Chapter 1: Tragic Death
30 years ago, in a stone room deep under the ground of Kunlun Mountain, three Tufuzi held torches and were guarding in front of a sarcophagus. There was silence in the stone chamber, except for the "boom" of the burning torches.
"Big ...... Bearded! Open...... Can't open the coffin? A young man with glasses finally couldn't help but ask.
"Open! Must open! The voice of the person who replied was low, his eyes were deep, and his face was full of beards, which was the beard in the mouth of the glasses.
The young man put his hand on the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "But... But if there is a ...... in it There's that thing, but it's like ...... How to be good! ”
Another tall man said: "Hurry up and open the coffin, don't be verbose, what's there to be afraid of, the guy on Lao Tzu's back has been stopped for a while, today is just to try the firepower!" As he spoke, he plunged the torch into the crack in the wall and removed a crooked machine gun from his back, and with a "click" the bullet was loaded, and the tall man stepped back and bowed, raised the butt of the gun on his cheek, and pointed the muzzle of the gun directly at the sarcophagus.
The bearded man smiled deeply: "It's time, we've been looking for too long, we can't wait any longer!" As he spoke, he held the steel chisel in his hand and plunged it into the crack of the coffin.
Seeing this, the glasses immediately retreated behind the tall man, only to see him trembling all over, grabbing the corners of the tall man's clothes tightly, only daring to stretch his head out from under the tall man's arms, not daring to look directly at the sarcophagus.
The tall man didn't pay attention to the glasses, his hand was holding a machine gun, his eyes were blazing, staring at the sarcophagus and not daring to relax a little, and a cold sweat had broken out on his forehead at some point.
The bearded man had inserted the steel chisel into the sarcophagus, he took a deep breath, pressed the steel chisel and pried it, only to see that the steel chisel was slippery, and it was out of the coffin without any force.
As soon as the glasses and the tall man saw each other, they all let out a long breath, and the nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed.
The bearded man coughed dryly: "Dog's day, pry off, come again!" With that, he inserted the steel chisel into the crack of the coffin again.
This time, the bearded man saw the angle, and without waiting for the glasses and the tall man to prepare, he made another prying. I only heard a "boom", and the coffin lid was directly pried over by the beard and fell to the ground.
The bearded man immediately took a step back, took out a pistol from his waist, and pointed it directly at the coffin from the side. The crooked handle in the tall man's hand is always dead against the sarcophagus, as long as he pulls the trigger, a shuttle bullet will all be fired into the sarcophagus. The two formed a left-right attack, just waiting for the things in the coffin to appear.
The glasses had already hid ten meters away, and when they saw the two of them in such a formation, they were so frightened that they dared to hide outside the door of the stone room and did not dare to approach.
A quarter of an hour passed, and there was no movement in the sarcophagus, and the bearded man and the tall man raised their guns so numb that they glanced at each other and made eye contact.
At this time, the bearded man raised the torch in one hand and the pistol in the other, and slowly approached the sarcophagus, and the tall man followed closely when he saw this. At this time, the glasses outside the door were also holding torches, and they were watching what happened in front of them.
The bearded man walked up to the sarcophagus and slowly poked the torch into the coffin, pointing the gun in his and the tall man's hands at the same time.
Suddenly, the torches illuminated the sarcophagus clearly, and the bearded and tall faces showed a look of horror almost at the same time, no one expected that this was an empty coffin, and there was nothing in the sarcophagus, neither what they were afraid of, nor what they were looking for.
"Fuck, nothing, how could it be!" The tall man's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he was complaining to relieve his nervous feelings.
The bearded man did not speak, but kept staring inside the sarcophagus, giving the illusion that as long as he stared at the empty coffin, he could wait for the contents to be revealed.
Suddenly, the ice was broken by an exclamation from the glasses at the door of the stone chamber. Both the bearded and the tall man were taken aback! Immediately looked back at the glasses.
I saw that the glasses were pale and stiff, staring straight in the direction of the tall man, as if he had seen something terrible.
The tall man was stared at by the glasses a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What's it called!" What are you doing staring at me? ”
"Quick...... Look! You...... The wall behind you...... On the walls! Your ...... Shadow" glasses' voice trembled, and he raised his arm to point to the wall behind the tall man, his eyes full of horror.
The tall man and bearded man immediately looked in the direction of the glasses. At this look, the tall man's face suddenly changed greatly, and his legs trembled with fright, and he almost didn't stand firmly. Even the bearded man's face showed a rare look of horror.
On the wall, a tall figure was hunched up, strangled by a rope-like thing and hanging in the air, and swaying from side to side, just to show the picture of a man hanging himself.
The tall man was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, and saw the shadow on the wall move with it, but the rope-like thing was still there.
At this time, the bearded man immediately looked at the roof of the stone chamber, and saw a rope-like thing sticking out of the roof and hanging upside down in the air.
The bearded man immediately understood, the torch in the stone crack in the wall was used as a light source, and the firelight projected the roots hanging on the top plate and the shadow of the tall man on the opposite wall, the position where the tall man stood just now was too clever, and the shadows of the two intersected at the neck of the tall man, and the tall man's neck seemed to be strangled, and the shadow shook with the shaking of the flames, which caused the weird and terrifying scene before!
Soon, the tall man and the glasses also reacted one after another, only to realize that what scared him half to death was a clever and strange combination of shadows.
Still, the picture was so realistic that the tall man was still apprehensive, and he stepped forward and kicked the torch off the wall, and suddenly the shadow of himself and the roots of the tree on the opposite wall disappeared.
The spirit was tense before the coffin was opened, and the great disappointment after the coffin was opened, a false alarm at this time, and the momentum of the three of them exploring the cave and searching for treasure had disappeared by half.
The tall man scolded: "Damn, this time it's really a busy job, and I haven't found anything!" ”
The bearded man looked around, sighed, and his face no longer had the spirit of the previous past: "Alas, that's it, it's just that, the matter has come to this, and I can only go home!" The bearded man sighed again after speaking, his face was pale, and he was full of fatigue and loss.
The glasses outside the door trembled and stepped forward and said, "Hurry up...... Let's go, this place ...... This place is not clean! ”
When the tall man heard this, he scolded: "What is clean or not, we are afraid of these when we come to rob the tomb!" You fucking yell! ”
The glasses were choked by the tall man, and he looked at the bearded man, who was packing up his tools and preparing to retreat.
At this moment, suddenly, the glasses screamed again, the bearded man and the tall man were startled again, only to see the glasses face was pale and the expression was extremely frightened, and his legs and feet were weak for a while and he fell directly to the ground, he dragged his trembling body straight back, his lips kept trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
The bearded man and the tall man instinctively looked at the opposite wall at the same time, thinking that the glasses had seen some terrible shadow again.
At this time, the opposite wall was pitch black and there was nothing, and the tall man had kicked over the torch before, so naturally there would be no shadow, so what was the glasses scared into looking like this? The bearded and tall man was also a little nervous for a while! They looked around again.
Suddenly, the bearded man frowned, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back, followed by the tall man, and almost at the same time, the muzzle of the gun in their hands was pointed in one direction, it was the sarcophagus.
At some point, there was a black shadow standing at the mouth of the sarcophagus, the black shadow was motionless, and its face could not be distinguished, but one thing was certain, the black shadow must have come out of the sarcophagus.
The bearded man and the tall man didn't dare to move at the black shadow with their guns, the guns had been safed, but no one dared to pull the trigger, so they confronted the black shadow.
Suddenly, the bearded man shouted, "Run!" Then he rushed towards the door, and the tall man immediately reacted, and then rushed out of the stone door, and the glasses on the ground were numb in his legs and feet for a while, and he was so anxious that he trembled but couldn't move, and watched the two disappear into the passage outside the door one after another.
The bearded man and the tall man returned all the way along the thief hole they had dug before, and it took more than ten hours to finally get back to the ground, their torches and flashlights had already been thrown into the ground in a panic, and it was night, and it was dark outside the cave entrance, and only a few sparse wolf howls were heard in the roar of the wind. The two of them gasped for breath, rejoicing that they had escaped this time.
After a short rest, the breath of the two gradually calmed down. Without lighting, the two of them could only smear each other.
At this time, one of them suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Oops, the glasses are still in there and haven't come out, but now it's dead!" The man who spoke was tall, and that's when he remembered his glasses.
"It's just that he is to blame, so that if he doesn't come, he has to follow!" Another voice replied.
The tall man gasped when he heard this, he immediately took out half a box of matches from his clothes pocket, and immediately drew one out in a panic, and immediately drew it, and suddenly, I saw that the tall man was pale, his lips and teeth trembled, and he vaguely heard him say: "What...... How is ...... Be...... You! Before the tall man finished speaking, his legs weakened and he fell directly from the break......
The bearded man searched for the tall man near the cave all night, but he did not find a single hair, and it was not until the next morning that he found the tall man's body in a tree at the bottom of the hillside.
The moment he saw the tall corpse, the bearded man froze, only to see him sitting on the ground with his legs limp and paralyzed, his face dull and expressionless, I don't know whether he was overly sad or frightened.
I saw that the tall corpse was strangled by a tree vine and was hanging from a tree under the hillside, the corpse swayed from side to side in the wind, extremely cruel, his eyes were wide open, his face was twisted and hideous, he was actually strangled to death, the picture was exactly the same as the shadow on the wall in the stone room......
