Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

When Chi Yu and Black Glasses found the boy, they discovered that he was standing at the edge of a swamp, cosplaying as a thinker with a deep look on his face.

Although the suppressed anger and hatred in him did not completely disappear, they were no longer surging wildly.

This was also the first time that Chi Yu felt an extremely rare sense of calmness from the young man.

The icon belonging to Cheng Bingqiang had been extinguished on the way. Now, the only two members of this exploration team who could still be displayed in the system were the man with black glasses and the young boy.

Chi Yu approached the boy, stopped beside him, and looked at the calm water with him: "Is this the grave you chose for him?"

Feeling the movement around him, the boy pulled his thoughts away from his memories. He turned around and glanced at Chi Yu, "Yes, I think this way of death is most suitable for him. Anyway, I am very satisfied with his final appearance."

It seemed that his client passed away in a very uneasy manner.

That’s good, this makes him feel relieved.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the water, not giving the peacock boy too much time to sigh, "Now that the person is dead, according to our original transaction terms, you should tell me what you know about the remaining bone fragments."

"Why are you like this? You have no empathy at all. I'm still sad now." The boy looked at Chi Yu in condemnation.

Chi Yu looked back at him expressionlessly: "Are you seeking comfort from me? If so, it's not impossible for me to fulfill your wish. After all, we still have a deal to complete."

"But after spending these days together, you should know what kind of person I am, so I can only comfort you on the surface, but in fact, I don't care how you feel at all."

"Even so, do you want me to show you this process?"

Although he is good at acting, he is not always willing to perform for others.

Since everyone knew each other well, Chi Yu was too lazy to waste his expression and time on this, and chose to just say the final word and then get to the point.

But the young boy A Ling has a different opinion on this.

Generally speaking, even if the person performing the comforting behavior is not sincere, the behavior itself can provide the person seeking comfort with the emotional value they need.

But Chi Yu not only has poor empathy, but now he is too lazy to even pretend to have empathy. Instead, he says a bunch of things to him that sound like he has low emotional intelligence, which is irritating.

Isn’t he afraid that he will get angry and regret, and then cancel the previous transaction?

You know, they are now in the territory of Peacock Kingdom, and here, no matter what he wants to do, it can be easily accomplished.

Therefore, even though Chi Yu and Black Glasses were both very troublesome, A Ling felt that at least it should not be a problem for her to escape from them.

But when Ah Ling met Chi Yu's emotionless light-colored eyes, he quickly lost the battle, sighed to Chi Yu, and said in a long tone: "Okay, the rest of the things are in the royal mausoleum, I will take you to find them now--"

A Ling picked up the backpack that Cheng Bingqiang had thrown out when he was trying to save himself, took out a notebook with intricate patterns on the cover, handed it to Chi Yu, then put the bag on her back and walked in another direction with him and Black Glasses.

"Many things about the Peacock Kingdom are recorded here. I don't know what you want to know, so I'll just let you read it yourself."

The man with black glasses came up to Chi Yu, took the notebook, flipped through it casually, and asked the boy with a smile: "A notebook that records so many of your family secrets, and you just show it to us so casually?"

"Anyway, there's no need to keep it secret now, and..." A Ling paused, "I don't really want to be the last person in the world to know these secrets."

Hearing this, the man with black glasses rubbed the boy's still not-so-smooth hair, looked at the boy's hair, which he had made almost every strand have an unruly style, and then stopped with satisfaction.

"Okay, you're just a kid after all. It's normal to be afraid of loneliness. Don't worry, at least now, you still have me and Boss Chi to play with you."

Chi Yu had taken the notebook back from the man with black glasses when he was playing with the boy, and was now reading the contents of the notebook.

He heard the conversation between the two mentioning him, so he took the time to look up from his notes and replied: "You are the one who has been playing all the time, don't bring me along."

"That's right, and who asked you to accompany me? Every time you bully me unilaterally. Can this be considered playing with me? I don't admit it." A Ling rolled his eyes at the man with black glasses and complained.

The man with black glasses smiled and didn't refute.

So the three of them walked deeper into the ruins.

This lost land has been surrounded by mountain walls and has been left unattended for many years. Instead, it has become the safest habitat for countless animals and plants.

The various small movements in the forest basically never stopped, and the dense trees blocked the tops of the trees completely. Only when the breeze blew occasionally could a little sunlight leak through the gaps.

As Chi Yu walked along the way, he saw from among the messy trees that the ruins of houses were basically in ruins.

Rotten, blackened wood and piles of stones are scattered everywhere, and if you don't look closely, you will miss them as natural decorations of nature.

Only the road surface covered with mosses can prove that there was once a prosperous scene here.

There was a record in the notes given by the young man: Just as they had disappeared from the sight of others overnight, this prosperous ancient country also encountered an irresistible disaster overnight and perished.

The author is unable to give an accurate answer as to what happened here and why the people living in the ancient city disappeared.

They just felt the call in their blood, so they chose to go here to find what was calling them.

When everyone set foot on this land again after many years, all they could see was devastation.

They searched the ruins continuously but didn't find a single person. Instead, they collected a lot of gold and gems.

Then, following the guidance of the land, we finally moved forward and arrived at the royal tomb.

The Royal Mausoleum is the most important core place in this country. It is hidden deep in a rift valley, which is full of traps. Only the real royal family can know how to pass through it.

Although the descendants of Lan Lana can be considered royal blood, they have been away for many years and have no idea how to crack the mechanism.

So not long after entering the royal tomb, they were forced back by those sinister mechanisms and chose to evacuate.

The broken bone fragments that the boy gave him were also one of the things they gained.
