Chapter 324 A preliminary exploration of the bottom of the lake
what does that mean?
A few people's hearts were pounding, and they comforted the traumatized Lin and Will. They stopped where they were, looking up at the body shaking on the tree for a long time.
Suddenly, Mr. Li looked at Yu Xing and said in a deep voice, "Did you see it when you were up there just now?"
Yu Xing understood what he was talking about. In this case, there was no need for him to hide it: "That's right, the body that fell down was pressed against my face."
Uncle Zhang's pupils shrank: “Did you really see clearly?”
As he spoke, he even wanted to lift the hair of the corpse on the ground to confirm.
Yu Xing stopped him: "Don't look. The moment I saw the corpse's face on the tree, it was blown away by the wind."
“Can it still be blown away?” A man from a family of tomb robbers expressed his disbelief in a trembling voice.
The corpses I have seen in the past, even if the corpse became a dumplings, or alienated into a Forbidden Woman, there are traces to follow. How can there be a look at it?
Even if it is a mechanism, it must have a starting device, right? Is this mechanism activated with eyes?
There are always some people who do not believe in evil. They used throwing knives to cut the ropes of the corpses. Suddenly, the corpses fell like rain one after another.
When they found their corresponding corpse, they had to open it up and take a look before they believed it.
“Fuck, this is what I'll be like after I die!?” Shijiu glanced at the corpse's face and disappeared with the wind, but the swollen face that died of suffocation still left an extremely nauseating impression on her.
"This is really evil!" After everyone had seen it, Mr. Li laughed, and some seriousness appeared on his decadent face, "I, Li Zhiming, have never seen anything before, and I really encountered something new today. Yes, interesting!”
Will couldn't calm down. He had just talked to his "soul", and now he was facing his own body, and he doubted his life for a while.
His mind was almost filled with philosophical questions - Where do I come from? Am I still me? Am I really alive?
Ash can only play the role of persuader, but fortunately he and Will can talk in English and no longer have to use a bad accent.
Yu Xing pondered for a moment and looked at everyone: "Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Although we have all seen our faces and our figures match ours, don't forget that we are not dead yet. The dead bodies we see are either It's fake, or it's from the future.”
“Which one of the two do you think is more likely?”
Coming from the future is too ridiculous. In normal times, if someone told them that he came from the future, he would be laughed to death by these grave robbers who do not believe in fate or evil.
Grave robbers are the people who least believe in things like the future and karma. If people have a certain future, then what are they doing now?
As for karma, it is all about digging people's graves. If you really mention it, it will be like a thunderbolt.
I was confused just now, but now that I think about it, it really doesn't seem reasonable.
"You mean, the body is fake? A visual illusion?" Yunika was still calm. She stared at her body coldly, stretched out her leg and kicked it.
Yu Xing was silent for two seconds.
In fact, among these two possibilities, he is more inclined to the confusion and overlap of timelines, which allows them to see themselves in different times - there is a self that knows nothing, a self that kills, a self that is killed, and maybe even a self that is killed. There are more.
There is one thing that makes no sense. Killing and being killed are contradictory. They cannot exist at the same time. In other words, this is both a person and not a person.
It was too complicated to say, and Yu Xing was not sure now, so he did not explain, but followed Yunika's words: "To a certain extent, the body is indeed fake. No matter which possibility, I can't figure it out. What's the point of the person who left the threatening note letting us see the body?”
“Only one possibility makes sense...the other side is trying to scare us off.”
A determined smile appeared on his lips: "Who wants us to leave the most? Of course it's the demon."
"This is also the defense mechanism of the tomb, right?" Yunika sneered, "Yes, if we leave now, we will not die here, and the appearance of the corpse will not be explained. If you think of it this way, the corpse is our future This is simply impossible.”
"That's right, that's right. After we sort it out, we can see that our future is still in our own hands." Shijiu grabbed the corner of her wrinkled clothes. She didn't want to admit that she had panicked just now.
For a top twenty mercenary, this is too embarrassing!
Due to Yu Xing's reminder, the atmosphere relaxed. Even if the reason for the existence of the corpses has not been found, everyone will no longer be upset.
They stayed away from the corpses with lingering fear and continued to return, but they could not help but murmur in their hearts.
Compared with the horror caused by these corpses, the bird corpse forest was nothing. It was just that the bird corpses were washed all over the ground by the rain, and the birds that were still hanging strong were so rotten that the bones could be seen... that's all.
Everyone passed by quickly. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and the sky was bright.
"Huh... I finally came here. It's so uncomfortable." Shijiu covered her face with a mask and still found the smell unbearable. She became more and more irritable, and everyone around her stayed away from her.
“This woman is crazy.” Ash stared at the sharp blade of Shijiu and silently avoided it.
Through the bird corpse forest, there were no other dangers except for some bone vines and large white flowers whose details had been explored. With their footsteps, they quickly reached the Living Tail Falls.
The waterfall rushes down, making a huge roar, which is refreshing and refreshing. There is even a small piece of mist formed at the bottom of the waterfall. At first glance, it looks like Qiong Yao in the fairyland.
Different species of fish swim freely and happily in the clear lake water.
The low trees bear small white fruits and slender leaves, dotting the scenery.
"We're finally here...San, is the entrance to the tomb you found nearby?" Carlos stood on the mountain wall and looked down. It was a miracle to find this beautiful little world in the underworld of Chongyin Mountain. .
He found Yu Xing with a paper figurine at Living Tail Lake. Therefore, he wanted to know that the entrance Yu Xing found would not be too far away. Otherwise, Yu Xing should not be so arrogant as to bathe in the lake, but should guard it. entrance, looking for the most suitable opportunity to enter.
"Correction, it's not the entrance, it's the suspected entrance." Yu Xing interrupted him and pointed down, "Go down first."
Ash was the first to jump down, jumping quickly between the mountain walls and reaching the bottom in almost the blink of an eye. The water from the waterfall splashed and wet Ash's cheeks. He looked around alertly, then raised his hand: "Come down!"
“What did he say!?” Unika asked loudly.
The sound of the waterfall is so loud that everyone can barely hear each other when standing on it. Now a group of people are on the cliff and one person is underground, shouting at the top of their lungs and unable to make a sound.
Carlos chuckled. Although he couldn't hear 1, he could understand the meaning from the gesture: "He said, let us go down."
Shijiu stood at the end: "You go first, I will take the back seat."
On the surface, Ash and Shijiu have the strongest direct combat effectiveness. It is most reasonable for the two of them to explore the route and protect them.
Carlos shrugged indifferently and glanced at Yu Xing. The soft soles of his sneakers made him look extremely light. He climbed on the rocks and stepped on the depressions. Ash was still below, ready to catch him at any time.
Just as Yu Xing was about to follow, he heard Mr. Li unzipping his backpack and taking out a hook. The front end was a three-claw grappling hook, and the back was a strong rope. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Young people today are so brave. They go down one by one with bare hands and no equipment."
"I'm not brave, I'm going to use a hook." Yu Xing stopped with his feet out and turned around, "Without the rope, someone would be killed. I'm still a child."
The people who stayed above: “…”
Good guy, the legendary famous horror painter with eccentric, mysterious and gloomy character actually has this tone. If they are blind, can't they see it? This guy was already ready to go!
In fact, Yu Xing also had a rope, but he was thinking too much at the moment and didn't notice it, and it was not difficult to climb down the cliff with his bare hands, so he ignored the existence of the rope. It wasn't until Master Li reminded him that he insisted on keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. On par with the rest of the army.
A group of people locked the hooks on their belts, and the hooks on the hooks were inserted into the hard rock and pointed downwards at the same time. Only Shijiu was watching from above to guard against accidents.
Yunika had an abdominal injury, so she descended most cautiously. When she was about to reach the ground, several men in the team reached out to pick her up.
Yu Xing once again felt the popularity of this woman in the team. It is no exaggeration to say that the stars support the moon. In comparison, Shijiu is like a brother or a brick. He can drill wherever he needs to.
The cliff was slippery, but luckily the process was uneventful. When they arrived at the Living Tail Lake, everyone was about to ask Yu Xing where to go next, when they saw that Yu Xing had stopped and had no intention of continuing to move.
"What's going on?" Carlos asked, "You're staring at the lake. Is the entrance at the bottom of the lake? Wait...is it really at the bottom of the lake?" Halfway through he asked, he realized, yes, why can't it be at the bottom of the lake.
The strange fish in the ancestral hall is also in the underground river. Maybe it is guarding something. Isn't it also in the water? Maybe the demon just prefers water.
"That's right." Yu Xing said to the team, "There is a hidden artificial corridor in the lake. The entrance section is large enough for a person to pass through fully armed, but I don't know how deep it is. For safety reasons, this is the first time. All it takes is one person to dive.”
“Fortunately, our underwater equipment is complete.” Mr. Li smiled and patted the man with glasses, “Let's go down and explore the road.”
Seeing Yu Xing's puzzled look, Mr. Li explained to him: "This guy has the best water skills here. He can dive more than ten meters without the help of diving equipment, and he can hold his breath for a long time. It's dangerous underwater. Just let him go.”
Yu Xing originally thought that if everyone was of average water quality, he would go down alone. If he was alone and encountered danger, for example, if a strange fish bit him inside, he could just lie and claim that he didn't bite him. An excuse to pass over a scar that shouldn't be so shallow.
But since Mr. Li had so much trust in the man with glasses, Yu Xing couldn't bear to offend him and silently stepped aside. He told the man about the entrance situation he saw last time and watched the man with glasses put on waterproof glasses. Wear a tight-fitting wetsuit and waterproof communications equipment.
The remaining people were divided into two groups. One group wanted to follow after confirming safety, and the other group stayed above to debug the machine and provide remote support. The family of tomb robbers left three people down. Only the man with eyes and Mr. Li would do it. Go down, among the mercenaries, Ash goes into the water, while Shijiu stays behind.
Will was allowed to rest by the lake because he was not in good spirits, and could help remotely if anything happened.
So, seven of the twelve will go down.
But regardless of whether he was going into the water or not, after the man with glasses jumped into the lake, he stared at the monitor eagerly.
There are now several large-scale machines that have just been assembled on the shore of the Live Tail Lake. The machines are divided into two parts: an operation console and a display screen. The man with glasses has a built-in camera embedded in his swimming goggles. Through the display screen, everyone can view the left half of the machine. The screen shows what the man with glasses saw, while the screen on the right is a radar-like interface with a red dot of the man's position and the number "1" marked above the red dot.
After what happened at the ancestral hall, Carlos specifically reminded the man with glasses to shine a bright flashlight before going down. If there are strange fish or other creatures hiding in the water, they will be interested in the bright flashlight.
The man with glasses has already followed the instructions. It seems that Live Tail Lake is really safe and nothing will react to the flashlight.
Through the display screen, everyone saw the unobstructed scenery under the lake. Carlos asked Yu Xing: "Where is the entrance?"
Yu Xing pointed to an inconspicuous small bump at the bottom of the lake on the screen: "This is below."
Carlos understood. He put the generator in the device to his mouth and said to the man with glasses: "Stop, look to the right - do you see it? There is a bulge there, swim a little over there."
The man with glasses quickly touched the top of the bulge, and after a slight pause, he discovered that there was a whole other world behind the small bag.
It was a deep and narrow corridor going downwards. As Yu Xing said, the walls of the corridor were smooth and could only be constructed manually.
The man with glasses did not have glasses for myopia at this time, but when he entered the lake, he was like a fish entering the sea, as if he could see everything.
Under the command of Carlos, he officially swam into the corridor. The people who stayed above were also very excited. It seemed that this time it was really impressive. The underground tomb that had been searched for so long might be found at this time. seen!
The corridor was long and narrow, and the man with glasses had no obstruction and kept swimming in. About thirty seconds later, the corridor turned, from downward to forward.
Mr. Li immediately calculated: "According to his speed, the corridor has gone down about five meters. Adding the depth of the lake itself, the place where he is swimming now is about ten meters underground."
"This cemetery is deep enough. As long as the geology has not undergone drastic changes, the building can only be built ten meters deep underground through water." Lin slowly said, but already clenched his hands.
Yu Xing also looked at the man with glasses expectantly. He hoped that the corridor would not be too long, so that they would not have to waste time preparing most people to enter the water.
