Bang!

Lu Qi used an ice pick to pry open the iron door, revealing a shocking scene inside.

A pile of animal offal, hanging animal meat, a blood-stained wooden table...

It looks like this should be a place similar to a slaughterhouse.

However, with the foreshadowing just now, the two of them were not too surprised.

With her companions by her side, Lara made full use of the "suicide" passive skill of each game protagonist and walked towards the light on the left.

There, there was an extremely simple sacrificial altar. Enshrined with human skulls and red candles, there was a female graffiti painted on the wall. There were several suns painted around the woman as always.

"The woman, the sun... is almost the same as the worship image I saw when I was in the cave. If that terrible guy is the same as the owner of this slaughterhouse, that is to say, this island has

share some common beliefs?”

Hearing this, Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a ripple in his heart.

Just from the graffiti on the wall, Laura could almost guess the common beliefs of this island.

This made Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is truly a rising star in the archaeological world and an expert in discovering (destroying) ruins in the future!

Looking at Laura who was looking at the image intently, Lu Qi rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and echoed:

"Female, sun, sounds very familiar..."

Pretending to lower his head and think for a while, Lu Qi organized his words in his mind, and then guided him seemingly casually:

"By the way! Hasn't Samantha been talking about Himihu's story all the time? I remember she said that Himihu, who rules the entire Yamatai, is called the Sun Queen!"

"The sun, women...is there some connection between the two?"

As Lu Qi expected, his words made Laura's eyes suddenly light up as she was deep in thought!

"You mean, this island is the place we are looking for, part of the legendary "Lost Kingdom" Yamatai?!"

Lu Qi, who had achieved his goal, gave up as soon as he was ready. He just shrugged and spread his hands and said:

"I don't know, I don't know much about Yamatai."

Laura would never have thought that the companion in front of her already knew the identity of this island...

Nodding thoughtfully, Laura looked up at the graffiti on the wall again and said:

"This is a very interesting idea. However, relying solely on graffiti, we cannot confirm the accuracy of this idea. We need more evidence or intelligence..."

"Okay, great archaeologist, let us leave this smelly place first, and then we can look for evidence..."

...

After prying open the last iron door blocking the way, they found another section of waterway that was flooded up to their waists. The two finally arrived at the exit of the underground bunker.

Lu Qi was still in front and Laura was behind. The two climbed up the rusty ladder and climbed to the ground.

As soon as he walked out of the underground bunker, Lu Qi very keenly noticed wisps of light smoke floating in the air not far ahead.

Coupled with the sound of the conversation between men and women, Lu Qi could get an obvious message even without using Eagle Eyes:

There is someone in front!

After exchanging glances with Laura, the two of them slowed down in perfect agreement and approached quietly following the sound.

"We are in the southwest. They have to follow the road and may need to climb some slopes..."

"We have a fire, just look for a place with smoke..."

The closer she got to the source of the sound, the more Laura felt that the female voice was very much like the voice of her best friend Samantha.

Lu Qi also used his eagle eyes to confirm that there were two targets ahead, one was a companion glowing with blue light, and the other was an enemy glowing with red light!

"Lu Qi?! Have you found..."

Before she finished speaking, Laura came out from behind Lu Qi with a look of surprise:

"Samantha!"

"Laura!"

When the two girls only had eyes for each other, Lu Qi's eyes stayed on the bald man beside the campfire.

It was a middle-aged man who was leaning on crutches and wearing an old suit jacket. He didn't look kind-hearted.

It is worth noting that the pendant of the necklace on the chest has a sun ornament hanging on it, which is very similar to the image of the sun described by Laura.

"Samantha, this is..."

After Lu Qi reminded her, Samantha, who was sitting on the stone, reacted and introduced:

"Oh, it doesn't matter, he is one of our own..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man stood up with a cane and said to Lu Qi and Laura:

"Sorry to scare you, this place is getting jumpy. We just spoke with your crew and they are on their way over..."

"Look..."

Pointing to the bandage on her right ankle, Samantha looked innocent and said, "He bandaged it for me."

"I can only do this little bit..."

As he spoke, the bald man limped towards Lu Qi with a cane, and kept saying:

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Matthias, I am a teacher..."

After saying that, he smiled slightly at Lu Qi and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands with Lu Qi.

Seeing the fake smile deliberately put on the other person's face, Lu Qi raised the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking the other person's performance.

Under normal circumstances, after encountering a shipwreck, coming to a mysterious island, and suddenly encountering such a bald man holding a cane and claiming to be a teacher, Lu Qi's first reaction would definitely be to be alert and vigilant, not like Sam Mantha.

, trust each other carelessly.

In Lu Qi's impression, those with bald heads are not good people. What's more, he has also passed the game "Tomb Raider 9"!

As early as the moment the other party appeared, Lu Qi recognized the identity of this bald man. He was the boss character throughout the entire "Tomb Raider 9" game - "Solari Leader" Matthias!

Although the details of the plot are somewhat vague, Lu Qi still has some understanding of the villains in the game.

Matthias was one of the refugees who landed on the island in the 1980s. In order to leave the island, he and his companions built a small boat and tried to go to sea.

However, the results were brutal.

Under the violent storm surrounding the island, the plan to go to sea failed, and his companions died one after another.

Realizing that there was some mysterious power hidden in the storm, Matthias began to travel around the island, and finally discovered the secrets of the island and the history of Himiko, the Queen of the Sun.

I also learned that if you want to leave the island, you must find a suitable sacrifice candidate to release Himihu who is sealed in the decayed body.

As for Solari, they were actually refugees who landed on the island one after another. Among the refugees, those who disobeyed were killed, and those who obeyed became Solari, Matthias's men.

It can be said that the biggest enemy of Lu Qi and other survivors on this island is the bald man in front of him and his men...

Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Matthias's hand, exerted a little force, and showed a bright smile:
