Notes on Tomb Raiders: God will punish evil

For this kind of thing, the hotel owner is very willing to help, because when he dealt with the explosive vehicle, he secretly made a fortune. The car is an imported car, and he can sell a lot of money just by selling scrap parts .

Zhu Minliang and I are not short of money, and we hope to keep a low profile, so the matter was quickly covered up.

Originally, the hotel owner wanted to call the police, but Zhu Minliang first revealed his identity as a policeman. In addition, this is a place where ethnic minorities live in groups. It will happen, so things will be covered up quickly.

Of course, in order to cover up the whole thing, Zhu Minliang paid the hotel owner an extra fee for this.

Because of this, the innkeeper's tricks began to shine brightly, and he ran towards us from time to time, and he greeted us more thoughtfully.

Today, early in the morning, he told us about the killing of priests in the village.

Both Zhu Minliang and I pretended to be curious, and began to question the innkeeper.

Zhu Minliang first asked: "Boss, tell me, what happened to the priests of your tribe?"

Seeing that Zhu Minliang was curious about this matter, the middle-aged boss became even more enthusiastic. He said: "You don't know, the priest in the legend is scary, and it is said that he is the incarnation of Yanhuang God, who specializes in suppressing evil spirits. The villagers here Every year, a pair of virgins and boys are sacrificed to the Yanhuang God to keep the villagers safe."

From the perspective of modern people, such an idea is simply absurd, but the transportation in this village is extremely inconvenient, so the villagers' thinking is seriously backward, and such a barbaric system can continue.

At this time, I couldn't help asking: "Which parents are willing to give their children to Yanhuang God for no reason, and where did these children go after they were sacrificed?"

The innkeeper shook his head and said: "The economic conditions here are poor, so the parents who offer sacrifices will get a sum of money, which is enough to spend the rest of their lives here, so some poor families, with many children, are vying to get it. Dedicating my own children to Yanhuang God is to win glory for the family on the one hand, and to improve the living conditions of the family on the other; as for where these children have gone, I don’t know.”

I remembered the girl's house. The man sent his daughter to sacrifice without telling his wife, all for the money. They never thought about what fate their daughter would face.

Zhu Minliang also became curious at this time, and asked, "Don't you even have any gossip?"

Seeing that Zhu Minliang was really curious, the hotel owner hesitated a little. At this moment, I winked at Zhu Minliang.

Of course Zhu Minliang understood what I meant, he immediately took out a wad of money and handed it to the innkeeper.

The innkeeper took the money, and naturally understood it, and said: "Have you seen the forest in front, that is our ancestral land, and it is said that the soul of the Yanhuang God has guarded there for generations, and the child will naturally be sent to the ancestral land. "

When it came to Zudi, the shop owner seemed to be very careful, and he kept his voice very low.

"The ancestral land..." I started talking to myself, and then asked, "Do you have any history with this ancestral land?"

Seeing my bewildered look, the shop owner carefully looked around and said in a low voice, "Speaking of this ancestral land, it's very weird!"

My face became serious all of a sudden, and I asked, "Are you talking about it, how weird is it?"

The innkeeper said: "God Yanhuang is the guardian god of our ghost clan. His ancestral land should be kept away from evil, but in the past twenty years, suddenly, strange spiders began to appear in the forest, often coming out to hurt people's lives. Moreover, the deceased was tortured very badly, a large hole was opened in the entire skull, and the entire brain was drained."

I asked, "Does the government care about this?"

The hotel owner shook his head and said helplessly: "The government also wants to take care of it, and has called in the armed police force, but it didn't take long before the news spread that the armed police soldier died in the forest, and a big hole was opened in his brain. , Later, no armed police force came over again.”

I wanted to ask something again, but suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the innkeeper's expression changed drastically immediately, and he left in a hurry.

Zhu Minliang said: "In fact, this mystery in the woods has plagued our Mysterious Investigation Bureau for a long time. The Armed Police Corps handed over this case to our Mysterious Investigation Bureau, but we have not had any good breakthrough methods. I lost three brothers, and this time I lost another one, and I am a little embarrassed to explain it."

I patted Zhu Minliang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter."

From the window of the hotel, I saw the crowd frantically rushing towards the village. Obviously, the death of the high priest is also a very big thing.

But what I care about is what to do next.

There are still five days left until the sacrificial day. At that time, boys and girls must be sacrificed to the Yanhuang God. I am wondering whether the so-called Yanhuang God will show up at that time, and whether his true face will be the giant worm , Does this have anything to do with Manning?

The priest is dead, so who will send the virgins to the forest next?

Suddenly, I thought of a person, and he was Zhang Baoying.

Because of the inn, Zhang Baoying and I left before we had a deep chat. Obviously, Zhang Baoying knew the details of the ancient tomb.

I always feel that Zhang Baoying is a little weird. Although his explanation is somewhat reasonable, there is no way to verify it.

I checked the blood-removing knife he gave me repeatedly, trying to find out the information of its former owner, but soon, I was disappointed.

Although the blood-resolving knife opened the way for me, I can feel that I can't communicate with it, unlike my own blood-resolving knife, which feels very familiar in my hand.

I kept thinking in my heart: "Maybe I lack communication with the new blood-removing knife!"

That night, I decided to go to Zhang Baoying again.

Taking advantage of the darkness, I quietly sneaked onto the roof, jumped back and forth a few times, and I had already reached the roof of Zhang Baoying's yard.

It was just nightfall, and there were still frequent people walking around in the small town, but Zhang Baoying's room was very quiet, not even the slightest sound.

My kung fu of listening to the wind and distinguishing positions has been practiced to a certain level. If there is someone's breath in this yard, I will definitely be able to hear it, but now I can't hear anything, which proves that there is no one in this yard.

Where did Zhang Baoying and that mysterious girl go?Using Ti Yunzong's lightness skill, I fell lightly into the courtyard.

In the room near Zhang Baoying, suddenly, a strange smell came to his nostrils.

No, this is the smell of corpses. Could it be that Zhang Baoying suffered an accident.

I have robbed tombs countless times, and of course I can smell the smell of corpses. Judging by the smell, there must be corpses in the house.

I suddenly remembered the sound of explosions that night. Maybe the real target of the enemy was not Zhu Minliang, but Zhang Baoying in front of me.

Zhang Baoying stayed in this small town for 14 years, went into the woods again, and saw the ancient tomb with his own eyes. He must know the unknown secret.

Only then did I regret it. With Zhu Minliang and the others at the hotel, relying on powerful weapons, the corpse spider couldn't do anything to them at all. The opponent's goal was to distract me.

Now that things have happened, I can only knock open the door to see who the dead body in the room is?

In fact, I have used my internal force to forcibly pull the door open.

What I didn't expect was that the house was neat and tidy, and there were no traces of fighting at all. From the surface, there were no corpses either.

However, the stench of corpses became stronger and stronger, and I quickly locked a position.

In the corner of this room, there is a dilapidated old bed, and the stench of corpses comes from under this bed.

I lifted the sheet, only to find that there was a gray old man lying there.

Needless to say, that old man is Zhang Baoying.

Before Zhang Baoying died, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrifying.

However, one notable feature arouses my suspicion.

The mysterious girl had disappeared without a trace, as if the world had evaporated.

The cause of Zhang Baoying's death became the thing I was most interested in. I immediately called Zhu Minliang and asked him to come here.

In fact, the phone signal in this small town has always been bad, but it can still barely make a call.
