Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Sometimes one step is wrong, and then the whole destiny is changed.

Having lost his identity, he never turned back, so he completely abandoned Shang Yanyu's past and became the current Li Qiu.In the past eight years, he has suffered countless times of fear, guilt, resentment, and grief, and woke up in nightmares countless nights. After all, he is not a cold-blooded and decisive person like Shang Wei. A retaliatory counterattack is enough to exhaust the blood and hesitation of his life .

Fortunately, he met a group of very good people, these people replaced his increasingly blurred father and elder brother, and made up for the regret that should be called family affection, so that in the next few years, he could live with Li Qiu's life. Identity survives.

However, Shang Yanyu's nightmare continued to torment him until...

"Until I met you, Ah Jiu."

Ah Jiu's pupils trembled. Although he didn't speak, he jumped with bright emotions, expressing his master's excitement.

"I told you, Ah Jiu, you changed my life because you..."

At this moment, a rush of heavy footsteps came from the corridor, from far to near, and they came to their door in an instant.

Before Li Qiu could respond, Ah Jiu on the bed turned into an afterimage in an instant, and appeared at the door. The moment the door was opened, he punched out with a fist mixed with the wind!

It wasn't that Li Qiu reacted slowly, but that all of this happened too fast and too suddenly. The scream came a second later, and Li Qiu pulled Ah Jiu back in shock, looking at the stain he had torn off because of the action just now. Bloody needles, gasping in distress.

"Ajiu, what are you doing, come back quickly, go back to bed!"

Unexpectedly, Ah Jiu was disobedient this time, and her hairs stood on end towards the door, showing hostility, like a provocative red-eyed beast.

"Ajiu!"

At this time, an elegant and gentle male voice came from outside the door: "Don't blame him, he is protecting you."

This voice... "Shang Feijie!?"

"Well, it's me, but if I take a step closer now, I will suffer the same fate as my bodyguard, so can you calm down Tong Jiu first?"

"I, I try hard..."

"Actually, I suggest that you might as well go back to the bed and see how he reacts."

Li Qiu bit the bullet and did as he said, and after searching for a while in the ward, finally came the voice of "Please come in".

Shang Feijie walked in, and nothing seemed to have happened in the room, except that Li Qiu was sitting there in an awkward posture on the hospital bed, and Ah Jiu had one arm across Li Qiu's waist, in a naive and childish manner. A strong posture firmly protects people.

Shang Feijie showed a meaningful expression.

Li Qiu raised his hand in embarrassment: "Eh, please sit down wherever you want."

He had heard people report that Tong Jiu couldn't leave Li Qiu even for a moment after he woke up, and seeing it today, he was really amazed.Shang Feijie suppressed his smile, consciously found a chair and sat down, deliberately staying away from the hospital bed.

"I made you laugh, he was not like this before, I don't know why this time..."

"I can understand it very well. Afterwards, Tong Mei told me what kind of illusion he gave Tong Jiu."

Hearing this, Li Qiu's eyes changed: "Where is Tong Mei now? Ah Jiu was injured like this by the pupil technique, he must hand over the solution."

"It's useless," Shang Feijie said indifferently: "That kid is used to getting into trouble, and he ran away without a trace as soon as he came out of Shang's house, and I asked him, and he said he didn't know how to deal with the sequelae of pupil surgery, so ……give up."

Li Qiu bit his lips unwillingly, really annoyed and anxious, and felt worthless for what Ah Jiu had suffered.

These days, he told Ah Jiu about the past, he let go of the past a lot, and unconsciously let go of his hostility towards the Shang family.But think about it, it hasn't been long since the Mid-Autumn Festival kidnapping, the relationship between him and Shang Feijie shouldn't be so harmonious.

"Last time, thank you, Young Master Shang."

Shang Feijie was very interested: "Oh? Thank me for something."

"Identity, you knew the identity of my organization early on, but you didn't expose it. If Shang Wei knew, he would not let me go so easily."

"He is him, I am me, the two heads of the family, there will be more or less reservations between each other." Talking about his father, Shang Feijie is very calm, as if he is describing a stranger who has never met before.

"The reason why he made a mistake, in my opinion, is that he underestimated your significance to Tong Jiu. Let Tong Mo use you as an illusion, and the ghost eye went berserk as a result. My father should bear full responsibility for this accident."

Hearing the word "accident", Li Qiu pondered for a long time, but still asked the question in his heart: "Shangzhai...what happened afterwards..."

It's not that he is so kind and caring about those people's life and death, it's just that the scenes in the black mist that night were too terrifying. The human bodies lying all over the ground and the breathless ghost fog are truly hell on earth.

"The people in the mansion, are they still alive?"

"I'm glad to hear that you still care about their life and death, but unfortunately, although they are alive, they are no different from death, and even more painful than death."

"What do you mean?"

Shang Feijie looked past Li Qiu and looked at Ah Jiu behind: "Those black mist came from Tong Jiu's out-of-control ghost eyes. It is rumored that in Tong's family, the previous patriarchs would inherit a pair of ghost eyes when they succeeded. The ghost eyes of the earth."

Li Qiu didn't know much about the secrets of the Tong family, but he still listened carefully.

"These black mist are not smoke or gas that can be explained by science, but the only thing that is certain is that all people contaminated by the black mist will become 'walking corpses' after dawn. You should guess it when you hear the name , they can no longer be called 'people'."

Shang Feijie took out his mobile phone, clicked on a small video, and played it in front of them.

The video shows a closed ward, somewhat like an intensive care unit in a hospital, but it is divided into several separate rooms, and in each room stands a person wearing a hospital gown.

Soon, a vague command came out in the video, the first compartment and the second compartment opened, and the people inside walked out staggeringly.Li Qiu held his breath subconsciously, because the faces of the two patients were ashen, the whites of their eyes spread out, and purple-black blood vessels spread all over their bodies.Their walking posture is even more strange. Not only do their knees not bend, but they are twisted deformedly, dragging and dropping on the flat ground.

"This is...the walking corpse?"

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? Fortunately, they are neither aggressive nor eat. They just keep walking unconsciously like this, but it is not a long-term solution after all." Shang Feijie closed the phone and said seriously: "This is why I am looking for you today. Among the people who became walking corpses, apart from many close relatives of the Shang family, there is also my father, Shang Wei."

Li Qiu's heart tightened, he didn't expect that even Shang Wei could not escape the clutches of the black mist, but what about Shang Feijie?How did he narrowly escape from the black mist that night?

Shang Feijie naturally knew what he was going to ask: "I was the first to discover Tong Jiu's abnormal eyes, so I ran into the collection room immediately. There are many treasures to ward off evil spirits in the Shang family's collection room. Count my luck." Well, I survived. Except for me, only Tong Mo escaped together, and no one else was rescued."

When mentioning Tong Mei, Shang Feijie deliberately glanced at Tong Jiu, but the latter didn't respond to the name, and still protected Li Qiu in his arms without blinking.

Li Qiu quickly heard Shang Feijie's implication, not a short time has passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival, if Shang Feijie wanted to save someone, he should have found him long ago, instead of waiting until now .

During this period of time, Shang Wei and his staff were unable to come forward to take charge. The overall situation of the Shang family was controlled by Shang Feijie alone, and the scope of action was too large.Changing dynasties, attracting people's hearts, and annexing forces... Today, Shang Feijie can appear in front of him in the name of the Shang family, I am afraid that some things have already been settled.

"Master Shang wants to save them?"

"Yes, in terms of emotion and reason, public and private, I can't let dozens of Shang family's lives be ignored."

Li Qiu paused, and said, "Then what do you think we stand for?"

To put it bluntly, this innocent disaster brought about by ghost eyes is the disaster caused by the Shang family's desire to capture Ah Jiu.Ah Jiu was the victim, and it was enough not to ask them for money, so how could he be obliged to bear any responsibility for them, the gang of murderers.

"Of course Tong Jiu doesn't exist, but...you are different."

Li Qiu was startled, and was facing Shang Feijie's eyes full of deep meaning.

"Can you just watch dozens of members of the Shang family die because of Tong Jiu? Li, Qiu, sir, sir."

Ah Jiu has been holding Li Qiu tightly, so he can clearly feel every subtle emotional change in Li Qiu. After Shang Feijie finished speaking, Ah Jiu glared suddenly, and his whole body exuded a frightening look. murderous look.

In the next second, Li Qiu put his hand on Ah Jiu, "What he said is not wrong, Ah Jiu, this is indeed a problem that I cannot avoid."

It is undeniable that he did not want Ah Jiu to bear so many lives inexplicably, not to mention that many of those people were his elders when he was young, and a biological father who was related to him by blood.

Shang Feijie took a fancy to this point, so he raised such a question confidently.

But the problem is Ah Jiu... Li Qiu looked down at the firm arm that had been embracing him from beginning to end. If he agreed to help the Shang family, then Ah Jiu would definitely not stay out of the matter, and it might be another unpredictable danger.What's more, Ah Jiu is sick in bed now, his strength is greatly reduced, and he can't do without someone to take care of him all day, so how can he take risks.

"Master Shang, I hope this is not coercion."

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. Whether you refuse or not, I will do my best to deal with those people's funeral affairs."

"In that case, let's make an agreement in three chapters."

"How to say?"

Li Qiu took a deep breath: "I promise to help you save the Shang family. As a deal, you have to promise me three conditions after this matter is completed. First, the organization and the Shang family have no grievances and grievances, and there is no longer any relationship; second First, the transaction between Ah Jiu and the Shang family has been settled, so don't make any more plans for him in the future; third, block the news about Ah Jiu, and don't let more people know that he is still alive."

Shang Feijie hooked the corner of his mouth: "You are really... a lion with a big mouth."

"Could it be that in the eyes of Young Master Shang, Shang Wei's life is not worth these small conditions?"

"Heh, don't lie to me. You and I are people who know the basics. I know exactly what you are planning. The grievances between the Shang family and the organization, to put it bluntly, are a longevity screen and a life. Now you have sent the longevity screen back. Yes, even though the inside is empty, as for Shang Yanyu's life... I have no choice but my father's nod."

"For Shang Wei, the life of a mere son is not as important as longevity. What do you think, Young Master Shang?"

Shang Feijie took a deep look at Li Qiu, and sighed for a long time: "Yes, the longevity screen is so important."

There was a brief silence in the ward.

Shang Feijie sorted out his emotions, and quickly said: "There is also Tong Jiu, we don't have to pursue Tong Jiu's matter this time, but I'm afraid that his resurrection from the dead cannot be hidden, and we must give everyone an explanation. Otherwise Even if the Shang family let you off, there will still be others coming to your door."

Li Qiu frowned slightly, "Why did you insist that Tong Jiu is dead?"

"You don't know?" Shang Feijie raised his eyebrows, "Well, I didn't expect that Tong Jiu didn't tell you - before the Inverted Team set off, we secretly planted a microchip on everyone's body , used to monitor the signs of life of the team members in real time. Therefore, we have a clear picture of every downsizing that happened in Diannan Douzhong, and every mechanism we encountered.”

Shang Feijie seemed to be quite afraid of the explosion that wiped out the entire army, and his tone could not help but sink: "Tong Jiu is very powerful. He has been walking at the front of the team to fight thunder, but he survived safely until the big explosion. The longevity screen is in the deepest part of the tomb, and the living can't escape at all. In an instant, all signs of life in the entire team disappeared, including Tong Jiu."

Hearing this, Tong Jiu's eyes changed, and it was also the first time that he looked at the young master of the Shang family in front of him for the first time since the conversation progressed.
