Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 129 The Unacceptable Truth

At this time, they lit a small bonfire. Although there was a danger of snakes being attracted by the temperature of the fire, it was too humid and very cold here, and it was impossible to sit down and rest without lighting a fire.

After resting for a while, Wu Xie, who had accumulated countless questions in his heart, couldn't help but want to ask this enigmatic woman in front of him. Chen Wenjin smiled and asked him to ask whatever he wanted.

Wu Xie sorted out some questions in his head, and said, "Then let's ask according to the time. First of all, the first question I want to ask is about the Xisha seabed. What happened to you missing in the ancient tomb?"

Chen Wenjin was silent for a while, then looked at Wu Xie, sighed suddenly, and said, "You actually want to know about this, it seems that you know a lot about it, it's hard to explain it clearly. Tell me , how did your third uncle tell you?"

Wu Xie told her everything that Uncle San told him about his reconciliation with Lianhuan, and then said: "Uncle San said that he didn't enter the institution with you, so he doesn't know what happened after that. After the ancient tomb disappeared, he has been looking for you for more than twenty years."

After Chen Wenjin finished speaking, he smiled bitterly, paused, and then said: "I wanted to tell you this question at the end, because there is a very important premise in it that you must understand. As for this premise, the truth of this fact, you may not know it." Will believe it, maybe not accept it.”

"Tell me, even if you tell me that Uncle San is actually a mutant zongzi who can talk and think, I will believe it! I can believe everything I have experienced these days." Wu Xie said.

Chen Wenjin still looked worried, and then looked at the younger brother, as if he wanted to communicate with him, but the younger brother didn't respond, and sat quietly.

Chen Wenjin shrugged, then took out a notebook from his backpack, opened it, and took out an old yellowed photo, which he recognized immediately. It was a group photo of the Xisha archaeological team 20 years ago.

"I've seen this photo before." Wu Xie said.

Mengli leaned over to observe the photo carefully. There were three women in the photo. She recognized Chen Wenjin, and they hadn't changed at all. As for one person, she looked a bit like Xiuxiu between her eyebrows. She guessed that she should be Huo Ling.There is another girl, who should be the one who became a forbidden woman.

"Actually, all the secrets are in this photo. If I tell you directly, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, so let me tell you first, what is hidden in this photo." Chen Wenjin pointed to the photo, "You take the photo Show me the names and locations of people who can be read on the Internet.”

Wu Xie looked at it and said, "I only know a few people who are more related to this matter." He first saw the Poker Bottle that attracted his attention the most, and said, "This is my little brother." Chen Wenjin clicked Nodded, and then pointed to a girl on the side, "This is you." Chen Wenjin nodded again, "Then, this is the third uncle." Wu Xie pointed at the third uncle and said, but Chen Wenjin no longer nodded, but straightened Looking at Wu Xie intently.

Wu Xie didn't understand what she meant, so Chen Wenjin took the photo back and asked, "Why do you think this person is your third uncle?"

Hearing this, Mengli understood what she meant. The third uncle and Xie Lianhuan looked exactly the same. They couldn't be distinguished from the outside, and they were so smart. Even if they exchanged identities, they couldn't even tell the difference between their parents. .

"This... this is the third uncle. I've seen black and white photos of him before, and it's very similar to this." Wu Xie felt that he was right in his judgment.

Chen Wenjin smiled and said, "In this world, photos are not the only things that are similar. Two people who are related by blood may also be similar."

Her words hit the nail on the head, and Wu Xie finally understood what she wanted to express, "You mean, this person is not my third uncle? Then who is he?" Countless fragments of text flashed through Wu Xie's mind, and he suddenly stopped. Got up, couldn't control my emotions and shouted: "Impossible!..." The little brother immediately held him down, "Could it be that this person is... Xie Lianhuan?"

Chen Wenjin nodded lightly, Wu Xie sat down dejectedly, his heart was already in a mess.

"Your third uncle was indeed with us at the time, but he was not in the photo, but outside the photo." Chen Wenjin said, and they immediately understood that besides the person in the photo, there was also a person who took the photo, and This person happened to be Third Uncle.

"Let me tell you, in fact, at that time, it was not Jie Lianhuan who came to ask me for my relationship, but your third uncle Wu Sanxing. What your current third uncle told you is actually telling you everything wrong. This is the reason why your third uncle refuses to tell you the truth. You must wonder why no one found out, it is because your third uncle has a perverse personality, lived alone in his teens, and almost had few family members Let's meet. So as long as you pretend a little and know your third uncle's character, you can get away with it."

If the third uncle told everything the other way around, then Xie Lianhuan knew Wu Sansheng's plan and threatened him to take him to the tomb. Then in the ancient tomb, it was Xie Lianhuan who took the diving equipment and returned to the shore. Uncle... he didn't dare to think any more, Wu Xie didn't know whether it was sadness or anger at Xie Lianhuan's concealment and the killing of his third uncle.

"Then why did Xie Lianhuan pretend to be my third uncle?" Wu Xie asked.

"This is an extremely complicated situation, and maybe it was also caused by the circumstances at the time. After he came back from the Xisha submarine tomb, we all disappeared, but he appeared in the unit well, so the problem is quite serious. Others will check him , and his identity is too involved, which may cause huge trouble. Wu Sansheng joined the team temporarily at that time, and his name was not in the file, so he may have chosen this method after weighing the pros and cons. Moreover, the power of the Wu family at that time It is very big, if they know that they have killed their younger brother, the consequences can be imagined, it will be a bloodbath."

Wu Xie seems to have thought of something again, I don’t know if he subconsciously doesn’t want to believe that the third uncle he respected for so many years was actually pretended by someone else, "No, no, it doesn’t make sense, we saw it in the tomb under the sea in Xisha A line of blood, it says 'Wu Sansheng harmed me', how to explain this?"

"If it is to be reasonable, the order of the words should be read in reverse: 'Jie Lianhuan caused me to die in Wu Sansheng'." Mengli remembered the order of those lines, and could read them either forward or backward.

Wu Xie suddenly realized, feeling that the only remaining hope in his heart was shattered.

Chen Wenjin looked at Wu Xie, grabbed his hand distressedly, and said, "Xiao Xie, I know that you have lived with him for so many years, but this truth is too cruel for you. But I will tell you a little bit later. One thing, you may not believe it even more. We finally entered the hall of Yunding Tiangong, and it was your real third uncle, Wu Sansheng, who stunned us."
