Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

While Xiao Ran was still choked, the second uncle dragged his broken leg and jumped on Xiao Ran. He grabbed the Wuhou Divine Machine and threw it away. Then he hit and grabbed the ground and shouted: "You fake! Get out of here and offer sacrifice to me." Product! I am the real one!"

Xiao Ran kept doing nothing, swallowing the soul-locking orb hard, and waved his fist at his second uncle: "You foreigner, I was born and raised here, I am the real one!"

"I'm real and you're fake!"

"You are fake and I am real!"

At this time, the two of them had become ordinary people with little strength and could only fight in the most primitive way. The second uncle bit Xiao Ran with his teeth, and Xiao Ran inserted his fingers into the second uncle's nostrils and pulled hard. In the end, the two of them were at the same time again. He raised his foot and kicked the opponent out.

But this time, Xiao Ran miscalculated and kicked his second uncle to the Guanshan knife.The second uncle quickly picked up the knife and smiled excitedly at Xiao Ran: "Ah~ha!"

Xiao Ran lay weakly on the ground, too lazy to move.The second uncle jumped around holding the knife, moved it over little by little, and finally put the knife on Xiao Ran's neck.

"If you have anything else to say, hurry up..." The second uncle gasped.

Xiao Ran also gasped and said: "Old man, what kind of tonic pills have you taken? It's so endless..."

"Hehe, yes! Next year today, I will take your second aunt and your younger brothers and sisters to visit your grave!"

After the second uncle said this, he swung his knife to chop off Xiao Ran's neck.

Xiao Ran looked at Tongtianjian on the side and asked quietly: "What are you thinking about if you don't take action directly when you come up..."

When the second uncle heard this, he quickly stopped and wondered: "What are you thinking? Do you care what I think? You have killed me several times, but you haven't done anything yet. What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Ran turned his head, looked at his second uncle, sighed and said, "Second uncle, in fact, you have always had family affection in your heart, for me, for me...for our mother, right?"

The second uncle's expression suddenly became a little panicked, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "What kind of bird fart is that? I wish your kid would die..."

"If you really wanted me to die, you wouldn't have worked so hard to steal the fragments that night, right? If you really wanted me to die, you wouldn't have let me reforge the seal in Zhaojing. If it had succeeded, You can come here by yourself without killing me, right? You didn't consider killing me as the first option from the beginning, but tried to avoid letting anything happen to me."

The second uncle moved his lips, as if he didn't know what to say.

"If you really wanted me to die, when I had the chance to kill you just now, you wouldn't have been thinking about how I was when I was a child, how you played with me. Just now you were flying around in the sky, leaving behind With one hand, he deliberately missed the target several times.

"We all know how to use the soul-locking orb. You could have locked my entire soul, but you only locked my ability to control the artifact. You were just angry with me, and you didn't make up your mind at all. Kill me, right?”

"I...I wanted you to be a sacrifice. If you die, it will be over..." the second uncle said.

Xiao Ran shook his head, pointed at Tongtianjian and said, "Then what are you thinking about now? Tongtianjian can detect people's true feelings and will not lie..."

The second uncle turned around and saw a crying child in Tongtianjian, running towards him while calling the second uncle.He picked up the child, wiped the ashes on the child's face lovingly, pointed at a few children running away and yelled: "If you bully my nephew again, I'll spank your butts!"

Scene after scene of him getting along with Xiao Ran flickered like a movie.

"Before, when you told me your story, you spoke with disdain for everyone, but when it came to me...our mother, you always said 'mom'. You even avoided swearing at me, right? Right?" Xiao Ran said.

"Hahaha... So what if it is true or false?" The second uncle turned his head, his body trembled slightly, and there were tears in his eyes, "She is dead, and this time, her death is related to me..."

Xiao Ran's eyes were also a little moist: "Second uncle... If I tell you that she is hiding in Qigezhuang's hometown before she is dead, would you like to work with me to find a way, let's live together and go back together..."

The muscles on the second uncle's face were shaking, and tears finally burst out.The old man with gray hair and smooth ears stood there crying like a child.

"Second uncle..."

"No! You lied to me! She's dead! You have to die too! I want to live, I want to enter the next cycle! I want to keep living!"

The second uncle suddenly became excited and slashed at Xiao Ran's chest with his knife.Xiao Ran groaned and felt some pain in his chest, but there was no warmth from the blood gushing out.

He looked at his chest and saw that the blade of the Guanshan Dao was rolled up like paper and hit his chest like a stick.

Not only the Guanshan Sword, Xiao Ran felt that the soul-locking spirit beads in his body seemed to have lost their effectiveness, and the injuries from the previous fight also began to heal slowly.

"Second uncle, you hesitated. Even these artifacts have felt in your heart. I don't want you to regret it, so just stop..." Xiao Ran advised.

The second uncle dropped the knife, took two steps back, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Stop it... How can I stop it... What's the point of living like this..."

Xiao Ran got up to pull him, when a violent tremor came from the sky dial, undulating outward like ocean waves, and a large number of rocks and rattans began to fall from above.

"Old Xiao! Fight quickly, I feel that the divine dial is about to activate. If we don't send sacrifices... this world will be over!" Bai Jiuguo shouted.

Xiao Ran looked at his second uncle who was sitting slumped on the ground. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then suddenly took out another celestial dial needle and stabbed it into his chest.

Blood spurted out from the gap in the wound, and Xiao Ran groaned in severe pain.The second uncle looked up and saw the celestial dial needle in Xiao Ran's hand, and was shocked: "This... this is..."

Xiao Ran said the answer he guessed: "This is the future me, the me who fell below, was also given to me in the dream. Your plan is destined to be impossible to succeed, don't waste your life. You have to live , I am just a... substitute..."

Xiao Ran grabbed his second uncle's shoulder and began to turn the dial counterclockwise. The time and space between the two began to reverse in a small way.

The second uncle held Xiao Ran's hand tightly and shouted: "Are you stupid? If you do this, the rotation of the skydial will not be reversed. It's useless..."

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and continued to turn the dial needle.In the second uncle's astonishment, his legs slowly healed, and the wounds on his body also slowly healed.

"Second uncle...run quickly...find the black blind man..." Xiao Ran said, pushed his second uncle away, ran to the edge of the cliff with his last strength, and jumped down.

Looking at the dimly shining fluorite on the top, faces flashed before his eyes that made him feel familiar and warm.

Father, mother, Hu Bayi, Fatty, Shirley Yang, Yingzi, Da Jinya, Liu Shengli, Xu Er, Heixiazi.

The white-bearded and white-haired Bai Jiuguo, the Yin-Yang Mirror in a green robe, the soul-locking spirit bead with thick beard wrapped around his head, the rebellious Guanshan Sword, and the armor-clad Shenxing Wuyu Arrow.

"If you still have me next time... let's go to Dongsi... to cook mutton..." Xiao Ran slowly closed his eyes.

By the way, there is the second uncle... Xiao Ran, I hope you can have a happier life next time...

Suddenly, he felt his body shake violently, as if something had caught on his clothes, and his neck almost broke.He endured the pain and opened his eyes, and was shocked to see that his body was wrapped in flying tiger claws, and the other end of the rope was held in the hands of his second uncle who was also falling from the cliff.

"Second uncle! You..."

When the two fell to a protruding dry tree trunk, the second uncle jerked the rope.The rope drew a trap around the tree trunk, hanging Xiao Ran in mid-air.

"I have lived as Xiao Ran for too long. You can walk the rest of the way for me..."

After saying this, the second uncle released the rope with a determined look.Xiao Ran saw his second uncle falling into the abyss with his eyes closed, but there was a calm smile on his face.

A ray of white light struck from above, as if the sun suddenly descended on the world, and the surrounding space seemed to twist like a vortex, and everything was drawn into the vortex in the white light.

……

Xiao Ran woke up in a bright white light, feeling that his whole body was soft and unable to move.His eyes weren't focused very well, and he could only roughly see that he was in a room filled with white.

The white walls, white window edges, white stools, and a lot of white instruments with flashing lights look very high-end.He lowered his chin and saw himself lying on a white bed, covered with a white quilt.

These things are a bit familiar. I remember seeing myself in such a white room, lying on a white bed, while half asleep and half awake several times before.

Everything I see is white. Could it be that... I am dead?Out of body experience?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, I heard a snoring sound.He turned his head and saw someone lying on the bed next to him.He blinked hard and his vision finally focused, and then he saw clearly that it was a fat black man wearing colorful clothes.

There should be no fat man who can snore in the morgue or the underworld.

He tried hard to think of the sound, but felt that he didn't even have the strength in his throat.When he saw a glass of water on the table next to him, he raised his hand with all his strength and pushed the glass to the ground.

A clear voice sounded, and the fat black man sat up suddenly and shouted: "Push the tower!"

"Uh uh uh……"

Xiao Ran tried his best to raise his hand and wanted to call the fat man, but he still couldn't make a sound.

The fat man stretched and yawned, rubbed his eyes and glanced in his direction, then lay down to go back to sleep.But the moment his head hit the pillow, the fat man suddenly jumped up as if he was electrocuted, jumped to Xiao Ran, and stared at Xiao Ran as if he had seen a ghost.

The next second, explosive shouts resounded throughout the corridor.

"Doctor! Nurse! Wake up! He's awake!"

A large group of people in white clothes poured into the ward and looked at Xiao Ran carefully.Judging from their clothes, they should be medical workers, but they are a bit unfamiliar.

After these people finished checking, the fat black man rushed to the bed again, with an excited smile on his face.

"Brother Qiang! You finally woke up! They have rescued you several times before. If you don't wake up again, they will extubate you!"

Brother Qiang?Extubation?Xiao Ran was confused for a while.

At this time, the fat man took out a square black board, about the size of two cigarette boxes, and moved it next to him, so that his greasy head was almost touching his head.He was a little disgusted and instinctively tilted his head to dodge.

"Brother Qiang, to celebrate your successful return from studying abroad with Prince Yama, let's take a group photo..."

Taking a group photo... where is the camera?Where is the photographer?Who is this fat man and what is he doing?Even if his parents are not here, where have Hu Bayi and the others gone?
Question marks were popping up in his mind. Suddenly, he saw the fat man tap the surface of the blackboard with his hand. The blackboard actually lit up. It showed the date X, month, X, 201X...

Xiao Ran was so shocked that he didn't have time to see the specific year, month and day clearly.This thing would light up and show the time. He had seen it in a fantasy world when he and his second uncle were trapped in the circular painted wall hall of Tongtian Taisui!

Things that people consider important in their hearts will appear in that environment. If he and his second uncle, as two Xiao Ran, could see each other's thoughts at that time, then this thing should be in the second uncle's memory...

A not-so-good premonition arose in his mind.

"Brother Qiang, come on, one, two, three, lame!"

As the fat black man shouted, two faces suddenly appeared on the blackboard. One was the fat black man, and the other was thin, haggard, and pale. They looked strange but seemed familiar at the same time.

"This is...I am..."

A large number of strange memories once again poured into my mind like a waterfall, and a thought clearly appeared in my mind:

I traveled to my second uncle’s world!
Xiao Ran's head felt dizzy, and he closed his eyes and fainted again.
