296. [Tomb Raider 9] No one wants to escape!

"I've lived for a long, long time," Nan Xiao said, "and I've learned one thing, fate can't decide everything." Everyone has a choice. β
"You ......"
"You must have a lot of questions, right?"
"......Who the hell are you?"
"Angels, gods, different civilizations have different names. Now, the word superhero is more popular. β
"Are there really superheroes?"
"Yes, but it's very rare. As far as I know, I'm the only one left. β
"I still don't understand...... Why are you here? β
This is a good question, Nan Xiao thought for two seconds: "In order to avoid the destruction of the world at the hands of an evil spirit." β
"Evil Spirit...... You mean, Himiko? The Queen of the Sun? β
"The Queen of the Sun is just in the name of a pretense. Himiko is actually an ancient evil spirit. A long, long time ago, it stole the body of a Fuso woman and spoke through her mouth, demanding that people worship themselves. But the human body is made up of lifespan and will gradually age. Therefore, it established a priesthood system, selecting intelligent and beautiful women to accompany the palace, and choosing the most satisfactory new body from them. When the old body is too old to support it, it performs a rite of inheritance and occupies a new body. β
"Yes, that's right!" Laura was deeply shocked, "So, what about now?" Is the Sun Queen still alive? β
"I think that the shipwreck of the Perseverance and the reason why everyone is stranded on the island should be the reason for it," Nan Xiao couldn't help but say all the settings, after all, these are shocking enough at the moment, "I need to go deeper into this island, find out all the details of this ancient evil spirit, and finally destroy it." Laura," he called Laura's name, "will you help me?" β
"This ...... Of course...... Oh my God, but I don't know your real name yet? β
"For now, Nan Xiao is my name."
"Okay, Nanxiao, what should we do next?"
"Light a fire, of course, so that the rescue plane can see us. They need a clear sign to airdrop supplies, don't they? β
"Yes, yes."
"So, let's go to the opposite cliff, where there is a fuel depot of the old Japanese army."
In the next second, Nan Xiao took Laura and teleported to the opposite cliff. They quickly found the fuel canister and opened some gasoline to come out. The gasoline is of poor quality, yellow as bile, but it's okay to ignite. Laura found some damp firewood, dipped it in gasoline and lit it, and soon a large bonfire was built.
The black smoke filled the air, and it should be very clear to look at it in the air.
The sound of engines came from far and near, and a four-engine propeller plane came towards the smoke.
"Here!" Laura happily waved at the plane, jumping and jumping.
Just then, suddenly dark clouds rolled up in the sky. Inky black clouds instantly shrouded the plane. Lightning and thunder among the clouds. A huge lightning bolt hit the plane with a deafening popping sound.
"Don't let anyone try to escape!" The sound from the wind sounded like a curse, muffled and vicious.
Another lightning bolt struck the plane. The four engines, the tail, the wings, the cab, all began to catch fire.
"It's ......," Laura stared at the plane in horror.
"It's ......," Nan Xiao muttered.
Although everyone says the same sentence, the meaning is completely different.
Just now, Nan Xiao clearly felt that the few traces of divinity that were devoured reacted. They seem to have a natural affinity for thunderstorms. Nan Xiao noticed that he seemed to be able to control the rain clouds in the same way. This is the best way to learn. Himiko almost unabashedly showed him how to control the rain, and he benefited a lot.
Yes, yes, that's what I want to see!
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the flow of divine power in the air. Himiko's classic rain control technique was an eye-opener for him. It turns out that the forces of nature can still be mobilized in this way? If you compare the world to a game. That is, I have never known that if I want to rain, I have to go to the Dragon King Temple to kowtow to incense, I never thought that I would press f to call out the console, and directly enter the words "thunder and rain". That's too buggy, isn't it?
Looking at the oncoming big plane on fire, Laura closed her eyes tightly, hugged Nan Xiao's neck, and shrunk into his arms.
It's going to be hit! It's going to be hit!
And yetγNothing happens?
Just kidding...... How can it be okay?
Laura secretly opened her eyes and found that a pair of wings behind Nan Xiao bent over at some point and protected her in the middle.
The big plane on fire had landed on the other side of the cliff. I don't know what method Nan Xiao used, in short, such a big plane smashed down, but it didn't catch a little bit.
"I'm leaving." Nan Xiao said suddenly.
"Huh?" Laura was surprised.
"I'm sorry, but this evil spirit has become more dangerous. As you saw just now, she shot down that plane," Nan Xiao said, "and I need to get away for a while to prepare how to get rid of it." I'm sorry, I can't take you with me. β
"Am I going to hold you back?" Laura seemed a little frustrated and depressed, "I know, I can't do anything......"
Nan Xiao comforted with kind words: "No, you have persevered so far along the way, and you have done a good job." I'm leaving for a while, not because I feel like you're holding you back, but because I need to take care of some other important business. And you, there are many more people who need your help. See those two parachutes? The pilots are still alive, and they definitely need help, right? β
Encouraging, Laura perked up again in a blink of an eye: "Okay, I'll definitely go and save them!" β
"Well, please. Also, if you need help, I'll definitely come to you. I have a hunch that you will be a very crucial factor in this battle with evil spirits. β
Laura is scrappy: "I will definitely help you!" β
"One more thing. Can I ask you to keep my true identity a secret? So far, only you know that this is a very important little secret. β
"Well, I'm definitely not going to tell anyone."
"Great, thank you."
Nan Xiao smiled, put Laura down, and then teleported away.
Laura was stunned, looked around, and made sure that Nan Xiao had left. "Angels? Evil spirits? She muttered to herself, "What kind of fight are we involved in......
At that moment, her walkie-talkie rang, and it was Ross calling. "Laura," he asked, "I saw the plane falling, very close to my position. So I think you're around there too, huh? β
"Yes."
"Then move closer to me."
"No," Laura refused, "I saw the parachutist emit smoke for help, and I'm going to save him." β
Rose tried to persuade, "Laura, you can't save everyone. Sometimes, you have to learn to give up. β
Laura resolutely refused: "No, I can't watch him die." β
"Laura......
Laura cut off the call.
Soon, Alex also came to contact: "Hi Laura, Rose has told us about the crash. Don't worry, we can find other ways to leave, can't we? β
"I hope so, too, is there any news from Sanmantha?"
"She didn't seem to be able to escape from the bandits. We found out that she had been taken to an old Japanese imperial palace. β
ββ¦β¦ That's not good. You must protect yourselves. β
