Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

"Master! Stop farting. Don't you feel your kidneys are weak?"

"Kidneys, what kidneys? Do you think I'm your old man?" Wuxie touched his precious kidneys and suddenly realized the changes in his body. It was a feeling that vitality was turning into substance and flowing away. All his movements slowed down visibly.

After a little thought, he understood the distribution pattern of the Nine Springs.

In ancient legends and religious narratives, there are different opinions about the Nine Springs. According to the most common overview, the first three springs close to the surface, Fengquan, Yaquan and Huangquan, are the destinations of evil people, corrupt officials, and ordinary people after death respectively.

The feeling Shang Sanquan gave him was very similar to Leicheng. There was always a rustling sound lingering in his ears, as if there were fairies whispering in his head. He could not control all his actions, and the threat of being manipulated was happening every second.

At the end of the Yellow Spring, he saw a relic that shouldn't have appeared, as if there were still people living there. The river water condensed with the power of thunder was repeatedly tempered at the end of the Yellow Spring and dripped into a huge sarcophagus, forming the golden water he had flowed into. That was the legendary Lei Ze.

According to legend, the three springs of Zhongsan, Hanquan, Yinquan and Youquan, are places where water monsters, evil cult villains, and troublemakers are imprisoned. They have just passed Youquan, and all along the way are the most primitive forms of strange snakes, corpse-eating bugs, and blinding insects, as well as Manggu corpses that have been trapped here for who knows how long, and many other existences that are beyond comprehension.

He no longer had the energy to get to the bottom of the matter; the endless dangers had left him too busy to take care of himself.

Zhang Muchi, who had a God's perspective, knew that the danger that Wuxie perceived was just a brief peace that was bought with the blind man's complete sacrifice.

Otherwise, Wuxie would have already lost all consciousness as a sacrifice. The danger here is not just the things that are visible in front of you, but the soil that is like a protective layer is the most terrifying existence.

Wuxie looked at his own body, which was moving slowly like a dying old man, and looked at the blind man in astonishment.

The blind man ignored his doubts, took out the black gold dagger from his waist, kicked the ground, and rushed towards the direction of the stone like lightning.

"Disciple, let's get started. Don't just stand there like an idiot."

In the blink of an eye, he was fighting with Qi Yu. The small black shadow was so agile in the space that it was frightening, and it was impossible to detect its figure like a cannonball.

The blind man was gradually losing the upper hand. Wuxie was about to step forward to help, but after taking only two steps he froze in place.

The blind man has mutated! Wu Xie watched with his own eyes as the blind man's every move caused more of him to be swallowed by darkness. The parts that turned into black shadows were like countless snakes twisted together, changing their shapes and wriggling.

“Hahahaha!” Qi Yu laughed crazily, pointing at Wuxie who was standing there and screaming sharply, “This is the person you chose! This is the person you chose!”

Tsk, the blind man felt that his body was becoming more and more out of control, but this little black man was even more perverted than he looked, and even his own kind couldn't accept it.

As his life slipped away, he forced his physical strength to the limit, no longer caring about his injuries, and frequently launched suicide attacks.

"It's useless. Don't even mention that you've become like this. Even if you are a real Buddha, you can't beat me!"

Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow flashed from behind and attacked the weakest part of the spine.

The blind man's body transformation degree has exceeded 50%, and the attack is in the blind spot where he is out of control. Seeing that this attack is unavoidable, he understands that if he is hit by this attack, he will be paralyzed and completely lose his fighting power.

This happened within a few seconds. Wuxie had just recovered and made a decision, and rushed towards the battle area. His eyes were bloodshot, and he recalled every time the blind man taught him. He ran forward madly, but his reason told him that it was too late.

Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness, and a stick-like object two meters long stopped Qi Yu. Regardless of his frantic struggling, it forcefully dragged him underground.

"You..." The blind man stared at the familiar black shadow in shock, communicating in his mind through the diamond.

"Why are you here? Can't you..."

The person who came was none other than the immortal Chang. The immortal Chang could not cross the Youquan River. Once he crossed this river, he would completely lose the last bit of his rights as a human being.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I can only trap him for a while. This is for you."

In the darkness, a black diamond as big as a fist was placed in front of the blind man. This was the biggest diamond in the immortal's mind.

"Black is your last time. I can only hold him back for a while. You guys should leave quickly."

There was no more sound coming from my mind, only the rumbling sound like an earthquake coming from the ground in the distance.

"Who is that?" Wuxie recovered and hurried forward.

The black in reality gradually faded until it disappeared, and the blind man returned to normal. He looked at Wu Xie deeply.

"If there is a god in this world, he just died."

After that, without saying anything more, he rushed forward madly with Wuxie, not wanting to waste even a single moment of the time that the immortal had bought.

But just after crossing the lower spring, Qi Yu appeared behind them again.

There was no chance of luck this time, the blind man yelled at Wuxie.

"go!"

"Go! Don't stop!"

Even though Wuxie didn't understand the roar that didn't sound like a human voice, he looked at the familiar scene in front of him and was overwhelmed by tears. History always repeats itself surprisingly, like Pan Zi who shouted "don't look back" and the blind man who fell before the finish line.

He frantically controlled his body along the rushing river. He saw that the blind man's legs were broken, but he was still biting Qi Yu.

He looked back for the last time and saw the blind man raising two deformed fingers with his last bit of strength, as if smiling, and then his body was cut into pieces and fell into the black water of the lower spring, completely drowned.

The blind man sacrificed his life to help Wuxie cross the Lower Spring. There were only the Bitter Spring and the last Styx left. Could he succeed? Wuxie didn't dare to think about it and could only numbly move his legs.

By the Shangquan River, Zhang Qiling stared at the dark river water for a long time without moving.

He saw it. Even though he had lost his human form, he still recognized the blind man's smile. At the moment he fell into the river, the blind man was also smiling at him.

It seems to be saying, how great it is that the person who sees me for the last time before I die is you.

At this moment, he found that he could actually understand the blind man's expression. Picking up the diamond that fell into the crevice of the rock, Zhang Qiling paused for a long time, put it in his pocket with care, raised his head, and headed downstream.

What happened later was very simple. To Zhang Muchi, it was like a fast-food plot on a Hollywood assembly line. In the last section of the Styx, Qi Yu forced Wu Xie to the brink of death. Zhang Qiling descended like a god at the last moment and threw him onto the shore. The finish line was not far ahead. In the underground world, there were three blue mountains that were beyond the limits of human imagination. They stood quietly like Optimus Prime above the vast Yao Chi. If the Himalayas are called the roof of mankind, then they seem insignificant in front of this mountain.

The mountains are the real entrance to the answer, that is another world.

Zhang Qiling couldn't get in, so he could only help Wuxie get here. The final answer was not dangerous, what was important was the choice.

Qi Yu and Wu Xie entered the entrance almost at the same time. The mountain could be called anything, Dahuang Mountain, Yin Mountain, Xumi Mountain... The abyss where all underground water systems flowed into was called Guixu, which was the origin of all myths.

Zhang Qiling felt his vitality slipping away. His figure sitting on the shore seemed like he was standing under the grape vines in a courtyard in the capital, staring at the iron pieces and diamonds in his hands in a daze.

After the blind man died, he saw the diamond by the river and felt all the traces of that familiar life in the world, both his and his own.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Wuxie succeeded. His unconscious will was restarted, and the cycle with an end began again. All the scenes in front of Zhang Qiling's eyes were shaking like afterimages, but at this time he had lost all ability to move.

Sitting alone in the dark, he felt death approaching. This was what it felt like.

At the moment when his consciousness turned into nothingness, a black stream of water rose from the river and entangled his ankles.
