Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 684 Explosives
The one-eyed dragon had a gunshot wound on his body, and was kicked out by Lan Ge, so he couldn't get up for a while.Seeing this opportunity, I didn't care about anything else. I immediately stepped forward, pressed one knee on his chest, and pressed his arms with both hands. This posture is quite like a hooligan.

The lazy guy picked up the rope and immediately tied up the one-eyed dragon. Only then did we breathe a sigh of relief.

Hongmao clicked his tongue, blaming us for not being more considerate since we already knew that something was wrong with that woman.I said: "What's the use of talking about this now? By the way, what are you going to do with that pile of ashes?"

Hongmao looked around and said, "This place is pretty clean. It doesn't look like someone has died. If you want to know what it is, you'd better find that woman first. It seems that Officer Gu is probably still alive, but I don't know what it is." Nothing happened."

Maybe she's stuck?Injured maybe?Either way, it's good to be alive.

At this moment, the wound on Cyclops' arm was still bleeding, we had to stop, took out the medicine, and treated his wound first.At this moment, Cyclops felt no pain at all, and the anesthetic was saved. After taking out the bullet, I bandaged the wound and forcibly fed him anti-inflammatory drugs.Following these tosses, Cyclops seemed to be more energetic, his reaction was no longer as intense as before, and his eyes were half closed.I'm really worried that if this continues, he will really die in a dream.

Seeing that everything was tidied up, Lazy looked at the stone room where Team Liu fled before, walked ahead with a flashlight, and motioned for us to follow.Not surprisingly, after passing through this stone room, our next journey may not be so easy, I'm afraid there are many traps.Now there are only four of us, one is dreaming and the other is weak, I have to take care of them, only Lazy is still full of energy and can come and go freely, if only he can open the way ahead.

Looking at the back of the lazy man holding a black knife, I instantly felt that he seemed to overlap with the figure of the mute, but I knew that the person in front of me was completely different from the mute.Although Lazy is mysterious, there are traces of his background, and in terms of personality, the two are worlds apart.The mute is an arrogant and indifferent person, but not a sadistic and murderous person.

But, why does the lazy man use the knife exactly the same as the dumb man?

He is not short of money, so why would he help me for the so-called appearance fee?
What is his real purpose?
I decided to wait until I got out of this ancient city, and I had to find a way to ask clearly.

Just as Liu Dui said, the connected stone room is a weapons room, with all kinds of swords, guns, swords and crossbows, but it is a long time ago, and most of them have been damaged. The only well-preserved bronze wares are relatively large, with Full of copper flowers.

I have been working in the industry for a long time, and I have a kind of obsession with antiquities. Except for Harichagai, an amateur, even lazy people can't help but linger on those rare and exquisite bronzes.This is not a kind of greed, but a kind of love from the bottom of my heart.Just as a painter sees a rare and famous painting, a writer sees a rare copy.

However, Lazy's concentration is still stronger. After a few glances, he turned his gaze to the front of the stone room, where there was a closed stone door.The stone gate is about two meters high, and there are two giant-eyed human faces embossed on it, with serious expressions, looking into the distance, as if they are watching something or waiting for something.Since we are now walking from the inside to the outside, which is equivalent to walking backwards, this stone door cannot be pushed open at all.

Hongmao said: "Since the guards lived in this place, then the stone door can definitely be opened. There is probably a mechanism, so look for it." I put the one-eyed dragon aside, and the lazy man went through the whole stone room. , and no traces of agencies were found.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of the mechanism that Team Liu activated before, which seemed to press down the eyeballs of people.As soon as this thought flashed, I couldn't help but look at the two faces on the stone gate.Their eye pupils are protruding, but the protruding is not obvious, and from the surface, it is also formed as a whole, and it does not look like it can move.

With the mentality of giving it a try, I pressed hard on the eyeball of one of the faces, but nothing happened.

So I pressed its other eye again, and after I pressed it, I felt my hand was empty, and I saw that protruding eyeball could actually move, and shrank into it all of a sudden.There was no sound of the machine running as I expected, and after the eyeballs retracted, nothing happened.

I waited for a moment holding my breath, feeling a little strange.At this moment, because the pupil of the stone eye shrank back, a round hole with a diameter of about two centimeters flowed out from the middle. I couldn't help but look towards the round hole, thinking that this mechanism has been damaged for a long time. ?

Impossible, how did Team Liu get there?
Unexpectedly, I put the light on it and looked at it, and suddenly saw that on the opposite side of the round hole, there was another eye, a real, slightly bloodshot eye, looking through the round hole motionlessly. with us.

"Ah...!" I really didn't expect such a scene, so I couldn't help shouting in shock.Anyone who suddenly sees an eyeball peeping at you may not be able to calm down.The moment I screamed, the eyeball moved away suddenly, and before I could react, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, and suddenly pushed me to the ground.

At the same time, there was a whistling sound above the head, and a short crossbow was shot out from the round hole, and ruthlessly pierced into the opposite stone wall.

It was Harichagai who fell on me, and now he was lying on top of me, gasping for breath, cursing, "The most poisonous woman's heart."

Only then did I realize that it was he who saved my life. If he hadn't pushed me down just now, the dark crossbow would have shot directly into my eyes, and then penetrated my brain.The whole process was almost at a critical moment, and the owner of that eyeball, no accident, should be Team Liu.

I broke out in a cold sweat, and asked Hongmao: "How do you know that there will be a dark crossbow shooting from the opposite side?" He got up, pointed to the wall on one side, and said: "I found that there is one weapon missing, look at the weapon box. Look, it should be the bronze crossbow that got up early, I guess it was taken by that woman, and then I heard you yelling, so... so dangerous, so dangerous." Hong Mao showed a look of fear, the reason why he pushed me down just now , it should be said that these clues provided him with a crisis instinct.

In fact, he himself probably didn't expect that there would be crossbow arrows coming from the opposite side.

Not everyone has experience and a sense of danger, which requires long-term accumulation on the edge of life and death.Hongmao is a magician, he has a stronger sixth sense than others, but this time, his sense of crisis narrowly saved my life.

As he said that, he suddenly came close to my ear and whispered: "I can't find this mechanism, is there any explosives?"

I immediately understood what he meant and nodded slightly.This kid, who has been with Zhuan Rui for a long time, has also acquired Zhuan Rui's habits. It seems that he is about to use explosives directly.If the surnamed Liu is still hiding behind and trying to plot against us, then we will quietly put a little dynamite, and she will definitely lose an arm and a leg.

I walked through the gate of hell just now, and my heart was dark, so I didn't say much. The two avoided the hole, moved aside, immediately took out the explosives, and adjusted the weight silently.The lazy guy watched from the side, obviously understanding our plan.He didn't say anything, he just yawned and seemed to relax a lot.

The whole process was very fast. In the process of preparing the explosives, Hongmao and I did not forget to sing and act together. While greeting Liu Dui's ancestors, we talked about some unreliable ways to open the door, pretending to be looking for a mechanism.

After the explosives were prepared, the three of us looked at each other, moved the Cyclops to the corner, and then ignited along the fuse,

The igniting process took only three to five seconds, and then there was a loud bang, and the broken stones flew in an instant, and the whole stone room seemed to be shaking. blood.

I know that Hongmao and I's plan has succeeded, and that Liu may be dead at this moment.

After a while, the blasting was completed, and the stone door opened wide. In the flying dust, with the dim light of the flashlight, one could see a bloody corpse on the opposite side.Not far from the corpse, there was a broken bronze crossbow.

Because we were worried about landslides, the weight of the explosives was adjusted relatively low. Team Liu was not blown to pieces. She fell into a pool of blood at the moment. Rather than saying that she was blown out, it would be better to say that she was smashed like this by the blasted gravel. of.

At this moment, she was completely non-threatening.

I squatted down beside her, this beautiful woman, her face was covered with blood at the moment, her eyes were tightly closed, she didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

I reached out and touched her neck for a moment, but I couldn't feel the pulse.

"Dead." I said.

Lazy frowned, and said, "She died too early." I didn't understand the meaning of his words, and then realized that some truths, with Liu Dui's death, may become the answer to the mystery.Team Liu is not a villain himself, why did she suddenly become like this?After entering the ancient city, what exactly did she experience?
Wouldn't you like to find a way out with us?

Why do you want to kill us?
Ashes in ashes?The dead Qin Shi?The female doctor and Wen Min whose life and death are unknown, what does this have to do with her?
At this moment, the person is dead, and even if we want to ask, we can't ask.

Behind the stone gate is a small stone room with no other entrances and exits, only a very thick and irregular stone pillar in the center.At first I thought it was a stone pillar, but after looking at it with the light for a while, I realized that it was a huge stone statue.

Although the stone chamber is not big, its height is considerable. When the light is turned upwards, the roof cannot be seen at all, and only the thighs of the stone man can be seen. It can be seen that the height of this stone chamber is very objective.
