[Tomb Raiders Notes] Play to the depths, enter the venue by yourself

Helpless

"Unintentional technique?" Wu Xie was a little confused, "I know the sacrifice, but what is the unintentional technique?"

"A kind of Xuanmen technique, simply put, a person is going to die, but you use some means to make him think that he is actually alive before the last breath of anger dissipates, then he will survive again because of this cognitive instinct For a period of time, if he can make up for his deadly points and regain his vitality during this period of time, then he can completely come back to life."

Wu Xie opened his eyes wide, and immediately wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Yan waving his hand, "According to my guess, after Lao Xie was trapped in the cave at the beginning, he should use his own materialized things to continue himself in the end." This constitutes the first condition, making him think that he has successfully survived, but these things are actually false. It’s just a temporary continuation of vitality, but this kind of life extension has a time limit. This time depends on how long the energy of his physical body can stand by. Therefore, he should also find that his ability is getting more and more difficult to use in the end, so there is a final No matter what his specific attempt is, his purpose is to let himself out of the hole that traps him. According to the characteristics of the bronze tree, it is hard to say whether that hole is real or not. , Judging from the current results, he has succeeded, but also failed.”

Wu Xie guessed something immediately, trembled, and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Zhang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and gave Wu Xie the last dose of medicine before continuing, "Because of his obsession with escaping, he unconsciously used their own power to link to the bronze tree." He sacrificed himself, and successfully sent his body out with the help of the bronze tree, but his body was still old and itchy, and only his soul and obsession remained, and the rest were occupied by the alien spirit body derived from the bronze tree Well, the two phases fused together to form a new old itch, so from his own point of view, what he did was that he copied himself, and then killed himself. Objectively speaking, he was not wrong , The bronze tree was originally considered a ghost, and the place you found should be old itchy. Because you were afraid that you would find that he was not him, and in a panic, you manifested and opened the place where you once sacrificed yourself, there Except for the corpse, everything in his life is real, but if he didn't succeed at the beginning, it will be what you see in the end."

Thinking of the corpse, Wu Xie trembled all over his body. In fact, he still felt that Zhang Yan's explanation was too fantastical and weird, but he thought about the murals he saw in the underground river before, and continued to follow Zhang Yan's explanation. "Then, but he, he..."

Wu Xie stammered for a while, but he felt a little cold even though he was on fire, "Damn it, is this kind of a master? This is simply a walking corpse parasitized by a bronze tree!"

Zhang Yan looked confused, but there was no expression on his face, "Everyone who sacrifices to this tree to seek power or satisfy their desires will eventually be assimilated by this tree, and finally become a monster, just like a deal with the devil. The one who paid the price, Old Itch just accelerated the process, if he didn't do this then he would have died..."

"But just for the idea of ​​living, he should not be able to press the power of the bronze tree to coexist with him. There is a deeper obsession in his heart that urges him to go out alive by whatever means. The half-human, half-ghost is also here. No matter what, this obsession is the key to fusion. Now you can treat him as a mental patient who has magnified his obsessions and evil thoughts. Apart from treating his obsessions to be completed, there will not be much inhumanity. It’s not much different from the old itch.”

"As for why he asked you to help realize it, he couldn't realize it because he was no longer what he used to be. How could he really remember the true appearance of his mother in his heart when he was already in a state of confusion?"

Wu Xie fell silent, Zhang Yan didn't speak again, and the whole cave fell silent, only the crackling of the fire remained.

"That old itchy him..."

"It's hopeless, how long he can live depends on him, but you can also relax, he is not so easy to be completely assimilated, at least he must be sober in the past few years, and he may ask you to report his safety after you go back , or scare you."

Wu Xie didn't make a sound. Although the matter with the tree seemed to be over like this, he always felt that it was not that simple, probably because the surroundings were too quiet. He calmed down more and began to recall the previous scenes again, and suddenly asked, " Did you already know this before, you even knew his purpose, but now, you are telling me inside and out that the matter is over, and the old itch and the tree will have no effect on me."

He looked straight at Zhang Yan, "But I still have a problem. You hated him very much and wanted to drag me away, but even if you didn't know his actions at the beginning, you still acquiesced in the end, right? You changed your mind, and you may even have reached a consensus with Lao You, so he dared to pretend to be you unscrupulously without being afraid of being smashed, so, what happened in the middle, or what did you know?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Wu Xie stopped him expressionlessly, "I haven't finished speaking yet, your expression didn't show much surprise when I told you earlier, on the contrary, you were a little emotional and even in a daze. That is to say, many things in the future are actually under your control, and you may even be hiding in a corner to watch our actions. Also, after knowing that he once opened a wooden warehouse to kill me, although you are a little surprised, you are behind. Yinyin helped him explain, and even comforted me in the end by saying that he would come to me. The reason why your attitude has changed so much is because you don’t think he will really kill me or kill me. Where does your certainty come from? That is to say, is there any other purpose about me, but if he is not only using me to embody his mother, then what is his real purpose, and even your cooperation afterwards? I am really surprised, What on earth is it that can make you all lie to me like this?"

Zhang Yan looked at Wu Xie, who was expressionless and suddenly made trouble, and felt a bit of a headache. This child has grown up, and he can't even fool around. He said helplessly, "Why do you think so?"

Wu Xie didn't answer. Looking at Zhang Yan's performance, he became more and more sure of his guess. This man definitely had something to hide, so he said, "I said, can't you be honest with me?"

Zhang Yan rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired, now he can only blame himself for being too dazed about what happened before, and being unprepared for Wu Xie, revealing too many details that shouldn't be revealed to Wu Xie, This made him discover the problem, but now he is really not in the mood to go around in circles with Wu Xie to explain these things.

And what can he say?Tell Wu Xie that the sky in his eyes is not this sky, the mountain is not this mountain, and the water is not this water. He has actually been living under a conspiracy?Then tell him what his family might have done with him before, and now trick him here to wash his brain and save his life?And he and Old Itch are just pawns in a game right now?

Zhang Yan sighed again, saying too much is wrong, he should be like Zhang Qiling and not say anything.

Zhang Yan sighed, seeing that Wu Xie was still stubbornly looking at him and wanted to say something, he suddenly reached out and pressed Wu Xie's sleeping point, "Sorry, I don't know, you'd better sleep for a while."

Caught off guard, Wu Xie only had time to take a look at Zhang Yan in disbelief, "Fuck, is this soft or hard?"He passed out without even uttering a curse.

Zhang Yan caught Wu Xie who fell to the ground, and suddenly thought of what he had said in his memory before - "We are still suitable to be a solo traveler"

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yan suddenly laughed, heh, let’s see, no matter what the ending is, you have to walk your own way, if you really give up the present because of the possibility of the future, then you are really stupid.

Zhang Yan sat for a while, but still couldn't help taking out the trick box from his bag. He looked at the box quietly, dazed for a while, feeling lost and confused, what should I do?

He closed his eyes, but he still didn't open the box, and put it back into the package silently. Regarding this, he still can't face it directly, so he still has to wait, wait...

Afterwards, Zhang Yan took out his mobile phone. After realizing that there was still some battery and a weak signal, he hesitated for a while, and then typed a line and sent it: "Brother Zhang, are you free? Daoist, I miss you, give me a message." Time and address for us to get together?"

After the mobile phone showed that the message had been successfully sent, Zhang Yan sighed heavily,

He looked at Wu Xie, who was still in a coma, and all kinds of thoughts kept turning in his mind. After thinking carefully for a while, he took out a blank talisman and pasted it directly on Wu Xie's forehead, and pointed with his right hand. Above the eyebrows of Wu Xie, who had been pasted with the talisman paper, at the same time, he rang the bell with his left hand and muttered in his mouth. Following Zhang Yan's chanting, gray lines were quickly outlined on the talisman paper, and finally formed several Strange symbols, seeing these symbols, Zhang Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the old itchy could have such a skill?

When the talisman paper stopped moving, Zhang Yan took it off, folded it, and put it in a hidden pocket on his clothes.

After solving the last problem on Wu Xie, Zhang Yan stared at Wu Xie for a long time. Thinking of what happened to him in the future, he suddenly felt that he knew what he should do. Rather than waiting for trouble, he preferred to take the initiative to eradicate the source of the threat in advance.

"The Wang family..." Zhang Yan's expression became darker and darker. After thinking for a while, he silently changed the focus of the next itinerary to the Wang family. After deciding what to do next, he began to meditate cross-legged, waiting With the passing of the night.

Near noon the next day,

"Obviously it's in this area, why can't I find it? How can I not find it!" Somewhere in the mountain forest, Lao Xie looked manic. He had been searching around here for more than a night, and became more and more frustrated because he couldn't find Wu Xie. Anxious, he thought of that annoying guy again, with a bitter expression, "Zhang Yan, you bastard! I will never end with you in this life!"

He hadn't finished venting when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Oh, I said itchy mouse, I didn't expect you to miss me so much and want to spend the rest of your life with me, but I don't want to Staying and flying together with you, anyway, you are also considered as your nine-door Xie family, why didn't you learn the superficial skills of your Xie family, so unfocused."

Lao You suddenly turned his head to look at a tree, and saw Zhang Yan sitting on a branch of the tree, looking at him with a half-smile, and he didn't know how long he had been there.

Lao Xie was not in the mood to argue with Zhang Yan, he quickly looked around, and after he still did not see Wu Xie, he looked at Zhang Yan fiercely, "Where is Wu Xie? Where did you hide Wu Xie! Give him back to me!"

"He, of course—" Zhang Yan dragged out his voice, "I won't tell you..."

"Zhang Yan! You fucking don't bully people too much!"

The old itchy and blue veins were bulging, and his expression was gloomy and manic. When he was about to say a few words of threat, he saw the obtrusive guy on the opposite side who made him want to get rid of it and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, and at the same time He took out a lighter, shook it at the old itch, and then curled his lips, "If you keep yelling, the hope of realizing your mother will be gone. The things on Wu Xie are all here."

Sensing the familiar aura coming from the triangular talisman in Zhang Yan's hand, Lao Xie couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and subconsciously wanted to grab it, but after assessing the direct distance between the two and the opponent's skill, he Taking a deep breath, his thoughts suddenly changed, he still gave up this idea, and finally said bitterly, "What do you really want? Just draw a line!"
