Tomb Raiders: Ghosts

Chapter 20 Discrimination

"Chirp..."

What a frightening thing it was to hear soft and childish cries suddenly in the dark and silent tomb passage. All the people resting in the tomb passage were awakened, and the guards quickly drew out their weapons.

It’s just that the thing only uttered a soft cry, and then fell silent. Si’er took the wolf-eyed flashlight and shone it on the right side of the tomb. The flashlight shone in the past, and he let out an exclamation of "ha", a swift shadow flew past his face, and then, flapping its gorgeous wings, it stopped between them, it was the one who tore apart the zongzi in the tomb. A colorful phoenix butterfly.

Now the zongzi is gone, but the phoenix-tailed butterfly is chasing up, and it is self-evident that the torn one will take over, so the risk factor of the little butterfly is more dangerous than the zongzi.

Fengzi silently stretched his hand behind his waist, and slowly pulled out the pistol hanging on the armed belt. Suddenly, the knife was pulled out a slit, and the phoenix-tailed butterfly with its wings fluttered and flew to the ground. In front of Fengzi, the butterfly wings spread wide, and the originally brilliant colors quickly converged, turning into crimson glaring eyes. Everyone was startled, Fengzi shrank his pupils, and let go of the handle of the knife.

The crimson angry eyes on the butterfly's wings faded away like boned ribs, and then returned to its original brilliance. This time, no one dared to move. , and flew towards Chen Xiaogou, who was lying on the side with blood on his body.

Everyone here knows that the tomb butterfly is very demonic and can suck blood. The anchovy butterfly is obviously going to eat, but now who cares about the half-dead dog Chen, they are all ready to wait for the butterfly to eat. escape.

Who knows that the phoenix-tailed butterfly flapped its wings above Chen Puppy, gliding around it beautifully, showing no interest in him, and flew directly to the knife and the single bell lying on the ground.

Xiaodao is very alert, and opened his eyes when everyone woke up, but the numbness on his body has not faded at all, except for his eyes, he can't even move a finger, and now he is watching the phoenix-tailed butterfly fly over , the hairs on his back were blown up.

While Xiaodao was extremely nervous, the phoenix-tailed butterfly flew over his head without even shaking him, and then circled around the single bell with its eyes closed, fluctuating up and down, as if it wanted to fall.

Shan Xiao watched the butterfly flying back and forth on top of his son, tightly clutching Chu Yizhu's clothes, if the butterfly dared to suck his son's blood, even if it could defeat the terrifying mummy, he would never lose it. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and shot him to death.

At this time, Shan Ling's curled eyelashes trembled slightly with her eyes closed, and then she opened her eyes. Shan Xiao took a breath and said softly, "Xiao Ling, you must not move."

Even though he knew that his son couldn't move his body now, Shan Xiao couldn't help reminding him.

The phoenix-tailed butterfly didn't know if it saw Shan Ling open its eyes, but the butterfly wings fluttered even faster, and it landed directly on the tip of Shan Ling's nose after spinning twice.

Shan Ling's nose is not quite like Shan Xiao's, it is more straight, but the lines are round and more three-dimensional. But if the butterfly wasn't the kind in the tomb that sucks blood and is more lethal than rice dumplings, that kind of person would definitely take out his phone and take a picture of this scene.

Chu Yiju looked at the little butterfly that suddenly landed on the tip of Shanling's nose, his face darkened, and he turned his lower body to let Shan Xiao cover it up. He touched his back and pulled out an inch-long silver needle.

Although this butterfly is dangerous, he will never watch Shan Xiao's son get hurt and make him sad.

Shan Ling's eyeballs lying on the ground turned slightly, seeing the silver needle between Chu Yizhu's fingers, his lips moved slightly: "Uncle Su, don't..."

He was able to speak unexpectedly, and then, he found that the feeling of numbness in his body was gradually dissipating, and his body slowly regained strength.

Everyone was shocked, because the knife was still lying there, except for the eyeballs, he couldn't move his fingers, let alone talk, and Shan Ling was able to speak now, and everyone's eyes could not help but fall on the phoenix. tail butterfly.

The phoenix-tailed butterfly hasn't moved since it landed on the tip of Shanling's nose. If you look carefully, you can only see a pair of light red tentacles on its head swaying slightly, and its mouthparts that can pierce flesh and suck blood are curled up. , not sucking blood.

After a while, the phoenix-tailed butterfly finally moved. Its wings spread, and the gorgeous color began to change, turning black with dots of golden spots on it. It flew up by patting its wings, but also blinked, and then sat down. When he got up, the phoenix-tailed butterfly circled him twice, then landed on his shoulder and did not move.

Could it be that the phoenix-tailed butterfly just landed on the tip of Shan Ling's nose, did it relieve him of the paralysis in his body?

"Xiaoling..." Shan Xiao looked at the motionless little butterfly on his son's shoulder like an ornament, took a deep breath, and then leaned over. Then, the phoenix-tailed butterfly still didn't understand, so she slowly I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, I'm fine." Turning his head to look at the phoenix-tailed butterfly on his shoulder, the little butterfly seemed to feel that Shan Ling was looking at him, and the pink antennae on its head moved, very cute.

This should be what he saw in his dream, the butterfly raised by that child who looked exactly like him when he was a child and that man named You, but...

"Small, little, little bell, you can move now, what about the knife!!" Si'er tremblingly moved to the side of the knife, poked it with his hand, and looked at the little butterfly on Shanling's shoulder.

Obviously, to unravel the feeling of paralysis, that strange little butterfly is the antidote.

Hearing this, Shan Ling turned her head to see that she was still lying on the ground with her eyes open, and looked at herself pitifully... the knife of the phoenix-tailed butterfly on her shoulder, and then turned her head to look at the girl with red tentacles dangling on her shoulder. small butterfly.

In a flash before her eyes, the phoenix-tailed butterfly disappeared, and when Shan Ling turned her head to look, she saw the black and golden butterfly wings fluttering on Xiaodao's face, and then disappeared in a flash, followed by Xiaodao's sharp "Awow" sound. Shouting, the body flinched and jumped up, as if being hit by something in the stomach.

Before everyone had time to react, the phoenix-tailed butterfly had already returned to Shan Ling's shoulder, and it didn't even change its position and movements, so everyone thought it must have been dazzled just now, right?

However, the knife can really move, hugging his stomach and shrinking on the ground, tears of pain are about to come out, the numbness in his body is really slowly fading, but the way to relieve it is too violent. Compared with the single bell, it is simply a world of difference.

It's just that whoever dares to challenge that phoenix-tailed butterfly will be able to blow people away with just one butterfly wing.

The phoenix-tailed butterfly rested on Shan Ling's shoulder like a decoration, motionless. Shan Xiao leaned over to deliver compressed dry food to his son, but the little butterfly spread its wings and flew over his head, startling him. A little afraid to move, Chu Yi suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand when he saw this, the butterfly wings moved again, and it actually flew down on his finger, gentle and pure like a pet.

Seeing that, the others were no longer so scared. Si'er and Ah Jun always liked to join in the fun. Seeing the butterfly was so gentle and harmless, they leaned over. Ah Jun stretched out his hand to poke Chu Yizhu's finger Butterfly.

Unexpectedly, before the finger was poked up, the jaw hurt, as if being punched by someone, and fell back heavily on the ground.

Experiments have proved that this little butterfly is not warm, pure and harmless, and should be cautious when approaching. Except for Shan Ling, Shan Xiao and Chu Yiju, everyone else may be attacked if they approach, so no one is within a radius of three people. Dare to step in.

"The butterflies in this tomb are so evil." Ah Jun held his chin, feeling extremely wronged.

"It's unscientific. If the butterfly thinks that Little Bell is good and doesn't attack Little Bell, then Mr. Shan is Little Bell's father, so he can be regarded as a lover of the house. Why, the boss doesn't attack when he leans over?" Chu Yi suddenly stared with gloomy eyes, and quickly covered his mouth.

The old ghost sitting on the side coughed, then ate a piece of compressed dry food, and said, "Taste."

"Huh??" Everyone was puzzled.

"When I went up the mountain, Asi said that you can't shoot animals with guns on the mountain, and you can't shoot them with your hands, because the smell of blood will attract butterflies, and the same is true for this phoenix-tailed butterfly. He felt close, so it followed after tearing up the zongzi, giving Xiaoling a sense of paralysis, and Mr. Shan is Xiaoling's father, and he has the same smell as Xiaoling, so Mr. Shan will not be attacked if he gets close. And our grandfather..."

Everyone's eyes turned to Chu Yizhu, full of curiosity. If according to the old ghost, Shan Xiao and Shan Ling are father and son, then the little butterfly will not attack, then it is still reasonable, but what about their master? It's not that little Lingdang is also their father's son. Thinking about it like this, everyone trembled three times, it's too scary.

Their jokes were not deliberately downplayed, Shan Ling laughed and laughed, Chu Yiju glared at them with gloomy eyes, while Shan Xiao's face was a little gloomy, and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Mr. Shan, what's the matter with you? You don't look very good." Da Shun and his son sat aside and listened to their conversation. When they turned around, they saw Shan Xiao's face lowered, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Hearing Dashun's words, both Chu Yiju and Shan Ling turned their faces, and both of them had deep concerns on their faces.

"dad?"

"Senior, what's the matter with you?" Chu Yiju looked at Shan Xiao's face, and he was indeed a little upset.

Shan Xiao put away her gloomy mood, glanced at her son and Chu Yizhu, showing an expression uglier than crying, and said, "No, I'm fine, I just feel a little tired."

Chu Yi suddenly leaned over, put his arms around his shoulders, and said: "Then you lean on me and sleep again, we will rest here for a while, and when we find the main tomb, if there is something in it that can lift the curse, we will take it." just leave."

"Yes, yes, Dad, you can sleep next to Uncle Su for a while." Shan Ling leaned over, and the phoenix-tailed butterfly wings on her shoulders slightly opened and closed a few times.

Shan Xiao glanced at Chu Yizhu, then closed her eyes, her heart trembling slightly.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with the joke between the old ghost and Ah Jun. The phoenix-tailed butterfly approached Xiaoling first, and then he and Chu Yiju, but they were very resistant to other people's approaching. Suddenly...
