Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Even though he was aware that Chi Yu liked to show weakness verbally from time to time, Xie Yuchen still felt a little at a loss as to what to do.

He looked at Chi Yu standing there, waiting for instructions obediently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

——Obviously, there was only one choice left for him, but most of the time, Chi Yu always preferred to let him make the decision, and then said in a seemingly indulgent manner, "Since you think so, let's do it."

If this happens to people with low discernment, smooth development may give them the illusion that they are omnipotent.

But in fact, all this was just the guidance given casually by Chi Yu.

I don’t know why this person developed such a bad habit.

Xie Yuchen thought about it, and followed Chi Yu's example to fold up the umbrella - although he himself did not have such a habit, and preferred to throw away unwanted things directly rather than keep them in his hands to get in the way.

However, Chi Yu must have his reasons for doing this, so he doesn't need to question it.

"According to what you said, although the doors outside are open, they are all dead ends. It seems that we can only go through these corpses to see what is behind."

As Xie Yuchen spoke, the flashlight flashed through the crisscrossing forest of corpses, shining its cold white light on them, making them look eerie and sinister.

But neither of the two people present was a coward and was completely indifferent to the scene.

Seeing that Jie Yuchen was ready to move on, Chi Yu nodded gently at him and walked to the front, "Follow me."

The thoughtful markings on the Mo Yu map allow anyone who sees it to safely pass through the room where corpses are hanging. The two quickly left this hidden danger far behind and arrived at a relatively safe place.

The main task of this commission is to explore the underground palace, and it is actually very simple to complete this goal.

Although Chi Yu had not accepted such a general task before, this also proved that Xie Yuchen, as the client, did not have many clear ideas about this.

In Chi Yu's imagination, the best result for him is: he and Xie Yuchen light up all the gray blocks on the Moyu map, and then the mission is completed.

But if this still doesn't work, then Chi Yu will spend more time acting as a tour guide and taking Xie Yuchen to tour the entire underground palace.

Anyway, by that time, this core goal will have to be accomplished even if we don’t want to, Chi Yu thought calmly.

As for whether Xie Yuchen himself is willing to tour the underground palace with him, or whether Xie Yuchen will choose to continue wasting time here with him after getting the clues he wants in the process, these are not issues that Chi Yu needs to worry about.

——Because there is only one choice he provides for Xie Yuchen.

Compared to the emptiness of the hall and the forest of corpses, the room they were in now could be considered to be the one that was decorated more attentively.

"The temperature here is lower than in the previous areas, which may be the reason why the insects are not doing destructive activities here."

Xie Yuchen held up a flashlight, looked at the mural on the wall and said, "Fortunately, they don't want to come over, otherwise, a lot of useful information would be destroyed by those red zombies."

Chi Yu glanced at the contents on the mural and said "hmm" softly in response to Xie Yuchen.

Xie Yuchen was already immersed in his interpretation of the murals, while Chi Yu's gaze was looking deeper into the darkness.

Chi Yu looked at the objects in the dark, his light-colored eyes flashed and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed to be an emotion that naturally arose from recalling something interesting.

However, Chi Yu's expression never changed much, which made him look like he was smiling but not smiling.

So when Xie Yuchen turned around to look at Chi Yu, he only saw an expression on his face that seemed to be silently mocking something.

Xie Yuchen shone the flashlight along Chi Yu's line of sight, "What did you think of?"

"Some things in the past, when I think back now, although they were completely unplanned at the time, the results were still interesting." Chi Yu said, moving his body, breaking away from the range of the light, and walking behind Xie Yuchen.

He seemed to think that he had already answered Li Yuchen's question, so he ended the topic on his own and began to leisurely look at the contents of the mural.

Although it was a common problem for people like them to only speak half of the truth and there was nothing wrong with it, sometimes Xie Yuchen would feel the urge to get to the bottom of things - like now.

But he still held back.

Anyway, even if I really asked, Chi Yu would just give a straightforward answer like "I don't want to tell you", so instead of wasting my breath here, I might as well shift my attention to more important things.

Xie Yuchen thought about it, sighed, and withdrew his gaze from the distance.

He didn't see anything special from what Chi Yu saw, and the content on the murals was obviously more worthy of their study than those ordinary funerary objects.

Chi Yu moved slowly as he looked, and now he had come to the second mural. He looked at the woman in the image who looked very familiar, blinked, and thought to himself that this world is really a small place.

Xie Yuchen had come over while he was lost in thought. He quickly read through the information on the three murals. Seeing Chi Yu stop at the second mural, he couldn't help but ask, "Any questions, Chi Yu?"

"No."

Chi Yu came back to his senses instantly. He did not look at Xie Yuchen, but kept his eyes fixed on the mural. He said leisurely, "I am just taking a look here. Did you get any information you wanted from it?"

In response to Xie Yuchen's question, Chi Yu once again chose to avoid the question.

This may be because it involves some secrets that cannot be easily revealed, or it may be information closely related to him personally - Chi Yu always keeps this part of the content to himself.

But he also put forward conditions for exchange, willing to provide Xie Yuchen with answers about the content of the murals.

Xie Yuchen received the hidden meaning in Chi Yu's words and chose to agree to the exchange. He pointed to the mural and said, "According to the images on it, there was once a very powerful civilization here."

"Yes." Chi Yu said, "They once existed."

The content of the murals is not complicated. Anyone with normal intelligence can understand what story they are telling after seeing these images.

——It is the past, present and future of a civilization.
