bloody smell...
Luo Jian opened his eyes suddenly, full of fear and uneasiness, he got up from the ground in embarrassment, and knelt alone, holding his short knife tightly in his right hand, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.
He thought that he was still in that narrow and closed passage, he thought that he failed to kill the enemy, he even dreamed that he was dead, but all of these, whether real or not, could bring a huge shock to him.
However, Luo Jian soon discovered that he was no longer in that narrow passage. He was now in a relatively spacious small tomb. In fact, it was not particularly spacious. There was only one coffin in this small tomb. The space outside the coffin was only enough for two people to walk side by side, and when Luo Jian woke up, she was lying next to the coffin.
Luo Jian knelt on the spot and did not move. He looked around the surrounding environment and made sure that he was not in danger. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After the initial nervousness passed, he soon felt a dull pain in his neck, subconsciously He touched his neck, but touched the bandage on his neck.
bandage
Luo Jian had been dull for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he and that enemy—the clown, were in that narrow passage with him, Luo Jian, at that time, almost used all the power he could use with the thought of dying together. , Want to kill the enemy! When Luo Jian swung a knife to cut the clown's carotid artery directly, the enemy also adopted the same method as him!
From Luo Jian's point of view at the time, falling from a high altitude and losing a lot of blood, even if the enemy has the best ability to die, he can definitely be disabled! In this way, at least it can achieve the effect of containment and reduce some threats to your team.
Before reaching this point, Luo Jian didn't want to die easily, and he had resorted to the means of dying at that time. One can imagine what kind of situation he had been forced into, forcing him to take his own life .
But after waking up so suddenly, Luo Jian found that he was not dead. He appeared in an inexplicable small tomb. There was only one coffin with him in the tomb. He was even wrapped in a bandage around his neck. ...someone saved him.
Who saved me
Luo Jian couldn't help but rummaged through his clothes. He was still wearing the tattered and tailored ancient costume, and there was nothing more or less on his body. The hunter took away all the equipment that Luo Jian should have, Even his clothes were taken away, (to be honest, his weapon was also replaced.) Although Luo Jian couldn't figure out why the other party did this.
As for Luo Jian now, there are only two things on him, both of which are obtained from the coffin in the main tomb room, a scroll that has been stuck in his waist, and a half jade pendant hanging around his neck.
It can be said that Luo Jian's situation is particularly bad, it is terribly bad, he is alone, he has no props to protect himself except weapons, and even in a panic, he even lost his way. There's nothing in this vast tomb to show him the way—wait
Luo Jian suddenly thought of something, and pulled out the scroll from his waist.
In the note message in the secret room, there is such a reminder: the ink portrait of the owner of the tomb.
"Ink and wash portraits." Luo Jian muttered to herself, opened the scroll and frowned. This scroll really doesn't look very special, it's just a portrait of a man, wearing an ancient costume and a hat, sitting upright on a chair, with no expression on his face.
Luo Jian stared at the portrait for a long time. This portrait is just a painting, and there are no inscriptions. It is a simple portrait. Luo Jian looked up, down, left, and right, but he couldn't see anything from the painting, and the scroll was very old, the paper was yellowed, and the ink lines were blurred in some places.
Luo Jian pondered for a long time and sighed, but then he paused, as if he had thought of something, and began to study the axis of the scroll, that is, the head of the scroll, the ancients seemed to like to hide things in it, Then, as expected, Luo Jian found something.
"A piece of rag." Luo Jian said, shaking the cloth strip in his hand, there were some inexplicable lines drawn on the cloth strip, oh... If you look carefully, you will find that it is not painted but stitched and threaded. Yes, there are not only lines but also some incomprehensible small characters.
Luo Jian soon discovered that the fonts or patterns on this rag were incomplete, which meant that it was probably one of a broken map.
As for where the other maps are, I'm afraid the answer will come from the enemies.
Luo Jian stuffed the rag into her arms, touched the half piece of jade pendant around her neck, stood up, and began to look for a way out of this small tomb. He couldn't stay here forever, and the danger was not there yet. past.
But just as Luo Jian stood up straight, he suddenly heard a voice from behind, which was so sudden that Luo Jian shivered in fright, only to realize that someone was standing behind him talking.
"You're awake," the man said.
Luo Jian didn't even know when there was someone standing behind him.
So he immediately turned around and looked back! Only then did I realize that a person appeared out of nowhere beside the coffin, sitting on the coffin lid with his back facing Luo Jian, wearing a black hoodie with the hat on his head, with his back facing Luo Jian, sitting cross-legged with his head down . When Luo Jian saw this person, he couldn't suppress his surprise, because the tomb was relatively small, and the surrounding objects were all in sight, and there was no place to hide people at all. Where did this thing come from? from
Luo Jian was puzzled, but soon he had an idea and realized that this was probably the effect of the personal secret room. This guy was in his personal secret room before! Therefore, when he popped up suddenly, it would give people a feeling of appearing out of thin air.
After figuring this out, Luo Jian cheered himself up in his heart, tried to maintain his inhuman calmness, and asked, "Who are you?"
Although Luo Jian asked who the other party was, in fact, at that moment, he had already made a lot of speculations about the identity of this unexpected guest who appeared suddenly! It is said that none of the stalkers can speak, so it can be ruled out, and the only thing left is... the enemy, or the new teammate who has never met.
When Luo Jian pretended to be dead in the coffin before, although he couldn't see the exact faces of those enemies, he still silently remembered the voices and tone of those people's speech.
However, this person's voice is different from any enemy voice that Luo Jian has heard before. It is not the deep and hoarse voice of the vampire captain, nor is it the rough voice of the strong man, and naturally it is not holding a scalpel. The clown, otherwise Luo Jian would have been stabbed to death; of course, it would be even more impossible to be the female voice of the long-haired woman.
So Luo Jian guessed that there were only two options left. One, this person was the last member of the enemy that he hadn't seen before. Second, he is the new teammate in Luo Jian's team.
In fact, judging from the current environment and situation, the second option is the most likely, otherwise Luo Jian would have died long ago instead of standing here in good health. Obviously, he was saved by this new teammate.
Sure enough, the new teammate turned his head slightly, revealing half of his face, and said to Luo Jian: "My code name is Apocalypse, as for my name... oh, I've forgotten my name a long time ago, you can call me a ghost, this is My nickname."
The other party's voice was a little low, but Luo Jian felt strangely familiar with the voice. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. He felt that it was necessary for him to look at the other party's voice. face.
"Can you turn around?" So Luo Jian said.
The new teammate seemed to hesitate for a while, and couldn't help but sighed. He jumped off the coffin, turned around, and faced Luo Jian.
Luo Jian felt her heart suffocate for a moment, and at that moment, she had a terrible illusion that she couldn't breathe, and said in surprise, "Is it you?"
The Ghost of the Chamber of Secrets.
The man Luo Jian had seen in front of his uncle's shop, according to him, he had signed a lifelong contract with the secret room and became the man who became the ghost of the secret room, and Luo Jian had been guessing in his heart that this man was probably Luo Jian. My cousin who has been missing for nearly twenty years.
"We seem to meet again. It's really destined." The cousin's demeanor is gentle and gentle, and he has two cute dimples when he smiles, but when he's not smiling, his straight face under the brim of the hat makes him look very handsome people. It has been too long, and Luo Jian's impression of his cousin has long been blurred when he was a child. Now, facing the lost relatives, his feeling is strange and familiar.
"You are the Apocalypse?" Luo Jian didn't know how to address the other party. It was very uncomfortable to call him a nickname like a ghost, but if he called his brother, Luo Jian really couldn't say it for a while. In particular, the other party seems to have lost all memory of 'reality', that is to say, he doesn't remember that Luo Jian is his younger brother at all.
"I am the Apocalypse." Cousin replied him.
"But didn't you tell me before that you are a ghost, and ghosts have no right to return to reality. To become an Apocalypse, you must undergo the final trial, and if you succeed in the trial, you can return to reality. If this is the case, how can the secret room make you an apocalypse? By?"
Luo Jian's statement seemed to make the ghost smile with an ambiguous meaning, and replied: "The person who told you this information obviously didn't tell the whole story. It is true that the Apocalypse can return to reality as long as he successfully completes the final trial, but like me This kind of player who has no right to return to reality, if he can successfully complete the trial, and the chamber of secrets cannot send me back to reality, it will be changed to - grant me one wish, except all wishes to return to reality."
"So that's how it is." Luo Jian understood: "You came here for that wish."
After being silent for a while, Luo Jian asked presumptuously: "Can I ask you?"
"Say it."
"What kind of wish?"
The ghost spoke very softly, as if with hope, and his expression was very gentle: "It's very simple, it's just a matter of canceling the lifelong contract, changing from a ghost to an ordinary player again, in this way, my reality can also come back, and I can To meet my loved ones and not be alone anymore."
Luo Jian didn't know how to answer him. After so many years, after suffering all kinds of life-and-death struggles, she finally mustered up the courage to challenge this so-called final trial. What she wanted was such a simple wish, not wanting to live forever , I don’t want to be extremely powerful, I don’t need to be invincible, I don’t need to be invincible, I don’t have so many desires, I just want to return to the original precious...family affection.
Luo Jian wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. He hoarsely asked the ghost: "Can I call you brother?"
