Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chapter 27: Messenger of Disaster

"...Boss Chi?"

The voice of the man with black glasses could be heard faintly in the distance, but Chi Yu was unable to respond quickly.

Many different voices buzzed in Chi Yu's brain at the same time, giving him a splitting headache.

"I am fine."

Chi Yu rubbed his swollen forehead and walked to the side of the man with black glasses. "Did you hear any strange noises?"

"Strange sound?" Black Glasses shook his head. "We are the only two creatures who can talk here. I didn't hear any other sound except you talking to me."

So he's the only one who can hear those voices?

Chi Yu frowned and looked around, and found that although both of their flashlights were still working normally, the light in the hall began to dim.

The voices in his mind that kept whispering something to him also disappeared as the light faded.

Soon, the hall became so quiet that the only sound left was Chi Yu's breathing.

This time there is not even any room for black glasses.

Chi Yu immediately became alert. No matter what, at least in his impression, the man with black glasses couldn't hold his breath for a long time.

"Mr. Hei?" He turned his head to look at the man with black glasses, but found that there was no one there, and the bronze door they had passed through was closed tightly.

Did Black Glasses leave him here alone?

Chi Yu stared at the tightly closed huge door, tilted his head in confusion, feeling a little unable to understand.

Without his help, Black Glasses would not have been able to lead people through the swarm of snakes outside the door.

Put yourself in his shoes. Even if Chi Yu wanted to get rid of the person, he would at least wait until the other person's value was fully exploited. He would never abandon the person before he had finished using him.

After all, doing so would only make Chi Yu feel like he was at a disadvantage.

And before this, Chi Yu didn't sense any malice from the man with black glasses - not even a little bit.

Disappearing without a word like this and leaving Chi Yu alone here does not conform to the behavioral logic of Black Glasses.

But now is not the time to continue thinking about these questions. He should open the door and leave here first.

Chi Yu approached the giant door, stretched out his hand to crack the mechanism on it, but suddenly stopped.

If he didn't have the assistance of the system and he didn't understand the art of mechanisms at all, why would he want to crack the mechanism directly?

Thinking of this, Chi Yu realized that there might be some problems with his cognition.

He called up the system interface and saw a series of changes in his status in his status bar.

On the Moyu map, the icons of Zhou Zixu and Black Glasses were still close to him, in the same area as him.

Chi Yu:.

He didn't even know when he was tricked. There were so many tricks in this damn place.

Chi Yu was silent for a moment, then opened the consumable item column he had prepared in his bag, found the mysterious awakening medicine that could eliminate special status, and confirmed its use.

Although the mysterious drug has suspicious ingredients, serious side effects, no production date or expiration date, and smells terrible...

But it works very quickly.

But after Chi Yu regained consciousness, before he had time to check the specific situation around him, he felt a gust of evil wind blowing on his face.

He subconsciously grabbed that hand tightly, and with his other hand, he curled his fingers into a claw and was about to grab the man's throat, but after seeing the other person's face clearly, he slammed on the brakes and stopped.

"Master Hei?"

"Hey, Boss Chi, you're awake now?" The black-eyed man's hand was held by Chi Yu, but he didn't panic. He just smiled at him, "I called you before but you didn't respond. I didn't expect you to wake up at the right time. It's really timely."

Chi Yu could sense some regret in the words of the man with black glasses.

So Chi Yu instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he lowered his eyes and pondered what the man with black glasses meant.

When his eyes touched the hand of the man with black glasses that he was still holding, combined with the situation he encountered when he woke up before, if he still couldn't react to what the other party wanted to do before, he would be ashamed of the decades that Chi Yu had lived.

Sure enough, he couldn't have any unrealistic fantasies about the character of Black Glasses. This guy really started to act like a jerk whenever he got the chance.

Chi Yu pulled the corner of his mouth, "What was Mr. Hei preparing to do just now?"

"Boss Chi, you don't know this. The situation was so critical just now. You almost took us all underground."

Black Glasses, who had been prepared for this, was not in a hurry. Even though his wrist was still being pinched tightly by Chi Yu, he was able to find a way to have fun. He raised his palm and shook it at him: "So in order to prevent this from happening, I decided to wake you up despite the pain."

"Bear the pain and wake me up?" Chi Yu raised an eyebrow.

The man with black glasses nodded affirmatively: "The pain in my heart comes from hitting you, Boss Chi, please don't underestimate my feelings for you."

"I think it's about money." Chi Yu sneered, let go of his hand and stopped talking nonsense with him.

He leaned over and picked up Zhou Zixu, who was casually thrown aside by Black Glasses. After thinking for a while, he didn't show favoritism and directly hugged him in his arms, "Let's go, Mr. Hei, you go ahead, we're leaving here."

Hearing this, the man with black glasses hissed, "I'll go in front?"

"I want to make sure you are within my sight." Chi Yu raised his chin, signaling the other party to take action. "Don't worry, as long as you are within five meters of me, you will be safe."

After confirming that Chi Yu was not joking, the man with black glasses turned around helplessly and walked out the door. "Well, since you said so, I can only choose to believe you, Captain Chi, please don't let me down."

"I won't." Chi Yu followed behind him and said slowly.

While answering, his eyes drifted towards the system interface.

【For listening to ▇▇'s whispers, you received ▇▇'s attention for a moment. 】

[▇▇I like your bloodline very much, and choose you as His new priest. 】

[▇▇ has given you a gift, all reptiles will obey your orders. ]

[This is a gift, but also a curse.]

[Achievement: Messenger of the Scourge. ]

This was the information Chi Yu had seen in the dynamic column before.

Although no one knows what the words blacked out by the system mean, anyone can tell that it is definitely not something to be trifled with.

Moreover, he had just been tricked without even realizing it, but the man with black glasses was fine.

Based on the bloodline and reptiles specifically mentioned in the system, it was entirely because of Zuo Le’s race that he won the grand prize.

But one cannot assume everything is completely bad.
