Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 458 Missed
As soon as Tofu finished speaking, Wan Shitong's body suddenly shook, as if he was about to fall down. I was shocked, and I didn't care about the violently shaking rope, so I hurried to the opposite side, I just wanted to get there quickly, in case Wan Shitong will fall into the abyss.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wanshitong's swaying body suddenly stopped, and then he turned around abruptly.He is an ordinary-looking young man, he doesn't talk much, but he has a good temper, so he doesn't give a bad image.but now.His expression became very ferocious, his white teeth were bared, and his eyes were bloodshot, obviously something was wrong.

And at this moment, Wanshitong pulled out his dagger suddenly, dancing around in the air, as if possessed by an evil spirit.The platform is not big, so if you make such a violent movement, if you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the abyss. At this time, I still climbed to the end. After unlocking the safety buckle, I turned over and climbed onto the platform. Without saying a word, I rushed over Overwhelm the know-it-all.With this pressure, Wanshitong was pushed down to the ground, and with a loud cry, the dagger in his hand stabbed toward my waist.

In desperation, I had no choice but to turn over to avoid it. In this way, Wanshitong immediately had the opportunity to turn over, and the dagger stabbed towards my chest fiercely.I knew in my heart that Wanshitong was probably a demon at the moment, and it didn't make sense to say it. When he rushed over, I raised my leg and kicked him.

With this kick, Wan Shitong's body was unstable, and he fell backward suddenly, bumping into the sitting ancient corpse.And now I have been forced to the edge of the platform, and there is a rushing Wanshitong in front of me. There is no way to avoid it. I can only face the attack, and with a sweep of my leg, I will sweep Wanshitong to the ground.

Just when I got up and tried to restrain Wanshitong, I suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on my face.Sight is an invisible thing, but most people have this experience, just like if someone is watching you secretly, you can actually feel it. People attribute this phenomenon to the sixth sense of people.

And that's how I feel at the moment, if that line of sight has any substance, it's hard to ignore, Owen looked over suddenly, and suddenly met the masked face of the ancient corpse.

Could it be it...

My heart skipped a beat, and when I saw the pair of fish eyes on the mask, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, and I couldn't help but staggered.Since I was standing on the edge of the platform, when I stepped back, I stepped on the ground and fell backward suddenly. The rope was right next to me. At the very moment, I grabbed the rope with both hands, and my whole body was suspended in the air. hanging on the rope.

But at this time, Wanshitong got up again, shook his head violently, and seemed to be a little more awake. Seeing this, I quickly said: "Don't look at that ancient corpse!"

Wanshitong was a little wobbly, and seemed to want to leave the platform. He wobbled towards the rope and said indistinctly, "Hurry up, go..." Only then did I realize that the pocket at the waist of Wanshitong's trousers His chest was bulging, and it seemed that he had already taken the things on the ancient corpse.

Right now I am hanging on the rope, only about one meter away from the inner platform. Seeing Wan Shitong approaching, I thought he was awake, but this kid suddenly started cutting the rope with a dagger!The rope is sandwiched with a steel wire. Although it is tough, it can't stand doing this. I couldn't help but cursed my mother, and walked forward with my hands alternately. .Unexpectedly, this kid didn't dodge or dodge. After being kicked by me, he was kicked out by me. In an instant, his body became unstable and he fell towards the abyss.

My legs were still numb, and I was almost in a daze.Because it was too dark in the abyss, the figure of Master of Everything was swallowed by the darkness in an instant. I hung in the air with both hands tightly grasping the rope, and one hand resting on the platform, my head was buzzing.

I kicked the know-it-all into the abyss!

Omg.

I almost forgot to breathe, and there was only one thought on my mind: how could this happen?I didn't expect such a scene at all.And the people on the stone steps let out a burst of exclamation at the moment Wanshitong fell into the abyss, followed by a deadly silence.

After a while, I heard Ouyang Xuan's shrill voice: "The surname is Chen! Look what you have done!"

Zhuan Rui and Zhong Gong didn't speak, but Zhang Wen's voice followed: "Oh my god, how could this happen, you...you really don't know what to do."

Then there was Ouyang Xuan's voice again, startled and angry, and she said to Zhuan Rui: "The head of the family, what should I do now, you, why did you find such a person! He, he..." At this moment, I don't want to mention it in my heart. What does it feel like? Although I haven't killed people before, most of them were done as a last resort in extremely dangerous environments. Now, Master of Everything died in vain purely because of my misjudgment.

This bottomless abyss, how can there be life if you fall into it?

"Enough!" Tofu yelled loudly when Ouyang Xuan was speaking, pulling my thoughts back.I just listened to Doufu's clumsy excuse: "No one knew that such a thing would happen, Lao Chen, Lao Chen didn't mean it..."

Ouyang Xuan said angrily: "So what if it wasn't intentional, can you kill someone if it wasn't intentional?"

Tofu was also angry, and retorted: "Since you are so capable, you Zhuan Rui, you Zhong Gong, and you Zhang Wen, why didn't the three of you go there by yourself just now, and now that something happened..."

When Ouyang Xuan heard that Tofu blamed Zhuan Rui, she became even more angry, and said a long series of words very fast, I couldn't understand clearly for a while, but Tofu was on my side after all, after Ouyang Xuan finished scolding, He pushed back unceremoniously: "Selfish, shut up."

"You dare to finish cursing? What are you!" I heard Ouyang Xuan's angry voice. At this moment, Tofu shouted at me: "Old Chen, come back quickly and don't face that evil old rice dumpling. Let's stop taking jobs, break up, each go back to each house, each finds each mother!"

I know that Tofu is defending me, and I'm moved, but I also know that I know everything.As for breaking up the partnership, it is even more impossible. Although I, Chen Xuan, am not a good person, I also know that I will repay my kindness. Zhuanrui has helped me a lot all the time, and I still have to pay back what should be paid. Now that something like this happened, if I After leaving, is it something a responsible person should do?
Thinking of this, I started to retreat, and this time, the rope shook violently again, but this time there was no safety buckle, and my whole body was supported by two hands.At this moment, I suddenly discovered that there was only a little rope left in the place cut by the jack-of-all-trades dagger. Come and grind, it is shocking to see.

I thought it was not good, the rope was afraid that it would not be able to support me to reach the opposite side, so I climbed up to the platform first and re-built the ropeway.However, at this moment, the rope that seemed to me to be able to hold on for a while suddenly snapped.

The next situation can be imagined, the rope broke, and my whole body was like a bungee jumping, holding the only life-saving rope tightly in my hand, and the whole person fell suddenly.At this critical moment, my hand quickly pulled the rope twice, and then the rope stretched straight, and I was dropped into the abyss, swinging back and forth with gravity.

If I hadn't held the rope with my wrist in advance, I'm afraid I would have fallen straight down.

At this time, on the edge of the stone steps above, Tofu had a dead brother's expression on his face. Seeing that I was still hanging on the rope, he showed a relieved expression, and shouted: "Old Chen, hold on to the rope and don't move, I'll come Help you." Due to the pull of gravity, I guess my wrist is a little dislocated, the pain is unbearable, and I can't exert any strength at all.Tofu pulled me up with the rope, and Zhong Gong also helped. After a while, I was pulled to the top of the platform. I lost weight for a while, fell into the cliff for a while, and now my wrist was dislocated. In just a few minutes, my whole body It was sweating profusely.

Ouyang Xuan naturally didn't have a good face towards me, plus she always likes tofu sticking to her, this time she also spoke bad words to her and became even more angry.I glanced at Zhuan Rui and said, "I'm sorry about this incident."

Zhuan Rui narrowed his eyes, and asked after a while, "What's going on?"

I said: "That ancient corpse is very evil, Wanshitong is controlled by it." Immediately afterwards, he narrated the loss process, and Tofu said after hearing the words: "After all, it was all caused by that old rice dumpling." , I will abolish it!"

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the corpse fairy: "Mu, you kill that old rice dumpling for me, and I'll go back and buy you ten bottles of dichlorvos!" The corpse fairy tilted his head and ignored him.

I said, "Okay, Wanshitong fell, I don't know what's going on down here. The old zongzi's belongings are on Wanshitong's body, we have to go down to the abyss, no matter what, we have to see people when we live, and corpses when we die."

Ouyang Xuan sneered and said, "What's the use of pretending to be a good person at this time."

Although I am a bit innocent in this matter, Wanshitong is a good person. After all, I kicked him down. I cannot absolve myself of the blame for this matter. Therefore, seeing Tofu's rebuttal, I patted Tofu's hand and shook my head slightly. Signal him to be patient.

Zhong Gong sighed and didn't say anything. Zhuan Rui's face was gloomy, but he was more rational, and said, "Everyone is responsible for this matter. Since it has already happened, don't shirk each other. I don't need irresponsible people in my team." .” This sentence was probably in response to Tofu’s previous questioning, and then he said to me: “Are you sure it’s in his hands?”

I nodded, and Zhuan Rui said: "Okay, go down and find someone, but before that, you have to take revenge." He moved his gaze to the ancient corpse separated by an abyss of more than 40 meters in the distance. cold light.
