Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

After a while, Li Qiu finally moved again, but he went straight to the back of the screen and put his hands together again.Li Qiu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried his best to flip through the deepest memories in his mind.

"Yang is the top, and yin is the world, it is the way of doing..."

The man in the memory, stern and majestic, knocked on the longevity screen beside him, and said to him and Shang Feijie who were kneeling on the ground: "This is the highest secret passed down from generation to generation by the Shang family. As future heirs, I want you I will keep it in my heart all my life, and rot in my heart.”

The teaching of the man... the man...

Li Qiu opened his eyes suddenly, his fingertips trembled violently, and he was slightly suffocated by the fleeting fear in his memory.

Don't think about it, don't think about it!He's not going back anymore, he's no longer in that tragedy.

Just when Li Qiu was about to ruthlessly dig open the screen cover, a figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and Li Qiu backed away in shock, only to realize that this person was Tong Jiu.It turned out that Tong Jiu didn't know when he left the corner, and was standing a few steps away and tilting his head to look at him.

Li Qiu suppressed his fiery heartbeat, forced himself to calm down, and said coldly to Tong Jiu: "How could the patriarch of Tong Jiu be so dishonest, saying that he would never look at it, but came here to peep at the critical moment?"

"I don't want to see the longevity screen..." Tong Jiu's eyes paused on Li Qiu's face, then turned to the back of the screen, and then went to knock on it by himself, trying to find the hidden mechanism.

The corners of Li Qiu's mouth twitched arrogantly, and he was a little relieved. The secret of the Longevity Screen—the mysterious mechanism box that contains the truth about longevity is the top secret that the Shang family is proud of. How could it be so easily found out by outsiders? , even if that outsider is Ghost Eye Tong Jiu.

Sure enough, after a long while of research to no avail, Tong Jiu gave up directly.

"Can you let me come now?" Li Qiu pointed to the corner expressionlessly: "The head of the Tong family, please continue to wait there, please forgive me for not being able to demonstrate in person this kind of technical work that is related to the rice bowl. "

Tong Jiu smiled, walked out two steps, and turned back: "I don't think there is much advanced technical work on this screen, you can solve it but I can't, it's just because I have less information than you .”

Li Qiu didn't respond to him, but triggered a certain hidden spring. After a slight sound, a narrow corridor appeared on the wall behind the screen, which should be the way out of the tomb.

Li Qiu looked at Tong Jiu and made a "please" gesture: "Now can you leave?"

"Don't worry, I suddenly discovered something more interesting than the longevity screen."

Tong Jiu held the Changsheng screen with one hand, leaned forward, and leaned in front of Li Qiu.Li Qiu instinctively took a step back, the vigilant little flames in his eyes kept jumping.What does it mean, what does it mean? Could it be that the patriarch of the Tong family has changed his mind temporarily and is not going to let him go?

After teasing him enough, Tong Jiu turned back and said with a grin, "You know why the Shang family has spared no effort to hunt down and kill the organization all these years."

Li Qiu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this person's gourd, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Because seven years ago, our organization snatched their heirloom longevity screen from the Shang family."

"anything else?"

"..."

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, because they killed the young master of the Shang family, Shang Yanyu, during the robbery that night."

Li Qiu's eyelids pricked, and he turned his head away.Tong Jiu walked past him and touched the magical screen again: "Let's talk about the longevity screen. We have always known that it can give people the legend of longevity, but how will it work? If only contact like me , then the masters and young masters of the Shang family, the cats and dogs of the Shang family, have already become immortals. So light contact is not enough. Many people on the road guess that there must be a secret hidden on this longevity screen, and that secret is The real key to longevity."

Tong Jiu looked at Li Qiu, Li Qiu pursed his lips, trying not to shrink back.

"But this secret, outsiders can't figure it out even if they guess their heads. Since it is the supreme family heirloom of the Shang family, the secret is naturally in the hands of Shang Wei. At most, tell his two sons. Besides, I'm afraid There will never be a fourth person to know. But right now, you know."

"Why do you know? Could it be that Master Shang slipped his tongue after drinking, could it be that the young master of the Shang family accidentally leaked such an important secret when he made friends, or...you are the Shang family."

Li Qiu's scalp went numb, he turned and ran, but Tong Jiu took the lead and stopped him in the corner.

"I'm joking." Tong Jiu still smiled wickedly, "I have met Master Shang and Young Master Shang, and I am familiar with them, of course you are not them, they are in Beijing at this moment and the other is outside the tomb, and they are monitoring every move here .”

Tong Jiu raised his wrist. The microchip hidden inside not only records the vital signs of each team member, but also has the function of recording and eavesdropping.

"If there is anyone in the Shang family who knows the secret of the longevity screen, and I have never seen it, there is only one."

Li Qiu trembled heavily, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, how could he... how could he...

"Who are you? Let me guess, who are you."

Tong Jiu's words are close to his ears, and Tong Jiu's face is clearly in front of his eyes.Li Qiu couldn't move anymore, he just froze on the spot foolishly waiting to die, watching helplessly as the man in charge touched his icy cheek, rubbed it, and then slowly peeled off a thin layer of cheeks. Human skin mask.

"Organization? Of course, it's a level deeper than the organization... You are the young master of the Shang family who died seven years ago, Shang, Yan, and Yu."

The mask was torn off, revealing Li Qiu's pale, sweat-covered real face.

Tong Jiu frowned, not because of Li Qiu's unforgettable stunning appearance, but because this face was completely different from the young master Shang Yanyu he knew, wasn't he the same person?No, he couldn't be wrong.

Li Qiu twitched his shoulders in horror, like a weak beast under the claws of a wolf, which was on the verge of falling every second.This made Ah Jiu even more puzzled, he just pointed out the real identity of this person, seeing the face under his mask, but Li Qiu's expression was overlaid with indescribable fear and despair, and gradually slipped to collapse the edge of.

Could it be that there are some secrets hidden in the middle?

At that time, Tong Jiu didn't know that even within the organization, whether it was Shang Yanyu or Shang Wei, it had been a taboo that should never be mentioned for so many years, and it was also Li Qiu's nightmare and heartache.

"You..." Tong Jiu didn't know how to answer for a while, "Aren't you already dead? Why didn't you stay at Shang's house and joined the organization..."

"Stop talking!"

Li Qiu shouted suddenly, turned around and rushed towards the corridor, at this moment, there was a sudden violent wave on the ground - as if the ground under his feet turned into a water surface in an instant, and the wave swayed.

This feeling is... Tong Jiu suddenly looked in a certain direction, it was the mechanism of the dead door, and the dead door was triggered outside?

The fluctuations became more and more intense. Under the shaking of the sky and the ground, the Longevity Screen wobbled and fell to the ground. Tong Jiu hurriedly stabilized his body, and saw Li Qiu in front of him, who was also knocked to the ground by the violent shaking, before running a few meters.

Tong Jiu went over immediately, but found that Li Qiu's whole body was limp, lying on the ground shaking like chaff.

Tong Jiu hurriedly pulled him up, suddenly a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and he dodged a row of steel needles sideways.Li Qiu flung Tong Jiu away in shock and fear, got up in panic again amidst the increasingly violent vibrations, and fled staggeringly.

Tong Jiu hesitated for a moment. Apart from the increasingly frequent earthquakes, he gradually heard the noisy voices of large troops from far and near.The vibration expanded wave by wave, and all the creatures in this land were disturbed by the inexplicable vibration, and some even noticed something and retreated loudly.

Boom—the first explosion deep underground happened.

Tong Jiu hesitated for a moment, and in just a second, he ran in the direction of Li Qiu again.

The dull blasting sound approached rapidly and became denser, mixed with screams and roars, which were infinitely amplified and sent to the ears.The rustling stone cracked and fell from the top of his head, Tong Jiu walked around a palm-sized falling rock, stepped on the wall in two steps to avoid the cracked ground in the next second, and ran fast in the crumbling corridor.

In front of him, the distraught Li Qiu was running around like a headless chicken. He just wanted to get rid of the chase behind him, and he didn't even notice the collapse and changes around him.After a few tens of meters, a fork appeared in front of the corridor, splitting into left and right. The road on the left kept falling rocks, and the ground was almost sunken, and turbid heat and dust were constantly gushing out.

Without even thinking about it, Li Qiu was about to step to the left, but Tong Jiu hit him with a gun, and the impact of the bullet made Li Qiu uncontrollably fall to the right, and in the next second, the left side was annihilated.

Tong Jiu grabbed Li Qiu who was on the ground in two steps, his heart was already filled with anger because of his desperate way of escaping.

"Do you want to die!?"

The dizzy Li Qiu was finally sobered up by such a yell, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly with red eye circles, the grief and despair suppressed in the deepest part of his heart were torn apart once again.

"I just want to die! Can't you!"

"you……"

This time it was Tong Jiu's turn to be stunned, but he was only in a daze for a short second, and he couldn't help but drag Li Qiu and continue running wildly deep.

Li Qiu felt this man's pull in a trance, and couldn't help struggling desperately: "Let me go! What are you doing! Let me go!"

Unwilling to let go, Tong Jiu carried Li Qiu on his shoulders together and ran as fast as he could in the corridor.However, no matter how fast people are, how can they be faster than the spread of the explosion? The roaring fire demon followed closely behind, swallowing up the world behind them.

That's too late!

When Tong Jiu realizes this, he has a lot of thoughts in an instant, but all the thoughts are gone before the world is destroyed. He can only live and find a way to survive!

Li Qiu on his shoulders gradually stopped struggling, he didn't know whether he finally saw the death that was close at hand, or he gave in to Tong Jiu's strong will to survive and gave up the resistance powerlessly.

The fire and explosion swallowed everything in an instant, and no one was spared.

At the end of consciousness, Li Qiu felt that someone was hugging him tightly, making him airtight, as if trying to exhaust his life's strength.

It was a warm and unfamiliar embrace, an eager embrace that he had never felt in his life, so that at the moment of death, his life was filled with only deep and thick warmth, which stretched to the end of his life.

The Shangjia camp a few kilometers away from the tomb was also affected by this extraordinary explosion, and earthquakes continued.

The people in the camp rushed to the ground in a panic, shouting and running to the outside of the empty field to avoid being hit by the collapsed objects.There were also many people who went in the opposite direction and rushed to a large tent full of equipment in the middle of the camp.

In the tent, an electronic display screen occupies the entire wall, but the light spots jumping on it at this moment are like city lights with a power outage, falling into boundless darkness one after another in just a few seconds!

Lost connection, lost connection, lost connection... When the last light representing Tong Jiu's life flickered into darkness, this fighting team of dozens of people completely disappeared from the map since then.

The monitor stared at the big screen in disbelief, trembling and unable to utter a word. Dozens of fresh human lives just evaporated from the world, turning into powder and blood foam in the explosion and earthquake under their feet.

"What happened!" Shang Feijie, who was in charge of the overall situation, rushed over. He was stunned when he saw the big black screen, and then rushed forward with a pale face, staring at the disappearing spots of light.

"Eldest young master...our people...our people..."

All annihilated.

I don't know how long it took, in the lengthy darkness with no concept of time, the first pain appeared, followed by the second and third, the pain became more and more dense and clear, and settled at a certain moment, turning into The hard steel awl pierced hard into his forehead.

Li Qiu couldn't bear the pain and groaned, his bleeding fingers twitched slightly, and he gradually woke up.

It hurts, it hurts everywhere, my body seems to be torn apart abruptly, limp and weak.Li Qiu blinked his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and with just this movement, a stream of heat trickled down his forehead slowly, carrying a disgusting smell of blood.

What came into my eyes was a chaotic and suffocating darkness. The thick smoke blocked the nostrils, making it stuffy and heavy to breathe.

Where is this...he...he is still alive?

After being dazed for a long time, the dizziness buzzing in his head gradually faded away, Li Qiu tried to move his body, but failed.Overwhelming severe pain rolled from his limbs and bones, drowning him with a single movement, hands, feet, body... It seemed that every part of the body was not his own, numbly gnawing at his broken soul .

It didn't know how long it took for Li Qiu to recover from the severe pain, but his whole body was still heavy and unable to move.Li Qiu tried his best to open his eyes wide, and when he finally saw what was happening on his body, he was completely stunned.

On top of him lay a person.

The man was completely unrecognizable, and he could be vaguely recognized as a young man. The man's body completely covered him, and the man's hands formed a stiff ring, hugging him tightly.No wonder he couldn't move no matter how hard he struggled, it turned out that he was hugged like this all the time, and he didn't let go even when he was unconscious.

Li Qiu pushed the man with difficulty, only to see dusty blood stains on his hands and a bone-chilling coldness.

This man is dead.

Li Qiu subconsciously shuddered, and shrank back in fear, but their bodies were tightly connected, and before Li Qiu straightened up, he was pressed to the ground again by this dead man.

When the man's face was close at hand, Li Qiu finally saw the other person's outline clearly, and the scene before coma came to mind, the Diannan fight, the longevity screen, the explosion, and...

"Tong Jiu...?" His voice hoarse from the smoke moved, and he spit out a fragmented name.
