Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

"Tong Jiu..."

"Hello... Tong Jiu..."

Li Qiu curled up in Tong Jiu's embrace, shouting the other's name hoarsely, over and over again, unable to respond.

However, he was seriously injured, and he fell into a dizzy loss of strength before he yelled twice, and fell into a deep coma.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the gunpowder smoke in the darkness gradually calmed down and settled down in the dead space. When Li Qiu woke up again in a daze, the oppressive and deep darkness was still above his head, and his body was still the same person that had already been cold. people.

Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze stiffly, half a meter away from him lay half a deformed human head, it was a member of the Shang family team, his whole body was blown away, only The remaining half of the twisted head was half melted by the high temperature, and the other half rolled in front of him, revealing the mutilated and mutilated facial features.

Not far from the human head was a severed foot, with rubber boots on the outside of the foot, as if it had been torn off abruptly by the impact, and the rest of the body had melted into a bloody paste, sticking to the cave wall.

Li Qiu's pupils collapsed and shattered inch by inch from dazed to constricted, from trembling to fearful.

Death, death, death... as far as the eye can see, there are all the cruelest and most terrifying deaths.These fragments of broken limbs scattered all over the world not far or near. At the moment of death, they were ruthlessly obliterated before they even had time to put away their posture, and their lives were annihilated without dignity.

Dead, everyone is dead, the tunnel after the explosion is full of ugly corpses, it is a hopeless purgatory on earth.

Li Qiu's throat twitched, he gasped for a few breaths, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

The life that they strive for to live long, but in the end what they are waiting for is the ending of Shura Hell. Without the merciful favor of gods and Buddhas, and without the hope of long life, what belongs to them is only eternal and equal death.

Li Qiu retracted his head into Tong Jiu's shoulder, and the stinging tears rolled down. He didn't know why he was crying, and he didn't know who he was crying for, but he just followed his instinct to vent hopelessly and presumptuously.In this desperate, helpless grave of death, the only thing he can do is to sob and cry heart-piercingly.

"why why……"

"Why did you save me..."

In this sweeping grand death, those who wanted to die did not die, but those who did not deserve to die lost their lives forever.

Li Qiu was trapped in Tong Jiu's arms that he never let go of until his death, tears streaming down his cheeks, moistening the cheeks of that person who no longer smiled.

Of course Tong Jiu would not respond to him, never again.

Obviously there are still so many questions that have not been explained, and there are still so many estrangements that have not been resolved, and he and him are suddenly separated by fate, and heaven and man are separated forever.What are they?The fate of two sides, tit for tat, I'm afraid they are not even counted as friends, enemies, or strangers?

But no matter what kind, it can't constitute a reason for Tangtang Tong's family head to risk his life to save him, he can't think of it, and he can't guess it.

Li Qiu's crying eyes were blurred, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, holding Tong Jiu's drooping head, as if meeting this person for the first time, wiped his dazed face over and over again.The high temperature and impact destroyed the human skin mask on Tong Jiu's face, and wiped away the thin layer of black varnish. Li Qiu finally saw the most real appearance of this man under the mask for the first time.

It is also the appearance of death.

"no no……"

"Don't die...don't die..."

Li Qiu suddenly shook his head as if obsessed, hugged Tong Jiu's face in panic, and then struggled with all his might in the next moment, breaking away from this icy embrace that was sacrificing his life for his life.

"You can't die...you can't die...the longevity screen...there is the longevity screen..."

Li Qiu struggled to pull out of his embrace, crawled, and moved towards the source of the explosion—the direction they came from.

"You can't die... I'm the one to die... You shouldn't die for me..."

"Don't die... I beg you don't die..."

With tears in his eyes, Li Qiu dug deeply into the ground with his bruised fingers, dragging his body with difficulty in the severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow.

When the explosion happened, Tong Jiu put his arms around him and hid in a secret corner area, only then was he saved from the tragedy of being dismembered by the explosion.Once you leave this angle, the outside is hell.

His subordinates are the sparse internal organs of the victims, and at his feet are severed limbs and heads of unknown provenance, blood stains, fat, and pieces of meat, which together piece together a path leading to the unknown.

Before climbing two steps, Li Qiu couldn't stand it any longer and retched, his liver and gallbladder split apart until he vomited bile, but he didn't care about his tears and continued.Without feeling in his feet, he used to crawl, and without feeling in his body, he used to drag. With all his faith, he crawled out a blood-red way out of the wreckage.

After rummaging through countless corpses and scraping through countless ruins, his bruised fingers finally touched a hard and familiar box from a corner.That's right, this is the "highest secret" hidden in the longevity screen that he couldn't take out because he was concerned about Tong Jiu.

Touching the box, Li Qiu's life, like a candle in the wind, seemed to have a turning point, twisted on his face, crying and laughing, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment, held it in his mouth, and then returned inch by inch. .

During that period, he didn't have any concept of time, nor did he have a very clear memory. He only had an idea that was so strong that it was almost crazy, clamoring in his mind: go back, bring this only hope, and return to Tong Jiu's side.

During this period, he passed out several times, but miraculously struggled back from the brink of death, dragged his dying life, and found Tong Jiu's body again.

Li Qiu held the mechanism box tremblingly, carefully opening it according to his childhood memory.Inside the box, there is only a piece of crystal-clear, as thin as a cicada's wing ore wafer, which was carved into a delicate fan shape, and the stream of light swirled darkly.

Li Qiu tried his best to suppress the dizziness before his eyes, and tremblingly took out a flat paper bag from his close-fitting pocket. The paper bag fell to the ground, and what was inside fell out—it was the exact same wafer fan hidden in that box. However, this piece faces the opposite direction, and the two just form a pair of opposite fans.

The yang side of the longevity screen that was stolen from the Shang family seven years ago and kept by him personally, and the yin side of the longevity screen that was buried in the southern Yunnan bucket and was not destroyed by the explosion, so far, the yin and yang are united and completely intersected.

As soon as the two Crystal Fan Mansions appeared, they immediately attracted each other, echoed each other, and blurred light emerged from the whole body.

Li Qiu didn't know how to use this thing, trembling and flustered, he folded the two leaves together, put them into Tong Jiu's mouth, and then crawled to the side with no strength, trying to stay away as much as possible.

The shimmering light illuminates the nether world, and the yin and yang are blended and combined like living creatures, and finally melted away and disappeared in Tong Jiu's body.

After the explosion, the Shang family secretly blocked the [-]-kilometer surrounding mountain roads, but in the mountains, there was still a strange jeep that broke through the checkpoint and hid secretly in the dense forest.

I don't know how many times the Luoyang shovel was stabbed down to the ground, the master sat down on the ground discouraged, and wanted to touch the cigarettes in his pocket, but he only found a long-dried cigarette pouch.

"Hold!"

A few meters away, Hao Qionghai also put down his detection tool, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and poured himself a pot of ice water.

"Don't worry, the range of this mountain is too big, the Shang family will not be able to find us for a while, we still have time."

"It's been four days!" The master kicked the stone anxiously, his teeth chattering excitedly: "It's been four days, there must have been a big collapse in the ground when the explosion happened, do you think the princess can survive under the ruins even if she didn't die In four days?"

Hao Qionghai remained silent, with eyebrows furrowed together seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Keep looking."

"Such a big mountain, let alone four days, even four months may not be able to touch it! The princess can't wait at all!" The master was furious, but his hands kept moving. He put on his gloves and started working again.

"Speaking of which, where did Big Brother go to find him? Why haven't I seen him all day?"

"He came back last night, took some soil bombs, and went out again without stopping for 2 minutes."

"He's going to blow up the mountain?" The master stared, "Even if the Shang family doesn't find out, there will be a second landslide underground. How can the princess survive? Is he confused!"

"Brother has never been a fool. Even if he is worried about the safety of the princess, he will never take risks at this juncture. I believe he must have his reasons."

Just as he was talking, the communicator on the car rang, and Hao Qionghai hurried to pick it up, and it really was the elder brother.

"I found a clue to Ali! Look at my location, come here quickly!"

When Hao Qionghai and the master heard this, they started the car without saying a word.

The eldest brother is located five kilometers away from the entrance of Diannan Dou, in the lee of a hill. When the master and the others arrived, the eldest brother had already marked several positions and was waiting for them to help.

"Brother, you are really playing." The master spat out the cigarette butt that was bitten dry in his mouth, and frowned: "This place is far away from Dou, can we really find the princess?"

The eldest brother rubbed his bloodshot eyes, pointed to the east, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ali's signal was sent from there last time. To estimate the focal depth and impact range, this section should be used as the radius, one kilometer before and after. scope."

"The north and south are rocks. I tried, but there is no tunnel underneath, so there are only two directions left."

"Success, since it's decided, let's not delay any longer, let's do it quickly."

The three of them didn't waste any time, silently fighting, handing over jobs, digging and digging, detonating and detonating, without thinking or asking, with only one goal in mind, which is to save people, and race against time to save people!

Finally, after the seventh detonation, Hao Qionghai used a Luoyang shovel to discover a passageway buried deep in the ground, but most of the passageway had collapsed, and the area near the tomb bucket was so bombed that its outline could not be discerned.

The three of them did not give up, and continued digging along the direction of the corridor, and soon found the second and third passages, and also found some damaged equipment and remains one after another.

None of the three people stopped, digging deeper and deeper, and finally found a precarious tunnel more than one meter high near the rock.As soon as the tunnel opened, foul air mixed with blood and high temperature rushed in, and the lips of the three of them were covered with a thick layer of stickiness.

The eldest brother touched his lips, and his expression became more and more serious. This is fat that has been burned by high temperature. In this way, the inside of this tunnel is completely...

As soon as the elder brother's eyelids hurt, he buried his head and wanted to rush in, but he was grabbed by Hao Qionghai and the master at the same time.

"Calm down! You will die if you go in like this. If there is an explosion in such a confined space..."

"Let me go! Ali must be inside!"

"Brother, calm down!"

While pushing and shoving, the master suddenly stopped his movements and shouted to them both: "Stop! Stop! Listen carefully! Is there any movement inside!" He took out two outdoor flashlights and shined them into the tunnel.

The eldest brother stopped panting heavily, staring at the deep darkness with eyes that were tearing open.

I don't know how long it took, the halo in the tunnel swayed slightly, at first it looked like dust floating in the air, then it became more and more obvious, and a huge black figure with blurred outline appeared.The three couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed into the tunnel scrambling to be the first. When they came to them, they couldn't believe their eyes.

These are two bloody and almost invisible people, with disheveled hair and blood stains, one carrying the other, moving with difficulty and staggeringly in the tunnel.

The eldest brother's throat tightened, and he opened his mouth in a daze: "...A Li?"

The blood man took another step, stopped, and stared at them with dark but dull eyes.

"Ali is that you!"

Without waiting for the other party's answer, the elder brother rushed over, and the master and Hao Qionghai helped to lift the man on his back, allowing the elder brother to catch the teetering Li Qiu.

"Ali...Ali..." The elder brother trembled his arms, looking at his younger brother who was completely intact, he didn't know where to touch him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic Li Qiu finally recognized the person in front of him and wanted to make a sound, but he could only make a series of hoarse grunts.

"Ali is fine, big brother is here, big brother will take you out now!"

"Look, brother, the princess seems to be talking!"

"Princess, what do you want to say?"

"Ari!?"

"..."

"save him……"

"what?"

"Who? Save whom?" The master repeated, and quickly looked at the strange man who was carried by them and carried by Li Qiu all the way. "Who is this guy?"

In this dark underground tunnel, the dying Li Qiu tried his best to bring out the person, the person who refused to give up until his death, who is it?

"Save... him..." After repeating this sentence, Li Qiu passed out completely.

"Ari!"

"Princess!"

Outside the bucket in southern Yunnan, the sky will break dawn.
