Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 612 Just Trust Me

The light here is very dim.

Perhaps due to the special nature of the rock strata, the light couldn't shine very far before being absorbed, and nothing could be seen beyond a range of ten meters.

Perhaps it's psychological, but walking through a dark passage always feels like time is stretched out indefinitely, and all my senses are disturbed.

Mr. Ma, whose mind was the weakest, was already acting strangely at this point.

Irritable and irritable.

Unfortunately, even Su Nan, who seemed to be the most conscientious, was not that loyal.

"Why isn't it here yet? Why? Didn't they say...?"

Mr. Ma became increasingly irritable and couldn't help but question him.

just
"what!!!"

Mr. Ma was speaking when his retreating figure suddenly froze, and he fell from mid-air!
"Watch out, Mr. Ma!"

Thinking that the boss was genuinely working for Boss Ma, Eleven instinctively lunged forward and grabbed Boss Ma's hand, saving Boss Ma's life at the last second.

Just as Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, Su Nan subtly furrowed her carefully groomed eyebrows.

"You are a great person!"

Hu Ming leaned close to Su Nan and said jokingly.

"...Perhaps it's fate; he's not destined to die yet."

Su Nan glanced at Hu Ming indifferently and said in a nonchalant manner.

Believing she had obtained the most important intelligence and knowing that Li Cu was a "key figure," Su Nan gradually lost interest in Boss Ma.

"Fate? You people are still incorrigible. In the past, you used big data to predict a person's future and mental state. Now, is it fate again?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but people like you are incapable of achieving anything significant."

Hu Ming chuckled lightly with a hint of sarcasm and shook his head.

"So what? How we do things is our business, it's none of your concern."

"Instead of worrying about that, Professor Hu, you should concern yourself more with your own affairs. If I hadn't died here... do you think we could still keep that child a secret?"

Su Nan took a few steps back with a smile on his face and pressed his hand on the gun at his waist.

At this point, with things having come to this, the true intentions are about to be revealed.

Whether you live or die is up to fate, not something I can decide.

Hu Ming replied to Su Nan with the same words.

While the two were talking, Wu Xie was instructing Li Cu to set up the climbing rope for the descent.

The road ends here.

Without a doubt, the main burial chamber is located below!
Of course, even if we assume that what lies below isn't the main burial chamber, the group has no other choice but to move forward.

Too lazy to pay much attention to the still-shaken Boss Ma, Hu Ming and Wu Xie led Li Cu and slowly descended first.

But the bad thing is...

The rope is simply not long enough!
"Damn it, this is a 100-meter-long special rope! Just how deep is it down here?"

Wu Xie looked down into the darkness below and murmured in surprise.

"So what should we do? Go up?"

Li Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Here, the light penetration was getting worse and worse, barely reaching a two-meter radius. In this environment, Li Chu was finding it increasingly unbearable and desperately wanted to leave. "Do you believe me?"

After listening with his eyes closed for a moment, Hu Ming suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.

"believe!"

Wu Xie replied decisively.

"Of course I don't believe it!"

This was Li Cu's voice without any hesitation.

"Just trust me, then just follow my instructions."

Hu Ming selectively ignored Li Chu's voice, and amidst their astonished gazes, he unbuckled his safety harness, and then...

Then Hu Ming grinned, suddenly loosened the rope, and let his body fall down under the force of gravity!
"...I see! I understand now! How amazing!"

Wu Xie quickly realized what was happening and looked thoughtfully into the darkness below.

"What's so strange? Wu Xie, Hu Ming is dead!!!"

"You're still laughing? Your Uncle Ming is dead and you're still laughing?"

Li Chu's face turned deathly pale, and he almost cried out.

"Li Chu, if you don't believe Uncle Ming, then do you believe me?"

"Believe me, I promised I would guarantee your safety and bring you back safely."

So... don't hesitate!

Wu Xie looked at Li Cu encouragingly, and like Hu Ming, he loosened the safety buckle, let go of his hands, and let himself fall!
"Damn it, they've all gone mad! They're all insane!!!"

Despite this, Li Chu's body behaved obediently; he shakily followed the two men, unfastening the safety buckle and letting go...

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Amidst continuous screams, Li Cu closed his eyes and let himself fall freely.

痛!
It hurts so much!!
My legs and buttocks are really so painful, I've almost lost all feeling in them!
but…

But it didn't seem to hurt as much as I had imagined?
Li Cu's blank mind began to function, and he seemed to have discovered something different.

"Still howling like a ghost? Although you are still young, you are still a man. Open your eyes and look carefully, you are safe."

A familiar voice came from beside me—it was Hu Ming!

Li Chu stopped screaming, opened his eyes, and sure enough, there was Hu Ming's disgusted look and Wu Xie's big face trying to suppress a laugh.

"I...I'm fine?"

Li Chu blinked, then subconsciously pinched his thigh hard and cried out in pain.

"It's only three meters high, and there's a relatively soft layer of sand underneath. What could possibly happen?"

"Get up, the people up there should be getting down soon. If you don't want to be crushed, move aside."

Hu Ming rolled his eyes slightly, grabbed Li Cu's hand, and pulled him up.

It has to be said that this kid truly lives up to his reputation as the protagonist of Sand Sea; his nature is completely different from that of his peers.

This kind of resilience is truly admirable!
If it were any other seventeen-year-old, who would dare to jump off a cliff when they couldn't see anything clearly?
"You're not mistaken, holy crap, what's going on?"

Hu Ming praised Wu Xie, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something and subconsciously looked up into the darkness above.

The next instant, a soft body with a faint fragrance landed from above into Hu Ming's instinctively outstretched arms.
