Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 681 Lies
At this moment, everyone is waiting for my answer.If these two corpses were of other people, I would definitely ignore them, but one of them was me, Wen Min, and she was different from all the others.Although there are suspicions about what happened these days, it is impossible for these suspicions to dissipate the feelings that have been born and died in the past few years.

I looked at everyone and finally made a decision.It is impossible for lazy people to accompany me to take risks. I know that this is the wrong road, but I don’t know how dangerous it is. I have no right to let people like Cyclops follow along. After thinking about it, I said to Cyclops: " Divide the equipment, you go first, I will go find the corpse."

The one-eyed dragon was shocked, and said: "Master, what are you talking about? That place is already dangerous enough. If you are left alone, wouldn't that mean death? Who do you think I am, Lao Zhang!" He said firmly, "I'll go with you!"

I was a little surprised, but at this time, I can no longer let the people around me go into danger. While rejecting Cyclops' proposal, I stabilized him and said, "Don't worry, from my experience, it's not that easy to kill me." , I have already decided, you go first, we will split into two groups and meet outside the ancient city."

Harichagai rubbed his nose and said, "I said... Zhuanrui entrusted me and this buddy to take care of you this time. If you are going to die now, wouldn't it be my signboard? If you find a corpse, you can come back to life." ?”

I felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, the reason why I was so determined to find the body was because I subconsciously felt that Wen Min might still be alive, or was waiting somewhere for me to rescue her. Before I saw the body, I couldn’t have just Leaving her like this and leaving.Hongmao kept saying death on his lips like a knife, and every blow seemed to pierce my hope.

In a bad mood, I naturally didn't have a good tone, and said: "Don't forget that you have to walk a few steps now, and you have to be carried by others. If you talk about firing guns, you can go by yourself." Still grinning, Shang said, "Have you forgotten what you promised me not long ago?"

When he reminded me like this, my heart sank.Why is this kid so concerned about tofu?What did he do to the tofu?Why are you so sure you can find tofu?Could he be ignoring me?

As soon as this thought came up, I stared straight at the red hair. The smile on his face looked sunny at first glance, and it was still the same look that would not change color even after the sky fell. I have seen countless people, carefully Looking at his expression, he didn't look like he was being fooled, so he couldn't help frowning and asked him what he wanted to do.

The red hair grinned, and said something that made Dui Liu dumbfounded: "You may not underestimate me too much. Since this woman can arrive here safely, can't we gentlemen still die inside? I think Don't split up, let's go together. I also want to see if Officer Gu is really dead or faked." When he said this, he looked at Captain Liu meaningfully, and the woman couldn't help but say: " You think I'm lying?"

Hongmao nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes. I don't believe you, not at all."

Team Liu frowned and said, "Do you think I need to lie to you?"

The red hair shrugged, with a sunny expression on his face, and said: "Woman, you think us too kindly, no matter what you do, no one will trust you. Do you know what trust is? One-eyed, Teach her well."

Cyclops folded his arms around his chest, as if thinking of something because of this sentence, he sneered and said, "Trust is leaving your back to be stabbed by others."

Hongmao clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that you have a deep understanding."

The one-eyed dragon touched his blind eye, and said softly: "Well, I will never forget it even if I die."

All of us have blood on our hands.People are like this. In a stable environment, everyone yearns for peace, friendliness and trust, but in an extreme environment, trust is like a knife. Either you die or I live.

I believe that everyone present has been stained with blood, the blood of those who have trusted themselves.

Because of this blood, we can continue to stand here and speak now.Like the messenger I killed.

When you are not in a desperate situation, you never know what will become of the people around you in the end.I have experienced that kind of environment, and I have also experienced that kind of struggle, where my humanity and conscience were all crushed and trampled into flesh and blood.

Liu Dui's expression changed, and finally he uttered a sentence with difficulty: "It doesn't matter if I don't gain your trust." She sighed wearily, and said, "I just want to live now. It seems that you are all planning to leave The old way," she finished.Looking at the lazy guy who had clearly rejected before, he said, "So, what about you? Did you change your mind and plan to go with them?"

As we spoke, the slob had been leaning against the wall, eyes closed, apparently dozing off again.

Hearing this, he slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at me, and then hummed.I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, we will be much safer with lazy people along the way.

The corners of Team Liu's eyes twitched suddenly, and I could see that she was very excited at the moment, staring at the lazy guy with burning eyes, and after a while, her shoulders drooped, and she sighed: "If that's the case, what else can I say. After a pause, she said: "Let's die together. I'm not a hard-hearted person. Since I brought them in, I should take them back. Let's go."

In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind, and walked into the middle passage.

Cyclops patted his head, lowered his voice and said to me: "This woman, she changes her face too quickly. What do you say, the head of the house?"

I said, "Be careful, this woman has a problem. If necessary, kill her." When Liu Dui first appeared, although he seemed a little out of his mind, I didn't have any doubts. I didn't even suspect that she killed the photographer. Suspected, because of these things, this kind of practice of abandoning everything to save life in a desperate situation, all of us have experienced it, and everyone can understand what she did at that time.So her actions, in the eyes of ordinary people, may be suspicious, but in the eyes of our group of people who have similar experiences, they are not enough to create a barrier.

What really made me doubt her was her reaction just now.

Although I haven't been with Liu Dui for a long time, I also know her personality very well, probably because she grew up in the West, so she attaches great importance to life.For such a person, I can understand that she exploded and killed the photographer when her life was threatened, but I can't understand that she would ignore the corpse of her companion.

Unless, there is something else hidden in it, so she doesn't want us to see the other two 'corpses' at all.

If she had concealed something about this matter, would it be possible that those two 'corpses' did not exist at all?Are Wen Min and the female doctor named Lili still alive?

Extreme environment is the ultimate test of human nature, so under this kind of test, if she really does something that I can't bear, I can't blame me for being cruel.

After I finished speaking, Cyclops nodded. Immediately afterwards, the three of us stepped onto this dangerous road, and no one knew what was waiting for everyone.But at this moment, we all kept our eyes on Team Liu.

Since this woman has something she doesn't want us to know, in order to protect her 'secret', she will definitely take other actions next.

This passage is about two meters wide, with a vaulted roof, and there are many reliefs on the surrounding walls. Some half-human and half-animal things are carved, and there is a kind of one-legged and one-eyed person, which reminds me of the records in the Shan Hai Jing. 'The one-eyed man'.

"Shan Hai Jing" is an ancient book of pre-Qin gods and monsters, with far-reaching historical influence. It seems that all kinds of weird creatures on this relief are probably related to ancient myths and legends. I can recognize some, but not all of them.

This place is not an ancient tomb, but an underground building in an ancient city. According to the information provided by Team Liu, the building we are in is specially used to suppress 01. In these passages, these strange things are engraved. what sense.

Every ten meters or so on the wall, there will be bronze wall lamps. Due to the age, the copper lamps have been covered with dense copper flowers. Immediately admired and said: "It's a good thing, a bronze lamp with a human body and a bird's head and a flame, why don't we pull out one?"

I was a little funny. There are more bronze lamps here, and they are very regular. There should be no mechanism, so I signaled him to do whatever he wants.Cyclops also has a sense of proportion, he didn't take too much, he found out the guy and chiseled out two and put them in his backpack, and he was satisfied.

At this time, the surrounding reliefs suddenly changed. They were no longer those strange creatures crowded together, but changed to another style.

I saw that the two walls were the walls, each of which was carved with several huge human figures.The man had a small head, a large belly, and barely visible feet.On the small head, the facial features are blurred, only one mouth is smiling, showing a long tongue.And on that belly, there are different scenes engraved, there are beggars begging, there are leaping horses fighting, and the emperor is listening to the government, all the scenes, like the miniature life, are all contained in this person's stomach.

Looking around, I just feel an extremely weird feeling in people's hearts.

At this time, Lazy suddenly stopped, staring thoughtfully at the few people on the wall, and then he suddenly reminded us: "Be alert and don't sleep."

I was taken aback, thinking that I shouldn't have said this to us, right?Among our team, you are the one who likes to sleep the most. This statement is quite suspicious of shouting "stop thief".
