Chapter 262 A bald head is not a good person【Please recommend! 】

Bang!

The iron door was pried open by Lu Qi with an ice pick, revealing the astonishing scene inside.

A pile of animal offal, hanging animal meat, a blood-stained wooden table...

It seems that this should be a place similar to a slaughterhouse.

However, with the foreshadowing just now, the two were not too surprised.

Laura, with her companion by her side, made full use of the "death" passive skills of each protagonist in the game, and walked towards the bright place on the left.

There, there was an extremely simple sacrificial altar. The human skull and red candles were enshrined, and what was enshrined was a pair of female graffiti painted on the wall. Around the female, there were a few suns painted as usual.

"The woman, the sun... are almost the same as the enshrined image I saw when I was in the cave. If that terrible guy is with the owner of this slaughterhouse, that is to say, this island has with some common belief?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a ripple in his heart.

Just from the graffiti on the wall, Laura almost guessed the common beliefs of this island.

This made Lu Qi sigh in his heart: He really deserves to be a rising star in the archaeological world, an expert in the discovery and destruction of ruins in the future!

Looking at Laura who was concentrating on checking the image, Lu Qi rolled his eyes, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he echoed:

"Women, the sun, sounds familiar..."

Pretending to lower his head and think for a while, Lu Qi organized his words in his heart, and then guided seemingly casually:

"By the way! Isn't Samantha always talking about Himiko's story? I remember she said that Himiko, who ruled the entire Yamatai, is known as the Queen of the Sun!"

"The sun, women... Is there some kind of connection between these two?"

As Lu Qi expected, his words made Laura's eyes light up when she was thinking deeply!

"You mean, this small island is the place we're looking for, a part of the legendary "Lost Kingdom" Yamatai?!"

Lu Qi, who had already achieved his goal, accepted it as soon as he saw it. He just shrugged and spread his hands and said:

"I don't know, I don't know much about Yamatai."

Laura would never have thought that the companion in front of her would have known the identity of this small island for a long time...

Nodding thoughtfully, Laura looked up at the graffiti on the wall again, and said:

"This is a very interesting idea. However, relying on graffiti alone, we cannot confirm the accuracy of this idea. We need more evidence or intelligence..."

"Okay, great archaeologist, let us leave this stinking place first, and then look for evidence..."

. . .

After prying open the last iron door blocking the way, another section of waterway flooded to the waist, and the two finally reached the exit of the underground bunker.

Lu Qi was still in front, and Laura was behind. The two climbed up the rusty ladder to the ground.

As soon as he walked out of the underground bunker, Lu Qi was very keen to notice the wisps of light smoke floating in the air not far ahead.

Coupled with the voices of male and female conversations, even without Hawkeye, Lu Qi can still get an obvious message:

Someone is ahead!

After exchanging glances with Laura, the two slowed down in a tacit understanding and approached quietly following the sound.

"We're in the southwest, they'll have to follow the road, maybe some hills..."

"We have a fire, you should find a place where there is smoke..."

The closer she got to the sound source, the more Laura felt that the female voice was very similar to her best friend Samantha's voice.

And Lu Qi also confirmed through Hawkeye that there are two targets ahead, one is a companion glowing blue, and the other is an enemy glowing red!

"Lu Qi?! Did you find it..."

Before the words fell, Laura came out from behind Lu Qi with a look of surprise on her face:

"Samantha!"

"Laura!"

When the two girls only had eyes for each other, Lu Qi's eyes stayed on the bald man beside the campfire.

It was a middle-aged man who was leaning on crutches and wearing an old suit jacket, with an unkind face.

It is worth noting that the pendant of the chest necklace, with the decoration of the sun, is very similar to the image of the sun described by Laura.

"Samantha, this is..."

After being reminded by Lu Qi, Samantha, who was sitting on the rock, finally came to her senses and introduced:

"Oh, it's okay, he's one of his own..."

As soon as the words fell, the bald man leaned on a cane, stood up, and said to Lu Qi and Laura:

"Sorry to scare you guys, this place is getting crazy. We just spoke to your crew and they're coming over..."

"Look at..."

Pointing to the bandage on her right ankle, Samantha said with a simple face, "He bandaged it for me."

"I can only do my best..."

While speaking, the bald man leaned on a cane, limped towards Lu Qi, and said:

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Matthias, I am a teacher..."

After that, he smiled slightly at Lu Qi, and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with Lu Qi.

Seeing the deliberately false smile on the opponent's face, Lu Qi raised the corner of his mouth, as if mocking the opponent's performance.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering a shipwreck and coming to a certain mysterious island, Lu Qi’s first reaction when suddenly encountering such a bald man with a cane and claiming to be a teacher is definitely to be alert and vigilant, not like Samantha. , Believe in each other carelessly.

In Lu Qi's impression, those with bald heads are not good people.What's more, he also passed the game of Tomb Raider 9!

As early as the moment the other party appeared, Lu Qi recognized the identity of this bald man, and he was the boss character "Leader Solari" Matthias throughout the entire Tomb Raider 9 game!

Although the details of the plot are somewhat vague, Lu Qi still has some understanding of the villains in the game.

Matthias was originally one of the refugees who landed on the island in the 80s. In order to leave the island, he and his companions built a boat and tried to go to sea.

However, the results were brutal.

Under the tyrannical storm surrounding the island, the plan to go to sea failed, and the companions died one after another.

Aware of some mysterious power hidden in the storm, Matthias began to travel the whole island, and finally discovered the secrets of the island and the history of Himiko, the Queen of the Sun.

I also learned that if you want to leave the island, you must find a suitable sacrificial candidate to release Himiko who was sealed in a decayed body.

As for Solari, they were actually refugees who landed on the island one after another.Among the refugees, those who disobeyed were killed, and those who obeyed became Solari, Matthias' subordinates.

It can be said that the biggest enemies of Lu Qi and other survivors on this island are the bald man in front of him and his subordinates...

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help reaching out to hold Matthias' hand, exerting a little force, and showing a very bright smile:

"Hello, Matthias..."

Chapter 263 Sun Queen Himiko

Although he knew that Matthias was the villain boss, Lu Qi did not immediately kill the guy who might cause trouble in front of him, but cooperated with the opponent and acted.

It is very easy to kill Matthias, a throwing knife is enough.But how to explain it to Laura and Samantha was the real problem.

Lu Qi couldn't say that he knew that the bald head was a bad guy, and he planned to sacrifice Samantha to Himiko, Queen of the Sun, right?

It can be killed, but not now...

Matthias didn't know that he had already walked around the gate of hell.

I just feel brooding about the strength of Lu Qi's handshake.

There's something about this kid...

"You must be exhausted, sit down and rest!"

After being greeted by Samantha, Lu Qi and Laura just sat down by the campfire when they heard Matthias say:

"Samantha just told me the story of the Sun Queen..."

"Yeah, Himiko."

"Can you tell me more about it? I'm very interested."

Faced with the audience's request, Samantha, who has spoken many times, still happily agreed.

"Believe it or not, thousands of years ago, Queen Himiko ruled almost all of Neon..."

"She likes to tell this story best..."

"Himiko is a mysterious and peerless beauty, but at the same time she is cruel and ruthless, and does whatever she wants. It is rumored that she can shaman..."

"About that, I don't understand."

Regarding Laura's opinion, Matthias, who was sitting aside, had a different opinion:

"Well, legends always have some basis..."

This sentence is exactly the same as one of the words Laura said on the Endurance when she was trying to persuade others to go to the Dragon Triangle to find Yamatai!

Apparently Laura was aware of this too.

Looking at the sparks dancing and dancing in the bonfire, she couldn't help pursing her lips, her eyes were blurred, and she fell into the memories.

Not noticing Laura's distraction, Samantha's Tales program continues:

"She has an army of samurai under her command, the mighty storm warriors. They can ride the wind and kill all enemies. They say Himiko can control the sun, and all the sun shines is her territory. From the high mountains to the deep sea, all over the ends of the earth..."

"It is said that Himiko will never marry for life. Whenever she gets old, she will choose ordinary girls and enter the palace to receive education. These girls are priestesses..."

"The next queen will be chosen from among these priestesses..."

Don't listen to the rumors that are spread so mysteriously, thinking that such stories are not true and are just legends fabricated by later generations.

Lu Qi and Matthias who were present knew very well that at least 70.00% of the story told by Samantha was true!

Himiko is indeed the first queen of the ancient Yamatai Kingdom. She has powerful magic power and can control storms and waves. She is called the "Queen of the Sun".

And the heir to the Yamatai Queen of each generation was indeed selected from among the priestesses.

The priestess will choose an heir through a fire ceremony.

The ceremony was very cruel. First, a group of priestesses were tied to a pillar in turn, and then burned with fire.If the woman is not the heir chosen by the queen, she will be burned to death; if she is the heir appointed by the queen, the queen will raise a strong wind to blow out the flames.

The selected heir to the queen will be brought to the enthronement secret room by the leader of the Storm Warriors, General Storm, for a coronation ceremony.

There, the old Himiko will cast a spell to inject his soul into the body of the heir.

After the ceremony, the body of the original queen will die immediately, and the soul will be reborn in the body of the new queen.

As for the original soul of the new queen, it was driven out of the body and dissipated into infinity ever since.

It can be seen that the coronation ceremony is the process of Himiko's soul constantly replacing with a new body.

And all the queens of Yamatai, from the beginning to the end, there is only one, and that is Himiko!

These secrets are all learned by Lu Qi from the game!

While playing the game, Lu Qi discovered that this coronation ceremony was very similar to the "snatching house" in the fairy tales he knew, it was a kind of soul taking another person's body to achieve a new life.

So, it's relatively impressive...

Himiko has been using this evil magic to continue his own life, until hundreds of years ago, a priestess discovered the secret of the queen's coronation and inheritance, and found that in the queen's body was a woman who had lived for more than a long time. Evil, twisted evil spirit.

In order to rest her soul in peace, and to prevent evil spirits from continuing to rule Yamatai, this brave priestess secretly hid a dagger, and then stabbed Himiko who was infusing her soul during the coronation ceremony!

At the same time, she raised a knife and killed herself.

Thus, the priestess destroys the queen's existing body and also destroys her own body, making it impossible for the queen to use it.

The soul of Himiko, who cannot perform the ritual, can only stay in the original body, gradually rot and die, and become a "half-dead" body.

Himiko, who failed to be crowned, was extremely angry. Although he could no longer govern the country, he still possessed powerful magic power.

She began to cast spells around Yamatai Island, setting off storms and waves, destroying any aircraft and ships that dared to approach!

This is the fundamental reason why Matthias is here and why Endurance was shipwrecked...

In fact, the goals of Matthias, Endurance and others are the same, they all took out this small island and returned to Ming society.
