Chapter 159: Laura's Dream 2
"It is said that the tomb of the Prophet was hidden among the cliffs above a lost city. Legend has it that the prophet was buried in some oasis. Laura's father's voice came over the tape recorder.
Based on the city she saw in the distance after she had just fallen, Laura determined that the cave towering between the cliffs in front of her might be the destination she was looking for on her trip.
Laura quickly climbed up the rock wall to the cave that had been artificially carved out of the rock wall.
"Is this really the place?" Suspicious, Laura went into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and Laura took out a glow stick to use as illumination.
As you go deeper into the cave, a boxy boulder stands inside a huge hollow.
Walk quickly to the boulder and see the ancient text carved on it.
"These seem to be some kind of indicators, and they seem really hard to decipher, and so on, the word is...... Prophet! That's it, my father was right. Laura looked at the familiar word prophet with a look of surprise.
Then she began to look around the cavern.
There are many portraits carved around the cave walls, from which Laura interprets some of the deeds of the prophet thousands of years ago.
Suddenly, faintly, Laura heard someone's conversation coming from a distance.
"Still haven't found her, and I don't think she survived this crash." The voice of a man searching for Laura's whereabouts could be heard faintly.
"Alright, let's go, Konstantin wants to enter the tomb before sunset." Another voice replied.
"Oh no, it's the same guy from the plane before, why are they tracking me down? Damn, they're looking for this tomb too, and they have to find it before they do. Hearing the conversation between the two, Laura sensed that things were not going well.
Soon, Laura found a blocked door, and after struggling to pry open the stone bricks blocking the doorway, Laura climbed in.
Along the passage, she soon saw an astonishing sight appear before her eyes.
On the other side of the passage is a huge valley with a mountain wall filled with ruins of ancient buildings, which are very dilapidated, crawling with greenery and the sound of falling water in the distance.
"It's spectacular, if my father could see this......" Laura muttered to herself as she watched the scene in front of her.
Then Laura quickly gathered her mood and prepared to continue to set off, after all, there are still those unknown people who are also looking for the ancient tomb, and she must hurry.
Following the dilapidated buildings, Laura made her way to the ruins built on the opposite rock face.
At this moment, the sound of the propellers of the plane came from a distance, and then Laura saw the helicopter that had attacked her flying overhead.
"Oops, they've arrived. It looks like you're going to have to hurry. ”
Then Laura sped up again, but the ruins were so dilapidated that they would collapse at the slightest touch, and after a difficult climb, Laura entered the ruins through a hole.
After entering the ruins, Laura began to find countless bones scattered on the ground around her, and a large number of poisonous insects attached to these bones.
Carefully avoiding the insects, Laura re-entered a corridor after opening a blocked passage.
It was also littered with countless corpses, all of which were killed in battle.
"It looks like a battle between armed soldiers and religious pilgrims." After sorting out the clothes on the corpse, Laura confirmed.
Moving on, the ruins were filled with countless traps on the way, but Laura was quick enough to dodge all the traps.
Rumble! Rumble!! Rumble!!!
Several explosions came in from outside.
"Oops, those bastards are clearing the way with bombs." Laura said in an air.
As her words fell, the ruins began to crumble, and the pavement beneath her feet collapsed instantly, and Lara fell with her.
But fortunately, it was not deep, and there was water underneath, so there was no damage.
After moving on, avoiding numerous traps along the way, Laura finally reached the destination of her trip, the Prophet's Tomb.
Looking at the tower towering in the middle of the ruins, Laura exclaimed, "It's amazing, I'm finally here, father." ”
At this time, the sound of an explosion was heard again, this time very close.
"Damn, they're coming in soon, I'm going to hurry."
Next, Lara followed the interior of the building, dodging countless traps, to the very top of the tower.
Looking at the sarcophagus placed on top of the tower, Laura knew that she had succeeded, and that the Prophet's body was buried inside.
Before and after walking, Laura pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus with great difficulty.
Looking at the empty sarcophagus, Laura was taken aback: "Empty? It's actually empty? Am I mistaken? No, no, I must have overstepped something! ”
Just as she was pondering what she was missing, a man's voice came from above, "Hey, what's wrong here?" ”
Then she saw some armed men descending from the roof of the cave along the ropes.
Looking at the open space around without the slightest cover, Laura quickly climbed into the empty sarcophagus and closed the coffin lid before the other party found out.
"Hurry up and set up the explosives." Lying inside the sarcophagus, Laura listened to the other party's voice.
As the footsteps approached, the voice came again, "The tomb of the prophet has finally been found." ”
"Antiquities?"
"If there are no accidents, what we are looking for is inside. Open it and be careful, the contents inside can be dangerous. The voice commanded.
Looking at the light gradually coming in from the outside, Laura knew that the sarcophagus was about to be opened.
Rumble!!
Just after the sarcophagus was opened, Laura quickly stood up and pointed a pistol at the man who appeared to be the leader.
"Who are you?"
"You're smart, I'm guessing you've known it for a long time." The leading man calmly pressed down his subordinates and pointed at Laura's gun and walked in.
"Holy Trinity." Laura said resentfully.
I am also very familiar with Trinity Laura.
The other side also appeared in Yamatai back then, and there was no major conflict between the two sides at that time.
Later, after her own digging deeper, Laura discovered from her father's notes and clues to the ruins that the ancient sect of the Holy Trinity was not a good thing at all.
"Where the hell are the relics?" The man in front of him looked at Laura calmly.
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Laura said in a deep voice.
"Don't play tricks with me, you are the one who led us here, you dare to say that you don't know." Seeing that Laura didn't say anything, the man thought Laura was pretending to be garlic.
"When I arrived, it was empty, there were no bodies, and there were no artifacts around." Laura was also confused about what the other party was looking for, and raised her hands to show that she really didn't know.
The man stared at Laura up and down, and saw that the other party didn't look like he could hide anything, and finally could only guess that she shouldn't be lying.
After taking two steps back and forth, the man thought for a while, and walked towards Laura with the dagger on his lap, because Laura was useless at the moment, and she would become a stumbling block for himself, so the man planned to get rid of Laura now.
Watching the man's movements, Laura just knew that something was wrong.
One step back, he pressed the button of the bomb detonator in his hand.
Seeing Laura's movements, the man was startled, looked at his waist, and saw that the bomb detonator that he had just hung on his waist was already in Laura's hands at this time, and she had already pressed the detonation button, and now as long as Laura pressed the detonation button, everything here would turn into dust.
"Get down, get down!" The man shouted loudly to his men.
And Laura's side is also very decisive, and it is completely impossible for her to be the opponent of these people now, so after climbing into the sarcophagus, she pressed the detonation button.
Rumble!!!
As the explosion sounded, the explosives installed above the dome of the ruins exploded.
The dome of the entire ruin collapsed from above, crushing most of the armed men of the Holy Trinity.
And Laura escaped being stoned to death under the protection of the sarcophagus.
After calming down a little, Laura decisively crawled out of the sarcophagus.
Now the top priority is to escape from this ruin immediately, because after the explosion just now, the entire ruin began to collapse in a large area, and if you don't leave, you will really be buried here alive.
And at the moment, no one cares about Laura, and everyone is busy running away.
After a desperate run for her life, Laura finally escaped before the ruins collapsed.
Looking at the huge flow of water gushing out from her side, Laura stood behind a stone pillar that blocked the flow of water and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she looked down, she suddenly saw a sign carved on the ground.
"What is this? I feel like I've seen it anywhere. Looking at the sign in front of her, Laura couldn't remember it for a while.
She then drew the sign and prepared to return to her home in London to look for clues.
……
The scene turns, and Laura's dream is once again in Crawford Manor in London.
At this time, Laura is looking for the information she needs in her own estate.
Suddenly the sound of the door opening came, and Laura suddenly stopped the movement in her hand and looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from.
As a familiar black charcoal head appeared in front of Laura's eyes, she suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Jonah!"
"Laura!"
The person who came was Jonah, who had been separated from Laura for a long time, and Jonah was even fatter at this time.
Three years ago, with the end of the Himiko incident.
Everyone on board the Fortitude hasn't seen each other much since they were separated, and Laura was pleasantly surprised by Jonah's appearance.
After a courtesy hug, Laura suddenly felt like she had found organization.
