Qilin Jue [Tomb Raiders Notes]

The sky is gloomy, and the manic sea wind is blowing against the harbor pier. Yachts and fishing boats are swaying in the waves, as if they will be swept away at any moment.

When Zhang Haixing walked into the dock and was about to board the boat, he was startled by a person who appeared suddenly.

"Where are you going?" The man pushed the sunglasses on his face and asked with a half-smile.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Haixing asked in surprise.

"I'm not here to stop you, how do I know where Zhang Haike is." Hei Glasses said casually, "Tell me, where is he now, I have something to ask him."

"Are you looking for my brother?" Zhang Haixing was taken aback, "What are you looking for?"

"What do you think?" The black glasses raised an eyebrow.

"Because of the patriarch?" Zhang Haixing thought for a while and then understood, "But aren't you with the patriarch?"

The black glasses pursed the corners of his mouth, his expression unnatural, "No."

Zhang Haixing was slightly puzzled, and then thought of something, a little funny and narrowly said: "Oh, you were driven back?"

"It's because there are other important matters!" Zhang Haike's mouth twitched, and he turned his head impatiently, "Tell me, where is your brother? Why are you here alone when you went to Medog?"

"I don't know too well." Zhang Haixing waved his hand, "My brother asked me to come back and didn't say anything else."

"Then where were you when you parted?" Black Glasses frowned, "It should have left earlier than we did."

"That's right. My brother and I returned to Beijing after Medog dealt with those people. He asked me to wait there for a month. If he didn't come back within a month, he would let me go overseas and bring back the situation here. , and leave the rest to him.”

"Where did he go?"

"No, but he left the people he led in Beijing. I think he went to find the patriarch. You can wait for them there, and you will know as soon as you have news. I can't delay here. That's it, there is a chance Goodbye." Zhang Haixing said, turning around to leave.

"Does he know where your patriarch is, so go find it? I'm here this time to give him something so that he can look up clues. You've seen that thing before." Black Glasses looked at her and said.

"What?" Zhang Haixing turned around.

"Do you remember, the Dragon Seal at the New Moon Hotel's auction?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Zhang Haixing nodded, and then seeing Zhang Haike staring at her silently, as if hinting at something, she suddenly reacted, and said in surprise, "It can't be that... you got it, right?"

"That's right," Black Glasses said, "Zhang Haike should have told you about the origin of that thing, and the reason for everything now. Then you should understand why I'm looking for him."

Zhang Haixing turned around, her face became serious, "What should I do?"

"We'll talk after leaving here." The black glasses looked around.

Zhang Haixing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

The black glasses walked towards the exit of the pier, then suddenly turned around and asked Zhang Haixing who was following him: "Since you were all there during the auction, why didn't you make any movement at that time?"

Zhang Haixing said: "It was the patriarch who told us not to act rashly. He has always had his own plan. We are afraid of bad things, so we follow his instructions and just stay there and do nothing but look for clues. After the auction, go to Medog a little later than him."

"After the auction?" The black glasses stopped suddenly, with a surprised look on his face, "You mean, he said he would go there before then?"

"Yes."

But the black glasses suddenly lowered his face, his hands were slowly clenched, and his voice seemed to be suppressed, "It turns out that he was going to do that a long time ago..."

"What?" Zhang Haixing looked at the gloomy black glasses suspiciously.

"Bastard!" The black glasses walked forward suddenly, with a look of eagerness and a hint of annoyance, and said to himself suddenly as he walked: "So it was decided from the beginning, no wonder we all left! Wait for me, Zhang Qiling Don't even think about dying alone!"

"Hey!" Zhang Haixing quickly followed, "What on earth are you thinking?"

The black glasses didn't answer her, and after quickly leaving the pier, they got into a car directly.Zhang Haixing sat next to him, her face full of confusion, "What's wrong?"

The black glasses ordered the man to drive, and then fell silent for a moment. After regaining his emotions, he said in a still suppressed voice: "I'm afraid your brother will let you go back first because he knows the real reason why your patriarch did what he did."

"The real reason?" Zhang Haixing was stunned.

Black Glasses did not immediately explain, but asked instead: "The branch of the Zhang family will develop overseas at first, do you know why?"

"It should be to expand the influence and scope of the family, and there were some conflicts between the main family and the branch family at that time, and it was only after the division of the family that it eased." Zhang Haixing said.

"It can't be said to be a contradiction." Black Glasses said, "Although I am not a member of the Zhang family, I can say that I am not qualified to judge this at all, but I know what happened to your patriarch better than anyone else."

Zhang Haixing was a little puzzled.

"That mysterious organization has taken many actions against the Zhang family overseas, do you know?"

"Yes." Zhang Haixing nodded, "They once wanted to intervene in the Zhang family, and sent many internal members to investigate, but they were all suppressed."

"This is what I want to say. Those people are so persistent in doing one thing, including the old nine-door turmoil they provoked more than 20 years ago. The purpose is to protect the secrets of the Zhang family. At that time, those people were already looking for Longxi. Although they didn't know why they wanted that thing, but because they got it later, I don't know what happened, but the Zhang family once fell apart. In order to keep the secret, Qi Ling found Lao Jiumen, but Lao Jiumen broke his promise. In order not to let the secret leak out and to preserve the whole family, he entered the Bronze Gate himself, and even let the clan members of the branch family leave their home and go overseas. Those Man's plan failed and there was no trace of it for a long time."

"How can you be so clear?" Zhang Haixing was surprised.

"Because earlier," the black glasses glanced at her, "I stayed by Qi Ling's side. Of course, you don't know many things after that when you are abroad. When I found Qi Ling, he had a seizure. I forgot everything, I wanted him to remember slowly, but who knew he disappeared suddenly. I have been looking for him all those years, and I stopped him in Changbai Mountain when the organization started to appear again and you found something wrong and started investigating .I don’t need to talk about the rest of the matter.”

"But, what does this have to do with what you said just now that my brother had time to stop it?"

"Because those people wanted to continue the plan of the year, Qi Ling had no choice but to enter the door alone in order to stop it. Although I don't know what's inside, it will definitely not be a good thing, and..." Black Glasses Without further ado, the clenched hands clenched tightly.

"No wonder my brother asked me to go back." Zhang Haixing said thoughtfully, "He must have thought that something would happen. But one thing I am very surprised is how did the patriarch know that the organization would have a future when he first noticed this? action?"

"I don't know either." The black glasses looked solemn, "I always feel that something is missing...the key to connect these together, tsk."

"Could it be that...someone did it on purpose?" Zhang Haixing thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Think about it, otherwise it was such a coincidence that it first attracted our attention, and at the same time the Huo family found something wrong and started investigating, and then The patriarch was also involved at that time."

"It's not very likely," Black Glasses frowned. "If I hadn't found him and prevented him from entering the bronze door, nothing would happen."

"But that's the only way to make sense. If you think about it carefully, is there really no one special?"

"A special person..." The black glasses moved his eyes out of the car window, thinking, suddenly, his face changed suddenly.

"remembered?"

The black glasses turned back slowly, with an inexplicable dangerous aura all over his body, "It's that guy... I didn't expect the most unlikely person... Hmph, he actually hid his identity in this way."

"Who?" Zhang Haixing asked hurriedly.

The black glasses were silent for a while, and then said: "The young master of the Qi family who has disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time."

Zhang Haixing suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Yes, him?"

……

In the empty and lonely darkness, the huge and vague silhouette of the ruins stands ghostly in the darkness, like a huge tomb.

It is like the dead silence that no one has visited for thousands of years, and no one has uncovered the secrets buried under the darkness.Only the hollow and ethereal voice echoed, far away.

"You arranged all this?"

"Ah, that's right. I did it all. Unexpectedly, I have been lurking for so many years and used many people... just for this moment."

"……why?"

"Why... oh, for many reasons, and also for the complete end of the cycle of death that has lasted for a hundred years."

"You don't have to do that at all."

"I can't live for long... Hehe, you should leave now, everything, everything you have carried, is over, and those people will disappear from now on, you can rest assured to find your connection in this world , live in peace. I... can only do this for you. "

"It doesn't have to be that way."

"Think whatever you want, maybe you won't believe what I say, but just take it as an explanation for my obsession in my heart."

"Go out together, you don't have to die."

"It's useless... What can I do if I don't die? Instead of becoming a monster with neither human nor ghost, I would rather leave with a secret like this. You also understand that everyone who participated in that incident at the beginning, which one is not now The ending. I have survived until now, and I just gave myself an obsession, hoping to help you in the end, at least...to let you remember that there was a person named Qi Yu who appeared..."
