Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 418 Poisoning
Thinking of this, I said to her: "Wen Min, this matter will be delayed for at least half a month. You have already asked for more than half a month's leave last time, so it is inconvenient to stay longer. You go back to BJ first, and the matter here , I will deal with Lu Su."

Her face was not very good-looking, this time she did not refute, pursed her lips, and nodded slightly.The three of us spent the night at Mr. Chen's house that night.The village was very quiet at night. I saw Wen Min leaning against the railing and remained silent. I felt very uncomfortable, so I couldn't help walking behind her, and the two of them were speechless for a moment.

After a while, she spoke first and said, "Sorry."

I couldn't help smiling, and said: "It's me who should say sorry, our two identities...you have helped me so much, I should say sorry to you. Wenmin, I understand you, this time, you You really don't need to help me anymore."

She smiled, looked at me quietly with dark eyes, and said: "I have been in charge of cultural relics cases for several years, and I hate tomb robbers and people who resell cultural relics the most. I never thought that one day I would fall in love with a relics dealer." Dou, you are very attractive."

I took her into my arms, felt a softness in my heart, and said, "Should I be proud?"

"Of course." She smiled, raised her head and asked me, "What do you like about me?"

I said, "All."

She said, "Then do you know what I like about you?"

I said: "Because I am excellent."

She chuckled, stretched out her hands to pinch both sides of my face, and said with a smile: "When I'm alone with a girl, can I have a cute expression? It's so serious, as if I'm forcing you." I think it's a bit unfair to me, but actually I feel like I'm laughing...

Immediately afterwards, she said: "I liked you the first time because you helped me block everything when I was in danger. In layman's terms, you are a hero who saves the beauty." The night in the countryside is peaceful. The lights of several houses were turned on quietly, and it was just the two of us at this moment, what kind of corpse, what kind of map, was cleared out of our minds at this moment, making people feel peaceful in our hearts.For a long time, in order to track down the clues of the curse, the two of us have been together less often, and when we gather together, we are mostly in danger.Over the past year or so, I have understood in my heart what Wenmin has done for me. She is a person with a strong sense of justice and responsibility, but in the end she fought with me and even turned a blind eye to many deaths. I believe she must feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, I feel a little tired. I have experienced so much. I only hope that I can live peacefully with the people I cherish in the future, but when I think of the curse, it is like a knife hanging above my head.If I want to have a future, I must continue to pursue it.

This feeling is exhausting, I sighed and said, "Then what happened next?"

She smiled and said, "Later... After getting along for a long time, I think you are very kind and gentle."

I couldn't help but hissed, touched her forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever? Are you sure the person you're describing is me?"

She said seriously, "It's you."

I couldn't help but smiled bitterly, and said: "You are the first person to use these two words to describe me." I know what I am in the eyes of others, I am probably a person with weak emotions, cruel heart, indifference and reticence, anyway I don't know how to match these two words. She described me so much that I was a little confused.

Seeing my unbelieving expression, she smiled and said: "You have to find out what a person really is like with your heart. At first, I didn't think you were a good person, but I found out later that at least you are not a bad person." ;Although you are cold to others, you are very good to your friends." After a pause, she narrowed her eyes, with a trace of cunning in them, and whispered: "So, only I have discovered your gentleness and kindness, are you mine."

I felt the blood in my body heat up, and I couldn't help lowering my head and said, "I'm yours. Wait for me, after all this is settled, I won't do anything to embarrass you again."

"I believe you."

The next day, Wen Min returned to BJ, and Lu Su and I began to concentrate on following the plan, splitting into two ends, I went to find a suitable location, and Lu Su went to buy equipment.Three days later, we rented a private house and started digging holes.There is no need to repeat the process in the middle. According to the direction given by Mr. Chen, we worked for eight days in a row.In terms of length, it would not have taken such a long time, mainly because of the need to 'make soil', so the progress was slow.

On day No.12, we suddenly dug out a layer of hard mud, which was artificially rammed.I was overjoyed, and carefully broke through the hard soil layer, revealing blue square bricks behind, with some diamond-shaped patterns on the square bricks. Looking at the style, it is about the style of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the time that Mr. Chen described to me. Almost, behind this should be the place where the lifeguard corpses are stored.It's daytime now, and above us is the school's playground. It's afternoon, and there are still people in the school, so it's not appropriate to do anything, so I retreated out, ate something casually with Lu Su, and the two went to bed to rest, preparing to continue at night.

Because it is an elementary school, there are no boarding students in the school, so it is empty at night, and even if there is any big commotion, it will not be discovered.

In the past ten days, Lu Su and I got along well, at least on the surface.In the face of common interests, what should be maintained must be maintained.

This sleep lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening. The town is a small town and there is no nightlife. It is quiet at night. Only the street light of the only road in the town is still on, and the wattage is also low. When you wake up at night, you can see it faintly. Quietly, with only occasional dog barks, it seemed as if we were the only two living people around.

Lu Su and I got up and washed our faces to make ourselves more energetic, then screwed on the guy, and followed the dug hole to the outside of the wall brick.Lu Su motioned me not to act rashly, he beat it a few times vigorously with the shovel, bang bang, and said to me in a low voice: "If there is something like corpse refining guarding it, this thing is enough to attract them." Then, the two of us listened closely to the brick wall, and suddenly, we heard rhythmic treading sounds from behind the stone wall, like a person walking without shoes.

I thought to myself: This is not good luck, there are really refining corpses inside.However, the level of this corpse refining is definitely not as good as that of the heavenly soldiers, so it is not enough to be afraid of.Immediately, the two put on the poison masks and began to use a chisel to break down the bricks.Although the labor force of the ancients was low, they were very pragmatic. Taking this kind of square bricks for building cellars as an example, they were surprisingly hard and very heavy, unlike the bricks used for building houses today, which shattered with a hammer.There are more than one layer of bricks, and there are three layers in total. We have just opened a small hole, and a purple-red hand suddenly stretched out from the hole.

I really lay down on the ground to dismantle bricks. If I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid that as soon as this hand stretched out, I would have to poke a few holes in my neck.There is a layer of light purple hair on this dry purple hand. There are no purple hair zongzi in the normal classification of zongzi, only artificially made zongzi have purple hair.

On this purple-haired hand, there are black and blue long nails on the fifth finger, each of which is as hard as a steel bar, twisting and trying to grab us.Fortunately, there is a brick wall blocking it, so it can't catch it, and taking advantage of this opportunity, I played tricks on Lu Su, and he slashed towards the sky with the ghost crying knife, and saw a silver light flash. The outstretched Zongzi's hand was cut off in an instant.

This hand is really beautiful, we came to get off the horse, and before we went in, we peeled off one hand of the rice dumpling, which made people feel a lot of encouragement.Unexpectedly, before Lu Su and I could be happy, we saw that the severed hand that fell to the ground was still moving.

Lu Su shouted suddenly: "Be careful!"

It was a little late for him to say this, because I was the closest, this hand snapped up violently, with all five fingers forming claws, it grabbed my heart.This change happened suddenly, and in a hurry, I fell backwards, and the hand brushed past my chest. In an instant, I felt a burning pain in my chest, and three paw prints appeared impressively.

It's not that I have never been caught by a zongzi, but I have never been caught by a zongzi like this. When the wound popped out, it was bleeding black.The reason why corpse refining is called refining is precisely because of its variability. The poisonous corpse is just one of them. It has no great skills, but it is full of poison.

All of a sudden, I felt like my whole body was burning, but the severed hand that was brushing against me didn't move after the blow.I clutched my wound and wanted to move, but my whole body was exhausted. Lu Su showed shock on his face, and said: "No, this poison seems to be very powerful." Then without saying a word, he dragged me out of the robbery cave.

Lu Su said: "I don't know how to deal with this corpse poison, I have to find Mr. Chen." But there is no car in the town at the moment, and in a hurry, he put me on his back and ran towards the village where Mr. Chen was. And go, all the way only hit a flashlight.

I was a little surprised and said, "What's your intention in saving me like this?"

Lu Su asked back, "What do you think?"

I said: "If it's to deal with the corpse fairy, now that Mr. Chen has agreed, you can do it by yourself. Ahem... What is your purpose?"

Lu Su was out of breath, sweating profusely, and said: "In my eyes, there is never an enemy. As long as they don't block my way, they are friends."

I said: "That is to say, now I'm not the one blocking your way."

He said, "Yes."

My consciousness is a little confused at the moment, but I still can't help laughing: "...Lu Su, do you think I will believe your words?"

"You're not brother Dou, so you won't believe it."

"You are not qualified to mention him..."

"It doesn't matter what you say."
