Tomb Raider: As a cannon fodder, I started to play badly

"Bai Ran, I am very contented to meet you in this life! But I am also very greedy. I hope that in the days to come, you can try to integrate into this world and believe in us? Not just because of our identities, but just because we met, okay?" Wu Xie squatted down without hesitation, looked at Bai Ran's out-of-focus eyes, and said word by word.

"Xiao Zhou, I am very content because I met you! You, don't think too much, just enjoy the present moment! You are also the one I care about the most, because I know I may not be able to continue walking with you, but please try to accept this world, okay?"

Under the moonlight that year, Qi Tiezui, who was already in his last moments, pulled him to sit in the courtyard of Wu's mansion and drank with him. Bai Ran guessed that the man in front of him might really be beyond help, and under Qi Tiezui's persuasion, he gave up those crazy ideas and agreed to his willfulness this time. He took out the good wine he had collected for many years and handed it to Qi Tiezui one cup after another. Qi Tiezui, who had never liked drinking, also drank one cup after another, but his eyes were still clear. He looked at the bright moon and said to Bai Ran lightly.

Wu Xie's serious eyes and Qi Tiezui's expression full of regret and concern matched each other at this moment. He curled his fingers. Could he really try to enter this world that didn't belong to him? Bai Ran's heart, which had been firm for so many years, was shaken at this moment, so he teleported away and disappeared from the sight of all of them. He thought, he needed to calm down.

Chen Pi calmly looked at Bai Ran who suddenly appeared, but he had been feeling uneasy. Bai Ran just sat there quietly, staring blankly at the steaming tea in front of Chen Pi, his hands unconsciously rubbing his sleeves. He didn't know what to do. For him, who was in chaos, he had been facing purposeful contacts since his birth, and all the good intentions were based on ulterior motives. That's why he fell in love with this book at that time. Bai Ran envied the unscrupulous trust and the desirable friendship in this book. So, when he came to this world, he was really happy.

But is it really possible? Bai Ran looked at the wisps of hot air, and her eyes inexplicably thought of the past, thinking of the unruly man in the green military coat, the man in the long gown with a gentle smile, the man in the navy blue robe and glasses who kept chattering at her, yes, and the man who was sitting in a wheelchair and touching the pet in his arms very gently, who else, Bai Ran was a little dazed, and remembered, there was also the vigorous and resolute woman, and another one, and another one who liked to wipe his own knife. Bai Ran hadn't thought about this for a long time. Finally, Bai Ran remembered the gentle man who planned and strategized. They came to celebrate Bai Ran's birthday that day at Bai Ran's invitation, whether it was real or fake.

How long had it been since he thought of them? Bai Ran was in a trance, he couldn't remember. He had lived for too long, so long that his memory couldn't resist his escape, couldn't arouse his nostalgia for this world, and made Bai Ran gradually drift away from this world, until only a few endless concerns were left, which couldn't even be called concerns.

Bai Ran raised his head, looked at Chen Pi, and said to him: "Xiaojuzi, can you people really be trusted?"

Chen Pi looked at Bai Ran who was full of trepidation, laughed and said: "Didn't you know this a long time ago? Isn't Mr. Ba a good example? Besides, when you asked this question, you had already made a choice in your heart, right?"

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and said, "Yeah, but so what? I am destined not to be a human being. There are some things that I simply cannot escape from!"

“Is it because you are not a human that you dare not, or is it because you always feel that you are not a human that you dare not? Xiao Ran, you need to think clearly! Some things are actually you who bind yourself! Sometimes it’s not that you can’t do it, but because you don’t dare, so you are deceiving yourself, you can’t! Bai Ran, you have been trapped in the past for long enough, it’s time to come out.” Chen Pi put down the tea in his hand, looked at Bai Ran, and persuaded the person who had locked himself in his own world for long enough.

Bai Ran didn't say anything. He said calmly, "But the bronze door..."

"You know better than me that the bronze door is harmless now, right? The reason why I stayed here is because my life is over. I can live longer here and make use of my remaining energy." Chen Pi said this and left one last bomb, "Bai Ran, it doesn't feel good to deceive yourself!" Then he turned and left to practice boxing in the yard.

Bai Ran watched the white mist on the tea gradually disappear, Bai Ran pursed his lips, he thought, maybe he should be braver and stop deceiving himself. Bai Ran appeared at his mansion again, looked at the door, took a few deep breaths, and then stepped in. I hope you won't let me down!
