Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 733 Eaten raw?

Boom!
Suddenly there was a thunder outside the window, and thunder and raindrops as big as beans came suddenly.

In fact, it is not worth being surprised. This place has a special terrain and it is the rainy season now. This kind of sudden thunderstorm is very common.

But this thunder was unusual.

The moment the house was illuminated by lightning, rumbling thunder exploded the next moment, and in the blazing white light, the leather figurine moved.

A few sharp-eyed people saw clearly that the leather figurine's tranquil expression changed and became ferocious.

This is not just everyone's illusion, it is a fact.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. There is a saying that goes, experienced drivers become more timid as they drive more.

Although Wu Erbai is half black and half white, and except for the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea, he has never been to another underground palace in his life. But to be on the safe side, all the people he brought with him were desperate criminals.

All of them are top players in Hangzhou and even in the nearby Jiumen betting market.

People like this have seen a lot of weird and strange things in their daily lives, but they can still survive to this age. Instead of being numb to these incomprehensible things, they are even more frightened.

Stay in awe and stay in fear, this is the only way to survive in this line of work.

But there was something wrong with Wu Xie's condition... He had experienced too many things, and to a greater or lesser extent, he had become a little complacent.

Coupled with the fact that he knew he would not live long, his mentality underwent some subtle changes and he lost the most basic respect for life.

Wu Erbai is very good at judging people. This is one of the reasons why he doesn't want Wu Xie to continue working in this business. This kind of mentality can easily kill himself and the people around him.

The moment the lightning illuminated the room, the young man and Hu Ming reacted immediately. They turned into a black shadow, and even gave people the illusion that they had caught up with the lightning at a short distance.

snort~
A blinding cold light flashed, and two different black knives cut off the two forearms of the leather figurine.

Snapped!
The forearm that fell to the ground was twisting wildly like a living thing that had been awakened.

Without any verbal communication, Hu Ming and the young man had already tacitly nailed the "living arm" to the ground with the black knife in their hands.

After doing all this, Hu Ming and the young man frowned and looked at the blind man who had taken off his sunglasses and was rubbing his eyes.

Hei Xia Zi is a man who is capable of competing with this young man. His reaction definitely shouldn't be so slow.

"Ugh…"

Wu Erbai sighed, patted the blind man's shoulder, stepped forward and picked up the arm that had stopped struggling.

"Hey, why are you looking at me? I'm fine. I've lived for more than a century, and I see many things more clearly than you do."

"Do you want Heiye to give you some inspirational quotes right here and now?"

With a chic smile, Hei Xiazi put on sunglasses, and his vision became clearer than ever before. Even though they were right in front of him, in the blind man's eyes, Hu Ming and the young man were still covered with a layer of gray and haziness.

"You've offended too many people in your life. If you lose your eyes, you won't live for more than a month, unless you are willing to hide quietly for the rest of your life... You and I both know that this is impossible."

"I know that after things here are over, I'll go with you, and it will probably be of some use."

Hu Ming was silent. The blind man's eyes had a rare eye disease. From the day of diagnosis, the blind man knew that he was destined to face the crisis of real blindness in this life.

Calculating the time, it's almost this time.
"Damn it, when did the people around me quietly become a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people? Once again?!"

Hu Ming swore in a rare display of annoyance.

The mute girl pulled Hu Ming's shoulder helplessly. She didn't understand why Hu Ming and his people suddenly changed their mood, but she realized that she seemed... very far away from Hu Ming's world.

“…Let’s go together.”

The young man looked expressionlessly at the blind man who seemed not to care about him, and said softly.

Everyone knew what the young man meant, which was to go together to the place that Jiangnan mentioned and look for an opportunity to help the blind man.

"It's a human hand shell. It's a specialty of the underground palace of the King of the South China Sea. Due to the limitations of the production technology at the time, it was difficult to preserve the skin of the hands of these human skin figurines perfectly, so this special shellfish that looks very much like a human hand was used instead..."

Wu Erbai picked up the human hand shell, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he adjusted his mood in an instant and lied with his eyes open.

"The human hand shell can indeed move the leather figurines, but this one is different. It is different. Her expression will change, and she even seems to understand human language. Just now, I seemed to see something from her skin..."

"And, uncle, don't change the subject. I just want to know, is the blind man really going blind?"

Wu Xie stared blankly at the blind man who was still optimistic and irresponsible, and a huge sadness came over him.

Yes, it has been so long, so long that Wu Xie almost forgot that humans can grow old, get sick, and die!
"That's about right... I didn't want to tell you at first. You're a good person, but you like to worry about others too much, and never care about yourself."

"But it doesn't matter. Since Hu Ming said so, there is a good chance that I can still watch the sunset. He has never been a guy who likes to lie to comfort others."

The blind man shrugged indifferently. As for fate, one cannot say that one completely believes in it, but some things are really planned from the moment a person is born and cannot be changed.

It was like Wu Xie’s passive entry into the game back then, like the eyes of a blind man.

It's just a matter of time.

The blind man has his own philosophy of life. His long life has taught him how to face everything in life with optimism and to choose what to carry with him as he continues to live alone.

Even if Hu Ming hadn't brought him hope, one day in the future, he would still appreciate the last ray of light with a smile, and wait for his old enemies to come knocking on his door with a smile.

The blind man is an old widower who has seen through everything in life, has become open-minded and "enlightened".

No matter what fate imposes on him, he can face it calmly.

"How could I not care? You are my master... cough. cough. cough!! Puff!!"

Wu Xie laughed miserably, and suddenly, his face turned pale. He covered his chest and coughed wildly, and a mouthful of blood mixed with red and black blood clots gushed out of his mouth and nose.

As luck would have it, the blood sprayed onto the hideous face of the human-skin figurine that had lost both arms.

The leather figurine, awakened by the thunder, moved again after a brief silence.

The blood on his face was instantly absorbed, and then it began to swell and wriggle!
The face of the leather figurine changed shape, and a long, twisted mark appeared. Suddenly, the leather figurine moved, sticking closely to Wu Xie who was close at hand, and then
Then the leather figurine, which had expanded to its limit, swallowed up Wu Xie, who was coughing up blood!!!
