Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

After the two of them started to act, Chi Yu realized that black glasses could actually be less annoying.

Before, when Black Glasses and Zhou Zixu got together, they almost never stopped talking, one after another, which made Chi Yu upset.

But now, walking in the dark corridor, Chi Yu could only hear the steady breathing of the man with black glasses.

…It’s too quiet.

Chi Yu couldn't help but think back to the time he had been in contact with Black Glasses. He suddenly realized that he was also silent when he was alone. Only when facing Zhou Zixu would he tease him non-stop.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that every time Zhou Zixu gets nervous, Black Glasses will come up to him and break up his emotions.

Did he do it on purpose?

Chi Yu glanced at the man with black glasses and began to wonder.

The man with black glasses also quickly noticed Chi Yu's gaze, turned his eyes away from the surroundings, and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"I was just thinking, it turns out you can keep quiet, too."

"Why, you want me to talk and amuse you? That'll cost extra."

"No, you'd better shut up." Chi Yu quickened his pace and moved further away from the man with black glasses.

But it was obviously too late to get away from Black Glasses now. Black Glasses, who was provoked into talking, chuckled and quickened his pace to catch up with Chi Yu.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Boss Chi. It's actually quite boring to keep walking without talking. Why don't we chat?"

Feeling the familiar weight on his shoulders, Chi Yu groaned and slapped himself in his heart: 'Why are you so curious? Can't you just concentrate on walking?'

After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't be partial to one and neglect the other, so he slapped the man with black glasses twice: "Why are you talking so much? Weren't you able to keep quiet before?"

As if sensing Chi Yu's resentment, Black Glasses embraced him and shook his shoulders. When Chi Yu's gaze shifted to himself, he asked, "Master Zhou disappeared directly into that mechanism at that time. Now no one knows where he has fallen. How can you be sure that you can find him? Do you have any unique skills?"

As soon as the man with black glasses showed an attitude of wanting to chat, Chi Yu knew that if he ignored him now, he would definitely keep bothering him to get the answer he wanted.

So Chi Yu organized his words a little and began to answer.

"I left a mark on him. No matter where he is, as long as he is still alive, I can find him."

"What kind of mark is so magical?" The man with black glasses was a little curious.

"secret."

So the man with black glasses sighed in disappointment: "Well, I thought that Boss Chi, you have some special ability that I don't know about."

Facing Chi Yu's eyes that asked him to "keep talking", he pointed to his head and said, "For example, there is actually a little man living in your head, and he is holding a map of this place in his hand, showing us the way."

Chi Yu glanced at the map of Moyu that was showing him the way, and said calmly, "Then you have a rich imagination."

Perhaps chatting really helped to kill time, they passed through one fork in the road after another while chatting, and finally stopped in front of a stone door in tacit understanding.

[Underground Palace Mechanism: Have you ever played a jigsaw puzzle? It's just what you think. ]

"Young Master Zhou is in here?" The man with black glasses looked at the puzzle pieces on the door and touched his chin.

“No, this is the only way.”

Chi Yu clicked on the mechanism details, confirmed the appearance of the picture that needed to be achieved, walked forward, and methodically moved the fragments to where they should be.

As Chi Yu continued to fiddle with it, a strange face that looked neither human nor human appeared on the stone gate.

This is strange not only because there are two pairs of eyes on that face, but also because the person with such a face is actually a bird.

The strange bird's eyes are looking straight ahead with a grim expression. There are five skulls carved below it, and its feet are standing on two of the skulls, making it look extremely ominous.

Chi Yu put the last piece of the puzzle back in place, and the stone gate began to make a sound of mechanism operating.

Black Glasses approached Chi Yu and asked, "How do you know it's this pattern?"

"This is the totem representing the Queen Mother of the West. With your knowledge, you shouldn't ask this question when you already know the answer."

“In fact, you can give me a chance to praise yourself.” The man with black glasses smiled, “When I ask you how you know, you should explain to me the origin of this pattern. Then, after listening to your explanation, I will say in an exaggerated tone, ‘I didn’t expect you to know this. You are really amazing!’ - This is a perfect interaction.”

But can't you act well on your own?

Chi Yu was unmoved: "No matter how much you praise me, I won't give you more concessions in future cooperation."

"Hmm... so you really can't give in a little more?"

"No."

Seeing that Chi Yu had brought the conversation to an end, the man with black glasses shook his head and wanted to start a new conversation, but he was interrupted by Chi Yu before he could finish his words.

"Shut up."

This time, Chi Yu used a commanding tone.

The man with black glasses obediently made a motion to zip up his mouth.

The stone door was completely opened, and the dark hall was visible to the man with black glasses. Even the dust raised by the operation of the mechanism could be seen clearly by him.

Countless sarcophagi were placed inside, arranged in a strange pattern, which even Black Glasses could not figure out the mystery for a moment.

But Chi Yu was different. From the moment this block was unlocked, Chi Yu knew what kind of enemy existed inside.

[Zombies in Transformation: Corpses in an energy cycle. If the cycle is interrupted by external forces, they will become extremely aggressive.]

Based on the illustrations, Chi Yu could recognize that these corpses looked the same as the enemies he faced in the initial hall, and that more of their bodies were covered with scales than before.

If they were accidentally broken into and woken up, judging by the number of them, even Chi Yu might have a tough battle.

Chi Yu glanced at the man with black glasses who was lost in thought, and explained softly, "This should be the place where the Queen Mother of the West placed the experimental subjects that failed to transform successfully. There is an energy cycle between them. Before this cycle is broken, they will only be an immobile corpse."

"Follow my steps later, and be careful not to destroy the energy field here."

After Chi Yu finished speaking, he waited for a long time but heard no response from the man with black glasses.

He turned his head to look at him in some confusion, only to see that this guy had a playful expression on his face and was smiling at him without saying a word.

While they were still waiting to go in, Chi Yu, who was furious, immediately kicked them and said, "You are pretending to be dumb again when I talk to you now? How can you be so capable?"

The man with black glasses dodged the kick and laughed, "Boss Chi, Captain Chi, you just ordered me to shut up, and I did it very well, right? Why are you kicking me now?"

Chi Yu took a deep breath and felt his fists become hard.
