Chapter 158: Laura's Dream
Laura, for her part, fell into a dream after falling into a coma.
The scene shifts to Laura dreaming of London that happened two weeks ago.
On a rainy night, Laura walks alone in a small alley in London.
From the way she looked back from time to time, it could be seen that Laura was hiding from someone at this time.
Soon she came to an old house.
Taking out the key, Laura opened the door to the house and walked in.
The previous owner of the house belonged to Laura's father, who worked here when Laura was a child.
After entering the house, she was afraid of being discovered by the people who followed her, and Laura did not dare to turn on the lights in the house, so she could only follow the faint light of the flashlight to search for something in the house.
Soon Laura saw that the tape recorder left by her father was placed on the table, and when she stepped forward and looked at the activated buttons, Laura fell back.
After pressing play, a man's voice came over the tape recorder, and Laura realized that it was the voice of her deceased father.
"Life is like a merciless river, everything is fleeting."
Laura listens to her father's message while searching for useful clues in the house.
"We will grow old, we will decline, we will die." The tape recorder was constantly releasing Laura's father's calm narration.
At this time, Laura's flashlight shines on the portrait of a woman.
If Chen Fan was also here at this time, he would immediately recognize that the woman in the portrait was the portrait of Himiko who he killed at that time.
Laura's flashlight paused on Himiko's portrait and continued to shine elsewhere, while the sound of the tape recorder continued to hear.
"But what are we left behind? A pile of bones? Or dust? What about our souls? After the flesh returns to dust, is it thrown back into the world? I'm sure it will. There is a truth at the heart of many myths and stories. β
Hearing this, Laura felt great admiration for her father's speculation.
If I hadn't experienced Himiko myself, I wouldn't have believed this nonsense.
"This is not the truth of science, but something more esoteric, something that will solve the mystery of eternal life."
Hearing this, Laura muttered to herself, "Is there really an eternal existence?" Even an existence as powerful as Himiko needs to change its body regularly, is there a more powerful existence than Himiko? Could Chen Fan be that kind of existence? β
"I may have found the next clue. However, I'm not the only searcher. They were following me and watching my every move. Now I know that they are the Holy Trinity, an ancient and murderous sect that seeks to control the future of humanity. For the sake of my beloved family, I have to act carefully. If something happens to Laura or Anna, I'll never be able to forgive myself. β
Hearing this, Laura suddenly thought of something, no one here knows except herself and Anna, and Anna is obviously not here at the moment, so who was listening to the tape recorder before?
This discovery made her immediately alarmed.
Laura took a quick look around the room and saw that the window had been opened.
So I walked quickly to the window and looked at it, and found that there were no suspicious people outside.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside, and Laura guessed that it might be the person who had entered the room earlier.
Immediately picked up the pickaxe placed in the corner of the wall and walked quickly to the door to ambush him, ready to overturn this person the moment the uninvited guest came in.
Listening to the sound of approaching footsteps, Laura raised her pickaxe.
The door opened, and just as Laura was about to make a move, someone came to find Laura, who was preparing to attack.
"Laura, it's me!" Someone came to stop Laura.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Laura hurriedly put down the pickaxe in her hand.
"Anna, oh my God, I'm so sorry. How did you end up here? Laura looked in amazement at the woman who appeared in front of her, this woman was her father's girlfriend, and Anna treated her like a daughter.
"I saw you being scribbled again on the gossip news. I think you might need someone to keep you company. Anna handed over the newspaper in her hand.
Laura, who took the newspaper handed over by Anna, looked at it, and found that the newspaper was writing that she was crazy again, and mocking her father, Laura said angrily: "What nonsense, have you been followed?" β
Laura poked her head out the door.
"Tracking? Of course not, what's going on? Looking at Laura's strange demeanor, Anna asked curiously.
After securing the door, Laura walked quickly towards the house, "I think I found the ancient tomb, the legend of the prophet is true, my father is not wrong." β
"Laura, your dad may ......," Anna said hesitantly.
"He's fine, he's already found this great discovery, concrete evidence of that immortal soul." Laura defended her father loudly.
"Laura, I love Richard, so I don't want you to end up like him." Anna pulled back Laura's body as she leaned over to find something.
"But Anna, he's right, it's someone else's judgment that is wrong, do you remember when I came back from Yamatai three years ago? That legend is true, I experienced it myself. Laura looked at Anna earnestly.
"That tomb is in Syria, I need to go there."
"Syria? Oh my God, Laura, are you crazy, no, it's too messy over there. Hearing that Laura was about to go to Syria, Anna exclaimed.
"Listen to my Laura, settle down and go home quickly." Anna stepped forward and said earnestly to Laura.
"You know I can't go back, I have my reasons."
Knowing that she couldn't dissuade Laura, Anna had no choice but to go with her.
β¦β¦
Then, Laura's dream changed again.
This time, she has arrived on a Gobi in Syria.
After paying a sum of money, Laura finds a local to act as a guide and drives her towards the place where the tomb is located.
"Hey, we're heading to the war zone now, are you really sure you're going there?" The guide on the bus confirmed again to Laura, who was sitting next to her.
"Yes, it's almost there, there should be an oasis in the canyon ahead." Laura looked at the navigator in her hand and said to the guide.
"You're wasting your time, there's nothing here."
"Please, please keep going."
"Okay, it's all your money, you decide."
Just as the two were about to reach their destination, a helicopter gunship flew over their heads.
"Something isn't quite right." Glancing at the gunship that suddenly appeared in front of him, Laura arrived very suspiciously.
This helicopter Laura looks like it is not at all owned by official Syria, but rather an aircraft of some kind of armed group.
"That's ...... Well, that's just the militia. The tour guide, who was nervous by Laura, said in a huff.
"No, it's all for us, did you tell anyone about me?" Looking at the helicopter and the tour guide following behind her at this moment, Laura instantly understood that she had been betrayed.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the tour guide admitted very honestly, "They are much more generous than you." β
"Damn, you're damned." Laura looked at the tour guide in front of her with a natural expression, and was suddenly inexplicably angry.
While the two were arguing, the helicopter behind them finally opened fire.
The powerful airborne cannon slammed into the jeep.
When the tour guide saw the other party firing, his face was immediately full of horror, "What's the matter?" Damn, they shouldn't have fired at us, they just said they would follow, they didn't say they would kill us. β
Looking at the naΓ―ve tour guide in front of her, Laura was now angry and had nowhere to go, so she could only bow her head and curl up to avoid the bullet shooting.
"Hurry up and get me on the gas, take me out of here." At this time, Laura didn't have much to do.
The tour guide drove the car to increase the throttle and dodged the plane's strafing, scolding the hatefulness in his mouth.
But obviously, how can the speed of a car be compared to the speed of getting on a plane.
After the gunship had accelerated to make a U-turn, the plane's on-board guns fired bullets head-on at the jeep.
After a clang, Laura, the main character, is lucky to be unscathed.
However, the tour guide who was driving the car on the side was not so lucky, and was directly hit by a bullet into a hornet's nest and received the lunch box instantly.
Looking at the dead guide, Laura panicked.
Because there are fewer people driving, the car has lost control.
Seeing this, Laura hurriedly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel in an attempt to regain control of the car.
But the car was too fast before, and now it lost control and hit headfirst on a large rock in front of it.
In an instant, the car flew off and then rolled on its side on the road.
Laura, who was dumped, was also very lucky this time, but she was a little dizzy from being hit.
Looking at the car that had begun to leak oil, Laura knew that if she didn't leave, she would be blown up later.
After struggling to climb out of the car, Laura staggered away from the car.
However, before she could run far, the car exploded, and the air wave from the explosion directly blew her out and fell towards the cliff on the side.
In a panic, Laura waved the pickaxe she had grabbed in her hand.
Just as she was about to fall off the cliff, the pickaxe finally plunged into the rock.
However, due to the speed at which she fell, the rocks of the Kama's pickaxe shattered after Laura's body paused.
Laura's body fell down the cliff again.
Fortunately, there was a protruding platform underneath, and Laura was lucky enough to fall on top of it.
Although her life was held, Laura was still thrown hard.
After a painful struggle, the pain subsided, and Laura struggled to her feet and looked around.
Soon Laura found that she could no longer climb, and that there was only a path around her that was exposed on the rock wall, so Laura had no choice but to follow the path to find her way out.
After walking for a while, Laura suddenly found that the scene in front of her was very familiar, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered that her father's message seemed to mention the scene in front of her.
Hurriedly took out his father's tape recorder from his small bag, turned it on and listened.
