Chapter 66 The Man in the Coffin

After everyone finished fooling around, they shifted their attention and focused on the current tomb chamber. There are no entrances or exits here, and the previous lair above our heads also has no entrances or exits. In other words, no matter what

Whether we go up or down, we have entered a dead end.

Judging from the structure of the tomb chamber, this is unlikely, because the ancients emphasized the importance of death as life. The tomb is also called the Yin House, which is the place where the dead live. The Yin House and the Yang House are common, and no one would build in the Yin House.

dead end.

Professor Lin said: "Maybe there is some secret passage here, everyone should be careful." Everyone gradually dispersed in formation and carefully looked around for possible secret passages. At this moment, Gu Wenmin, with sharp eyes, suddenly said: "Come and see

, the patterns on these coffins are so strange." This time we mainly focused on

Xu Fu brought the things in the coffin, so he didn't pay much attention to the nine coffins. Gu Wenmin's voice couldn't help but attract everyone's attention. She pointed to the top of one of the coffins.

He said, "Look, the characters carved on this coffin are really weird, like aliens."

Following her gaze, I couldn't help but exclaimed, yes, it does look like an alien. This is not the first time I have seen ancient coffins. I have seen ones engraved with tengyun auspicious beasts, and I have seen those engraved with cranes and heavenly officials.

But this was the first time I saw such a strange-looking person on a coffin. In the center of the coffin, there was a small human figure. The clothes he wore were different from the broad robes and long sleeves of the ancients, but more close-fitting clothes. His hands

Put it on your chest.

I took a closer look and realized something was wrong. The hand was not actually placed on the chest. To be precise, it was placed on the neck.

I couldn't help but take a breath and said in surprise, "It seems like I'm pinching myself."

Gu Wenmin nodded, obviously puzzled. At this time, others also discovered that such weird character carvings were found on almost every coffin lid, but the body shapes of the characters were some strong and some slender.

There are men and women. Gu Wenmin speculated: "Could it be that the figure carved on it is the owner of the coffin?"

Doufu said: "Could it be that the people here strangled themselves to death? Haha, don't be ridiculous, it's impossible." Fortunately, this kid can still laugh now. If he knew what happened to him, he would probably

I was so scared that I couldn't even cry. For the sake of this kid's physical and mental health, I decided to hide this matter till the end.

Professor Lin pushed up one of his glasses and said, "It's impossible for a person to strangle himself, but Xiao Gu's words reminded me. Look at the faces of these characters. They are weird, with long mouths and wide faces, as if they have belts.

Wearing a weird mask, maybe it's some kind of ritual. After these people died, would their bodies be arranged in this shape because of this ritual?"

I thought that I was indeed a professional. I could think of so much just by carving a figure, but what kind of ceremony could be so weird? In my heart, I felt that Professor Lin’s idea was unreliable, so I didn’t answer the call, but I was worried.

I came up with an idea. These nine coffins were placed here so abruptly, and there was no way forward. Could it be Xu Fu did this deliberately? Could he have some other purpose?

Just when I was thinking about this issue, Doufu suddenly approached me, and with his other good hand, he grabbed my arm tightly, seeming a little nervous, and said, "Old Chen, I don't agree with what Professor Lin said."

I said: "If you don't agree, you don't agree. Don't hold my arms, gentlemen. Don't you feel tired? I still feel goosebumps coming out."

Professor Lin heard this and asked Doufu if he had any ideas. Doufu nodded and said, "I have an idea, but I think it's a bit scary. Look at the weird masks on these people's faces and the gas respirators we wear.

Do the masks look similar?" Doufu said

When I said this, my voice trembled, and I was obviously caught in some kind of association. But this association was really bold. I subconsciously looked at the face on the coffin, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Yes... that person

The mask he was wearing looked very much like a gas mask.

No, it should be said that the more they look at each other, the more they look like each other! Almost exactly the same!

Duan Fei was obviously a little scared, and said with a trembling voice: "Brother Dou, don't talk nonsense, it's scary."

Doufu looked very ugly now, with a sad face, and stammered: "I, I'm not talking nonsense, you look carefully at the people on the coffins, two of them have small waists and big breasts, they are two women... in our team

, isn’t it just you and... and Miss Gu?” I was so shocked that I immediately confirmed them one by one and looked at the carvings on each coffin carefully.

This is incredible, and it is exactly what Tofu said. There are nine coffins, and the characters carved on them all wear what look like gas masks, and there are seven men and two women.

Could it be that...it's us who are lying in these nine coffins?

No, to be more precise, are these nine coffins prepared for us?

I looked at the rest of the people, and almost everyone had cold sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were ashen. For a while, in the silent tomb, the only thing that could be heard was our heavier and heavier breathing. This idea was really weird.

, this may be just a coincidence, it’s just that the mask is similar to a gas mask. There is already a custom of covering one’s face in burial customs. It is not unusual for a corpse to be buried with a mask, but we must be overthinking it.

I am a person who pays more attention to reality. I don’t want to be scared to death by some illusory imagination, so I took a few deep breaths to calm my pounding heart and educated Doufu: “Don’t be so superstitious. According to your statement

, could it be that Xu Fu had already deduced that more than two thousand years later, a group of us would come to rob the tomb, and then specially leave nine coffins for us?"

At this point, I remembered another loophole, so I added: "Besides, there are more than nine of us, there are ten in total."

Four robots, three Professor Lin, Wu Sidong, Duan Fei, me, Gu Wenmin, and Doufu, totaling exactly ten people. Even if Xu Fu is really good at counting and has prepared coffins for us, the number of coffins is not right.

Come on.

When I said this, everyone felt a little relieved after being mentioned just now. Robot No. 1 took off his gas mask, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Let's not scare ourselves. The speculation just now is too ridiculous."

Even if Xu Fu really knows how to calculate, we shouldn’t just prepare our coffin, wouldn’t there be Japanese people breaking in?”

Doufu asked in confusion: "Japanese? What Japanese?"

Gu Wenmin concealed the part about him and told Doufu about meeting the Japanese corpse in the tomb passage. Doufu was immediately shocked and said: "Little Japan is so despicable. They want to grab the land. Now they even want mushrooms."

Fight with us, we can't delay any longer, we have to find the main tomb quickly... No, since this place is a dead end, where did the rest of Little Japan go?"

Doufu got to the point of his question, and everyone looked at each other, unable to explain for a moment. At this moment, Wu Sidong suddenly pointed to the coffin beside us, his voice was filled with panic and weirdness, and he said hoarsely: "Is it possible?

...inside? Don't you think this coffin is too big? I'm afraid...it can hold more than nine people, right?"

Tofu was timid to begin with, but what Wu Sidong said scared him so much that he quickly said: "Don't make random guesses, you mean that after these little Japanese ran into the tomb chamber, they climbed into the coffin by themselves? They did it again?"

Not a fool..." As soon as Doufu finished speaking, there was a sudden bang in the quiet and dark tomb.

The sound was very dull and very close. It happened to come from our right. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. There was only a huge black wooden coffin at that place.

The sound came from the wooden coffin, and there was something in it!

My first reaction was: the corpse was raised.

Duan Fei and Wu Sidong were novices who had only encountered withered bones. They had never encountered such a weird situation. They were so frightened that they couldn't say a word. At the critical moment, soldiers were more reliable. Robot No. 1 licked his lips and put on his clothes again.

He put on his gas mask and made two gestures to everyone. The first gesture was to ask us to retreat; the second gesture was to ask his three comrades to join together.

The four of them had a tacit understanding. In an instant, they stood on one end and surrounded the huge black coffin from four sides. If the enemy could not move, I would not move. The robots did not take action directly, but held guns and stared intently.

Staring at the coffin.

There were several sounds in the coffin, as if something was lifting the lid of the coffin and trying to come out.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In the silent tomb, the sound made people's scalp numb. Gu Wenmin moved closer to me. After all, she was still scared. I patted her hand to calm her down.

Dou Fu swallowed his saliva and said, "We have run out of glutinous rice, and we have not prepared the buffalo horns. The rice dumplings are coming out. Lao Chen, I am injured now, and you have to be responsible for protecting me."

I said: "I only protect women, I am not responsible for men."

Hearing this, Doufu immediately pinched his throat and said, "I...she is actually a girl." I saw that Doufu was so frightened that he lost his face and said, "Okay, okay, don't smear the title of girl anymore.

If something goes wrong later, you and Wenmin don't care about anything, hide first, and I will deal with the rest."

Doufu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Chen, don't say anything anymore, good brother!" As he spoke, he hugged me from behind.

I immediately became angry and cursed: "You are fucking sick, is this the time to joke? Take your paws away."

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized something was wrong. Doufu and Gu Wenmin were standing on my left and right sides respectively. How could he hug me from behind? Thinking about this, I couldn't help but lower my head and look at the hand holding me.

A dry purple-black human hand covered with grease. No, to be more precise, it is a pair of hands belonging to a dead person!

Before I could react, the hands suddenly exerted force and pulled me back. The force was so strong that in an instant, I felt my thighs hit the coffin behind me, and then my whole body fell backwards.
