“呯!”
Lina suddenly closed the book in her hand, and the room immediately quieted down. She slowly turned her head and looked at the two people who were packing their luggage and arguing. She sighed and said,"I say, it's been almost three years. If I remember correctly, the problem you guys were arguing about was actually the same as three years ago, right?”
"This is a very serious philosophical question.”Amanda said.
"These questions all sound similar.”Laura continued," But are you really not going with us?”
" I'm not going." Lina waved the book in her hand." I'm almost done reading those. Anyway, I've already finished my thesis. There will be plenty of opportunities for field trips in the future."”
" As expected of a pocket encyclopedia. It took less than three years to read all the books in the University of Cambridge and memorize them all. I think we should study them properly when we have time. Perhaps we can discover a new species.”Amanda said as she closed the box.
"No, I think Lina is indeed a human, but she might have eaten something, such as an immortality pill. Otherwise, why hasn't her appearance changed for the past three years?”Laura also closed the box and said.
"If you say it again, I'll turn hostile!" Lina gritted her teeth when she heard the two of them echoing each other. This was an eternal pain in her heart because God had said that unless there were extremely special circumstances, she would always be like this. In other words, she would always maintain the appearance of a fourteen-year-old and would never grow up.
With laughter, Laura and Amanda left and began their postgraduate internship--excavating an ancient tomb in Mexico, where legend had it that the last queen of Divanako was buried. However, when they returned, they were filled with joy. The entire graduate student team encountered a disaster. A terrifying monster slaughtered everyone in the tomb, leaving only Laura and Amanda. When they tried to escape, Amanda triggered the mechanism and sealed the tomb. She drowned and only Laura escaped.
This incident caused a lot of damage to Laura. The three of them were originally scheduled to go on an adventure together after graduation, but they could not fulfill this agreement. Every time she thought of this promise, Laura seemed to see Amanda, who had fallen under a rock and was unable to escape, drowning in front of her. Therefore, she rejected Lina and her brother's suggestion to take risks and left Cambridge alone after finishing her studies.
Lina understood Laura's feelings. She also needed some time to sort out the knowledge she had learned in the past three years. After all, she was just memorizing it now. Therefore, she came to the British Library and became a librarian with her Ph.D. in archaeology. She sorted out the known knowledge and looked for new knowledge at the same time.
Just like that, another three years passed.
Lina, who still hadn't changed much, was sitting behind the counter, reading a large book. As a librarian, her job was very easy, so she had a lot of time to read.
"Ding ding ding ~~"
The phone on the counter suddenly rang. Because they were in the library, the ringtone was not loud. Lina, who was reading, did not look up. She just reached out to pick up the receiver and put it to her ear. She said the words that she had said countless times in the past three years,"Hello, this is the British Library. May I help you?”
"I have something here that needs to be appraised.”A woman's voice came from the receiver.
"You finally remembered me. Should I say 'honored?'”Lina said angrily when she heard this voice.
" You know, Lina, in the past few years…" The woman wanted to explain, but Lina interrupted her.
"I know that you have been adventuring around the world for the past three years, and that you have never stayed in any fixed place for more than a week.”Lina sighed." Forget it. I'm not in a position to say anything. You can only rely on yourself. Then, how do we meet?"
"Come to my house. I think you know where my house is.”The woman opposite him seemed to have adjusted her emotions and continued.
"Okay, see you in the afternoon." Then, Lina hung up the phone.
Croft Manor, Abington, Surrey. In 1574, the then King of England, Edward VI, granted this place to the Croft family. The Croft family owned three huge houses here, two of which were handed over to the trust organization by the current Countess of Abingdon, and the third became the Countess 'home.
The Countess of Abingdon was named Lara Croft.
"Thank you." Picking up the red teacup on the tray, Lina, who was dressed in a white dress, nodded elegantly in thanks. This made the white-haired butler Winston sigh in admiration. Then, he thought of his mistress, Laura. Although Laura was definitely a beautiful woman, her behavior was definitely not related to the word 'lady'.
"Ah, long time no see, Lina." Laura, who was also dressed in white, walked down the stairs. However, she was not wearing a dress, but a loose half-sleeved shirt and long pants. This made everyone who saw her think of her as " wild beauty."
"I say, have you really not taken any immortality pills? Why do I feel like you haven't changed at all?”Standing at the staircase, Laura said mockingly.
"Where is it?" Lina didn't care about Laura's teasing at all. After all, this wasn't the first time. Lina could easily take this as a compliment.
"Let's go." Seeing Lina's calm reaction, Laura, who felt bored, brought her to her laboratory. The unknown item was placed on the table. It was a round object that looked like a compass. It seemed to be made of gold. There was a metal ring with twelve mysterious symbols on the outside, and a metal plate with complicated patterns on the inside. In the middle of the metal plate was an orange eye-shaped symbol that kept spinning. It looked abnormally beautiful and mysterious.
"Hu ~" Leena whistled softly and touched the disk with her left hand. She knew what it was and what was about to happen.
"You're in trouble." Lina turned her head and smiled at Laura.
"What do you mean?"
"I think you know about the Illuminati?”Lina asked.
"Because of Omniscient Eyes?" Laura smiled and said,"But there are too many organizations that use the Omniscient Eyes as their symbol. There are even gay organizations among them. With the disappearance of the Third Reich, the real Illuminati of Bayaria also disappeared, so..."
"They didn't disappear, they hid.”Lina interrupted Laura." The reason why the Illuminati used the Omniscient Eyes as their emblem is because the organization was founded to find a divine artifact. This divine artifact is also a triangle with a round hole in the middle. This is the origin of the Omniscient Eyes. Legend has it that this divine artifact possessed immense power and could control time. However, due to its immense power, it was split into two by its creator and hidden. The main purpose of the Illuminati's creation was to find this divine artifact and use it to control the world.”
"This is the key?" Laura asked.
"Yes, and if you want to repair this divine artifact, you have to do it when the Nine Stars are aligned, which is now. Because it was exactly five thousand years ago at this time, that divine artifact was destroyed. If you can't take this opportunity to find and repair that divine artifact, then you have to wait for another five thousand years.”Lina said," However, if I were you, I would destroy this thing because it is definitely a disaster.”
Hearing Lina's words, Laura only shrugged. Lina didn't say anything else. After all, the decision was in Laura's hands. After they finished talking about business, the two good friends who had not seen each other for many years naturally had a lot to talk about. It just so happened that it was raining heavily outside. It was good to keep guests on rainy days, which also avoided the awkwardness caused by Laura not contacting Lina for a long time.
"Doing such high-intensity exercise after a meal is not good for the body.”Lina, who was holding a cup of black tea, said as she watched Laura tie two extremely elastic ropes around her belt and prepare to practice aerial gymnastics.
"To me, this can only be considered as 'moderate exercise.”Laura said proudly, then jumped down from the fence on the second floor. Borrowing the elasticity of the rope, Laura stretched along with the soft music playing on the record. For some reason, Lina felt that Laura's heart was actually not calm. She seemed to be using this to adjust.
Lina knew that although Laura knew the function of the disc in advance because of her arrival, it was precisely because of this that Laura's heart was at war. Rationally, Laura knew that the disc had to be destroyed, and that the divine artifact should never appear in this world. However, there was always a voice in Laura's heart telling her that she should get that divine artifact. She wanted to find back the time she had lost, but...
"Di-Di-"
The sudden alarm interrupted Laura's thoughts." Intruder discovered." A display on the wall read. Laura subconsciously used the elastic force of the rope to come to the chandelier. She looked at Lina worriedly. Lina also saw the words, but she only gave Laura a look that said," I can take care of myself."
“呯!”
The glass of the skylight suddenly shattered, and a few soldiers in full night combat equipment suddenly slid into the house along the rope. They did not see Laura, but they saw Lina standing in the middle of the hall with a cup of red tea!
"Da da…"
The soldiers opened fire, and the bullets flew around the target, but it did not have any effect. A round metal ball suddenly appeared where Lina was standing, blocking the soldiers 'attacks! Taking advantage of the fact that the attacker's attention was distracted, Laura quickly launched a counterattack. She first landed on the second floor platform and knocked down the attacker on the platform with three punches and two kicks. Then, she picked up the attacker's submachine gun and began to shoot at the attacker who was shooting at the metal ball on the ground.
