Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 9 Cold Qi, Poisoning

There was a burst of cold air coming from the right side, which made every hair stand on end. The darkness underground was disturbing. Finally, a light came on. It turned out that there was a brazier hanging on the wall, and someone lit the brazier. I looked up immediately, the top of my head was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Save your energy, you won't be able to get out." The hostile man said coldly.

Taking advantage of the firelight, I looked at the soft place just now. It looked like a stone, but it didn’t feel like it to the touch. How can a stone be so soft? When I was thinking, someone pushed me: “Go!”

Withdrawing these doubts, I instead remembered who gave me the blade, could it be Tao Ran?
Thinking of Tao Ran, I looked at her. She was escorted to the front. The back of her head seemed to be very calm, accepting the result of being captured. Just now she looked unwilling to be captured, but now she is so calm, I My curiosity about this woman is getting heavier...

After falling down from the place just now, I have been walking in this long corridor. There are thick bluestone slabs under my feet, and the wall is a bit special. I accidentally touched it with my hand, and it was very slippery. I could slip up and down, and there was still a smell, accompanied by a fishy smell. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation in my fingers. I yelled, and the woman in charge suddenly rushed over and slapped me hard, "Papa " With a sound, half of his face went numb, and the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head in an instant. After living for so many years, it was the first time he was slapped by a woman!

I became furious, grabbed her shoulders and pushed her to the ground, rode up with my legs, pressed her shoulders, and made her unable to move. Someone came to pull me right away, and I was punched hard on the head. Vegetarian, still holding on to her and not letting go: "Seeing that you are pretty, you are still working hard, right? You can't hit a man's face casually!"

"Let go." Under the reflection of the fire, her eyes were shining brightly, and her body was so soft that it made people feel an evil fire: "Otherwise you will die, look at your hands."

The pain in my finger became more and more obvious. I raised my hand, only to see that my finger was swollen, and a black line suddenly appeared on it!Could it be that, after I glanced at the stone wall, that thing cannot be touched?The woman under me pushed me away and rolled to the ground. At the same time, she sat on my waist in turn. When Meng Luo and Tao Ran came over, they were immediately stopped by several others: "Don't move."

The woman's long hair fell on my face, and I blinked: "Are you going to kill me?"

Without saying a word, she suddenly pressed my hand on the ground, pulled out the machete, cut my finger before I could react, and immediately took out a medicine bottle, and sprinkled the powder inside on the wound , That is a heart-wrenching pain, and the five-horse body is nothing more than that, but the one who has the upper hand is a woman, how can I cry and howl like a woman?I held back my breath until I finished treating the wound, looked at this woman, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much."

"Don't touch everything here." Her hair was wet with sweat, revealing an inexplicable charm, a strong femininity came over my face, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Okay."

She finally stood up: "Go on."

The fingers are no longer like my own, Munro asked softly: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, choose one of the two, almost no choice." I smiled wryly, I don't know if it was because I was sweating all over, the water evaporated, and I felt that the temperature here was getting lower and lower, so I hugged my body involuntarily, masked Luo's expression became more and more solemn, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead: "Hey, are you okay? This physique is too weak."

"I heard..." Munro stopped in his tracks: "Crying."

Tao Ran gave a chill: "Don't be scary, where is the cry coming from, why didn't I hear it?"

A man behind him staggered suddenly, looking at Meng Luo as if he was watching a ghost, but the woman in the lead was calm: "No matter what you heard, you must reach your destination, don't move around anymore."

This long corridor seemed to have no end. Finally, the woman leading the way stopped, and this corridor also came to an end. There was only a wall in front of us, with a long iron chain hanging down from it, directly When it was dragged to the ground, the iron chain was like new, and the top was polished very brightly. The woman nodded, and the eyes of the three of us were immediately blindfolded.

I only heard the sound of clattering, and then there was a "boom", and the body was pushed in. After entering, it felt like sitting in an elevator that was moving down, but it was not so quiet, the movement was a bit loud, and there was a friction sound. It was too big, and it was not so stable. When it finally landed, the body was bumped very badly. After a long time of tossing and injury, after doing this again, my stomach turned up and I almost vomited out.

Someone grabbed my arm fiercely, and then pulled off the blindfold. There was no sudden light, and it was dark in front of my eyes, and I didn’t have to adapt to the light. When I got here, it was colder than before, and my pores were open. Usually, there is wind pouring directly into the body: "It's evil, it's so cold."

Tao Ran said in surprise: "This is a desert, even if it is underground, you are exaggerating too much."

Munro naturally knew the sound of my body being cold, but he didn't say a word, just approached me silently in the dark, the light, lit up, someone lit a torch, there was a flurry of footsteps, someone asked a question Said: "Someone broke in again? Hua Ji."

It turned out that this woman was called Hua Ji. When they came here, those people took off their robes and revealed their true colors. There were six people in total, one female and five males. , they chose to stay."

"In that case, let's do it according to the old rules." The old man had white beard and hair, and he looked like a fairy. He waved his hand: "I'll leave it to you."

Hua Ji suddenly whispered into the ear of the old man, the old man looked at Meng Luo and me, his eyes were numb, the old man walked up to me, suddenly grabbed my wrist, put his fingers on the pulse, and then closed his eyes. My eyes are closed, I don't mean to struggle, what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, it is curious.

"A peculiar pulse pattern." The old man stared into my eyes: "The rare pulse pattern has a narrow chance of death."

"A narrow escape?" I laughed loudly: "No way, since I was young, I was prone to see unclean things, and I was extremely unlucky. I survived to this day with my hands cut off. It looks amazing."

"It's really remarkable." The old man walked up to Munro again, looked at him and said, "This..."

"What's wrong with me?" Munro asked curiously.

"If the two of you are friends, your future will be limitless. If you are enemies, you will surely die." The old man said, "Hua Ji, the people you brought this time are very unusual."

Hua Ji looked at me suspiciously, and almost forgot to answer. The old man looked at Tao Ran again: "This girl is very special, I can't tell."

Tao Ran smiled slightly: "Anyway, it's the old man who said it, and it can't be verified whether it works or not."

"Take them where they should go." The old man sighed.

There are underground dwellings scattered here. The construction of the houses is very special. The square and low houses have extremely short doors. Tall people need to bend slightly to get in. These houses are very close together without any gaps at all. , one building after another, there is not much data, only seven of them, juxtaposed in a row, besides these houses, there is a space in the distance, far away, the light is weak, and it was pushed into one of them before it could be seen clearly. In the house!

The door was shut with a bang. There were no windows in those rooms, and there were only kerosene lamps inside. After lighting them, the rooms became brighter. There were no beds, but mattresses were spread on the floor. They were fairly clean and tidy. A little inconvenient, right?

I whispered in Tao Ran's ear and asked, "You gave me the blade and the Morse code?"

"What?" Tao Ran was a little stunned: "Morse code, do you still understand this?"

Tao Ran is very smart, her voice was deliberately lowered, but her answer surprised me, it wasn't Tao Ran, could it be Meng Luo?Munro's eyes told me that he didn't know what was going on either!

Getting angry, I looked at Tao Ran, she looked a bit embarrassed now, her body was covered with sand, and her long curly hair, which was full of femininity, was also messy, Tao Ran stared at me: "It's already done, don't be kidding. "

I took out the blade and typed the Morse code again. Tao Ran and Meng Luo looked at each other, and Meng Luo murmured, "Is there anyone among them who wants to help us?"

"Whether it's an enemy or a friend, it's too early to say." I said, "It may also be a trap to test us. Hey, woman, you should know where this is. Also, you are definitely not a university lecturer, to be honest. , who are you?"

As I approached, Tao Ran had no strength left, put his hands on the ground, and smiled wryly: "This is thirty miles away from the ruins of Heishui City. Two months ago, an archaeological team disappeared here. Fortunately, there was a person who Escaped from the team, that person rushed out of the desert to call the police, because this archaeological team belongs to Jiangcheng University, so the case was taken over by the Jiangcheng police. , it’s not the first time I’ve come here.”

No wonder she is so skilled and has a gun in her hand, so she is a policewoman!Still, "Is there any proof?" I asked.

"In order to facilitate the investigation, I used the certificate issued by my superiors. This is why it is true that you called to check your identity. You didn't bring your police ID." Tao Ran's eyes were about to burst into flames: "Believe it or not."

"Believe it for the time being." I said, "You are investigating the disappearance case, why did you come here alone?"

Tao Ran said helplessly: "Because everyone has given up, the superior decided to stop the investigation. I don't believe in this evil. There are already so many clues that they may still be alive! I must investigate to the end. This time, it is my personal action. .”
