There was a strange statue in the middle of the tomb passage. The lighter cast a dim glow so I couldnt see the whole picture clearly, but I already knew that it was a statue of the Thunder God.
The statues color had completely flaked off, leaving only a few patches, and the ceramic surface was rough. The Thunder God held his left hand high while his right hand rested on his waist. His face had been destroyed, but I knew it was a thunder god statue because of the two drums around his waist.
The statue looked very worn. It was possible the pottery had been heated layer by layer, since the outermost layers were broken and peeling off like so kind of mummy. The reason I thought it was so unusual was because the statue was so clean. It was like it was emitting a magic power to keep all the sea cockroaches off of it.
The wall of the tomb passage was practically covered in bugs, and they kept falling on from ti to ti. As I gradually recovered, I could feel the barbs on their legs hooking into my skin.
Actually, now that I noticed it, I was already covered in them.
I kept slapping them away, but I was too afraid to touch the statue. That strange, boisterous sound was coming from the darkness behind it.
Poker-Face had been right below , so it was no accident that the mud broke through the rock wall. When my body was pressed up against it earlier, I could feel that the reliefs were all made from pottery that had been stuck onto the cliff wall. If Fatty and Poker-Face hadnt choked to death, they probably broke the reliefs with a random bump from the hard parts of their body. And if there was also a tomb passage hidden in the wall behind them, then they shouldnt be that far below my feet.
They wouldnt die from sothing like this.
Although I was surprised that I had been a little afraid of death, I felt that this sudden fear probably only belonged to people with my character.
I couldnt help but worry about Liu Sang. He had been in a very bad position just now, but we didnt have ti to take care of him. If he had been buried in the mud, then he was probably in the last few minutes of his life right now.
I set my lighter down and started knocking on the ground with the back of my Kukris blade. The sound transmission here was very good, so the sound echoed clearly throughout the tomb passage.
I didnt want to use my whistle because the sound was too sharp. I didnt know what was in the depths of the tomb passage and I was afraid too much noise might bring danger.
Soon, the sound of tal hitting the ground ca from sowhere below my feet.
Fatty and I had two special tapping communication thods, but they werent Morse code because his English was so poor.
I listened to the sounds, sure that it was Fatty because the tapping rhythm was very familiar. But I was confused as I listened carefully to what he had to say.
The ssage was very strange. Fatty was saying, "Turn off the lights."
If I turn off the lights, I can't see anything, I said to myself. Why turn them off?
