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

The smoke curled up, and that wisp of filament finally dissipated between heaven and earth, as if telling all the numb and common people in this world the final outcome. Unfortunately, there are always people who don't believe in fate, right?

In an unknown deep mountain forest, the sound of branches and leaves being ruthlessly crushed could be heard constantly, as if they were making perhaps their last wail in this life.

"Lianhuan, is there anything you want here?" Bai Ran came to Jie Lianhuan who was walking forward and asked him puzzledly.

"Uncle Bai, long time no see. It's like this, I plan to let Wu Xie start going down to the tomb, but you also know that Wu Xie's temperament and skills, although I have asked someone to protect him, but outsiders are still outsiders, right? So, I want to ask you to come out of the mountain!" Xie Lianhuan stopped and said carefully. He secretly cursed Wu Sanxing, the old fox, in his heart, knowing that he had to take this risk.

"Zhang Qilin?"

"Uncle Bai, yes..." Xie Lianhuan was very surprised. Didn't he say that Uncle Bai had already withdrawn from the world and no longer went to the tomb? How could he know that he had invited Zhang Qilin? Of course, he didn't dare to ask.

Bai Ran touched his chin as usual, thinking that he had not been out of the mountain for nearly ten years. Maybe he could try to go down the mountain this time to see what was going on outside. But according to the script, shouldn't they ask me to come? Did something go wrong? Should I still go down the mountain? What if I take action, will it make the situation worse? Bai Ran simply squatted down and began to consider the rationality and feasibility of Xie Lianhuan's proposal.

"Uncle Bai, you also know that Brother Wu has stopped interfering in the affairs of the Nine Gates. Brother Wu and his wife have had nothing to do with the Nine Gates for a long time. Wu Xie is the only child of our Wu family and the key to breaking this situation. Among the Nine Gates, only Yu Chen and the girl from the Huo family may help Wu Xie. However, let alone that they are not familiar with each other, the granddaughter of the Huo family has not yet taken charge of the Huo family. What's more, she is well protected by the Huo family. It may be a fierce battle for her to take charge. San Sheng and I may go out to do something from time to time. I also know that Uncle Bai, you will definitely..."

"Alright, alright...I promise you!" Bai Ran waved his hands impatiently, and he had figured it out. It wasn't the first time, and besides, Xie Lianhuan invited him, which meant that his share was also included. "Lianhuan, when did you become so long-winded..." Bai Ran said sarcastically, then stood up and said to Lianhuan, "Don't move around here, I'll be back soon..." After that, Bai Ran disappeared into the woods.

Although Xie Lianhuan felt strange, he was relieved and stood there without daring to move. At this moment, a phone rang suddenly, and Xie Lianhuan was startled. He took out his cell phone from his pocket. It was an unfamiliar number, but Xie Lianhuan knew that the person who could call at this time must be Wu Sanxing, who had caused him to be in such a situation. He frowned and answered the phone.

…………

"Okay, I got it. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. You must be careful over there and don't call me so easily next time."

"I know you are at Uncle Bai's place. No matter how brave they are, they dare not approach Uncle Bai's territory. But, Uncle Bai didn't hit you, did he? After all, you disturbed his peace and quiet that he had worked so hard to get." Wu Sanxing's asking for a beating came from the other end of the microphone.

"How dare you bring it up? I was wondering why you suddenly asked me to switch places a while ago. It turns out you were waiting for me here. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have..."

"Sansheng, don't be in a hurry to hang up! Lianhuan, tell me, what happened?" Bai Ran leaned against the tree with a smile. He first stopped Wu Sansheng from hanging up the phone, and then asked Xie Lianhuan who had not finished speaking yet.

Xie Lianhuan's body froze, and he slowly raised his head. He began to sweat, and his body seemed to be aching. "Nothing, nothing...Uncle Bai, let's go down the mountain!"

"Don't be anxious! Sansheng, Lianhuan, I didn't expect that you didn't want to see me, Uncle Bai, so much. Oh, I'm so sad..." Bai Ran sighed and pretended to wipe away tears as if he was hurt.

"Uncle Bai, no, it was this Lianhuan guy who insisted on exchanging with me. I really wanted to meet you." Sansheng's voice came from the microphone.

"Bullshit! It's obviously you who don't want to see Uncle Bai! Don't blame everything on me!" Xie Lianhuan was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

"Uncle Bai, don't listen to this kid's nonsense! I wish I could accompany you every day!"

"How could you take away my words! Uncle Bai, I am the one who can't wait to see you every day!"

"Okay, I agree!" Bai Ran said with a smile, in a playful mood.

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air. Xie Lianhuan seemed to be still, and no sound came out of the microphone.

"Alright, alright, let's get down the mountain! Sansheng, you should be careful too!" Bai Ran shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Why are you still acting like a child..."

"Uncle Bai, you must be joking..." Lianhuan muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm~?" Bai Ran gave Xie Lianhuan a threatening look. As he was putting the disconnected phone into his trouser pocket, Xie Lianhuan's body froze and he didn't dare to say anything.

Now that the game has already begun, it is no longer up to us to decide whether or not to join in...
