Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

It’s not that Wu Sansheng has never seen outstanding people.

On the contrary, he had seen too many people of this type, and he himself was even one of the best in the Nine Gates, so Wu Sansheng was skeptical about the enthusiastic praise of Black Glasses.

As a planner, Wu Sansheng must remain suspicious of everything around him, because only in this way can he make correct responses to every possible situation in a timely manner.

But now, Wu Sansheng had to admit that what Black Glasses said was right.

You can't compare anyone to Chi Yu, just like you can't use common sense to speculate on any of his actions.

Chi Yu’s existence was so special that the more Wu Sansheng observed him, the more he feared and admired him.

The complex maze could not stop Chi Yu's progress, and the hidden traps in the circular corridor did not cause him any trouble. In his eyes, this place no longer had any secrets - perhaps when Wu Sansheng didn't know, Chi Yu had seen through everything.

Chi Yu was not the kind of person who would unconditionally tell the information he had obtained, so Wu Sansheng had no idea what level of information Chi Yu had understood here.

Due to the complex composition of the team, even if Wu Sanxing wanted to test it, he couldn't speak for the time being. Under Chi Yu's leadership, he spent the two hours in silence, which was enough to make his eyes dull.

After entering this area belonging to the circular corridor, Chi Yu quickly planned a correct way forward based on the display on the Moyu map.

He watched Wu Sansheng come in and lead people to a dead end according to the route on the hand-drawn blueprint given before. He thought that fortunately this man had some conscience and just wanted them to take a few more steps to turn back and was not prepared to kill everyone.

Otherwise, if they had turned left at the second fork in the road, most of the people present would have been able to reincarnate at the speed of light.

However, Wu Sansheng obviously did not want to waste too much time on the wrong path. He simply pretended to be there for a while and then transferred the leadership of the team to Chi Yu.

Therefore, there isn't much here that the other party wants him to see, and deeper clues should be somewhere deeper inside.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze from the bluestone bricks thoughtfully, responded casually, and turned with his group to walk along the route he had planned.

The entire map of the circular corridor was displayed in front of Chi Yu. There was more than one correct route, but Chi Yu would always choose the optimal solution.

However, this underground maze was designed to be too complicated. Even though Chi Yu picked out a route that theoretically took the shortest time, it still took them nearly two hours to walk through it.

As the group walked along, they had to carry heavy loads and stay alert. They seemed a little tired both physically and mentally. Even the old sheep spoke less frequently, only muttering a few words occasionally behind them.

Chi Yu stopped in front of a jade door and said, "We're here."

Behind him, Wu Sanxing walked over slowly, "Everyone says that the 'little military advisor' is good at finding the way. Now I have seen it for myself."

Wu Sansheng looked at the jade door and said to Chi Yu, "You were able to quickly find the right path in such a complicated maze without triggering any traps. Military Advisor Chi, I admire you."

Chi Yu tilted his head slightly, gave him a perfunctory smile, and continued to observe the patterns on the jade gate.

In this mausoleum, almost all the doors are slightly curved arch designs, but the carved patterns are not the same.

Wu Sanxing had mentioned before that cicadas would crawl out of the tomb chamber. In fact, some shadows of them can be seen in the relief carvings of Yumen.

——It is an extremely gorgeous combination of cicada pattern and snake pattern.

The common point between cicadas and snakes is that they can "shed their skin".

The cicada pattern has no feet, representing the formation of a cicada pupa, implying restoration and regeneration. Combined with the snake's animal face pattern, it symbolizes shedding skin and rebirth.

These patterns are basically combined in even numbers, and even the structure of the mausoleum is built in a left-right contrasting form.

It is hard to say whether the owner of the tomb here was thinking of being able to be reborn through some channel someday in the future when he designed this mausoleum.

So if he walks into the main tomb chamber later, will he see a zombie-like tomb owner?

Chi Yu looked at Yumen and fell into deep thought.

But now that we're here, there's no need to stay at the door for too long.

Chi Yu called two people forward and said, "This door has no mechanism. Come over, one on each side, and open the door."

The two men rubbed their hands, looked at each other, stood in front of the Jade Gate, and began to push the door out with all their might. It took them a long time to finally open the door completely.

The structure of the tomb looked similar to what Wu Sanxing had mentioned before.

However, the tomb did not contain the large amount of treasure he described. Instead, there was a huge bronze tripod placed in the center of the tomb, just above the mechanism lock.

"This... We have been walking for so long, and this is the only thing we have left?" The old sheep was confused. "This is right, isn't it?"

"This is not the main tomb chamber. The truly valuable things should still be down there. But this bronze tripod is pressing down the lock mechanism underneath, and it looks like it was placed like this on purpose. If we want to move it, I wonder if there will be any other risks."

Xie Yuchen said, looking at Chi Yu: "Military Advisor Chi, what do you think?"

Chi Yu looked at the huge tripod. The pattern carved on the bronze tripod was consistent with the relief on the Jade Gate, as if praying to God for resurrection, but its existence here should not be just for this.

Wu Sanxing said that he found many funerary objects in another tomb chamber, but there was only one tripod in this room.

Although these things were originally placed in different places, they vaguely echo each other.

If the two are regarded as equal existences, then one is established as Yang and the other is established as Yin, and the three combinations form a situation.

However, according to Wu Sanxing's description, the things in the tomb chamber opposite had been moved away long ago, so this situation that had always maintained a delicate balance had been completely destroyed before.

Even if they move the tripod away now, it won't have much impact.

After all, Wu Sanxing, who knew the place very well, didn't mind moving things around, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu smiled gently at Xie Yuchen, "It's okay, let them move it, I'll watch over it."
