America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 198
Although Chen Jianqiu guessed that Holmes' reaction in this state might not be normal.

But I still didn't expect that the geologist, who is normally powerless, would suddenly let go of his feet and run out.

Chen Jianqiu rushed forward with a stride, and grabbed his back with one hand.

Normally, even if Holmes was allowed to run a few more steps, Chen Jianqiu would still be able to catch him with a single sprint.

He's done this more than once before.

However, when Chen Jianqiu's hand was about to touch the neckline of the geologist, the man in front seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and jumped forward.

Chen Jianqiu actually caught a blank.

Holmes fell to the ground, but then put his hands on the ground, jumped up from the ground like a spring, and staggered forward in a strange posture.

"Holmes!" Chen Jianqiu didn't care about any sympathy anymore, roared angrily, and chased after him in three steps at a time.

The geologist ahead, however, raced off into the darkness with incredible speed.

This is not the speed of a normal person.

He was getting closer and closer to the edge of the torch's light coverage.

At the moment when his back was about to sink into the darkness, Holmes suddenly turned his head and grinned in Chen Jianqiu's direction.

An evil smile appeared on the geologist's face.

Holmes is crazy!

Before Chen Jianqiu could think too much, he picked up the torch in his hand and threw it at the geologist.

However, the torch drew an arc and fell directly to the ground.

Nothing hit.

Chen Jianqiu ran over, picked up the torch from the ground, and lifted it up to illuminate the surroundings.

There is nothing around, nothing.

Holmes, gone.

In the empty cave, there is no sound of footsteps, no echo, just like the world has evaporated.

This is so weird.

Chen Jianqiu has never encountered this kind of situation since he traveled.

Chen Jianqiu focused his attention, and he tried to turn on the shooter mode.

For these, he has practiced very proficiently without any assistance. In this regard, he is more accomplished than his master Adam.

Today, however, it seems to be different.

Chen Jianqiu only felt that his brain was severely suppressed by something.

Whenever he tried to raise his focus, he couldn't get the response from his own body.

After several attempts, Chen Jianqiu gave up.

Chen Jianqiu looked around.

The darkness around the light of the torch was like an iron curtain, covering him in it, making people feel an inexplicable suffocation.

Just now he was chasing Holmes all the way without paying attention to the direction, so naturally he couldn't judge where he was now.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was a faint light of fire not far away.

It should be Sean and the others. He and Holmes came out to check the situation before, and asked them to wait at the entrance.

Let's meet up with the main force first, and discuss the matter of finding Holmes.

Chen Jianqiu held the torch and walked towards the direction of the fire.

He walked for a while, but found a problem.

The flame that seemed to be not far away, I have not reached until now.

Chen Jianqiu remembered that he and Holmes should not have walked very far just now, they just walked around the edge of the square for some distance.

No matter how big this cave is, its diameter cannot be so exaggerated.

What's even more outrageous is that after walking for so long, he realized that the distance between himself and the fire hadn't shortened at all.

In the dark, there may be some deviations in the judgment of distance and time, but it will never be zero to plus infinity.

"Sean! Danny!" Chen Jianqiu called out twice tentatively.

no one responded,
This place is indeed a bit of a villain.

Chen Jianqiu snorted.

He can't be called a staunch atheist, but he has never been afraid of the unknown. On the contrary, he is willing to deal with these evil things.

Chen Jianqiu faced the direction of the fire.

He thought for a moment, then closed his eyes, and took his own steps.

Anyway, it was dark all around, so I didn't even look at it, just walked in the direction I determined and it was over.

No matter what monsters and monsters you are, I will only go all the way.

After counting eighty steps, Chen Jianqiu slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, the flame was very close at hand.

But when Chen Jianqiu got close to the flame, he still frowned.

Because he discovered that the so-called fire in front of him was not the torches in the hands of Sean and Danny, but a bonfire.

Two men with their backs to him, sitting on two stones by the fire,
If half an hour ago, someone told Chen Jianqiu that at the bottom of this dark cave in a closed valley with an exit on a cliff and inhabited by thousands of bats, there were two people sitting by the campfire.

Chen Jianqiu would definitely think he was crazy.

Moreover, when I walked down the road just now, I didn't see any living people or bonfires!
Where did these two people come from?

If the fire wasn't the torches of the peloton, where did everyone but Holmes go?
He even doubted whether he was still at the bottom of the original cave!

However, Chen Jianqiu has always had his own rules for handling such matters.

Since the mystery lies with these two people, it would be good to start with these two people.

He walked to the campfire.

Among the two people, one of them seemed to have heard the noise from this side and turned around.

This is an old Chinese man, wearing a mandarin jacket, with a goatee and white beard and hair.

Chen Jianqiu had seen him.

He had seen the man in his hallucinations earlier on a solo drive on the Thornton Track near Papa James's pasture in Lincolnshire.

The old man also called himself "Chang Luo", which was the same as what was recorded in his previous memory fragments.

Hallucinations or not, if I remember correctly, isn't this old man already dead?Still shot to death.

When the old man saw Chen Jianqiu, it was as if he saw a sworn enemy.

He stood there proudly like a green pine, pointed at Chen Jianqiu and shouted angrily:

"Sinister! I have expelled you from the sect, how dare you come now!"

Chen Jianqiu was at a loss.

Where does this go, uncle, whether you are a human or a ghost, do we know each other well?
But before he could respond, another person by the campfire also stood up, turned his face to this side,

If the old man he saw just now made Chen Jianqiu a little confused, but the turned face made him completely dumbfounded.

The light of the bonfire reflected on his face, his facial features were sharp and angular, his eyebrows were sharp like a sword, but those eyes were a little strange.

This is not who you are?
"Master, your old man is injured, I'll come and meet him for a while." The young man said, and after finishing speaking, he rushed towards himself like an arrow leaving the string.

Chen Jianqiu subconsciously went to take out the gun from his waist, but found that the gun had gone somewhere.

The young man on the opposite side walked extremely sharply, he got close to him in two or three steps, and slapped his neck with his palm.

Seeing the familiar moves, Chen Jianqiu kicked his foot away and clasped his outer foot. After avoiding this chapter, he unfolded his body, clasped and clasped his steps, turned his palms into two knives, and rushed towards the waist of the boy opposite him.

The boy who looked exactly like him was also unequivocal. He saw every move, his waist was like an axis, his hands were like wheels, and he fought with him.

The steps and moves of the two are almost exactly the same.

One walks like a horse wading through mud, like a chicken treading snow, with chicken legs and a dragon body, and a crane walking like a monkey;

The two stood for dozens of rounds, but they were still fighting together, regardless of the outcome.

However, the more Chen Jianqiu fought, the more he understood in his mind. He had a rough idea of ​​what the situation was now.

Either I am in a dream, or I am in my hallucination, or else, I am crazy.

But even if he knew it in his heart, he didn't know how to wake himself up, and he couldn't take it off.

They are all taught by a master, so there is no way to break the trick.

The young boy's attack became more and more fierce, Chen Jianqiu dismantled his moves as he wished.

The two of them fought and came to the edge of the arena.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the bottomless lake on the edge of the site, and his heart skipped a beat.

He sideways dodged the knife from the young man on the opposite side, made a Mongolian wrestling movement, and grasped the young man's shoulders with both hands.

He exerted all his strength, and the two of them tilted their bodies and fell into the lake at the same time.

Don't care what kind of ghosts and monsters, just soak in the water with me before we talk.

The lake water was icy cold, and the boy whose shoulders were held by him didn't struggle. Chen Jianqiu couldn't see his face, but felt that his hands were clasping his shoulders tightly at the same time.

Both of them were sinking, and the water was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Chen Jianqiu said inwardly that it was not good, could it be true?Could it be that I am going to be drowned in this lake by "myself"?
Just when he was about to reach the limit, he suddenly felt that the "self" grasped by his own hands disappeared.

Chen Jianqiu knew that he might have come back. He looked up at the water surface and found that there was a faint light of fire above the water surface.

He struggled to swim to the surface of the lake.

When he was close to the lake, he suddenly pushed upwards, jumped out of the water, and took a big breath of the air in the cave.

"Quick! Quick! Don't breathe the gas in this lake, come ashore!" Chen Jianqiu heard Holmes' voice.

He turned to see the geologist standing on the shore of the lake with a torch, holding out a hand to him.

Chen Jianqiu swam to the shore, took his hand and climbed back to the shore again.

"What happened to me just now?" Chen Jianqiu asked, shaking the water droplets on his head.

"Uh, you just squatted down to look at the lake, and you didn't answer when I asked you. I thought you had something to do, so I went to other places to see first, and when I came back, I saw you punching in the open space, and then suddenly "Boom" and jumped into the lake," Holmes said.

"I did some research later. There should be gaps at the bottom of this lake, and the gas that rises up may cause hallucinations." The geologist pointed to the bubbles that were floating in the lake all the way to the surface of the lake. In caves, people are prone to hallucinations."

"Okay." Chen Jianqiuyun nodded lightly, as if nothing happened just now, "What did you gain?"

As soon as Holmes heard about his work, he suddenly regained his spirits.

"Hey, don't tell me, I really found something useful, come take a look with me."
