Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Standing on the dirt road that was already populated by people, A Ling looked a little dazed.

Although the experience of these three days did not cause any damage to his body, it caused great harm to his spirit, and even his worldview was refreshed.

If possible, he wished that he had not met Chi Yu and Black Glasses at this age. In this way, perhaps he would not have suffered those helpless moments in the rain forest.

However, Chi Yu was not concerned about the complicated mental journey of the Peacock Boy. He took the two of them for a while, entered Mengla County, and then stopped at the door of a local police station.

"arrive."

Hearing this, Ah Ling looked around and found that there were no other special buildings around except the police station in front of him, so he showed a puzzled expression: "Why did you bring us to the police station?"

Chi Yu looked back at him indifferently, with a string of ellipsis appearing in his heart.

What's wrong with this kid's brain? Why does his IQ seem to fluctuate?

Was it that the nine-year compulsory education and safety education were not popularized in time, so that this child has no awareness of calling the police when encountering something?

Chi Yu thought about it, and thought that the village where the Peacock Boy lived before seemed to be isolated from the world. It should be a place that ordinary people could not easily reach, so it was not discovered by the evil criminals until now and was destroyed.

Therefore, even if the boy is actually literate, his educational record still lists him as an illiterate, and he has not even graduated from elementary school.

It's really pitiful if you think about it this way.

So Chi Yu's originally speechless look suddenly turned into pity.

"Are you thinking about some bad things again?"

Looking at Chi Yu's eyes, A Ling suddenly felt a chill. He hissed and took two steps back. "This is not some uninhabited deep mountain forest now. If you try to trick me again, I will yell and call everyone over. Then you won't be able to run away!"

"You can think of calling for help, but why didn't you think that I was here to take you to call the police?"

Chi Yu "tsk"ed and glanced at the boy with disdain: "Given the situation in your village, it would be considered a major case in modern society. Go in and call the police. They won't ignore you then."

The man with black glasses laughed enough and came over: "Your family is gone now. It's a bit difficult for a child like you to survive in this world alone. It's better to go directly to your police uncle. They will definitely find a way to at least prevent you from starving to death on the street."

Listening to the two people's instructions, A Ling suddenly understood the meaning behind these words.

——The journey has actually ended and they are about to part here.

Chi Yu and Hei Yanjing had no obligation to take care of him, so it was understandable that they chose to keep him here. At least before they parted, they remembered to find someone he could trust.

Just like Black Glasses said, I won’t let him starve to death on the streets alone.

But even so, an indescribable sadness welled up in A Ling's heart.

Feeling the strong sadness coming from the Peacock Boy, Chi Yu blinked, wondering why every time after completing a commission, the people he had led would unconsciously reveal sadness.

Anyway, he always feels happy when work is finished.

This is probably why human joys and sorrows are not shared.

"I may not be able to do it alone. You know, I have been living in the village before, and I don't understand many things..." The boy hesitated, "Can you go with me? Just as a last favor for me?"

If it was any other request, it would be fine, but the process of reporting a murder case is so troublesome, and it seems that what they did was illegal...

Chi Yu thought about it and rejected the peacock boy's proposal: "Our identities are not suitable, you go by yourself."

Facing the boy's disappointed look, Chi Yu remained unmoved and added to him: "You are a smart man. Remember not to say things that you shouldn't say, and don't mention us to the police."

"Boss Chi is right. Our profession is not something that can be seen in public. What we fear most is being involved in this kind of thing."

The man with black glasses smiled at the boy and said, "Look at how hard Boss Chi and I worked to bring you back from the rain forest. You must not reveal our names, kid."

"Okay then." Peacock Boy sighed in disappointment, took two steps forward, paused, and looked back at them, "You haven't called my name yet."

The boy said, "I just thought about it and felt that at least at this time, a slightly more formal farewell is still necessary, so..."

Faced with the expectant eyes of the Peacock Boy, Chi Yu was silent for a moment.

What was his name again?

Before, I had always called him "Peacock" and "Peacock" in my mind, and it seemed that I had never paid attention to what the child's actual name was.

Chi Yu searched his memory for a long time and found that from the time he came to Xishuangbanna and met Cheng Bingqiang, and until now, he had indeed not heard the boy's name anywhere.

So he turned his gaze to the man with black glasses beside him, but found that the man probably didn't even know the boy's name. At this moment, he turned his face away and whistled leisurely.

Seeing the two of them acting like this, A Ling also fell silent.

"…So you guys don't know my name yet?"

"……Peacock?"

A big question mark suddenly appeared above A Ling's head.

All those sad emotions dissipated from my heart along with Chi Yu's tentative words, and were replaced by a feeling of suffocation that had nowhere to vent.

"Peacock? Calling me?" A Ling pointed at himself and asked Chi Yu.

Chi Yu nodded.

The soft black hair swayed in the air with his movements, and coupled with the other person's beautiful face, A Ling could even taste a kind of damn well-behaved feeling from Chi Yu's behavior.

But the words coming out of the other person's mouth were not so comforting: "You haven't introduced yourself to me, so it's normal that I don't know your name."

"What do you mean you didn't know me because I didn't introduce myself? I've already found out your name from others! You just don't care about me at all!"

When Ah Ling said this, he looked at Chi Yu's expression and suddenly realized that he really thought so. So he became angry and shouted to him and Black Glasses: "My name is Ah Ling, Ling as in Ling Yu Ling! You better remember it this time!"

"Got it, Ah, Ling——"

The man with black glasses stretched out his tone and snorted at A Ling, "Don't be so anxious, little boy. It's easy to get angry and not grow taller."

Ah Ling was so angry that he was about to rush over to duel with him on the spot, but halfway through, he was stopped by a hand wearing a black glove, and he was turned back without paying attention.

"Stop making trouble, A-Ling."

Chi Yu's voice was still as cold as ever, but in this situation, A Ling could hear a gentle emotion in it.

The coldness from the other person's hands could not be completely blocked even through leather gloves and a layer of clothing. He pushed A Ling from behind. The force was not very strong, but it was this force that pushed A Ling forward.

"You should move on."
