Chapter 254: The Secret in the Coffin
A flashlight from far and near, gradually illuminating this dark narrow dark passage, in the light, only to see three figures in a hurry, buried in the shuttle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dark passage is tortuous and long, and even if the three of them have walked for a long time, there is no sign of bottoming out at all. Ye Yu followed Lao Qian and "Lou Yue", looking back vigilantly from time to time to listen to the movements behind him, for fear that those live rotting corpses would chase after him again.
"Don't keep looking at the back, you kid, those things shouldn't be able to keep up for a while." Lao Qian glanced at Ye Yu, who was looking back nervously, and spoke.
"Alas...... Why are you so sure? Ye Yu turned his head and asked in some surprise.
"Didn't you notice it before? The living rotting corpses only follow the light. This time, it was the red-eyed man who was occupying Lou Yue's body.
"Speaking of which, when I was besieged before, it seems that those live rotting corpses have been rushing in the direction of me and Lao Qian, and they haven't paid much attention to you in the deep darkness......" Ye Yu looked at the red-pupiled man and suddenly realized something. Could it be that they have phototaxis?? ”
"I'm afraid it's true, those living rotting corpses should only be able to attack where there is light." The red-eyed man said. "Now that we've been in this dark passage for so long, the light can't reach the entrance where we came, so we don't have to worry about those living rotting corpses coming with us."
"I see...... Then again, those live rotting corpses...... What the hell is it? Ye Yu asked with a complicated expression. Although his face is rotten to the point of not being human, his body looks like a human being...... It's just that their complexion is a strange grayish-red, and they don't wear any clothes, and they don't seem to have any thoughts...... Are they human, or are they ......?"
Ye Yu thought about it, and suddenly remembered the zombie case that he and Lan Jue came into contact with not long ago, although he had only seen the photos, the appearance of the zombie missing student in the photos seemed to be extremely similar to those live rotting corpses, which couldn't help but make Ye Yu's heart tighten suddenly.
At that time, it was speculated that the student who had become a zombie was ...... Looks like he's from the desert, and if he really came out of this tomb, then ...... Could it be that those living rotting corpses that looked similar to the previous ones ...... In fact, it is also a zombie living person??!
Thinking that the monster that was smashed by himself before was likely to be a real human, Ye Yu's face suddenly turned white.
If that's the case, then that's ...... We were actually killing people before?? This......
"Even if those monsters were originally human, they would no longer be able to be called human when they became like that." It seemed that seeing the trembling look on Ye Yu's face, Lao Qian suddenly opened his mouth faintly. "In this tomb, all you can think about is how to get out alive, and those useless mental baggage will only reduce your probability of survival."
"......" Ye Yu didn't expect Lao Qian to say such profound words, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and at this moment, a dark yellow point of light suddenly appeared in front of the dark path.
"The exit has arrived!" As soon as he saw that the long dark road finally had an end, the joy on Lao Qian's face was overflowing, and he hurriedly ran forward two steps. "Hahaha, there must be some secret tomb behind this secret passage, maybe there are a lot of treasures hidden, hehe, I can make a fortune now!"
“…… Alas, he is still a native man. Looking at Lao Qian's obscene appearance, Ye Yu couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and moved his gaze to the red-eyed man on the side, only to find that the other party was also staring at Lao Qian in front of him, as if he was thoughtful.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yu observed the other party's face and asked worriedly.
“…… It's nothing. The red-eyed man finally looked away and glanced at Ye Yu coldly. Instead of always paying attention to how I am, let's think about the purpose of your visit to this tomb in the first place, you shouldn't have come here to dig for some treasure, right? ”
"It does ......"
Ye Yu lowered his head with a complicated face, he knew very well that the direct purpose of the special team going to the tomb this time was to find the clue of "devouring". At present, the only way to find clues is the voice of the mysterious man that I had "heard" in the brain of the tomb robber who had gone down to this tomb.
According to the information Ye Yu read at the time, that voice seemed to come from behind the wall near the door of a stone chamber hall, but the problem now was that he could no longer figure out the specific location of his current tomb, let alone find the stone chamber hall.
Just as Ye Yu was secretly thinking about what to do, Lao Qian's happy voice suddenly came from the front:
"Hey, it's a tomb hall!"
Hall??
Ye Yu was shocked, and hurriedly ran forward with Lao Qian, but the moment he just saw the tomb at the end of the dark passage, his whole person was suddenly stunned.
The familiar frescoes, the towering altar, and the ominous black coffin in the center of the altar...... What appeared in front of Ye Yu was not the stone chamber hall he had thought it was, but another scene that he had "seen with his own eyes", but it was like a nightmare-
What he saw was what he had experienced in his dream as Zhou Jinping, the treacherous main tomb!
"Well, why don't you go?" Seeing Ye Yu stunned in place, Lao Qian urged while pushing Ye Yu away and wanted to get into the tomb.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! Don't ......" Ye Yu came back to his senses suddenly, and before he could stop it, he saw Lao Qian step in first.
"Oh~ There are still everlasting lamps in this tomb, as well as this mural and this furnishing...... Dare to love this is the main burial chamber! Hahahaha, now I'm going to make a fortune! Old Qian's eyes lit up, and he turned off his flashlight and wandered around, hoping to touch some treasures, but he was soon disappointed to find that there were not even fragments of crockpots in the entire tomb, not to mention valuable artifacts.
"Damn, this place must have been swept away, right? Why don't you even have a treasure??! Old Qian stared, and his original ecstasy was instantly replaced by anger.
"Is the main burial chamber ......? Hmph, this layout is not so much a burial as a sacrifice. The red-eyed man looked around the chamber, and finally focused his gaze on the towering altar in the center.
"Sacrifice? Do you mean that this is not actually a burial chamber? Ye Yu looked at the red-pupiled man in surprise.
"Not only is this not a tomb, this entire tomb cannot be counted as a tomb at all." The red-eyed man said. "You should have heard the essence of this tomb from the mouth of the 'Loulan King' when you confronted him before, right?"
"Hmm...... The 'King of Loulan' said that this tomb is not actually the so-called tomb of the Loulan nobles, but his tomb and his rebirth. Ye Yu recalled. According to what he said, there should be no one buried in this tomb, it was just a ritual place set up to transplant his consciousness to his beloved concubine, but unfortunately it failed halfway...... Well? Wait, if you say that, the coffin on the altar should really be ......! ”
Ye Yu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly looked up at the central altar, but was surprised to find that Lao Qian had already taken a step ahead of him and went straight to the coffin at the top of the altar.
"Wait a minute! That coffin can't be touched! Somehow, Ye Yu suddenly remembered the situation inside the coffin that he had seen in that nightmare, as well as the resurrected skeleton, and his heart suddenly became alarmed.
"I came here with all the hard work, but I didn't get anything?? That's not going to work! Lao Qian licked his lips, directly ignored Ye Yu's persuasion, and crawled towards the top of the altar.
"You...... Ah! Ye Yu was very anxious, and hurriedly caught up with the red-pupiled man, but before he reached the top, he saw Lao Qian standing next to the coffin from a distance, looking at the half-opened black coffin with a desperate expression.
"That coffin can't be touched! Inside...... ...... inside" Ye Yu ran to Lao Qian's side in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, he saw Lao Qian smile bitterly at himself.
"What's in there? See for yourself. Old Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to the inside of the coffin and said.
Puff ...... Puff ......
Thinking of the skeleton that got up from the coffin in the nightmare, Ye Yu couldn't help but start his heart beat faster, but he could only look inside.
“……!? There's nothing in this, there's nothing in this coffin?? Ye Yu looked at the inside of the empty coffin in amazement, shocked beyond measure. No...... Impossible! It's supposed to be ......"
"What do you think it should be?? There's nothing but ash in it, right?? Old Qian roared angrily, stretched out his hand and touched the coffin angrily, and deliberately slapped the ashes in front of Ye Yu. I thought there was something good in it, but I fought my life to come down, but it turned out that there was nothing! You guys...... What a broom star! I'm so unlucky to meet you! ”
"Ahem...... This, I didn't expect this......" Ye Yu took two steps back crampedly, and before he could speak again, he heard a trivial sound coming from the hall under the altar, and at the same time, a familiar sweet voice suddenly came into Ye Yu's ears.
Ye Yu...... It's Ye Yu them! They're fine! ”
What is this ......!?
Ye Yu hurriedly looked back, and saw Xiao Lu below waving to him excitedly, and beside him was Ming Shili and the director of the Special Affairs Investigation South District - Ming Jinyan.
"Everybody......! Are you all alright? Ye Yu was overjoyed, and immediately got off the altar and came to the three of them.
"Where did you go before? I haven't been able to find you. Xiaolu looked Ye Yu up and down, and found that the other party did not look injured, so she was relieved.
"That's a long story...... By the way, how did you get here? Ye Yu asked rhetorically.
"We were attacked before, and then we came here through that dark passage." Xiao Lu pointed to a narrow secret door on the stone wall behind him and said, only to see that this secret door seemed to be about the same size as when Ye Yu and the others came, but the direction was diametrically opposite.
"No matter what, it's good that everyone gathers together." Ming Jinyan on the side looked up at the two figures on the altar and spoke. "Above is old money and ...... Lou Yue? ”
"Ah...... Hmm......" Ye Yu lowered his gaze, not knowing how to explain the mutation that had occurred on Lou Yue's body for a while, so he could only choose to remain silent for the time being.
"Oh, big beauty...... It's me, it's me, you didn't admit it, I didn't expect to see you again~"
As soon as he saw Ming Jinyan, the previous anger on Lao Qian's face suddenly disappeared, and he was busy wanting to go down to meet him, but just as he was preparing to go down to the altar under the tower, he heard a voice sounding coldly from behind him:
"Stop."
Old Qian paused and looked at the white, delicate, but fierce red-eyed man behind him with a displeased face.
"What?"
"You...... What did you just take from the coffin? The red-eyed man stared at Lao Qian expressionlessly and said coldly.
"Hey? What can I take? I want to show you a layer of dust? Lao Qian glanced at the other party dissatisfied, and said mockingly.
"Hmph, you can hide it from that kid but you can't hide it from me, you just took something out of the coffin, I saw it." The red-eyed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his words revealed a tough momentum that could not be refused.
"You're not an ordinary Tufuzi, who the hell are you!?"
Just when the two of them were tense, a cold and biting cold wind suddenly swept through the entire tomb without warning, and the surrounding lanterns suddenly became flickering and dimming, and in the next moment, with two loud bangs, the two dark doors when the two teams came crashed shut, trapping the six people firmly in this tomb.
"Tsk, it's not good......" The red-eyed man's face changed.
"Hit the mark!" (To be continued.) )
