Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 461 Secret!

About half an hour later, Hu Ming and the other three came out of Panma's house.

Faced with such a huge incriminating evidence and the threat of the "wronged souls" who died at his hands twenty-eight years ago, Pan Ma had little choice but to agree to Hu Ming and the others' demands.

Everyone agreed to take a good rest today and set off early tomorrow morning to head deep into Yangjiao Mountain, to the area that the archaeological team visited years ago.

Hu Ming was not worried that Pan Ma would escape.

Before leaving, Hu Ming had already secretly used his Golden Eyes ability to leave several Pure Vision Agamas around Panma's residence.

However, even after half an hour, Wu Xie and Fatty still had deep shock and bewilderment on their faces.

The secret Hu Ming just revealed is absolutely terrifying!
Just look at the market reaction; what Hu Ming said is true!
Then the problem is coming.

If the archaeological team, which was built around the younger generation of the Nine Gates, has been completely wiped out by Pan Ma.

So, who were the people who later appeared in the underwater tombs in the Xisha Islands?
Who are Chen Wenjin from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, Huo Ling from the sanatorium, and the young man who's always with everyone else?
Could it be, as Hu Ming described, and as Pan Ma admitted, that these three familiar figures are truly vengeful spirits who have crawled out of the abyss of death?
It was the middle of the day, and the scorching sun was shining down on him, but Wu Xie felt no warmth at all; instead, his heart was filled with coldness.

Wu Xie's mind was about to explode; his thoughts were in turmoil, and countless chaotic ideas arose in a short period of time.

Wu Xie and Fatty even subconsciously looked at Xiao Ge to make sure he didn't cast a shadow in the sunlight.
Uncle Ming

Subconsciously, Wu Xie looked at Hu Ming.

"We'll talk about these things when we get back."

The fat man grabbed Wu Xie, ignoring Yun Cai, and lit a cigarette for himself. At this moment, Wu Xie wasn't the only one who was most confused.

The young man was the one who was full of confusion.

Anyone would find it hard to remain calm upon hearing the fact that they were actually "dead," and even the young man was somewhat turbulent at this moment.

In particular, in the young man's opinion, although Pan Ma was exceptionally skilled, taking him down was...
There's still at least a gap of ten Wu Xies, okay?

Back at A-Gui's house, the three of them didn't even bother with lunch and hurriedly pulled Hu Ming back into the house.

After locking the door, the three of them stared intently at Hu Ming.

Despite having been through so much together, Hu Ming remains a mysterious figure in the minds of the three, someone who knows many secrets hidden deep within.

For example, right now, they are absolutely certain that there are deeper secrets hidden behind the archaeological team from back then, and Hu Ming knows them all perfectly well.

"All right.."

Seeing the three people with their insatiable curiosity, Hu Ming pinched his nose.

“Everything I told Panma was the truth, there was not a single lie.”

"The archaeological team that came here back then, which was mainly composed of the younger generation of the Nine Gates, has indeed been completely killed by Pan Ma."

Hu Ming kept them in suspense for a while, and under the three men's annoyed gazes, he leisurely took out a cigarette, then shut his mouth and just smiled at them.

"Damn it!" Wu Xie and Fatty's lips twitched simultaneously. They took a deep breath, wanting to punch someone.

They knew that Hu Ming was signaling them to light his cigarette!
"Snapped!"

However, before the two could make a move, the young man had already taken out a lighter from the fat man's pocket and lit a cigarette for Hu Ming.

This is service from the delivery guy! Tell me, besides Hu Ming right now, who else in this world gets this kind of treatment!?
For a moment, Hu Ming felt that his life was perfect.

"call"

"Okay, stop staring at me like that, I'll tell you, alright?"

Hu Ming exhaled a puff of smoke with satisfaction, looking amusedly at the three people who looked like hungry baby birds.

“Xiao Ge, Wen Jin, and Huo Ling are special cases; they didn’t die here, but the others are definitely dead.”

"Speaking of this, we have to mention Master Xie back then. Master Xie was a typical person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals."

"In order to infiltrate his own people into 'him,' Master Xie had already planned to replace the entire archaeological team here with his own men... disguised as members of the younger generation of the Nine Gates using human skin masks."

"Of course, for the sake of secrecy, all the original young members of the Nine Gates had to die!"

"In fact, Pan Ma's incident was an accident. Even if he hadn't done it, it wouldn't have been long before Master Jie Jiu would have taken action to kill someone."

Hu Ming quietly recounted the secret that had occurred on this land years ago.

"Wait, Uncle Ming, didn't you say that this archaeological team was formed by Zhang Dafoye and is a team that collaborates with 'him'?"

"I remember my grandfather telling me when I was little that Master Xie Jiu and Master Zhang Dafo have always had a good relationship."

Why would Master Xie do such a thing?

Wu Xie's brows furrowed deeply.

As far as he knew, the Nine Gates were a united whole, sharing common interests and advancing and retreating together. How could the Nine Gates possibly split apart?
"Because of desire, because of human nature!"

"In the 1960s, Zhang Dafoye was still in charge, aiming to gain a legitimate identity in the newly established China and avoid being purged because of his exposed identity as a tomb raider."

"At the same time, for the secrets of the Zhang family and the secrets of immortality, under Xiao Ge's leadership, the members of the Nine Gates worked together to carry out 'the world's largest tomb raiding operation'."

"During that event, many accidents occurred, and the Nine Gates lost many skilled fighters."

"It was during that event that Zhang Dafoye's prestige suffered a huge blow, and the Nine Gates split into two factions."

"One faction still rallied around Master Zhang and obeyed his orders."

"The other faction... led by Brother Xiao, with Master Xie Jiu, Zhang Dafoye's former friend, as their strategist, has officially launched an operation to oppose 'him' for the sake of the Nine Gates' future!"
