Chapter 674: The Mysterious Employer
"She, where was she hiding before?" Emma held that position, asking me incredulously.
"Hiding in a place that you can't understand, in fact, I think that you don't continue to be a black market fighter, but become the bodyguard of that tin can, the most fundamental reason is that you are afraid of death." moved her body a little, and she was really miserable when she cleaned it up just a few times. "If I were you, I would have continued to put my gun against the enemy's head just now, and the big deal would be that the fish would die and the net would be broken."
"I don't think I need to do that, handsome man from the East, at least, I don't feel the smell of blood and carnage from you. If the fish dies, I'm dead, and I don't have to do that for a job as a bodyguard. After the initial panic, Emma's tone gradually calmed down.
"Oh, you're a wise lady." I touched Emma's body and searched for her gun, the dagger strapped to her boots, and the chocolates in her pocket. Then leaned against the wall, peeled off the wrapper of the chocolate and took a hard bite, "Actually, we still have a lot of time now, mind telling me about the purpose of your trip?" ”
"The purpose of our trip? Can I sit down and talk? It's a really uncomfortable position. Emma shrugged slightly.
"Yes, but let's be concise, at least, I still want to go out for dinner, chocolate or something, although the energy is enough, but it can't fill my stomach." It doesn't matter if she has a scythe on her neck, standing or sitting. He took another bite of the chocolate and threw the remaining half to Emma, who was sitting on the ground.
"You really don't have the gentlemanly demeanor to let a lady eat your saliva." Emma said this, but her hand did not stop, peeling off the wrapper and stuffing the chocolate into her mouth.
"I'm not a gentleman by heart. Especially when it comes to torturing enemies, then tell me why you're here? ”
"Coming here? As has already been said, a charming Chinese girl approached the professor and said that the remains of her ancestors were in this tomb, and hoped that the professor would get them out, and in return, the girl promised to give the professor a large sum of money, and told the professor that he could see something mysterious here that he had never seen before. ”
"Something mysterious?" I don't know what this mystery refers to.
"That's right. We followed the girl's instructions into the tomb, and as soon as we entered the tombway, we encountered a strange creature with the body of a spider and a human head, which the professor said was a miraculous work of art, which he had never seen even in the pyramids of Egypt. Emma's face showed a look of obvious disgust, "But that thing is obviously just a gatekeeper, and the professor handed the dagger that the Chinese girl gave him to the big spider, and the big spider let us over." ”
"You mean, the dagger engraved with blue letters is a token from the client to you?" My brow furrowed, it seemed that they were the same woman as the spider monster said, but what was the purpose of this woman? And the blue letter, which is obviously newly engraved, so what does it represent?
"Yes, that's it. The armor on the professor's body was also designed according to the drawings of the employer, a military exoskeleton, some cameras and sensors, and a fully enclosed metal shell, and the joints were all soft metal, after being sealed, there was no internal and external contact, and this is how the professor sealed the nostrils of those ancient corpses with glue according to his orders. It can be said that all the way has been expected by the client, except for the scorpion at the entrance. ”
Emma's face showed a bit of regret, and it was clear that the person who died in the scorpion tunnel was not only her companion, but also had a good relationship with her.
"What else did the woman tell you?" Judging from the movements of these foreigners, the woman who guided them here seems to have stopped at the Hundred Coffin Formation, otherwise the strange river below would not have stopped them for so long, and it also gave them a human life.
I couldn't help but think of the Premonitory Society, and then vetoed it, the people of the Precursor Society do have a certain understanding of the place outside the main hall, but the Precursor Society is afraid that it does not have the financial resources to invite someone to do it, and now that the stone has returned to the village of the Premonitory Society, the people over there should be much more peaceful, and the stone also knows the secret of the river. So, could it be someone from the Bay Organization? The woman hidden behind the curtain can be said to have great powers, if she wants to come in, these organs are difficult to rely on, so why use the hands of foreigners?
"No, she said there was only so much she could tell us, and that we had to explore what was under the hall. By the way, the woman called herself Miss Lin. ”
Emma's words made me frown again, Miss Lin, this is really a tangled surname. I've been reflexed by those guys now, and as soon as something happens, the mastermind starts to put on the people around me, and there are really a lot of people around me who are surnamed Lin. First of all, Lin Yixin, then Sister Yixin's pseudonym was Lin Yixin, and then my cousin Jing'er and my mother were surnamed Lin......
"Do you remember what that woman looked like?"
"Oh, how is that possible, you know, in our eyes, you Orientals all look the same." Emma shrugged her shoulders in regret.
Emma knew less than I thought, or even their heads, the Professor's Armored Man probably didn't know much. According to Emma's confession, the professor's name is Professor, but he is actually a tomb robber under the guise of archaeology, the white Jerry is his student, and the black John, like Emma, is the bodyguard hired by the professor.
The wound on my body was not so painful, I took off Emma's coat, tore it into strips of cloth, tied her hands and feet, and threw it in the small room above, as for the mouth, I didn't plan to block it, she was happy to shout, then shout, as for whether it would attract something like the fire salamander that day, it depended on her luck.
According to my experience last time, I kept looking for the southern gate to walk, and soon I walked out of the Bingding Gate.
The other four doors showed no sign of opening at all, and it was clear that the professor and his two helpers had not yet come out. Alas, this Five Elements Gate is a nightmare for people who don't know the doorway, and I was in the mood to torture Emma in the Yongdao before, also because I knew that the professors would never be able to get out of the Five Elements Gate before me.
Now, I'm faced with a question that makes me a little tangled, do I go in and find them one by one? Or are you waiting here for them to come out and solve them one by one? Or am I just going to go inside the main chamber and wait for them to see what they're going to do?
To be honest, these three are very embarrassing, and if you go in and find them, the danger is a bit big, after all, people have guns, and wait for them to come out...... Who knows when they'll come out.
Forget it, let's see what they want to do, I got up early today, I'm a little tired all the way, why don't I go to the tomb to rest first, if I have rested and they haven't come in, I'll clean up the bones of my previous life, leave here on my back, and find another place to bury it. When you're in a better mood, come here to see them again.
That's right, I'm in a good mood to come and see them, after everyone came in, many stone doors in the tomb have been closed, and the only gold token that can open the tomb door is in my hand, they come in, don't think about going out.
After passing through the armory room and the Shura field where the three hundred Xianbei cavalry had been killed, he returned to the simple tomb of the Wumourning Heavenly King again, but this time, without Li Nong, the king of Qi, to greet him, the lights on the four walls were not lit again. Alas, Brother Li Nong, it's time to be reincarnated, I hope you can have a good home in this life.
Just as I was thinking about finding a place to rest, there was a sound of a stone door opening in the back of the tomb. It's so fast, I really thought that there were masters among these three people, and they walked out of the Five Elements Gate so quickly. I quickly dodged behind a stone pillar in the tomb, still letting the little poem in the bottle cover my eyes.
A moment later, a flashlight shone in from outside, followed by two rows of white fangs floating in from outside. Uh, well, I read it wrong, it's that black John, this guy doesn't know how to get it, shirtless, the clothes on his upper body are gone, faintly, I can still smell some blood, I must have been injured in the corridor.
However, what I couldn't understand was that after scanning the tomb with a flashlight, the black strong man did not find a way to light the braziers sticking out of the walls, nor did he check what was valuable in the tomb, but hid behind the sarcophagus with his AUG assault rifle.
Could it be that he found out that someone had arrived here first? No, if he found out that I had come in before him, he should at least have thoroughly inspected the tomb first, and his posture was not right, it seemed that he was not guarding against someone in the tomb, but to ambush the people who came behind.
A strange thought came to my mind, could it be that this strong black man, after finding out that he was the first to enter the tomb, wanted to eat the black, kill the professor and Jerry, and take the treasure for himself? It's really interesting, is the real-life version of black eating black?
However, I immediately rejected this idea, the layout of this tomb is very simple, there is no treasure or anything that makes people blush, is it that the task of this black man is to extinguish his mouth?
Interesting.
