Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 621 Sharpening the Knife
Tofu said in his mouth, looked around a few times, and ran downstairs.I naturally don't think that lazy guy is looking for someone surnamed Guo to prove his charm. Just after the banquet, everyone in the village settled down and went back to rest. The lazy guy suddenly became energetic and ran out in the middle of the night. What did he want to do?
I saw both of them running out of the door in an instant, and I was a little worried. I explained to Mr. Hu, and then chased them out with a flashlight. It takes several flights of stairs to get to the dam outside.

I chased faster, so I caught up with the tofu, but I didn't see the lazy one.Tofu stood at the gate, looking very surprised, and said to me: "Old Chen, do you think that kid is a man or a ghost? His speed is too fast. I chased him all the way out without even seeing him." At this moment, the bonfire outside was extinguished, and it was a little dark around, only the bleak moonlight was a little hazy.Tofu and I stood on the stairs outside the gate, looking at the night in front of us, everything around us seemed indistinct, only the flashlight I turned on could illuminate a small area.

At this moment, I faintly heard a sound in my ears, which seemed to come from the front left.As I remember, that location is in the direction of the gate of the stockade.

"Cha, cha, cha..." The voice was not loud, but very regular.Tofu also heard it, and couldn't help but look towards that position, and muttered, "It's late at night, what's the sound?"

I said I would know if I went to have a look, so I jumped off the wooden building randomly, and with the flashlight on, I went towards the place where the sound came from.As I walked forward, the voice became clearer and clearer. After a while, I saw a figure from the back, facing us, grinding something under the bleak moonlight.

That figure from the back was none other than the lazy guy who disappeared in the blink of an eye. '

He was really holding a knife in his hand, and he was sharpening it at the gate of the village. The sound of cracking, cracking, cracking before was the sound of the knife being sharpened.What he was grinding was a Tibetan knife. Although I didn't see the knife itself, I saw the scabbard, a silver scabbard with curved hooks, which is the characteristic of Tibetan knives.

Tofu and I looked at each other, wondering why this lazy guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and suddenly sharpened his knife.He obviously knew we were coming, he only paused for a moment when sharpening the knife, and then continued to sharpen again with a monotonous repeating voice.Tofu rushed in front of him, presumably wanting to ask him something, but I stood there without moving. However, at this moment, Tofu's silent mouth was half-opened, with a strange expression on his face, obviously It was with shock and bewilderment.

I felt a sudden shock in my heart: what did he see?

At this time, Tofu beckoned to me, but his eyes were still fixed on the hand of the lazy man, and he stammered: "Old, old Chen, come here quickly, look at this..." His strange behavior aroused my curiosity. My heart was in my throat, and I walked up to Tofu in two steps in three steps. I looked down, and felt my heart was hit hard, and my head buzzed.

The knife in the lazy man's hand, a black machete.

I am very familiar with this knife, it is exactly the same as the two scimitars that the dumb used before!
How could this be?
Before I could speak first, Tofu couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the lazy guy, "Where did you get this knife?" The lazy guy squinted his eyes halfway, as if he didn't care about us at all. After a while, he said lightly: "Sent by the third master."

I was startled, and said, "When did I give it to you?"

The lazy guy said: "Not long ago." After saying that, he put away the knife and turned to sharpen the second one. This time I can confirm that these two knives must be the two that the mute carried with him.Tofu was very surprised, and said to me in a low voice: "It's broken, Lao Chen, there is a terrible spy in our team." At that time, I, Tofu, Lu Su, and Feng Guishou entered the door, and the rest We were persuaded to leave.The situation was chaotic at that time, and the two knives would reappear. Obviously, spies came out of the group of people who left, and they took the two machetes out while no one was paying attention.

Immediately afterwards, the man handed the knife to Mr. Bai, and Mr. Bai passed it on to the lazy guy.

There were six people who left at that time, Zhuan Rui, Zhong Gong, Shen Hao, Zhong Hua, Haricha Gai, and Wen Min, that is to say, the knife must have been brought out by one of these six people.Among the six people, Zhuan Rui was in a coma at the time, Zhong Hua had injured his leg, Shen Hao had been carrying him all the time, and couldn't spare his hands to make small movements, so the only ones left were Zhong Gong, Haricha Gai and Wen Min, and so on. As a result, the spy can only be one of these three!
I don't believe that Wen Minhui will betray me, and I also don't believe that Zhong Gong will betray Zhuan Rui, so the biggest suspect is Hari Chagai?The origin of this kid is not clear at all, he followed us to Shenzhen inexplicably, and finally transferred to Zhuan Rui's subordinates, no matter how he thinks about it, there are many doubts.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that Harichagai had saved us a lot along the way, and there was really no need for him to be with Mr. Bai.Hari Chagai is not a mushroom digger. What benefits can he get from mixing with someone like Bai Sanye?
But if the spy is not him, it must be one of Zhong Gong and Wen Min!
I just felt a chill down my back, and my mind was full of three words: Impossible.

Tofu obviously figured out the way to do it. I heard him gulp and asked the lazy guy, "Why did old man Bai give you these two knives? Do you know knives?"

Lazy said indifferently: "I am a Tibetan, and it is most suitable for me to give Tibetan knives at this time."

This reason seemed unassailable, but I soon realized that Mr. Bai obviously had other intentions for giving the knife to the lazy guy.The lazy guy walked with us all the way, Bai Sanye would not have imagined that we would find these two knives sooner or later, that is to say, the surname Bai did not shy away from admitting the fact that he planted spies in our team, even, he It was meant to remind me of that.

My heart was heavy, but Tofu said at this time: "Old Chen, it seems that the surname Bai did it on purpose. If we want to find out that spy, we have to ask him in person! Damn, among those people, Everyone is a brother who was born and died, who will be a spy?" We looked at each other, speechless.

The human heart is a terrible thing.Sometimes, the person you feel you trust completely turns around and becomes the executioner who stabs you in the back.

The lazy man continued to sharpen the knife, and the sound of cha, cha, cha was heard regularly. He kept half-closed his eyes, and regarded us as nothing.I stood where I was, looking at the hands of the lazy man sharpening the knife, and felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on my heart.Tofu was not as calm as I was. He jumped angrily and greeted the eighteen generations of Bai Sanye's ancestors.

At this moment, Lazy seemed to be dissatisfied when he heard Tofu's words, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes that had been sleepy all the time became fierce in an instant.I completely ignored his ordinary, forgettable face. At that moment, I could almost only see his eyes, sharp and full of killing intent.

I was startled, but before I could stop him, the half-sharpened knife in his hand was suddenly regarded as a hidden weapon by him, and flew towards the direction of the tofu. In the dim light, I only saw a flash of black light , The next moment, I heard Tofu's exclamation.

My breath stopped in shock, thinking that Tofu had been hit, but then I realized that his knife was not going towards Tofu, but was inserted not far from Tofu's feet.From the grass, a stream of blood suddenly splashed out. I took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a colorful ring snake hidden in the grass next to Tofu's feet, and the lazy man cut the snake in two. .

Judging from the shape of the snake, it was crawling towards the tofu at that time, and it was obviously a poisonous snake. If it wasn't for the lazy guy's quick reaction, it would probably be...

Tofu's short sound stopped abruptly after seeing the source of the blood. He carefully pulled the knife out of the ground, and handed it back to the lazy man at random.

The lazy guy took out a black knife cleaning cloth, cleaned the blood and mud off it, put the knife back into its sheath, yawned, and said, "Go back." Immediately afterwards, he walked back first, leaving only Give us both a back view.

Tofu swallowed his saliva, and said: "Now I finally know what it means to be a real person without revealing your appearance. This lazy bastard is so awesome. Old Chen, I suddenly feel that I admire him a little bit. You don't blame me for worshiping the enemy, do you?" ?”

Just as I was about to answer, I heard an ouch in front of me, and the lazy guy fell to the ground suddenly, stumbled by a scattered firewood, fell on his face, his buttocks up, his hands on the ground, like a frog , where is there any real demeanor.

Tofu finally scratched his head and said, "Pretend I didn't say that just now."

The two of us walked slowly behind, blowing the night breeze, and felt cool, and the lazy guy got up from the ground, yawned big, staggered and continued to walk forward.I looked at his background, but what flashed in my mind was the appearance of the three of Wen Min.

Spy, who could it be?

Either way, it's not what I want to see.

I hope that I and tofu are wrong.
