Chapter 71: Empty Tomb Booby-Trap
"Dead dog, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me? "When I saw the dead dog's expression change suddenly, I couldn't help but be frightened.
But the dead dog ignored me and shone a flashlight at the bottom of the hole. I was amazed to see that the rope that he and I had just followed down was now in a mess and scattered in the cemetery.
His face was like ashes, he turned his face to me, and said slowly, "Ling Sen, we have all been fooled, and no one wants to leave here alive." β
I was taken aback, took a few steps back, clenched my fists and said, "Dead dog, what do you mean?" You and Fang Wei tricked me here, did you want to kill me in this ancient tomb? β
The dead dog shone a flashlight on the tomb, and said miserably: "Ling Sen, look at this ancient tomb, what else is in it besides the coffin?" β
I followed his flashlight and blurted out, "In addition to the coffin, there are only some bottles and cans underground." Could it be that you mean the dead man in this coffin? β
The dead dog said hatefully: "Ling Sen, are you pretending to be stupid or are you scared stupid?" Can't you see that? This ancient tomb has long been stolen, and judging from the tomb chamber and the clay pots scattered on the ground, this is just a tomb from the Republic of China period, and it is not valuable. β
I was astonished, not knowing what he meant, but I had a vague sense that something was wrong, because I remembered what he had said earlier that I had both been fooled.
The dead dog sighed and said, "Ling Sen, have you seen that rope?" According to our rules of robbing tombs, if we don't leave after robbing the tomb, this rope is our lifeline, once we fall, if the robbery hole is straight up and down, we will never be able to get out again. β
I was surprised and asked, "Dead dog, could it be that you didn't tie it when you tied it to the tree?" When the two of us went down to the hole, the rope buckle gradually loosened, and then it fell. β
The dead dog snorted and said, "Ling Sen, you also underestimate my dead dog, right?" In this radius of hundreds of miles, among the fellow tomb robbers, who dares to say that they are better than me? The knots I have tied will never loosen on their own. β
I said, "Ahhh Suddenly, I suddenly understood, and asked the dead dog in horror: "Dead dog, do you mean that Fang Wei did something on it?" β
Fang Wei ...... Fang Wei: "I shouted desperately, but there was no movement on it. The dead dog hung his head and said, "Ling Sen, don't shout. In this barren mountain range, if you shout in your throat, no one will hear you. β
I still had a hint of luck and said, "Dead dog, isn't Fang Wei still on top?" Maybe he's just trying to pee or something, and he's not at the entrance of the cave, and maybe he'll hear us shouting when he's back and will find a way to get us up. β
The dead dog frowned and said, "Ling Sen, you're too naΓ―ve, aren't you?" If this tomb is full of jewels and antiques, I can believe that what you say is true. But look, what else is in this tomb? This is obviously a tomb of the Republic of China that has been stolen, and it is almost worthless. β
"Fang Wei set a trap and tricked the two of us into this ancient tomb, the purpose was to kill the two of us. This rope was naturally deliberately untied and thrown down by him. β
I could hardly believe my ears, could this really be a ruse set up by Fang Wei? But what does he want to kill me? And why do you want the dead dog to die with me?
I was in a state of confusion when I suddenly heard a sad laugh coming from the entrance of the thief's cave above. Although I could already hear that this was Fang Wei's voice, the words of the dead dog made me can't believe that Fang Wei was here to save us, and I couldn't help but feel creepy.
Fang Wei laughed for a while, and said proudly: "Dead dog, you are an old Jianghu after all, as soon as you see this situation, you will understand what is going on." Hehe, I'll pull Ling Sen's back for you, you will have a companion when you die, and you won't feel lonely. β
The enemy of my enemy is my friend! At this moment, I feel that I myself have been tied to the fate of the dead dog, and the common enemy we have to deal with is Fang Wei.
I shouted angrily: "Fang Wei, I have no grudge against you, why do you calculate me so ruthlessly? β
Fang Wei said slowly: "Ling Sen, if I don't make up a good story, how can you be willing to enter this ancient tomb?" If you don't go down, can the dead dog be fooled? β
I suddenly felt my heart pounding, and scolded angrily: "Fang Wei, you dog-mother-raised." So you want to kill the dog, but why are you calculating me? Isn't Dead Dog Your Good Brother? β
Fang Wei said coldly: "Ling Sen, don't worry. It's still early, and no one in the mountains will come, so I can still talk to you. β
The dead dog said hatefully: "Ling Sen, what nonsense are you talking to him?" Do you really think he'll be able to find another rope to put down? Alas, it was also my momentary carelessness that I fell into his trap. β
The dead dog told me that the tomb robbers usually work alone or in groups. Needless to say, if you do it alone; The gang does it, and everyone has a clear division of labor.
The person who receives the person above the cemetery is generally the most trusted person of the tomb robbers, basically a father and son or a brother, and it is impossible for someone who is not related by blood to do this work.
This rule in the world of tomb robbery was set after learning many tragic lessons. This is because those who receive them above have to bring up the basket of treasures before they finally pull up those who have descended into the tomb.
If there are many treasures in the ancient tomb, the person in charge of receiving them on it has no blood relationship, and when he sees that there are so many treasures from the bottom of the tomb, he will basically be red-eyed and want to swallow this treasure alone.
It was too easy for them to get rid of their accomplices who might have a piece of the pie, as simple as cutting or retracting the ropes. It is basically impossible for the people below to climb up and down the thief hole with their bare hands.
Even if the gang below shouted in the tomb, because the ancient tomb is generally in a sparsely populated place, and no one even passes through the entrance of the cave for several days or months, and because the sound is difficult to reach far through the narrow entrance of the cave, so when the next group of tomb robbers found the people who had come before, they had already died of lack of oxygen, lack of water, or starvation inside.
In this tomb of the Republic of China, there is no treasure, which proves that there have been tomb robbers in front of him. And the fact that no body of the tomb robber was found in the tomb chamber means that?
Everything Fang Wei said was a lie! He had already set his hands on this ancient tomb, leaving an empty tomb and making up a strange story to trick me and the dead dog into the tomb, making this tomb the place where I and the dead dog died.
As an experienced tomb robber, Dead Dog had already seen his fate when he saw the scene in front of him, so he didn't say a word to beg Fang Wei, but kept cursing Fang Wei loudly.
