Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

The weather here is always as cold as severe winter, and the short summer is only slightly warmer, but it also passes by in a hurry.

The winter in Medog is like this, long and cold.

A handful of quirky-style homes sit amidst the snow.Under the white snow, you can faintly see a level of bluestone stairs winding up, leading to the silver-white temple on the mountain covered by misty veil.

The snow line gradually disappears a few kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, and there are soil rocks below, but the foot of the mountain is already a yellowing grassland.

The hotel at the foot of the mountain seemed a bit deserted in this season, the counter clerk sat boredly, and occasionally turned his head to look at the perennial snow scene on the distant mountain.

However, not long after, the deserted hotel suddenly became lively.

A lot of people came to the store at once, the leader among them was a middle-aged man in a black cloak, walking with a calm aura, he knew his identity was extraordinary at a glance.Next to him were two slightly younger men, each carrying a suitcase in their hands.

The other people are obviously subordinates, all of them have serious expressions and rude voices.

The leader ordered a few words, and one of his subordinates went to the counter to book a room. His tone was really not friendly. After speaking, the counter lady opened the room for them with some trepidation.

Although it was a bit scary, it was a hard-won business in the store anyway, and those people paid a lot of accommodation fees, so they didn't care about anything.

Those people went up to the second floor without making any noise, and went back to their rooms after ordering dinner.

It was evening in a blink of an eye, and the counter lady was still cheerfully calculating the account that could last for a year.

"Hey, miss, please open... a room."

A somewhat unreasonable voice reached the ears of the counter lady. When she looked up, she saw a young man wearing sunglasses smiling at her, with a backpack on his back.

The lady at the counter was stunned for a moment, then she also laughed. At this time, she saw another person behind the man, wearing a blue down jacket, looking up at the decoration of the hotel, because she was wearing a hat and couldn't see clearly. The man's face.

"Two?" The counter lady realized that the two should be together.

"That's right." Black Glasses nodded.

"A room? For two people?" asked the counter lady.

"Yeah." The black glasses smiled, then whistled, turned to look at the person who was staring at the ceiling in a daze, and said with a smile: "It is clear that I will wait for a few days to rest before leaving, you are fine, the next day Let me pack my things and rush over here without stopping."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling looked at the black glasses, "Time is very tight, I am worried that it will be too late."

The lady at the counter handed the key to the black glasses. Seeing that the two of them seemed easy to get along with, she smiled and said, "Look at the two of you, are you here for a trip? There are very few people here this season, but it's not too late."

Although he knew that the lady at the counter had misunderstood, the black glasses went on to say: "Yes, he never chooses the time when he does things. He will come when there are least people." The tone was a bit joking, and the black glasses turned around and put his hands back Holding the counter, he looked at Zhang Qiling and smiled.

Zhang Qiling walked directly to the second floor.The black glasses pouted and followed.

When the two reached the last step, a few people walked towards them.The one in the front is a middle-aged man, followed by two people, followed by a few people who look like bodyguards.

When passing by, the other party turned his head slightly to look over, Zhang Qiling continued to walk without squinting, but he glanced at the three people from the corner of his eye, and the other party also took a few glances and went downstairs.

Opening the door, the black glasses threw the backpack on the bed and sat down.

Zhang Qiling walked to the window, opened the window and looked down.

Behind the hotel is a straight path paved with bluestone slabs. It is old and looks a bit vicissitudes. It may be cleaned often, and there is only a little snow on it.Farther away is a pasture where several cattle and sheep are grazing in the distance.

"I said, we ran to Tibet without saying a word, how can we explain it?" Black Glasses asked suddenly, looking at Zhang Qiling.

After the auction at the Crescent Hotel, the two came here early the next morning without leaving any news.

Zhang Qiling may think it doesn't matter, but the black glasses are really hard to predict the consequences.

After closing the window, Zhang Qiling sat on the chair by the window, "It's hard to see each other again."

"Although this is the case, let's explain it when we meet in the future. After all, those two people value you so much..." After a pause, the black glasses looked at Zhang Qiling sadly, sighed, and continued: "Zhang Haike and the others I was also left there, and the matter here is not easy to solve, wouldn't it be much easier to call them here? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"One is that time is tight, and the situation may change after a long time. Second, if they are called in, the target is too big and it is easy to scare the enemy. It is better to investigate alone. They also have other things to do." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qiling paused for a moment , and said: "Did you notice those people just now?"

He raised his eyebrows in black glasses, and leaned back slightly, "They don't look like they're just here for a trip...you suspect..."

"In terms of time, from the time when the two people who appeared at the Crescent Hotel got the news, until their organization became aware of this incident, it is not difficult to find out their news with the power of an organization, and then send people here. It just so happens that it’s just a matter of precedence for us.”

Black Glasses nodded, "Let's talk a little bit more clearly, maybe their organization has been monitoring them all the time, and letting them leave is also expected at this point. Why don't you... go down and have a look?"

"En." Zhang Qiling stood up, nodded to the black glasses, and walked out of the room together.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, but they were very quiet and did not speak.

The leader in the black cloak sat at the top, and the table in front of him was full of delicacies.He held a cigar between his fingers, and the two people next to him were whispering something to him with their heads bowed, while the others stood neatly behind.

Black Glasses and Zhang Qiling stood at the corner of the corridor, looking at everything in the hall.

"If he's here to travel, he must have too much money to spend." Seeing the scene below, the black glasses laughed.

Zhang Qiling took a step back and looked at the corridor behind him.

The black glasses said again: "Generally, when a team arrives at a place, there will be another team to meet them, or go to meet another team. They should not make any movement until tomorrow, just pay attention." Saying, The black glasses walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a window.

"Going out here saves a lot of trouble. I'll find all my things and act when I come back." The black glasses opened the window, ready to turn over and jump out.

Zhang Qiling nodded, thought for a while, and said: "You have to be careful."

In the past, no matter when, Zhang Qiling would never specifically tell anyone to be careful, no matter what, at most one glance at you would be considered as encouragement.

At this moment, he suddenly heard him say such a sentence, so the movement of the black glasses flipped over the window paused, and then fell down in a very embarrassing posture.But luckily it's only on the second floor.

Standing up from the ground, he adjusted his black glasses to some crooked sunglasses, secretly regretting his unglamorous actions, but thinking of Zhang Qiling's words "be careful", the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

Patting the snow on the clothes, the black glasses looked around and left quietly.

……

Zhang Qiling leaned against the door and listened to the movement outside with his face turned sideways.

The warm light in the room shrouded his perfect side face, and the shadow of his side face was reflected on the door panel, and the corners of his mouth were straight and cold.

There was no sound outside for a long time.

After listening carefully for a while, finally, there was a burst of light footsteps outside, approaching, then walking, then moving away, and finally disappearing one after another.

Zhang Qiling waited for a while to confirm that all those people had entered the room, and when he was about to open the door, the window behind him suddenly opened, and then a figure fell in.

Zhang Qiling turned around and saw the black glasses put down a small backpack, then sat down and rummaged through it.

"Are you used to guns or knives?" He said while turning his black glasses, and then he took out a black dagger.

The dagger was exquisite and light, and the lines on it were clear and smooth, as if made by nature.At the bottom of the handle, there is a small and detailed unicorn pattern engraved. If you look carefully, you will find that every part of the pattern is meticulous, meticulous and lifelike.

Then the black glasses took out another gun, twirled it twice in his hand, and smiled, "Not bad, not unfamiliar yet."

"You bought it?" Zhang Qiling was indeed a little curious about where these things came from, after all, this is not a black market where you can buy everything.

"No," Black Glasses smiled mysteriously, "I was looking for you here for a while before I went to Changbai Mountain last time. These are what I left at that time. I lived in a small hotel here, a long-term effective room. , I hid these in that room."

Zhang Qiling picked up the dagger and looked at it.

The black glasses approached suddenly, and said with a low smile, "It took me a long time to get this dagger. I was planning to give it to you. I think it suits you very well. Although you already have one."

Zhang Qiling was stunned, looking at the black glasses close at hand, "It's okay, it can be used."

"That's good." The black glasses smiled evilly and moved closer, looking at Zhang Qiling expectantly, although Zhang Qiling couldn't notice the expectant eyes under his sunglasses.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party still didn't respond, or even not paying attention at all, the black glasses said helplessly: "You should give me some response..."

Zhang Qiling put down the dagger, "What?"

He stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Qiling's shoulder, ignored his dazed eyes, kissed him directly with black glasses, and bit the corner of Zhang Qiling's mouth with his teeth as if depressed and revenged.

The black glasses felt helpless, how could this person always let himself lose control so easily.

……

Looking at the silent corridor, Zhang Qiling slowed down and walked towards the windowsill on the other side without making any movement.The black glasses walked face to face with Zhang Qiling, and then stopped outside another door.

The black glasses nodded to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling took a step back and was about to leave when the door next to the black glasses opened suddenly. When the person inside saw Zhang Qiling on the opposite side, he immediately shouted. The black glasses quickly approached, and then grabbed the man's neck, making him unable to get out immediately. There was a sound, and the black glasses raised his hand to strike, and the man passed out with a muffled grunt.

Seeing that the other party had already dealt with it, Zhang Qiling stood on the window sill of the corridor, grasped the edge of the eaves with both hands, cleverly used his feet to turn backwards, and jumped onto the roof nimbly and nimbly.Then walked silently on the edge of the roof.

When he reached a window, Zhang Qiling stopped, then squatted down halfway, and leaned forward, approaching the window frame.

There was the sound of two people talking in the room.

"Put away the things, they will arrive here at noon tomorrow, and I will hand them over when they pick up."

"Yes. Will everyone arrange to act together tomorrow?"

"No, I'm not so desperate to work for the organization and get what I need."

"Then who do you arrange, boss?"

"Don't worry, there are my people inside, I will know their actions clearly, and no one can rely on them for their benefits."

"That would be the best. The subordinate will leave."

"Wait, pay close attention to those two people during the day. During this special period, suspicious people who appear here should not be taken lightly."

"Yes!"
