Chapter 304. 305.【Rise of the Tomb Raider】Anna and the Safe

『【(( 1~
Nan Xiao thought for a while, and felt that it was too early to reveal Anna's identity.The Holy Trinity is still valuable, especially when it is in your own hands.

The two walked through the hall and walked back along the corridor.When passing a certain corner, Nan Xiao stopped for a while, deliberately blocking the light projected on the window.

From this angle, Anna must have been able to see the change in the lights on the corridor, unless she was blind.

She wasn't blind at all, so she reacted quickly.

When Nan Xiao and Laura returned to the door of the study, there was no one there.

The two entered the room and found that the long window on the north side was opened.The thief must have escaped through the window.Laura went to the window and looked, but saw nothing.It was dark outside the window, and everything was hidden in the light mist.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor.The two looked at each other and quickly hid by the door.

The doorknob was turned, and someone pushed the door in. Laura picked up a cloisonné vase with copper filigree and prepared to weld it to the man's head.

A blond woman wearing a valuable gray coat opened the door.

"Anna?" Laura held up the cloisonné vase and froze in place.

Anna also acted surprised, and said in a low voice, "Laura?! It's me!"

Laura looked apologetic: "Anna! Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Why are you here?"

Anna said, "I saw the gossip about your expedition to Yamatai. As before, the tabloids made fun of you again. I thought, you just had a difficult adventure and you might need company." She handed Laura a newspaper with the headline "Another Crawford Crazy" on the front page and the subhead "A Daughter Just Like Her Father?"

Laura didn't even bother to read the tabloid, and snorted, "Nonsense. Is anyone following you?"

Anna: "Stalking? Of course not. What's going on?"

Laura: "Someone just sneaked into the study and tried to steal something. I don't know what he was trying to steal, but it must be up to no good."

At this time, Nan Xiao interjected: "This should be what he wants to steal."

Both women looked at him, and he turned sideways to show them the pry-ridden safe.

Laura was very angry: "Ah, he actually tried to break into my father's safe!"

Fortunately, it was a very strong safe, not so easy to pry.The man who did it was quite scrupulous, afraid of making too much noise, so he didn't dare to use too much force.

What exactly is in the safe?Laura struggled and said, "Dad must have left a clue about the password somewhere..."

"Are you talking about this?" Nan Xiao took off a small note from the wall behind the safe: "This should be your father's handwriting."

Laura took it and read it softly: "I beg you, don't forget the password, you old fool... Laura's adventure treasure, my favorite Amelia painting, our wedding anniversary... this , This should be some kind of reminder? But I couldn't guess what he meant...Dad wrote it for himself, he must know..."

Nan Xiao said: "Actually, I'm pretty good at breaking safes. This kind of thing designed during World War II, I can break it open with just a hairpin."

Anna glanced at Nan Xiao warily: "Who are you? Are you Laura's friend?"

"I am—" Nan Xiao was interrupted just as he wanted to introduce himself.

Laura patted her head: "Sorry, I should introduce you to each other. Nan Xiao, she is Anna, I mentioned to you, my father's secretary." She turned to Anna, "His name is Nan Xiao, he is The expedition team on the Endurance. This time we were able to return safely from the Yamatai ruins, thanks to his rescue."

Anna stretched out her hand and shook Nan Xiao: "Hello."

This woman is terminally ill and will die soon.

From the close observation just now, Nan Xiao has this judgment.He was even more convinced when he shook hands just now.Although she concealed it well on the surface, she didn't look bad at all.But it was all covered with powder.When she took off her make-up and looked in the mirror alone at night, facing her haggard dark circles, she must have been very panicked and depressed, knowing that her time was numbered.

She looked at Nan Xiao cautiously, with deep hostility hidden in her eyes.In her subconscious mind, she must think that Laura is a treasure that only belongs to her, and Nan Xiao is the one who came to snatch it.

However, it is unwise to show hostility at this time. With her IQ and skills in dealing with people, of course she would not do so.She thought about it, said goodbye to Laura, and said, "It seems that you don't need my company tonight."

Laura's cheeks were slightly flushed, but she acquiesced to Anna's statement.

Anna laughed and whispered something in Laura's ear.Laura, blushing even to her ears, pushed Anna out the door.

Hehe, you treat your stepmother as a best friend, and she treats you as a plastic sister.

Anna turned and left, nodding to Nan Xiao friendly on the surface.

Nan Xiao also bowed slightly to her in a polite manner and secretly told Mao Yuyu to follow her and stare.

After Anna left, he continued the topic just now: "How, do I need to pry open this safe? It won't damage the locking mechanism inside, just need a hairpin and a screwdriver, and it will take about 3 minutes. .”

Laura couldn't believe it: "This is handmade by German craftsmen—"

Nan Xiao fumbled for the hairpin and screwdriver as if conjuring, and began to pry the safe.This is a traditional art. In the radiation shelter, he used to pry countless lockers in order to find something to eat.How about handmade by German craftsmen, can it be stronger than locker locks 200 years later?
In less than 2 minutes, the safe was pried open.

Inside was an audio tape.Put it into the player and listen to Earl Richard's voice:
"Life is like a relentless river. All things are fleeting. We grow old, decay, and die, but what do we leave behind? A pile of bones? Or dust? What about the soul? After the body returns to dust , will it still survive? I believe it will. There is a truth at the heart of many myths and stories. It is not scientific truth, but something deeper. Something that will solve the mystery of immortality. I may have found the next clue. However, I am not the only one looking. They are following me and watching my every move. Now I know they are the "Holy Trinity", a plot to control the future of mankind An ancient and very murderous sect. For the sake of the family I love most, I must act cautiously. If anything happens to Laura and Anna, I will never, never forgive myself..."
