Chapter 38: Something is wrong
I saw that it was Cai Changsheng who broke through the wall, everyone was surprised and delighted, and when they reunited at this moment, everyone had a lot of questions to ask.
I heard Cai Changsheng say that he found the thief hole on the slope of the top of the mountain, and he came here through the thief hole, for this I am not very surprised by the monkey, what I am most concerned about at the moment is the scream before and the cutting of our climbing rope.
Also eager to know about this were Huang Shaoze and Wen Chengyu, only to hear Wen Chengyu ask: "Lao Cai, what happened on the top of the mountain before, that scream...... And our climbing rope ......"
Before Wen Chengyu finished asking, he was stopped by Cai Changsheng stretching out his hand: "I know what you want to ask, I'll tell you later!" ”
Cai Changsheng squatted down again as he spoke, he began to carefully look at the hole that she had pierced just now, through the headlamp, he looked up and down around the hole, he seemed to be looking for something.
Then he picked up a handful of dirt from the ground with his fingers, first he put it in his palm and looked at it in front of his eyes, then he put his nose up and sniffed it.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw it, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
I saw Cai Changsheng's series of movements, and I felt a sigh in my heart, wondering if what he was pondering at the moment was the same thing as what I had doubted before.
"I saw a dark shadow at the top of the mountain!" Cai Changsheng said suddenly, he was still squatting and smelling the dirt in his hands.
"Dark Shadow?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Huang Shaoze immediately chased: "What black shadow, is it a human or a ghost?" ”
"It's the one who sent the scream!" Cai Changsheng put the soil in his hand in a small plastic bag and put it in the pocket of his clothes, then stood up and continued: "At the top of the mountain, I was about to go down the cliff with my equipment on my back, but when I turned around, I saw a black shadow standing on the edge of the cliff, I can be sure that it is a person!"
"Who is it? Do you see the appearance clearly? Wen Chengyu couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't see it clearly!" Cai Changsheng shook his head and continued: "It was raining so hard that my headlamp couldn't shine on his face at all!" Because...... He's dressed quirky! ”
"Dressed in odd ways? What's the weird method? I asked, curious.
Cai Changsheng paused and continued: "When I saw this black shadow, I was really startled, I immediately looked at his figure through the headlamp, only to see that he was wearing a black leather coat, a pair of semi-new black leather shoes, and a slightly rolled old-fashioned Western hat, he lowered his head, and the rain was too heavy, so I couldn't see his face!" ”
Listening to Cai Changsheng's description, I actually felt a little familiar, this shape ...... I think I've seen it!
"Did he cut the rope? And what's going on with the screams? Wen Chengyu asked again.
Cai Changsheng said: "At that time, I saw him with his head down and motionless, so I shouted at him, who knew that at this time, a dagger suddenly burst out of his cuffs, he picked up the dagger and cut at the two climbing ropes, at the same time, he raised his head and seemed to look at me, his face happened to be illuminated by my headlamp, and at this moment, he suddenly screamed like crazy, and then rushed to the bottom of the hillside. ”
After listening to Cai Changsheng's narration, everyone was even more confused, why did that person cut our rope, and why did he suddenly go crazy, is he a madman?
Cai Changsheng continued: "I chased in the direction where the man rushed downhill, and after a few steps, the man disappeared, but I found the thief hole!" ”
Cai Changsheng suddenly frowned when he said this, this action was fleeting, and everyone may not have paid attention to it, but it was captured by me. I have a strange feeling, Cai Changsheng's words...... Something seems to be hidden!
At this time, the monkey who had been silently on the side also asked Cai Changsheng: "I said Captain Cai, did you find anything in the thief cave, you seem to be very interested in the soil that fell from you just now!" ”
Cai Changsheng replied: "I didn't find anything else, it's just that I seemed to ask for a fragrance in the cave, I originally thought it was mixed with the soil on the cave wall, but I smelled it just now, but I didn't smell it, and now I can't tell why, so I have to collect the soil and take it for testing when I go out in the future." ”
……
After talking with Cai Changsheng for a long time, there seems to be no progress in the previous questions, and it is estimated that there is no result in talking about it. So Huang Shaoze briefly talked to Cai Changsheng about our situation here.
Now in front of us are the bodies of two dead archaeological team members, a robbery cave that leads to the ground, and an undercurrent that can enter the depths of the ancient tomb. How to choose, you have to decide, no one can guarantee that the mechanism here will not be inadvertently triggered by us.
In fact, there is no need to ask about this choice, everyone has already made a decision. Cai Changsheng and the others came to look for the last group of team members this time, and now they find that two team members are dead, and the other are missing, they have to move on, whether they can find it or not, this is the mission of their group.
For me, Yu Qi said that I came to find my father, but it is better to solve the mystery in my heart, although it is dangerous to go deep into the ancient tomb, but this time there are so many people as companions, even if there is any danger, the heavy weapons on our bodies should be enough to resist, if you are discouraged from the thief cave at this moment, lose the face of Captain Jin, not to mention, miss this opportunity, I am afraid there will be no next time.
So, we didn't have to discuss it and came to a consensus...... Keep moving!
Everyone entered the stone gate corresponding to the "Shengmen", and after the stone gate was a step made of bluestone more than one meter wide, with smooth stone walls on both sides of the steps, and the spiral extended deep into the ground!
At this moment, Wen Chengyu led the team in front, and he took out some of the instruments and equipment, the Heaven and Earth Xuanpan in his hand, the harmful gas analyzer in his waist, and the metal detector on his back...... With him, a mechanical engineer, opening the road in front, the safety factor suddenly increased a lot, and everyone felt a lot more steady.
Wen Chengyu was followed by Cai Changsheng, and the others followed closely in turn.
We walked down the stairs for about half an hour, and after an arc-shaped turn, the stairs began to fork in the road, and what appeared in front of us was a three-way crossing!
When everyone saw it, they all stopped, and the three roads ...... Which one should I take?
The monkey saw it and shouted: "Hey, I say, don't rush forward, everyone, among these three forks, one is the way we came in, and only one of the other two must be true, and the other must be a trap, but don't go wrong!" ”
"This fucking bullshit still uses you!" I glanced at the monkey and said, "Someone is here, what are you talking about!" ”
As I spoke, I glanced at Wen Chengyu again, and saw that he, Cai Changsheng and Huang Shaoze were carefully looking at the entrances of the other two forks, and they seemed to be looking for something!
Before I could go up and ask, I heard Wen Chengyu suddenly say: "Yes, it's this!" ”
When they heard this, they immediately came forward, and saw that on the wall at the entrance of one of the forks, there were two red arrows drawn, one pointing to the inside of the fork, and the other pointing to the road we had just come down on.
"This is the mark left by the old captain!" Cai Changsheng immediately explained to me and the monkey: "This is our habit, generally when we encounter a fork, we will draw two arrows at the entrance before entering, one arrow points to the inside of the entrance, one can be convenient for oneself to know which road is walked, and the other is to let the people behind know the whereabouts of the people in front." The other arrow points to the way we came in, so that we can know that this is the way out when we come out! These three forks are the easiest way to confuse our sense of direction! ”
When I heard it with the monkey, it suddenly dawned on me, but I didn't expect that this marking is also a science! It seems that the first group of team members should still be in the depths of the ancient tomb!
Then we entered the alley with the arrows on it. The steps in the corridor still descend gracefully, but they no longer extend downward in a spiral, and the change of direction no longer seems to have a pattern at all.
The group walked down the stairs for about an hour, and after a ninety-degree turn, another three-way intersection appeared before our eyes.
Cai Changsheng: As before, they began to look for marks at the entrance of the fork again, and sure enough, they found it at one of the entrances.
"Here it is! I found it! But ......" Huang Shaoze said immediately, his tone seemed a little hesitant.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately went up again, and when I saw the two arrows at the entrance, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and saw that one arrow pointed to the inside of this fork in the road, and the other pointed not to the road we had just come down from, but to the other entrance in the three forks!
What the hell is going on, how is the arrow pointing outward in the wrong direction, won't the person who goes in think that road is the exit when he comes out, but obviously that road is obviously fake, obviously a trap!
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the sealed thief cave in the stone chamber before, and these two things will immediately be associated together, and with a little scrutiny, I will find that something is wrong!
