Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Xiao Ran was startled by the sudden appearance of the humanoid in front of him. He quickly took a few steps back while his flashlight was firmly locked on the humanoid.

After he had withdrawn more than ten steps, he looked at the rickety man who was still motionless, and felt a trace of doubt in his heart.

At this time, the artifacts were inexplicably silent. He couldn't tell what kind of demon Zongzi the other party was, but it didn't look like a human being.He had dodged the attack completely by luck and instinct before, but until now, the opponent had not let him feel a breath that a living person should have.

Or rather...

Before he could think about it further, the originally motionless rickets seemed to be like a toy suddenly electrified, dragging the engineer shovel towards him in a stiff posture and moving quickly towards him.

Xiao Ran was shocked and quickly dodged aside again.This time the dodge was effortless. The next second after he dodged, the rusty engineer shovel of the rickety man suddenly lifted up and cut through the air in front of him with a "whoosh" sound.

Xiao Ran was about to take advantage of the opponent's attack and ask him who he was.Unexpectedly, the rickety man turned the engineer shovel at an extremely fast speed and swept towards him.

Xiao Ran hurriedly paused again, then rolled to the side one after another.The rickety man once again stopped in place like a rusty machine, without any movement.

"What the hell are you?!"

He shouted loudly, but the other party did not respond, and remained as frozen as before.

A thought came to Xiao Ran's mind: Could this thing be some kind of creation of machine magic?Or what kind of robots are mentioned in those foreign science fiction novels?

But if it is this kind of thing, it is either made of wood or iron, and it will not be so flexible and light when moving.Judging from the fragments of tattered clothes and the rusty engineering shovel on his body, it should not be an ancient creation like Xianniang Temple...

Xiao Ran felt a little upset. There was always something strange about this inexplicable person...or thing.Considering that he always launched surprise attacks, Xiao Ran cautiously took a few steps to the side.

But just when he reached a safe position, the rickety man once again rushed towards the place where he stopped before, and then waved two shovels in succession, as if fighting for the air.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that at the same time as the rickety man swung the shovel, a picture appeared in his mind, which was how he would have blocked or dodged the opponent's attack if he had not dodged just now.

The order and position of the rickety man's shovel swings were exactly in line with the idea in his mind.This feeling is like... He really can't describe this feeling. All he can think of is a movie that he has watched many times. All the plots are so familiar that he can speak the lines or make actions before the people in the picture. .

Yes, that's the feeling, but now the rickets are moviegoers, and he is a movie character who breaks the original plot and creates a new reaction before the audience.

A word was ready to come out in Xiao Ran's heart, but then, the rickety man suddenly shook his whole body and made an action that was unexpected but reasonable.

"Li... Zhizui? Mori is still... very into..."

The rickets' body trembled slightly, as if he was very excited.His voice was hoarse and his speech was a little unclear, but Xiao Ran could tell that what he was asking was: "Who are you? The voice is very familiar..."

The rickety man's reaction was once again delayed. It had been a while since Xiao Ran's shouting words had passed, but he seemed to have heard them all of a sudden.

No matter what, firstly, the other party must be a living person, rational and able to communicate; secondly, he is definitely not the second uncle.Thinking about it this way, the result was not bad, and Xiao Ran immediately relaxed a lot.He lowered his guard and thought about how to make up a lie to fool him first.The rickety man put his hand into the rag on his chest, twisted it hard, and screamed in pain.

For a moment, Xiao Ran felt a sense of dizziness, and the scene in front of him became blurry and blurry.This feeling seemed familiar to him, it was something that only happened when the celestial needle was used to distort time.

He hurriedly touched his hand to his belt, and the cold touch told him that the celestial dial needle was still there.

This thing is said to be a god by Bei Jiuguo. Could it be that this god was made in batches?

Before he could think about it, the distorted feeling had disappeared, and the surroundings had returned to the previous tranquility.He shook his head and looked at the rickety man. At this time, the man was obviously more energetic than before, and he had changed his posture at some point.

The shovel in his hand was held in front of him like a cane, and his lowered chin almost touched the back of his hand holding the handle of the shovel.His head moved slightly from time to time, and even though his face was covered tightly by a rag mask, it could be seen that he was looking at Xiao Ran with interest.

Seeing the other party's relaxed and non-aggressive posture, Xiao Ran slowly straightened up and put the knife back into its sheath.Since the other party doesn't have any ill intentions and looks like he's been here for a long time, it's better to be polite and maybe he can get some useful information out of him.

"Ahem...I am..."

"You are Xiao Ran, a native of Zhaojing. Your family owns an antique shop. You have been able to hear the antiques talking since you were a child. You also have a few artifacts on your body. You and your... second uncle, Xiao Changkong are here to recast the Faqiu Seal. ,Right……"

Before Xiao Ran could announce his family status, the rickets handed him the most important information and poured beans into it through a bamboo tube. Xiao Ran was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment and just froze in place.

The other party's voice was still low and hoarse, but at this time his articulation was very clear, and even had a hint of Xiao Ran's familiar Zhaojing accent.

Who is the other party?Why do you know about him?The part of Xiao Ran's brain that was not short-circuited came up with the simplest answer: This man has met his second uncle!
When he realized it, a feeling of hostility rose up in his heart again, so he quickly bent down to be on guard, and at the same time touched his hand to the handle of the knife.

But after doing this, Xiao Ran was stunned again.While he was doing this series of movements, the opponent also used the shovel as a knife, and bent down to hold the handle in sync with him. The movements were synchronized to the minute.

"I...have never seen him...Xiao Changkong. In this place, I can know all your actions and even some thoughts before you do, so...don't waste your efforts."

As the rickets spoke, he slowly returned to his previous relaxed state.His tone was full of joking, but when he mentioned the three words "Xiao Changkong", there was a slight resistance and disgust twice, and he even gritted his teeth.

The other party's ability to predict things beforehand made Xiao Ran even more insecure.Before, he felt that he was a person in the film who could determine the direction of the plot, but now it seems that he has really become a fixed character in the eyes of the opposite audience who can be seen through everything.

The only good thing is that this rickety man does not look malicious at all.Xiao Ran had no choice but to put down his hostility, straightened up and moved his shoulders and neck as if to resist.

"Haha... Come on, let's find a place to sit down and chat..."

After saying this, the rickety man put the broken shovel on his shoulders and walked towards the middle tower.Xiao Ran took a deep breath and followed with full of doubts.
