Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Li Qiu spent 10 minutes telling the master the ins and outs of the person "Ye Yan".Because he was afraid that Ah Jiu would become suspicious, he seldom contacted other people in the organization after being with Ah Jiu. Now, when the master first heard about this bizarre mission to find people, his head was full of black question marks.

"You mean, that kid who was terminally ill and ran away from home to the grassland without money for medical treatment is now in the Shang family's fighting team?!"

Li Qiu nodded earnestly, "I've confirmed repeatedly just now, it's almost the same, that person is exactly the same as Ye Yan in the photo."

"This is too bizarre. Did he cross over? This is not a story at all. Wait, wait, if you want to say that, could that kid be a tomb robber from the beginning? Is it our colleague? "

Li Qiu shook his head. With Ge Tianyou's familiarity with Ye Yan, if Ye Yan really had some hidden identity like him, he would never be able to hide from Ge Tianyou's secret investigation.So it was probably just a coincidence that Ye Yan, an ordinary person, appeared in this tomb.

Soon, Li Qiu found that in each photo, Ye Yan's hands were clasped together unnaturally and folded in front of him. Although he was sitting near the fire, he was still some distance away from the other two people who let the wind blow. .

The master glanced at it and said: "This kid's hands are tied with ropes, he must have been coerced."

Li Qiu frowned: "But what is the reason? Where did the Shang family catch Ye Yan, and why did they arrest him?"

He can imagine Ye Yan traveling alone on this grassland with no worries, and he can also imagine that Ye Yan meets the Shang family's fighting team by chance during the journey and communicates with each other.But these are not enough to constitute a reasonable reason—the reason for the Shang family to take a strange ordinary person deep into the tomb.

"Master, do you have any memory of when Ye Yan joined this team?"

"I don't know," the master shrugged. "I only saw a few people in the team when I was dressed as Hai Ganzi. They were very vigilant and told me to stay in the car most of the time. If they were really on the way I don't know if an outsider was caught."

"Then why..."

The master was silent for a while, and tentatively said: "Based on what you know about the Shang family, will they 'fish for corpses' when they fight?"

Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, his complexion turned gloomy, and his delicate brows were full of disgust, resistance and coldness.

Fishing for corpses is an extremely low-level hunting method in ancient times. When many tomb robbers go down to the tomb, they often throw some living things into the tomb as bait in order to crack unknown mechanisms or overly powerful corpse changes. , Judging the dangerous situation under the bucket by looking at the life and death of living things.The living animals used here are usually small chickens, cattle and sheep, but in harsh conditions, they may also be living people.

Of course, this kind of behavior that seriously violated the law of human relations was once banned by the strictest, especially the famous big families like Shang, Chen, and Wei.

But in the current situation, apart from the "live bait", Li Qiu and the master really couldn't find another reason to explain why Ye Yan appeared in this deep underground tomb and in the Shang family's fighting team.

"Maybe I guessed wrong," the master comforted, "We've come all the way, and we haven't seen a coffin yet. Maybe the Shang family didn't catch him as a bait."

"No matter what the reason is, I won't let them succeed." Li Qiu squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his usual soft brows and eyes exuded a sharp cold light, this kind of sharpness like a sword out of its sheath made the master Frequently wrong eyes.

Li Qiu is a man of action. He immediately took out a pen and paper and began to draw circles. This is his habit. Whenever he has to make a complicated plan or analysis, he will use the pen and paper to list all the developments and possibilities and think about them one by one.

Now Ye Yan's appearance has disrupted all their original plans, since this is the case, they can only overthrow and start over.This time, they not only wanted to grab food from the mouths of the Shang family, but also rescued Ye Yan.

The master turned the flashlight a little brighter to make it easier for Li Qiu to write and read clearly, while he checked the sneak photos again, trying to find more clues about the large army from them.

Just looking at it, the master faintly noticed that there was something wrong with it. After thinking for a while, he messed up the order of the photos, called out the four weirdest ones, and put them together in order.

After this comparison, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the master's forehead.

"Princess, I seem to have discovered something very serious."

"what's up."

The master sent the photos to Li Qiu. These four photos were all candid shots focusing on the fire. In the front were three people exercising the wind, and in the back were the pits where the large troops rested, and the pitted rock walls around the pits.

"Look, what is this." The master pointed to a rock wall close to retail investors. That rock wall was covered with many inconspicuous gray spots, which looked like chunks of lime powder scratched on a construction site.The hole was drilled in the mountain, and it was in that distant ancient dynasty. Almost every meter of the mountain wall has rough traces left by this kind of artificial excavation, so it is not surprising.

But the master would not remind him of this for no reason, Li Qiu didn't speak, and continued to read.

In the four photos, the same rock wall was taken by coincidence. Li Qiu carefully compared and found that there were two gray spots on that rock wall that were different from the other spots, and each was as big as a washbasin.

There are many gray spots on the rock wall, and they are all very abstract, with no specific shape at all. Unless they take photos and compare them carefully like they did, otherwise you may not be able to see the abnormality even if you keep staring at them.

"Did you see something?" The master was very serious.

Li Qiu followed the order of the photos, looked at them one by one, and said in surprise: "These two gray spots...are getting bigger."

The master nodded solemnly.It's not an illusion, the two largest gray spots are continuing to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they are mixed in the gray spots all over the wall, so no one will notice immediately.

"Princess, what do you think?"

Li Qiu clutched the photo silently, "Either this rock is moving, or there is something inside the rock, and the possibility of traps cannot be ruled out. Either way, it means that the place where the troops are resting tonight is not safe , and if it continues to spread at this rate, I'm afraid something will happen before dawn."

"Look carefully again, do you think what these two gray spots look like?"

"Like..." Li Qiu frowned, and suddenly realized in the next moment: "Like eyes, the eyes of creatures! Wait a minute, if the two gray spots are the eyes, with such a wide distance, what kind of eyes are there? Wide spacing?"

"Monster, I'm afraid there is a huge monster hidden in this mountain wall, but it can move in the rocks, I suspect that this thing is not a living thing at all." The master grinned, "Nine out of ten, it is this monster. It is the fresh-keeping big meat dumpling that is abundant in Coffin Mountain.”

Li Qiu thought for a while and said, "This is a good opportunity."

"Huh? You want to take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the Shang family's army?"

"Not only do we have to sneak in, but we also have to get Ye Yan out—to put it simply, it's a steal."

The master scratched his head, "Ye Yan's appearance here was completely accidental. If we rescued him, we would have to overthrow the goal of this mission. At that time, we would be too passive. For a stranger, there is no need Let’s do this, anyway, he’s going to die anyway.”

Unexpectedly, Li Qiu smiled wryly and shook his head: "We must save him, and we must save him as soon as possible."

"reason?"

"I have investigated, and with the manpower and influence Ge Tianyou arranged this time, it may take them a day or two to find Ye Yan. If Ge Tianyou's search team meets these tomb robbers, everything will be out of control. Yes. The biggest problem - we are likely to face Ah Jiu head-on by then, and Ah Jiu who has lost his memory will also be exposed under the eyes of the Shang family."

The master gritted his teeth in pain: "If I had known it, it would be better to just pull him into the organization as I said, wouldn't everything be fine? If Tong Jiu joined us, there would be no need for us to hide and hide. Dou can walk sideways."

"Aren't we walking sideways in the same way now?" Li Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly lowered his eyes apologetically, and slightly clenched his palms: "The accident half a year ago, Ah Jiu... it happened in the tomb. Brother also mentioned it , I hope I can persuade Ah Jiu to join the team. I understand what you mean, but only this time, I don't want to drag him into the quagmire again. If he regains his memory in the future and wants to continue his previous business, that is his own choice , but when he knows nothing, I don't want to use him...to put him in danger again."

"You know you can't count on a married princess—" the master sighed sadly, "Forget it, for the sake of saving your life at the time, just pretend I didn't mention it, and just pay him back. But let me tell you, you have nothing to feel guilty about him. Even though he saved you in the fight, you still saved him after you got out of the fight. It's a matter of equalizing each other. Don't keep putting yourself down so low , What a loss."

Li Qiu just laughed shyly, the emotion in his eyes had settled heavily, and he didn't answer.

"Come on, tell me about your new plan, and what shall we do next."

"To be on the safe side, we not only need to take Ye Yan out of the main force, but also speed up the progress of the Shang family to prevent Ge Tianyou's team from meeting these tomb robbers to the greatest extent. The purpose of the Shang family is to lure us, so they probably We will choose a suitable time to throw out the bait, which is the treasure of this tomb, and when the time comes, the two of us will act according to the plan."

Afterwards, Li Qiu described several possible situations in detail, and after the master wrote it down, he solemnly handed something to the master.

The master laughed when he saw it, it was a thin ghost mask, pale and cold, it was very permeable when it was worn on the face. "I didn't expect you to even bring this thing with you. It's really nostalgic. I haven't touched it for seven years. This is the killer weapon against the Shang family."

"You take this thing, wait for my signal when the time comes, and play by ear."

"no problem."

The master put away the mask, and was about to say something more, when there was a commotion and voices from the bug.

On the other side of the bug——there was an untimely quarrel among the large army of the Shang family.
