Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Ah Jiu smiled relaxedly, "That's right, it seems that this team is involved in the struggle of certain forces, the so-called donkey team expedition is just a false name, I believe that your Buddhist jade will fall into the hands of the yellow team, it is not a coincidence. "

"So those people's antiques come from this way...then I don't want Buddha jade anymore," Li Qiu said with lingering fear, "They can take it if they want, we two are at a disadvantage here, so let it go I can't help but go to their muddy water for a piece of jade pendant, or find a way to leave early."

"Really don't want it anymore? Didn't you say that this Buddhist jade was given to you by someone else?"

"But it's too dangerous..."

"You just say yes or no."

"I want..." Li Qiu admits without confidence.

"That's right, you just follow me obediently, and I will take care of the rest."

When it was time to leave, Li Qiu couldn't help but glance at the chaotic pool water again.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's a psychological effect. I always feel that this pool makes people feel creepy. Ms. Wei said that there is a curse here. People who stray into the Demon Town Pool will be bitten by thousands of ghosts and die in pain. No one can escape. Lose."

"You also believe in that kind of bedtime story. If you really feel scared, find a way out of here early."

Li Qiu didn't respond, and quickly smiled with relief: "But fortunately, Ah Jiu, you didn't step in, at least you will be safe."

Ah Jiu's heart felt inexplicably warm, and she patted the cohabitant's back, letting those soft hands hold her tightly while walking.

And in the Demon Suppressing Pool, the Jade Buddha Jade that everyone was looking for was lying quietly at the bottom of the pool, among the large ghost mouth reliefs at the bottom of the pool.

Li Qiu withdrew his thoughtful gaze and followed Ah Jiu's footsteps closely.

+ + +

Ah Jiu's eyes could see in the dark, so the dark tunnel did not block their footsteps at all. Ah Jiu followed the messy footprints on the ground and followed the direction where Ms. Wei and Captain Huang left.

Halfway through, Ah Jiu let out a soft "Huh".Li Qiu also took the light to shine on the ground, only to see a bunch of crossed and blurred footprints.

"The two of them separated. The one surnamed Huang was clearly chasing Ms. Wei, but they were going in different directions."

The road met a fork, and the thin and short woman's footprints spread to the left, while the heavier and fatter man's footprints went to the right.

"Could it be that the yellow team lost Ms. Wei and went the wrong way in the dark?" This seems to be the only explanation, but right now Li Qiu has only one question, "Then which way should we go?"

Ah Jiu didn't answer and asked instead: "If you were asked to choose one of them, which one do you think is more reliable in performance?"

"Of course it's Ms. Wei." Li Qiu blurted out without hesitation. Ms. Wei's performance in the tomb passage before was remarkable, her agility and calm personality were even better than the hysterical Huang The team is too strong, not to mention the yellow team once pointed a gun at them.

Ah Jiu nodded, and the two walked to the tunnel on the left.

The deeper you go, the lower the temperature around you. After only ten minutes of walking, Li Qiu, who was wearing long sleeves, was shivering from the cold.The coldness was not only cold in temperature, but also an indescribable chill. The exposed neck and arms seemed to be soaked in chilly water, and the skin was scraped back and forth like a knife.

Li Qiu shook his head, then pinched himself hard, and realized that this was not a dream - he was really cold, his feet were itchy and numb as if they were stepping on a hole in the ice.But Ah Jiu in front walked as usual, without any coldness of her own.

This freezing cold lasted for quite a while before it gradually faded away. Li Qiu wiped his forehead and touched his gradually warming body, feeling inconceivable about the reaction just now.Could it be that there is some special mystery hidden in this tunnel?

As if reflecting his words, a sharp female scream suddenly resounded through the tunnel.

But what really made Li Qiu's scalp tingle was the owner of this voice—isn't this Ms. Wei's cry, Ms. Wei is right in front of this tunnel!

Without Ah Jiu's call, the two of them speeded up their pace at the same time, who knows that just after running a dozen steps, Ah Jiu suddenly turned around, hugged Li Qiu with one hand, and said loudly: "Close your eyes!"

Li Qiu didn't understand what was going on at all, but he still followed Ah Jiu's instructions habitually. Unfortunately, before he could close his eyes, a twirling in the sky followed - Ah Jiu actually threw him out!

Not only throwing, but also the angle of throwing is very ingenious, Li Qiu glides out of a parabolic path in the air, the luggage backpack on his back hits the ground first, and it is placed under his body as a safety buffer, and he slides several meters before stopping.Li Qiu held his forehead in a daze, and a few seconds later, Ah Jiu landed firmly beside him.

"You, why did you suddenly throw me..."

Ah Jiu pointed behind her, "I'm worried that your legs will go weak when you see it."

When he said this, Li Qiu became curious instead, and turned his head to look - the tomb passage was cut off in the middle at that section, and a bottomless depression suddenly appeared.The dark cave is exactly the same color as the tunnel, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it apart, and it is very easy to make mistakes while running.

The light from the electric lamp was turned down, reflecting the white bones at the bottom of the cave-the misfortune of countless fallen.

It turned out that Ah Jiu was afraid that he would be afraid, so she didn't tell him the reason, and threw him to the other side.

"Next time...Next time, at least give me some mental preparation and let me know what's going on." After some intense inner drama, Li Qiu finally said this without any confidence.

"In my opinion, that's unnecessary psychological preparation. With me here, you can act as if you don't know anything and move on."

Hearing this, Li Qiu stood up and touched the beautiful muscles under Ah Jiu's shirt enviously. "Speaking of which, why didn't I find you so reliable before?"

"It's fine for other places, but I can sell a place like the tomb of the dead. I don't know why, but here I have a feeling of being self-taught and handy. This kind of exciting adventure makes me excited and nostalgic." It was a rare time for Ah Jiu to be honest, stretching her five fingers with great nostalgia, and there was a faint emotion in her eyes.

"Because of your night vision?"

"Not all, these eyes allow me to see many things that I can't see during the day, very interesting things." As he spoke, Ah Jiu moved his eyes flexibly, as if there were countless "things" wandering in the air around him, Seeing Li Qiu's hair trembling for a while.

"what exactly is it?"

"Something your scientific theories can't explain, and trust me, you don't want to know."

Li Qiu looked at the eagerness on Ah Jiu's face with complicated emotions. Ah Jiu was only guessing on his own, but he clearly knew that the feeling of nostalgia was an out-and-out fact that happened to Ah Jiu. .

He had witnessed with his own eyes how this man was in high spirits and invincible in a perilous tomb fight.

"Li Qiu, did I seldom talk about my career before?"

"Well, yes, you never tell me, and you keep it a secret from other people."

"Ha, that's right."

The two continued to move forward at a constant speed. From time to time, fractures several meters long appeared in the narrow tomb passage. Li Qiu simply broke the jar and let Ah Jiu throw him over whenever he encountered an abyss or a fall. It looks embarrassing, but it saves effort and is safe.

They have the cooperation of two people, and Ah Jiu's night vision ability, but how can Ms. Wei move quickly through this dangerous tomb passage by herself?

"Ah Jiu, do you think that Ms. Wei's screams before fell into these traps?"

"No, I have carefully checked every trap just now, and there is no living person underneath. And you said that woman knows kung fu, so she shouldn't easily fall into these small traps."

Li Qiu felt a little relieved, and followed Ah Jiu all the way, but the strange thing was that, apart from these collapses that appeared midway, there were no other traps, and the entire tomb passage was safe and stable.

After an unknown amount of time, a bright light came from the front of the tomb passage, and Ah Jiu gradually slowed down, with a look of contempt and resistance on his face.

At the end of the tomb passage, a wide hall appeared. In the center of the hall was a high pile of golden sand, and the golden light made people's eyelids burn.Under the pile of gold sand, there are countless pearls, emeralds and porcelains. Although there are different degrees of oxidation, they are equally valuable on the market.

A whole treasure mountain is buried under Longmen Mountain, which is unknown.

For a petty citizen like Li Qiu, it is hard to see so much wealth in his lifetime.Ah Jiu stood at the entrance of the tomb, staring at the tall treasure mountain indifferently, with half of his body blocking the road, blocking Li Qiu behind him intentionally or unintentionally.

The more he was like this, the more curious Li Qiu was, he poked his head around and gasped at Caibao Mountain.But what Li Qiu really cares about is not the treasures in the hall, but the familiar figures under the pile of gold sand.

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Chen, and Brother Zhang...!?"

Except for Captain Huang and Ms. Wei, all the other people who were lost in the team are here.Li Qiu called them, but they turned a deaf ear to them, lying or sitting on the pile of gold sand as if in a daze, their faces full of obsession.Especially that Zhang Bold, he is the fattest and the shortest, half of his body is buried in the thick pile of pearls and emeralds, with an idiotic expression on his face, dancing with hands and feet.

Ah Jiu picked up a stick casually, walked over, and picked out a string of beads in Zhang Bold's palm like a pig's skin.Zhang Bold, who was in a state of madness, suddenly trembled all over, turned over and jumped up, roaring and rushing towards Ah Jiu.

——It's hard to imagine that his clumsy figure can react as quickly as a savage, but it's a pity that the person he pounced on was Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu didn't make any moves at all, or did something, but Zhang Bold and Li Qiu couldn't catch it with their eyes. In short, Ah Jiu was still standing in place for a second, but the aggressive Zhang Bold fell to the ground. on the hard ground next to it.

"His mother's waist, big brother, you can't be a little bit softer, it's going to kill me."

Ah Jiu chuckled, "It's not good to be able to shout."

Zhang boldly got up cursing, saw his hands suddenly, uttered a strange cry, turned his head and ran behind the pile of gold sand.Ah Jiu didn't chase, but followed the gourd to draw a ladle, using the same method to wake up the other people who were addicted to the dream of treasure one by one, and reminded them to look at their hands.

Everyone's hands were stained with a mass of pitch black, which was probably the product of the oxidation of some kind of metal in those treasures, and it looked very scary.There was a pool behind the pile of gold sand, Zhang Bold ran to wash his hands there, and the others reacted and joined the handwashing brigade one after another.

From the beginning to the end, Li Qiu didn't take a second look at the treasures in the hall, Ah Jiu saw it and slightly appreciated his performance.
