Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 344 Dumb
Lu Su and Zhuan Donglai left Yashan Palace, and they went their separate ways. As for why Zhuan Donglai has not heard from Zhuan Donglai for more than ten years, that is unknown.Besides, when Lu Su left that place, he was naturally annoyed at the thought of being placed in the tomb by Lord Bai before, but Lord Bai also got nothing in the end like himself, so there is no need to trouble him again at this time. What's more, Lu Su at that time was not strong enough to fight against Lord Bai.

So after talking for so long, who is Bai Ye that my grandfather asked me to look for before he died?What does this surname Bai have to do with our Chen family's affairs?
Since Lu Su worked with this Lord Bai back then, he must have known the identity of Lord Bai.

But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. If those people knew the identity of Lord Bai, why did Lord Bai still manipulate his face?This is obviously because he doesn't want others to know his identity.

However, if Lord Bai was a person whose real identity was unknown to everyone, how could those people at that time, my grandfather and Lu Su, fight with Lord Bai?

This is strange.

I raised this question, but Lu Su's answer was beyond my expectation. He said: "I know Bai Ye, but no one has seen his real face. From the very beginning, his face has been covered. With a fake face, of course, this face often changes, so there is a nickname called 'thousand changes'.

As soon as he said Qianbian, I immediately understood, because this Qianbian is a very famous number one person, but his surname is not Bai, and no one knows his real name and appearance. The later Master Bai should be his pseudonym .

The identity of this person is very mysterious, and there is no gang outside, usually alone, but there is a huge force behind him, someone analyzed that this Qianbian is probably a spy.

What is a spy?

Since the original Tufuzi could transform himself into an archaeological consultant, why couldn't the members of the archaeological team transform themselves into the tomb robbery ring to collect information?Historically, tomb thieves, relying on their own skills, always found the ancient tomb first and destroyed the ancient tomb. When the archaeological team really started excavating, the ancient tomb was often full of holes.

For example, the archaeological team's purpose is not to dig out tombs. They mainly conduct research and protective excavations. They will not open tombs as soon as they see them, like tomb robbers.For example, the current Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, why not excavate it?Because the imperial mausoleum is too large, the existing technology cannot fully protect the cultural relics and structures inside, so it was not excavated.

On another level, for example, the archaeological team and the tomb robbers are eyeing a tomb at the same time, but if the archaeological team wants to excavate, they must write documents, wait for the approval of the superiors, and have to mobilize funds. After reviewing layer by layer, various reports are implemented. , almost three to five months, or even a year and a half.The tomb robbers have very high mobility. They don't need anyone's approval. Prepare guys, invite three or five partners, and take advantage of the darkness of the moon to finish the job in one night.

Therefore, it's not that the archaeological team is useless, it's that there are too many procedures, making them always one step behind the tomb robbers.At this point, countless seniors of the archaeological team were pissed off.So, naturally, some spies came into being. As long as they entered this circle, they would be able to receive a lot of rumors, such as where there were new local products.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule of not asking the source of things. Whoever owns the things is the owner, and the source cannot be traced, otherwise it will break the rules. In modern times, this rule is even more strictly enforced.Because Master Bai is mysterious and has a very powerful force behind him, many people secretly speculated that he might be a spy.

But this is just a speculation after all, and there are many groundless speculations, so I won't list them here.It was also a surprise to Lu Su that Master Bai found Lu Su, but he and Lu Su had a secret conversation just like us now, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than attracting Lu Su to join the gang.

You know, Lu Su had just debuted at that time, although he was capable, he hadn't become famous yet, Master Bai would find him, which not only showed that Master Bai had a lot of information, but also had a good sense of people.What was discussed that night, Lu Su also mentioned in one sentence, this part is his personal matter, I have no right to ask, and it has nothing to do with the issue I care about the most.

In the final analysis, Bai Ye's identity is a mystery, and the reason why he was able to gather such a group of people is because he has an extremely wide news network and is familiar with everyone's weaknesses, so he puts bait based on these weaknesses. action.

I have to say that Master Bai was well prepared. The tomb of the Earth Ghost King was still sealed at that time, and the level of danger was not the same as ours. If Master Bai hadn't gathered such a group of experts in advance, I am afraid they would not be able to reach the main tomb at all. , the final winner should be Master Bai, but as Lu Su said, they all went for the lamp, but in the end, only my grandfather really used the lamp.

The white characters in the unfinished part of the grandfather's dying words probably refer to the thousand-changing 'Bai Ye'.Grandpa will not let me do meaningless things, so he must have a purpose for asking me to go to Master Bai.

Could it be that he and Bai Ye had some agreement?
But now, Master Bai seems to have disappeared for a long time.

After all, it happened 14 years ago. The identity and age of this Lord Bai are a mystery. Finding him is not easy?
Tofu asked Lu Su aloud, "Can you contact that white master?" Lu Su shook his head slightly, and said softly, "It disappeared. After coming out of Yashan Palace, he and Zhuan Donglai all disappeared. , I suspect it has something to do with their conversation."

Tofu was clever enough at the moment, and immediately reacted, saying, "That's the conversation with me? But didn't Zhuan Donglai tell you all the content of the conversation? There is nothing wrong." Immediately afterwards, Tofu slapped his forehead , Looking back, he said: "I see, Zhuan Donglai must have hidden something, right? He didn't fully tell you the whole content of the conversation... It was these content that made him and that Bai Ye disappear .”

Lu Su patted Tofu on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I think the same way, so we are heroes who see the same thing."

Tofu pretended to be modest and said: "Where is that, I just said that casually." In fact, when he said this, he almost wrote on his face: I am awesome.Seeing that these two people tended to drag the topic away, I quickly corrected the topic and said, "Then aside from Master Bai, what's the matter with the map?" What is the map mentioned in the last sentence? I once thought it was the map that Grandpa hid at the bottom of Queen Baoxiang's big bowl, so I conducted a very detailed research on that map, but still found nothing.

Since Lu Su mentioned the map before, he must know something. It probably has nothing to do with the map in my hand, because Grandpa never told anyone about the existence of this map.

Then, what kind of map did the map mentioned by grandfather and Lu Su refer to?
Lu Su said that the purpose of his visit this time was to find the 'key'. This man is very ambitious, so he doesn't want to exchange it, just the key.The subtext of this sentence is: He is no longer interested in the seven lamps. What he wants to know is the origin of the seven lamps. The lamps are made by people. Knowing their origin means mastering the key to making keys. method.

In the end, all these mysteries were condensed into three words: map... Master Bai... the key?
What does the map refer to?
What secrets are there between Master Bai and Grandpa?
What does the key that Lu Su is looking for have anything to do with these two?
After Tofu saw my question, Lu Su didn't answer for a while, and was more anxious than me for a while, scratching his ears and cheeks, and said, "Don't be silent, talk quickly, what map? It can't be a treasure map, right?" Lu Su looked He glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "I never knew what a map was, but since Mr. Chen said that before he died, there must be a reason for it. I thought about it, this so-called map should be related to Master Bai."

I calmed down and said, "In other words, if you want to know all this, you must find Master Bai."

Tofu cursed and said: "That thing has disappeared for more than ten years, and it is probably dead. Where can I find it? I said Lu Su, you have spared such a big circle and said so much. But I didn't say a word about the topic, why are you looking for our brothers? Even if you want to find the key, it has nothing to do with us. "

Lu Su smiled slightly and said, "It's related, it's important." Immediately afterwards, he took out something from his pocket and said, "Look."

What he took out were photos, and the photos showed a person.

Tofu stared at that person, looked at me in surprise, and said, "It's your father."

I shook my head, stared at the person above who was exactly the same as the statement, and said, "No, it's not him, it's the mute." The photo shows a sea, and the mute is standing at the bow of the boat, without a mask and without looking at camera, but looking forward, not knowing what to look at.

This is a color photo, which should be recent.

I was a little dazed, thinking: Lu Su and the mute probably don't know each other, but why does he have a picture of the mute?What does this have to do with being dumb?Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.Tofu and I looked at each other, both confused.
