Chapter 266: Thinking Mistakes
Laura doesn't quite understand the train of thought of an old madman like López.
He first went to Paytiti as a spy for the Holy Trinity to steal the artifact guarded by the other party, and after he succeeded, he decided to betray the Order for some reason.
After escaping incognito all the way to such a corner, he imitated the way the ancestors of Paittiti dealt with Ichchel's box, built an underground temple to hide it, and buried the lives of many fanatical followers of the Seven Tribulations, friends, and even himself.
If it is for her to come, she must first check the historical information to confirm that there is no strange setting that it takes many years for the two artifacts to merge to save the world, and then find two craters and throw things into them, isn't it better than building some treasure temple with such a painstaking old nose?
Silently complaining in her heart about these guys whose thoughts were not on the same channel as herself, Laura came to the stone pillar where López sealed herself and the silver box.
Two axes crack open the rubble wrapped around the outside, and Laura realizes that the coffin that the old madman has made for himself smells of body art.
The lower half of the body is wrapped in layers of waterproof tarpaulin like the mummy, and the outermost part is tied with a circle of hemp rope the thickness of a thumb.
Completely weathered and desiccated, López had his hands in front of him, clutching the strangely shaped Ichchel's box, and a rusty handful fell from his feet
Pistol.
"Webley revolver? I didn't expect you to have a lot of taste, but it's a pity that it's not gold-plated, and the bolt is all rusty. ”
Stretching out his toes and pulling the pistol on the ground, he looked at a skeleton lying forward not far away, and the entire underground temple was quite unstandard in the face of such a dead body.
Coupled with the bullet holes in his bones and the crater on the ground about a meter in front of him, this must have been another defector from the Holy Trinity Order who had been shot six times and committed suicide behind him.
Retracting her gaze from his mutilated bones, Laura turned back and reached out to the silver box that Lopez was holding in the crook of his arm.
But just as she was about to touch this strangely shaped ancient Mayan artifact, she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, and Laura remembered the nightmare dream that appeared twice.
"Wait! I seem to have fallen into the misconception of the past! Although Shadow Lara caused the beginning of a series of natural disasters by removing the dagger first, no one said that picking up the silver box first would not cause a natural disaster! ”
She could still guess by the contents of the frescoes in the Chuck Chel Temple, but the silver box was brought by López from the Temple of Ichichel to the underground temple that he had built, and the crucifixes around it were used to unlock the light trigger mechanism, which had nothing to do with ancient Mayan mythology.
"Alas, it was a mistake."
Laura withdrew her right hand in a wrenching voice, and began to think about what to do next.
"Forget it, contact Anna first to see what's going on on her side."
A few minutes after she sent the call request and was hung up, Anna's call came back:
"Laura, what's the matter, did you find that silver box?"
"I found it, but for some reason, I don't dare to touch it for the time being, how are you doing there?"
"Then you have to be careful, Dr. Domingis and Rourke left in the early hours of the morning by helicopter, and they also went to look for the silver box."
Laura frowned, then glanced at the time, and continued to ask:
"And who's in charge of the Chakchel Temple right now? Do you know where those two guys are going? ”
"I'm in charge of this side for the time being, the inside of the temple is indeed as you said, the passage is very badly blocked by all kinds of collapsed objects, and considering the structural problems, Dominguez has left a dead order not to blast from the top. I don't know where they are going. ”
Hearing this, Laura estimated the time and directly called up the monitoring footage of her own and Stark industrial satellites in orbit for the past six hours, and finally Rachel found that the helicopter that Domingis was riding disappeared after entering the primeval jungle of the Amazon in Peru.
Although they are both in Peru, their location and Laura's location are still quite far away, so there is only one explanation left, and that is that Dominguez returned to his hometown of Paithiti to find more clues about the silver box.
"I've found them, how's the progress on Trinity's side?"
"Wait a minute."
Anna left for about a minute before coming back online:
"According to the progress reported by the construction team, it will take more than three days, or even longer, to be optimistic. The terrain of Temple Reef does not allow for the use of heavy machinery, and they are now digging passages entirely by hand. ”
Laura mentally calculated the time, and then reconfirmed the coordinates on the map where Domingis and the others had last appeared before they disappeared.
"Anna, I have to go somewhere else, the Chakchel Temple will continue to trouble you, contact if there is any change in the situation!"
"Okay, I'm okay here, you have to pay attention to your own safety."
After the communication was disconnected, Laura glanced at Ichchel's box, which was tightly held in López's arms.
"The stealth function of the Best armor is still very useful to Paitti, and there is Anna, a super desperate warrior, guarding the dagger... In that case, it's better to leave the Archon here. ”
As her words fell, the domineering-looking Archon armor appeared out of thin air in the underground temple.
"Rachel, you've been in control of the Archon during my absence, and your mission is to protect the silver box this guy is carrying. If someone enters, if it is a civilian, it will be stunned, and if it is the Holy Trinity, then it will be killed directly! ”
"Roger, but the Archon Armor is not equipped with non-lethal weapons, please leave me a riot drone loaded with rubber bullets and stun bullets."
Laura patted her head, she had forgotten about this stubble, so she quickly took out the riot drone that Rachel wanted from the space.
When everything was arranged, she put on her Best armor and quietly left St. John's Monastery under the cover of mist.
At this time, Tony, who was far away in New York, had just finished designing a special armor and asked Jarvis to start manufacturing according to the blueprints.
Pepper had been in Africa for a few days at a meeting he couldn't remember, and he didn't feel sleepy after a busy night, so he began to sit down at his workbench and swipe through the various information on the screen.
"Huh? Laura, how many photos did that guy take with my satellite from Mexico to Peru? What is this for? Tut-tut, I have to say that the level of photography is really poor, is she really a girl? ”
If it were normal, Da Shao wouldn't have looked at these things. But he wasn't just bored at the moment, so he just moved a few pictures to the screen and began to study them.
