Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 732 Wu Xie: It’s over. My reputation…

The fat man didn't say the last two words, but Hu Ming and the young man knew exactly what he meant.

This is an inescapable reality.

"Perhaps... it's time to plan early. Loneliness, numbness, and a heart without a place to rely on can really completely destroy a person's personality."

After a long silence, Hu Ming looked up to the sky and murmured.

Today's conversation is destined to make no one happy.

Even the fat guy with a big heart rarely smiled in the second half of the day.

Until late at night.

Because he was worried, Wu Xie took medicine early and went to sleep.

He slept until about three in the morning, when Wu Xie woke up dazedly. However, when he opened his eyes...

“ahahaha!!! What the hell!!! Damn it, why the hell!!!”

The heart-wrenching screams almost spread throughout the entire village.

Almost instantly, everyone was awakened from their dreams by the screams. They stared blankly, looking for the direction where the screams came from.

"That's Wu Xie's voice. What is he doing?"

Hu Ming, Brother, Fatty and Blind Man gathered in the yard in their pajamas and looked towards Wu Xie's room with a confused look on their faces.

"Who knew Wu Xie was so frightened? It's really rare. Just go and see for yourself."

"It's late at night, you can't really see a ghost, right?"

Hu Ming rubbed his messy hair, looked at the three people, and walked decisively towards Wu Xie's room.

As soon as they entered the door, Hu Ming and others widened their eyes.

"...Awesome, Wu Xie, I will never submit to anyone else in my life except you!"

"I was just joking before, but you're really serious about it? Do you have to be so harsh?"

After a brief silence, the blind man gave a thumbs up to Wu Xie, who was curled up in the quilt.

Beside Wu Xie, a lifelike but slightly dark-skinned leather figurine of a beautiful lady was lying there quietly. From their point of view, the leather figurine lady was facing Wu Xie sideways, seemingly gazing at him affectionately.

"Other people's peach blossoms are models, flight attendants, and nurses, but our naive peach blossom luck is always the forbidden woman, the rice dumpling, and the beautiful woman figurine... Fatty really admires you!"

The fat man took a deep breath and felt ashamed of himself. He realized that the disciple is worse than his master.

"Sorry to bother you, goodbye!"

Hu Ming was more direct. He gave Wu Xie an apologetic smile, pulled the others out of the room, and was about to close the door.

"Ah! No, Uncle Ming, no!!"

Wu Xie was about to cry. He knew that these bastards simply wanted to laugh at him, but to be honest, even though he had experienced too many things and seen too many weird things, he was still scared by this scene.

In the middle of the night, when you drowsily open your eyes, you see a figurine made of skin appearing in your bed, staring at you.
Damn it, anyone would be scared to death!
Wu Xie could only be thankful that he didn't drink too much water before going to bed, otherwise he would have had diabetes by now, which would have been too embarrassing.

Even though it had already jumped once in the underground palace in front of the young man and the fat man, and even though they had some eye problems at that time and couldn't see, they could still smell it.

……

"Xiao Xie, I know you are under a lot of pressure, and my actions also make you very unhappy. You don't have a girlfriend to vent your feelings, and you have been led astray by that bastard Fatty. You go for foot massage every day. Second uncle is also a single man, so it's not that I can't understand."

"But, how could you do this? This thing isn't even a person, it's empty inside, just a layer of skin propped up by metal. Even if you're hungry and thirsty, you wouldn't go to this extent, right? It's better to spend some money to buy a doll than this!"

Wu Erbai looked at Wu Xie with a complicated expression, feeling very disappointed with him.

But Wu Xie knew his second uncle too well! He clearly saw an almost undetectable smile in the depths of Wu Erbai's eyes.

“Bullshit!!!”

"Uncle, you know more than me. You clearly know that Qi Yu, the dead head, has set up many Feng Shui schemes in the underground palace of the King of the South Sea, the purpose of which I don't know. This thing was clearly intentionally brought up by me. It must have been tampered with, right?
"I don't believe that this thing has no mysteries or secrets... But you can't joke like this. In the middle of the night, do you want to scare me, the only child of our Wu family, to death?"

Wu Xie took a sip of water with an unsightly look on his face to calm himself down. Inspired by the painful lessons he learned in his childhood, he suppressed the urge to curse Wu Erbai as a bastard.

Wu Xie still remembers it clearly. When he was young and ignorant, he accidentally creased a book that Wu Erbai liked, and was beaten up by Wu Erbai.

Wu Xie truly respects and fears his second uncle.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. I just went down there twice before you, cleaned out the underground palace of the King of the South Sea, found some clues that you don't know about, and eliminated some dangers..."

"Since you like this human-skin figurine so much that you even want to sleep with it...you can dispose of it yourself. I won't take it away from you."

Wu Erbai pretended to be dumb.

"?"

Wu Xie: When I type a question mark, it’s not me who has a problem, it’s you who has a problem!
"hehe!"

Wu Xie looked with a little fear at the human-skin figurine that had been following him all the way in the underground palace in some strange way, and smiled at Wu Erbai expressionlessly.

If Wu Erbai didn't know the secret of this thing, he, Wu Xie, would immediately perform a handstand pull!
As for when he came out of the underground palace, Wu Erbai comforted him and said that he would write a detailed paper document about the progress of the matter and send it to him...

Wu Xie said that it was just for listening, but if you really believed it, you would be an idiot.

Although there are still many things Wu Xie doesn't know yet, there is one thing: over the past decade, his rich experience of being plotted against has given Wu Xie an almost predictive intuition...

This is not over yet!
Wu Erbai and Wu Sanxing have made plans for him to join in the near future!
Thinking about it, Wu Xie felt a little sad and wanted to cry. He would rather not have this kind of intuition!
What made Wu Xie even more sad was that he seemed to have gotten used to it.

"..."

The mute girl who rushed over after hearing the news rubbed her sleepy eyes. She didn't quite understand their conversation just now, but she understood one thing.

Wu Xie slept all night holding this figurine that seemed to be made of human skin.

Subconsciously, she leaned towards Hu Ming, and the mute girl looked at him with a slightly contemptuous look, as if she was looking at a pervert.

"..."

Wu Xie was really about to cry.

The dignified third master of the Wu family has lost his reputation tonight.

The embarrassing howls, coupled with the indescribable beauty of the human skin figurine. Damn, doesn't Wu Xie have any dignity?
