Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 62: A Dream Contains Elixir

While speaking, the fairy mouse's eyeballs moved, and it wobbled forward two steps. We immediately stopped talking, and the three guns aimed at each other.If this white-haired bat is also a rare thing, if it is really killed, it would be a bit violent.

I thought to myself: It's rare for you Grandpa Chen to show kindness once. If you want to fly away by yourself, it's fine. If you really want to eat human flesh, then I can only say sorry.

Thinking about it this way, I didn't shoot at the head, but at the part under its legs, and fired a shot first.I thought I would see a scene of bloodshed, but who would have thought that the shuttle passed by without even a drop of blood? The fairy mouse and white-haired bat seemed more indifferent, and continued to walk towards us, swaying like The appearance of the mouse makes people feel hairy in the bottom of their hearts.

I was very confident that this white-haired bat would not pose any threat to us.Who knew that this gun would not work at all, and he couldn't help being stunned for a while.Even Gu Wenmin said: "It's broken, isn't it afraid of guns?"

Tofu said: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. I didn't expect this event to happen to us. What should we do now? Perverted Chen, you should quickly find a way."

My mind was also very confused, so I couldn't help asking: "A few days ago, didn't you say that you are Zhuge Liang?"

"That's because I didn't say anything." After a pause, Tofu stared nervously at the fairy mouse, and said, "I am the descendant of Zhuge Liang's neighbor's aunt's aunt and her son's nephew."

I was already desperate for Tofu's IQ, and I also had no hope for him. At this moment, as the white-haired bat got closer, I suddenly understood it.It turns out that the bat has lived for an unknown number of years. Its body has a lot of hair, rough skin and thick flesh. The bullet penetrates into the hair layer and is caught by the rough skin. It cannot penetrate at all. Plastic is even stronger.

This time, I didn't care if it was a rare species, and immediately raised my hand to aim. Since the distance was not very far, it was easier to aim, and I shot it in the head immediately.

There was a bang, and the shotgun in my hand shook, and the recoil made the tiger's mouth numb. This shot hit the vital point, but it came to nothing, silently, and did not stop the white-haired bat from advancing at all.As the distance drew closer, the three of us smelled a strange fragrance at the same time.Yes, it was the smell, and not the peculiar stench of animals.

The white-haired bat exudes a strange fragrance.

"What's the smell?" Gu Wenmin was a little alert, and covered her nose with her hands. Although it was a scent, it still felt weird in this environment.

I can't help but think of another saying about the jellyfish.Bats live for thousands of years and will turn into white hairs. This kind of white-haired bats is also known as "fairy mouse" among the people. It is said that they often drink divine water such as the cave sky. Over time, a special pill will be formed in their mouths. , called 'Dream containing elixir', it is said that this pill exudes a strange fragrance and can lead people into a fairyland.

Just as I was thinking about it, Tofu next to me sniffled suddenly, turned his head, his eyes were full of tears, I jumped in shock, and thought that Tofu was a little bit cowardly, but not to this point.He was only a knife away from death, why did he cry in fright?

Immediately afterwards, Tofu suddenly rushed towards me, buried his head in my arms, hugged my waist and did not let go, crying and howling: "Dad, you are finally back. I understand. After the plane crash, you must You lived on a deserted island, learned from Robinson Crusoe, and survived with difficulty. I knew you didn't die..."

I immediately understood, knowing that there was something wrong with the tofu, I immediately slapped it, and cursed: "Look clearly, who the hell is your father! Your parents' plane crashed in the field, there is a deserted island!" !” While cursing, several thoughts turned in my mind: He suddenly became delirious, could it be related to that strange fragrance?
Tofu was slapped across the face by me, and he didn't wake up at all, and continued to rush over, howling: "My dear father, why do you hit people as soon as you meet!" I was angry and anxious, and as the fairy mouse approached, The strange smell became more and more intense, Tofu hugged me tightly and refused to let go, I could only turn my head quickly, and said to Gu Wenmin next to me: "Let's retreat first and then make plans."

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I found that Gu Wenmin had also been tricked, with his eyes straightened, he stood in the same place, staring at me, looking very strange.I just realized that something was wrong with her, Gu Wenmin raised one hand, the black box in his hand was facing my forehead, fingers bent, ready to pull the trigger.

How could I have thought of this situation, thinking that Tofu was out of his mind and regarded me as his father, that's fine, why did Gu Wenmin shoot me!

At this time, I didn't think much about it. When I saw her pull the trigger, I rolled on the ground holding the tofu in a hurry, and kicked Gu Wenmin's leg. Her shot missed, and she fell to the ground.Immediately, I kicked away the tofu who was begging for nothing and was about to get up, but as soon as my body moved, my brain suddenly felt dizzy.

The dizziness was so strong that my mind went blank almost instantly, and I was completely dazed.When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help being stunned.I found myself sitting on a wooden bench in front of a large table with two bowls of white rice and a plate of green vegetables.

The familiar earth-walled houses and furniture around me made me feel like I was struck by lightning in an instant.

This...isn't this the old house where my grandfather and I lived?

how can i be hereHow is this going?

At this moment, from the side of the house, there was the sound of a spatula colliding with an iron pan, accompanied by a hoarse but loud voice: "Xiao Xuan, the vegetables are ready, Come and carry it."

It's my grandfather's voice.

This scene that was forgotten in my memory suddenly appeared vividly in front of my eyes at this moment.With the lessons learned from tofu, I vaguely knew that I might have hallucinations or something because I inhaled that fragrance, but I knew it was an illusion, but I felt a sense of reluctance.

Since I didn't move, the old man in the kitchen yelled again, which made my footsteps moved, and I had a thought in my heart: It doesn't matter if it's fake, just take a look.

I walked towards the kitchen, and an old man faced me with a wrinkled face and a kind smile. He walked towards me with a plate full of energy, took my hand by the way, and walked towards the dining table.

This is a very tangled emotion. I know that everything in front of me is fake, but this fake is too real.No, it should be said very true.At this moment, I have some doubts... Are the disappearance of grandpa, the subsequent hard work, the subsequent bankruptcy, the tomb robbery, and the fairy mouse all the Nanke Yimeng I was lying on the dinner table?Maybe now is the time to wake up from the dream.

My mind was very tangled. The old man on the opposite side was serving me food, and everything seemed to go back in time.It is difficult for people who have not experienced this kind of shock to understand, but I deeply know that all this is fake, maybe in reality, that fairy mouse is already closer to me.

How do I wake up from this hallucination?

Subconsciously, I wanted to spend more time with the old man in front of me, but my calm and rational thinking over the years gradually calmed me down.Grandpa seems to have noticed something wrong with me, and said: "Why don't you eat it? You caught this fish in the river today, haha, our Xiaoxuan is the best, and he will definitely be promising in the future. You are growing up, eat more Some." Grandpa touched my forehead while picking up vegetables for me, probably trying to determine if I had a fever.

I stared at his face for a while, my eyes were a little hot, and then I jumped off the long bench and hugged the bench in my arms.

Grandpa looked puzzled and said, "What are you doing? What kind of idea are you thinking?"

I guess my face must be very ugly now, I glanced between the bench and the old man, then picked up the long bench, and threw it at the opponent's head, knocking him to the ground in an instant, several times in succession, He beat the person opposite to the head and wailed endlessly.

The feeling of hurting my loved ones is indescribable. The first two blows made me feel almost collapsed, but the more I hit my head, the clearer I became. When the old man in front of me died, I just felt dizzy Dazzle, when he opened it again, he found that he was still in the bat tunnel.

Tofu and Gu Wenmin on the side seemed to have regained their sanity, and they stared at me stupidly.

Looking in front of me, the fairy mouse fell to the ground at some point, with bloody foam dripping from its mouth.

Tofu gulped down his saliva, gave me a thumbs up, and said, "Old Chen, you, you are so awesome! I always knew that you are cruel and evil, but it is amazing to be able to be so evil!"

When he said this, I suddenly found that my wrist joints were extremely painful. When I looked down, I realized that I was actually copying Gu Wenmin's camera in my hand. Stained with blood.
