Compared with Lu Qi, Laura on the other side encountered a more dangerous situation.

Being chased by a large number of storm warriors, Laura relied on her [survival instinct] to find the most suitable path and move deeper into the temple.

Even if they encounter a few storm warriors blocking the way, under Laura's precise bow skills, they will quickly turn into corpses dripping with black blood.

"It's been so long, how could they still be alive..."

While recovering the arrow stuck in the enemy's body, Laura muttered to herself.

Laura, who was one step ahead, did not take the normal road, but walked wherever she saw a road or a rock wall that could be climbed.

The advantage of doing this is that the pursuers behind you will also

After all, not every storm warrior has all the climbing skills like Lara Croft...

In terms of progress, she is also much faster than Lu Qi.

As soon as Lu Qi arrived at the middle courtyard area, she had already arrived in front of a shrine in the canyon.

And the Coronation Chamber is right inside!

Braving the strong wind, cautious Laura held her bow and arrow in both hands and slowly walked into the shrine from the main entrance.

What came into view was a disgusting scene:

I saw nothing but human skeletons in tattered military uniforms hanging upside down from the ceiling in the empty shrine hall!

On the wooden pillars, there were still several human skeletons tied with no clothing to cover them, leaving only half of them.

Judging from these skulls with their mouths open, we can roughly guess how much pain they endured at the time of death, so much so that they screamed desperately until the last second of their lives...

Under the illumination of the candles on the wall, these skeletons were covered with a layer of dim yellow, making them look particularly eye-catching.

However, Laura, who was somewhat immune to the strange and terrifying things on the island, was not cowed at all.

She approached these human skeletons very boldly, carefully observed their clothes, and couldn't help but frown:

"These should be the neon soldiers who came to the island during World War II..."

Laura also found a yellowed photo on one of the neon soldiers.

After nearly seventy years, the photo has become blurry, and it can only be barely distinguished that the protagonist in the photo is a woman wearing a kimono.

In the lower right corner of the back of the photo, Laura found a string of vague Japanese words:

"Sanada-kun... I wish you... all come back - Sachiko"

Judging from the title, this photo carries a woman's best wishes for her beloved.

It's a pity that this woman named "Sachiko" did not wait for "Sanada-kun" to return, but waited for the news of his death.

Thinking of this, Laura looked at the photo deeply, and carefully put the photo back to its original position.

After calming down, Laura cheered up and turned to look at a door in front of her that was engraved with a sun and a woman.

Using an ice pick to pry open the door, she came to a stone room with an open space.

Glancing over it, Laura’s pretty face couldn’t help but feel cold.

Human skulls and skeletons can be seen everywhere, and the remaining brown blood stains on the floor seem to tell that each living life once existed.

Obviously, this stone chamber is one of the slaughterhouses where the Storm Warriors massacred the humans on the island...

In the center of the stone room, an iron chain hangs, connecting the ceiling and a circular fence on the floor.

When she came to the iron door leading to the next stone room, she pushed the iron door that was motionless. Laura found helplessly that she might have to find another way.

After looking at the entire indoor structure, Laura quickly made a plan.

She first came to the second-floor platform on the right, turned it, and opened the circular fence on the floor. Then, she came to the opposite platform, turned another device, and pulled up an iron cylindrical cage from the ground.

Finally, she jumped onto the cage, tied a rope, and then used the reaction force to swing the iron cage toward the stone wall above the iron door!

With a loud "rumbling" sound, the cage broke open the pile of rubble, revealing a hole that could be passed by one person.

Snap!

With her legs firmly on the ground, Laura climbed over the entrance of the cave and came to a magnificent stone chamber.

The entire stone chamber looks very grand and spacious.

In a circular hall, there are many standing female statues surrounding it, representing the Sun Queens of the Yamatai Kingdom in the past.

In the center is a giant female Buddha statue with her hands folded and sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform.

Looking at all the things in front of her, Laura couldn’t help but frowned and said to herself:

"This should be the Coronation Chamber...but where is Himihu's body?"

When Laura entered the temple, she happened to miss part of the conversation between Lu Qi and Lieutenant Storm.

Therefore, she did not know that the Storm Warrior had transferred Himihu's body to the pagoda deep in the temple.

Laura looked around but couldn't find Himihu, and was quickly attracted by the portraits on the ground.

The golden floor is composed of sculptures.

The content of the picture seems to be consistent with the murals Laura saw in the Tomb of Himich.

"The fire ceremony for the Sun Queen to choose her successor..."

"The queen's chosen priestess enters the temple..."

"She accepted your power and became the new queen..."

While talking to herself, the words Matthias said in the cave suddenly flashed through Laura's mind:

"As long as we hold a coronation ceremony and infuse Himihu's soul into her body, the great Sun Queen will be reborn, and we can also gain the long-awaited freedom!"

In addition, she also remembered the contents of General Storm's suicide note:

"Now the queen who was, is, and is forever is left half-dead, her soul trapped in a corrupt body."

The fragments of the truth are slowly put together...

In an instant, Laura finally understood what kind of evil ceremony the so-called coronation ceremony was.

"container..."

"This is not the inheritance of power, but the inheritance of soul! All queens... they are all..."

"you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Laura's eyes stopped on the female Buddha statue in the center.

Looking at the kind-faced Buddha statue, Laura's eyes froze, and suddenly turned into a strong determination:

"Himihu, whether it's for other people or Samantha, I won't let you hurt them, never!"

At this moment, a burst of electrical noise suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on Laura's waist.

The next second, Lu Qi's voice suddenly sounded:

"Laura, can you hear me?"

Hearing this, Laura's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she picked up the walkie-talkie and responded quickly:

"Lu Qi?! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, how about you? Are you injured?"

"No, I have arrived at the coronation chamber, but there is no body of Himiko here..."

"That's right, the Storm Warrior has moved it to another place, in the pagoda at the deepest part of the temple..."
