Chapter 1420 The Ball of Wool in the Maze (Second Update)
Lara Croft walked carefully through the corner formed by the huge bookcases, as fast as a gray mouse. After making sure that the surroundings were safe enough, she took out the light stick from her trouser pocket and shook it according to a fixed pattern. The next second, the woman in a dark blue dress also bent over and crawled over. Her face was full of excitement, as if she was going on an interesting adventure. But to be serious, her experience of coming to the library is more like a child who is locked in the house because her parents have left home. She uses the furniture and every corner of the house to go on a self-entertaining adventure—— The sofa can be mountains and hills, the bottom of the bed can be the abyss of the sea, and the toys placed in the corner are the enemies chasing her - everything can become colorful and interesting with a rich imagination, even Laura... Crawford's action of shaking the light stick will be mixed with a lot of information in her brain into a picture that ordinary people can't imagine.
At this time, Lara Croft had picked up the pistol.
She carefully checked the ammunition and firearms, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure they were still usable. She also picked up her backpack, and took back a spare pistol, some food, and fresh water from the backpack. While handgun rounds proved ineffective against so-called dust demons, having a weapon in this environment is better than nothing. There are two options before her now. One is to bring all the adventure equipment and try to return the same way and leave from the door where she entered the library. The other is to remember the route the giant robot left and bring all the food and fresh water. Go to the giant robot and wait for the follow-up rescue to arrive - however, the second option was rejected by herself, because if the woman really came to the library for twelve days, it meant that no one would come to help them. You have to find your own way out of the library.
The idea of leaving the woman next to the giant robot, handing her food and water, and then going out to seek help herself flashed through her mind. However, Lara Croft still couldn't bear to do such an irresponsible behavior. She didn't think she could lead the rescue team to find her after she left. It's very difficult for a mentally ill person to follow a set order without medication, and even if Lara Croft thinks she can lead a rescue team to the giant robot, the woman may end up lost in the library again.
When she thought that this woman would die of hunger and thirst in the library, Lara Croft felt that she could not bear it. Although her hands were stained with blood, it was only the blood of war hyenas and mercenaries. She could not bear it. Sit back and watch the weak suffer disaster. To this day, the earthquake in the Yucatan Peninsula still tortures her soul. If she had not accepted hypnotic psychotherapy from an old magician at Wanda's suggestion-referring to Master Hamil-then what would have happened in her nightmares It must be full of broken mountains, raging floods, and the corpses of humans and domestic animals floating on the turbid floods. As for the even more terrifying scene of Quetzalcoatl awakening, she could only try her best to forget and blur it. Just seeing a giant beast twenty kilometers high was already too much pain for the human brain to process.
For her, the most fortunate thing now is that all the equipment she brought into the library is safe.
She repeatedly confirmed that there was no white ash left after the death of the fog monster on those things, and then she confidently put those things back into her backpack. She also handed the woman the small pot containing the solidified chocolate. The small stainless steel pot with some remaining warmth could hold at most two cups of hot cocoa, but it was enough for the woman to warm her hands.
"Where are we going?" the woman asked curiously, stretching out her fingers to try to dig out the chocolate from the small pot.
Lara Croft is in no mood to care about her actions, she's trying to remember all the routes.
"You said you had a ball of yarn, right?"
The emperor could handle the rescue work in the library by himself, but he still brought Master Xiao Wang with him, which made the latter confused and puzzled. "I won't become your political tool, right?" Master Xiao Wang rolled his eyes. He had known the emperor for many years, and the two could be called friends. Although the emperor later assumed more and more responsibilities and gradually had no time to return to Kama Taj to handle those small tasks, the friendship between the two did not weaken. . "You're more than just a mystic now, aren't you?"
"Yes, you will also bear the same responsibility as Master Hamil in the future." The emperor pushed open the library door and strode in. The outermost layer of the library is the regular library. Copies of the "Book of Emperor Weishan" and copies of the magic classics written by the emperor are stored here for apprentices to read and study without any danger. The librarian who was dozing was startled by the loud noise of the door and stood up quickly. "You were fired." The emperor pointed at the librarian and said, "Now Master Xiao Wang has taken your place."
The librarian ran out of the library happily.
This guy had no idea what was going on, but he knew that the highest power of Kamal Taj now belonged to the man in front of him. For the young mystics of Kama Taj, their support for the emperor far exceeds their support for the mystic families. After all, many of the new theories that have emerged in Kama Taj over the years are from the hands of the emperor. The emperor's arrival not only alarmed the library, but also the two young apprentices who were still reading late at night in the library - Sherlock Holmes and Stephen Strange. They spent almost every day in the library, and the latter was The emperor's menacing attitude was startled, and the former raised his eyebrows curiously, as if he noticed something interesting. "What did I do wrong that makes you want to take revenge on me?" Master Xiao Wang was shocked. "Are you so eager to cut down on my sleep time?"
"I must arrange for a trustworthy person to control the library to prevent similar things from happening again. I have taken away control of the library's defense system from them, and now this control is handed over to you." The emperor first said A magic weapon that looked like a brass key was given to Master Xiao Wang, and then he pointed at Sherlock Holmes and Stephen Strange, two young mystics who were still reading, and said, "Watch them and don't let them leave. here."
"What's going on? You plan to imprison us..." Stephen Strange spoke first, but as the emperor handed the pistol to Master Xiao Wang, even the most stupid person knew that he should shut up.
"I hope you will shoot when necessary." The emperor first looked at Master Xiao Wang, and then at the two apprentices. "No one will know what happened today," he said. "You will sign a confidentiality agreement and keep silent about what you see next for the rest of your life. I don't want Kamal Taj to lose two people who will become The apprentice of an excellent mystic."
"A very elegant threat." Sherlock Holmes nodded. "I will swear, but I don't know what the American will think."
"I will also swear." Stephen Strange curled his lips, "To SIG Sauer P226."
"very good."
No one saw clearly where Salomon put his hand, but everyone saw clearly what the steel beast that suddenly appeared in his hand looked like a giant cannon. The huge caliber, extremely industrial design and the most intuitive mechanical violence are the first impressions the bolt gun gives people. This is not a .50-caliber bolt gun for mortals, but a .75-caliber standard MK. II Mars-type bolt gun. The size of a bomb is almost the same as a machine gun shell.
"But I think you should swear by it."
