Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Chapter 20 The 2st Victim

As soon as Ah Jiu was mentioned, Li Qiu stopped the car suddenly, because the three people who were walking in front disappeared at some point.The two of them were chased by the zongzi until now, and they didn't see the people in front of them all the way.The fog in the narrow road was getting thicker and the visibility was getting lower and lower. Li Qiu shouted aloud to the front, but there was no response for a long time.

"What's the matter, there is no fork in this narrow road, why are Ah Jiu and the others missing?"

"Damn, your brother won't still be angry with you and deliberately get rid of us?"

"He won't!" Li Qiu immediately denied it, "No matter how angry he is, he won't joke about big things."

"Tsk, that's evil." Zhang boldly took out a small lens from his pocket and put it on his eyes to observe the fog.

Li Qiu thought for a while, and said: "Brother Zhang, I guess it's because we 'thought' there is no fork in the road. Think about it, just a mechanism of the rainstorm pear blossom needle here is enough to kill people, why do we need to add more extravagance to set up a fog?" Obstacles, in my opinion, may be to let those who escaped the trap get lost again."

Zhang boldly put down his glasses, and said dejectedly: "There is no ghost hitting the wall. It seems that the narrow road has indeed changed. It's really going to die."

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and there is not much time left for them. When the fog is thick enough, the organ that fires all needles will be activated again.The two of them were trapped in the narrow passage, and there was no room for dodge at that time.

"Hey boy, do you have the kung fu of your brother?"

Li Qiu wanted to cry but had no tears, "How could there be..."

"Tch, I think so."

Zhang boldly looked around, and immediately made a judgment: "There is no time to find a way out, the two of us don't go anywhere now, quickly find a safe shelter and hide, after this round of needle mechanism, the fog It will be gone, and then we will find the original path!"

Zhang Boldly stretched out his hand to pull him, but it was empty, Li Qiu suddenly covered his neck and shivered heavily.

"Huh? Kid, what's wrong with you?"

"I...I don't know, it's so cold," Li Qiu opened his mouth with difficulty, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, "I suddenly feel so cold."

Zhang boldly stared, "Aren't you sweating profusely, why are you still cold?"

"I, I don't know... It's my neck... It's cold, something is biting my neck..."

Zhang Bold's eyes darkened, and he pulled away Li Qiu's hand covering his neck.I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but Li Qiu's neck is bloodless, so pale that he doesn't look like a living person.There is nothing else on the neck, just white, lifeless pale.

Everything was fine, except that his neck was cold, Zhang boldly frowned, and couldn't help but think of Captain Huang's bruises on his neck when he died.

"What are you talking about about the curse of Town Devil's Pool? Please explain it clearly to me."

At this time, the fog in front had cleared, and the three of them walked out of the narrow path smoothly.

Glasses Chen sat on the ground with his buttocks, and wiped his sweat. Moving forward in the mist is really not an experience worth remembering. If possible, he would never want to experience it again in his life.However, before he could catch his breath, Ah Jiu, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and returned to the narrow road again.

"Hey, Mr. Jiu, why are you going?"

"They didn't come out."

"Ah? Who?"

Ah Jiu ignored him, and walked into the narrow passage sullenly.

The monk with glasses Chen Zhanger couldn't figure it out, he didn't have the strength to keep up with Ah Jiu, so he just sat outside, poked Teacher Wei who was lying on the ground and looked around.

Coming out of the narrow road, not far away is a dark underground pavilion building. The pavilion is not large in scale, but its structure is quite complicated, unlike ordinary residential buildings.

Glasses Chen rubbed his eyes. There seemed to be a person sitting on the front steps of the pavilion. Looking carefully, who was it if it wasn't the missing Ms. Wei?

"Wei, Miss Wei? Are you Miss Wei?"

Hearing the sound, Ms. Wei on the steps moved, but she neither made a sound nor stood up. She still sat there blankly, staring down at the things in her hand.

Glasses Chen glanced at Mr. Wei on the ground, and bravely walked over.

"Miss Wei, we found you. Are you okay? You, your husband is very worried about you."

Ms. Wei shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes were full of unresolved sadness and despair, when Glasses Chen walked over, Ms Wei neither looked up nor got up, she just smiled at herself and said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I Immediately dying."

"Miss Wei, what are you talking about, what is dead?"

Glasses Chen looked at Ms. Wei suspiciously, and quickly saw what she was holding in her hand—it was a needle, the kind of mechanical needle in the foggy narrow passage before.Thinking about it, they chased Ms. Wei all the way here, so Ms. Wei must have experienced a "thousand needles covering her face", and she couldn't avoid being tricked.

"You got pricked by this needle? Don't worry, there is no poison in this needle. Several of us have been hit by this needle, and nothing happened."

"It's not a needle..." Ms. Wei raised her head tremblingly, and the glasses Chen found that there were crystal tears in her eyes.It was a sad expression that a person would only show when he was on the verge of death and completely desperate.

"Miss Wei, you are..."

In the next second, Ms. Wei pulled back her high collar, her glasses Chen yelled "Ah", and her eyes widened subconsciously - only to see that Ms. Wei's fair neck was covered with strange bruises, moreover yellow The hair on the team's body is deeper and heavier, intertwined on the woman's slender neck, shocking.

"You don't understand, my hands are so cold that I can't feel it now." Ms. Wei spread her five fingers, and any silver needles fell to the ground, and crystal tears slid down her beautiful cheeks. "I know very well that I am going to die soon, the temperature is dissipating, and the life is leaving my body bit by bit."

"You... this... yes, that's right! Your husband is here!" Glasses Chen Lian dragged Mr. Wei over, panting, and put it in front of Ms. Wei: "Look, your husband is here! Ms. Wei Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Unexpectedly, Ms. Wei didn't even look at her husband on the ground, and continued to grieve. "There is still a distance from the main tomb, but I can't live until that time. I have already made up my mind to face death this time, but I am not willing to stop here."

Ms. Wei suddenly raised her head, her tear-filled eyes fixed on Glasses Chen.

"I'm different from you. I entered this tomb but couldn't make it to the end. I'm not willing to die, do you understand?"

Glasses Chen was speechless, Ms. Wei wiped away her tears, slowly adjusted her emotions, and regained her calm.Glasses Chen scratched his head, probably not very good at dealing with women, so he was helpless with Ms. Wei.

After a long silence, Ms. Wei took out a fist-sized Jade Avalokitesvara from her bosom.People say that men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha. This thing is big and beautiful. At first glance, it is not an ordinary jewelry pendant, but a treasure that Ms. Wei has carefully treasured.

"If you can make it to the end, please help me put this emerald Guanyin into the coffin of the main tomb and give it to the sleeping owner of the Buddha's tomb. This is my last wish, and I will give it to you here. Can you help me make it happen?"

Glasses Chen's throat twitched. Facing the begging of a dying woman, no man could remain indifferent, let alone him.

Glasses Chen grabbed Ms. Wei, eager to pull her up: "Don't, don't talk nonsense! You go with us! We will find a way out soon. There is a hospital in the scenic spot outside. The doctors must It can cure your symptoms!"

Ms. Wei didn't expect Glasses Chen to react like this, she shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for comforting me...but it's too late, too late, I'm destined to die here, this is the curse given to me by Town Demon Pool , I can't escape."

"The curse is that the dead are alive, don't accept your fate casually! Now even the monks don't believe in ghosts and ghosts, why are you so pious!"

Ms. Wei was amused by him, but she still shook her head.

"Thank you, but this death is a fate that I cannot change."

+ + +

After realizing that the two people behind did not come out, Ah Jiu made a decisive decision to turn back to the narrow road.

With just this twist and turn, the contents of the narrow path have undergone earth-shaking changes: the stone carvings on both sides of the path have all changed, they are no longer hideous ghosts and demons, but Buddha statues with benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, sitting and lying down. The attitude is full of Buddha spirit.

And the fog in the narrow passage disappeared.

According to their speculation, when the fog thickens to a certain level, the mechanism of the rainstorm pear blossom needle will be released in the narrow passage.And after the mechanism is released, there will be such a short period of clarity in the narrow passage.

Now that the fog has disappeared, it means that the trap just broke out here, and neither of the two people, whether it is Li Qiu or Zhang Bold, has the ability to escape the trap.Especially Li Qiu, if his guess is correct, then the organs here can only kill Li Qiu.

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu's left atrium beat strangely and violently.

Ah Jiu quickly ran back and forth in the narrow path twice, from one end to the other, but never saw the two people.There was no entrance, and there was no exit. The two living figures seemed to disappear out of thin air, together with the statues of monsters and ghosts, they disappeared from the narrow passage.

Ah Jiu forced herself to suppress her restless and anxious mind, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.There is no sound in the quiet narrow road, as quiet as the underworld on the other side. A sacred Buddha statue stands quietly on both sides of the road, with lowered eyebrows, like a frozen picture of time and space.

The ancients said that "there is a god three feet above the head", probably this is the scene.

Ah Jiu stared fixedly at the gods and Buddhas, the emotions in his eyes changed. After an unknown period of time, he slowly bent one leg, landed on one knee, and knelt down like this.

Half kneeling on the ground, with a cold and haughty expression, he scraped past the silent Buddha statues one by one with his gaze.

"I'm a person who doesn't even know who I am. I don't believe in God or Buddha. I have no faith, let alone restraint. This kneeling is my offense to the respect of you here, but if you insist on being my enemy -"

Ah Jiu got up slowly, the black air in his eyes surged, and an indescribable evil energy washed over his whole body.

"—I will bear the consequences of hell."

After all, Ah Jiu flung himself away, but after he stepped out of the narrow passage this time, the familiar mist quickly came out from the corner and filled the entire narrow passage again.Ah Jiu stood outside the cave without leaving the cave. When the fog was so thick that he couldn't see his fingers, there was another roaring sound in the narrow passage.

Going in again this time, the narrow path finally returned to its original appearance, and the Buddha statues on both sides disappeared completely, replaced by the prison scene of fierce ghosts and demons.

Ah Jiu didn't run a few steps when heavy footsteps came from ahead, and Zhang boldly walked out of the dense fog with Li Qiu on his back.
