Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

121 - Strange City
121 Chapter 121 Strange City
The little brother rinsed my hands, took out the needle and sterilized it. He held my little hand with the needle and pricked the two ends of the larger blisters. He flattened them with cotton balls and squeezed out the water. He came out and gently applied the medicine to me, but he was gentle. After applying the medicine and cleaning it up, he planned to let me take a rest.

I knew in my heart that he felt sorry for me, and I leaned in his arms obediently, but how could I sleep? I was already in front of the bronze door...

The little brother tilted his head and looked at the little girl in his arms quietly. Seeing that I was worried, he knew that I must be thinking about him. He stared with two big eyes like big lanterns. He wanted to blink at this moment. Don't dare to blink.The little brother thought to himself, I am really afraid that I will disappear suddenly.

While he was coaxing me, he was thinking about something quietly.I have always done things my own way, and my heart is as calm as water. I can even talk about my past without a trace of emotion. But now I am a little at a loss whether to take the little girl with me or not to move forward.

I still felt in my heart that it would be best for the little girl to live a carefree life in a place like Qilin City.

I even thought about it more than once, or simply knock her out and directly use her mobile phone to contact the people in Qilin City to take her back. But in that case, the girl must be very sad. After all, she promised not to leave her behind. I won't leave alone, and I don't want to lie to her.

The little girl is usually well-behaved and obedient, but in this case, not only was she disobedient, she was even a little willful and rebellious.And she is a little Qilin. If she really gets angry and gets competitive, maybe no one can stop her.But if I take her with me, will those people attack her?

Although he thought a lot, he didn't show it. He still looked indifferent to everything, sitting there quietly, comforting the little girl in his arms.

I know that there is the core content behind the door, and he will never let me know or touch it. I am not interested in those secrets. I just want to guard one person. But sometimes, the more seemingly simple things are, the more difficult they are. It's difficult...

As I was thinking about it, my eyelids began to tighten, and all the fatigue I felt just now came back. My little brother kept protecting my little face, and from time to time he would also protect my eyes. As soon as he coaxed me, I felt a little carried away. I couldn't stand it any longer. As expected, I couldn't resist him. Without realizing it, I fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but I woke up in a daze. The moment I opened my eyes, I was shocked. My whole body froze, my heart felt cold, and a cold breath rushed to my head. , the scene in front of me made me freeze, and I didn’t dare to move. I once wondered if I was dead...

I sat on the cold stone floor and slowly turned around. There was a tall stone tablet leaning against my back. In front of me was a place I had never seen before. It was huge, foggy, cool and eerie.

This is like a city, but this city is very strangely long. There are houses with tile roofs here, but all the houses are only about one person tall. They vary in size from big to small. Each one has no windows or doors, only one. Like an abyss-like black hole, the hole is bottomless, as if there is something inside.

There are street lamps here, all of which are very simple wooden old-fashioned lamp stands with lanterns hanging on them. But there is no lantern or lamp on them. There are only blue fire balls floating in the air, flickering at the place where the lantern should be hung. There is a light stand like this every five meters on both sides of the street. The street is very bright under the firelight, but under the blue light it always feels gloomy and weird.

Blue flames. I know that under normal conditions, high-temperature flames of over [-] to [-] degrees can be this blue, but they cannot float in the air.

Hydrogen burns in the air and is light blue, but when the percentage of hydrogen and air reaches a certain value, it will explode. If an ordinary hydrogen balloon does not leak and comes into contact with the air, it will explode when it encounters an open flame, so now it is filled with that kind of gas. Balloons that can float are made of helium.With such dangerous gas, and the whole street was on fire, the street would have been blown up long ago, and that was definitely not the case.

Carbon monoxide also has a blue flame when burning in the air, but it is extremely poisonous in a certain amount and can kill people. Only at this amount would you be crazy to use this as a lamp.

Is it possible that blue flames are also lit by spiritual sources? Just like Zi Yan, she can ignite purple flames. The purple flames must have a high temperature of more than [-] degrees. The most powerful phoenix fire of Blood Phoenix is ​​also blue. The purple mix is ​​amazing, it scared me to death last time, but no one uses this to light street lights, what a waste of spiritual energy.

You said that if you had green flames floating around, I would still understand. Wouldn't a will-o'-the-wisp be a phosphorus fire? It can also prove that there may be a cemetery or a tomb nearby. What kind of ghost is this blue one of yours? It's not normal, it's very abnormal. .

The streets here are empty, with no people, no cars, no shops... no flowers, plants, trees, no birds, fish and insects, nothing. It is extremely quiet, and it can be said that there is no breath of living things.

What the hell is this place? Generally speaking, dreams don’t hurt, right, but I pinched myself quietly and it hurt so much. Isn’t this a dream?Memory fragments, that's not right. The process of restoring memory fragments is always blank.Or foreknowledge?This is not the case with pre-sense prediction... This is too real.

well?No, I'm not with my little brother. Where is my brother... I would rather stay with the Yin soldiers than be here alone... But how can I go back... I'm trembling I stood up holding the stone tablet, but my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand straight. I looked back at the stone tablet. There were characters engraved on it, but I didn't recognize any of them. The characters were twisted and twisted like insects. lying on it.

There is a map engraved on the lower half of the stele, but there is only a map without words. There is a small pattern on it. I got closer to the stele and took a closer look. It turned out to be the symbol of a small unicorn. Isn't this Zi Yan's unicorn symbol... Looking back Looking carefully at this drawing technique, I was shocked when I thought it looked familiar, and my brain was not working very well, but this...

Just when I thought of this, I heard a sound that seemed to be a bell coming from the distance, "Dingling~Dingling~" every now and then. The frequency was not fast and the sound was very steady. The sound of this bell was very special. If it were in the midst of the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, In the environment, the sound of the bell must be very comfortable to listen to. It is very soft and very similar to the sound of water. But now in this environment, any sudden sound will only be a scary sound, especially when it is extremely quiet here. The sound was almost surround sound, and it had echoes.

The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, but I looked around and didn't see anything. When I was scared to death, I would squat down and huddle up, clinging to the stone monument. I just wanted to know, how on earth could I go back……

Suddenly a ray of purple light appeared in front of my eyes. I was so scared that I choked. I felt that this light had a spiritual source. It was a very familiar spiritual source. It was purple. Could it be Zi Yan? It floated in front of me with a "swish", like It was flying up and down like a butterfly, making the sound of bells as it moved...

Then it started to circle around me, as if it was sizing me up. Suddenly, it stopped in front of me, very close to me. If it was closer, I would be eye-catching, and I was too scared to dare. It moved, and it tentatively tapped my forehead, as if a gun was suddenly pointed at your head, which scared me so much that I almost lost my breath.

In the blink of an eye, the purple light "swished" from my forehead and penetrated into my head. Then the center of my eyebrows started to hurt, and my head started to feel dizzy.

At this time, I vaguely heard my brother's voice. His voice echoed around me. He was calling me, and he looked very anxious. My head hurt and I felt dizzy. I weakly muttered: "Brother..." I wandered After a few "gurgles", he fell to the ground.

The little brother coaxed me to sleep, and he closed his eyes to rest. A long, long time passed, at least two hours.Suddenly in his arms, I frowned and breathed quickly. The brother who was resting felt that something was wrong with me and immediately opened his eyes. He saw that I seemed to be frightened by something. He felt for my pulse and his heartbeat was so fast. , my little hands were cold and I was sweating.

The little brother called me: "Girl, girl." He called me several times, but I didn't respond at all. He didn't have time to care about the little foxtail. He first let me listen to the heartbeat to see if it worked. Wearing clothes in the snowy mountains It was too thick. In order for me to hear clearly, the little brother supported me with one hand and took off his coat with the other hand, leaving only a close-fitting singlet, so that I could get closer to him and listen to his heartbeat. He also put the jacket he took off on my body.

After setting my position, the little brother reached into my collar and touched the chain of the little foxtail, pulled it out to see if it was flashing, and pulled it out a little to see that it was indeed flashing badly, and quickly put it back for me.

He called me from time to time, patted my face, shook me, and tried many methods to wake me up, but he couldn't wake me up.The current appearance is not like a coma, but more like a nightmare, but the little foxtail will not flash when it is a nightmare, it must be memory fragments.Every time the memory fragments are restored, the girl's situation is different. The only thing that remains the same is that if the memory fragments are not handled well, the girl will die.The little brother was a little anxious and frowned, but there was no better way. I could only see if the heartbeat could be controlled. As long as the heartbeat was useful to me, the girl would be fine.He saw that my little hands seemed to be grabbing something, so he held my hand tightly.

After a long period of time, my heartbeat slowly slowed down, my little hands were no longer so cold, and I felt more relaxed, which proved that the heartbeat was working, but I still couldn't wake up, and my expression was still uncomfortable and scary. look.

The little brother helped me up, held my face with both hands and tried to call me again. Finally, after calling me "girl, girl" a few times, I slowly opened my eyes, and my whole body was stunned.

The little brother asked softly: "Girl, are you okay?"

I said dumbly and in a weak voice: "My head feels a little uncomfortable."

The little brother breathed a sigh of relief and finally woke up. He was so frightened just now, and then he hugged me into his arms again, stroking me and saying, "It's okay. Let's rest for a while." He followed me in a daze. I fell asleep again. My brother saw that I fell asleep peacefully this time, and his heart felt at ease.

At this time, Wu Xie woke up in a daze. In fact, he had not slept to death. He heard the voices of Fatty and Pan Zi talking. He looked at his watch and saw that he had slept for about three or four hours. He found that they Walking the tomb passage again, Shunzi looked pale and panting, obviously he had just run back.Looking at Fatty's face again, it was obvious that the result was still the same, and the cycle started again.

Wu Xie stretched, rubbed his eyes, and asked them, "What are you doing?"

The fat man said: "I haven't had any clue after thinking for a long time, so it's better to experiment directly. We just asked two people to be connected with a rope. One person walked in front with his eyes closed, and the other person watched from behind to see if it would work. Halfway through, the person with his eyes open will suddenly turn around. But in the end, no matter whether he is blindfolded or closed, he feels that he is walking in a straight line, but in the end he still walks back to the tomb."

Wu Xie's scalp went numb when he heard this and said, "Thanks to you guys for being so smart, if you let me do this, who knows if the person pulling on the other end of the rope halfway through is still the same person."

The fat man said to him: "Fuck you, you don't have a good word in your mouth."

Several people sat back in their seats, and Wu Xie said, "Let's save some energy, don't blindly experiment first, and then think carefully about our ideas."

After many twists and turns, several people were exhausted. During the discussion, some people always couldn't bear it and fell asleep, while those who were awake continued to brainstorm ideas.Before they knew it, six or seven hours had passed, and their stomachs began to growl again.

This time I had a solid sleep, and my brother also slept for a while, but he woke up earlier than me. When I woke up, he looked at me with soft eyes, and I told him what I saw. Those weird things.I guessed and said: "Although none of us can explain it, what is certain is that Xiaofeng Tailshan, your heartbeat can save me, then it must be memory fragments. It's just that this time is very different, and it is very real. I still pinch myself." It will hurt. Zi Yan’s clue is definitely not accidental. It is the thing that got into my head... I think it has something to do with Zi Yan."

The little brother patted me and said, "Don't think about it, you will always know."

I said "yes" and agreed. When I sat up, I realized that he was wearing a small singlet. His coat was wrapped around me, so he was sitting there wearing a small singlet and taking care of me. He must have been taking care of me for a long time. , I quickly put my coat on him and said to him: "Have you been sitting like this? Put it on quickly, you will catch a cold, and it will be uncomfortable to be sick." Then I touched his forehead, and then She touched herself and said to him: "It seems okay, come and get dressed." She put her clothes on him consciously, and he cooperated very well.He just looked at me Guqiu quietly, seemingly very happy, but nothing could be seen from his expression.

I took out my Kirin Sachet Treasure Bag from my bag. Thinking that it had been a long time since I last ate, I took out a Lingyuan-type small heater and got some hot food. They also prepared ginger soup for him. The two of them ate and drank some, and then rested for a while.

They discussed for a long time, and finally the fat man lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and said to them: "No, it would be a waste of time for us to think about it scatteredly. Let's write down all the possibilities and summarize them into a few." Articles, wouldn’t it be enough to verify these directly afterwards?”

Wu Xie also thought it was a good idea, so the fat man pulled away the gold objects on the ground, sorted out a stone surface, and then wrote down a few numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, and then said to them: "Let's think about it." We have several hypotheses now, please recall them, they don’t need to be specific, just a general direction.”

Pan Zixian said: "It might be an agency."

Fatty wrote mechanism after 1.

Then Shunzi said: "There may be something affecting our feelings, such as psychological suggestion or hypnosis, allowing us to walk back unknowingly."

The fat man said to him: "Well, there's no need to go into detail, it's just an illusion." After 2, he wrote "illusion."

Wu Xie followed and said: "In theory, it may also be space folding."

Pan Zi said "Ah": "This is impossible, it's too mysterious."

But the fat man said: "No matter what, there is a one in 3 possibility, we will admit that we are just making a memo." He wrote space folding after 4.Following his own thoughts, he said: "Maybe there is a ghost." After saying that, he wrote "Ghost" after the number [-] without hesitation.

Pan Zi didn't understand what the fat man wanted to do and asked him: "What's the point of writing it like this?"

The fat man said: "I don't have much education, so I have to write down everything with a fucking pen. But there is an advantage in this. Once you sort out what you want to do, you will find that there are several things you can do together. This can save a lot of time. We only have two days, so we still have to save some. Oh, by the way, do you still have 5? Who still has 5? "

Wu Xie looked at it and said, "That's all I can think of and what's possible."

Seeing that they didn't respond, Fatty said, "Okay, let's start verification now."
