Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 686 The One Who Scares Me
His footsteps faltered, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on the face of "His Majesty the First Emperor". Then,

"Have I underestimated you, Hu Ming? Your observation skills seem to be beyond the norm. Over countless years, I have put on countless different masks."

"So far, apart from my former companions and the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, you are the only one who has recognized my true appearance."

"I am indeed not that person. That person even sent a large army to capture me, but I escaped. However, many of my companions were captured. I still don't know whether they are dead or alive!"

"Ying Zheng is a terrible human being..."

The "First Emperor" recalled and murmured, the breath of "humanity" quickly disappeared from the body of this "Majesty the First Emperor".

A cold, indifferent, ruthless, absolutely rational, and other inhuman auras slowly rose.

It's like a cold machine!
At this moment, he stood in front of several people and tore off his disguise, revealing the truth hidden in the deepest part...

this.
This is undoubtedly the posture of the legendary [God]!
Lan Ting met the cold and ruthless eyes of the "First Emperor" and shuddered subconsciously.

"As you can see, tens of millions of years is too long, long enough to erase all my emotions as a human being."

"I don't know how many years ago, we have quietly become like this, and all our emotions and feelings have disappeared."

"It wasn't until Ying Zheng showed up that we felt fear!"

"Even if Ying Zheng is buried for a hundred years, we still dare not appear in the world, and that's why we are even more careful..."

"Until we spend hundreds of years grinding our emotions away..."

"In order to perfectly integrate into the human race, we have to put on a layer of disguise."

"Pretend that I still have feelings, mood swings, etc., and I disguise myself as a... a human being, a human being that I once had fearful emotions."

"The First Emperor" spoke of his current condition as if nothing had happened, without any reservations.

Yes, a person like him has lived for countless years, and he no longer cares about many things.…

No, to be precise, in his current state, as long as Ying Zheng does not come out, I am afraid that nothing in the world can touch his cold heart that is like that of a god.

Having no desires and no demands is probably his current state.

“It’s really impressive.”

Hu Ming stared at this fake Emperor Qin Shi Huang in a daze, and suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that this guy was right, and his current state could not be called human.

Although the body structure may be the same as that of humans, but in terms of emotions and psychology, can such a being really be called a human being?
As for what he said about his origins, just listen to it. Who knows what the situation was like in ancient times...

"You are one of those immortals that the adults have discovered, from an era even more ancient than the ancient times, who left some traces in history!?"

After all, Hu Ming's sigh, the soldiers' dim eyes suddenly burst into light!
He picked out the key points from the conversation between the two and roughly guessed the identity of the man with a different temperament!
Thousands of years ago, these immortal and lingering existences were, after all, created by following the few traces left by their ancestors in an even more unknown ancient era.

All signs indicate that in that era when exploration was impossible, there was a group of people who were high up in the sky, with endless lifespans, watching the reproduction and iteration of creatures in the world with a smile. It was precisely because of this that they aroused their ambition to find immortality! As a result, they embarked on a road with no end in sight.

However, the man wearing the vest of His Majesty the First Emperor ignored him completely.

To him, these people were just some small guys, some losers who followed in their footsteps. Perhaps, he had some interest in the core position, but the Yin soldiers...

Conversation also requires equal status!
Among all the people present, after regaining their original nature, the only one who could be recognized by "His Majesty the First Emperor" was Hu Ming, who was also an immortal.

Strictly speaking, people like them have transcended the human race and become a new type of human with a higher level of evolution, a new species!
"..."

Hu Ming gently stroked the blade, his expression changing constantly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"How many people like you are still alive today that you know of?"

While continuing to walk forward in silence, Hu Ming suddenly spoke.

People like "Zhao Zheng", not to mention their martial arts strength and lifespan, this kind of extreme rationality... makes people inevitably feel a little fearful.

For this kind of existence, as long as they set a goal, they will ignore ethics and morals, and ignore the laws and rules of the game in the world. As long as they want, they will move towards this goal at all costs.

This kind of person is the most terrifying!
Because there are simply not many people or ways in this world to stop them. It is conceivable that once conflicts or grudges arise with such people, the consequences will undoubtedly be quite terrible.

The worst thing is that they have almost infinite life and enough patience to spend endless time plotting secretly.…

"Not many. There is only one person who has been in contact recently. I don't know much about the others. Maybe they committed suicide because they couldn't bear the torture, or they fell into an eternal sleep somewhere."

"Recently? What specific time do you mean recently?"

"It happened about six or seven hundred years ago..."

"Zhao Zheng" said a terrible number expressionlessly.

Six or seven hundred years, recently?
Damn, Hu Ming often feels that he is out of tune with his concept of time because he does not live long enough.

"I shouldn't have asked you, it's my fault..."

Hu Ming held his forehead and sighed.

But the good news is that according to "Zhao Zheng", there should be other active immortals besides them, but their number is not large.

While the few of them were talking, Lan Ting followed Hu Ming silently, her beautiful eyes full of doubt about life.

Perhaps, before this, she felt that her current state was already the most magical existence in the world.

And now...

Really good at playing!
Lan Ting's gaze lingered on Hu Ming and "Zhao Zheng", then he looked at the almost magical environment around him and subconsciously admired it inwardly.

If we put all of this together as a story and write it down, it will definitely be a very exciting story, right?
Lan Ting's woman's intuition told her that if she could dig out the past of Hu Ming and others and write a book, she would become a legend!
Combining some of Hu Ming's past, Lan Ting has already thought of a name for the book, which is called... The Story of a Thief!
