Tomb Raider: The Adventures of a Dumb Man

"Do you know what happens when Wu Xie dies?"

Tiandao’s question left Bai Ma speechless.

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

Bai Ma looked at what was happening below. Without the petty official, how would the Nine Gates develop?

At that time, the Nine Gates knew that Zhang Qiling's immortal physique and the Zhang family's secret techniques were the core resources for the continuation of their family and the expansion of power.

Since the time of Zhang Dafo, the Nine Gates have been trying to obtain clues about immortality by controlling Zhang Qiling (such as the experiments of the Xisha archaeological team). The essence of this exploitation is the instrumentalization of "inhuman resources" rather than equal interpersonal interaction.

The Nine Gates interpreted Zhang Qiling's silence and non-resistance as "acquiescence", and even rationalized it themselves: "He was born to protect secrets, and we are just taking advantage of him."

This collective cognitive distortion makes it possible for exploitative behavior to be passed down from generation to generation within the Nine Gates without any moral burden.

The exploitative logic of the Nine-Gate System: the law of survival of the fittest

So, why should she care about them and sympathize with them? That is crazy.

She didn't have to do anything, they would self-destruct.

She just needed to watch quietly.

Wu Xie is the "game breaker" that Wu Sanxing has cultivated throughout his life. His existence itself is the spiritual pillar for Wu Sanxing to fight against fate.

Wu Xie’s death will directly declare the failure of his decades-long planning, forcing this strategist who is accustomed to controlling the overall situation to face his own powerlessness.

He laughed crazily in a deserted place, crushing the chess piece in his hand: "I calculated everything, but I couldn't predict that you would die before me!"

Wu Sansheng repeatedly recalled every decision he made to lead Wu Xie into the trap: the silk book from the Qixing Lu Palace, the photos of the Xisha archaeological team, the videotape of the snake marsh...

These chips that were once "necessary evils" turned into blades that tortured Wu Xie's soul after his death.

He knelt in the Wu family ancestral hall late at night, kowtowed to the tablet until blood oozed from his forehead: "I turned the Wu family's child... into a ghost."

the next day.

Wu Sansheng immediately locked onto all possible parties involved: he suspected that "it" was organizing a counterattack, that the remaining forces of the Nine Gates were betraying him, or that the remnants of the Wang family were seeking revenge.

He will activate the hidden lines that have been buried for many years and torture and interrogate suspicious persons. Even if there is insufficient evidence, he will eliminate the hidden dangers with the principle of "better to kill the wrong person", even at the cost of breaking up with the Xie and Huo families.

Wu Sanxing is crazy.

He activated the extreme back-up plan he had hidden in his youth: detonating dragon veins in many places to trigger geological disasters and release the ancient virus sealed in ancient tombs.

This kind of madness of destroying both oneself and others is not only a punishment for the enemy, but also the ultimate mockery of one's own destiny - "Since this game of chess is doomed to have no solution, it is better to overturn the chessboard!"

Wu Xie's death made Wu Sanxing completely deny his restrained attitude towards the secret art of immortality in his early years.

He systematically wiped out the existence related to immortality: destroying the Xiwangmu meteorite jade, blowing up the bronze door, hunting down the "experimental subjects" who took the corpse pill... He even had a brief desire to kill Hei Xiazi, until Fatty stopped him with his own life: "Do you fucking want Tian Zhen to die in vain?!"

You see, now that Xiaoguan is gone, the Wu family has turned to Heixiazi.

But Hei Xia Zi’s fees are expensive. He is not a minor official and he will not lose his memory.

Wu Sansheng went completely crazy.

He used disguise techniques and tampered with files to create the illusion that "Wu Xie is not dead".

He trained a substitute to continue the plan, and recorded Wu Xie's voice through thunder to mislead the enemy. This crazy behavior is essentially a rejection of reality: "My nephew must 'live' to see the end."

Wu Sanxing also deliberately spread Wu Xie's "last words" and "prophecy", shaping them into the core of the Nine Gates' new beliefs.

He carved a giant inscription in the ancient Tongjing desert and spread the "Wu Xie Code" through the underworld channels of Black Glasses. These actions are intended to allow Wu Xie's will to transcend physical death and become a spiritual nuclear bomb that disintegrates fate.

Wu Sansheng used himself as bait to attract all hostile forces to gather.

He pretended to be carrying the "ultimate key" and fled to Changbai Mountain, but in fact he buried several tons of explosives in the mountain.

When the enemies swarmed in, he would sneer at the surviving iron triangle on the communicator: "Watch out, this is the real 'Wu family extinction plan'."

Wu Xie's death also led to a complete break between Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan.

Xie Lianhuan accused Wu Sansheng of being radical and would ruin the future of the Nine Gates, but Wu Sansheng grabbed his throat and yelled, "You've been pretending to be me for too long. Do you really think you're the savior?"

This internal struggle ends with the "accidental death" of one party, and the survivor will inherit the sin of a dual identity.

Wu Sanxing’s last moments were spent returning to the West Lake where everything began.

He sat slumped in the ruins of Wushanju, holding Wu Xie's childhood longevity lock in his hand, and a young boy's voice that sounded like an illusion rang in his ears: "Third Uncle, go home."

This old fox who once controlled the fate of countless people will eventually swallow the corpse-eating pill that he had prepared long ago and let the poison corrode his heart - **He refuses to let anyone (including himself) define his end**.

The black bear had already gone for a walk; he didn’t want to play with a madman.

Wu Sanxing's reaction to Wu Xie's death is essentially the ultimate outburst of the old-time tomb-robbing family logic:

Violent projection of patriarchy: he regards Wu Xie as a "spiritual son", whose death triggers his obsession and tyranny with the continuation of his bloodline;

The backlash of instrumental rationality: He believed in the "chess piece theory" all his life, but was eventually completely alienated into a monster by the disappearance of the chess pieces.

This kind of self-destructive revenge is a microcosm of the world of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles": all those who fight against fate will eventually become fate itself.

In fact, the Heavenly Dao was also speechless about such an ending. If you had known earlier that you were so powerful, why were you using pawns like that? You could have just done it yourself.

Bai Ma rolled his eyes secretly. He deserved it. He really felt sorry for the child he raised.

Rather than saying how much Wu Sansheng loves Wuxie, it is better to say that he is so confident in his plan and cannot accept the failure of the plan that he goes crazy. He feels that he has sacrificed everything.

He felt that everyone should follow his plan.

Bai Ma thinks this is a psychopath.

The way of heaven is also a psychopath.

The Wu family is a little psychopath, and Tiandao is a big psychopath, and they both like to endure hardships.

They are all bastards who don't know how to feel sorry for his baby.

Bai Ma, who couldn't defeat Tiandao, secretly bit Tiandao's arm again.

Heavenly Way: . . . .

Which soul can bite it, it's outrageous, what a psycho!!!

It pushed Bai Ma's head and moved away from her.

Fatty Wang finally restrained Wu Sanxing, and because of Wu Sanxing's outrageous behavior, Wu Erbai went to jail.

Wu Erbai: . . .

So it was Fatty Wang who was responsible for collecting the bodies.

Finally the fat man left.

He guarded Wuxie's ashes in Yucun.

Occasionally, Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi would come over to take a look.

Wu Sanxing's ashes are in Hangzhou. Wu Sanxing has an unshirkable responsibility for Tian Zhen's death. If he had said he had the ability earlier, why would Tian Zhen have to suffer like this?

But he was afraid that Tian Zhen was still missing her uncle, so he grabbed a handful of ashes and put them into Tian Zhen's urn.

"That's good. Your Third Uncle can't run away."
