Chapter 407 It Follows
Pika has a very unique idea, and I asked him why he thought so.
He said that judging from the excavation traces on the passage wall, he changed a tool every once in a while, but no matter what the excavation tool is used, it is definitely not a common tool such as shovels, shovels and hoes.
He suspected that some sections of the road had digging tools that were spoons or plates.
"You suspect that the person in the tomb used her burial objects to dig this maze?"
"Yes, and the techniques are very unprofessional. You should not understand architectural knowledge, but you have a lot of time."
"Will that cause a landslide?"
"No, the structure here is stable and the soil layer is solid. Dig holes in the middle of a piece of tofu and dig holes in the middle of a brick. Here is obviously the latter."
"Do you really think it's the main trunk of the tomb? She doesn't need to spend this effort. It's not good to go in her tomb. She doesn't have to dig another passage, and dig it with a spoon or a plate. Is it idle?"
"No one has so much time except the tomb owner. At least a few decades apart from the hole we came in, plus the time spent in other sections, it may take hundreds of years or more. Can living people do it?"
"Well...If two tomb robbers were trapped in the tomb and they had food sources, the two generations would work together-"
"The road section at the beginning should be dug with tools like shovels. I know the way to robbers to break holes, and I don't know that they are so amateur."
"Well, assuming it was the tomb owner, why did she dig a hole in her tomb?"
"She may have wanted to go out, and you also saw that the doors of all rooms have been sealed, including her tomb. She wanted to leave, digging the stone door more slowly. The most likely thing is that she chose the soil layer at the bottom of the tomb, prying open the floor tiles on the bottom, and digging out the soil directly."
I really couldn't think of making excuses to fool him. As a veteran, of course I knew that even in my tomb might be trapped and had to find other ways to escape.
But a group of people had obviously come in before, and one of them had escaped. If the tomb owner really wanted to leave, he could go out with that person. Why didn’t she do this?
I agreed with Pika’s guess in my heart, but I refused to admit it. I thought I could hide it for a while, and Pika was an "outsider". It was over after completing this order. There was no need to know too much "insider".
"Well, I think it was done by Professor Park's father's man. After dozens of people came down, we knew that the one who came out was killed and the others might still be alive." My statement was full of loopholes and the timeline was not up to par. When Pika saw that he couldn't understand me, he stopped doing useless work.
We walked through the passage dug by the ‘tomb owner’, but we didn’t see the most critical room - the main tomb room.
According to the pickup truck's speculation, the tomb owner must have dug out from the main tomb chamber. No matter how complicated and tortuous the passage in the later stage is, there will eventually be a road leading to the main tomb chamber.
However, we kept walking around and couldn't see the source of the passage. Pickka said that it might be the tomb owner who hid it.
"I just said it was dug by someone else. They dug all the areas in the tomb. Unfortunately, they couldn't find the location of the main tomb chamber." I took the opportunity to confuse Pika's ideas. He knew some knowledge about tombs, but my clan's ancient tombs did not pay attention to the Feng Shui direction, Yin and Yang and Five Elements. He remembered the direction very well, but he could not determine the location of the main tomb chamber through the direction. He tried to judge several times, but failed.
"No, we have seen all the spaces. If you say, so many people are digging passages here, where do they sleep, eat and drink, and where are they convenient? There will always be traces, but we have not found any traces along the way. No one should have entered those stone chambers before us."
I looked at the pickup who was carefully analyzing and calmly judging, and was hesitating whether to continue to pretend to be stupid. A gunshot came from above my head.
Someone shot and ran over our heads. Another possibility was that he was slow to run and was caught by something. The rhythm of the shooting was disrupted. He beat him up and finally let out a scream.
"Well, are you familiar with this? Is it your teammate?" I asked Pickup after I returned to quiet.
"The weapons are different." Pika replied.
It’s bad, laymen listen to people’s voices, and experts listen to gunshots. Yes, pickup has been nominated for me for the most difficult team to deceive my friends.
If it wasn't his teammate, it would be the white suit people, and only they and the white suit people had weapons on them.
"Or why don't we go to another entrance to see?" I didn't meet Chen Qinghan and Mari Guo in this passage. If I continue to move, there may be no result. With a pickup truck, I can't burn holes everywhere to find the main tomb, so I can only propose to change the road.
"Okay." Pika nodded, "Miss Leng, if there is danger, you run back. This is the passage dug by the tomb owner, avoiding all the mechanisms and traps in the tomb."
"I will say this to you too. Take care of yourself when you encounter danger." Being a protected weak person does not exist. As long as the people who accompany you do not become a burden to me, I will thank God.
We exited the passage and returned to the initial entrance. The pickup followed the direction of his teammates and the scientific expedition team members leaving. We couldn't find the hole in the wall, but only found a hole above our head.
They fell from the stone gate and went up here again?
The hole above is very close to the wall. The pickup found signs of trampling and climbing on the wall. The scientific expedition team members could not climb up, but his teammates could use tools such as hooks and claws. He went up first, and then put a rope to pull the people from the scientific expedition team up. This method is absolutely feasible.
But why did his teammates leave him alone and run with the people from the scientific expedition team?
"Didn't they leave you before they leave?" I think Captain Zhou is very in tune with his authority. The members will not have conflicts as soon as they come in, and they will throw one away without saying anything. At least they can save them.
"He... seemed to have said something about his sister. I don't know what he saw or... the two scientific expedition teams dared not stay, so they chased him and ran away."
"Oh, that means your teammate saw the illusion and was led away."
"It seems."
"I'm afraid you're in that strange tree, you're safe and have a great life, brother."
Pika didn't say anything. He first kicked the hole above his head with his hook claws, then threw down a rope. I grabbed the rope and climbed up without him pulling it.
There is still a passage above, but this passage is obviously much more refined. The walls are carved, the floors are patterned stone bricks, and there are reliefs on the top of the head. There are lamps on the walls, which seem to be made of crystal material.
I don’t know what fuel is burning inside. The fire is white and looks very similar to the light of an incandescent lamp, illuminating the entire passage.
In the ancient tomb, the more dangerous the place is, the more I look around, and I don’t find anyone else, and there are no footprints on the ground.
"I'm on the upper floor, be careful." Pickup reminded casually.
"I'm serious, if you encounter danger, run away by yourself and don't mind me." I was afraid that he wouldn't take it seriously, so I reiterated it again.
"Okay." Pickup agreed seriously this time.
He said that I turned completely. He pointed to the passage on the left and said that it was going outward, going in the direction we came. If we want to find someone, we have to go deeper and towards the passage on the right.
He made a pose ready to shoot at any time, half-lifting his muzzle, "Go slowly."
I looked up at the relief above my head, as if a group of fairies appeared in the clouds and mist, and looked down at the world curiously.
The relief is too realistic. The clothes on the characters are colorful. Some even half of their bodies are poked down and an arm is stretched out, as if they are trying to caress someone's head.
If these reliefs are far away from my head, they look quite artistic, but the distance is too close, which always makes me feel like someone is ready to take a photo of me at any time.
I think I am not the only one who feels like this. When the pickup takes a walk, he has to look up and glance up.
"Scaring the tomb robbers, for sure." A normal person carved this thing in a building, anyway, the houses of living people would not be carved like this. When they got up in the middle of the night, they looked at the crowd of people on the ceiling, and they looked like they were trying to reach out to grab someone. Isn't it scary?
"Miss Leng, look back and see the relief in the blue clothes." Pika murmured in a low voice.
I pretended to look back and forth casually, and glanced at the blue clothes relief behind us. It was the most bizarre of the "fairies". She closed her eyes, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and stretched out her hands to fumble, as if she was playing hide-and-seek.
"Did you find it?" Pika asked in a low voice.
"Ah, it is following us." We just passed by under it and kept walking forward. It is said that she should be getting farther and farther away from us, but she has walked almost ten meters away. She has always kept a certain distance from us, not far or near.
The relief posture did not change, but just moved forward with us, which was even more strange, especially its movement, with its eyes closed and its arms stretched forward to grop. What is it going to do? Are you going to touch us?
The fairies have different hairstyles. The person in blue dress is wearing a bun. The relief is stone. The pure stone will not be disguised by a real person.
"Can it be... the ceiling or floor is moving?" For example, the ceiling is following us, or we are on a machine like a treadmill conveyor belt, and the position has not changed no matter how we walk.
"No, I marked one wall, we didn't spin around in place."
"Then you give it a shot."
"I think it's better not to move it, let's go quickly." Pickup suddenly accelerated and almost trotted.
"Be careful of the mechanism under your feet." I immediately followed him and looked back at the relief as I walked.
We walked in the passage for more than ten minutes, but we had not yet reached the end, and the fairy in blue on top of our heads followed us.
"This passage is a round shape and there is no exit." Pickup race walked for twenty minutes, and suddenly stopped and said when he returned to the cave where we came up.
"What is the situation? It's a closed ring? How did the person who built it get out?"
"Closed, completely block the exit."
"What is the role of this mechanism? If you can't get in, who can you trap?"
"This hole." Pika squatted down and looked carefully, "It was not dug now."
"You mean that the craftsman who built the tomb dug this cave for tomb robbers to enter this closed ring passage?"
Yes, yes, what's the effect?
"I can't figure it out, either."
You can think about the problem of the cave later. Now the person above us is closer to us.
"It's going to catch up, will it hit?" I asked.
"See what it wants to do." Pika hesitated.
We squatted and stood, looking up at the fairy in blue, gradually approaching. When it moved above our heads, the fairy's mouth suddenly opened and spit out some flying insects from it.
I didn't look carefully, and I took a rough look. It was like a fly, buzzing, like a fountain, and the relief mouth was wider than the mouth of the bowl.
The pickup truck just now didn't shoot the relief, and it seemed to be the right choice. Unfortunately, what should be come is still there. His caution did not bring safety.
Pika was wearing gloves on his hand. When he saw the flying insects spewed out, he immediately pulled up the scarf on his neck and covered his entire head. Only then did I realize that his scarf was so long, it was in a cylindrical shape, pulled up to cover his head, like a robber who was robbing the bank.
The material of the scarf may be very special. The "flies" pounced on him and did not bite his face. His body was not exposed, but the flying insects refused to give up easily, so I had to kick him into the hole.
"Go back to the safe passage quickly." I kicked him down, but I didn't move the place because the flying insects were not interested in me, and none of them came to pounce on me.
I kicked the pickup truck down, rolled on the ground, and gently turned over and stood up, running directly to the passage dug out by the tomb owner.
Very good, let go, he is an obedient and good comrade.
I stayed alone in the ring passage, and the black wind-like "flies" group followed the pickup. I looked at the fairy in blue on top of my head, and was curious about where the flying insects came from, so I used the karma fire to burn the fairy in blue, revealing a big hole above.
There was still space above, and the smell was extremely bad. When I climbed up, I found that the space above looked like a huge insect nest.
There are many white bones on the ground and all kinds of biological bones. The things here are not picky about food, from human bones to mouse bones, everything is available.
This space is definitely not formed naturally. It turns out that there should be containers that are specially used to accommodate flying insects when I burned it.
There is a big weird thing above the nest, especially like the ball lamps in the 1980s dance hall, with many holes on it, and flying insects flew out of the holes. I guess they should have flew into the container I burned, just like someone was going to accumulate them and use them together.
Now that the containers are gone, they have nowhere to go, they fly around in the nest. The nest is also spherical, with 12 holes on the wall forming a circle.
At this time, one of the holes suddenly slipped down a mouse. The mouse slipped out of the hole. Before it landed, it was directly sucked into the porous ball above by a suction force.
There are many small holes on the sphere, but there is a big mouth below, but I didn't see it when I closed it just now.
The porous ball is as big as a car. I'm afraid that eating a mouse is not enough to even stuff the teeth. No wonder it is not picky about food, and it's good to have something to eat.
