Chapter 11: The Black Coffin
Lu Xiaoqi didn't know that the collars around the necks of the two black men had been loosened, the frowning brows of the two black men who were still in a coma had been loosened, and the painful expressions had disappeared.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqi's mind was still immersed in the chains, or in other words, in the unknown territory that was led by the chains.
This is a dimly lit space, to be precise, it is a vast space with very low visibility, as if you are in the sea and can only see a dozen meters around you.
In this space, Lu Xiaoqi can guarantee that he has never seen it, but he always has a sense of familiarity, and the thing that makes Lu Xiaoqi most familiar here is the chain not far from him, after all, it was this chain that led him here.
The chains seemed weightless, like silk ribbons, floating in the air and stretching into the invisible darkness.
Filled with curiosity, Lu Xiaoqi walked along the chain, and after about 1 minute, he finally saw the end of the chain, but the scene in front of him surprised him!
At the end of the chain, there was actually a pitch-black coffin!
And the chain is three layers inside, and the outer three layers bind the coffin, as if there is something amazing sealed in this black coffin!
Lu Xiaoqi finally understood why he had a feeling of familiarity with this place!
He still clearly remembers the weird dream he had after being hit by a box when he was still in Yanjing!
Isn't there a variety of endless coffins in that dream?
Although he could only see this coffin in front of him now, he could almost conclude that there must be countless coffins distributed around the unknown, all the way to the endless distance, just like that dream!
In order to verify his idea, he restrained his fear of the dark unknown and continued to walk forward, only to find that no matter how he walked, he would always return to the front of this black coffin, like a ghost hitting a wall.
"Maybe it's not time yet! Or, like this chain, it needs another guide. Lu Xiaoqi thought with a wry smile, he now vaguely guessed that all the abilities he had obtained all the time were related to that dream, or rather, to this vast space where the coffin was parked!
He gave up looking for other coffins, and now he is not qualified to find all the coffins.
Walking in front of the pitch-black coffin, standing still, he carefully looked at this coffin, different from what he saw in that dream, this coffin does not have those gorgeous decorations, nor those mysterious carved words, there are no lines around the body, it is a very standard cube, if there is anything special, that is, the whole coffin should be made of pure black iron, which looks simple but heavy.
Lu Xiaoqi had the courage to touch it with his fingers, it was cold and cold, it was the feeling of touching the iron, and like the chain, this coffin was suspended in mid-air.
Other than these, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't see anything special. He is very entangled now, looking at the chains that bind this black coffin tightly, there won't be any big demon king in it, right? Do you want to untie the chains? If you don't untie it, you are not reconciled, and if you untie it, you are likely to encounter unknown dangers.
He walked around the coffin a few times, and counted, and the chain was wound 36 times, and the outer chain was dark red, and the further inside it went, the blacker it became, and the one that was close to the innermost was as black as the coffin.
In the end, he still couldn't restrain his curiosity, how to say, he is worthy of a man who aspires to be a physicist, and his desire for knowledge is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
He pulled the chain, circle by circle "untied", the first few laps were fine, but when he untied the sixth circle, he suddenly felt that the chain seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, not only could not hold it, but also became as hot as boiling oil, and quickly let go of his hand.
When he let go, it was like being woken up from a dream, his mind was "kicked out" of this space, and he returned to reality.
……………………………
Back in reality, he realized that the chains that connected the two black men had been loosened, and now the chains were thinner and wrapped around his forearm.
He was "kicked out" of the space, naturally a little unconvinced, and was about to go in again, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his dormitory.
Lu Xiaoqi had no choice but to give up, get up and go to open the door first, and continue his research when he was free in the evening.
Lu Xiaoqi just came to the United States and didn't know many people, so as expected, it was Anne, but today she also brought another person over, and it was a big beauty.
"Lu, didn't bother you, did you?" Anne asked with a smile.
"No, Annie, please come in!" Lu Xiaoqi opened the door and invited Anne and the girl behind her to come in.
"Let me introduce you, this is my cousin Jessica, Jessica, she is Lu, my friend!" As soon as Anne came in, she introduced Lu Xiaoqi.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Jessica was the first to say hello, and the smile on her face was very bright, which made people feel close.
"I'm glad to meet you, Jessica, too." Lu Xiaoqi gave each of the two of them a Coke and asked them to sit down.
He looked at Anne and motioned for her to tell her about the purpose of bringing her cousin, she wasn't here to play after all, was she?
Anne didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaoqi's eyes, but pretended to be unhappy: "Okay! I still think of you as a friend! You're hiding so deeply! Still hiding it from me! Are all the boys in China as low-key and reserved as you? ”
Of course, Lu Xiaoqi knew that she was talking about subduing the robbers, and he pouted, how could he explain this? He is not stupid, and his adventures cannot be told to anyone.
"It's just that I practiced a little bit of boxing and kicking when I was a child!" Lu Xiaoqi said perfunctorily.
"Wow! Do you really know kung fu? Like Bruce Lee? Anne's cousin interjected, her eyes were wide open, to be honest, Lu Xiaoqi had never seen such beautiful eyes.
"Ahem!" Anne saw that Lu Xiaoqi was a little distracted when she looked at her cousin's eyes, and deliberately coughed twice, "Answer the question!" ”
Lu Xiaoqi naturally couldn't hear the slight sourness in this tone, so he just touched his nose in disguise: "Yes, when I was in elementary school, I went to practice every summer vacation!" ”
He's not lying, he did go to the Children's Palace to learn Changquan secretly during the summer vacation when he was in elementary school, but it was only three minutes of heat, and he didn't practice after less than a month of learning, children, impatient, not to mention that he was in an orphanage at the time, no one paid him tuition, and it was a risk to steal school.
"Cool!" Jessica's eyes lit up a little, Anne on the side rolled her eyes, and she didn't know what her psychology was, she affectionately put her arm on Lu Xiaoqi's shoulder: "You have time to teach me two tricks!" I think it must be more useful than women's self-defense! ”
My cousin naturally saw this scene and felt a little funny in her heart, she may have had such a childish expression a few years ago!
But it was such a childish expression, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't see it, but responded weakly: "Okay... Good. "He's still thinking about how to get by, after all, he really doesn't know much kung fu, and he knew that he wouldn't pretend to be forced just now.
After chatting for a while, Anne said what she meant: "Lu, actually, my cousin is a reporter from the Boston Globe, she wants to interview you, I heard that you are reluctant to contact the media, and then I brought her here, you won't blame me, right?" After speaking, she looked at Lu Xiaoqi apologetically.
Lu Xiaoqi was speechless, you brought everything with you, I can't drive you away, right? He sighed: "Well, if there is anything you want to ask, say it!" ”
