Yu Xing thought about his experience in Coffin Village and silently wrote down "candle = medium" in his mind.
Zhou Yongsheng needed to use candles and even cursed candle plates to perform rituals and start resurrection, but the rickets did not have this problem. He was closer to the tomb, so he had a stronger control over the concept of "living".
Yu Xing recorded in his mind: "There is a power in the tomb that can replace the medium of candles."
He walked around the ancestral hall for a long time and always felt that he had missed something.
"Although it is now confirmed that the power of resurrection comes from the demon tomb, the connection between the ancestral hall and the tomb has not yet been found. How did the ancestral hall obtain the power of the thing in the tomb, or where did the black coffin come from?
There should be traces left here." Yu Xing began to tap along the wall. Although the wooden walls of this ancestral hall were of normal thickness, if they were not kept intact, there might be some information hidden in them.
His knocking sound seemed to affect the rickety man sleeping in the black coffin. The coffin made a muffled sound, but Yu Xing paid no attention to him and continued to look for information.
He guessed that the sleep in the black coffin must be deep and fixed, and related to the secret of resurrection. It was impossible to gain such a strange and powerful power just by sleeping.
So even if the rickets are woken up, there is a high probability that they will not be able to come out.
Sure enough, even though Yu Xing made a decoration-like noise, the rickety man only hit the coffin wall twice in the coffin. The coffin lid trembled and seemed to be pushed open with great force. But this time the rickety man failed to sit up. He seemed to be sitting up.
It's like being imprisoned in a coffin.
Yu Xing was particularly curious about what was happening in the coffin. He even wanted to take the rickets out and lie down in the coffin to feel it.
However, it is wrong to be so arrogant just because someone else is lying in a coffin and cannot get out. It is not advisable to disturb the people. Yu Xing's next movements were much gentler. His fingers with clear joints stroked the mold-covered surface of the wall and found the gaps in the wood.
Linger in.
"Water...moist..." He murmured to himself, and the underground river he had guessed outside flashed in his mind.
“There is something under the ancestral hall.” After a while, Yu Xing became determined and lowered his gaze to the ground.
“What’s there?” asked a familiar voice.
ˆ Yu Xing: “…”
Yu Xing: “Ha.”
He was stunned for a moment, looked above his head, and then smiled with an unknown meaning.
The top of the ancestral hall is also a mortise and tenon structure, and the splicing is perfect. Fortunately, he has not noticed the space on the beams. The sound came from above his head, and he looked up with interest. He saw a small white head coming from above.
He reached out and grabbed the wooden beam with both hands.
“That’s awesome, Carlos.” Yu Xing said to the paper man who had been hiding on the beam for an unknown amount of time, “You didn’t take the paper man back?”
The paper man made Carlos's voice, but this time he refused to approach Yu Xing. He only answered the message on the beam: "Yes, didn't you say that boys should protect themselves when they go out."
This paper man seemed to be firmly controlled by Carlos. The paper man waved his hands in amusement: "Be more careful, lest my eyes are destroyed by you. Aren't you protecting myself?"
Yu Xing didn’t say anything, he just kept smiling and stared at the paper man.
A few seconds later, the paper man refused to look at him and stepped back, but accidentally fell off and fell to the ground.
It patted the dust on its body and stood up, and told the truth: "Okay, actually you destroyed the body too quickly and lost all the information about you before I took back all the paper figures. I know.
Your future route, so I deliberately left a paper man in the ancestral hall just to follow you again... San, why did you drown my paper man? Don't you think it's a good thing to have one more person to talk to?
?”
"Walking alone in the mountains and forests, it is easy to be affected by loneliness." Carlos' tone was full of smiles, revealing his unique cynicism. Fortunately, he could tell that this man had not suffered a loss on this road.
Yu Xing chuckled lightly and said tentatively in a descriptive tone: "It seems like things are going well over there."
Carlos was indeed very relaxed. He said: "Yes, I understand your reminder. Because I was prepared, the pit behind did not cause any damage. Now the team is returning."
Speaking of this, Yu Xing was a little surprised.
He just reminded Carlos to protect himself, and Carlos realized something was wrong when he was affected by the sense of voyeurism. He dared to deny the source of his inner excitement and calmly looked at it, so he made adjustments. Such understanding and psychological quality are still good.
It was really beyond his expectation.
However, fortunately, Yu Xing's estimate of Carlos' intelligence was always high. He quickly suppressed his appreciation for Carlos's behavior and asked: "What's behind this road?"
"A circular altar, with a memorial to the moon on top." Carlos controlled the paper man to walk slowly on the ground, walking in a direction away from Yu Xing, and his voice became farther and farther away, "Someone in the team speculated that this
It's interference information. There is no connection between the Demon Tomb Palace and the moon at all. This shows that we have indeed been deceived and have gone down the wrong path again."
"You haven't encountered any danger?" Yu Xing looked at the paper man who had escaped eight feet away from him, grabbed it back, picked up the weightless paper man by the neck, and lifted it in front of his eyes, "Or,
Your team is so strong that you are not afraid of traps at all."
"There is red 'paint' on the altar that will be poisonous if touched. It is actually the blood of dead tree mosquitoes. I don't know what method was used to cover up the fragrance. There are also mechanisms on the altar that will fall off if touched. Below
It’s covered with bone vines.”
Carlos spread his hands and made a very innocent gesture: "But after I reminded them, they were not dead, and they only suffered some injuries that could be healed. Our team is strong. I have experienced it all with this expedition team.
I have played the game four times. I am a gamer who specializes in investigator games, so... doesn’t this invite you to join our team?"
“I promise that we will join forces and not hold you back.”
Yu Xing said "Oh" and put the paper man on his shoulder.
“The dead tree gnats and bone vines are the big gray worms and vines I encountered?”
"You've got this point wrong, right? The names of those things are not as important as what I said in the second half. I mean our team is worthy of your joining..." Carlos' paper man sat firmly on Yu Xing's shoulder and insisted.
Constantly nagging, "Are you changing the subject on purpose?"
"Don't think about it. Don't you know that I have joined other camps? Even if I join your team, it is just a time bomb." Yu Xing really wanted to see what Carlos was thinking. He was obviously the cruel type.
It’s impossible to develop a special feeling of wanting to work together again after working together twice, so why bother asking him to join?
His ability does not have a strong advantage in the tomb, and finding him is almost a fruitless task.
Carlos curled his lips, and this expression appeared vividly on his paper man's face: "We are deducers, and we are the most reliable people of our kind. As for deducing the forces in the world, don't you just jump if you want? You
You can come to our team as an undercover agent, I have no objection, as long as my deduction is successfully completed, what does it have to do with how the force develops in the future?"
"The opposite is also true. You can secretly join me and then work as a second-in-command in your investigation studio. Anyway, all you need is to survive the deduction. The power affiliation in the background story is also important to you.
It’s not very important.”
Carlos looked at Yu Xing's emotionless face and talked eloquently: "I invite you to join because I like to conduct deduction tasks with you. You are smart, courageous, and a little bit crazy, which I like most, and
Together, we will not only be safe, but also have a lot more excitement. For example, this time, I have to thank you for reminding me that if you are in my team, then we can avoid this road at the beginning and save two people.
day time."
“What’s more…” Carlos’s voice was drawn out. His words had a magical power that attracted people’s attention. This was probably because he often performed magic. He had rich experience in controlling attention.
"You seem to have discovered the real entrance to the tomb. You just said that there is something underground under the ancestral hall." His little paper man hugged a bunch of Yu Xing's hair, "How can I not take advantage of such an advantage? With you.
The advantages of converging, cooperating, and walking together far outweigh the disadvantages.”
I have to say that Carlos has very keen observation skills, and he is also one of the few people with whom Yu Xing can feel comfortable communicating.
The last one was Zhao Mou.
But this is not enough. I really hope that this deduction can see more surprises from the magician... Yu Xing's eyes rolled up: "So this is how you calculated the benefits."
Before Carlos could figure out what this sentence meant, Yu Xing continued: "I agree. I will temporarily join your team this time and share information with you. But the price is your team's supplies and the like.
Give me a share, and also, listen to my command when necessary, can you do it?"
Carlos thought for a while: "As long as I'm by your side, I can do it. They are quite willing to accept my various proposals."
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back." Yu Xing's eyes flashed, "Now, please ask your paper man to accompany me and go down and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xing stepped hard on a piece of dirty ground in the corner. Suddenly, a square hidden door appeared from the ground, and the dirt on it made two puffs, and passively fell into the door.
.
The sound of objects falling into the water made Yu Xing raise the corners of his mouth. He lowered his eyes and unexpectedly saw a piece of water inside the hidden door.
The water flow was calm and reached half a meter below the door. Because there was no light, it appeared dark in color.
“Awesome, how did you find the hidden compartment? We searched for a long time and still couldn’t find the correct mechanism.” Carlos’s little paper man gave a very careless compliment on Yu Xing’s shoulder and lowered his head to look.
“That may be because you are blind.” Yu Xing said seriously.
The ground in question is in the corner. There is actually a mechanical mechanism underneath, covered with soil.
The reason why Yu Xing was able to find the mechanism quickly after realizing that there was a river under the ancestral hall was because the land was so flat.
The ground of the entire ancestral hall is not very flat. It is full of potholes. Most of the ground is covered with the footprints of rickets. Even some low wooden walls have dirty footprints. But this land does not.
It was well protected, and the rickets seemed to care about it very much and did not dare to step on it.
Furthermore, Yu Xing had already checked the wooden walls and interior furnishings before, but could not find the mechanism. In this case, it would be most likely that the mechanism would be hidden in the only clean place on the ground.
Yu Xing's ridicule made Carlos temporarily shut up. It wasn't until Yu Xing tried to take off his clothes and hide in the door to take a look that Carlos panicked: "Do you remember that I am a paper man now and I can't get wet?
"
“Remember, be prepared to be drowned.” Yu Xing smiled very gently at him.
ˆ Carlos: “……”
He resignedly walked away from Yu Xing's shoulders with his short legs and jumped to the ground: "You go down by yourself and I'll wait for you above, okay?"
“Please me.” Yu Xing became gentler.
Unexpectedly, Carlos had no sense of shame at all. He very decisively controlled the little paper man to lie down on the spot and performed a five-body prostrate: "Okay, I beg you."
A tree without bark will inevitably die. A man without shame will be invincible. Carlos has always done a good job.
This kid is really interesting.
Yu Xing let Carlos go with satisfaction, but instead of taking off his clothes, he pulled off his backpack and groped inside.
Carlos: “Aren’t you going to go into the water?”
"I'm scaring you." Yu Xing's bad taste has never failed. He took out an extremely long telescopic stick from his bag. There was a camera and a light at the end of the telescopic stick, which were connected to a palm-sized screen on the handle of the stick.
.
This is the detection stick prepared by Brother Sun's team.
This thing is specially used to see vertical caves or under the sea that blocks the light. It is very practical in tomb robberies. He believes that Carlos’s team must also have prepared probing sticks, but he uses Carlos to “drown the paper man” and “drown the paper man”.
The warning of "losing sight of San's side" diverted Carlos' attention.
Carlos knew that he had been tricked by Yu Xing in the end, and was speechless for a moment.
He discovered one thing. Yu Xing seemed to like to break other people's ease. Is this a strange hobby?
As someone who has watched the live broadcast of Yu Xing's death parallel line, Carlos secretly thought, could this be the sequelae of facing an actor? When it comes to the temperament of ease and calmness, no one has more say than the actor. In all
In the public records that can be found, the actor never seemed to show panic.
Actually, Carlos is not very sensitive to the puzzles or clues in the mission, but as a magician, he has been dealing with audiences who want to expose his magic tricks all year round, and is very good at spying on people's personalities and psychology.
He is born to play games with others.
So, during the brief contact, he found the part that Yu Xing himself was not aware of and was indirectly affected by the actor.
Here Carlos was still thinking, while Yu Xing had already extended the probing stick one by one into the water and turned on the switch on the screen.
After a brief reaction, an underwater scene appeared on the screen. Under the light of the probe's built-in light, the underwater scene came into the eyes of Yu Xing and Carlos's paper figures.
It was dark under the water, about five or six meters deep.
Yu Xing moved the probe slowly, taking pictures of different spaces.
At this moment, there seemed to be a shadow in the picture. Carlos let out a strange sound: "What is this moving thing?"
Yu Xing looked at it and said calmly: "Oh, it's a mouth."
