Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 253 Decision
253 Chapter 253 Decision

It was actually expected that Wen Jin would make this decision, but why would he have to watch her find her end so soon...

I really wanted to stop her, but I also understood that her decision was carefully considered. She had to do it for others and herself. No matter how reluctant we were, the time had come when we couldn't stop it. Apart from facing it, there is no way out. As I think about it, my eyes become slightly red...

Wu Xie immediately wanted to stop her after hearing her words, but was stopped by his little brother. I called him softly: "Brother Wu Xie." I shook my head at him.

Wu Xie looked at his little brother. They looked at each other. He suddenly realized that Menyouping and Xiaoxun were just like him. They wanted to help Wenjin but were unable to do anything. Wenjin’s situation was different from ours. We There was still room for choice, but she... she only had this last chance. She had no choice. Wu Xie had no choice but to sigh and stop blocking him.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jin began to prepare for departure. Her movements were very agile, and she was heard shouting: "Get up, please help me connect the rope."

Just as the little brother took the rope, she called again: "Xiao Xun, come here."

I was stunned for a moment, and the little brother said to me: "Go ahead."

Following me two steps forward, Wen Jin took my wrist and led me to the bottom of the cave entrances. She illuminated the holes with a miner's lamp, and I followed her to take a look. Each hole was almost as big as a tar bucket. The holes were almost vertical, and she was choosing one to go in later. I looked at her with unabashed reluctance, and sighed as I watched her.

After she finished checking, she turned to me and smiled lightly and said, "Why, you are so reluctant to leave me."

She still looked at me so gently, and I said to her: "Aren't you asking questions knowingly? I know I can't stop you now, and I don't have any good way to help you, but the situation in this hole is unknown, so you just go in like this It’s too dangerous. Can’t we just stretch it out for a few more days and think of a solution?”

Wen Jin touched my head but said nothing. I took out a sticker of mine from my bag, handed it to her, and said to her: "No matter what happens, at least I can find you."

She glanced at it, stretched out her hand to take it, and said, "Okay."

She leaned forward and whispered in my ear: "He cares about you very much. Although he may not express it clearly, bystanders like us can see it clearly."

She suddenly changed the topic. I was stunned at first, but I immediately realized what she meant. My face felt hot and I didn't know if it was red or not. I stuttered slightly and said, "I...I...I know." Eyes I unconsciously went to look at my little brother. He noticed that I was looking at him and glanced at me. I continued to stutter: "Why... why did you suddenly say this."

Wen Jin said: "I am happy to see you getting better and better. Remember, you have to take care of yourself and protect yourself, so that you can protect the people you love."

"Love...the one I love..." This seems to be an upgraded version of "love". When she said this, my heart beat loudly. Suddenly, I don't know whether it was enlightenment or brainwashing. My mind was filled with " The one you love...the one you love." Then he looked at the little brother even more uncontrollably. His face must have turned red and his ears were warm.

Wu Xie was still worried about letting Wen Jin go, so he wanted to find someone to take her place. He carefully tried to touch everyone here, but found that this idea was good, but it was unlikely to be realized.

Although the size of this hole is not too small, if you want to get in, you must use your knees or soles to climb up the hole wall. In this case, the men here are too tall, and they will not be able to fully bend after entering. Can't use force.If the diameter of the hole inside becomes smaller, even a fat person may get stuck.

He sighed slightly. It seemed that only Wen Jin and Xiao Xun, who was more petite than her, could barely use their strength, but Wen Jin and Men You Ping certainly wouldn't let Xiao Xun go.

The little brother quickly tied up the rope and handed it over. Seeing that I seemed very nervous and my face was flushed, he hurriedly reached out and touched my forehead, fearing that my fever was getting worse again.

In the past, I felt that this action was extremely normal. Did I feel sorry for me? I would be shy, nervous, my heartbeat would speed up, and the deer would bump around at 100 to 120 times per minute. But after what Wen Jin said just now, I felt There seemed to be a dragon rolling in his heart, and the pulse of his wrist was beating visibly to the naked eye. Such shy beatings were rare. He held up my face, looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

His heart was beating too fast, and his mouth was trembling a little as he said to him, "No...it's okay."

Wen Jin said: "I have returned Xiaoxun to you, and it's time for me to set off."

As she spoke, Wen Jin tied the noose around her waist. She asked the fat man to lift her onto his shoulders, leaned into the hole, and then pushed the fat man hard to get in.

Although she was agile, we were still worried about her and kept looking at the entrance of the hole where she entered. Wu Xie looked at her and shouted: "Be careful."

Wen Jin responded with a "yes", then lowered her head and glanced at Wu Xie. Wu Xie felt that her face looked a little strange, and then she smiled at Wu Xie and began to crawl deeper. Wu Xie Suddenly I felt an ominous premonition.

I have gradually calmed down my nervous mood. I saw that Wu Xie's expression seemed to have some subtle changes. I felt that it was related to Wen Jin. I sensed the positioning mark for Wen Jin. At this time, Wen Jin was moving and not stopping. , but the movement seemed very slow, maybe because he saw something inside.

As they lowered the rope to her, they watched as she gradually worked her way up and deeper into the hole, until the mine light watching her disappeared.

After that, we waited below for half an hour. Wu Xie was restless. Based on what he saw just now, he speculated: "I saw that she was crawling very hard just now and her movements were relatively slow. I guess she might also crawl this time." Just walk out less than 50 meters.”

Then he looked up at the entrance of the cave for another ten minutes. His neck started to feel stiff and he kept rubbing it with his hands. Then he couldn't take it anymore, so he sat down to rest like Uncle San and the other guys. He took off his clothes and wiped it with soju. The body dispels cold.

We all stayed at the entrance of the cave. During this period, except for the fat man who continued to put ropes inside the cave entrance, he would check with Wen Jin inside after more than ten meters and send a few signals. No one else spoke, and the surrounding atmosphere was quite intimidating. depressed.

As time goes by, I become more and more worried about the little brother next to me. He is very silent, so silent that it feels like the air around me has solidified.

After waiting for about an hour, I suddenly heard the fat man say "hmm".

Wu Xie immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

The fat man said: "The eldest sister didn't respond."

We walked over and saw the fat man pulling the rope a few times. The rope was pulled down a little, but no one pulled the rope back.Wu Xie motioned to the fat man to try again. I sensed the positioning mark and stared at it. I found that it was not moving. It had stopped.

The fat man pulled again, and the rope was still pulled down. He frowned and said, "No, the rope is very light. It seems that there is no one tied to the other end."

When the little brother heard this, his expression changed and he immediately said to the fat man: "Pull her out!"

The fat man immediately exerted force, and the rope slid down quickly. This was obviously because the end had no weight and no force was needed at all.

The rope was pulled out by the fat man like running water. When it was pulled vertically, the rope became a ball and fell out of the hole. It all hit Wu Xie and entangled him inside.

Wu Xie hurriedly broke away from the rope and picked up the end of the rope. He saw that it was a knotted and intact rope. I said, "There are no signs of cutting on this rope. In other words, Wen Jin untied it himself." , it seems she is determined to stay.”

They looked at each other, Wu Xie was anxious but full of doubts and said: "Damn it, this is the rope that Wen Jin untied by himself? Why did she untied the rope!"

I said softly: "Because this is meteorite."

Naturally, the little brother had already thought of it. With a solemn expression on his face, he suddenly pushed me towards Wu Xie and said to me, "Don't follow me."

Without looking back, he pressed the fat man's shoulders, used his strength to step on the fat man's back, and then jumped into the hole.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and he shrank upwards in a few clicks, leaving no chance to stop him.The fat man shouted to him anxiously: "Rope! Bring the rope!" But he ignored it.

I was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Wu Xie helped me steady and said, "He can't do it without a rope! Fatty, squat down."

The fat man was furious: "Damn it, you fucking think I'm just a groom."

Wu Xie was too lazy to pay attention to his little mood. Without saying a word, he started to climb up crookedly against his body. The fat man muttered a little, but it was just a complaint, so he still gave Wu Xie a hand.

Wu Xie pushed hard and his legs jumped up, but unfortunately he didn't have enough strength. He held his breath and supported the wall of the hole to try to lift his feet up. The result was as expected. He didn't hold on for a few seconds before he slipped down and fell directly. I tried it again on Fatty, but the result was still the same.

Wu Xie fell down twice in succession. He looked down at the entrance of the cave and felt lucky, because he immediately understood that his physical condition would definitely make him unable to enter, so he had to stand up, rub the painful place where he fell, and looked up to see his little brother struggling. advance inside the hole.

I walked to the bottom of the cave and looked up. It was obvious that my brother was too tall. Wenjin would be able to move freely when he entered the cave. His knees could not use force at all, so he could only move up little by little with small steps. Wearing it consumes a lot of energy.

As I watched, I became angrier, but I really couldn't get angry. I was angry because, even though I had promised that I would accompany him, he still rushed out to take risks on his own, and asked me not to follow him.

I couldn't get angry because, although he said "Don't follow me" in a slightly commanding tone, he was actually protecting me. Although the specific situation inside was unknown, it was obvious that it was not a place where you could just get in and get out. , regardless of whether he remembered what was going on inside, he would say the same thing to me.

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and quickly calmed myself down, but I was thinking, do I really have to be obedient this time? What should I do...

Now there are two voices in my heart, one is to listen to him and wait here obediently, and the other is to chase after him if he is not obedient... Although I am my little brother's good baby, and I don't want to make him angry, but if something really happens to him, brother But there is only one. When he comes back safely, can't I just be his good baby again?

As I was thinking about it, I heard Wu Xie muttering: "Could this meteorite be alive? These holes are traps for it to eat. The stuffy oil bottle is trapping itself."

I turned to look at him expressionlessly, and I suddenly had an idea. Since Wang Zanghai arrived here but gave up here, then this is not what he wanted, and he does not have a complete method of immortality, that is, what is here It's useless for immortality, so isn't this just an abandoned warehouse where failed experiments are stored?
Wu Xie saw that I was suddenly acting strange. He turned towards him with an expressionless face and dull eyes. He was startled and asked, "Xiao Xun? Xiao Xun? Are you okay?"

I glanced at him and said calmly: "I'm fine."

At this time, I had decided to go find him, but I had to wait for him to walk further in. Otherwise, I had to wait and see the situation before rushing over. He would definitely be angry. Anyway, we have a position, and there are Induction, I don’t care what the hell is inside him, I will find him no matter what, but if he doesn’t come out after a while, you can’t blame me for not listening to him. I don’t want to lose my brother, and he can understand me. heart.

The fat man standing aside whispered in Wu Xie's ear: "This girl must have been overstimulated by letting the little brother throw her here. Why did she suddenly seem to be possessed by the little brother."

Wu Xiete whispered: "Don't talk nonsense."

I felt that they were muttering about me, so I gave them a cold look, then continued to stare at the hole, and sat down under the hole.

The fat man and Wu Xie looked at each other. This time, Wu Xie thought that the fat man meant what he said, so he nodded to him. The fat man saw that Wu Xie agreed with his point of view and nodded accordingly.

Wu Xie thought to himself, after all, Menyou Ping had given Xiaoxun to him before chasing him out. It seemed that Menyou Ping had asked him to keep an eye on him, so he quietly sat next to me and looked up at his little brother. Case.

After a while, the little brother completely disappeared into the depths of the hole. Wu Xie could no longer sit still and stood at the entrance of the hole looking in. He was hoping that both of them could come back safely.

I thought about giving him some time to research the secrets of his family first, but time passed by, until ten hours had passed, and there was still no movement between him and Wen Jin, and Wen Jin's position was still unclear. Move, brother, I can feel that he is still fine, but he keeps moving and occasionally disappears for a while. It seems that there may be more than just a stone in it.

Wu Xie waited impatiently and anxiously at first. As he waited, his mood gradually changed. His mind, which was already numb at first, went blank. However, Xiaoxun, who was sitting next to him, was extremely calm from beginning to end. He was a little worried, and there was no sound from these holes. It was as if these two people had been taken to another world by these holes, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
