Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 744 The Will of Heaven?

"Master Ming, I've already sent the information to Third Master that 'Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling, and Hei Xiazi were swept away by the Roaring Spring, their fate unknown, and we are currently doing everything we can to rescue them.'"

"Based on our current location and Third Master's habits, Third Master and Fatty should be able to arrive here in about four to five days."

Before leaving, Erjing waved his phone in his hand to indicate.

"okay, I get it."

Hu Ming nodded to indicate that he understood, and then conjured up three sets of specially made protective suits out of thin air, handing one of the goggles, which was pure black, to the blind man.

"We have a general idea of ​​the plan, and Wu Sansheng has even informed us of the situation in Leicheng."

"But Hu Ming, there's something I don't quite understand..."

As he put on the protective suit, the blind man couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"You mean, who is the special being I'm making a deal with?"

"Blind man, you and Brother are not brainless people. You've probably already guessed it, haven't you? To be honest, things have really taken me by surprise."

"But that's fine too, isn't it more interesting?"

Hu Ming put on protective clothing to cover his entire body, and at the same time, he secured an oxygen tank to his back and connected the valve.

"Let me tell you something else interesting. The so-called 'divine will' contained within the special frequency thunder... I can actually understand some of it."

"Around the 1990s, the day I woke up happened to be a once-in-a-decade thunderstorm. That was the first time I heard something different from the thunder."

"It was after I sensed something unusual and vague in the thunder that I embarked on my journey to find 'divine will.'"

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but over the past few years, I've repeatedly 'heard' a fact from the thunder that I can hardly believe."

Hu Ming gave an irrelevant answer, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with a strange light as he glanced at the location of the secret passage with a half-smile.

"Holy crap, no way, it's been that long!!"

"Didn't Wu Sansheng say that people who chase thunder are inevitably affected by the thunder and develop serious mental problems? You're not already insane, are you? Should I get you the best psychiatrist?"

The blind man was startled, let out a strange cry, and looked at Hu Ming with a puzzled expression.

Even the deliveryman looked at Hu Ming in surprise, seemingly unable to believe the fact.

"...According to our known information, to understand thunder, one must precisely drill holes in the skull using ancient methods to help collect the sound."

"This ancient method has extremely strict requirements. There are strict requirements for the number and location of holes, and even the diameter of each hole. Even a one-millimeter error can lead to serious consequences."

"But there is a special minority of people in this world who, due to their physical constitution, can understand thunder without any means of assistance, and are immune to the strange mental effects of thunder."

"I always thought someone was behind this, but after that person contacted me and revealed a secret, I realized..."

"Brother, we were wrong! It's true that the Zhang family's 'divine will' was caused by that old bastard in the meteorite messing around out of resentment, but the 'divine will' in the thunder... it probably really exists!"

After a moment of contemplation, Hu Ming sighed and recounted the astonishing discoveries he had made during this period.

"How can it be?"

Sure enough, even the young man couldn't help but change color after learning this astonishing information. Fate... This thing is simply metaphysical, incomprehensible, and indescribable. Since ancient times, records of fate have mostly been the ancients' conjectures about the unknown.

Hu Ming, Xiao Ge, the blind man, and the others had seen far too many strange things, but this was something called fate.
Anyone who learns that there seems to be a mysterious, supreme will in this world would feel a chill run down their spine and their scalp would tingle.

"Could that mysterious guy be lying to you?"

The blind man's expression kept changing.

"The probability is too small. It's not that I'm arrogant, but compared to naivety, the person who wants to fool me probably hasn't even been born yet."

"My intuition has always been my go-to skill for detecting lies, but this time... my intuition tells me that, perhaps, what that person said is true!"

"Whether it's fate or not, whether there truly are supreme gods, one thing I'm certain of right now is that there really is some kind of special being in this world, almost omniscient!!!"

Hu Ming said in a deep voice, word by word.

"Omniscience is omniscience, so why use such a vague description?"

The blind man asked blankly.

"Because...that unknown entity seems to know nothing about me."

A strange expression appeared on Hu Ming's face.

It was precisely because of this that Hu Ming became more certain of this terrifying conjecture.

Hu Ming knew perfectly well what made him special compared to everyone else in this world, and he had already made a bold guess.

……

"It's almost time. There's no time for us to speculate here. In short, once we arrive in Thunder City and confront that person face to face, I can put an end to many of the questions."

Listening intently to the sounds on the ground and from the roaring spring, Hu Ming's expression turned serious.

The Roaring Spring has a unique characteristic: after a tremendous sound is heard, the spring undergoes a change. The underground spring water surges up for a short period of time, filling the entire springhead, and does not recede until two months later.

The initial sounds of explosions, gunshots, and the ground are enough to activate the roaring fountain.

As they were talking, Hu Ming realized that the time for the roaring spring to erupt was approaching.

Boom!
The ground began to tremble slightly.

The roar of rushing water came from the spring in front of us, and in just a few seconds, a huge amount of groundwater gushed out from the spring!
Hundreds of tons of water instantly buried the low-lying area completely.

Hu Ming and his two companions were not surprised but delighted. They calmly watched as the spring water filled the area, and then, with a leap, they all jumped into the surging roaring spring!
Before being swept away by the water, Hu Ming endured the immense pressure of the water and turned around to face the blasted-open tunnel entrance. He smirked and made a "fuck you" gesture.

".without"

The moment Hu Ming and the others were swept away, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face appeared out of nowhere at the entrance of the secret passage.

Wu Erbai and his men left without even noticing the man's presence!
"Things have indeed taken an unexpected turn."

The man's face was so dark it was almost dripping with gloom; things had taken a fatal turn from what he had planned and anticipated!
He knew that Hu Ming's words were not only directed at the young man and the blind man, but also at him, who was hiding in the shadows!
"There's no other way. Just in case, you all have to die!"

In an instant, the man made his decision. He took a deep breath, his lungs expanded, and plunged headlong into the spot where Hu Ming and the other two had disappeared!
