The Dark Game of Tomb Raiders Notes

The Phantom Snake Appears

Suddenly hearing that voice that had been lingering in my dream for many years made me feel overwhelmed, and for a moment my whole body became stiff and unable to move.Seeing that I was not moving, the soldier behind gave me a hard push, and I staggered and fell into it.

When I fell to the ground with a snap, the stiffness in my whole body seemed to be untied.But I still didn't dare, or rather I didn't want to raise my head. After I got up, I knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, please forgive me, I didn't do anything wrong!!"

I thought it was something that Fatty and I were going to hide privately and it was discovered. If this kind of thing is caught, it is doomed to a dead end.But I am poor and short of breath. In order to be able to leave here early and live a good life, I agreed to cooperate with him without hesitation when the fat man proposed to hide some gold and then look for an opportunity to escape.

In fact, this is not easy. On the one hand, the inspection is very strict. Even the asshole has to be inspected every day before leaving the mine.Then there is the fact that we are only digging for ore, not panning for gold.It is almost impossible to detect formed chunks of gold from mountains of ore.But we still hope that good luck will come...

So when my shovel was blocked by the box that day, I still felt a tremor in my heart, thinking that I had dug a treasure...

I just knelt down like that, and no one paid attention to me for a long time. Just when I wondered if there was no one in front of me, I suddenly saw a pair of boots coming in front of me.I watched the boots dare not move, the man stood in front of me for a while, and finally walked away.

I don't know what the other person wants to do, I just feel that when he approaches me, my heart beats very hard, and this person's voice is exactly the same as the calling sound in my dream, which makes me very uncomfortable, the kind of desperate desire to escape Impulse makes me restless.In addition, the other party did not mention how to deal with me, this kind of anxiety made me even more frightened...

Just when I was sweating profusely, I heard a voice asking: "You are Wu Zhong, tell me how you dug that box that day?"

When I heard it, I was even more puzzled. This voice was completely different from the one just now.Did I hear wrong just now?But hearing that he only asked about the box and didn't mention the private possession, I couldn't help but feel more at ease.I lowered my head and told the story of that day, and then the man let me go out.I hurriedly backed out, only to feel that my body was completely wet.

When I returned to the camp, the fat man saw me and hurried over to inquire about the situation. I shook my head to indicate that he was fine.The fat man patted me and went back to sleep.After I lay down, I couldn't fall asleep. The voice of that person was so different between the two times.I think there may be two people in the camp. The one who sounded like a call to me in a dream didn't talk to me later, and the latter was said by another person.But the strange thing is that I didn't feel the presence of another person.

I remember seeing a performance when I was a child. A person could imitate the sounds of various animals or musical instruments. Without seeing it, I really couldn’t tell the difference between the real and the fake. Does that person have such skills?

……

That night, I thought about it for a long time before I fell asleep in a daze.But soon he was woken up by the fat man, saying that it was time to go to work.I forced myself to get up and went down the well in a daze.

Several months passed, and the fat man and I still didn't get the chance to escape and hide the gold.Such dark days really give people a desperate urge to destroy everything...

***

Not long after we went into the well that day, Fatty and I were digging with shovels when we suddenly felt the mountain shake, and then the stone walls fell down one after another.The fat man and I dropped our tools and ran out, but the mine tunnel was narrow and was buried by falling rubble after a while.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and after a while some people burst into tears.My mind went blank, are we buried alive like this?I'm not reconciled, I'm only 14 years old, I haven't even held a girl's hand, I don't want to die...

But I understand that no one will come to rescue us. Even if the government is willing to send troops to rescue us, it will be impossible to dig out the blocked mine within ten days and a half months or even longer.Although there is an escape passage underground, the road leading there has also been blocked...

At this time, the fat man yelled to stop the crying person, and then told everyone to sit down on the spot in order to maintain strength and save air.Many people followed suit, and I also sat on the side.

It's strange to say that I'm not so scared when I'm dying like this, maybe it's because I'm not the only one here...

Fatty sat down beside me and asked quietly, "Are you afraid?"

I shook my head, only to hear the fat man sigh: "If Fatty and I are alone, there is really nothing to be afraid of."

I smiled slightly, knowing that he couldn't let go of Yun Cai, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you really die, drag Yun Cai to a dream, let her find a good man to marry soon..."

The fat man said nothing after hearing this, and neither did I.Fatty was right, being alone with no worries is a kind of sadness, but at the same time it is also a kind of luck.Even if a person like me disappears in the world, no one will find it, just like there has never been "I"...

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly trembled, and a vague feeling of deja vu lingered in my heart.It felt amazing, like I've heard similar words before...

But that's impossible, my adoptive father is a lonely, eccentric old man who doesn't do much except drink and swindle money with fake antiques.But the strange thing is that he treated me very well, never beat or scolded me, and even sent me to a private school for two years with the money he cheated.I used to be a well-known "child prodigy" in the county.It's a pity that the person who was deceived later reported the adoptive father to the government, and the arrest of the government made us hide in Tibet.In the end we were still caught, and my qualification to enter Beijing was also deprived.The adoptive father was thrown into prison and died of illness not long after.And I was sentenced to pay off the debt owed by my adoptive father, so I came to this gold mine...

I leaned my head against the stone wall and closed my eyes. I knew that it would not be long before I would fall asleep forever, and I would no longer have to endure such a dark life, nor would I be tortured by that weird dream.Thinking of this, I slightly regret that I didn't look up that time to look at the man whose voice sounded the same as calling me "Wu Xie" in the dream.

I fell asleep in a daze...

Not long after, another wave of shaking shook me to the ground. Amidst the fat man's exclamation, I got up and was shocked to find that there was something knocked out of the wall I was leaning against just now. Huge cave.The thing sprang out of the hole, and it crawled past my body as if swimming.I feel the coldness on its body and the friction of its scales...

I was trembling all over, that thing... turned out to be a gigantic snake...
