8 Solomon's Blade
Li Tian jumped up and flicked the soil on the sleeve tube, and he could still laugh out loud: "Chen Ying knew a long time ago that you were a dangerous enemy. Now it seems-"
The swift whirl of the wind struck him on the neck. At this moment, his back was pressed against the stone wall, and the black and silent stone wall seemed to move instantly, turning into countless ropes wrapped around him.
"Of course, Mr. Chen is a rare figure in the Chinese world, and the big country is always better than Mr. Lai's home country, Vietnam, Feng Shui, so you have nothing to regret if you lose him. Charlotte didn't sense the approaching crisis, just smiled smugly and teased.
Confused, Li Tian raised his hand and grabbed it at his throat, but his movements were still a little slower, and his arms were wrapped in black ropes.
"Uh...... "He bent his knees and wrestled, as if trying to jump off the stone wall he was leaning on, but the boulders on the ground also changed, and as far as my eyes could see, large clumps of ropes wriggled silently, twisting and turning around him.
Charlotte saw something, took a small half step forward, and exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Chen, what tricks is he playing?"
I raised my left arm to stop her: "Don't go over and have an accident. ”
"He seems to be tied up by something, but I can't see anything, what's wrong?" Charlotte immediately tensed.
"What's going on—" Li Tian's breathing was short, his face had swelled dark red from suffocation, his arms were clinging to his sides, and he couldn't make any movements. He never asked me for help, it was a haughty man's nature, and I probably would have done the same.
My right hand reached into my trouser pocket, clutching the handle of the knife, and cold sweat continued to ooze from my palm. Drawing a sword to save people, you must attack the enemy, and you must save it, and you must kill it with one blow, but now I can't see where the enemy's vital point is, and I can only perceive the treacherous and vicious wind and the ropes formed by the stone wall.
"Mr. Chen, he seems to be suffocating to death, do you want to save him?" Charlotte couldn't hold back and reminded in a low voice.
With a click, the camera landed in Li Tian's hand, and it smashed into the large ball of rope under his feet, and it was immediately entangled. The hallucination that Leng Xin had fallen on a large piece of entwined body swept through my mind, and her body trembled, and her right hand drew a knife almost uncontrollably, and shot it straight to the side of Li Tian's neck.
At that moment, my subconscious thought of him as a knife shot by Leng Xin, with all the worries on it. Regardless of whether or not the phantom that bound Li Tian had something to do with Leng Xin's disappearance, I was so angry at these unexplained hallucinations that I wished that a large flamethrower in my hand had burned the ugly ropes under his feet.
Li Tianshu shouted: "Save me - take the knife!"
The gust of wind retreated slightly, and finally gave him a chance to breathe, and with a twist of his left wrist, the knife landed between his index and middle fingers, and then flicked his fingers, and the knife flew upside down towards me. Being able to throw the talisman knife to me in the moment of life and death is also equivalent to entrusting me with our own survival, and at this moment we are not enemies, but allies in a certain sense.
"What's wrong with Mr. Chen, what can you see?" said Charlotte's voice in a sharp and horrified voice.
"You don't care about yourself—" I looked over to Shevie, who stood as silently as everyone else in the room, completely unconscious.
"Help me take care of her if something happens. I smiled and pointed at Sylvie. Of course, under the current situation, the first to fall into the predicament is Li Tian, and the others may not be spared. It seemed to me that the wriggling ropes had an unfathomable power, as if they could transform the entire pyramid into one of its kind, and every visitor who entered the tower would be their delight.
Li Tian fell, perhaps in Charlotte's eyes, he just fell backwards, lying flat on the ground, and there was no obvious danger. At this moment, the sight that appeared in the eyes of the two of us was completely different, and the degree of rope wriggling suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to drag Li Tian into the depths of the earth.
I slid forward, swinging my life's light skills to the extreme, my toes swept over the top of the tumbling rope, and I immediately flicked my knife around Li Tian's body, slashing lightly around his body, and at the same time reaching out and grabbing his right shoulder.
"Danger—" Li Tian breathed out two words, and wrapped his right arm around my left arm.
The knife in my hand castrated slightly, slashed diagonally on the ground, and with the help of force, it flipped upside down, dragged Li Tian, and jumped into the depths of the road.
"The further you go in, the more dangerous it is, you misjudged, Chen Ying, use the airborne troops' internal rotation and qi control method—" Li Tian's words were like a roaring submachine gun, stopping and screaming in the two seconds from the time we jumped to the time we landed. "Internal rotation and anti-air" is an advanced technique for the airborne troops to jointly control the degree of descent after collectively jumping out of the cabin, and it is simply impossible to use it in this kind of terrain.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, I immediately understood what Li Tian meant, because the boulder ground, which had been flat and solid, was now softer than a thousand-year-old swamp, and greeted everyone's feet silently. Just the swamp mud was falling, and I distinctly felt dozens of throbbing ropes catapulting like snakes around my arms, neck, chest, and then quickly tightening.
"Oh no!" Li Tian jerked his arms to bounce again, but his condition was worse than mine, and the more he forced, the faster he fell.
The gust of wind flashed behind us, paused, and suddenly increased in size tenfold, more than like a monster with a bloody mouth open and devoured Li Tian and me on the head. The feeling was real and terrifying, I could even feel that it had teeth and lips and tongue, and I could smell the wind and smell.
The knife was still in my hand, but my right hand was tightly bound, and I couldn't move, and in an instant, my whole body was enveloped by a strange wind. It is colorless and invisible, so I can still see the stone wall on the opposite side, the tourists in the corridor, in fact, we are all "swallowed" by it, and at the moment it is in its belly.
I took a long breath, and suddenly rushed up from the middle of the dantian, and blurted out a long howl. Buddhism's "King Kong Lion's Roar" is currently the only means that can counter it, and fighting the strange wind with the same invisible sound waves can only be a convoluted strategy in adversity.
It was in turmoil, but I was still in more and more severe suffocation, and when I took a second breath, I already felt the lack of oxygen in my chest, and I could sink into the dantian after turning three times.
"I just want you to trade the 'Sea of Gold' for a little thought, but you don't want to. Now I've changed my mind, and I want all of your souls and energies, including your physical bodies, to come together, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......, hey
"I'm ...... Won't die in ...... Here's ...... I know all the secrets...... All secrets ...... "Li Tian breathes hard, life and death are only in one night."
"What's the secret?" the voice was mocking.
"The secrets of the sea of gold, the secrets of the world beneath the Great Pyramids, the secrets of the pharaohs who mummified themselves, and so on...... I know the magic of curses, curses, I know ......" Li Tian's mood became extremely uncalm. As a staff member of a special department, he should not forget the mantra of "the more you know, the faster you die".
I gave up fighting against the ropes, and sat between the wriggling monsters, letting them roam around me and tighten in circles.
"How do you know? Do you know how to decipher the code of the 'pyramid energy'?" the voice became kind.
Li Tian gasped for a while, and suddenly spat out a series of strange notes. These sounds, which sound familiar to me, do not belong to any region of the earth, or rather, they are not a language at all, but just dry syllables that have no substance. Coincidentally, the mysterious disappearance of the Dragon Elephant Girl also made a similar sound.
The voice suddenly raised at the same time as Li Tian, and the incomprehensible voice lasted for more than a minute, and then this person's voice shouted at the same time in a high-pitched voice, like the whistling of the herdsmen on the grassland when they shouted at the horses.
"Mr. Chen?" Charlotte tentatively told me to slowly approach this way.
I immediately reminded her loudly, "Don't come in danger!
"Mr. Chen, can you hear me?" she listened to the roar of my best efforts, and suddenly reached into her waist and pulled out a soft knife two feet long. When she tried to attack Li Tian, I had already judged that she was not an ordinary person who only knew how to spend money and enjoy pleasures, and was profligate and powerless.
The back of the knife was embedded with a series of brilliant large diamonds, and the sparkling light was clearly visible within twenty steps, illuminating the dark space environment a lot.
I have seen Wang Lao Wu's peerless knife "Xiaolou listens to the spring rain all night", but compared with Charlotte's knife, it is much less famous. When the light of the sword was on, I was already silently exclaiming in my heart: "Solomon's blade—"
"Why?......?
Li Tian roared wildly, and a thick and rugged green tendon jumped out of his forehead, from the corner of his left eyebrow to the right side.
I don't know what he's talking about for a moment, but the voice of the gust of wind grows softer and more humble: "Is there anything wrong with keeping a promise, of course, and those who break it will be punished? Isn't it a great cheap thing to exchange a tiny part of people's minds for a sea of gold, and at least a few hundred million of them can be divided into hundreds of millions of parts?
Li Tian struggled desperately, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in bouncing up, but his hoarse voice interrupted the gust of wind: "Thousands of people? Hmph, who can unlock the code but me? I can guarantee that I am the only one who has this ability, and no one can understand your language except me." ”
There were many secrets hidden in their conversation, so I couldn't interject, but I vaguely noticed that they were talking about a very important business, and Li Tian had known about the existence of this strange wind before.
Charlotte's arms shook, and the "Solomon's Blade" suddenly shook straight, and the diamonds on the back of the knife lined up in a line, reflecting a strange white light forward, like an assault lighting flashlight mounted on a submachine gun.
"Mr. Chen, I'm here to save you, don't worry. She cautiously moved forward, keeping her eyes in front of her and her feet in front of her. Judging from the appearance of Li Tian and I falling repeatedly, she should be able to tell that something is wrong on the ground.
"Kill her!" Li Tian suddenly sneered and said three words.
The ropes around him were much looser, and he no longer felt the strength to speak.
"Good. The gust of wind readily agreed, treating human life as if it were grass. It can swallow me and Li Tian to deal with Charlotte, so naturally it won't be difficult.
I immediately stopped them by shouting: "Don't touch her, she has nothing to do with your secrets. Why should the fish in the pond be affected by the fire at the city gate?"
I have known Charlotte for less than an hour, and it is only an absolute meeting with Pingshui, which is why I refuse to let Li Tian and that gust of wind wantonly kill innocents. The scene of Li Tian killing the Guardians of the Death Soul is still fresh in my memory, he has the usual perverseness and cold-bloodedness of Vietnamese men, and when he disagrees, he immediately kills the killer and is reckless to achieve his goal.
"Chen Ying, you can't tell if she has anything to do with me, and neither can I, but for the sake of safety, I can only meet one step by one, kill the other, including you. Li Tian revealed the true nature of a madman and refuted me categorically.
"Killing a person will only reduce the burden on the earth, and after death, human beings decay and transform into waste materials urgently needed by the soil, so as to achieve the purpose of saving secondary circulation and energy regeneration. I agree with Mr. Li Tian's opinion, what about you?" the gust of wind turned to me in the distance.
At this point, Charlotte was only three steps away from us, and the tip of the knife was about to pierce into the wind's cover.
"That's all I can do, survival of the fittest is the fundamental law of natural survival, I'm sorry—" The gust of wind passed over my head and seemed to split into two equal parts, one staying in place and the other hitting Charlotte.
I let out a long howl, my waist and knees broke free from all restraints, and I jumped wildly, and the King Kong lion roared to the extreme, and there was a roar like a cracked stone piercing the clouds.
Suddenly, I heard a huge echo, and the entire corridor was shaking in sound waves.
Charlotte finally stabbed the sword, which combined with my lion's roar to destroy the devouring jaw that the wind had conjure. As a series of crackling sparks exploded, the illusion of wind and ropes disappeared, and the ventilation system inside the pyramid sent a light breeze, and my breathing became extremely pleasant again.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright?" Charlotte smiled with joy on her face, and hid the "Blade of Solomon" again in time, casually brushing away the mess that was stuck to her forehead with cold sweat, "I was just scared of me, and you shouted at you, but you glared at me and didn't answer, and ...... And the expression on his face was so painful—"
In European legends, the "Blade of Solomon" is inextricably linked to the Spanish Pirate King, and since Charlotte has this King's Sword, her background must be related to the pirate king named "Thunder".
"It's okay. I only responded briefly to her by not mentioning the "Sword of Solomon."
The environment in the large corridor returned to normal in an instant after the gust of wind escaped, and Xi Wei's frightened voice came: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, where are you?"
She spun around, met my gaze, and immediately pounced in surprise.
Charlotte stepped back a little awkwardly, "You guys talk, it's time for me to leave." ”
After the catastrophe, we all ignored Li Tian's existence, and when I looked back, he and the camera disappeared without a trace, which not only made me a little depressed.
"I didn't have time to keep a backup, and to be honest, I even suspected that Wang Shi was just a cheater based on a fake video clip. I'm sorry, Mr. Chen—" Charlotte beckoned to Chagai, and he and the priest hurried over at once, and Wang Shi and Ponytail hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards this side.
All four of them were co-witnesses to the video, and knew what the footage was all about. If you have any questions, you can interrogate as much as you like, as long as it is helpful to find Miss Leng Xin, I am willing to work together. Charlotte no longer has a smile on her face, which shows her meticulous seriousness in doing her business.
Half an hour ago, only me, Charlotte, and Li Tian understood the mutation that happened in Yongdao, and it was completely proved from the speech and reaction of Xi Wei and the others. That is to say, except for all of us, the memory of that half hour is a blank space, and thirty minutes of life are inexplicably "shortened".
The tourists continued to move forward, talk, and look at each other in an orderly manner, and occasionally some of the lecherous people would cast their lustful eyes on Charlotte and Shyvi's faces, but under the arrogant gaze of Shagai, the men did not dare to stop further, and immediately hastened to leave.
I was standing in front of the stone wall where Leng Xin appeared at this moment, and in order to prove his sincerity, Wang Shi even took out a highlighter and drew a human-shaped outline on the stone wall on tiptoe.
At that time, Miss Leng Xin was standing here, about two feet higher than the floor of the large corridor, as if she was standing on a podium. She was so much taller than I was, looking at me condescendingly, and with a radiant gesture that made me realize my own insignificance when I thought about it. If the situation had been seen by others, she would have been regarded as a god of preaching, and I was a lowly audience crawling in the dust—"
Wang Shi smiled flatteringly, and suddenly became an outsider sandwiched between me and Charlotte. It was the right decision to maximize the profits of a commodity society, but it was extremely inappropriate to put it in such an occasion. The case of the disappearance of the desert and the treasure of the pyramid always attract the attention of all forces, and the money she holds in her hand will never have a chance to spend it again.
Xiwei was closest to me, and when she saw me, she frowned slightly, and immediately reminded me knowingly: "Miss Wang, you have said all this, and now we just want to hear what you are hiding." ”
She glanced at Charlotte, who straightened up unconsciously, as if she were going to compete with someone.
"Do you hear what you told Miss Xiwei, and if you dare to hide anything without reservation, I will arrest you and take you to the police station at once—" Xia Gai gave Xiwei a smile of his eyebrows, but the latter did not even look at him.
The priest remained silent, serving as a foil to Charlotte and Chagai, standing respectfully aside.
The security guards have long since retreated obediently, this is a profession that knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder, and as soon as they saw me shaking hands with Xia Gai, they immediately disappeared.
"Mr. Chan, Mrs. Charlotte, Miss Shy, Mr. Shagai...... I've told everything I know, and I really don't have any reservations, please trust me, believe me. She pressed her satchel tightly, for fear that someone else would snatch back the money she had in her hand.
Xia Gai laughed arrogantly: "Forgive me, I don't dare to tell a lie—what about my sister's camera? Take it out and show it to Chen Ying, won't it be all clear? Hey, Chen Ying, this matter has no benefit from us from beginning to end, just spending money to buy things for you in vain, you won't be unappreciative, right?"
He didn't know that Li Tian appeared and took the camera with him, but he just took it for granted that everything was under control.
Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's great, Mr. Chen, we can finally can-"
Charlotte and I glanced at each other, and she smiled hesitantly: "It's a little boring here, let's go outside and talk, Xia Gai, you go back to the car first, make a pot of Chinese tea, and let's entertain Mr. Chen." ”
Those shocking plots are only afraid that they will make Xia Gai scream endlessly, so Charlotte's decision is very correct, and I have this intention.
"Please, Mr. Chen?" Charlotte stretched out her hand to invite the landlord of the city.
"Miss Xiwei, please—" Xia Gai made no secret of his coveting of Xiwei, and would not miss any opportunity to be courteous.
I smiled and rejected Xiwei's inquiring gaze: "You guys go out first, I'll stay for another ten minutes and come right away." "Entering the pyramid so far, except for experiencing a catastrophe of life and death, I have nothing to gain, and of course I refuse to quit easily. Leaving Sylvie allows her to concentrate on observing and thinking, which helps to capture the turn of events.
Xiwei sighed: "Okay, I'll go out and wait for you, don't be too ...... Suppressed. She patted the back of my hand lightly, and led the way out of the tower, ignoring the white of Xia Gai's eyes.
"Under the trouble of those bodies, Leng Xin was able to remain calm and talk to Wang Shiwei - didn't those dirty things attack her? Purely with martial arts, Leng Xin was a hundred times more than Li Tian, but he was still embarrassed under the attack of the rope, and was forced to ask me for help. What about Leng Xin? She does have the guts and the knowledge, but these strange creatures that are ready to move are extremely aggressive, and they are more powerful than ordinary pythons, and with her own strength, she can really survive the confrontation without being harmed?"
I leaned against the stone wall and fell into a deep contemplation that was difficult to disassemble.
In my opinion, the body and rope are all illusions born from stone walls, and they are also a kind of "inner demons" with no clue. If the demon is born from the heart, and if the demon cannot be eliminated smoothly, the person's mind will be stuck, withered, and slowly move towards death. In a sense, I hope that gust of wind will reappear and reconnect the severed threads.
In a panic, Li Tian mentioned a lot of unfamiliar propositions, and related them to his former work status, I could vaguely feel that all the puzzles seemed to be related to the mysterious Area 51, and Li Tian, as a member of that special military zone, had the best conditions for "guarding and stealing".
"Sir, excuse me, can you please take a picture for me?" a short girl with a black backpack walked over with a Kodak camera in her palm.
I came back to my senses and met her young smile and replied, "Of course." ”
At this moment, all my thoughts are on Leng Xin, almost unconsciously, taking pictures of this girl. She walked over to the stone wall and took my place, her arms raised and her posture gleefully arranged.
I pressed the shutter, and the flash illuminated the inconspicuous stone wall, attracting several tourists around me.
"Hey, it doesn't look like the flash is bright enough, can you take another picture for me?" she smiled, smiling, reserved, like a model proudly standing on a display stand, with teeth as white as jade.
For a moment, I seemed to hear some kind of trill, and I could tell that it was the movement of the high-voltage power lines in the wilderness blown by a strong wind, but it was inside the pyramid, and even if the strong wind came, it could only make a monotonous whirring.
