Silent Killing

Stealing holes are only about one meter high, but with the skills of Zuo Qingcang right now, this is not much. Relying on excellent flexibility and muscle strength, he cautiously moves forward in the stealing holes.

The first ten meters of the pirate hole was a horizontal course, but after a dozen meters, it became a pirate hole and became an oblique upward route. This is consistent with the judgment of Zuo Qingcang’s previous judgment that it was vertically downward, then extended horizontally, and punched to the corner of the tomb.

But what he didn’t expect was that the second robbed hole actually went out obliquely upwards. Then, the first robbed hole where the mouse and Corpse Monster appeared instead went deep into the tomb?

Next, Zuo Qingcang went deeper and found a special feature of this robber’s hole. This is not a robber’s hole going straight, but a structure that revolves up and down like a mountain road. In theory, although this structure takes more effort, it is safer and less prone to accidents such as collapse.

On the way, Zuo Qingcang also found many traces of artificial excavation and construction through the light of the night pearl.

‘This group of people looks very professional, just don’t know if the exit they dug out has been occupied by the monsters outside. ‘

When Zuo Qingcang was thinking about it that way, after a corner, the end of the robber appeared in his eyes.

It’s not a wall, not a landslide, or an ordinary rock wall, as if the diggers only dig here. Touching the thick rock and soil in front of him, Zuo Qingcang knocked hard for a few times, his frown deepened.

‘The back is solid …’ Then the faint light of the night pearl, Zuo Qingcang inspected every inch of soil around all around: ‘No traces of artificial blockade or burial were found, and no signs of natural collapse …’

All the clues are so simple and straightforward, telling Zuo Qingcang plainly that after the tunnel digger got here, they didn’t know why they stopped and then evacuated.

But such straightforward signs reveal the biggest weirdness in itself. Because if this hole was dug from the inside out, how did the grave robbers come in? Since they stopped at halfway, how did they go out?

‘Can it be said that both the robbers are open to the outside? ‘Zuo Qingcang pondered:’ They dug one in and dug one out? ‘

But if that’s the case, then there is nothing more to say. For example, after they came in, why did n’t they continue to excavate the passage to the basement of the tomb. Since they had dug in, why did they dig out and why did they stop?

Things are getting weirder, as if all around the darkness that is difficult to be enveloped by the Pearl of the Night, there are unpredictable eyes covering Zuo Qingcang, making him feel dangerous.

But now that he was deep into the Jedi, he would have to break through even if it was dangerous.

Next, Zuo Qingcang returned to the funeral chamber first, and explained the situation found in the robber hole with the old man. Then he spent another hour or so, inspecting every inch of the No. XNUMX robber hole by the dim light of the night pearl, but still found nothing.

The old man’s face was also puzzled: “Why is this happening? If the No. XNUMX robbing hole leads to the inside of the ancient tomb, then the No. XNUMX robbing hole was dug out of it. This is impossible. “

“It’s impossible,” Muo Qingcang murmured.

“That said, the No. XNUMX thief also leads to the outside? These bastards dug a hole in and then plan to dig out a hole? What do they think?”

old man speculated: “Will it be the hole they had dug in, which was invaded by the monster. They just planned to dig out a hole, but halfway through, the monster is gone?”

“It’s not impossible.” Feeling that his physical strength was almost restored, Zuo Qingcang stood up and walked to the No. XNUMX robber hole: “However, I still have to see it before I know.”

A few months ago, the stone statue in front of me needed Zuo Qingcang and old man to work hard together to push it slowly. But at this time Zuo Qingcang, just pushing the palm gently, as easily as pushing a chair, pushed the stone statue on the No. XNUMX robber hole at will.

Opening the seal of No. XNUMX stolen hole again, looking at the black and faint hole in front of him, the tension of the old man’s face appeared.

Zuo Qingcang’s face was calm: “It’s still the old rules, I will pull the rope if something goes wrong, you can wait here for a while.”

In the old man’s worried eyes, Zuo Qingcang slowly penetrated into the robber’s hole, and the whole body gradually disappeared into the darkness. Only a little fluorescence of the night pearl appeared in the darkness, but soon, even the night pearl The emitted fluorescence was also swallowed up by darkness.

The whole night of the funeral room gave people a sense of blur under the shining night pearl. Because of Zuo Qingcang’s departure, the peace of the past was restored in the air, and no sound was heard, just like the past 2000 years.

An ordinary person is already scared when he stays in such a dark and silent tomb. But even though Old Man’s face was a little nervous, he didn’t see any fear at all, maybe he was used to the days when a person stayed in the tomb.

The day when there is no darkness, no one communicates, eats the dead body, and sleeps in the tomb. Thinking of life over the years, a gloom appeared on the face of the old man.

‘this time, be sure to go out. ‘

Just then, the rope on his arm sent a strong force, as if a cow was pulling him on the other side of the rope.

The old man complexion changed and immediately held the rope firmly with both hands, but the strength of the other end of the rope was too great. Even if the old man exhausted his energy and even turned his face flushed, his body was still pulled inch by inch towards the robber hole. Direction.

Feeling that Zuo Qingcang on the other end of the rope would soon drag himself into the robber hole, hesitation appeared on the face of the old man.

‘what happened? There is no signal like jitter, he pulls like this, the stone figure pulls me down? ‘

‘But it’s better to say nothing … or is something catch him? ‘

Just as the old man hesitated, thinking whether he should loosen the rope, the rope on his hand suddenly loosened, and the old man still pulling with full force immediately fell back with a bang.

He was heart startled and immediately got up and kept pulling the rope, but the more he pulled, the worse his expression was on his face. That’s because the rope feels empty.

When the rope was pulled to his head, Zuo Qingcang did not show up. The old man looked at the rope apparently cut by the dagger in his hands, and there was a glomy and uncertain face on his face.
