Chapter 306 suicide note and the truth

As soon as the routine slogans were shouted, the four storm warriors raised their swords high and rushed towards the two of them with howls.

At this critical moment, Lu Qi raised his AK, pointed it at the incoming storm warrior, and shouted loudly:

"(Japanese) Hashido sack!"

When he first met the Storm Warriors, Lu Qi, who observed carefully, had a preliminary understanding of these non-human existences.

Storm warriors who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years can think, obey orders, and speak. They seem to be no different from normal ordinary people.

From that moment on, Lu Qi was thinking, if he talked to them in their language, would these storm warriors react?

And this is the moment of verification!

Perhaps hearing the same language as his own, the four storm warriors who rushed towards the two men couldn't help but pause for a moment.

And this meal was exactly what Lu Qi was aiming for!

"Aim for their faces!"

While shouting to remind Laura, Lu Qi quickly raised his gun, aimed at the two storm warriors on his side, and pulled the trigger!

The next second, the bullets shot out, hitting the storm warrior's ghost mask one after another, making a "clang" sound.

Several of the bullets went straight through the mask's eyes and into his head.

A storm warrior who was originally very aggressive fell down at the sound.

Before dying, this storm warrior had only one thought in his mind:

Despicable foreigners...

Just after he killed an enemy with a precise burst of fire, another storm warrior rushed in front of him!

The storm warrior wearing an evil ghost mask looked like a red evil ghost. He raised the sharp sword in his hand and slashed at Lu Qi's head with the force of splitting Mount Fuji!

At the moment of lightning and flint, Lu Qi, who had no time to dodge, suddenly raised his AK and faced the opponent's sword horizontally.

At the same time, his feet moved slightly and he took half a step back.

With a "click", the extremely sharp sword directly split the AK in half!

The sword, which had lost its power slightly, passed right in front of his eyes without causing any harm to Lu Qi!

Lu Qi let go of the remains of the AK in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he pulled out a wakizashi with his right hand from his waist.

The melee weapons collected from the Storm Warriors finally came in use!

Suddenly, with a flash of silver light, Lu Qi grasped the opponent's arm with his left hand, held his ribs with his right hand, and plunged into the storm warrior's neck!

As a stream of black blood spurted out, the storm warrior's body shook violently, and then he fell to the ground.

Picking up the sword from the corpse, Lu Qi just turned around and saw Laura shouting loudly, opening her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow into the unprotected eye socket of the storm warrior!

Different from the fighting method adopted by Lu Qi, Laura first used her perfect archery skills to kill a storm warrior with two arrows; then she quickly distanced herself and used kiting tactics to fight with the storm warrior. Finally, she found the right moment.

One arrow kills!

I have to say that Laura's fighting talent is also very terrifying.

After many consecutive battles, she has consciously observed the characteristics of the enemy and adopted different fighting methods for different enemies.

At this time, Laura is no longer what she used to be...

...

After killing the four storm warriors, the two walked straight up the stone steps and arrived at the circular platform in the center of the ancient tomb.

On the circular platform, kneeling was a warrior wearing gorgeous armor and a horned helmet.

Judging from the pile of bones under the armor, this high-status warrior had been dead for a long time.

And the one who killed him was not others, but himself!

Judging from his kneeling posture and the wakizashi inserted across his abdomen, this samurai obviously adopted the unique method of samurai suicide - seppuku.

Passing by the suicidal warrior, Laura's eyes were quickly attracted by a portrait on the stone wall directly in front of her.

It is a portrait full of meaning:

With the sun's rays as the background, a black-haired woman holding a long bow stands in the upper right corner of the portrait, while a man wearing a cloth robe and holding a sword stands in the lower left corner of the portrait, seeming to be looking up at the black man.

Hair for women.

Needless to say, the black-haired woman is the Sun Queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, Himiko; and the man, if the guess is correct, should be Himiko's number one younger brother, General Storm.

"These portraits...the warrior portraits are all in Himihu's mausoleum, protecting her..."

"The woman in the portrait should be Himihu, so this man should be his general..."

While speaking, Laura turned to look at the suicidal warrior and said to herself:

"But, why did you commit suicide by committing seppuku..."

Laura, who couldn't figure it out, blinked her eyes, and suddenly reached out and pulled out the wakizashi stuck in the corpse.

"So beautiful...and also very sharp..."

Playing with this wakizashi, which had gone through hundreds of years but was still sharp, Laura suddenly had a thought, shook it twice, and heard a slight sound coming from the handle of the knife.

There's something in there!

When she opened the cover of the knife handle and saw a small roll of paper hidden inside, Laura's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she immediately shouted to Lu Qi who was observing the suicidal warrior:

"Lu Qi! Something was discovered!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi quickly stood up, came to Laura's side, and read the note together.

Although the content on the note is written in ancient neon characters, it does not affect reading at all for the two people who are proficient in language and characters.

"I let the Queen down."

"The ritual had become unclean. The priestess knew that the only way to be saved was through death, so she ended her life."

"The queen who was, is, and is everlasting, now half-dead, her soul trapped in a corrupted body, her wrath turned into a storm, and storms are impossible as long as her soul is not freed from this land.

stop."

"My Storm Warrior Legion is sworn to protect the Queen to the death. They must continue, but I can no longer do it..."

Judging from the content, this small note is the suicide note of General Storm. It records why Himihu mysteriously disappeared and the root cause of the storm.

After getting the answer, Laura's brain was running at high speed, and combined with all the pieces of information she had obtained so far, she quickly put together the puzzle called "the truth":

"The storm is related to Himiko's power. She is preventing us from leaving the island. There is a coronation chamber in the temple. The reason why the storm warriors patrol around the temple is to protect Himiko's body that is kept in the chamber!"

"If we want the storm to stop, we must destroy the body in the coronation chamber and let Himihu's soul disappear completely."
