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

The closer he got to the Buddha's Mansion, the slower Bai Ran's steps became and the more nervous he became. He was afraid of the answer.

However, this is how things are in the world. They don’t take our thoughts into consideration at all and only happen according to objective laws.

Bai Ran stood in front of Zhang Dafoye's mansion and for the first time had such a clear understanding and feeling of how things and people had changed.

He looked at the plaque and the flamboyantly written characters made Bai Ran wonder: were the previous characters like this as well?

The gatekeeper had changed, and I wondered what had happened to Uncle Liu. The young man who was guarding the gate looked at this guest he had never seen before with curiosity. He knew the two adults beside him, so he didn't dare to ask rashly. But he remembered something, gritted his teeth, and said respectfully: "Gentlemen, the Buddha hasn't come back yet, why don't you go in and wait for a while!"

Bai Ran suddenly felt uneasy. He hid behind Zhang Qilin subconsciously like a lost child and did not reply. Hei Xia Zi, Zhang Qilin and Bai Ran were all stunned for a moment. The blind man immediately reacted. He did not speak, but directly said to the unexpected gatekeeper: "Okay, we know what to do next, you go back!" Zhang Qilin also took a step forward to Bai Ran the moment Hei Xia Zi spoke, completely protecting Bai Ran behind him.

The gatekeeper reacted quickly, calmed himself down, lowered his head, and returned to where he was before.

Hei Xiazi then turned around and looked at Bai Ran. Zhang Qilin couldn't turn around at this moment. He thought that at this moment, Bai Ran might feel safer looking at his back, which might be more effective than the feeling he would get if he turned around. In Hei Xiazi's eyes, Bai Ran was in a state of confusion that he himself didn't even hide, like a helpless child.

"What's wrong? Are you not used to it? Or do you feel something?" Hei Xia Zi said softly.

Bai Ran raised his head, looked at him, and said blankly: "I don't know either, I just suddenly feel so strange!"

Like a wild beast that had never been exposed to the world, he was full of confusion and vigilance towards this world, and could only subconsciously find a figure that could bring him safety. Hei Xia Zi did not ask any more questions, but smiled, took off the amulet that he had always been wearing and never left, and put it around Bai Ran's neck.

Hei Xiazi smiled and said, "Look, Xia Xia is still the same Xia Xia, and Ya Ba is still the same Ya Ba. There is nothing strange about them. If you are scared and feel strange, just touch this amulet. Xia Xia is always here."

Bai Ran nodded blankly, touching the amulet hanging around his neck. At this time, he felt a touch from his hand. It was Zhang Qilin who gave him the ancient black gold knife. Zhang Qilin turned around at some point and handed the ancient black gold knife to Bai Ran. Bai Ran smiled and squinted his eyes, picked up the ancient black gold knife, and said, "Well, I'm fine!"

At this time, a car horn sounded from behind Bai Ran. The three of them turned around. Zhang Qishan rolled down the window, looked at Bai Ran, raised his lips, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why don't you go in? Xinyue is worried about you! She was talking about you to me last night!"

Bai Ran looked at Zhang Qishan, who already showed some signs of aging, and stood there in a daze. He clenched his fist but held the black gold ancient knife in his hand. He came to his senses, looked at Zhang Qishan, looked straight into his eyes, and asked him: "Xin...sister-in-law, is she okay?" Bai Ran didn't know what words to use to address Yi Xinyue, nor did he know what to talk about with the culprit in front of him who he had forced to awaken, so he asked in a somewhat stiff voice.

Zhang Qishan looked at Bai Ran without any abnormality. Zhang Rishan got out of the car first, opened the door, and let Zhang Qishan out. Zhang Qishan stood not far in front of Bai Ran, looked at Bai Ran and said lightly: "Glad that you're back! If you have anything to say, go inside and talk!" Then he passed by Bai Ran without stopping at all.

Bai Ran almost subconsciously wanted to grab the corner of Zhang Qishan's clothes, but the only thing left was the wind blowing up the ends of Bai Ran's hair. Bai Ran looked at Zhang Qishan's back and suddenly realized that it seemed like this many times and he could only look at their backs. However, Bai Ran pursed his lips and walked forward with the black gold ancient knife in hand.

Behind him were Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qilin who had been waiting.

None of them changed.
