Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 593 "Ghost Wall"

"What did you see?"

Seeing that I was stunned after jumping down from the wall, Watermelon Head also prepared to climb up and take a look.

I grabbed him.

"Don't look at it anymore. You can't see anything up there. Just follow my instructions."

"Let's split into two teams. Adong, you lead a few brothers and run forward without stopping. Watermelon Head and I will walk slowly. Let's see how long it takes us to get back to the starting point."

"Hurry up!" I urged loudly.

Adong immediately took a few people and ran forward.

Watermelon Head and I followed behind at a normal walking pace.

"You look like you're in real trouble."

"What's my expression?"

The man with the watermelon head put his hands in his trouser pockets and said as he walked: "You have a frightened expression. Are you afraid?"

I thought about it and said, "There's a place called Zukengyuan in Qiandao Lake. A hundred years ago, the people of Jiangcun built a feng shui formation there called Dragon on the Eight Evils. There's a brick wall in that formation that looks a lot like the screen wall in this courtyard."

"so what?"

"Before I could finish my words, there was a body built into the wall."

"You mean... there's a dead person hiding in this screen wall?"

"Well, look at the thickness of the screen wall. It's obviously thicker than normal. Didn't you ask me what I just saw? I saw the Black Light Evil."

"what?"

I looked at Watermelon Head seriously and repeated, "I said I saw the Black Light Demon."

"What black light evil? Are you kidding me?"

"Damn it! You think I'm kidding you at this moment? I'm telling you, just that look! Even if I can finally leave here alive, I'm going to be in bad luck for three months!"

"You don't understand! Black Light Evil is a type of Light Evil. Light Evil is a natural evil that is everywhere in brightly lit cities. Ninety percent of it is harmless to people, and the remaining ten percent can at most make people uneasy and suffer from insomnia, which is not a big problem. But Black Light Evil is different! It is a fierce evil that can take lives. The boundless darkness I just saw with my own eyes may be the reflection of another world. Fortunately, I noticed it early. If it were an ordinary person, they might become stupid and lost in that darkness forever. This method of "using evil" is far beyond my cognition. Even Uncle Cha should not be able to do it."

"From what you said, you don't let me go up to watch for my own good?"

"Nonsense! If you don't believe me, go up and see for yourself!"

The watermelon-head stopped.

"We are just brothers on the surface at best. If it weren't for my godfather's fondness for you, and if you didn't have Tian Sanjiu backing you up, I would have killed you long ago. I really don't believe you would consider me."

"Don't!"

Gunshots rang out one after another in the empty yard.

The watermelon-headed man fired several shots at the screen wall in front of him.

Suddenly, broken bricks scattered all over the ground.

I saw the man with the watermelon head walk to the screen wall and kick the broken bricks several times. The last kick even kicked a hole in it.

Watermelon Head held up a flashlight and looked inside.

"How is it? Is there any?" I asked nervously.

"look by youself."

"I'm not looking! There must be one!"

I said I wouldn't look at it, but driven by curiosity, I couldn't help but go in and take a look.

I was mentally prepared, but I was still scared.

There was a corpse "standing" inside the screen wall. It was estimated to be about 1.7 meters tall, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman because the body was wrapped in cloth from head to toe. The cloth should have been white gauze, but now it has oxidized into yellow and black.

I touched the corpse's calf.

It feels hard and very cold.

It's like touching ice.

The man with the watermelon head put away the gun and said that I was right, and apologized to me with some embarrassment.

I was a little angry, but didn't dare show it. Now we are in the same boat and we must not fight among ourselves.

"Boss! What's going on? I just heard a gunshot!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard behind me.

I looked back and saw that it was Adong who heard the gunshots and ran over with a few brothers.

This scene was unbelievable. Just now I let Adong run ahead of us, but now he was catching up with us from behind.

"Did you guys jog all the way?"

"Yeah! Didn't you tell us to run? We never dared to stop!"

"Did you hear the gunshots coming from the front or the back?" I asked.

Adong fell into deep thought, seemingly unsure.

A brother beside him confirmed: "The gunshot came from the front."

A Dong looked nervous and nodded: "Yes, it was the gunshots that we heard from the front."

I looked at the time again.

We returned to the screen wall. The difference was that this time we were divided into two teams, one walking and the other running. The time difference was about one minute and ten seconds. Adong and his team ran at a speed of about three to four hundred meters per minute, which means that the yard was roughly this size.

"What's wrong with this wall?"

"You can go and take a look."

Adong took a flashlight and went into the hole in the wall to take a look, then he came out immediately.

"Fuck! I was so scared! Is that a dead body?"

I nodded.

"Whose body is that? How did it get hidden inside the screen wall?"

"I don't know. Maybe someone died a long time ago and was sealed in there," I said.

Adong's face turned pale, and he had lost his previous arrogance. He tremblingly took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Dong...Brother Dong, give me one too."

Ah Dong simply spread a circle of smoke around us all, then he squinted at the screen wall and said, "I know now. The reason we've hit a ghost wall and can't get out of this yard is because of this corpse. Why don't we just light a fire and burn this corpse that has been dead for who knows how many years."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

I shook my head: "It's useless, the body is not the key.

I looked around and said, "The location here is like finding a dragon's acupoint. It's located at the intersection of the earth's energy in these desolate mountains and wild ridges. The structure of this courtyard combines feng shui and the art of winning. It must be the work of Feng Shui Master Bu Ke Liu, who worked for the Jiang family back then. He died a long time ago, and he left this place for the Jiang family. Perhaps he predicted that the Jiang family's descendants would suffer disasters, and this may be the place he left for them to take refuge from the disaster."

The watermelon-head frowned. "This guy you're talking about, whose name is no more than six, would have brought disaster to the Jiang family even if he were still alive today? That's unlikely."

"Nothing is impossible. The legendary Tui Bei Tu is still about the next few thousand years. There are extraordinary people in this world whose abilities are beyond the reach of ordinary people like you and me. In other words, before you came here, could you imagine what you are experiencing now?"

The watermelon-head fell silent.

I continued, "Although there's no evidence, I have a strong feeling that if we don't get out of this yard before daybreak, we may never get out."

"Brother, you always advise us not to scare ourselves, but why are you scaring us now?" Adong said.

"I'm not trying to scare you. I'm serious about what I'm saying."

"Brother Dong! Look!"

Suddenly one of the brothers shouted.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the ground! Your shadow!"

Adong looked down and was stunned for a moment.

Because his right hand was scratched and he didn't dare to use force, his right hand naturally stretched forward, and his left hand was also stretched forward because he was holding the flashlight.

Because of fear, Adong's legs were shaking and his knees were bent.

At this moment, the posture of Adong's shadow on the ground looked exactly the same as the tenth shadow that appeared on the screen wall just now.
