Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Hu Ming couldn't figure out why the young man could still remember him even after losing all his memories.

Although Hu Ming achieved perfect immortality, the problem is that Hu Ming was never a researcher.

Regarding the ancient methods of achieving immortality, Hu Ming only knew some of the principles; as for the many mysteries within...
Hu Ming really didn't know the reason behind it.

Moreover, the corpse beetle pill that the young man took had been processed a second time by Wang Zanghai, which makes it even more difficult to understand.

If we're talking about Hu Ming and the others who were forgotten by Xiao Ge, then...
Is it because Hu Ming and Xiao Ge once entered the world behind the bronze door together?
Hu Ming could find no other explanation besides this.

But it's good this way. Being remembered by the young man is something to be proud of.

For example, the next time Hu Ming sees the blind man, he can brag to him a bit.

I wonder how complicated Wu Xie's thoughts will be when he sees Xiao Ge, who has lost his memory, during his trip to Changsha.

After all, in Wu Xie's eyes, Xiao Ge was a friend who had shared joys and sorrows with him!
The feeling of being forgotten by friends, ugh!
We changed our route midway, passing through SJZ, and drove all the way to Changsha.

This time, nothing ridiculous happened that made Hu Ming change his itinerary halfway through.

Just as Hu Ming had predicted, he and his brother did not arrive in Changsha until the evening of the following day.

After lighting an incense stick for Er Yuehong and Ya Tou on the outskirts of Changsha, Hu Ming slowly drove his car toward the place he had agreed to meet with Wu Xie.

It is worth mentioning that after Chen Pi Asi "disappeared," the Chen family's business was greatly affected, to the point that it impacted the entire industry in Changsha.

Wu Sansheng and Chen Pi were undoubtedly the two leading figures in Changsha's underground tomb raiding and stolen goods dealing industry.

Both of them were from the Nine Gates, and although they were both ruthless, they were not without reason.

However, compared to today's young people, they are more cautious and know what order and respect are.

For so many years, with the suppression of these two individuals, some ambitious people in Changsha have never had any chance to rise to prominence.

But now, both of them have disappeared, and there is no one of sufficient influence to suppress the demons and monsters in Changsha.

Changsha these days...is a mess!
Of course, this refers to the underground business of tomb raiding and selling stolen goods.

These people are quite clear-headed; they know that this is no longer the golden age, and no matter how big their business becomes, a small group can never compete with a nation.

They were doing illegal business, and they knew that these things absolutely could not be brought into the open.

Therefore, no matter how big the conflict is, it will not affect the lives of normal people.

Wu Xie, Fatty, and Panzi were located in an underground gang run by Wu Sansheng in Changsha, a very secluded location.

According to the route provided by Wu Xie, Hu Ming and Xiao Ge passed through some hidden corners.

Along the way, we witnessed quite a few small-scale firefights.

This is a struggle for territory and the right to speak.

In the business of tomb raiding, problems can never be solved by reasoning.

People in this line of work live on the edge, risking their lives for a living. It's all too common for them to fight to the death over a single disagreement.

"Uncle Ming/Hu Ming/Master Ming, young man!"

After some time apart, Wu Xie and Fatty haven't changed much.

Although Wu Xie's eyes were always filled with melancholy and sorrow because of Wu Sansheng's disappearance and Chen Wenjin's departure, his overall mental state was still quite good.

The fat man has been letting himself go these past few months, getting himself all slick and shiny, and visibly gaining at least a size larger. As for Panzi...
After a long absence, Panzi's temples were visibly gray.

"Hey, Master Ming, I'm getting on in years. I'm about the same age as Third Master, not young anymore! It's normal to have some gray hair."

Panzi keenly noticed Hu Ming's gaze and gave a carefree smile.

Panzi is not the kind of person who weakly complains about his pain to others.

"..."

Hu Ming remained silent.

He knew that Panzi's white hair was not due to his age.

Being in his forties is the prime of life for someone like Panzi.

The white hair around his ears was undoubtedly caused by Panzi's painstaking efforts to stabilize Changsha after Wu Sansheng's disappearance.

Anyone qualified to do business with Wu Sansheng is a cunning and shrewd old fox.
Those with slightly less cunning minds would either have been invited for tea by Lei Zi long ago, or they would have been tricked to death by Wu Sansheng!
Although Panzi had followed Wu Sansheng for many years and learned some tricks, he was still a bit lacking compared to these people.

Panzi has had a tough few months.

Panzi is ruthless!
Whether it's towards others or oneself.

However, some things cannot be solved by simply fighting and being aggressive.

Panzi can barely manage to take on ten opponents, but what about a hundred or a thousand?
Given the current chaotic situation in Changsha, there's not much Panzi can do.

And Wu Xie.
Hu Ming glanced at Wu Xie, who was still somewhat bewildered, and sighed inwardly.

Once Wu Xie willingly dons the human skin mask and appears in Changsha as Wu Sansheng, can he truly retain his innocent and naive nature?
People always have to grow up.

Although the process was really painful.

Wu Xie's background, experiences, and personality destined him to be unable to remain innocent forever.

All I can say is that I hope a touch of "innocence" can remain in his heart.

"Wu Xie, Fatty, Panzi?"

The young man carefully observed the three people in front of him, frowned, and asked Hu Ming in a low voice.

"What's going on? What's wrong with this guy? Doesn't he recognize us?"

Before Hu Ming could even speak, the three people in front of him had completely erupted in chaos.

Wu Xie stared at Xiao Ge in disbelief, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be forgotten by your friends.

Not only Wu Xie, but Fatty and Panzi also felt a tightness in their chests.

The guy's slightly bewildered expression was unmistakable, and he wasn't the type to joke around.

They also learned some things about Xiao Ge's past from Hu Ming, and it wasn't hard to conclude that Xiao Ge had lost his memory once again.

Although it was expected that this day would come, when it actually arrived unexpectedly, it wasn't so easy to accept reality calmly.
