Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 684: Relieved
"Ah, it's just a small part of it. Over a long period of time, we have done a lot of research on this thing, which is the root of everything - the "Mother Stone."

"However, unexpectedly, perhaps our birth was just an accident, or the mother stone lost some of its magical power after creating us."

"Or maybe it was too late when we reacted. By the time we had complete logical thinking ability and realized that everything was caused by the mother stone, the mother stone had already lost its original mysterious power."

“Although it still has some strange powers left, it has long lost the ability to grant endless life to other creatures.”

"The First Emperor" sighed regretfully.

It seems like the time it takes to count these hundreds of units is too long!!!
Among the earliest humans, there were many lucky ones like him, hundreds of them!
But over a long period of time, most people have become mentally exhausted to the extreme and choose to commit suicide.

In this era, there are only a handful of people like them left!
For immortals like them, time is the most vicious poison in the world!
"Hu Ming, right?"

"Your birth was something we never expected. To this day, I still can't figure out how you did it all."

"More than five thousand years ago, when the human race was nurturing civilization, perhaps they discovered the traces we left behind, and some of them began to follow our footsteps and seek immortality."

"But unfortunately, they failed in the end. No matter their fantastic ideas or the mysterious power of the alien object, in short, they are a group of losers who are struggling to survive."

"And you have Zhang Qiling. You are different from them!"

"For hundreds of units, we have constantly witnessed the madness and end of our companions. You are one of the only two of your kind that we have witnessed!"

For the first time, the "First Emperor" looked at Hu Ming with a serious and curious gaze.

He looked at Hu Ming carefully, as if he wanted to dig out the secrets of Hu Ming.

"..."

Wu Xie and the others who were listening with their ears pricked up were already stunned at this time.

The words of this "First Emperor" contained too much information for them to accept at once, and their brains had almost crashed.

Some secrets that have long been hidden in the depths of time were told by the First Emperor, especially the last sentence of the "First Emperor", the same kind...

This made them extremely horrified. In the past, they only thought that Hu Ming and the young man were immortal monsters like Zhang Yueshan, and their lives would eventually come to an end.

But I never expected that, according to the First Emperor, Hu Ming and his brother were actually immortals!
In particular, the "First Emperor" used an understated tone to describe this length of time for hundreds of units...

Damn, that's millions of years!!
Considering the age of Fatty and Wu Xie, they simply cannot imagine how long this terrifying-sounding time is.

And now, behind them stands an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, and a person with the same lifespan.

Their current destination, the man they were going to pick up, turned out to be the same person!
That's millions of years!
In his excitement, Wu Xie had forgotten that he was driving.

Fortunately, this place is remote and there are almost no people on the road, so nothing unexpected happened while Wu Xie was stunned.

Gulp!
Someone swallowed his saliva, which triggered a chain reaction. Wu Xie stepped on the brakes and stared at Hu Ming, who looked as usual, together with Fatty and Miss Ghost.

"I didn't want you to know this. It's too scary after all."

“You know, even if we don’t have immortality, my brother and I are long enough to outlive you. So, don’t mind it at all, because it makes no difference to you.

Hu Ming pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly, and explained lightly. "Is that so?"

Several people said in confusion.

Their brains received too much terrible information at once and were on the verge of breakdown, making them almost unable to think normally.

just
It seems that what Hu Ming said makes sense?
Compared to their life span of less than a hundred years, whether it is two hundred years or several hundred years
Is there any difference?
The result is the same. Hu Ming and the little brother are destined to attend their funerals.

If you think about it this way, it seems a little relieved?
"Relieved... bullshit!"

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other and cursed inwardly at the same time.

"Your friend is... quite interesting. And this ghost lady doesn't seem surprised at all?"

"The First Emperor" looked at the various behaviors of the people with amusement.

"I've been dead for three years..."

"I mean, do you want to discuss how long you'll live with a dead person? It feels weird..."

Lan Ting remained silent, suppressing the weird complaints in his heart.

If I really have to compare my lifespan with Lan Ting, Lan Ting can only say...

You win. In this respect, the dead can never compare to the living.

Ever since she learned the truth that she was dead, she had noticed something was wrong with her soul.

In a short while, even this ghostly body will dissipate completely, right?
Lan Ting looked at Hu Ming's profile with a bit of melancholy.

Myths are all lies. Ghosts die faster than humans.

"In fact, I have a bold guess about you, and now is a great opportunity to experiment."

Hu Ming pinched his nose and gave a mysterious smile.

"You said the same thing last time. Can't you reveal something?"

"We have arrived at Yingshan Village. Next we have to walk. The road ahead is all covered with glaciers. Cars cannot drive in."

Hu Ming changed the subject and pointed to a small village whose outline could already be seen ahead.

"…All right."

Lan Ting sighed and stopped asking questions.

In front of them, there was a vast expanse of white snow. The familiar Changbai Mountains appeared before them under the cover of Bai Xue.

The young man's location is not far from here.
