Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Su Chen knew very well that Wang Heng was dead. After being kicked by him, Wang Heng had no chance of surviving given his physical condition.

But the person standing in front of him at this moment did indeed look exactly like Wang Heng.

No... upon closer inspection, there is actually a slight difference.

This Wang Heng was thinner, and there was no ambition in his eyes, only weariness.

"Who are you."

“Wang Heng and I are twin brothers. You can call me Wang Yong, or Wang Heng is fine too.”

Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Yong's tone carried a faint sense of death.

“I am Wang Heng’s double and shadow. Many of his plans have not gone wrong because I secretly watched over them. As the head of the family’s double, we have done too many things.”

"Whether I like it or not, whether the outcome is good or bad, I will do it as long as my brother thinks it can make the Wang family stronger."

Wang Yong remained calm as Su Shou continued doing what he had done: he had shielded Wang Heng from a knife, secretly worked for him, and even killed the clan elders.

“My brother’s ambitions are too great. I don’t actually want to do anything. I just want to be a farmer. But my brother won’t even allow that. The fact that you’ve come this far means he’s already dead.”

Listening to Wang Yong's words, Su Chen suddenly realized a very serious problem: Wang Yong's position seemed to be different from Wang Heng's.

"You could have left quietly, so why are you here?"

"The computing department holds the biggest secret of the Wang family, and also the secret to their rise. I can help you unlock this door. I hope you will give the Wang family a way out."

Wang Yong's tone was somewhat serious, with a hint of pleading.

"it is good!"

Su Chen readily agreed, and Wang Yong was ready to put a knife to his throat and put on a show of "if you don't agree, I'll kill myself."

But Su Chen's decisive nod left them bewildered.

"You agree now?"

"As long as I'm in the Wang family, I won't cause any trouble. Besides, after experiencing freedom, how many people would want to become machines again?"

Su Chen's idea was simple: kill all those who wanted to resist, and throw out the rest.

Anyway, in a few decades, the Wang family will be completely gone.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong gave a wry smile, stepped forward, and began to unlock the door.

He realized he was overthinking things. People aren't machines; it's impossible for someone to be completely devoid of thought. The fact that he could think of these things meant he had done right by his brother.

Su Chen was unaware that if Wang Heng had won, Wang Yong would have continued to willingly act as a shadow, but if he had won, the outcome would have been the same as it is now.

He didn't care who won or lost, Su Chen said, looking at Wang Yong's expression.

"Actually, you don't have to die."

“I am my brother’s shadow. If my brother dies, I, as his shadow, cannot live.”

Wang Yong spoke calmly, having already considered his fate when he arrived here.

To die quietly was a good outcome for him.

Su Chen looked at the person in front of him, about to say something, when the door lock clicked open. Wang Yong took two steps back, turned around and walked outside.

"I will die in front of you. If it's not a fake death, please spare the Wang family's life."

He slid a dagger out of his sleeve, glanced at Su Chen, and then plunged it into his own neck.

Blood flowed down his arm and formed a pool on the ground.

Su Chen remained expressionless, feeling that the Wang family's existence was becoming increasingly meaningless. Without turning his head, he pushed open the door.

He thought there was some great secret hidden behind the door, but unexpectedly, a blinding light filled his eyes, and when he saw his surroundings clearly, he was completely stunned.

His location suddenly transformed into a courtyard, within which stood an inconspicuous fishpond. The koi carp in the pond were jostling and bumping against each other, vying for the falling fish food.

In the pavilion above the fishpond, a young man dressed in fine clothes leaned against a pillar, one leg slightly bent and the other dangling above the water, as he carefully fed fish into the water.

The splashes of water from the fish food were swallowed up by the waves created as the koi fought over them.

"You are...Wang Zanghai?"

When Su Chen saw that figure, a name suddenly popped into his mind.

Apart from Zhou Wei, the founder of the Wang family, it seems that no one else would adopt this attitude.

“I am not Wang Zanghai, you can call me Qing.”

The boy's voice was very pleasant, like heavenly music.

Su Chen looked at him, then looked around.

"What is this place?"

"Computing department?"

Upon hearing this, Qing smiled at him and said, "Whatever you want this place to be, that's what it is. It doesn't depend on me, it depends on you."

"What the hell are you?"

Su Chen frowned. He didn't feel like he was unconscious, but everything around him felt so real.

This made him instinctively wary, his gaze constantly sweeping over the person in front of him.

Before he could figure out what this meant, Qing said slowly.

"Call me something if you want, but ever since I've known about you, I've been making predictions. But no matter what variables I add, there's only one outcome for the Wang family in your eyes."

"fail."

“Until you chose to get close to the Wang family, I saw the downfall of the Nine Gates and the Wang family in it. I have calculated many things and made many plans, but no one has ever been as unreasonable as you.”

Qing's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, as if he had encountered a cheater in a game, and was no match for the cheater no matter how well he played or how well he performed.

What's there to compare then?

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this. He guessed that Qing was the so-called computing department, but he did not expect that the Qing in front of him was a person.

"In other words, you knew from the beginning that my involvement would bring destruction to the Wang family."

“I can’t calculate these things. I can only give the possible development of things. I can see clearly whether it’s the Nine Gates or the Wang family, but you are the one I can’t see clearly at all. I can’t even predict what you will do next.”

Qing looked at him with a troubled expression, tilted her head and looked at him as she spoke.

“I always thought you might be different from what I suspected, that you weren’t even human, but when I met you, I didn’t see anything different about you.”

"How exactly did you do that?"

Su Chen held the Human Emperor Sword, and the slightly cold touch of it brought him some comfort.

He had never encountered such a bizarre scene before, so he was thinking about where to start.

Qing seemed to sense his thoughts and smiled as she asked.

"Aren't you going to talk to me a little longer?"

Su Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly opened his mouth.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an illusion?"
