Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

People are always climbing up.

From uncovering the secret at the beginning to controlling the Jie family, and then to reaching out to the Nine Gates, what drove Jie Yuchen forward was not only his selfishness, but also because he had to do so.

Otherwise, the negative attitude will one day backfire, and those guys hiding behind the Nine Gates who control them will also control Xie Yuchen's life.

However, this is not a difficult problem for Chi Yu to accept.

Because he does not belong to any party, let alone this world.

There are only a few people who can maintain his connection with this world, and no means can control him.

Unknown things that are difficult to control will always make people feel tricky, which is why some people are afraid of them.

Chi Yu was strolling along the street. His residence was not far from here. It was just a matter of walking through a few more alleys. He had plenty of free time.

The sunset glows in the sky, workers finish a day's work, and children from school return home laughing and playing with their families and friends.

The city lights are bright and the crowds are bustling.

Chi Yu brushed past the crowd, thinking casually that if those unstable factors were eliminated, only one chess player would be enough.

Chi Yu has made decisions like this many times, from being unfamiliar to being proficient, and it will not have any impact on his current daily life.

Chi Yu still maintained his previous style, handling the tasks that came up in an orderly manner, and finding something to kill time after all the tasks were completed.

Sometimes I read in the study, sometimes I deal with interpersonal relationships, and sometimes I find a place to daydream.

The lounge chair in the courtyard swayed with the movements of its owner, and the winter sun sprinkled into the yard, bringing a little false warmth.

Birds perched on the treetops and chirped at him.

Some were saying that the air in Beijing was getting colder, and some were saying that there was less and less food outside, which made Chi Yu drowsy.

The banshee's bloodline was completely integrated under the effect of the potion, but the banshee was a Sarkaz, not a Liberi, so it was both reasonable and unreasonable for him to understand the language of birds now.

Don't understand, but obey.

He himself didn't really want to know which part of the city had the best-tasting bugs.

Chi Yu expressionlessly turned his eyes away from the tree and yawned.

The horn feathers grow from the hair, the soft feathers stretch in the air, and then gather according to the owner's wishes to block the sunlight from shining on his eyebrows and eyes.

The rattan lounge chair gradually stopped shaking, and the chirping of birds disappeared with the brief tremor of the branches. Chi Yu took a short nap in the courtyard in the afternoon.

But this tranquility did not last long.

Someone returned with great fanfare, then left quietly as he passed through the courtyard. He then brought a blanket to Chi Yu and sat aside without making any noise.

The familiar smell was mixed with the lingering smell of blood, as if it was permeating it.

Chi Yu lifted up Jiao Yu's eyes and saw a man with black glasses sitting cross-legged under the shade of a tree with his arms folded.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, but Black Glasses looked basically unchanged, and he didn't look much weaker than before due to the injury. However, he had changed the style of his sunglasses, which seemed to indicate that he was keeping up with the times.

The scattered sunlight hit the man with black glasses. He lowered his head, and the hair on his forehead swayed gently in the wind. Together with the sunglasses, it blocked most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression, but he was so quiet that he looked like he was asleep.

If this face is quiet, it is quite pleasing to the eye, Chi Yu thought.

——The mistake is that you have a chatterbox.

The person who was evaluated by Chi Yu in his heart seemed to have realized something.

The man with black glasses raised his head and looked at Chi Yu, whose eyes were only half exposed under the horn feathers. He smiled and said, "Boss Chi, it's fine if you don't take a good rest, but why do you keep staring at me? If you keep going on like this, I, a blind man, will not be able to sleep well."

Hearing this, Chi Yu curled his lips, and Jiao Yu quickly disappeared in the process.

He put the blanket aside, stood up from the recliner, and looked down at the guy in front of him who disturbed his sleep and wanted to blame him: "I think you are used to being wild outside. There is a bed in the house, but you have to sleep under the tree."

The man with black glasses was not angry. He smiled, patted his clothes, and stood up from the ground.

"You've already said that I'm used to being outdoors. I've been sleeping in the open air for several months. It's normal that I can't change it in a short time. But the weather in winter changes quickly. It may look warm in the morning but not in the afternoon. Boss Chi, aren't you afraid of catching a cold sleeping in the yard like this?"

"I'm not afraid of the cold."

"I'm afraid you'll be cold, okay?"

Chi Yu:.

He suddenly became so attentive. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

There was no sign of a head injury...

However, the possibility of internal injuries is not ruled out. After all, combat auxiliary functions such as health bars will not be open normally when there are no commissioned tasks.

So even if Black Glasses is in his follow list, Chi Yu is unable to read his status details now.

But since Black Glasses was able to come back alive and had the time to look for a blanket for him, he should not die.

I just don't know what the other party has experienced during this period of time that led to this inevitable injury.

Chi Yu stared at the man with black glasses in silence for a while, letting all sorts of guesses go through his mind, and finally came to the conclusion: "You blew up my car?"

"..."

The man with black glasses also fell silent.

After a long while, he smiled again: "Is it not okay for me to care about you? Boss Chi, what you said is too sad. Could it be that I am this kind of person in your eyes..."

His voice became lower and lower under Chi Yu's calm gaze until it disappeared.

The man with black glasses turned his face away and chuckled dryly.

“…Well, it did explode.”
