Tomb Raiders Notes: If Innocence Had a Brother

Battambang, Cambodia, 1944

"hurryup!hurry!"

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the bare-chested Cambodians lowered their heads and carried things out of the underground palace one by one. Small streams gathered on the ground in the heavy rain. Although they knew that there were countless leeches under their feet, they faced the solid wood. All the American soldiers who were carrying nuclear bombs could do was lower their heads to prevent rainwater from flowing into their eyes.

"What will happen when those people come up?"

"Send them to meet God." David counted the supplies that had been shipped, which were full of religious relics. He couldn't be more satisfied with this harvest, and casually answered his companion's questions. It made the people around burst into laughter, and his tone was as relaxed as trampling an ant nest.

In the underground palace

"Lao Gu, something is wrong." The black blind man wiped the rain on his sunglasses with his sleeves and looked at the Cambodian people transporting things out of the country and the American soldiers yelling at them.

"It was wrong from the beginning." Lao Gu's face was as gloomy as the rainforest in the storm, and he spat on the ground. "Labour and management want to give that turtle grandson another chance."

The turtle who betrayed them was lying at the entrance of the underground palace, with a hole right in the middle of his head.

"I didn't see that you were interested in whipping corpses," said the black blind man. "I would rather send an Italian cannon to the foreign devils above."

"When is it? It's not ready yet?" Lao Gu rolled his eyes.

"Lao Gu, we have to leave." The black blind man put away his playful smile, patted Lao Gu on the shoulder and said, "I always feel that something bad has happened."

"That damn sixth sense again?" Lao Gu was unambiguous. He squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces, and quietly hooked up the bag on the floor with his right hand.

"Yeah, let me count to three and run due north."

"My grandpa, please tell me where true north is." Lao Gu muttered, his eyes secretly staring at the Americans.

"Three!" According to Lao Gu's words, the black blind man ran out like a mad dog.

Lao Gu cursed and followed, and there was a commotion behind him. "Damn it, is this a three-digit number?"

"Momo chirping, you are still not a man!" The black blind man turned around and pulled Lao Gu to roll aside. The bullet hit the ground and splashed countless water.

Then a burst of screams sounded.

On the ground, a group of Japanese discovered the American soldiers who were digging for "treasures" and planned to launch a surprise attack to stage a "sorrow behind" scene.

The heavy rain blurred the vision, and after a scream, the American soldier disappeared.

The Japanese commander who arrived at the entrance picked up the golden Buddha that fell on the ground. Then, as if something was approaching, the group of people fled.

If they looked up at this moment, they would find the missing Americans and Cambodians swaying in the treetops like wind chimes.

Beijing Crescent Hotel

(I didn’t find out what this timeline looks like. Alas, if anyone knows, please leave a message in the comment area.)

The blind man was dressed in all black and walked towards a supercar, but he didn't want to see Cheng Yaojin's sister on the way.

"Is it time for you to return this car?" Sister Cheng came up and asked straight to the point.

"Two more days of grace." The black blind man touched his nose and then leaned against the car.

The car door opened the next second, and Hei Xiazi had to get up. Sister Cheng shook the key in her hand. "The boss needs a car."

Seeing the supercar disappearing in the dust, the blind man took out the car keys from his pocket, stood upright, and with a sigh of relief, he opened the door of his black Santana with some difficulty.

"These snobs at the Crescent Hotel are not the same as you." Hei Xiazi said as he took out his mobile phone, "Ding dong~ The order was successfully accepted."

"Hello, hello, I'll deliver your order right away. Please don't move around. It will be delivered in three minutes." The black blind man ignored the mess on the ground and the signs of fighting around him, stepped on the accelerator, and drove Santana in a daze. It has the momentum of a supercar.

"Your takeout." Heixiazi pushed the van away, holding up the takeout in his hand, and adhering to the principle of service with a smile.

Everyone in the car was stunned. The entire process of the black blind man's rampage was on the notebook that he hadn't even had time to close.

"Hey, it looks like I've found an employer. Tell me, why are you looking for someone to beat me up?" The black blind man closed the car door.

After another "friendly" exchange with the customer, Gu Ziqing stated the purpose of his trip.

"I am the daughter of Gu Huaisheng, and my name is Gu Ziqing. A month ago, my father entered the jungle of Cambodia and disappeared about 200 kilometers away from the Banan area. His last emergency contact person was you." Gu Ziqing He handed the photo with Gu Huaisheng to the blind man.

"If it's an emergency contact person, then why didn't the Forest Protection Bureau contact me directly? Instead of contacting you to find me?" Hei Xiazi glanced at the photo, handed it back, and asked.

"That's because you don't answer the phone! Think about it, there have been a lot of missed calls from abroad recently."

"There are so many scam calls now." Heixiazi excused himself, turning back and pointing at the person he had tied up. "Who is in the car?"

"The boss of the Japan Research Institute is my dad's employer." Gu Ziqing replied.

"Japanese?!" The black blind man glanced back.

Battambang, Cambodia

"The mercenary team is already in place. They are mainly responsible for the safety of this expedition. You will be my consultant for two million. You will pay half of it first and half when you come back." The black blind man rarely sees such a generous boss.

"Everyone is here." Carlos, the mercenary captain, said to Okitajima.

"This is the insurance purchased for you. It is also a certificate of life and death. Please sign it." Okitajima distributed the booklet in his hand according to the names of the people.

"According to the GPS, the last expedition team has entered the destination. I have reason to believe that they have found what I want." Okitajima passed the positioning device in his hand to everyone. "Our mission this time is to find the previous expedition and get what I want."

According to Okitajima's plan, the entire team will enter from Banan District and follow the route taken care of. It will take about a week to reach the old ruins. It was one of the earliest capitals in the Angkor era, dating back to the late eighth to early ninth century, but it was abandoned half-way through its construction. Some time ago, Gu Huaisheng entered just to find the pagoda inside.

The earliest record of this gilded pagoda was in the Yuan Dynasty, written by a scholar named Zhou Daguan in "Zhenla Fengtu Ji".

"Youngest, who are you hiding from?" Baqi asked as he loaded the magazine in his hand.

"I'm not hiding from anyone." I replied quickly.

"Then why are you covering your face?" Baqi's tone sounded like there was no silver in this place.

"Well, I got bitten last night, which damaged my handsome face." I explained, touching the triangle scarf on my face.

"Youngest, you are not normal." Baqi pushed the magazine with a click, "Do you have a grudge against them?"

I frowned, checked my equipment, and whispered: "Sister Baqi, don't ask."

That's not a grudge, it's called going to the latrine with a lantern - seeking death.

"Kata ~ Kata" only the sound of the spring is left.

A week ago, Huo Sisi gave me a task to recover an energy source in the small world. When I came to my senses, I had already arrived at the border of Cambodia and Laos. His identity is a member of the international mercenary team, codenamed Lao Yao.

When I arrived at the mission location, I actually saw Heixiazi's information. It really echoed that sentence: There are no encounters in life, and life is full of surprises.

Such a coincidence made me wonder whether Huo Sisi was operating behind the scenes.

On the second day of departure, it started raining heavily. Baqi and I were leading the way, and the black blind Gu Ziqing and Okitashima were surrounded in the middle.

"Sister Baqi, this rain is making people panic." The raindrops fell on the black raincoat, and the patter from morning to night made people inexplicably upset.

"Yes." Baqi raised the gun in his hand and was on alert.

"Sister Baqi, watch your step." More and more rainwater flooded the ground and swamps.

"it is good."

The next second, half of Baqi's body sank in. Baqi was stunned, and Baqi cast an incredible look at me.
