Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Can’t go forward anymore?

Chi Yu looked at the man pulling his black glasses and found that his gaze was drifting into the depths of darkness.

There was no confusion and loss of focus in his eyes like that of an ordinary person who was looking directly at nothingness.

So much so that Chi Yu was very sure that the man with black glasses was currently staring at something inside.

So black glasses can actually help one see a lot of things through the darkness. No wonder he always wears sunglasses without it affecting his movements.

After realizing this, Chi Yu's brain started working rapidly, and he quickly dug up the details of their previous interactions.

At that time in the dome hall, Chi Yu's eye abnormalities had not yet subsided. If the black glasses could really see in the dark, then he would definitely have seen it - this was the source of the vision that Chi Yu vaguely felt at that time.

The man with black glasses noticed something was wrong with Chi Yu's body. Although he didn't say anything, he kept a safe distance from him to ensure that he could keep Chi Yu under control at all times.

It seems that Black Glasses regarded him as a potential danger that needed to be dealt with at that time.

Haha, this may be how smart people deal with it.

Chi Yu turned his back to Black Glasses and laughed silently in the darkness where he couldn't see. As he laughed, he turned off the flashlight in his hand.

This is the only source of light for both of them at the moment.

"Boss Chi, what's wrong with you?"

The lights came back on, and it was the man with black glasses who turned on his flashlight.

The light hit the gray bluestone floor, and his eyes met Chi Yu who appeared on the other side again: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not kidding, the road ahead is blocked, we can't get through."

Chi Yu glanced at the dimly glowing system interface on the side, which also displayed the details of the enemies in the next block. They were the snake group, Chi Yu's old friends that he had faced before.

"If the road is blocked by snakes, it is not considered blocked."

Looking at Chi Yu's expression, Black Glasses realized that Chi Yu wanted to have a conversation with him before they decided whether to move forward or retreat.

So the man with black glasses pretended to listen attentively: "Oh?"

Just now, after turning off the flashlight, Chi Yu quickly moved to another location.

With the help of the light source provided by the system, Chi Yu clearly saw that the man with black glasses subconsciously reached out his hand and touched the place where Chi Yu was before at the moment the light disappeared.

But he came up empty-handed.

"I just realized that in pure darkness, you can't see anything."

The man with black glasses laughed after hearing this: "Isn't this normal? I'm just an ordinary person. When I'm in a dark environment, of course I can't see anything."

"wrong."

Chi Yu stared at him closely. The erosion level that had just been reduced was increased again by him. His azure snake pupils covered his originally harmless gray-blue eyes, making him look extremely dangerous.

"You can see it, just like before. You can see it clearly. As long as there is even a little light in this environment, you can see what you want to see through this light."

When Chi Yu's eyes changed again, the man with black glasses subconsciously tensed his body, but he didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and his leisurely side appeared on him again.

"Boss Chi, you know me so well that people who don't know would think you have been observing me for a long time." The man with black glasses snorted and tapped the flashlight with his slender knuckles, making a few crisp sounds. "Okay, so now it's the showdown."

At this point, he sighed, "I thought we could keep each other's secrets to ourselves."

"For some things, I prefer to speak directly." Chi Yu's tone was steady. He just stood there, looking calmly at the man with black glasses. "Trading your secret for my secret, it's a fair deal, isn't it?"

The man with black glasses shrugged without commenting.

So Chi Yu once again took his acquiescence as consent.

"You can see in the dark with dim light, but at the same time, the intensity of light will also affect your vision. The stronger the light, the greater the impact on you. This is why you choose to wear sunglasses all the time, right?"

"Completely correct."

The man with black glasses clapped his hands a few times for his speculation, then said with a smile: "I have answered your question, now it's my turn to ask a question."

Chi Yu nodded.

"You have a certain ability to control snakes. The strength of your ability is related to the degree of alienation of your body. This is your blood talent. At the same time, you can also clearly perceive the emotions of living creatures, right?"

This time it was Chi Yu's turn to be a little surprised, but he changed his mind and decided that since the exchange had already been agreed upon, there was no need for him to deny the conclusion that Black Glasses had deduced.

"Yes."

At the end of the question and answer session, they laid each other's special abilities out in the open, so there was no need for further discussion on whether or not to move forward.

But Chi Yu was a little curious about how Black Glasses seemed to know a lot about special physiques, so he asked him, "Have you seen other people with strange bloodlines?"

"I've met a few, but you, Boss Chi, are more interesting."

So there are indeed people with special blood in this world.

Chi Yu was thoughtful and wanted to ask more questions, but he saw Black Glasses pointing at the group of snakes waiting behind the door and asked him with a smile, "Since Boss Chi can indeed sense emotions, then do you feel from those snakes that they actually want to eat us?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu looked at Black Glasses with some pity: "No, they just want to eat you, but because I am by your side, they dare not attack for the time being."

"Wow, I'm so pathetic."

The man with black glasses sounded scared, but he didn't look panicked at all. He still maintained that leisurely smile, "So how are we going to get through this snake cave? Boss Chi, we are on the same side, you have to help me."

To be honest, even Chi Yu himself was not quite clear about the extent of his control over the snake group.

Although he was able to disperse them at first, Chi Yu was not sure what would happen if there was a person with black glasses around.

The best way is to keep Black Glasses under the cover of his aura during this process, so that the snakes will not dare to break through his defense and attack Black Glasses.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu looked at the man with black glasses and looked him up and down.

During their conversation, Chi Yu was silently increasing the degree of blood erosion.

In addition to the snake pupils, more scales also emerged from behind his ears. The man with black glasses even saw that Chi Yu's ears had become pointier, like the elves in Western legends.

When Chi Yu felt that he had adjusted himself, he slowly approached the man with black glasses, put his arm around his waist, and asked, "Do you believe me?"

Facing Chi Yu's active physical contact, the man with black glasses raised his eyebrows in surprise, but at the same time he replied: "Of course I believe you, Captain Chi."

"That's good."

The next second, the man with black glasses felt himself being lifted up horizontally and began to move quickly.

"Ah? No, wait a minute--!!!"

The man with black glasses felt a little confused.

——Although he said he would believe Chi Yu, he never thought that he would be carried like a princess!
