Tomb Raiders Codex

697 The Return
The tunnel 01 drove was very long. Everyone walked through it once before, and there was no danger. Along the way, the one-eyed man kept asking what the treasure left by the red-haired prophet was.When Hongmao went into the water to salvage, he did bring up a palm-sized box, but he seemed mysterious and didn't open it, saying that the time had not come, and he kept a secret on us.

This thing is related to the operation method of Tianyan, I am very concerned, and I also watched Hong Mao very closely along the way, worrying that he would make something wrong.

But everything was calm, and after more than two hours, we returned to the bottom of that huge burrow.The cave wall is uneven, which is easier for people to climb, so we climbed out along the entrance of the cave.

Once out of the cave, a bitter cold wind blew over. The wind carried the fragrance of withered grass. Baptizing the stinky crowd made people feel refreshed immediately, as if they had been reborn. He let out a long breath.

Unexpectedly, before the long breath was finished, a group of people suddenly stood up from the dense grass, which shocked us a lot.

How come there are still people in this place?
At a glance, this group of people was wearing uniform black uniforms, holding hot weapons in their hands, forming a semi-enclosed circle, with a total of eight people, surrounding us.

What are they for?

At first glance, I was a little confused, but then, one of the acquaintances made me understand their identities immediately.Among the eight strangers in front of me holding weapons and pretending to be unified, there is one person that I know.

That man is Robot Four.

I know that they are official thieves. We have never seen or contacted each other since the time and space island was parted last time. After all, official thieves are a very secretive profession.

Seeing him, I immediately realized that something had changed.

It seemed that this group of people had been ambushing in this place. As soon as we came out, one of them uttered a classic line: "You are already surrounded, put down your weapons, don't resist, and squat down with your hands on your head!"

Damn, we are all soil mice, we just got out of the hole exhaustedly, where are the weapons.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and slowly raised their hands.There is no way, the situation cannot be controlled by others, people are fleshy, surrounded by so many guns, how can they react.

At this moment, Robot No. [-] and I looked at each other, and I found that when he saw me and Wen Min, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared.As we gave up resistance, four people rushed up and began to handcuff us.The last time he was handcuffed was at the tomb of Princess Gegeer, when Wen Min made a move.Unexpectedly, after two years, he was handcuffed again by an acquaintance.

The only one who was not handcuffed was Wen Min. Under the reminder of the robot, they obviously knew Wen Min's identity, so they took him aside alone for questioning.

During this process, Robot No. [-] leaned over and said, "Did you come here to fight?"

Hearing what he said, he didn't seem to know our situation, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so I nodded and said, "There is no fighting here, only an ancient city. Let's find something." Reminiscing about the past, so without waiting for him to speak, I said, "Where are the three of them?"

Robot No. [-] said: "I am performing other tasks."

The red hair came over and said with a smile: "So you know each other, that's good. For the sake of acquaintances, can you untie us? We are all good citizens." Robot No. [-] touched Belly, the answer was not the question and he said to himself: "I'm so hungry."

Well, the problem of gluttony and distracted talking to himself from time to time is still there.The red hair was choked suddenly, and his eyes widened, probably not knowing what to say.

However, although the robot number four was a little dumbfounded, he was still quite reliable. He smacked his mouth and said, "We are also here to perform a search mission."

I said, "What mission?"

The robot said: "Secret, but it has been completed. I just found signs that outsiders have come here. According to the traces, it should be a tomb robber, so we followed up and blocked you."

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a special trip to catch us, so I said: "You are an official thief, I am a civilian thief, and the official and the people are family members. Hurry up and let us go." Robot No. [-] spread out his hands , pointing to a burly man in the team, and said: "He is the leader of this operation, everything must be obeyed by him."

Hongmao said anxiously: "At any rate, you are teammates, you go to him and let him sell you face, just treat it as our brothers owe you a favor."

Robot No. [-] heard the words, smacked his mouth and said: "They think I'm too edible and don't like me very much, so they don't have friendship and lose face."

Hongmao rolled his eyes so choked that he laughed dryly after a while and said, "You are really telling the truth, it's a miracle that you are still alive for your sake."

Robot No. [-] nodded and said, "The boss, the second child, and the third child also said the same thing."

Immediately afterwards, he looked at me, and said: "But you don't have to worry, it's not a big deal, we can pretend we didn't see it, provided that he has to show off the face of the police officer." Wen Min's father has a great friendship in this regard. Therefore, Wen Min can save face in the official face.At this moment, I saw her calmly talking with the leader in the robot's mouth. After a while, the leader nodded, turned his head and gestured towards us.

This gesture was naturally seen by the robot No. [-]. When No. [-] saw it, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's safe." Immediately afterwards, he released the handcuffs for us.While moving his joints, Cyclops said to Lazy: "Aren't you very good ears? Why don't you know there are such a group of people hiding outside?"

Lazy yawned, and said lightly, "They have received professional training, they breathe very low, and it's very windy here."

After a while, Wen Min came back and said, "It's ready, no problem, we can go back with them."

I said, "Can you find out what mission they are performing?"

Wen Min shook his head and said: "This kind of confidential mission will not be known to people outside the mission, and I don't know, I just know that they are also here to find something, and they have already found it." Everyone rested outside the cave for a while, After eating something and replenishing my strength, I followed the robot and others to go out.Not long after we walked, we saw a large truck with a very high chassis.

The reason why we had to walk before was because ordinary off-road vehicles couldn't drive in, and the official robbers were fine, so they directly bought a military truck.

The back box of the truck was locked and tightly sealed, not a single crack was left on the face.It seems that what they are looking for is probably inside.The truck has limited seating, so they opened the back door and motioned us in.In addition to us, the robot and four other people also went to the back door.

When I opened it, I saw a large iron cage inside. The outside of the cage was covered with a dense waterproof cloth, which tightly covered the contents of the iron cage.

After getting in the car, the four of them sat around the iron cage, with guns in their hands, on full alert, while the rest of us sat on the outside. Although the seats were not crowded, except for the air vents above, the place was dark. Day, so I feel very depressed psychologically.

Although Robot No. [-] is taciturn, he belongs to the type who speaks straightforwardly and honestly. Although people look dumbfounded, it is quite relaxed to deal with such people, so the two of us chatted one after another.

During the period, he asked me where my follower went, and I thought that the nickname of tofu was unanimously recognized by everyone, but the things involved were too complicated, and I couldn't explain them to him one by one, so I said casually: "In Look at the shop."

He gave a long oh, and finally said bluntly: "I'm lying."

I choked and smiled wryly, "How do you know?"

Robot No. [-] started to wander again, saying: "It's so cold, I want to eat mutton skewers." I suddenly felt that his stupid appearance was probably just pretending.

But it doesn't matter if it's true or not, who doesn't have a mask?

With a car, our travel speed was accelerated. When we set off, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. Although the meadows in this place were dense, the terrain was flat, so it was more convenient to drive late. In the early morning of the next day, we got on the road.

Wen Min contacted the bald-headed guy in the hat, and said to me: "You go first, I have to deal with the aftermath of Team Liu's affairs, they are not ordinary people, and I have to give an explanation to their family members."

I said, "Is there anything I can do for you?" To tell you the truth, I feel very guilty about Wen Min, because she really has a lot to worry about because of my mess.

Wen Min said: "Your identity...is a little embarrassing, it's not convenient for you to come forward, so leave it to me." She smiled, hugged me, and said softly: "Don't worry, I can handle it, I believe , the future will be fine, everything will be fine.”

There was a surge of heat in my heart, and I hugged her back heavily.Maybe I should think on the bright side.

Immediately, our troops divided into two groups, each returning.Tianyan has been in my hand all the time, and Hongmao said that he must return to Zhuanrui first. By the way, he still has to study the things he took out from the ancient city of Tuncan, and we will meet again after a while.

And the lazy guy also wanted to go back to BJ, so I stopped him and said: "Since you said that you are not from Mr. Bai, then, I don't know if I have the honor, please go to my humble house to rest In a few days, I will settle the appearance fee for you by the way." Don't think about running away like this this time, I'm sure, he must have something to do with the statement or the dumb.After the mute died, he got involved with Mr. Bai again, which was obviously tricky.

My intuition told me that there must be something hidden in this.

What is the relationship between him and Chen Ci and the mute?
