Chapter 1424 Chapter 1420 Hearth Story (Second update)
"I don't mind." Wanda Maximoff shrugged, "This is a party, the more people, the better."
"I also want to hear the adventure story after Yamatai." Bayonetta picked up the wine glass and toasted to the new guests who joined the party. However, one of the two guests was not very cooperative, and she did not even pay attention.
Seeing the cup held by the witch, another guest seemed a little nervous. It was not that Lara Croft had never seen the witch. After experiencing the adventure of Yamatai, she was sure that there was a mysterious power in the world, and thus embarked on the journey.
Entering the adventure of uncovering the truth behind history - after a brief moment of confusion, Dinah handed the two guests their drinks. Some crazy women were given a cup of hot cocoa with toasted marshmallows, Laura Kerr
Lawford received a glass of Macallan whiskey without ice.
But Lara Croft feels like she's smelled enough burnt stuff.
Although the peat flavor of Macallan whiskey is not that strong, she still appreciates it. If possible, she hopes to have a glass of sweet mulled wine to restore some vitality to her fingers and lips that were numb from the cold.
Na fulfilled her wish and immediately gave her a cup of the manor owner's nightcap drink. The head maid gently took away the dazed Milia on the sofa. The child ate too much at the reception.
, she had to make Milia wake up, brush her teeth and then lie down on the bed obediently, so she took away the Cheshire cat on the sofa who was also bloated and had its legs in the air.
Milia would not sleep well without holding this cat.
"I heard that you later went to Siberia and the Amazon rainforest. If he thought it was worth investing millions of dollars, it must be a good story." Bayonetta raised her long legs wrapped in black stockings, "But
I want to hear first how he rescued you from the library. Don't worry, this is a girls' drinking party, no one else will attend. You don't have to pretend to know much about red wine here, this is not London
Or those pretentious high-end salons in New York..."
"And I heard that you have good taste in firearms. I can share our collection with you." Joan of Arc took out a pistol from the crack of the sofa. She and Bayonetta both liked this female archaeologist, especially
It was when she was listening to her talk about her experiences and discoveries. "Really good guns, like fine wine, last forever, such as this Kimber M1911A1..."
“I prefer HK USP.”
Lara Croft sat in the high-backed chair and began to tell about the little adventure she had experienced not long ago.
First came the sound of footsteps.
In this silent library, even her own sound of turning books and breathing are as noticeable as the sound of gunshots. Human beings will consciously keep quiet in a dangerous environment, except for moving these heavy books to the ground and using a knife.
The sound made when the pages of parchment were separated, Lara Croft, who was kneeling on the ground to read, kept quiet throughout the process, until she felt that her breathing and heartbeat were the only sounds in the world - she took many photos
Scrolls and archives, but whether the content of the shot is valuable depends entirely on intuition. She has realized that she has exceeded the return time, and it takes far more than three minutes just to select books-she shot a piece of "The Orthodox Church in the Late Byzantine Period"
The description of the image of angels in "Research", and the methods and methods of making the Philosopher's Stone in "The Evolution and Research of Alchemy in Europe and Arabia in the Ninth Century AD" were photographed.
She didn't notice the footsteps, but she noticed the sudden signal on her cell phone.
Very light footsteps came from far and near, and the cold air turbulence also raised some fine dust.
Lara Croft turned around and drew her gun, and immediately stood up and pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the sound. The cerebral ischemia caused by standing up quickly did not affect her movements. Within half a second of black vision,
She relied on instinct to retract between the two bookshelves, hiding most of her body in the shadows, and the arm holding the gun was still steady. She had no idea what she was going to face, so she still held the burning signal rod in her hand.
In her hand - the woman told her that the most useful weapon to face the devil is flame. Because the origin of witchcraft is flame, the initial interaction and sacrifice between humans and nature were also through flame. When the first lightning ignited the dead tree
, mankind’s service to nature began, and the cornerstone of human civilization is built on that handful of flames.
Although she failed to understand those mysterious remarks, Lara Croft adhered to the spirit of pragmatism and divided all the burning signal rods into two. She left part of the burning signal rods to the woman and carried part of it herself.
No matter how much the woman claimed that she was a witch and had the magic to talk to animals or even inorganic objects, Lara Croft was not worried about leaving her alone. As for whether she would do anything after handing over the burning signal rod to the woman.
Because lighting an entire library on fire is not something Lara Croft needs to think about.
The cold air burned her lungs, and she felt that her fingers had lost their touch, and the trigger that should have been pulled became slow and heavy. This was the consequence of stopping movement. The heat in the core of the body no longer flowed to the limbs.
There was a problem with heat management. To make matters worse, Lara Croft discovered at this time that her stiff fingers were still tightly wrapped around a piece of bright red yarn that was supposed to be hidden by her - this was the yarn she used to walk towards the maze.
The ball, at this moment, became an indicator to guide potential enemies - she hurriedly rubbed the tangled wool off her fingers, then bent down and sneaked in the shadows. Since the wool pointed her location to the enemy, she only needed to find
Just go to a suitable ambush location.
Although she has not received professional indoor special operations training, her excellent physical fitness and alert reflexes comparable to those of Olympic gymnasts allow her to make the right choices in her adventurous career and save her life. But she has not received formal combat training after all.
, so that she forgot some particularly important factors.
"What?"
Wanda Maximoff asked. She had read Lara Croft's files and witnessed her heroic battle with Trinity mercenaries in the Amazon rainforest. She couldn't think of such a right thing to do.
For a person who can fight against professional soldiers, what mistake can he make when facing a trap that the enemy will definitely fall into?
"I don't understand how many irrelevant corners there are in the library, and I don't understand how many things are lurking in the shadows." Lara Croft's tone feels like telling a horror story, especially in this world where everyone
While warming up in front of the fireplace with a blanket and slowly enjoying a glass of wine, a powerful twist and jump scare are definitely the most suitable topics for the party. "This is a hunt, between the hunter and the prey.
Identity doesn't last forever. I fell into a trap originally set for my enemies."
"What do you mean?" Wanda Maximoff shook her head, "I still don't understand."
"It means that the enemy discovered her trap. When she wanted to ambush the enemy, the enemy was also waiting for her move, but there was a lack of opportunity." Bayonetta picked up the wine glass and said, "But this is a trap we all know.
The ending of the story, because we are not the ghosts."
"I should have discovered earlier that dead bait will definitely not make the fish bite." Lara Croft slowly drank the sweet red wine that was a little hot in her mouth. "When the bait shakes, it does not necessarily mean that there is really a fish bite."
hook."
The hand stretched out from her back, smelling of cigar.
