Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 709 Tracking
The three of us stood in front of the door without moving, while Lu Su kept patting the door panel and trying to get the big iron lock.I couldn't stand it anymore, took out a pry from my backpack, and smashed the iron lock with one hand.

With a clatter, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the door was pushed open by Lu Su. Countless dust and dust fell down, fascinating everyone's eyes for a moment, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back.Lu Su didn't stop, and walked into the house slowly.

The inside of the door was very dark, and the sunlight half penetrated through the door. Lu Su called out softly, "Mom? Dad?" It seemed that his sanity was damaged to some extent. A normal person could tell at a glance that no one lived in this room. .I followed in, curious about where Lu Su stayed.

The entrance is a facade, which is a common structure in towns and towns in the past, integrating business and residence.As soon as I entered, I saw two empty coffins covered in dust, one of which had a half-finished lid and was half-on top of the coffin.

Two nests of mice had already gathered in the coffin, and as we arrived, they fled into the darkness as if frightened.

Lu Su slowly looked at everything in the room, his eyeballs moved slowly, as if he was remembering something, after a while, he started to walk in, the lazy guy had no interest in all this, and he followed slowly with his eyelids raised. At the end.Chen Tiande and I walked on the left and right sides of Lu Su, watching his movements.

We then followed him upstairs into what was supposed to be a bedroom.

The furniture here has not been moved. It seems that after the real Lu Su's family died, the fake Lu Su closed the place. The things in the house are still the same, but covered with dust, dark and damp. There was a strong musty smell.

Lu Su didn't seem to be aware of it, and went straight to the dusty bed beside him, as if he was missing something, with a dazed expression, but at this moment, I noticed a very strange thing in this room.

At the corner of the room, an iron rod as thick as an arm was welded. On it was a thick rusty iron chain. The end of the iron chain was a dog's collar, which was placed on a quilt that seemed to be laid on the floor. .

Chen Tiande looked at the dog's collar, couldn't help hissing, and said, "Do you still have a dog?" I remembered what Wen Min said, and thought that it was probably not a dog, but a person.It is said that when Lu Su was first brought down the mountain, he was like a beast, inhumane, fierce and hurtful, so he was tied up, and he was not released until he became no different from a normal person.

I waited for a while, but when Zhen Lu Su did not speak, I asked, "What did you remember?" I pointed to the iron chain.

He turned his head with difficulty, stared at the iron chain for a long time, seemed to be remembering something, and after a while, said: "The cave... there are people."

cave?

I froze for a moment, not understanding why such a word came out of his mouth.Is there someone in the cave?Could it be that he was saying that Lu Su was once in a cave?Finally, he gestured again and said, "Let's go in...take the knife, then, then..." He suddenly covered his head, as if in extreme pain, I heard his speech was confused, and he was in such pain at the moment, so I didn't ask any more go down.It seems that I am in a hurry.

Take a knife?

Ghost crying knife?

Could it be that the knife in Lu Su's hand was also obtained here?
Zhen Lu Su stayed in this place and refused to leave. This place was really uninhabitable, so the three of us forcibly took him out and found a small hotel nearby to stay temporarily.It can't be called coercion, the lazy guy impatiently threatened to send it back if he didn't obey, and the kid didn't dare to resist.

The stench on his body was unstoppable, I asked him to take a bath by himself, but this kid seemed to have forgotten how to put on his clothes, helpless, I could only hold my breath to take off his clothes, but just as I took them off, I suddenly saw, On the kid's shoulders, there was a bump, about the size of a fingernail, not conspicuous, but square in shape and very regular.

I was a little surprised and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

Zhen Lu Su thought for a long time, and finally gestured: "Cut it open, and put a black one in, it hurts for a long time."

I froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that I had made a big mistake, and immediately pulled out the dagger, and cut open his raised piece of skin.It was just a small cut, and it didn't hurt very much, but Zhen Lu Su was obviously terrified and trembling, as if I was the same as the lazy pervert.

I ignored him, picked out the dagger, and a black chip-like thing was picked out.

The chip has long been merged into one with flesh and blood, and the full appearance cannot be seen, but as the saying goes, if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. This thing should be an implant-shaped locator. 'I have also seen that it can be used to locate pets or some people who have no ability to take care of themselves, such as severe mental illness or Alzheimer's or fools. Implanting this locator can prevent people and animals from getting lost.

It is already eight o'clock in the evening, eight or nine hours have passed since we left the basement, and there is still such a thing hidden in Lu Su's body!

Mistake!
At this moment, he was clutching his wound and screaming, but the wound was actually not that big, so I ignored it, and prepared to call Lazy and Chen Tiande, and transfer overnight, and now I don't care about reminding Lu Su of anything.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, the person I least wanted to see appeared at the door.

Lu Su.

He is still the same, the only difference is that the gentle smile on his face on weekdays looks extremely cold at the moment: "Brother Chen, long time no see."

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked behind him.There are two people behind him, two young people who look very ordinary, but I know that those who can follow Lu Su's side are definitely not as simple as I seem.

Lu Su said again: "I'm here to bring back the things I lost." As he said that, he glanced into the room.

Real Lu Su noticed the commotion here, glanced at us, suddenly screamed as if he saw some monster, and ran away, but not in the direction of the door, but towards the window.

This kid is going to jump out of the window and escape!

Not to mention Lu Su, even I was shocked, you know, this place is on the fourth floor, he is not a messenger, his body function is no different from that of a living person, if he jumps, let alone run away, at least his arm will be broken leg.

I immediately ran back and shouted: "Don't jump!" But these words were like farting. Zhen Lu Su didn't care at all. He turned over on the window and was about to jump down. At this moment, he heard crackling. With a sound, the standing leg of Zhen Lu Su suddenly splashed a bunch of blood, and then that leg gave way, and fell to the ground, unable to jump out.

is the gun.

A gun with a suppressor.

The muffler does not completely cover up the gunshots, but camouflages the gunshots and turns them into sounds like setting off firecrackers or smashing things.

The one who fired the shot was a young man with a snub nose and an unattractive appearance behind Lu Su. After he finished shooting, the pistol twirled around on his finger, and then transferred the muzzle to me.

I stood at the door without moving.

Lu Su still had a smile on his face, and said: "I have always underestimated you. Brother Chen, I was surprised by the troubles you and Xiao Dou have caused." Hearing what he said, I I know, the tofu must be fine, and also, now that the tofu and the corpse fairy are more than half fused, it is not so easy for him to catch the corpse fairy.So I said: "I'm also very surprised, you will find him so quickly. You put a lot of effort into this person?"

Zhen Lu Su dragged his injured leg and hid under the bed, a bloodstain was shocking.

But at this time, Lanhuo and Chen Tiande arrived at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, blocking the escape route of the three of Lu Su.I am slightly relieved, there are many people and strength is great, if we really want to fight together, it is not completely impossible for me to win now.

At this time, the owner of the hotel shouted at us from the passage: "What was that noise just now? What exploded?"

Before I could reply, Lu Su turned his head and said with a smile, "The lighter went off, it's all right." The boss didn't say much, and disappeared after turning a corner.

After he finished speaking, he walked into the room, walked to the bed, and lifted him out of bed. His voice was calm and gentle as usual: "Brother, come out."

There was a sound of chattering teeth under the bed, I sneered in my heart, and said: "It's very affectionate, as far as I know, you were rescued by people from the Lu family, hiss... this is a white-eyed wolf, you It's really easy to do." I don't know how the real Lu Su died, but his parents were probably killed by Lu Su.

Lu Su smiled slightly and said, "I've put in so much effort, don't I want to save him?"

I said: "Take this to deceive ghosts. Since you are here, let's make it clear. I have never intended to be your enemy, and you know that." Lu Su nodded and smiled: "But Why are you against me this time?"

I said: "If you hadn't been attacking my brother all the time, you thought I was interested in coming to this ravine in the middle of the night?"

Lu Su seemed calm and composed, the previous gloom had subsided, and he was no different from usual, I don't know, seeing his gentle appearance, he thought we were old friends reunited.

"Brother Chen, the world is in a dilemma. We were born and died together. I really regarded you as friends. But, who knows what will happen now. You should know that if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. I once This time I backed down because I wanted to preserve this brotherhood. However, I didn't expect that he would have anything to do with Shi Xian. Brother Chen, you can completely get out of this matter. The only one I have to deal with is Dou Bozhi , why are you fighting against me?"

I sneered in my heart: What kind of concessions are just taking advantage of us to reap the benefits. This Lu, speaking, can really move the dead.He said that, but I don't know how to flatter.

The lazy guy on one side raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lu Su with interest.

I simply followed his words and said, "You're right. After all, we are also brothers who go through life and death. How could I want to fight against you? It's a pleasure for a good brother to achieve what he wants. If I stop you, It's too boring. I'm not interested in going against you, but don't touch my brother, I have a way to separate him from the corpse fairy. If there are complaints and revenge, go to the corpse fairy."

Lu Su sat on the bed and slightly kicked the edge of the bed. Once he kicked, the sound of chattering teeth became louder.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "It seems that we can't reach a consensus?"

"Yes." I said, "That's why we have the current situation." If it wasn't because of Lu Su's refusal to let go of Tofu, to be honest, I really don't want to be an enemy of such a person.Lu Su smiled, his eyes slowly swept across the room, and finally he took a look at Lanhuo and Chen Tiande, and said, "This is the helper you asked for? Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." He called Mr. Chen It's Chen Tiande.

Chen Tiande has a perverse temper, he doesn't like Lu Su's tricks, he just ignores him, hugs the soul pet, and only stares at the bottom of the bed.He is an expert in refining and raising corpses. When he saw the real Lu Su, it was like seeing an 'artifact'. His mind was completely diverted and he didn't express his opinion.

Lu Su then said again: "You two, we have no grievances in the past, and we have no enmity in recent days. Could it be that the two of you also want to fight against me?" If you don't give me face, I don't need to give you face." I knew in my heart that I couldn't be kind today, and after thousands of calculations, I didn't count this kid. The tracker, which made Lu Su plate the door.

I turned my eyes and looked at the ground beside me. There was an equipment bag on the ground. I was checking some things before. An iron chisel was placed at my feet, leaning against the bed.At this moment, I only need to bend slightly to pick up the crowbar.

Lu Su was right next to me, and he didn't bring his saber with him. After all, he wasn't fighting under the sun. Such a big saber doesn't carry it all the time.My heart sank, and I knew there was no other way, so I gave the lazy guy a wink.

The lazy guy is very shrewd, he yawned, and at the moment of yawning, he kicked sideways, with a speed like thunder, and kicked the man with the gun flying away, and the gun also snapped. fell to the ground.

Chen Tiande was still motionless, but the person beside him suddenly squatted down with his body hugged, scratching non-stop, and at some point, many rash-like things appeared on his face.This man surnamed Chen really killed people invisible, I applauded secretly in my heart, at this moment, I picked up the crowbar and slammed it at Lu Su.

Lu Su reacted very quickly, his whole body leaned back, rolled on the bed on the spot, and rolled to the other side.I was fully focused at the moment, and almost at the moment he rolled over, I also jumped on him, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the actions of Lazy Boy and others for a while.

Lu Su's skill is excellent, I missed this blow, after he got off the bed, his waist was not straight and he grabbed it with his hands, trying to unload the weapon in my hand.But this time he made a mistake. I didn't really want to use the crowbar to hurt him. Because I fought with Lu Su many times, I know his reflexes very well, and I also know the probability of success if I use the crowbar to sneak attack. very small.

The real killing move is behind.

At the moment when Lu Su snatched my weapon with his hands, I pressed the mechanism on the wrist of my left hand. In an instant, a small black knife was quickly sent into Lu Su's throat, close to it.Lu Su stopped his movements, his eyes were cold, and he said: "I forgot, you still have this skill."

I said: "If you use too many killing moves, it won't work, so you never use them, and save them for big shots like you." The flying knife technique that my grandfather left me can't be practiced overnight. Many, I have to be busy with business on weekdays, and it is impossible to practice to the level of Chen Ci. After a few more experiences, I decided that it is better to save it as a later trick instead of learning it, so I no longer carry too many throwing knives. , only one handle was left, and the poison was quenched.

At this moment, Chen Tiande calmly made one person roll on the ground, and the lazy guy quickly restrained the other person. Lu Su was pressed against me with a small knife, but he didn't dare to act rashly.I said: "The poison on this knife sees blood and seals the throat. It's not easy to get this kind of poison these days, so be careful."

Lu Su kept one foot half kneeling on the bed, and the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitched into a smile, slowly revealing a smile: "I was careless, you want to kill me?"

I said: "Our two goals have conflicting goals, and we are both unwilling to give in. After thinking about it, this is the fastest way." The more dirty people are, the easier it is to kill them, because they themselves cannot use the law. This kind of thing is used as a weapon, black eats black, and death is all over.At this moment, I was really determined to kill. At this moment, there was a movement under the bed, and then, Zhen Lu Su timidly got out.

At this moment, each of us controls the other, forming a situation like a freeze frame.He looked at us, then at Lu Su, and suddenly showed an expression like he was about to cry: "He's here." His leg was still bleeding, but he stumbled and wanted to run to the door.

I was puzzled for a moment.

he?
which he?
Could there be someone else besides Lu Su?
I was dazed, and suddenly realized that there was an extra person on the window sill at some point.

That person seemed to appear out of thin air. Real Lu Su seemed to be more afraid of him than Lu Su, dragging his injured leg, crawling and running towards the door.The lazy guy was very surprised, his hearing was amazing, but the surprised expression at this moment clearly showed that he didn't know when a person appeared at the window.

Lu Su looked at the person who was scrambling and trying to run, without saying a word, then looked at the window and said, "It's too late."

The figure of the man looked fat, and he was half hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see clearly. After a while, he let out a strange laugh and walked in from the darkness.My intuition told me that something bad might happen.

After a while, the man walked into the room. It was winter, and the man was wearing a thick down jacket, swaying in like a ball.He has a slightly plump face, fair and beardless, but on the left side of his face, there are a few hideous and terrifying scars, as if drawn out by some animal's claws. The scars are black, making his face look extremely terrifying.

I have never seen this man.

Who is he?
And at this moment, all of us seemed to become air, the man's eyes instantly met with Chen Tiande's, and the muscles on Chen Tiande's face tensed up.

In an instant, I guessed the identity of the person who came, he should be the expert behind Lu Su that Chen Tiande said.

He stared at Chen Tiande, but said in his mouth: "Old Lu, the more you live, the more you go back."

Lu Su smiled slightly, and said, "Daqi, a few years ago you bragged to me that no one could break into the trap you set up. Should you give me an explanation for this situation?"

During the conversation between the two, all of us were completely ignored.

As soon as Lu Su's words fell, the so-called Daqi suddenly shifted his gaze to the real Lu Su who had already crawled to the door, but he didn't see what he was doing, and the real Lu Su seemed to be under a spell. The same, shivering in the corner with his head in his arms.

My heart sank involuntarily.

This person...is not something we can deal with.

After subduing Zhen Lu Su who was about to escape, the man named Da Qi sat on the stool next to him, his down jacket bulged, and only his head was exposed. It looked very funny, but the fierce scar on his face made people feel uncomfortable at all. From the mind of making fun of.

Then, he said: "It's a good show. I heard it just now. Your name is Chen Xuan? It's amazing, it's amazing, you can stop him, good job, first help me give him two punches to vent my anger, I promise to give it to you!" You three leave a whole body."

Hearing this, I felt that this person was extremely arrogant. In this world, there are generally two types of people who are arrogant.This banner clearly belongs to the latter.

I remained calm and said, "Oh? Why did you beat him up for you? You two have a grudge?"

Daqi smiled and said: "I don't have hatred, but last time this kid said he would introduce business to me, but he made me suffer. I have been trying to beat him but never found a chance. If you punch him twice, I will Leave you a whole body, such a conversion deal, don't you do it?"

Just as I was about to speak, the spiritual pet in Chen Tiande's arms suddenly barked.

Daqi turned his gaze, and said: "This little animal is well-raised. It's winter, so I can use it to make soup." I could see that Chen Tiande was actually a bit jealous of this Daqi, but he loved dogs like his life. With these words, his perverse temperament was immediately exposed without concealing it, and he shouted angrily: "Where did the younger generation come from, so rampant! Grandpa Chen wants to see today, who will be stewed!"

This time Chen Tiande was really angry. He raised his hand and spilled something. In an instant, the whole room was filled with a stench. At the same time, my eyes were like pepper water , burning pain, unable to open for a while.
