Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 422 Injured
The two of us ran wildly in the pouring rain, and the cold rain drenched our bodies, running down our faces, and our vision was blurred.Mr. Chen is old and frail, and was shivering on me after being drenched by the heavy rain.And at this time, in the heavy rain, I also suddenly heard screams coming from behind me.

At this moment, Lu Su stopped and shouted to me: "You take Mr. Chen and go first, and I will resist for a while."

I said: Resist the fart, you are like an ant in front of the corpse fairy, run away! "

Lu Su looked directly behind me and said, "It's too late." I felt a shock in my heart, I turned around suddenly, and saw a figure in an instant.

It's that corpse fairy.

It is still the same, with bristling hair, wearing a fairy crown, wearing a feather coat, with a plump and handsome face, and a sense of immortality between its brows, giving people a very time-traveling feeling.But this is not a time travel, but a real person, it does not walk fast, but it is walking towards us step by step.

And its original two pairs of black and purple hands have completely faded in color, becoming no different from normal people's palms, presumably absorbed the changes brought about by the spirit of the corpse king.The corpse fairy has no expression on his face, he can't be said to be angry, and he can't be said to be angry. If it stands there motionless, I will definitely regard him as a simulation doll of human height, but at this moment, this doll is moving towards us at a uniform speed. Walking over, with every step, there was a screeching sound in the air.

Mr. Chen leaned on my body, limp all over, and said, "It's over."

I put him down, knowing that running too much would be no different, and I looked at Lu Su. Lu Su understood, and stood with me. Immediately afterwards, I stared at Shixian and said to Mr. Chen: "Mr. We are the ones who harmed you, so you run away quickly, the two of us can delay it for a while at least."

Mr. Chen was put on the ground by me, but he didn't leave. He said: "Don't be stupid, no matter how you run, can you still outrun the corpse fairy? Whether we can survive today depends on the mood of the old man. "

I said: "If we lead the lightning to strike it, how will it feel better?" I also knew in my heart that in the current situation, we can only live and die together. A stream of heat seemed to erupt.In my mind, I felt guilty towards Mr. Chen, and thought of the tofu that was killed by him, and when I thought about the sad look on Gu Dameimei's face if I couldn't go back today, I couldn't say how uncomfortable I was. The world has too much nostalgia.

The three of us were close together, Lu Su drew out his long knife, his expression no longer had a smile on his face, as if it was covered by a layer of dark clouds.Mr. Chen held the corpse-repelling bell without shaking it, but the corpse-repelling bell rang resoundingly.At this time, the corpse fairy was extremely close to us, almost only a few meters away.The Ghost Crying Saber in Lu Su's hand slashed fiercely, and took the lead in attacking, slashing straight at the corpse fairy's neck.The corpse fairy still remained like a puppet, not dodging or dodging, and crying at the ghost, the knife leaned on the corpse fairy's neck fiercely.

The knife cut down, but the skin of the corpse fairy was not even cut. When the knife hit the neck, there was a muffled sound.At this moment, the corpse fairy suddenly stretched out a hand to put on Lu Su's shoulder, Lu Su's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to get away, but it was too late, but he saw the corpse fairy's hand on Lu Su's shoulder forcefully. , then lifted Lu Su up and threw him out.The strength and speed of this swing were very great. Lu Su flew out fiercely, slammed into a pine tree, and fell from the pine tree several meters high. Apart from a cry of pain, there was no other movement.

I am carrying a machete from Mr. Chen's house, but it is useless at all. Facing such a powerful enemy, I can hardly think of any way.As the corpse fairy approached step by step, Mr. Chen and I retreated.

Not far away, Lu Su guessed that he was seriously injured, most likely with a broken tendon and bone. He struggled in the mud to get up, but he couldn't do it.In the pouring rain, Mr. Chen and I stepped back step by step, but the corpse fairy kept walking forward at the same speed, and there was no expression on its delicate face that belonged to a living person.

I saw that it didn't seem to have any intention of chasing it, so it immediately pulled Mr. Chen and ran away, but just after two steps, the thing accelerated, and in an instant, a cold hand rested on my shoulder.My heart sank suddenly, thinking that I would end up in the same fate as Lu Su, but who would have thought that at this moment, the corpse fairy used his strength to pull me back, and in an instant, my whole body bumped into him Immediately afterwards, it lowered its head and touched my neck with its mouth.

All of a sudden, goosebumps appeared all over my body, and the muscles in my neck tensed, as if this thing was about to suck blood.How can I sit still and wait for death, I kicked my legs back and kicked it fiercely.

The corpse fairy's body is not as hard as I imagined, but as soft as a living person, but this kick seems to have kicked the air, without any effect.My heart sank, and my heart said that my life was over.Just as this thought flashed across my mind, I suddenly realized that the corpse fairy didn't bite my neck, it seemed to be smelling something and asking, it sniffed twice with a blank face, and suddenly let go of the hand on my shoulder, and then, Then he bypassed Mr. Chen and me, and continued walking on his own.

My feet were soft, and I suddenly fell to my knees in the mud, staring at the corpse fairy's wet feather coat, unable to react for a while.

And Mr. Chen was already paralyzed from fright. He looked at the corpse fairy's back, and crawled towards me cautiously. After a while, seeing the corpse fairy walking away, he said to me: "Thank God, it didn't intend to kill ordinary people. Not interested in us. Thank God, thank God..." Mr. Chen said several times, as if he had escaped a catastrophe.

But at this time, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the corpse fairy also disappeared from our sight. Then I thought of Lu Su, walked to her side, and said, "How is it?"

Lu Su's face was covered in mud. He glanced at me and suddenly laughed. Halfway through the smile, it was probably because of his injury, and he started to groan again.

I said, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Su said: "I'm laughing at myself. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have chopped it up. Hiss... there seems to be something wrong with my ribs, and I can't walk."

The rain had stopped now, and if he really had a rib problem, he'd have to get a stretcher.Thinking of this, old man Chen and I went back to the previous campsite, got our equipment, cut down tree sticks, tore some clothes and made a simple stretcher, then old man Chen and I carried Lu Su back.

Mr. Chen was old and frail, and it was a mountain road, so we stopped and went, from daytime to dark, and finally arrived at the village.There was no big hospital in the village, so he immediately drove to the local county to give Lu Su first aid.After all these ordeals, Mr. Chen also developed a high fever, his body was scratched a lot, and he was also admitted to the hospital.We just said that the road was slippery in the mountains, and it fell like this, but it didn't attract people's attention.

This is a small county town, and the county hospital is not big. I went to the hotel to change clothes, and sat on a chair in the hospital to wait. After a while, Lu Su was pushed out, and he was arranged in a ward with Mr. Chen.The doctor said that the rib injury is not serious, and it will be cured after two months of care, and it can be transferred to another hospital after a week of hospitalization.

At this time, I naturally had to stay and take care of the two of them.That night, I delivered meals to the two of them, so I had time to rest and dragged my exhausted body back to the hotel.

There is no gate control in this small hotel, I looked at my watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.When I got back to the hotel, I was lying on the bed exhausted, the muscles all over my body were clamoring for exhaustion, and my brain was drowsy. Although there were countless questions echoing in my mind, I couldn't stop the exhausted sleepiness, and finally fell into a deep sleep. fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a little cold, as if the room was leaking and the quilt was wet. I felt that the place where I slept was a little damp. After struggling with sleepiness, I opened my eyelids with difficulty and prepared to check one time.

Unexpectedly, with a movement of my hand, I suddenly touched a wet mass beside me.I was startled, turned over suddenly and jumped out of bed, and turned on the light. Suddenly, a scene that made my scalp tingle appeared in front of me.On my bed, there is still a 'person' sleeping impressively.

This man was wearing an ancient Chinese costume, his clothes were wet, and he was lying stiffly on the bed. Who else could he be if he wasn't that corpse fairy?

I almost wondered if I was dreaming.

How is it here?

How could it be who's in my bed?

I have always been self-healing and not stupid, but now I feel that my brain cells are not enough. After standing against the wall for a long time, the corpse fairy did not move at all like a living person sleeping.My head is full of questions.

Why didn't it kill me before?
It appears here now, is it following me all the way?
What exactly is it trying to do?
I thought about these questions, but I couldn't make any sense. Everything eventually turned into hatred. When I thought of tofu, my heart felt like a knife was being cut.The hatred suppressed all these doubts, and a thought came to my mind: If I don't wait now, when will I wait?
But reason tells me that it is not so easy to kill a corpse fairy, not to mention that if it is really killed by me, the corpse is not easy to deal with, and I will become a murderer.Although the hotel is small, surveillance is installed all around.

What should I do?
Just as I was trying to figure it out, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang.It was three o'clock in the morning, and in the deathly silent night, the phone rang suddenly, which made people think of the midnight bell.I suddenly looked at the face of the corpse fairy, and found that it was still silent, and at this moment, the phone was still ringing.

I knew that there must be something urgent to call so late, so I slowly approached the bed, looked down cautiously, and found that it was the phone number from the landline on the second floor of my shop.

It should be from Cyclops.

It's so late, could something important happen?
