Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"We didn't have much success in cracking the mechanism lock," said Wu Sanxing.

"I guessed an answer based on the things I got in the tomb and the information I had explored before. I thought the answer was correct, but it wasn't, so I didn't open the door. Instead, I triggered other mechanisms."

Chi Yu's eyes were still fixed on the road ahead. He paid attention to the display of the Moyu map and said, "If you take a wrong step in the mechanism of this mausoleum, you will have to pay the corresponding price."

"You're right, we did pay a price at that time."

Wu Sansheng smiled and sighed, then shook his head. "The mechanism lock turned three times under my control, and the structure of the tomb chamber changed instantly. All the bricks originally stacked on the wall were turned over, revealing many small holes."

"Can you imagine? There are twice as many holes as there were bricks in the wall. Just looking at it makes my scalp tingle."

Wu Sansheng is very good at telling stories. His tone of voice has a unique charm that makes it easy for people to be brought into the scene he is describing.

So Chi Yu made a "tsk" sound in his heart, and silently dispelled the imagined picture in his mind.

This person must have done this on purpose.

Fortunately, Wu Sansheng didn't think Chi Yu would respond to this, so even if Chi Yu was silent, it didn't stop him from continuing to say, "Some of those holes shot out hidden weapons, but the hidden weapons are dead, there's nothing to be afraid of. The most troublesome thing is that bugs crawled out of some of the holes."

"Because there were so many insects, so densely packed together, I couldn't see clearly what they were at first. Then I heard the loud chirping of cicadas echoing in the tomb, and then I realized what they were."

"Those cicadas were kept in the tombs, and they were inherently evil. When they saw people, they went crazy and pounced directly on us. The scales on their bodies were also poisonous, and it would cause unbearable pain if touched. We had no choice but to retreat."

"The bugs in the tomb were the most difficult to deal with. We didn't have the right props at the time, and with the other possible traps, it was extremely difficult to find the right clues to crack the mechanism under such circumstances. So in the end, we stopped in that tomb for the time being."

As they were talking, everyone walked to the end of the tomb passage and were blocked by a door-sealing stone. Chi Yu looked up and casually pressed a mechanism on the side.

Seeing Chi Yu's almost unhesitating movements, Wu Sansheng's eyelids jumped. He took a deep breath, and after the stone door was completely opened, he asked Chi Yu: "You seem to be very confident in your judgment. Aren't you afraid of making mistakes?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Chi Yu asked back, "Why am I here now? Don't you know clearly, Third Master?"

Chi Yu tilted her head and glanced at Wu Sansheng with her light eyes.

It was clearly just a plain glance, but at that moment, Wu Sanxing inexplicably felt a sense of fear from Chi Yu, as if something was slipping out of his control.

As an experienced veteran, Wu Sansheng never doubts his intuition, because this intuition is the precious thing he has relied on for survival for a long time.

So Wu Sansheng forced himself to calm down his swollen brain, overturned all his assessments of Chi Yu during this period, and instantly became more alert, but a smug smile appeared on his face: "Yes, the road ahead still depends on your ability, Chi Junshi."

"You can rest assured about this." Feeling the other party's excessive ups and downs, Chi Yu smiled: "Since you have hired me, Master San, I will also prove to you with my actions that I never make mistakes."

The true face of the circular corridor was revealed under the observation of everyone.

Old Sheep looked up at the arched wall that was several meters higher than the tomb passage. He was still concerned about what Tang the locksmith had said, so he exclaimed in surprise, "Is this really that big? How many good things are there?"

The others nodded in agreement and continued to follow Wu Sansheng. However, they did not expect that after just two forks in the road, they would end up in a dead end.

Wu Sansheng stopped in front of the blue brick wall that blocked the road, and looked around the corridor. His expression was not pleasant, but rather a bit difficult, with a deep frown on his face: "Something is wrong from here on."

He turned around and looked at Chi Yu: "Military Advisor Chi, it seems we have to find a new way now."

There was no other expression on Chi Yu's face, he still looked calm. When he heard Wu Sansheng calling him, he said "hmm" lightly and turned around to walk out with his men.

After Wu Sanxing completely transferred the power of leading the way to Chi Yu, the sense of horror that the other party brought to him not only did not disappear, but became even clearer.

Because Wu Sansheng discovered that he could not see through the logic behind Chi Yu's current behavior.

When people face an unknown environment, they are always cautious. They will hesitate and think, but Chi Yu will not.

He did not have any hesitation in his actions, and he did not need to think about every choice. It was so easy that it seemed as if everything they were experiencing was just an everyday occurrence that did not need to be taken seriously in Chi Yu's eyes.

Just like Chi Yu's sudden triggering of the mechanism before was unpredictable, Wu Sansheng had no idea what Chi Yu, who held such a casual attitude, would do in the next second.

So Wu Sanxing couldn't help but think of someone.

A person who is as difficult to control as Chi Yu, and also the one who brought him information about Chi Yu.

Black Glasses is a weirdo who appeared a long time ago. He always seems to wander around the world alone, treating each of his employers with enthusiasm yet indifference.

Because he cared about Black Glasses' special characteristics, Wu Sansheng had cooperated with him several times. After confirming his abilities, he had been looking for the right time to bring him into the game.

As a result, that opportunity never came, and Chi Yu inexplicably appeared beside the man with black glasses.

Originally, Wu Sansheng wanted to use this opportunity to test the relationship between the two and assess what impact Chi Yu's existence would have on their plans.

But now it seems that the only person who can hang out with a weirdo is another weirdo.

Chi Yu's behavior is as unpredictable as that of Black Glasses. I must be crazy to believe what Black Glasses said.

...Well, it's not like he didn't remind himself.

What did Black Glasses say at that time?

"——Although Advisor Chi and I are both paid workers, we are not entirely the same. Because rather than simply being someone's thug, he is better at being a person who controls the overall situation."

"So, he will occasionally do things that you can't understand. But at times like this, you just have to choose to trust him. He won't let you down."

When he said this, there was a faint smile on the face of the man with black glasses, and his tone was erratic, making Wu Sansheng a little unpredictable.

So Wu Sanxing asked: "Why did you recommend him to me? I came to you in the beginning. I would rather believe in your ability than an unstable person."

The man with black glasses straightened up from the back of the sofa, without saying a word, just looked at Wu Sansheng and smiled.

Wu Sanxing was so amused that he felt a little uneasy. He raised his eyebrows and was about to curse, when he heard the man with black glasses answering slowly.

"Because he's the best."
