly kicked my feet hard, yes, I could still move, then moved my arms, and tried to get off the stone slab and get up.

"Fortunately, I'm not dead or disabled, my life is really big enough." I laughed at myself secretly.He raised his eyes and surveyed the surrounding environment.

I found that the bluestone slab I was sitting on was not too far from the water level of the lake. Looking at the receding water marks, I thought I was sucked into the vortex and brought here by the current.There are obvious traces of man-made excavation on the stone slab, but what exactly is this place?

At first, I thought it was the water-absorbing vortex of the dragon that reached the bottom of the lake, sucked me into the water column, and carried me into the air. After the wind stopped, I was thrown back to the shore?And the reason why I can see the surroundings clearly without lighting must be that the weather has turned better and the clouds have cleared.The night on the plateau was already late, and this blue and black hazy light, didn't it seem like the night at midnight.

In this way, I didn't pass out for a long time, and I was secretly happy, thankful that I wasn't smashed into a meatloaf.But it didn't take long for my series of conjectures to be slapped in the face by reality.When I got up tremblingly and climbed up the steps, I realized that the black and black mass around me were actually solid stone walls.

So the question comes back, what exactly is this place?Thinking of this, my scalp felt numb. If it was normal, I would pinch my thigh first, to verify whether I was still alive or not?But right now it seems unnecessary, every time I move my limbs feel like they are going to fall apart, why would there be any pain after death?

"Is anyone there?" I called out.No one answered, only a clear echo rushed back.

"Damn, what the hell place?" I cursed, the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe just now has disappeared.He had no choice but to lean against the stone wall and try his best to calm himself down.

The situation is very bad now, there is not enough light to find a way out, no food to satisfy the hunger, no heating equipment to keep out the cold.If you don’t starve to death, you will also freeze to death. You need to know that this is the northwest region after autumn, and the temperature at night can reach below zero. In addition, my clothes are soaked. The difference between early death and late death, every minute and every second of life is still tormented.

I took off my coat and planned to wring it out. Wet clothes can also keep warm in a windless environment.One sleeve had been bitten by the salmon and torn into several pieces.Fortunately, the wound was not deep, only the flesh.It's just that I didn't recover much strength, so I could only kneel on the ground, press my knees on one end of the clothes, and turn the clothes vigorously with the other two hands. The filtered water droplets directly wet the bluestone board. I cast a glance, but inadvertently The water was found to have changed color on the stone.

I stared blankly for a moment, watching the water flow through the crevices of the stones, there seemed to be a mass of dark red stuck in the crevices of the stones.What is this?My fingers are slender, and it didn't take much effort to pinch it out, but the moment my fingertips touched it, my heart beat unconsciously accelerated.Is it leather, a man-made product?

"...meaning someone has been here before?" I looked at that thing before my eyes, a red women's glove, uh, and it looked familiar, I seemed to be in the previous team, who wore it?

I took a deep breath, calmed down, and tried to think about it, but I really didn't remember it.It doesn't matter who owns the thing, the important thing is that this glove gives me the hope of living. If someone from the team also enters here, then I just need to find him, ask for his help to survive, and go out like this The probability will be greatly increased.

However, although there is such a glimmer of hope, the difficulty of finding someone is not small.First of all, I have to analyze their whereabouts. Looking up, the top is a blue-gray, blurry, I don't know how high the cave is?There is no trace of climbing on the stone wall, so it is impossible to go up.

The left side is the source of the water, and the possibility of people entering the water is not very high. They can only go around the pile of rocks on the right and climb over.I put the wet coat back on, and put the gloves on too.Outside of this environment, although it doesn't work, it's better than nothing.

Although I still have a strong sense of survival at this time, I have been trapped in such a closed environment for a long time, with no companions around me, and only a little dim light in my vision, suffering from hunger and cold.After a long time, negative emotions are always gnawing at my confidence.

What is even more frustrating is that there is no way out of the pile of rocks, only a narrow hole in the ground.Looking at the excavation method, it looked like a masterpiece of "professionals". I stroked the rough gravel on it, and my heartbeat suddenly picked up again.

"Could it be him? I never thought about meeting him in this place, but once the thought pops up, it's hard to get rid of it. The last time we parted with him was a bit embarrassing... Forget it, It doesn't matter if you don't want to!"

At this point there was no other way, so I had no choice but to go down low, ready to explore where this cave was going.However, I found a large maroon at the entrance of the cave, huh?Here too?I wiped my wet sleeve up a few times, only to realize that it wasn't that the stone would change color when exposed to water, but that it was covered with dried blood stains.

"The rocks just now were all... blood? Was someone injured?" I looked back at the water stains on the rocks behind me, and then jumped into the hole without hesitation.The cave was bigger than expected, and I didn't have much pressure to pass through it. Since I didn't have any equipment, I climbed very fast on the road with light clothes.The hole is U-shaped and not deep, it seems that they just want to avoid the pile of rocks.

Due to the skillful play of this hole, I am even more convinced that it was made by a master.They have also developed a strong interest in this place. Could it be that the "Dinghu" that Xiao Rong and the others have been looking for is here?

After crawling out of the cave, he found some bloodstains. This person's injury looks not very optimistic. I don't know what happened now?I followed the bloodstains and continued to move forward, and found that there was a huge space here.In front of it was a stone bridge more than one meter wide. The extension and connection of the stone bridge could not be seen clearly, and the bottom was also pitch black.I threw a stone down, but I didn't hear a sound for a long time, and my scalp couldn't help but feel numb.Looking up, there is still a faint glimmer of light coming down, through some fog, it can be seen vaguely.How good would it be if there was a signal flare at this time?

I have never figured out where this slightly emerald light came from. Could it be that the ceiling of the cave is inlaid with emeralds?It can't be bright?In the past few years, I have seen a lot of strange creatures underground, which made me feel in awe.So I picked up a few more stones and threw them on the bridge. I was worried that there was something wrong, so I explored the road first.

The stone tumbled to the ground, making a few crisp sounds, and the surroundings returned to deathly silence.I stepped out my legs cautiously, half arched my body and groped forward.

Just when I walked to the middle of the stone bridge, a "da da da" sound suddenly came from my ear.Because the sound broke the silent space in an instant, my tense clockwork suddenly broke, and I immediately lay down on the ground nervously.

But the noise stopped soon, and everything was like my illusion.I tried to calm myself down and crawled across the bridge quickly.On the other side is an arched opening, and there is a hall-like space inside after entering.

"Where is this... exactly?" I scraped through all the historical materials in my mind, but I didn't seem to remember that the tomb of any Northwest leader was built at the bottom of the lake.Moreover, the scale here is large, kept very dry, the design is ingenious, and the wisdom of the ancients is really admirable.

Since I have no clue at all, I can only start with the details in front of me.I groped to the base of the wall of the temple, firstly, I planned to follow the wall line, which was safer, and secondly, I wanted to see if there were any murals, inscriptions, etc., to find some clues.This touch really let me find out a little way, the concave and convex lines on the wall are clearly engraved with something, but unfortunately the light is too dark to see clearly what is the painting?

Just when I was happy for a new discovery, I stepped on a round object on the sole of my foot and fell suddenly.He fell to the ground suddenly, his face was hurt by something on the ground, and he could smell gunpowder smoke from the tip of his nose.Then he picked up those things with both hands and looked at them, almost laughing out loud, these are bullet casings.

Even if this thing doesn't work, it's enough to make me happy!This can also prove from the side that their direction is correct, they also entered here, but where did they go at this time?

I got up and just saw the thing at my feet that made me wrestle. This thing really made me yell with joy.Because this is a new type of multifunctional flashlight, it can be used both on land and in water, and it has a long battery life and can shine very far.

"Pa" I pressed the switch anxiously, yes, the battery is full, and I can clearly see a few meters around.I seemed to come alive again when I regained the light, and then moved the light to the stone wall.But the things on top scared me to the ground again.

It is densely carved with eyes, uh... it should be said to be a very strange kind of eyes, all eye sockets have double pupils.
