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

"This is just your idea, right? Have you asked him? Have you really talked to him? Don't you realize that Xiao Ran has no intention of contacting outsiders except for us?" Master Xie Jiu bluntly laid out the facts, "I asked!"

Qi Tiezui looked at Master Xie Jiu in shock. He was a little unsure whether Master Xie Jiu would say next what he wanted to hear.

"He said that when we all leave, when the world no longer needs him, it will be time for him to leave. He said that he should not have woken up in the first place, it was just an accident, and there was no need to cling to living. For others, immortality is a treasure that they cherish, but for him, it is just a tool for him to change the world." Master Xie Jiu shifted his gaze to Er Yuehong, who was still drenched in the rain, and said, "He has not changed, he is just pretending in front of us!"

"When we all leave, do you think Hei Xia Zi can stop him from leaving?" Mr. Xie Jiu asked calmly, "So, this time, isn't it a test?"

Master Xie Jiu retracted his gaze and motioned to his men beside him to open another umbrella for him. He walked under the new umbrella and prepared to leave. The moment he turned around, he said lightly, "Old Eight, let's make a bet!"

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet whether Xiaoran can accept the girl's departure! I bet he can't!" Then, he left without saying anything else.

Qi Tiezui didn't react for a while. By the time he realized it, Master Xie Jiu had long disappeared. The funeral was also coming to an end, but the heavy rain was still tirelessly hitting the umbrella, showing its presence. Master Xie Jiu's words were like being recorded in his brain, repeating over and over in Qi Tiezui's mind.

Qi Tiezui looked at Er Yuehong who was still in the rain. At this moment, he was seeing off his last customer. There was an indelible sadness between his brows, but he had already walked out of the rain. But what about Bai Ran? Although he had been holding an umbrella and had nothing to do with the rain, Qi Tiezui felt that Bai Ran, his little boat, could not walk out of this rain.

Qi Tiezui looked at the man who was able to face the heavy rain and turned away. This gambling game with no stakes and no audience was just like the heavy rain, becoming a guilty person who disturbed people's minds.

Bai Ran walked mechanically like this, not knowing when he reached the mine. He raised his head and looked at the seemingly insurmountable mountain. The rain had already stained his clothes, and the black color could be even deeper. Bai Ran pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. He finally made up his mind. He felt the vitality that seemed to be disappearing, and smiled like a child who finally found a way out. He turned around and saw the black blind man who had been watching him from behind. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Blind, why are you here?"

Hei Xiazi looked nervously at Bai Ran, who seemed to be fine, and his heart tightened. He did not dare to mention his worries directly, so he could only say with that familiar smile: "Aren't we here to enjoy the scenery?"

Bai Ran looked at Hei Xia Zi speechlessly and said, "You come to enjoy the scenery in this weather?"

"It's a good day to enjoy the scenery, isn't it? By the way, were you just looking down on me? Then tell me, what are you doing here?" Hei Xiazi put away his umbrella and came under Bai Ran's umbrella without any hesitation. When Hei Xiazi's hand touched Bai Ran's clothes that were already wet by the rain, he asked without any hesitation, "Didn't you hold an umbrella? Why are your clothes wet?"

"Me? What am I doing here..." Bai Ran asked himself again. He shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know. I was in a bad mood just now and just wanted to take a walk." As he spoke, he seemed to be in a low mood again. But thinking of Hei Xia Zi's next question, he said in a low voice:

"It's unintentional, how can I know the reason?"

"It's okay, I'm always here."

But I may not always be there.
