Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 23: The Living Tomb

Time is a wonderful thing, three days ago, I was a student in the archaeology department of a university in Beijing, and even though there were mysteries that had plagued me for more than ten years and had not been solved, I had never imagined the situation I am in now.

After receiving the package handed to me by Aunt Ming, after knowing the location of "Ghost Cub Ridge", my original stress-free lifestyle was completely changed.

At the same time, what has changed is my mental endurance.

The experience of the past two days has made me vaguely understand the series of arrangements between the second uncle and Aunt Ming. However, it is not completely certain now, and these doubts will only be truly clarified after being verified by Aunt Ming.

The experience of "Ghost Cub Ridge" should be the foreshadowing of entering the underground palace in front of you, and it is certain that the wild ridge filled with countless "Yin Soldier" stones is inextricably linked with this underground palace that may be Zhao Tuo's tomb.

As for the connection, I don't know what I'm going to know from my current experience.

My guess is that the reason why the second uncle let me experience the "Ghost Cub Ridge" and arranged for me to enter this strange palace that they have already explored may be to a large extent to let me "train my courage".

I'm afraid the mystery in my heart is hidden in countless dangerous and strange dungeons similar to this dungeon or some other place.

If my life is covered by these places in the future, then my mental capacity will play a crucial role.

Now it seems that their purpose has been achieved.

Today, I am very different from the extremely nervous mood and state after the sudden and strange events I encountered when I went to the "Ghost Cub Ridge" for the first time and went down to the underground palace for the first time.

I began to learn to be calm and to come up with the best way to deal with these dangers and weirdness.

I was a little surprised by this change, maybe I was born with the genes to adapt to this environment, but I have no other explanation for my performance and change.

And the big fat man sitting opposite me, who was gobbling up food into his mouth, was arranged by the second uncle and Aunt Ming to ensure my safety.

But I vaguely felt that my purpose for my second uncle and Aunt Ming to arrange me to come to this underground palace was not as simple as I imagined.

The word "courage" has always been a bit out of touch with the environment around me.

I didn't fight for the fat man's suggestion to disagree with me leaving, in fact, it was very difficult for me to convince myself of my suggestion, let alone this uncontrolled fat man of more than 200 pounds!

For a while, a proverb came to my mind: "If you come here, you will be safe".

After this proverb flashed through my mind, the fat man actually said a similar proverb tacitly: "I said Xiao Su, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, you are afraid of a ball, everything has you Zhang Ye and my palace, and there is all the danger for them to come to Zhang Ye's more than 200 catties of fat!" ”

As he spoke, he patted his belly, and the sound of his palms touching the fat flesh echoed throughout the dungeon.

I have to say that the fat man's encouraging words are very powerful, and I was instantly motivated. I began to understand the reason why the second uncle arranged the fat man.

Although he often shows no boundaries, he is optimistic, brave, responsible, not afraid of challenges, and all kinds of advantages that I think I have not found him, and I am on the way to be discovered.

Such a person is a natural leader, and I have only been in contact with him for a few hours, and I have already begun to develop feelings of dependence and sustenance on him.

At the same time as these blind and uncontrolled emotions are generated, I can also analyze the mental activity of the fat man at the moment.

Since he knew that this place was related to the tomb of Zhao Tuo of the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and there was a 95% chance that this was Zhao Tuo's tomb.

The idea of finding the "Yang Sui Zhu" has always filled him, and even governed his actions.

So much so that even in the first building room, he was deeply disturbed by strange hallucinations, and the two of us experienced the attack together, after the headless skull of the wooden bed that instantly turned into an ice cellar. still has the courage to continue to explore, I have to say that half of his own bravery is accounted for, and the other half is inseparable from the attraction of "Yang Suizhu"!

The experience inside the two buildings makes it difficult for me to describe this underground palace as an ancient tomb in the traditional sense, not to mention the supernatural flowers in the two rooms and the temperature change of the ice cellar in an instant, first of all, the tomb form of the dynasty is different from the traditional record, and there will be no burial pit in any tomb of the Han Dynasty where Zhao Tuo is located.

My suggestion was only made for the sake of wanting to put it forward, and even I would not agree to it if it was actually implemented.

Human beings are born with the spirit of exploration, otherwise there would be no moon landing program, expansion plan for outer space.

Thinking about this, I dusted off the compressed biscuit crumbs that had fallen off my body and got up in a posture that seemed to embrace a better life.

The fat man is still stuffing the food, in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether the food is delicious or not, the important thing is the portion.

Seeing me get up, he barely swallowed what was in his mouth, and asked in a fairly clear voice: "What kind of Comrade Xiao Su, after eating, you are ready to start work?" ”

I nodded in response and looked around.

The doors of the two buildings we had opened were wide open, and the darkness inside seemed to reveal endless temptation, and after I looked twice, I unconsciously stepped towards one of them!

"Su Mo! What are you doing? ”

After discovering my weirdness, the fat man screamed loudly, which stopped me.

This kind of strange place is difficult for a person to explore alone, otherwise my actions just now will cause me to confess here, or become fertilizer for the flowers on the other side of the pit, or become a boneless and horrible corpse paralyzed in the corner!

"Don't look at those two rooms, put on a gas mask!"

I reminded.

The fat man, wearing a gas mask, cursed:

"Fuck it, Lao Tzu has found out, all the changes here are to put people to death.

When I first fell into a hallucination, why didn't those girl-like flowers come up to haunt me! Instead, I got out of the hallucinations, and they appeared!

This is a living tomb with a soul! ”

I understand what the fat man meant, and indeed as he said, everything here revolves around the way people are killed.

Every time we escape a catastrophe, a new situation arises that leads us to the abyss of death.

Hallucinating, attacking flowers on the other side, instantly melting the temperature of the ice cellar, the invisible power that attracts my steps............

As for what unimaginable calamities we will encounter after we continue to advance towards the depths of the underground palace, we don't know at this moment.

But now that it's been decided to continue, there's no reason to retreat.

I have a lot of cowardice in my temperament, but I'm not a coward! There is still a bloody kind of existence! I can be sure that it must be my inherited father, who, though cowardly, was able to make the decision to separate his head from his body!

For the second uncle to arrange for me and the fat man to enter this underground palace, I don't think the purpose is as simple as simply "training" me.

They must be trying to let me know or want me to know something, of course, for the official heir of "Touching the Golden Captain", the fat man, is naturally much more experienced than me.

In many cases, my judgment of the dungeon is based solely on the experience of these years, which is not yet very mature, half-baked archaeology.

Compared with the "Golden Captain" who has been engaged in "underground activities" for many years, my major is more than inferior.

In addition to the two treacherous and strange rooms with wide open doors, there are two more buildings on the left side of the road and three on the right.

At this time, it was already 10:05 p.m., and a full sixteen hours had passed since I arrived here from Dao County!

In these sixteen hours, what I experienced was almost interlocking, with no respite.

In addition to the sensory impact of the grand spectacle of uncharted territory here, I also have a real professional as a teammate by my side.

These are things that I didn't think about before I set off, and even if I had some expectations, the current experience is completely beyond my imagination.

I exchanged glances with the fat man, and then looked to the left, adjacent to the burial pit room.

Before we get ready for action, the fat man reminds in his trademark narrative:

"Comrade Xiao Su, on the importance of equipment at this moment, I think you should put away your close-range dagger."

He is right, the size of this dagger is too short, and this weapon of mine will not be of use at all in case of unexpected situations, such as those attacking flowers.

It's like the hallucinatory scene when I was hanging on the cliff and was hallucinated by the flowers on the other side of the cliff. The flowers that grew around my body didn't do much until they completely enveloped me, and my dagger didn't do much.

"Fatty, although I understand the truth, something is better than nothing!"

I said to him with a helpless expression.

"Yes, yes, what you said is not unreasonable, then I will give you a few "Gamba Beans", if necessary, this "Gamba Bean" can make you experience the feeling of returning to the sky. ”

The fat man looked at my helpless narration and took out two spherical objects from his bag as he spoke, with fuses on them.

I recognized the identity of this thing at a glance, it was actually two homemade grenades.

Seeing that I reached out and took the grenade, the fat man asked again: "How is it, can this "Ganba bean" be used?" ”

I looked at the two homemade grenades in my hand, touched the fuse, and looked at the fat man with an inquiring look.

"That's right! In an emergency, just gently pull the two threads on the head of this "gamba bean", and the movement you want will appear instantly. ”

The fat man explained seriously.

I carefully put two homemade grenades in my pocket, and there was a trap wedge next to the fuse, and the "gampa bean" in the fat man's mouth would not explode automatically until the little thing was pulled out.

With these two weapons of sufficient weight, my heart is indeed more confident than when I only had daggers.

Then we walked slowly towards the third building that we had chosen!
