Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

Young Master San pouted and stared at them with twinkling eyes. What was fed into his mouth was not meat. The pie that fell from the sky must be filled with shit. Having known them for so many years, he knew the conduct of these guys too well.

Xiaohua patted Wuxie on the shoulder and consoled him, "Maybe they ate our food and feel guilty about it?"

"Do you believe what you said?"

"I don't believe it." Xiaohua looked at him seriously, "But I keep looking forward to it. I believe there is still warmth in this world."

"That's impossible." Zhang Musi immediately poured a bucket of ice water on him. "How can you two treat us to a meal? Ha, you must be kidding. You must be up to something bad."

Xiaohua looked away. Liu Sang was indeed a real person and he had nothing to say. Besides, based on the amount of money he had been cheated of before, the information he obtained today was enough to offset the bill of the Crescent Hotel.

When sharing the money equally with Wuxie, the shrewd eyes instantly turned to Wuxie. Not a penny less.

Wuxie no longer had the heart to worry about the bill. He firmly believed that he was in the countdown to death. After Zhang Muchi's repeated explanations, he reluctantly believed it.

"What's going on with the corpse dog hanging?"

He doesn't want to become a monster even if he can't die!

Xiaohua also turned her attention to Zhang Hailou, and saw that he took out a fried dough stick from somewhere and started eating it. The two people who were full of doubts did not feel hungry at all and just waited for his answer.

"Can you tell me?" He glanced at Zhang Qiling. This kind of thing requires seeking opinions.

Zhang Qiling thought for a while and nodded.

Zhang Hailou immediately opened up, "First of all, you have to understand what the corpse dog hanging is? And the heretic that the Zhang family has been monitoring for a long time."

"Let me give you an example. You know Black Fly, right?"

The two nodded. The Wu family's specially trained dog was targeting black flies from the beginning.

"So which one do you think is black and which one is white, the corpse dog hanging or the black flying child?"

"Of course the Black Flying Tigers are the villains!" Wu Xie shouted excitedly, "They are parasitized by snakes and kill people who enter the ancient tomb. The Wang family also mass-produces the Black Flying Tigers."

Zhang Hailou shook his head. "That's from your perspective. From our perspective, the Black Flying Boys are a positive force because in the beginning, they were trained not to target all tomb robbers, but to target corpse dog hangers."

"how come?"

"First of all, you have to understand that the Corpse Dog Hanging is just a name for people who have abnormal conditions and gather in the tomb-robbing world. It does not mean that they are a group independent of the world, just like the cockscomb snake is a subspecies of the black-haired snake."

This involves the most fundamental question about this world. The corpse dogs are essentially a subspecies of human creatures controlled by the energy radiation under the Kunlun Mountains. After being irradiated by the power, they will lose their self-awareness for a period of time and become puppets and slaves controlled by an unknown consciousness, just like the worker ants in an ant colony who are controlled by the queen ant's orders and have goals deeply implanted in their minds. This is not uncommon in this world.

This kind of slaves also have levels. The lowest level is the so-called tomb robbers who have eaten the right kind of dead human flesh. The corpses buried in ancient tombs and radiated by the energy of the earth veins contain extremely trace amounts of viruses or microorganisms. When these things enter the human body, they will open an energy exchange channel with the Kunlun Mountains, but the energy at this time is pitifully small, and the behavior is only short-term and uncontrolled.

But at the same time, there will be an identity mark like a temporary membership card. When the group lurking in the dark thinks you are useful, they will give you a piece of the right "meat". The end is not the "meat", but the earth energy contained in it. For example, stone moles, the meat of abnormal corpses, or some inexplicable products belong to this category. People who eat these things officially become driven bodies, and will unconsciously do some things while sleeping or inadvertently.

As time went by, just as Wu Laogou described, the flesh inside the human skin came alive, as if hiding something. Wen Xia who killed Wu Sanxing, the natives in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and A Xi under Chenpi Asi were all such creatures.

Going further, there are the large number of so-called immortal transformations recorded in history, the vast number of human skin figurines in Leicheng, the possessed immortal objects, and the slugs under the human skin in the underwater tombs of Qi Yu and Xisha.

The final destination of these living flesh is to enter the underground space of Shambhala and complete the final evolution or fusion.

In fact, this also explains why Wuxie can see things that others cannot see, because these are individuals that are obscured or shielded by the dragon vein energy, and they can empathize with the same kind of corpse dogs and cranes. Whether it is the "Venus Umbrella" or the Cemetery, or even the final Flower-Shaking Hand Manggusi, the same principle applies. What Wuxie can see, the corpse dogs and cranes can also see clearly.

They have only one goal, to recapture the abnormal energy beneath Kunlun Mountain that belongs to them.

Through the Zhang family's long-term research, it can be said that they have basically figured out the general context of the abnormalities in this world. In this small courtyard without any danger, Xie Yuchen and Wuxie have truly solved the secrets of the entire world.

They were not even mentally prepared. Just from the common group of hanging corpse dogs, they were able to extend the idea to the origin of all civilizations in the world.

From the cold moonlight at midnight to the rising sun, they seemed to have experienced tens of thousands of years of war without the smoke of gunpowder, the arduous war between humans and gods, and between demigods and humans. Looking at the land beneath their feet, they understood for the first time the meaning of their standing here.

This is the victory of the Son of Man in a tragic war with countless treacherous and powerful forces and countless sacrifices.

Those powerful "gods" are forever buried under the earth's crust, waiting for the opportunity to come in the darkness, always ready to return to the surface, and the Son of Man at that time will once again become the livestock and slaves that were kept in captivity ten thousand years ago.

Every struggle forward when on the verge of extinction and every firm choice at major turning points are the most important reasons why humans, such skinny monkeys, can stand in the sun.

"So, for humans, the black flies were domesticated in primitive times to prevent abnormal energy radiation and to return to the surface of the earth. They are the positive characters."

Wuxie's eyes were as dark as a panda's. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He didn't even know how many times his clothes had been soaked with cold sweat and evaporated by his body temperature that night.

"Then what are the memories I have of Qi Yu..."

"This is very simple. There is a limit to what humans can learn, but there is no limit to what a Corpse Dog can learn. This is similar to the servers and computers in an Internet cafe. Their memories and consciousness are shared in some cases. Your so-called possession of Qi Yu's memories is only because you are both Corpse Dogs and have been connected to Qi Yu's brain consciousness. You are still you."
