Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 678 The Strange Circle
To be honest, if I hadn't tried my best to control her, I'm afraid I couldn't help but strangle her neck.In fact, I know very well that if I were in that situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be soft on someone who wanted to kill me.

The reaction of Team Liu and the photographer was actually the reaction that most people would make.

They are just saving their lives.

But people's emotions and reason are often separated. Although I understand this, the desire to strangle her to death still emerges uncontrollably.At this moment, the one-eyed dragon put his hand on my shoulder, and the only remaining eye looked at me worriedly, and said, "I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. We haven't seen the head of the family yet." Where's the corpse?"

If it wasn't for the one surnamed Liu crying miserably right now, I'm afraid I would really lose control of myself.What Cyclops said, whether it was consolation or hope, did give me a reason to suppress my anger, so I took a deep breath and said, "Don't cry, what happened next?"

Liu Dui calmed down, and said: "Later, we both went to find the missing Lili, and found her in a pit." When she said this, her eyes were already a little straight.

I feel something is wrong, how could there be a hole inexplicably at the entrance of the underground palace?Could it be...

My heart skipped a beat, and I blurted out, "A trap?"

Team Liu nodded.I almost don't need to ask the result. Most of the mechanism pits are filled with iron arrows, and a small part is filled with kerosene or venom.What Lili encountered was the first type, so when Team Liu and the others saw her, her body was completely pierced, and her whole body was blurred with blood, and the stench wafted from her nostrils.

No matter how independent and strong Team Liu is, he is a woman after all.After two consecutive stimuli, she finally screamed and passed out.

When she woke up, she found that she was being carried away by the photographer, and during this time, the photographer did not know what had happened, blood was all over her body, and her sanity was already blurred. Going for the purpose, for a while, Team Liu didn't know where he was, let alone what happened after he fainted.

But she could see that something was wrong with the photographer, the man had almost collapsed.

But even in this situation, he did not let go of himself.With tears in his eyes, Team Liu struggled to get off the photographer's back, and finally pulled himself together.

She must get out, get out of this damned ancient city, and take the photographer with her.

Next, she led the photographer on a road to find escape.

Having said that, there was another long silence.

I said, "What happened later? Where is he?"

"Don't ask me." Team Liu covered his face and became nervous, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I don't know, we dispersed, and then I kept walking until I arrived at this place."

Cyclops asked: "How did you disperse?"

"I don't know." She tugged at her hair.

The one-eyed dragon got angry, and said: "How could you not know!" After a pause, the one-eyed dragon asked suspiciously: "Could it be that he died too?"

"No!" Team Liu suddenly roared, "He's not dead! He's just missing!"

Cyclops and I looked at each other, knowing that this woman's sanity has gone wrong, but I faintly hope that everything she said before is best just a lie under her abnormal sanity.

……

At best, it's all a lie.

Liu Dui cried for a while, wiped away the tears on his face, his expression returned to the original calm, and his face still looked exhausted, she said: "We must find a way out." When she said this, I couldn't help frowning, feeling that the situation was not good.

If she really got lost with the photographer, then under normal circumstances, she should say that she must find the photographer and go out together.But now, what she said was that she only found the way out, that is to say, she gave up looking for the photographer.

It didn't match up with her grieving reaction just now.

Unless... She knew that the photographer would not come back.

I have seen too many people who deceive themselves, such as myself, at this moment, I suddenly feel that this woman is also deceiving myself.

After saying this, she seemed very tired, curled up on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

It was cold underground, so I lit a bonfire.Team Liu's words completely disrupted my thinking. In this situation, even though I was physically exhausted, I couldn't sleep mentally at all.In my mind, I can only imagine the appearance of Wen Min, the appearance of blood flowing down from the top of his head.

I felt that my body was a little stiff, and I was so stiff that I sat by the fire and couldn't move at all.Cyclops put his arms around my shoulders, without saying a word, but his hands were tight.The way men and women comfort others is often very different.

After a while, I patted Cyclops' hand and said, "I'll watch over it, you sleep for a while."

Seeing this, Cyclops nodded. In this environment, recovering physical strength is an extremely important thing.I looked around, and there was only darkness in the space where the firelight could not shine. According to my previous personality, I would definitely turn on the flashlight to find out the environment here, but now I don’t want to move. These are images from the past few years.

I remembered the first time I saw her in police uniform, although that time, Tofu and I were handcuffed.

These memories that I usually don't have time to relive, now every scene is very precious.

Will she really die?

I can't imagine.

The important people in my life seem to fall into a strange circle, and then leave me one by one.The statement, my grandpa, even the dumb guy who kept protecting me even though he never said it, they are all dead.

Completely, dead.

Although tofu is still alive, it is only a shell away from death.

Wen Min, is she still alive?

At this moment, I didn't even dare to think deeply about Liu Dui's words, I could only do what Cyclops said, if you live, you must see people, if you die, you must see corpses, if you don't see corpses, everything will turn around.

Looking at the beating bonfire in front of me, I began to wonder whether all this I did was meaningful.This is a strange circle, a strange circle like a curse, can I really get rid of this strange circle if I work hard?

However, how many people around me are worthy of my efforts?

I went back and forth in my mind, and then realized, no.

It's really a failed life.

People who need me are almost dead.The rest of the people don't seem to have much to do with me, whether it's red-haired, lazy, Lu Su, or even Zhuan Rui.They continued with their own lives, Zhuan Rui continued to live in the illusion he had woven, no one would expose it, and the only ones who knew the truth were Zhong Gong and Hongmao.They all try their best to guard this secret, so this secret will always be covered up.

It's a terrible feeling that seems to be driving people crazy.If I didn't know that Tofu was still alive and waiting for me to save him, maybe I couldn't help but go crazy at this moment.

I remembered a sentence I once read: What is loneliness?Doing things alone, being happy alone and sad alone, is this loneliness?No, the real loneliness is when you find yourself trapped in a strange circle, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

Time passed quickly, and the lazy guy woke up on time.He lay on the ground, blinked, and took a moment to relax. After about a minute, he sat up and stretched comfortably.Accompanied by his movements, I heard a series of crackling sounds in my ears, like fried beans.

The rest of them didn't have such a powerful biological clock as his, and were still asleep.

Even just waking up, Lazy looked very tired. He rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly asked, "Is that policewoman dead?"

I was very surprised and said: "How do you know? She is not dead!" Didn't this kid sleep like a pig all the time?Could it be that his ears didn't rest when he slept?

As if he understood what I was thinking, the lazy man pointed to his ear and said, "It never stops, I have never had a good night's sleep, all the sounds are all drilled in here, and I have a headache. "

His troubled expression doesn't seem to be faked. It seems that the so-called deep sleep just now is just what I think.Even if the lazy guy is really asleep, he can still hear the movement around him.This ability sounds cool, but when you think about it, it's painful.

As the lazy guy said, he can never really sleep, because no matter what time he can hear the sound, the brain can't relax completely when he hears the sound, the feeling of being tense all the time, just thinking about it I feel a headache even thinking about it.

I started to really feel some sympathy for him.

No wonder this kid always looks like he can't wake up. I couldn't help asking: "Are you born?"

The lazy guy glanced at me indifferently, hummed, and looked at Liu Dui who was sleeping on the side, and suddenly there was a familiar smile on his face, a brutal smile.The murderous blood in this kid's body is boiling again.

He said: "Aren't you angry that she killed your woman? Why don't I vent your anger for you." When he said this, his fingers twitched slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure his desire to do it.I was speechless for a while.Some people are abnormal, they are nurtured, while others are born.Like his ears, the sloth belongs to the former.

I asked subconsciously: "Pervert, do you usually get some kittens and puppies to kill and play with?"

The lazy guy was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face became even weirder, and he said, "No, I like stronger creatures, and it's more refreshing to toss around."

powerful creature?
I said, "Wolf, tiger, bear?"

Lazy yawned, patted Team Liu on the face, and said, "Humans are the most powerful creatures."

I felt like I was choked, and five words flashed in my mind: perverted killer.

At this time, Liu Dui was woken up by the lazy guy.
