Tomb Raider: As a cannon fodder, I started to play badly

The scent on Bai Ran's body was not the scent of frequent tomb-dwelling, but a faint scent of gardenia.

Bai Ran likes gardenias because gardenias mean a lifetime of waiting. He has someone to protect, which is his motivation to live and his hope to persevere.

Xie Yuchen felt the scent of Bai Ran's gardenia surrounding him, the warmth coming through her clothes, and the embrace that made him feel extremely safe. He was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, he felt greedy.

Bai Ran looked at Xie Yuchen who hadn't reacted, and thought that he was frightened and hadn't recovered. After all, Xie Yuchen was still a child at the moment, so Bai Ran just smiled and waited.

"Okay, let's set off quickly!" Xie Yuchen reacted and saw Bai Ran looking at him with a smile. He immediately struggled to get down, with a look of shock on his face.

Bai Ran did not stop him. He followed Xie Yuchen's strength and let Xie Yuchen return to the embrace of the earth.

After Xie Yuchen stood on the ground again, he did not rush forward alone without considering his own limitations. Instead, he stood behind Bai Ran calmly and rationally. However, he did not dare to look at Bai Ran's figure.

Bai Ran didn't say anything, just rubbed Jie Yuchen's head, and then focused his eyes on the darkness in front of him. He moved his fingers slightly, and bits of starlight surrounded Jie Yuchen and Bai Ran, not only enveloping them in light, but also blocking the wishful thinking of darkness.

Bai Ran looked back at Xie Yuchen, his lips moved slightly, and his fingertips moved again. Xie Yuchen was very confused and uneasy, but his last consciousness was to feel his increasingly dizzy head and the rejection that he had not yet said.

Bai Ran took a step forward, hugged Xie Yuchen in his arms, and carefully put Xie Yuchen on the ground. He looked at Xie Yuchen, who closed his eyes but still frowned slightly, and felt funny and warm in his heart. He smoothed Xie Yuchen's brows and looked at him quietly for a while.

"Sorry, you came down for the peace of mind of Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qilin! I can't let you continue exploring! This place has changed a lot. Even I might not be able to hold on. There is no way I will let you come down! Things have changed a lot!" Bai Ran seemed to be saying goodbye, looking at Jie Yuchen, and continued to speak regardless of the fact that he could no longer hear.

He shook his body, stood up, and slashed with his dagger. Using blood as paint and his palm as a paintbrush, he drew a formation on the place where Xie Yuchen was lying.

After drawing the formation, Bai Ran's breath became weaker and weaker. He took a last look at Xie Yuchen in the formation, smiled, and then turned and left without any nostalgia.

Bai Ran walked in the well, and just like the last time he came here, this space kept rejecting him. The difference was that last time Bai Ran came here in a state of complete victory, but this time he came here in a state of low health, so the rejection was not as strong as last time.

"You don't belong here..."

"all because of you…"

"It's all your fault..."

……

Whispering sounds rang out, countless voices were hysterical. Bai Ran didn't care at all. For some things, as long as you feel sad, it's fine. Others can bring up things to cause you to make mistakes, which is something those who really care about you will never want to see.

Bai Ran didn't know how long he had been walking in the darkness. He could only stop when he couldn't hold on any longer, take a few breaths, and then gather his strength to continue moving forward.

One step, one step, and another step.

In the darkness, in the determination to protect others, time has lost its meaning.

Finally, the torment of whispering disappeared. Bai Ran's mental torture finally ended.

Bai Ran raised his head, his face was pale and his palms were still bleeding.

He was a little dazed. He seemed to see that person? That person was still smiling, looking at him, and stretched out his hand, as if to take Bai Ran.

Did you finally come?
