Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 597 I'm seeing a ghost!

After a brief rest, the convoy prepared to set up camp here temporarily and get ready to explore the ruins in front of them.

Boss Ma, who thought he had everything under control, sat on a beach chair, leaning on his walking stick, facing the ruins with a fiery look in his eyes.

He chose to ignore the nagging complaints of his young model girlfriend and just stared at the relic in front of him that might hold his hope.

While the group was busy, Hu Ming was sitting alone on the city wall, looking up at the eaves of the house in the ruins.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Cu, who had no idea what a photography assistant should do, came to Hu Ming and asked casually.

"I said I was seeing a ghost, do you believe me?"

Hu Ming did not look back, his eyes were still focused on the shadow area above the eaves.

From this angle, there is nothing to see except the shadows cast by the buildings.

"Ghost? Don't scare me. What era is this? Ghosts? Do you think I'm a child? Can ghost stories scare me?"

"Besides, it's still broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?"

Li Cu subconsciously shrank his neck, and in a trance he seemed to feel a cold wind slowly blowing in from the ruins. He subconsciously took a step back and said with his neck stiff.

"Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Be careful. This relic is not simple. There are dangers everywhere. Don't stay here by accident."

Hu Ming laughed, blinked at the shadow, turned over and jumped off the wall.

"By the way, Li Cu, find a good angle and take a picture with your SLR. It's the place I just looked at... You will find something interesting later."

Before leaving, Hu Ming waved at Li Cu and reminded him.

"What? It's so mysterious. Could it be that ghosts really exist?"

"You are an archaeology professor after all, why do you talk like a shaman, so mysterious..."

Li Cu looked at Hu Ming's receding back and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Having said that, Li Cu's body was quite obedient and he took a few photos from different angles in the direction Hu Ming was looking.

"Everything is still the same as before. Where is the thing?"

After a rough look, Li Cu still didn't find anything unusual. Helplessly, under Wu Xie's call, he could only do his job as an assistant and take pictures aimlessly everywhere.

While everyone was busy with their own duties, Hu Ming wandered around leisurely, commenting on and marveling at some wall tablets that recorded ancient texts.

When the preparations were about to be completed, Li Cu suddenly turned the camera towards the direction Hu Ming had been looking at.

"Fuck!"

Under the eaves, a black human-shaped shadow suddenly appeared silently!
Li Cu's heart skipped a beat and his hands trembled, almost causing his SLR camera to fall.

I said I was seeing a ghost!
Hu Ming's previous words vaguely rang in Li Cu's ears. Under the scorching sun, Li Cu's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

But before Li Cu could scream subconsciously, the human-shaped shadow under the eaves seemed to smile, and the next moment, it disappeared without a trace!!!
Li Cu was a little bit skeptical, so he looked back and forth from every corner, but still found nothing.

"Is it a hallucination? That's impossible. Are there really such creatures as ghosts?"

In just a few minutes, Li Cu's underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

The scorching sun in the desert could not bring him any warmth, but only chilled him to the core. …

"Boss, Second Master, come and have a look! There is a new discovery!"

Just when Li Cu was at a loss, Wang Meng, who was digging a hole and building a tent, suddenly shouted loudly.

"I was just about to set up a tent here when I found these things. They looked like they had been burned by fire!"

When everyone gathered around, Wang Meng frowned and pointed at a pile of camera equipment dug out from the sand pit.

Hu Ming and Wu Xie looked at each other, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes.

Almost all the SLRs in the sand pit were smashed to pieces, with various parts piled up in a mess. Just as Wang Meng said, the outer shells of many instruments were covered with burn marks.

I opened a few SLR cameras at random and found that the SD cards inside were damaged to varying degrees.

"Do you think these cameras captured something they shouldn't have?"

Li Cu held Danfan tightly in his hand, his mind full of ghost images just now, and subconsciously expressed his guess.

"What's going on? Why does this kid look like he's frightened?"

Wu Xie looked at Li Cu in astonishment, who had a frightened look on his face, and was somewhat confused.

He hasn't even entered yet, but he's frightened by the ruins of the buildings outside? This shouldn't be the case.
"Maybe I saw a ghost in broad daylight!"

Hu Ming continued to dig a deeper pit with his engineer shovel, pointed his finger and replied casually.

"…Unlucky kid."

Wu Xie looked in the direction Hu Ming pointed. He seemed to understand something. The corner of his mouth twitched and he shook his head and sighed.

"Tsk, I seem to have found a familiar instrument..."

"The SD card is still intact. I wonder if that guy is lucky or just too cunning?"

"Wang Meng, I leave it to you. See if you can find some useful photos in there."

Hu Ming had already dug out a familiar-looking instrument from the sand pit, blew a whistle, took out an SD card from it and threw it to Wang Meng.

Hu Ming did not join the discussion. He glanced at Wu Xie, who looked a little regretful, lit a cigarette and walked over.

The owner of this camera, Hu Ming, knows Lan Ting, a famous young female writer from Taiwan.

About three years ago, she and a good friend joined a tour group to Gutongjing for writing purposes.

It is worth mentioning that Lan Ting’s good friend Daodao committed suicide not long after returning from Gutongjing, and Lan Ting…

Some time ago, Lan Ting joined a team again and went to Gutongjing, and then committed suicide not long after returning.

Hu Ming got to know Lan Ting through Wu Xie. Three years ago, at a tea party, Wu Xie, who used the alias Guan Gen, met Lan Ting.

At that time, Hu Ming happened to be in Hangzhou as well. For various reasons, Wu Xie introduced Lan Ting, who was troubled by his friend's abnormal condition and unexplained suicide, to Hu Ming.

Unfortunately, Hu Ming went to the United States shortly afterwards, and for various reasons, the two did not develop a relationship beyond friendship.

just
"There's still a chance to meet again!"

Hu Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and flicked away the half-smoked cigarette.
