Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

Wei Wuxian watched all this in silence, finding it incredibly ironic. However, these were all internal affairs of the Nine Gates, and Wei Wuxian decided not to get involved.

Standing there, despite his "weak" appearance, watching this unique spectacle unfold! ↗

*?????(??w?)????

Wei Wuxian leaned lazily against the chair, legs crossed, twirling Chenqing in his hand, completely unconcerned about the large wound on his hand.

The eerie beauty and malevolent aura mingled with blood mist that clung to the Chenqing flute, appearing and disappearing intermittently, exuding a strange blend of beauty and malevolence.

Wei Wuxian, completely concealed by a cloak and mask, sat silently in the corner.

However, the chilling killing intent emanating from him was like frost in the dead of winter, making "it" people shudder!

Even though Wei Wuxian looked weak and harmless at the moment, "it" people dared not act recklessly.

They even subconsciously ignored this dangerous and terrifying Jade-Faced Yama, fearing that making eye contact with him would cost them their lives!

Wei Wuxian: Tch~

No matter how much that mutt from the Wang family boasts, it's still afraid of dying.

… ?( ????? ) ? ?? ????

Honestly, if Wei Wuxian weren't maintaining his precarious "sickly" persona, he would have been stuffing two handfuls of melon seeds into his mouth!

(￣y▽￣)~* Cover your mouth and snicker

Wei Wuxian reached out and grabbed, and a paper figure, as if drawn by ghostly energy, came to him.

The paper figure looked up, its eyes darting around, and its mouth stretched wide as if seeking praise. It was so lifelike, even more so than a living person.

Wei Wuxian reached out his slender hand and gently patted the paper figure's head, and several wisps of ghostly energy rose from the paper figure.

Suddenly, several spent cartridge cases were sucked out in mid-air. The paper figure's body was already somewhat damaged due to the burning from the firearms.

The paper pasted on the outside had several holes burned through, but fortunately, the fire was put out in time, and the frame was sturdy enough not to be burned to ashes. He limped back.

Besides those who happened to capture "it" at the Nine Gates, half of the paper puppets that were destroyed or burned by the pirates' firearms were also killed on this trip!

Throughout history, few have returned from battle; even paper figures are no exception. This one is lucky; though tattered and broken, it has returned safely to report to its master.

(?? ? ???)

"Wait until you're sad, then analyze where this thing came from, okay?"

Wei Wuxian used his ghostly energy to pull out the spent bullet casings from the paper figures, and they landed with a clattering sound on the stone table where the leaders of the Nine Gates were seated, now the center of everyone's attention.

Upon hearing Wei Wuxian's voice, Master Jie barely managed to recover from the grief and vulnerability of being betrayed by a woman and cuckolded.

To divert attention, the old fox preemptively analyzed, "These spent cartridge cases are quite advanced; even for someone like Buddha, finding a way to retrieve them wouldn't be easy."

Looking at Changsha, the most likely candidates are people from foreign chambers of commerce and people from Kou Island.

Look! Master Xie's feet are off the ground, his intelligence has taken over again, and after analyzing the situation, he's elegantly shutting himself in...

The others looked at Master Xie, only to see him become lost in his own world again after speaking, seemingly pondering something.

Is it reminiscing about the good old days, or envisioning revenge in the future?

o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓ I slapped the table and laughed wildly!

His face changed like a chameleon, sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes purple, as if a colorful palette had been smashed on his face!

╮(??? ? ???)╭

The others were momentarily speechless, given the sheer number of "confidantes" kneeling and begging for mercy, along with their entourage, was truly astonishing.

Master Jie calmed himself down in a little while; after all, the stimulation was just too much, and he needed time to adjust.

No one can help him now, he won't listen to any comforting words, it's no use saying anything!

Master Xie Jiu—truly pitiful! ↗

If he had known that his future son would abandon the family business and run off to another family, and that even at his funeral, the youngest son would have been left alone to break a basin and not return to offer incense, he would have been far away.

I reckon Master Xie is now completely disillusioned with the world!

But everything has its comparisons; without comparison, there's no harm done. In comparison, Huo Sanniang and Wu Laogou don't seem so depressed anymore! ↗

Wu Laogou: Brother, even though you're in a terrible situation, forgive me for laughing, it wasn't very kind of me~

(￣y▽￣)~* Cover your mouth and snicker

Huo Sanniang: Heh~ I warned you long ago that you, so clever, would eventually fall from grace because you were so fond of women. Now it's come true, hasn't it?

≡^v^≡

Master Xie: You...you...

((((*?_?)_

Besides Zhang Qishan, the Xie family had the best information network outside Changsha.

Businessmen are all friends!

……

Among "it" members, there are indeed some tough ones, so deeply brainwashed that, in order to maintain their faith, they didn't even realize the situation was turning against them when the paper figures grabbed them; some even fainted from fright.

Now that he's awake, he wants to prove his loyalty with his death, sacrificing his life to honor that so-called loyalty, unaware that he's been captured and is nothing more than a pawn to be discarded.

Human life is nothing compared to the greater cause it represents; it's the least valuable thing. It's perfectly normal to sacrifice a few people to achieve this great cause!

One chess piece is gone, but there's another one, and another one after that...

There are always people who join "it" in pursuit of immortality, giving everything for it and finding it sweet!

However, Feng Che used the same string that the paper puppet used to cosplay as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped object) to hang them up as well, making them teru teru bozu #2! ↗

This is no small-scale act, but a real situation of being unable to live or die!
