Tomb Raider

Chapter 49 Speculation (1)
Chapter 18Conjecture
Liu Qi looked at me blankly and didn't answer me. He touched a cigarette and started to smoke. After I asked him repeatedly, he still didn't open his mouth.At this moment, he shivered for a while, apparently a little cold, and Liu Qi sighed suddenly after I handed him the clothes I picked up in the backpack.

When I saw him like this, I thought it was because he was bored and wanted to compromise. When I asked further, he just whispered something quietly: "Some things can't just be seen on the surface!"

Although this sentence is common, if you think about it carefully, you won’t think so. Now that I’m going through all the things that happened, I suddenly realize that there is a detail that I have been ignoring.

When Liu Qi and I were chasing Lao Hu, I checked at the entrance of the corridor and found no obvious items such as clothes.And the contrast between what I said and what I saw was too great.According to Liu Qi's statement that the ant eggs were artificially placed, there are now two uncertain factors, one is the old Hu who has been disappearing all the time, and the other is the scorpion in front of me.

This conclusion made me a little bit unacceptable for a while, after all, here is the person I trust the most, if even he is suspected, I really don't know what to do.

I shook my head and didn't dare to think about it anymore. There are enough mysteries now, and it doesn't matter if there is one more. The most important thing now is to find the way out quickly.

Seeing that □□ had changed his clothes, I pretended not to know anything and looked around. At this moment, I didn't dare to ask him what was weird about Liu Qi, because I couldn't believe anyone at this moment.

□□Shake the clothes covered with ant eggs from the ground to make sure there is nothing inside before putting them in the bag.When I raised my head and saw me looking at him faintly, I smiled and said, "Although it's something from the 21st century, I'm sure Lao Hu will come out to pick off my clothes, so keep it safe!"

I smiled, maybe Liu Qi's hint was at work, no matter how I looked at it, I felt a little weird.

After tidying up the backpack, I found that the first one was not brought. The terrible thing is that the backpack he was in charge of was full of daily supplies. After counting the time, it has been almost a day now. If I can’t go out next, I will only be hungry.

Liu Qi glanced at us after finishing his cigarette, and walked towards the stone platform not far away. I saw this and walked over with my backpack.

After stopping, he patted the finger-thick gap in the concave surface of the stone platform with his hand, then scraped off the blood around it with his nails, leaned over it and blew lightly.

This action was a bit weird, I stood behind him and didn't know what to do, seeing Liu Qi was silent for a few seconds, turned to look at me and said: "There is space below!"

Before I could react, he took out the folding shovel and planned to dig. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a general idea.This finger-thick gap should be a place for blood storage. Since it was designed for human sacrifice, there should be a secret passage underneath, because the blood must flow to the designated place.

Thinking that I could leave here, I suddenly regained my energy, and I didn't care who I believed or not, I turned around and called □□ to help me, but when I looked back, he was going to climb out of the hole where I fell.

When I saw it, I sighed that it was over. I don't know if the red ants on it had left. If he went up so rashly, it might be bad for the ants to bite.Realizing his situation, Liu Qi hurriedly put down the folding shovel and rushed over, grabbed his leg and pulled it down.
