Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

After the voice was played, an invisible force that Chi Yu could clearly feel spread to him.

In an instant, the surrounding environment became as bright as day, and every detail became clearly visible.

The darkness will go away...

Is this the banshee's blessing?

Chi Yu thought for a moment, and poked at the AI ​​customer service interface that had not been opened for a long time: "Can operators who have not been implemented also obtain reliance?"

[Dear players, we have detected that the operator Logos has been implemented in the 5th Anniversary Celebration event. Your situation does not meet the description of obtaining the dependency for the unimplemented operator. ]

Chi Yu:……?

So he asked again: "Who else was implemented in this anniversary celebration? How strong are they?"

[Dear players, the main operators implemented in this card pool are: the special operator "Vishdel" and the operator "Logos". 】

[According to data surveys, the strength of both operators is very impressive, and they have become one of the new red, yellow and blue phantom gods among players. ]

The customer service was also very considerate and provided Chi Yu with a screenshot of the card pool and operator details.

Suddenly I don't want to stay in this world anymore.

Looking at the picture displayed on the system interface and silently calculating the data strength, Chi Yu let out a sharp explosion in his heart.

"Let me go back, I want to play Arknights--!"

However, human joys and sorrows are not the same, not to mention that the customer service is just an artificial retard. So in response to Chi Yu's speech, he could only give a dull reply, which made him dream back to the time of Dongzhuang Village:

[Dear players, since the game is in the internal testing stage, you are currently unable to exit the game normally by any method. ]

[Once our company has collected enough data, we will fix the bug that prevents you from exiting the game normally. Please be patient. ]

Haha, this damn broken AI.

When Xie Yuchen came up along the rope, Chi Yu was standing in a daze at the place where the end of the safety rope was fixed not far from the rift.

During the time he was away, it seemed that something upset happened, so much so that Chi Yu now frowned slightly, with some visibly unhappy look.

It is rare to see this kind of emotion in Chi Yu.

He thought that no matter what happened, Chi Yu would always remain calm, Xie Yuchen thought.

So curiosity prompted Xie Yuchen to ask Chi Yu: "What happened? You don't look very happy."

Chi Yu glanced at him, and the emotions that were on the surface quickly disappeared, replaced by the cold expression that Xie Yuchen had become accustomed to seeing in the past few days.

"It's probably the kind of feeling that... I realized I missed out on an activity I liked and now I can't participate, so I feel a little regretful." Chi Yu said, "After all, I'm standing here now."

“That does sound regrettable.”

Xie Yuchen followed his words and said, "Is this event held in Beijing? If so, I might be able to find a way to let you experience it again. Just consider it as compensation for this period of time, how about it?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu turned his head.

He looked at Xie Yuchen and smiled softly: "Unfortunately, no."

The smile was shallow, without much emotion, yet stunning enough.

It would be better to say that because Chi Yu relies on his good looks, every time he smiles, it will easily make people who see him feel good about him.

So Xie Yuchen lowered his eyes and controlled himself not to look at him anymore.

The climate on the plateau is always changeable. While they were waiting for others, dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

The dark clouds and the night are entangled together, making it difficult to tell the future direction.

Chi Yu had the foresight to take out two raincoats from his backpack and handed one to Xie Yuchen: "It will rain later, put it on."

Xie Yuchen took the raincoat and felt the condensed water vapor around him. "There is too much water here, which makes me a little slow in judging the environment. Fortunately, you are here."

Almost as soon as Xie Yuchen put on his raincoat, heavy rain suddenly fell on the land.

With the sound of thunder, bean-sized raindrops poured down. The rain quickly gathered into small streams at their feet, winding towards the waterfall.

The rain quickly blurred the vision, shrouding the entire world in mist and rain.

Under the heavy rain that covered all other sounds, Xie Yuchen suddenly said, "I still don't understand why he did this."

"I used to think I could see through those complicated things, and that was my talent since I was eight years old, but it wasn't true."

"Because I found that I couldn't see what he was thinking. The impressions of the past were already blurred. What kind of person is he now? I don't know. Maybe I never understood him."

"You have the talent, you just need more time," Chi Yu said. "And you are still young, very young. This is your advantage, so these problems won't bother you for too long."

After saying that, Chi Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the rift valley: "Go and take a look."

Xie Yuchen didn't understand what he meant: "What?"

The next moment, an extremely bright bolt of lightning flashed across Xie Yuchen's retina, and the strong light even blinded him for a moment.

When Xie Yuchen recovered from this brief visual abnormality, residual white spots still remained in his eyes.

The thunder came slowly, but Xie Yuchen's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

—A bolt of lightning struck the rocks below.

Xie Yuchen subconsciously took a few steps in that direction, and then his pace became faster and faster.

When he ran to the crack and looked down, he found that the situation below was completely different from when he came up.

The rock wall at this time had become charred black. The lightning had flattened the protrusions on the rock wall that were originally used for people to climb, leaving behind a neat mark.

The figures following him disappeared, leaving only the surging surface of the underground lake at the bottom.

The water in the lake was still clear. Xie Yuchen counted silently in his mind and waited for everyone to surface one by one.

The old sheep, who was about to climb to the top, was cursing on the water, accusing God of not wanting to see him get away with it. However, he was frightened into silence by a loud thunder.

Pan Zi hurriedly tried to rescue his Third Master who was at the center of the chaos.

When they finally climbed up the rift again, they all looked very tired.

What did Chi Yu want him to see?

As Xie Yuchen was thinking, his eyes unexpectedly caught sight of Xie Lianhuan who was among them.

He lay on his back on the wet ground, his whole arm extended outside the rift. The falling rain slid down from his fingertips and fell all the way into the depths, disappearing without a trace.

Xie Yuchen's heart moved.

He gently called out "Third Master" and received a subconscious response from the other party.

Yes, actually there is no solution to the chain here.

——If a person has become Wu Sanxing, then he can no longer become Jie Lianhuan.

What Xie Yuchen has been pursuing during this period was nothing more than a phantom in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchen smiled and went to look at Chi Yu again.

At this time, Chi Yu was being harassed by a few people led by Lao Yang. He had a hint of impatience on his face, but no matter what the other party said, he refused to agree to take them as his followers.

Looking at them, Xie Yuchen remembered the words that Wu Sansheng had warned him when they were alone in the cave.

"When you go back, stay away from Chi Yu." Wu Sanxing said, "You should be able to see that he is very dangerous. He is influencing you and even everyone else, and we don't know what he wants to do."

Yes, Chi Yu is dangerous.

Xie Yuchen said silently in his heart.

But he didn't need anyone to remind him of that fact.

Because no one knows better than Xie Yuchen that Chi Yu will not be the person he once imagined, the one who saves him from suffering.

Chi Yu is a cold-blooded pusher and a ruthless chess player.

He is a person who, out of curiosity, would cruelly peel open the chrysalis of a butterfly that has not yet emerged from its cocoon, and then observe with a gaze that is so naive that it is almost cruel whether the other party can survive tenaciously in such a terrible situation.

Moreover, he will replace the past and become the new source of Xie Yuchen's suffering.

Should we retreat now? Before new suffering comes?

Xie Yuchen asked himself.

He stood there for a while, waiting for the answer that had not yet taken shape in his mind to gradually become clear.

Xie Yuchen walked towards Chi Yu, and Chi Yu also saw him.

"Did you find the answer you were looking for?"

"I've found it." Xie Yuchen said, "I should thank you."

"Don't thank me, I got what I wanted."

"Okay, then we both get what we need." Xie Yuchen extended his hand, as he often did in those business collaborations, "Happy cooperation."

Chi Yu took off his gloves and their hands overlapped.

"Pleasant to work with."
