Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 669 Drawing the Line
The lazy guy was noncommittal and didn't stop him.However, when I broke into the tent, I realized that there were three women sleeping in this tent, especially Wen Min who was more vigilant. As soon as I entered, she woke up, stared at me, and said: " Chen Xuan, what are you doing!"

I was a little embarrassed, and said: "You are all wrapped in sleeping bags, what can I do, something happened." After saying that, I hurried to call the female doctor Lili who was still asleep. The situation is simple.

Hearing this, Lili woke up most of the time after dozing off, and without putting on her coat, she got out of her sleeping bag and ran out to check the situation of Hari Chagai.We moved the man into the tent and took off his upper body clothes. Lili began to examine him, pressing the area around his neck with nimble fingers. The invisible meridian is slightly bulging at the moment.

After a while, Lili shook her head in frustration and said, "No, it's grown in."

Harichagai has always had a good relationship with me, and this time Zhuanrui invited me to help, if something goes wrong, how can I live with the little conscience I have left, so I asked: "Is there any other way?" way?"

Lili shook her head, showing an apologetic expression, and said: "Neural surgery is currently a difficult operation, and it has to be done abroad. According to his situation, the growth on the back of his neck is very high. Even if he goes abroad, the chance of success is very high." Small, unless..."

"Unless what?" Wen Min asked.

Lili said: "Unless this thing is lifted off by itself, although there will be some damage to the nerves, it will minimize the damage, and it can be recovered afterwards." In the dark, Lazy and I looked at each other.

Let it come down by itself?

This thing is a parasite, how could it come down from the host?
The lazy guy stopped dozing off now, and said after hearing the words: "We have to figure out the relationship between it and 01 before we can deal with it."

The tent couldn't hold too many people, Cyclops and the photographer were outside, and couldn't see what was going on inside. They were smoking outside, and from time to time they stuck their heads in to see what was going on in Harichagai.Team Liu took out the notebook after hearing what the lazy guy said.Since she was the leader of the mission, the notebook was later handed over to her for safekeeping.

She turned to the description of 01, frowned, and said: "I think this parasitic thing should not be 01's body. It has the ability to split and combine, which shows that the body also has it. Perhaps, this thing After being injured, it was separated from the main body, so it has been parasitic on the previous lunatic. I think, if we can find 01's main body, then it will definitely merge towards the main body and will not live in it again. on people."

Liu Dui, a woman who grew up abroad, is independent and insightful, and may have experienced a lot, so the situation in front of her did not make her too flustered, and she came to this conclusion in a short period of time.However, it has to be said that the possibility of this theory is very high.

But does the body of 01 still exist?
The base was obviously destroyed by bombing. Has 01's body disappeared in that disaster?If it hasn't disappeared, if it's still alive, wouldn't we die if we went to find that monster?
For a moment, the tent fell into a kind of absolute silence.

In this silence, Harichagai woke up with a groan.His expression was a little confused at first, but then he probably remembered what happened before he fainted, his expression suddenly changed, and he reached out to touch the back of his neck.I quickly stopped Harichagai's hand and said, "You can touch it if you want, but don't pull it out, it has already combined with your nerves."

Ha Richagai was usually smiling, but now he looked at me speechlessly, and said for a long time: "Fuck, since I met you, Chen Xuan, why haven't I met a good thing."

I said, "You only found out now, it's too late."

Harichagai sat up cross-legged, didn't touch back, but moved his neck, probably didn't feel anything unusual, then looked at the female doctor Lili, and his expression returned to that hippie smile, saying: "Beauty, you were the one who checked me just now, how is the situation?"

Team Liu looked at Harichagai in surprise, probably not expecting someone to laugh in such a situation.I was not surprised at all. Harichagai is actually a very mysterious person. In the tomb of King Juer, he gave me and Tofu two bone beads. Afterwards, the bone beads turned into powder in our hands. Obviously, that bone bead helped us prevent a disaster.During that operation, Harichagai followed Zhuan Rui and the others and was never discovered, which shows that he is extremely skilled.

I once heard him talk about his view of life and death with Tofu. Perhaps religious people can see it better than ordinary people. Shamans believe that human life is a combination of the aura of all things, and death is just a return. This is in line with Taoism ideas are somewhat similar.Shamans believe that all things have animism. This concept of scattered spirits forming the heaven and earth and gathering spirits into a human body is like the Taoist concept that all things and I are one.

Tofu once said that this kind of concept is too mysterious. Harichagai smiled and said: "Then let's make it unreasonable. You can regard life and death as the law of conservation of matter. Humans are also a kind of matter. After death, The corpse is decomposed into various substances, eaten by ants, and then becomes an ant, which is transformed into nutrients and absorbed by trees, and then becomes a tree. The tree releases oxygen and becomes oxygen again. Life is an infinite cycle process. Human beings Relying on all things to survive, relying on oxygen to survive, can give birth to new life. You see, this is the conservation of matter. If you think about it this way, life and death are nothing to be afraid of.”

I never knew that the law of conservation of matter can still be used in this way, and it seems more incisive to interpret it with religious theories.

After listening to Lili's words, Harichagai touched the front of his neck and said, "I have to find 01? Where can I find that thing?" After a pause, he looked at the staff he had put aside, and said, " This thing can move by itself, if 01 was nearby, it would have found its main body by itself. It is unlikely to expect it to come out by itself."

Lili frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"

Harichagai grinned, and said with a laugh: "There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Beauty, you are so worried, is it..." As he said, he approached the girl, and he didn't know what he said. Lili made a big blush.

I shook my head, not knowing whether to admire his composure, or to say that he was desperate.

It's just that the thing on the back of his neck is not big now, but sooner or later, it will go the way of a lunatic. What if Harichagai becomes like that?This thing absorbs the host's nutrition to grow, and finally completely takes over the host's nerves, turning it into a bloodthirsty lunatic according to 01's nature.If that time really came, Harichagai would have to be burned to death.

No.

No.

I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, I can't watch such a thing happen,

I said: "The situation is not too bad now, just wait." Immediately afterwards, I said to Team Liu: "The ancient city is there, and I won't run away. I plan to look for traces of 01 first, and then make plans." .”

Team Liu frowned, and said, "So what if we find 01? Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

01 was bombed back then, I estimate that its body must have been severely damaged, and it probably hid somewhere to cultivate.And this thing that looks like a human hand has been parasitic on the lunatic. The lunatic has not completely lost his mind, and has been wandering around the base. Maybe it is the lunatic who knows something, so he deliberately avoids the main body.

I shared my guess with everyone, and said, "So, if 01 still exists, its power is definitely not as strong as it was back then, and we don't necessarily have no chance of winning."

Team Liu frowned and thought for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Chen, the situation you mentioned is not impossible, and I have no objection, but..." She looked at the female doctor and the photographer, and said, "But I can't let you They also went on an adventure together. You were introduced by Minmin halfway, and since that's the case, our cooperation ends here, and we will do our own thing and act separately."

To be honest, I have some admiration for this woman. There is no pressure to do this kind of disaster and parting ways.In fact, if I encountered such a thing, I would probably do the same thing as her. In fact, this is indeed the most correct and sensible way.However, most people are often swayed by emotions and don't know how to say no.If I change someone, I guess it will be for the sake of my teammates, and I will follow us as soon as my heart softens.

Although Team Liu's actions were ruthless, they were extremely rational.

The more dangerous the situation, the more rational you must be.

Sure enough, the female doctor felt a little uneasy about her conscience, and whispered to Team Liu, "Captain Liu, they have been helping us along the way. Wouldn't it be good to do this now?"

Team Liu shrugged and said, "Emotionally, it's really not good, but I can't let you die."

The matter is settled like this, the lazy guy has no objection, he yawned, everything is up to me, this time I gave the 'appearance fee', he is just a thug bodyguard, as for who to beat, it is completely up to me the meaning of.

Harichagai was very moved, patted my shoulder and said, "I really didn't save you in vain."

The next day, everyone divided the equipment and formally drew the line.Wen Min wholeheartedly wanted to go with us, but I had my own plan. To put it bluntly, it was selfish. I was worried that if something happened, she would be involved.

So let her continue to follow Team Liu, and whispered, let her continue to help me keep an eye on people, if Harichagai wants to be saved, Tianyan also needs to be obtained.In fact, only I know in my heart, I just don't want to put her in danger.

Seeing that I was firm in my opinion, Wen Min could only agree.

In this way, Team Liu, the female doctor, the photographer, and Wen Min packed up their things and entered the ancient city.Me, Lazy, Harichagai, and Cyclops walked back.I actually have a target point in my heart, which is the black hole that was recorded in that notebook.

That hole, apparently, used to be 01's lair.

We deliberately avoided that area before, so now, after suffering heavy losses, will 01 hide in his lair?
