Episode 3: Missing Suspicions

This almost unheard-of way of constructing it stumped us at once, not to mention where these deep holes connected and what was inside; Even if we all go separately, it won't be enough to stuff it, not to mention that this is not a sewer, we didn't bring relevant tools and equipment to the ground this time, the ancient tomb tunnel, who knows what will be in it, I'm afraid that even the tomb robbers will encounter this battle, and they don't dare to mess with the book of life and death.

After all, Professor Qian had some knowledge, and after holding a searchlight to check them one by one, he returned to everyone, and said tremblingly: "These tomb insights are clear-sighted, they should all be artificially excavated, but they can't be seen at a glance, and there is no material knowledge around that can provide screening, which is a little difficult to do." ”

I saw that he looked melancholy, and I also knew that things were tricky, Deputy Director He didn't answer when he heard this, but Captain Li opened his mouth first.

"Director He, I don't think these tombs are small, why don't we go out in two groups and tie ropes to see them one by one?"

Team Li has always liked flattery, Deputy He is obviously a deputy, he always shouts as a proper job intentionally or unintentionally, Deputy He doesn't say anything about him, and the rest of the team doesn't bother to provoke him in order not to make a fuss, I don't say anything, but I despise him in my heart.

I looked at the dozen or so big holes in front of me and my heart sank, as Captain Li said, the scale of the hole is indeed enough for two people to squat and walk in front of the back, the scale is no problem, but it looks very strange - eleven tomb caves, six are below, five are slightly higher, all of them are wrong and chiseled, and the arrangement is very regular. In this case, as long as the brain has not been caught by the door, anyone can see that there is definitely a problem, and it is still a problem that cannot be ignored.

As an aside, despite the thrilling and thrilling stories written in the tomb robbery novels, in the real excavation and archaeological work, there has never been an archaeological team in the process of excavating the ancient tombs that can also launch and then hurt people's news, the only thing that can make people in the industry talk about is the legendary mercury river in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and even if there is really this water galaxy, no one has seen it. Anyone who does archaeology knows that this excavation of ancient tombs is afraid of swamp poison, two is afraid of collapse, three is afraid of officialdom, and four is afraid of tomb robbers.

This concept once ran through my short career in archaeology, and it wasn't until many years later that I realized that it was a lie to say that I had never seen it; I haven't encountered it, but someone helped me block it.

I looked closely at the arrangement of those tombs, and I suddenly had an indescribable feeling of boredom in my heart, and I didn't know if it was an attack of intensive phobia, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say what was wrong, I pondered for a long time and didn't think it through, and then I simply didn't look at it, anyway, there were leaders present, and I obeyed the arrangement.

Captain Li's proposal, Professor Qian didn't agree with it, after all, the old man had been doing academic work all his life and was used to being rigorous, so he proposed to turn around and go back with enough manpower and equipment to talk about things; Deputy Director He was born in a military family, how could he bear this Laoshizi toss, and his thoughts were basically the same as that of Captain Li, who was like a chicken, and immediately waved his hand and agreed to do so. Since the team is responsible for the preservation of Captain Li and Lao Zhou, they can only separate one person and bring one archaeological team member into the cave to investigate; I count one of the four professionals, Xiao Chen counts one, Brother Zhao counts one, and there is a girl surnamed Cao. This point, the girl was excluded, Xiao Chen was a newbie who was newer than me, so naturally Captain Li took me, and Lao Zhou took Brother Zhao to explore the caves separately.

Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to take the rope and stuck it in the buckle on my waist. The front of this rope is tied around the waist of Captain Li, and the back is tied with a slipknot stuck in the buckle on the ground, and the end is still in Xiao Chen's hand, once something happens, the rope is struggling, and the buckle on the ground will directly snap the slipknot of the rope into a dead knot. Once ready, the two groups began to divide their work.

What kind of situation will there be inside the eleventh cave of this Liao Tomb, I followed Captain Li behind me and imagined no less than a hundred, all kinds of thrills, all kinds of excitement, I thought about it, but as a result, the two groups of people tinkered for nearly two hours and found nothing, our group was faster, the last five and the next one more investigated, Lao Zhou's group also touched the remaining five below, and returned to the fan-shaped room to total, everyone was shocked to find that these eleven seemingly bottomless tombs were not only neat and clean, but also were sealed tightly, and there was no way to live.

This result was unexpected, but for a while, everyone couldn't figure out the ugliness. In view of the fact that we did not have any usable equipment in our hands, Deputy Director He beckoned everyone to go home first, and the current situation on the east side of Yongdao was put aside for the time being, and then we would make a decision tomorrow when we looked at the west side.

The depths of the blue brick tomb are sealed by copper juice and molten iron, this situation is quite strange, and even sealing eleven holes is even more incomprehensible. I thought about something, and followed the back of the group, all talking, the beams of the searchlights swaying wildly in the not-so-narrow corridor. I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any clue so I didn't think about it again, looking at the backs of a few people in front of me and concentrating on the road, thinking about returning to the camp to see what was going on with Xiao Wang, but just looking at it, a chill suddenly came to my heart.

At first, I thought I was dazzled, and I looked at the people walking in front of me again and again, and then I hurriedly grabbed Captain Li and said:

"Team Li, there is a situation!"

Hearing me shout like this, even Deputy Director He, who was at the front of the team, stopped talking, and a group of people looked at me with a brush, not knowing what was going on. Captain Li wondered:

"So?"

"The number of people is wrong!" I spoke urgently.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, as if they didn't understand what I was talking about, and I quickly swept it twice with my searchlight, and my heart was even more furious.

"What about Cao Xue?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Captain Li looked at Deputy Director He and then at me, scratched his head, and said to me with a little embarrassment, "Xiao, Xiao Tang, what are you talking about in this black light?" What Cao Xue? Who is Cao Xue? ”

"Huh? What is Cao Xue? I was stunned when I heard this, obviously I didn't understand what he said, and subconsciously asked Team Li, who was full of suspicion, with a confused face.

Team Li was also stunned, and probably didn't understand what I was talking about, so he had to helplessly set his eyes on Deputy Director He. Deputy Director He was already pale at this time, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were shining, and he was staring at me with a frown; I reacted immediately and hurriedly explained:

"No, what I'm talking about is that Cao Xue who came down with us just now, with short hair and melon seed face, the SC girl who is responsible for exploring geological rock formations."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people who were still full of doubts all changed suddenly, as if they had seen a ghost, and involuntarily retreated, looking at me as if they were looking at a powerful ghost that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and for a while the tunnel was so quiet that the needle could be heard.

Seeing everyone like this, I was even more anxious, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you tell her to stay outside when you were in the group just now? When I followed Team Li in and out of the three tombs, I also saw her standing next to Xiao Chen, what about people now? What are your expressions? ”

As soon as the words landed, Xiao Chen in the crowd trembled, his expression was as ugly as a dead father, and he trembled and said: "Tang, Brother Tang, you, you, don't scare me, I ......"

I saw that he was sifting all over, and he was almost speechless, and he was even more confused, what is the situation? What is the reaction of these people to the disappearance of such a big living person?

I was still in doubt and couldn't figure out the situation, Deputy Director He had already paced in front of me in three steps and two steps, looked at me carefully for a while, and looked at me with a hairy heart, and at the end, he faintly, seemed to squeeze out such a sentence from between his teeth.

"The team has always been seven people, all men, no girls."

Deputy Director He paused word by word, and the words were cut through the wall and pierced the ears, and what I said suddenly became a slap in my heart, as if I had been slapped in the face, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time. I couldn't believe my ears, and after a while, I said, "What? No? No girls? ”

Dozens of personnel in the archaeological team, except for characters like Deputy Captain He and Professor Qian, the rest of the personnel are basically young people, young people, they are quite playful, and everyone will engage in pranks and adjust boring work after work, which is not surprising. Seeing that everyone didn't answer, I thought everyone was joking with me, so I adjusted my expression slightly, smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me, where are you hiding Cao Xue?" Or let her go back first? After asking, I pretended to shout a few times, "Cao Xue, Cao Xue?" ”

"Shut up!"

Deputy Director He, who was in front of him, suddenly changed his face at this time, and shouted loudly. I was so drunk that my scalp was numb, I didn't dare to make a sound, and then I swept away everyone's expressions, and then I realized that the situation was wrong, and a chill immediately rushed down my feet and neck and rushed up my scalp. Before I could say anything, Deputy Captain He gave Team Li and Lao Zhou a look, and the two of them understood, walked to my side together, and couldn't help but open the bow left and right to set me up.

"Huh? Ay? What is this for? Ay? ”

I immediately panicked, and just about to defend myself, Deputy Director He turned around with gloomy eyes and squeezed out a word.

"Let's go."

I don't remember the rest very clearly, I only know that out of the ancient tomb, I was immediately treated as a mental illness by the accompanying medical staff, locked in a medical tent to patrol the pulse, pour medicine, catch needles, and make a full noon, Captain Li and the clay sculpture also guarded me all day. I really couldn't stand it, and the next day I panicked and said that the air in the underground tomb was thin, and I had hallucinations before I said nonsense, and swore and promised, and the Li team released me from the medical tent, and Deputy Director He ordered me to rest for a day before returning to work, I lost my temper, received the punishment, and went back to the temporary tent used as a dormitory.

So far, I haven't figured out what happened in that dark and deep corridor, joining the archaeological team to explore and excavate the ancient tomb is the third year this year, and I really haven't encountered anything extraordinary along the way, but this time it is very weird.

Who is Cao Xue?
