Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Entering the eyes, it is the absolute darkness that is extremely impenetrable.

The light of the flashlight was swallowed up by the black mist as soon as it entered the door. In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can't see the road under your feet.Li Qiu squatted down carefully, touched the hard floor under his feet, then settled down, and continued to walk forward.

Without light or instructions, he followed the outline in his memory and groped to the hall on the first floor.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright. The clear moonlight illuminates the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows slightly, and also illuminates the original appearance of the Shangzhai hall shrouded in black mist.

Li Qiu's breathing stopped for a moment, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. What unfolded in front of his eyes was a purgatory on earth.

The dim hall was dead silent, and countless figures fell to the ground, buried under the floating black mist, like dead corpses.Those people were either facing the sky on their backs, or hanging upside down on the stairs. They were all dead and motionless. The hall that was resplendent not long ago has now become a terrifying morgue.

Li Qiu tried to take a step forward, but stepped on a soft arm when he didn't want to, so scared that he quickly backed away, staring at the bodyguard who didn't know if he was alive or not, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Why is this happening and what exactly is going on here?Ah Jiu... Where is Ah Jiu!

Li Qiu opened his eyes wide and looked around, and quickly found the source of the black mist—the corner of the pillars in the hall, where the darkness condensed the thickest, it was like a ball of black ink that had not melted.Li Qiu swallowed his throat, and walked over cautiously.

"Ajiu, are you there, Ajiu?"

No answer.

Li Qiu yelled a few times, but he still couldn't hear a response, so he simply stretched out his hand and went in.Probably because of the obsidian earrings, as soon as he approached, the black mist faded a bit, and he moved away from the surrounding as if he was jealous of him.

His fingers quickly touched a piece of warmth belonging to the human body, and Li Qiu pulled out the things in the black mist with all his strength.The black mist burst open, and the next second, the unconscious Ah Jiu fell into Li Qiu's arms.

Li Qiu was overjoyed, hugging his lost lover and weeping with joy: "Ah Jiu! That's great, that's great, you're fine, you...Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu?" The joy was fleeting, Li Qiu quickly calmed down and realized that The abnormality of the person in his arms.

"You, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Ah Jiu, wake up!" Li Qiu anxiously called Ah Jiu's name, but Ah Jiu fell into a coma, her usual strong self-restraint disappeared completely, and her head was weakly crooked On one side, the breath was weak.

Li Qiu panicked, and immediately wanted to take Ah Jiu away, only to find that Ah Jiu's hands and feet were tied with heavy shackles, and the other end of the shackles was tied to a pillar, which could not be broken easily.

"The key... where is the key?" Li Qiu had no choice but to put down Ah Jiu, and hurriedly fumbled around the clothes of several bodyguards, hoping to find the key to the shackles.It was only after he touched that he realized that the bodies of these "corpses" were warm. Although they were very angry, they were not dead, they were just in a deep coma like Ah Jiu.

Just when Li Qiu was looking for the key in a hurry, behind him, a "corpse" stood up shaking. Li Qiu was lowering his head when he suddenly heard a gust of wind behind his head, and then a cold arm strangled his neck, and he Press back.Li Qiu was so strangled that it was hard to breathe, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and instinctively used the "Three Moves to Save His Life", shrunk back and escaped from the opponent's shackles.

Turning around, Li Qiu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the one who strangled his neck just now was a living dead man who crawled up from the ground. The man's arms were hanging on his chest, his back was slightly bent, his expression was dull, and he seemed to be alive. A zombie with a human face.But after seeing the man's appearance clearly, Li Qiu was really horrified - Shang Wei!The guy who attacked him from behind was actually Shang Wei, the head of the Shang family.

Shang Wei seemed to still have a bit of consciousness left, the corners of his mouth twitched one after another, he could still recognize the people in the organization, and let out a hateful roar.After the strangulation was broken free, Shang Wei was only stunned for a few seconds, and then rushed towards Li Qiu again.

Li Qiu was afraid that it would affect Ah Jiu, so he had to roll over to the side, leading Shang Wei to the side.After a while, a few more "corpses" staggered up from the ground, hunched like Shang Wei, with their arms hanging down.

Li Qiu gritted his teeth, pulled out a bodyguard's pistol, and ran to the French window: "I'm here! Don't you dare come over!" The "zombies" all over the hall turned to him at the same time, and approached him unhurriedly.

Li Qiu saw the timing, and when they came over, he rolled back to Ah Jiu's side. At the same time, there was a sniper sound, the floor-to-ceiling windows were cracked and shattered, and the night's air-conditioning and moonlight rushed in.

On the building diagonally opposite Shangzhai, the elder brother stepped on the wall with one hand and held a gun in the other. His muscular and handsome figure was depicted by the streamer in the night.

Another shot passed, and the crystal chandelier on the top of the hall broke and fell with a bang, crushing several zombies chasing Li Qiu.Li Qiu broke Ah Jiu's shackles with a gun, carried him on his back, and ran out of the window one by one.

Before he could run out of the house, a thick noose fell from the sky.Li Qiu grasped the rope with one hand, and looped Ah Jiu with the other, and pulled the other end of the rope firmly, leading the two of them to fly steadily onto the roof of a truck.The master had been waiting for them on the roof, put away the rope, and rushed down to whistle.

Hao Qionghai, who was driving, was ordered to make a beautiful drift and drove past the opposite villa.The elder brother took the opportunity to jump off the stairs and join them on the roof of the car.Hao Qionghai looked at the time, and switched on the walkie-talkie: "Boy, are you done with your work, we should leave soon."

"Waiting for you all the time, I've already done it here." Hao Yang wiped off the last trace of fingerprints in the monitoring room, removed the jamming device in the drone, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he took his things and left quietly.

Li Qiu glanced back from a distance, the Shangzhai shrouded in black mist became smaller and smaller, and soon completely disappeared from sight.

The truck carried the organization and a group of people running happily, and the operation went smoothly, which made everyone feel a little happy.Hao Qionghai became emotional and wanted to listen to high songs, but was strongly rejected by the co-pilot's son, so he reluctantly played some old-fashioned love songs.

After a while, the master on the roof poked his head down: "Old bird, change lanes, let's go find Xiaojiao first."

Hao Qionghai's face became serious: "What, you were injured?"

"It's not us, it's Tong Jiu. I've already contacted Xiaojiao. When I got to the hospital, I went straight to the emergency department."

Hao Qionghai nodded, didn't ask any more questions, turned the car around at the next intersection, and ran at full speed.

On the roof of the car, Li Qiu and his eldest brother surrounded Ah Jiu from left to right, checking Ah Jiu's situation.Ah Jiu is different from those people in the Shang Zhai, just in a deep coma, no matter how shaken he can't wake up, Li Qiu put the obsidian earrings back on Ah Jiu, but it still has no effect.

"Big brother, big brother...how is Ah Jiu?"

The eldest brother let go of Ah Jiu's pulse, and pondered for a while: "I only know that he is very weak now, and other things are hard to judge. The Tong family has too many secrets, and their mouths are strict. This is the first time I have seen this kind of situation. Never heard of it."

The elder brother patted Li Qiu on the shoulder, and said to his anxious younger brother with red eye circles: "But don't worry, he has survived such a terrible explosion in the Diannan Dou, there is no reason why he can't survive here, I see that he has no external injuries , it should just be a mental problem."

"Spiritual?" Li Qiu repeated in embarrassment, caressing Ah Jiu's haggard outline with distress.Although I don't know what happened on the rooftop in the end, Ah Jiu will become what he is now, and he will definitely have no relationship with the Shang family.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been caught by the Shang family, Ah Jiu wouldn't have thrown herself into the trap tonight..."

"Don't blame yourself, at least you came back safely, and he didn't waste his trip tonight."

The eldest brother let out a sigh of relief and asked Li Qiu to hide behind him and wipe his eyes. When they finally arrived at Taihe Hospital, it would be dawn.Surrounded by high-rise buildings, the skyline reveals a hint of white belly. This turbulent Mid-Autumn Festival has finally passed.

However, thinking of the scenes of the walking dead in the mansion, everyone knew that the incident this time was probably far from over.

+ + +

Three days later, a piece of inconspicuous news appeared in the corners of major newspapers in Beijing:...A few days ago, a collective food poisoning incident occurred in the XX community. A total of more than forty people felt unwell and were sent to the hospital for treatment.After preliminary investigation by the police, the patients were all poisoned by a small amount of nitrite, and further information about the incident is still under investigation..."

When the master saw this newspaper, he laughed wildly in the street.

"Food poisoning? Thank you for making up such an embarrassing excuse, what the hell is food poisoning, is your Shang family a professional family poisoning hahaha..."

The kid who sold the newspapers looked puzzled, but after the weird man laughed enough, he proudly bought five copies of the newspapers, and happily took them away.In the next few days, the news was successfully conveyed to every member of the organization, including Li Qiu who was temporarily staying at Taihe Hospital.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital that night, Ah Jiu was pushed into the emergency room, and the elder brother and the others took turns to accompany Li Qiu outside the door.Feng Tianjiao and the experts did a physical examination on Ah Jiu, and finally concluded that it was the sequelae caused by the pupil surgery, that is, the mental damage caused by long-term hallucinations to the brain.Although the patient got rid of the illusion, he couldn't completely get rid of the mental imprisonment, resulting in a coma until now.

Taihe Hospital keeps Ah Jiu's complete medical records, so there is no need to transfer her to the intensive care unit, where she will be taken care of by special personnel 24 hours a day.Li Qiu is not a doctor, so he can only wait outside until Ah Jiu's condition stabilizes.Feng Tianjiao, on the other hand, has the most convenient access these days, and has to run to Ah Jiu's hospital bed several times a day.

Feng Tianjiao doesn't think she is in love with Ah Jiu, but it is undeniable that during the short trip to Inner Mongolia, this man left a deep and colorful trace in her life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is unique, and perhaps stumbling for a lifetime.

I'm afraid she will never meet such a man again in her whole life, who makes her angry and annoyed, but makes her unstoppably worried.Because of this, Feng Tianjiao took care of Ah Jiu more and more frequently, and finally even the eldest brother couldn't help frowning.

Not long after being admitted to the hospital, Ah Jiu developed a high fever and talked nonsense all night long.The hospital had to make frequent ward rounds for him and check his temperature every hour. Feng Tianjiao volunteered to take on the job when she learned about it, and lived in the ward directly, taking care of him personally.

That night, Feng Tianjiao was dozing off for a while, when she suddenly heard someone talking.Feng Tianjiao was taken aback, she rubbed her eyes and looked around, only to find that it was a patient who was burnt out and talking in her sleep.

Feng Tianjiao was angry and funny, put a new ice pack on Ah Jiu, and sat down in front of the bed.Due to the high temperature and nightmares in the past few days, Ah Jiu's lips were white and dry, and he lost a lot of weight. Feng Tianjiao poured him a glass of water in distress, and leaned over to listen to what he was saying.

Ten minutes later, Feng Tianjiao rushed out of the ward with her head down.

The people in the corridor heard the noise, woke up from their light sleep, and caught up with Feng Tianjiao a few steps: "Sister Jiao, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Tianjiao looked back, it turned out to be Li Qiu.Li Qiu has been staying in the hospital for the past few days, because he cannot enter the nursing room, so he simply guards in the corridor all night and all night.The weather is already very cold now, and there is no heating in the corridor, Li Qiu was wearing an obviously ill-fitting cotton coat, and asked her with his bloodshot eyes wide open.

"Sister Jiao, why did you come out? Is there something wrong with Ah Jiu?"

Feng Tianjiao stared fixedly at Li Qiu, feeling suffocated and bored, thinking that the people in the ward were yelling nonsense about Li Qiu's name, Feng Tianjiao's sour grievances were multiplied and there was nowhere to vent.

Li Qiu was about to ask again, but Feng Tianjiao turned around, gritted his teeth and pushed him into the ward.

"I'm going home, you go and take care of him, his high fever doesn't go away, and there must always be someone around him."

"Miss Jiao?"

"Go princess, go quickly."

Feng Tianjiao waved at him, and ran away without looking back.
