Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Ah Jiu fell to the ground with his head in his arms, cold sweat running down his forehead, Li Qiu was startled, and instinctively wanted to rush over to help him, but he stopped abruptly just before touching Ah Jiu.

Li Qiu stared at the people on the ground complicatedly, and finally withdrew his hand sadly, backed up, backed up again, then turned around and disappeared into the vast street.

Ah Jiu's head was hot and swollen, and his headache seemed to explode at any time. At the same time, some fragmentary light and video clips were gradually pieced together in his mind to form a rapidly rotating picture, blooming in front of his eyes like fireworks.

The dark tunnel, the retreating figure, the silent cry.

Where is this, who is this person...why are you crying in front of him!

Ah Jiu beat his head desperately, the dim picture was like an old TV lens, after a long period of stress, it finally gradually became clear.

The dark tunnel, the backward figure.

The man looked at him like he was looking at a terrifying flood beast, with tears rolling in his wide-open eyes, he shook his head in a dazed and timid way, and stepped back step by step.

Ah Jiu subconsciously grasped the position of the heart, this person...the person in front of him...is Li Qiu!

The brain pain reached its peak at this moment, and Ah Jiu couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. At the same time, this lost memory finally returned to her mind completely, pasting it on the wall of the deep memory.

In the dark tomb, in the long and narrow passageway, he and Li Qiu stood face to face, not as if they were having a conversation, but as if they were confronting each other.

In the silent picture, his mouth opened and closed, as if talking arrogantly.But what he said caused Li Qiu to tremble uncontrollably, as if he couldn't stop backing away in fear.

As he spoke, Li Qiu retreated, his beautiful eyes filled with helpless tears, and gradually retreated into the corridor behind him.

Everything was like a video tape with the sound turned off. Ah Jiu could only feel that she was talking constantly, but she didn't know what she said and why it caused Li Qiu to react like this.From now on, he has never seen such a desperate, sad, confused and helpless Li Qiu.

Ah Jiu wanted to keep his mouth shut, but what had happened couldn't be transferred according to his will. In the closed memory, he just pointed out without any scruples, cruelly driving Li Qiu into the abyss of despair.

No, stop it, stop it!

Ant-like palpitations crawled up his heart densely, Ah Jiu's cold sweat soaked his clothes in the blink of an eye, he was using almost every cell in his body to stop—quickly shut up, don't say any more.He watched Li Qiu burst into tears because of fear, those tears were so hot that they almost burned his heart and lungs.

Finally, Li Qiu yelled in pain, turned around and rushed into the corridor behind him to escape.

Ah Jiu instinctively wanted to chase after him—of course he did. In that memory, he first stretched out his hand as if awakened, and then plunged into the corridor, chasing after Li Qiu in the dark.

Behind him, flames burst out suddenly, and explosions followed.

The memory stopped abruptly here, and the light and shadow faded layer by layer. Ah Jiu wanted to chase down again, but the pictures in front of him were all shattered and turned into nothingness like a cloud of smoke.

After a while, the real and powerful heartbeat hit the eardrums, the hot wind floated around, and the dry smell of cement floor came from the nose.

This is his world, not the dark and hopeless grave of his memories.

Ah Jiu opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he didn't know when half of his body was lying on the ground, his face was covered with sweat.A lot of spectators gathered around, pointing at him, but no one dared to come over.

Ah Jiu blinked, and his eyes became clear immediately. Although the pain in his head disappeared, the memory that had just recovered was still clearly imprinted in his mind—that important memory that had happened but was forgotten by him.

It turned out that he and Li Qiu had known each other for a long time, and they had fought in the tomb together, and had a moderate confrontation.During the confrontation, he said something irreversible, which made Li Qiu flee from his side in fear.

By the way, Li Qiu!

Ah Jiu woke up immediately, and saw pedestrians passing by and heavy traffic all around, where was Li Qiu's shadow?

A bold passer-by came over and tentatively asked: "Hey brother, are you okay? You, you were lying on the ground just now, do you want to call 120 for you?"

"Where's Li Qiu!?" Ah Jiu grabbed the person in front of him like a life-saving straw, and the latter almost sat down on the ground in shock, "The person who was with me before, the person next to me, where did he go! ?”

"I, I don't know... I just saw you lying on the ground and yelling, and didn't notice if there was anyone else beside you..."

Ah Jiu let go of him resentfully, and quickly searched the crowd with his eyes, but even with his ghostly eyes, he couldn't find half of Li Qiu.

Li Qiu just disappeared.

As night falls, the busyness of the day fades away after the sun sets, and the gorgeous lights envelope the whole city, presenting another noisy scene that is completely different from the daytime.

In a long alley deep in a certain commercial street, there are six or seven private bars, large and small, with styles ranging from Western to Chinese, and prices ranging from high-end to ordinary.

These bars are open from dark to dawn every day, and there is an endless stream of customers, but there is only one exception-a private bar named "Yatbeard" located in the innermost part of the long alley and with the worst business.

Listen, this vulgar and nondescript signboard name, how can the fashionable young people bear it, no wonder no one is willing to come to the door.

Tonight, the business of the Mate Beard Bar was still as deserted as ever. In the huge bar, there was only a couple whispering in the corner, and a drunk young customer lying on the bar counter. The rest had no business.

After a while, the only staff member in the bar, the owner of the store - a middle-aged man with a goatee came out from the backstage.This man has narrow shoulders and waist, tall and thin, standing there like a stick.The most peculiar thing is that on his chin there is a handful of extremely beautiful goatee, which adds a bit of cultural demeanor to him out of thin air.

The "Goatbeard" bar and the owner of the Goatbeard are indescribably weird and indescribably fit together.

The goatee wiped his wine glass, hummed Hong Kong and Taiwan hits that had long been out of fashion, and wandered leisurely to the bar.He placed an empty glass in front of his drunken guest and flicked it with his fingers.

"I said princess, when will you change your habit of running to me when you are broken in love, and use alcohol to drown your sorrows like others in TV dramas? Be careful that the elder brother finds out and takes you back to the small black room."

The people lying on the bar didn't lift their heads, they pushed the empty wine bottle at hand, and said hoarsely, "Don't worry... give me another drink..." The familiar voice was none other than Li, who left without saying goodbye at noon. Autumn.

The goatee whistled, took the empty glass and began to mix wine, rambling involuntarily.

"I still remember the first time you broke up in love, it was also in broad daylight, and a person ran to my place to drink, from morning to night, no matter how much you drank, you couldn't get drunk, and you just kept asking me 'what should I do? '. The elder brother was going crazy calling you, everyone was looking for you all over the world, and finally I couldn't help it, so I poured you a cup of Long Island iced tea, and you went to bed honestly."

Li Qiu hummed with his nose: "Don't pour me today."

The goatee clapped his hands, and said with a sneer: "Is it okay to drink blueberry tea?"

"Neither."

"Hey, I said that you are trying to drink up my little wine on purpose? Why don't you just try to get drunk and get drunk? Wouldn't it be better if I got you drunk?"

"Not good," Li Qiu muttered, and rolled out a few red banknotes, "Let me drink, anyway, I don't need your money."

Goatee raised his eyebrows, quickly accepted the money, and stuffed a glass of ordinary cocktail into Li Qiu's hand.

"You, you, you said that this is not the first time you have been in love. How can you still be tossing around like you are dying? If you talk a little more, it's okay?"

Li Qiu blinked his wet eyes, and murmured: "There is nothing else, no matter how many times I fall in love, the person can only be him..."

"Tsk, I know you are dedicated, so let's talk, what's going on this time, you and that Tong Jiu have a good time together."

After a while, Li Qiu said in a low voice: "It's not good at all."

The goatee sneered: "Who will believe it, the two of you are on fire when you walk down the Longmen Grottoes, don't pretend that I don't know."

"It's not good, he...he's different from others..."

"Oh, single nobleman, it's very difficult to deal with? I really can't imagine anyone in this world that you can't handle. Besides, didn't he like you very much before? He liked you so much that he killed you. You are his dream. Lover, at least show some confidence."

Li Qiu let out a sob that seemed to be crying and laughing: "But now he has lost his memory..."

Goatee sighed helplessly, freed his hand, and comforted Li Qiu's furry head.

"Even if you have amnesia, if you want to say that this person has completely subverted his personality and preferences, I don't agree. Since he liked you before, he will definitely not be too repulsive to you now, and he still likes you."

"I thought so too at first, but...but later I found out that it was different. He changed a lot after losing his memory. No, maybe he was like this before, but I never really understood him before." Li Qiu finally looked up. In the early days, the red eye circles did not know whether he was drunk or crying: "Master, if something happens to me one day, you must not go to him..."

The master's eyes turned cold for a moment: "I will kill him first before that!"

Li Qiu blinked his blurred eyes, and smiled idiotically: "I still have to support you, so I'm not willing to die so easily."

"Hmph, then show some guts. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but he's the only man with two legs? If you really want to find someone, just say something, and I'll guarantee you a hundred people." group."

Li Qiu smiled gratefully, grabbed the wine glass and poured it slowly.

It was very quiet in the bar, only the two of them had a simple conversation.Time passed by every minute and every second, when the young couple in the corner finally left contentedly, Li Qiu was the only one left in the huge store.

Until this time, the master took out an A4 paper full of things and pushed it in front of Li Qiu.

"The newest goods will be available in the past two weeks, and they will be on the grassland over Hulun Buir. Take a look and see how we arrange them."

Li Qiu looked blankly for a while, then raised his eyes in doubt: "What is it this time?"

The master smiled mysteriously: "Longevity screen."
