Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Pheasant Is Dead

(There's another chapter around four o'clock.) In addition, everyone has their own role, and some people's role is to wake you up from sleep ==)

"You'll survive." He Tao looked into the eyes of the pheasant.

"Brother Tao, my family will trouble you." The pheasant closed his eyes after speaking. "And Haonan's family."

"I see." He Tao said. If He Tao was still emotionally involved when he spoke just now, then now he has completely calmed down when he speaks. This kind of spirit of seeing through life and death stunned me. To be honest, I can totally imagine what happened next. But subconsciously I resisted.

"Brother Tao, the pheasant left first." Pheasant said. After that, he didn't say a word, but the Adam's apple rolled slightly.

"Brother, go all the way." After He Tao finished speaking, he silently took off his clothes and wrapped them around his hands. Then cover the face of the pheasant.

After three minutes, the pheasant stopped struggling.

For an extremely weak person who has lost too much blood, three minutes, just three minutes can suffocate him.

Those three minutes are too long. I turned my back to look at it, but the "whining" sound in my throat as the pheasant struggled reached my ears. My mind is full of images of pheasants kicking their feet on the ground due to lack of oxygen, and I can even imagine the pained expression of the pheasant underneath his clothes.

I suddenly felt Ali in my arms grab my hand hard, and bury her face deeper in my chest.

I hugged Ali hard. It wasn't until He Tao let go of her with a long breath.

I already have five red finger prints on my arm.

The pheasant is dead, so the inner ghost may be Ali or He Tao.

I was stunned by the thought that popped into my head - when would I be able to think so calmly?

He Tao sat down on the ground, took a few deep breaths, got up again, put on his clothes, and then glanced at the two ghost boys squatting in the doorway.

"What now?" I asked Ali.

Ali didn't seem to have recovered from the situation just now. I felt her face rubbing against my chest, as if I couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm just helping him with his pain." He Tao said. With that, I saw him take the blueprint out of his bag and spread it on the ground. "You won't understand. Sometimes helping them with their pain is the best favor for them. ”

I looked at He Tao and noticed that he was blinking his eyes as he looked at the blueprints.

I felt that He Tao said this sentence to comfort Ali, but there was always a feeling that this sentence was actually said to me.

The burial chamber was quiet for a long time, and I knew that Ali slowly lifted her face from my arms.

She didn't have the look I thought she would have. This surprised me. Or maybe she figured it out before she even looked up.

"Open the coffin." Ali said, "What we're looking for is inside the coffin. ”

I turned my head to look at the coffin not far away, and suddenly I realized that I had been on the side of a coffin for so long, and I could still keep my face changing and my heart beating. I'm starting to admire myself. But maybe this is because of the previous series of events that distracted me, so that I didn't pay too much attention to this dark coffin.

He Tao glanced at Ali, as if waiting for Ali's confirmation.

Ali nodded: "The people who designed this mausoleum won't joke about the blueprints anymore." With that, he got up from my arms and walked to the edge of the coffin.

I also stood up.

The pheasant was between me and the coffin. I deliberately walked around as I walked past and didn't look at him.

The coffin is not particularly large. Compared with the coffin under the Merriam-Webster ancestral hall, this one is much smaller. And according to the size of this coffin, I estimate that there is only one coffin. As long as this coffin is opened, then all that remains is the coffin.

Ali walked around the coffin a few times, and carefully observed the patterns engraved on the coffin.

"Will there be rice dumplings?" I asked Ali.

"Zongzi?" He Tao asked, "What zongzi?" ”

"Zongzi is the corpse of the corpse." Ali said, "Commonly known as corpse fraud. ”

"Corpse?" He Tao subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at the coffin cautiously: "You see the joke, right?" ”

Ali raised her face to look at He Tao, and then motioned to He Tao to look at me: "You ask my brother, is this thing true or false." ”

He Tao looked at me and I nodded.

"But don't be so scared." As she spoke, Ali walked around the coffin again and said, "There is no ink line on this coffin, which means that there should be no living creatures that need to be trapped inside." ”

"So there won't be any zombies in there?" He Tao asked.

Ali nodded: "There shouldn't be." This probability is very high. After a pause, he continued: "But the designer of this mausoleum is a genius at mechanics - but my brother and I didn't find any mechanisms when we came all the way. After saying that, Ali gently patted the coffin in front of her and motioned for us to pay attention. After our eyes fell on the coffin, Ali continued: "There will always be an anti-theft mechanism in the mausoleum. If there is no mechanism in the tombway, then the designer is probably trying to let our guard down. After speaking, Ali paused: "This may be designed with a deadly mechanism." ”

Hearing Ali say this, He Tao, who was relieved and walked back, took a few steps back. Not only He Tao, but I also subconsciously retreated when I heard that there was a deadly mechanism.

"Don't be afraid." Ali looked at us with some amusement, "You're all men." ”

"Just kidding, men are also human beings, and men can die well." I rolled my eyes.

"Okay." Ali showed a helpless expression, "But if you don't come and help me remove the lid of the coffin, I won't be able to open the coffin." ”

I glanced at He Tao and saw that he was also looking at me. I winked at him, meaning to ask him if he wanted to go up. He also winked at me, meaning that the two big men can't let a little girl look down on them, right?

"Okay, up." I say. Then he followed He Tao and walked forward.

"How do you open this?" He Tao reached out and touched the coffin and wiped the dust on his hands.

"Based on the constraints of the times, the designers of this mausoleum could not have had too many ideas ahead of their time." "In other words, these traps are most likely some ejection traps like bows and crossbows. After a pause, he said, "Of course, it may also be poison gas or something." However, at that time, it was difficult to pour poison gas into the coffin without a sealed container. Therefore, it is unlikely that a mechanism such as poison gas will appear. ”

"So if we move fast enough, we can dodge the crossbow arrows inside?" I asked Ali, and at the same time I began to complain in my heart: if I could have the reaction speed to dodge the crossbow arrows, would I still be here?

"No need to hide." Ali said, "What I told you just now is just an ordinary situation. ”

I didn't understand, so I asked her what she meant, is there a more awesome mechanism in this?

Ali shook her head, patted the coffin, and said, "There is no mechanism in this coffin. ”
