Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

"Part of the longevity experiment!?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

They've been exposed to the idea of ​​immortality far too much lately.

They were well aware that if this thing were exposed to the general public, the resulting chain reaction would be extremely terrible.

God knows how many ambitious people would go to any lengths to pursue this thing once they learn of its existence.

Never underestimate the terrifying extent of human desires.

The world progresses because of humanity's insatiable desires; similarly, who knows what will happen if those desires get out of control.

Immortality, without a doubt, is something that can ignite the deepest desires in the human heart.

Throughout history, there has been nothing that humans have been unwilling to do in order to achieve immortality.

Along the way, Wu Xie and Fatty also witnessed the ancients' pursuit of immortality.

Although all they saw were failed or imperfect attempts at immortality.

"Then, Uncle Ming, what about the rest?"

Wu Xie carefully placed the iron block inside the box and softly asked Hu Ming, who had his eyes closed as if he were asleep.

"...Your curiosity is really something else. There are plenty of places we need to go inside the metal box, enough to satisfy your curiosity."

"However, you're really too deeply involved in this matter; you've long since lost the right to extricate yourself..."

"After things are settled here, I'll take you to meet someone, and you'll understand. He might even tell you the key details of what happened."

"The secret you are seeking."

"Fatty, do you want to come along?"

Hu Ming remained lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
"No, no way! Absolutely not!"

"I don't want to know about the secrets of your Nine Gates! Secrets come at a heavy price."

"I've made up my mind. I'll spend the rest of my life here, just staying with my little Yun Cai..."

The fat man's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Don't let his simple-minded appearance fool you; he's actually quite shrewd.

It's one thing to accidentally learn a secret, but to expect him to actively seek out that secret?
Doesn't exist!
A fat man might risk his life for his friends, but he would never do something so reckless and dangerous just out of curiosity.

With that time and energy, wouldn't it be better to raid more large tombs and collect more funerary artifacts?
"Your little Yun Cai? When did Yun Cai agree to be yours? How did she become yours?"

Hu Ming and Wu Xie immediately looked at the fat man with strange eyes.

I have never seen such a shameless person!
Brother, please let that young girl go!
You're old enough to be a father.

Wu Xie felt as if a thousand curses were rushing through his mind.

So, if the fat guy really finds true love, who's going to take him to clubs to have fun with the girls?
Damn, thinking about it now, things seem pretty serious!
and.

Fatty isn't Hu Ming; the idea of ​​him having eternal youth and a long lifespan is a bit far-fetched. Fatty's really determined to have a "father-daughter" or "sibling" relationship!
Sure, that's impressive!
Wu Xie gave Fatty a thumbs-up to express his admiration.

Not everyone is like Hu Ming, and Zhang Rishan is a special case where age can be disregarded.

So, will Ah Gui eventually lose his temper and just shoot this fat bastard who's determined to harm his daughter?
"Uncle, this guy has the nerve to mess with Yin Nanfeng... By seniority, she's his niece! He's got some serious tricks up his sleeve!"

"What, it's wrong for me, Fatty, to pursue true love? You're so naive, that's a double standard!"

The fat man grunted slightly in displeasure.

However, he didn't mind, knowing it was just friends joking around.

"How can we be the same? If you can live for at least a hundred or two hundred years and stay young forever, nobody cares how you play!"

"Take Zhang Dafoye's adjutant, for example. He's over a hundred years old, and he finds a nineteen-year-old girlfriend. Who cares if he dies?"

"Anyway, Fatty, you'd better think this through. Once you've really made up your mind, we guys will definitely support you and stand by your side!"

"If Ah Gui doesn't agree to me knocking him out, you take the opportunity to carry Yun Cai and run away."

"When you die of old age... what's that saying? 'I will take care of your wife and daughters.' You can go in peace!"

Hu Ming snorted and looked at the fat man with a mocking expression.

"What the hell... is that something a human being would say?"

"Are you trying to become a traitor like Cao Cao or something?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face immediately turned green, and he felt as if his hair was turning faintly green.

Of course, the fat man knew that Hu Ming was just joking.

When that time comes, Fatty believes that Hu Ming will take good care of Yun Cai and her daughter and won't do anything outrageous. After all, they are all so familiar with each other, and they have already figured out each other's character.

That's not something Hu Ming could do.

But even saying that made me feel really uncomfortable.

Hey, seriously, this isn't even a done deal yet, and Fatty's only infatuated right now, why is he already thinking about what will happen after he's gone?
And does it have to be a mother and daughter? Can't they have a son?
For a moment, the fat man fell into self-doubt.

So, when did those two rascals, Hu Ming and Wu Xie, steer the conversation off course?
Seeing the fat man's bewildered expression, Hu Ming and Wu Xie laughed heartily.

Sure enough, heavy topics need to be shifted away from with lighter ones.

It was getting late, and it was about time to go to sleep; there was important business to attend to early tomorrow morning. After the laughter and joking around, Hu Ming stroked the box with one hand, and it magically disappeared into thin air.

It's best to keep this item safe.

"...Stop talking, we know it's still magic!"

"Uncle, you are the David Copperfield of China!"

Wu Xie and the others silently watched the illogical scene unfold before them, and then spoke in unison to Hu Ming.

The young man watched the laughter and commotion among the group silently, and before he knew it, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
