Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 310 Who Are You

At that time, nine injured people, plus five slightly injured people entered the underground river channel. During the process, there should have been some casualties, so only eight people reached the main underground palace.

The tomb guard said: "I don't know each other. It's two young people who escaped. Don't waste time, get out of here immediately!"

young people?
First of all, Lu Su must be one of them, so who is the other young man?Since he is a young man, then, my grandfather...

Although I knew in my heart that my grandfather must have died in this place, but after confirming it with my own ears, the feeling was different. The grave guard said that he had never seen my grandfather. Does that mean that my grandfather died in that river?For a moment, I just felt bitter, and anger rose in my heart.

The grave guard added another sentence in a hoarse and irritable voice, "There are many traps here, and the traps I manipulated can't be remembered even if you die."

I thought of the experience along the way, and the embarrassment that my grandfather and his group were forced to face, and said angrily, "You manipulated the organ?"

The tomb guard said violently, "None of your business, boy, don't talk too much nonsense." But on another level, it is obviously acquiescing. In this way, isn't this person the one who indirectly killed my grandfather?Immediately, I felt blood rushing to my brain, and in addition, he killed Tofu and others, so I couldn't care less for a while, so I couldn't help shouting angrily: "I'll kill you first today!" At this moment the distance is extremely close, and when I bully him, my dagger almost reaches his neck, and it looks like it is about to stab him. At the critical moment, the masked man bends back and escapes the dagger's attack.

Without waiting for the dagger in my hand to change direction, this man put his hands on the ground, his feet came up from the ground, and suddenly clamped my waist.In an instant, I only felt that my waist was clamped by two strong forces, and then this force instantly clamped me up and threw me out violently. My whole body was like a basketball that was thrown crookedly. Landing on the floor tiles of the tomb passage, there was a piercing pain in the back, and the dagger in his hand flew out.

I, Chen Xuan, think that I have good skills. Although I am not as good as Zhuan Rui, who have been trained by the family since childhood, at any rate, among the sub-healthy people in the city now, it is easy for one-to-five. He wouldn't get hurt, but he was knocked down by the masked man.

Putting your hands on the ground and throwing me out with just your feet, how much force is this?Unexpectedly, there is such an explosive power hidden under his skinny and bone-like body.

No... maybe it wasn't his full strength, I just came back to my senses and thought that he was a character that even Xiao Jing was afraid of.

I was a little apprehensive for a moment, my heart sank violently, and I said in my heart that grandpa and those people were so powerful, they all died in his hands, today, I'm afraid that the few of us will be in danger.In a blink of an eye, I thought that Zhuan Rui and the others still had explosives on them, and my heart was hardened, and I thought to myself: I'd better rescue them first, if I really can't fight, then put the explosives, and we all die together!
Enduring the pain, I quickly got up from the ground, and at this moment, the masked man's inexplicable kindness towards me disappeared, and he still said in a grumpy voice: "I'll give you a chance, since you don't cherish it, then follow the rules! "After speaking, he bullied himself again.His speed was unbelievably fast. As soon as I got up, I felt a blur in front of my eyes and a flash of a figure, and then I was suddenly grabbed by the neck and knocked down to the ground.

He pinched my neck with one hand, but no matter how hard I struggled, it didn't help.I had a severe pain in my throat, and the dagger in my hand had rolled far away. In a moment of desperation, I suddenly remembered that I had a flying knife tied to my wrist, so I pressed the hidden buckle immediately, and a silver flying knife slid down palm.The eyeballs of my pinched eyes were all staring out, and I couldn't aim, so I stabbed upwards with the throwing knife.

I don't know where the tomb guard hit the tomb guard. He yelled, let go of his hand abruptly, and retreated from me.

I had a sore throat, tears and snot flowing from my pinched nose, but I didn't bother to wipe it off, and hurriedly backed away.After I stood up again, I wiped my face casually, and took a closer look, only to find that I just stuck on the grave guard's mask.If he didn't wear a mask, the throwing knife would have gone right in, but it was a pity that he wore a mask and blocked it, so the blood flow was not much. According to the amount of blood flowing out of the mask, it was probably just a skin trauma.

Frightened by his speed, I didn't dare to get too close, so I stood in the distance holding the throwing knife and stared at his neck. Fortunately, he didn't wear clothes on his upper body, so the lethality of the throwing knife could be maximized .He seemed to see that I would use a concealed weapon, but he held the bleeding place and did not move.

I thought he was scared, but after a while, I realized that the pair of eyes exposed under his mask were staring straight at the flying knife in my hand.That gaze did not seem taboo, but revealed an indescribable emotion.At this moment, the masked man suddenly said, "Who are you?"

I was puzzled, and felt that this person was weird, but because I was angry that he was the murderer who killed Grandpa, I couldn't speak politely, and said sarcastically: "Chen Xuan, the upside-down Tufuzi, the purpose is to pick the ghost king from the grave Come out and flog the corpse to avenge my grandfather's death! Of course, now there is an extra purpose... to kill you!"

While speaking, the throwing knife in his hand shot out fiercely.Since I came out of Xu Fu's tomb, I have been practicing this hand hard. Although it is far from the speed of lightning written in my grandfather's notes, killing me with a single knife from a hundred steps away, but such a short distance, and I have been prepared for a long time. Therefore, the speed of this shot was also extremely fast, and I saw a flash of silver light. I thought it would hit the grave guard's throat, but at the same second as I shot the throwing knife, his hand blocked it upwards.

The next moment, I saw my throwing knife firmly held in his hand.

This is almost a scene from a martial arts TV series. It just appeared in front of my eyes. In fact, I have the notes left by my grandfather. As long as I practice hard, it is not difficult to learn this unique skill. Therefore, throwing a knife to kill is not considered in the past What a brilliant skill, but the reason why Bai Laosi and my grandfather are so famous is that they have used throwing knives all their lives, and they have reached the point of proficiency. Few people can do this.

In contrast, flying knives are easy to learn, but the ability to hold flying knives is really unheard of, and I have never seen it before. At this stage of the field, I have nothing to rely on.

Don't talk about saving Tofu and the others, I'm afraid I'm about to lose myself.

The masked man approached me step by step with a throwing knife in his hand, but I couldn't help but retreat.No matter how courageous I am, when I face an enemy that is completely impossible to win, I can't help but feel guilty, my head is full of confusion, and I can't think of any ideas.In the face of strength, any idea is useless, but unfortunately I don’t have a gun in my hand. Although I had a gun before, a series of things happened later, which made me transfer the gun to Doufu and others. Even Gu Wenmin finally gave it to me. The pistol that he owned was finally returned to her.

At this moment, it is really called every day, and the earth is not working. It seems that not only I will die today, but also Tofu and others...

Not to mention how uncomfortable I was. Fear, unwillingness, anger, helplessness and resentment that could not be revenged, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and it was hard to express for a while.

I watched his movements closely, thinking that he would attack at any time, but who knew, he asked the same sentence again: "Who are you?"

He has asked the same three words for the third time, and now I feel that something is wrong, so I gather myself and feel that I have found a breakthrough.The first sentence between us was also these three words: who are you.He saved me from Xiao Jing in the first place, there must be a reason, but he has been refusing to say it, but now, I have grasped the key point of the matter.

It seems to be because of my identity.

who are you?
who am I?I'm Chen Xuan, I'm a farmer who digs mushrooms upside down, laymen call us tomb robbers and rats with contempt.I have already told him all this, what does he mean by asking again now?Could it be that you are not satisfied with my answer?At this time, seeing that I didn't answer, he asked again, his eyes still fixed on the blood-stained flying knife in my hand.

My heart moved, and I thought: Could it be the reason for the flying knife?
Thinking about this, he asked vigilantly, "Have you seen this throwing knife?"

The gravekeeper shook his head.

I thought it was true, he kept claiming that he had never seen Grandpa, so how could he have seen Grandpa's throwing knife?What exactly does he mean now?
Seeing that he had no intention of launching a trouble for the time being, I felt relieved, so I decided to delay the time first, and then think of a way out of the predicament, and said: "Why did you save me at that time?"

The gravekeeper said: "That woman is not a human being, nor is she a ghost in the underground palace. She doesn't belong here, so she can't come in."

I said, "Then why are you willing to let me go?"

The grave guard was silent for a while, his eyes flicked back and forth between the flying knife in my hand and my face, and suddenly said: "I often dream."

what?
I wondered, and thought, how did it get involved in the dream?But I deliberately procrastinated, so I continued to ask: "What did you dream about?"

He was silent for a while, and said: "When I wake up from the dream, I will forget the contents."

While thinking of a way to get out of trouble, I said, "Then what?"

The gravekeeper said, "I heard her calling your name."

my name?Is there something wrong with my name?Did he save me because of my name?
