Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

When the second uncle finally calmed down and held his knees while panting, Xiao Ran opened his eyes.In the dim light, he saw a few drops of tears falling from his second uncle's eyes, falling to the ground and creating a slight cloud of dust.

The second uncle raised his head with red eyes, and two lines of tears rushed down his dusty face.There was a helpless sadness on his face, and he said in a feeble voice: "Have you ever played with building blocks, right? The house you built with so much painstaking efforts is pushed down again and again. Do you know that feeling? You don't know, because you You have only lived half a lifetime, and you have family to support you, so what happened to you is nothing!"

After saying the last few words, the second uncle looked at Xiao Ran's expressionless face, put away his weakness again, straightened up and wiped his face violently, revealing that scary smile again.

"I went on to say that for the fourth time, I was tired, but still unwilling to give up hope. So while I continued to use my abilities to make money and learn, I joined the protagonist team of this tomb-robber world at the right time, and only in some key situations The node office helps them make suggestions and turn danger into safety.

"I think my final destination is probably to go to the United States with Hu Bayi and the others to retire. Anyway, it's my first time traveling, and I'm optimistic about some land. It would be good to live out that life comfortably.

"But this time, I finally understood how the world works and why I was reborn again and again. In 1984, Shirley Yang helped us complete all the procedures for moving to the United States, and just as the plane took off At that moment, Hu Bayi said, "I will never ask about fighting again in my life." That damn change of color came again, and I started my fifth time traveling.

"This is the world of tomb robbers, and naturally it can only end with the ending of the protagonist's story. No matter how powerful I am and how much I know about the future, my fate can only be like that of many supporting characters. At the end of the story, I meet Hu Ba. Once they end together.

"In order to make sure that the rebirth of that son of a bitch is only related to the main line of the story, in the new round, I once again made my antique business world-famous, indulged in alcohol and indulgence, and deliberately did many evil things that were borderline legal. Finally, as an investor, I took a risk with Hu Bayi and the others. Sure enough, the cycle happened again in 1984.

"After that, I tried various ways of living, good and bad, again and again. I could never escape the end of 1984. I accepted my fate and gave up. I tried to persuade myself that I was a person in this world. A chess piece, living this life from one point to another, but at least I can experience this life in a different way. Hey! Just like that, this son of a bitch world actually started to reward me. Guess what? What's going on?"

Xiao Ran was too lazy to raise his head again. He just looked at the ground silently and said coldly: "If you have the ability... kill me... let's see who you can... tell..."

"Ouch! Little brat, it seems you have guessed it. I can only tell you what I have to say, and only you can understand it. Although I hate your cowardly attitude like your father, I quite like it. You're so smart, just let me do it. Then I won't let you guess, so I'll just tell you..."

The second uncle suddenly had a strange light in his eyes: "I discovered that as long as I concentrate on thinking about someone before the cycle, in the new cycle, I can become that person and live in this world as him.

"From then on, I could play any partridge whistle, Chen Yulou, or even Yingzi or the old branch secretary of Gangggangyingzi, as long as they were not those three people. I also played the role of Da Jinya. Alas... that time was terrible. It disgusts me. This guy has athlete's foot, hemorrhoids, and psoriasis in his 30s...

"Tsk, tsk, people always say a lot, but they are wrong again. Although it is fun to play these people, and they can always maintain their youthful state, except for that bastard's 1984, they have to be controlled by their fate. For example, Partridge Whistle, that time It was really unbearable. The blood vessels all over my body were like steel bars, and they were punctured back and forth. From my internal organs to the surface of my skin, there was no inch that was not immune to suffering. At that time, I didn’t even have the strength to commit suicide. It tortured me to death. So partridge I really don’t want to try the role of Whistle a second time.

"It's like this again and again, but it's just from different angles, replaying the familiar plot over and over again. Do you know what this feels like? It's like playing a real-life open-world meat pigeon I have played the game countless times...

"Tsk, tsk, I'm confused. Look at your expression. I guess you don't even know a few words of this sentence. Let's put it this way, it's like that martial arts novel about the Condor Shooting. You read it from Guo Jing's perspective. Once again, read it again from Huang Rong's perspective, and then read it again from Hong Qigong's perspective. You can read all the autobiographies of the characters in the story, but the story is still the same story, and there is no twist..."

When Xiao Ran heard this, he thought of a word, and he couldn't help but say: "Although it is repeated...but isn't it...immortality?"

"Immortality?! Haha! What do you call this, immortality?!"

The second uncle looked at Xiao Ran as if he were a fool, widened his eyes and said: "Do you know the endless hell? The body is endless, the time is endless, the form is endless, and the life is endless, so suffering is endless. I don't live in linear infinite time and keep moving forward. , but is trapped in a cycle, going back and forth. Endless repetition, endless game world, what is the difference between this and endless hell?
"No one knows about my real past, no one understands, and no one can tell. I can only keep pretending to be others. Over time, I almost forget what I am. You know how I am? How many times has it been repeated? Thousands of times, thousands of times! From the third thousandth time, I am too lazy to count anymore.

"I don't know if you still remember, but when you were little, you always saw me humming songs by myself, and you asked me what I was humming? That song was called "Infernal Affairs", and the lyrics were about me..."

At this point, tears welled up in the second uncle's eyes again.As if he was accompanying himself, he immediately sang a few lyrics from Xiao Ran's childhood memories.

"Who can change, the length of life, who knows how painful eternity is... If you can't reach the end, go back to the starting point and enjoy the endless road..."

The second uncle's voice is hoarse and definitely not melodious, but every word is true and his singing is sad and pathos, like an old lone wolf who has lost his way.

When the second uncle sang to the end, he started to cry slightly.Xiao Ran suppressed the empathy in his heart that could not be ignored, and asked carefully: "But what you did...what does it mean to me...?" When the second uncle heard his question, he became nervous. She wiped away her tears and looked at him with wide eyes, as if nothing happened just now.

"What's the meaning?! That's right! Now that I've told you the background of the story, it's time to get to the point. I told you before that something will happen every time you travel through time, and I have to tell you about it later, remember?

"After that whirlpool of changing color of heaven and earth occurs, Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Pan Jiayuan will all disappear, but I will come to this place, kneel in front of this stone dial, and watch it endlessly The ground is turning. At this time, someone will appear and throw me from here.

"I will keep falling, like a rocket entering the atmosphere, feeling my bones and flesh being torn to pieces, feeling burned to the last dregs.

"After that, I will find myself standing here suddenly again, remembering that just now, it was me who personally threw myself off the cliff in the previous reincarnation, and then lost all consciousness again, so that I could be reborn in a new reincarnation.

"Do you think rebirth means closing and opening your eyes, as comfortable as sleeping? Wrong! This is sacrificing your body, enduring the punishment of burning your body and bones forever, and tasting the pain of reincarnation and hell! I have no choice, I can only do it once For the first time, I complete the cycle of this excruciating pain, and then live a life of predicting the outcome in advance in the so-called rebirth. Do you think this is hell! Do I want to resist?!

"Of course I have to resist... I have to resist. So after so many reincarnations, I finally discovered the key. This broken sundial is the controller of this world, the end of time, and the extreme of emptiness! Every time I Kneeling here, he will suddenly change from forward to reverse rotation. So as long as I destroy it, I can escape the pain of cycle rebirth, and I can rely on my understanding of the future and my ability after time travel to survive until the end.

"Not only did I think so, I also did it. When I was reborn this time, I seized the opportunity to get up and threw the guy who was about to throw me down first. Then I randomly destroyed the broken dial and took a few things. I'm sure The important things ran away based on instinct. The blood-breaking lichen was cut off from Tongtian Taisui's body when I left here.

"But after I went out, the spinning feeling came back. I thought I had failed and I was going to come back here again. But when I woke up, I found myself lying in the ice and snow, almost freezing to death. Wait Several woodcutters rescued me, and then my mind slowly began to understand who this reincarnation was.

"I am Xiao Changkong, the youngest son of the Xiao family who was kidnapped since childhood, the younger brother of Xiao Changfeng, and the future second uncle of Xiao Ran. Hahaha, ridiculous! Do you know that although I have played many other people, this world has given me My position is Xiao Ran. In almost ten thousand cycles, as long as I don't become Xiao Ran, Xiao Changfeng and...my mother will have no children for life. But this time, another Xiao Ran appears, which shows that I succeeded!"

Xiao Ran frowned slightly. After his memory recovered, he didn't want to hear the person in front of him mention his mother.He interrupted: "It's successful...congratulations...then why are you doing all this..."

The second uncle ignored Xiao Ran's teasing and snorted coldly: "Success? Success is a piece of shit! It didn't take long for me to find something was wrong. Although I lose some memories every time I am reborn, I lost more this time. I can't remember many details from the past.

"Also, I can't hear Gu Gu speak anymore. I start to get sick and injured frequently, and my recovery speed is that of an ordinary person. In addition to these, I also start to get older... Haha..."

"Isn't this... what you want... no need to be reborn..." Xiao Ran mocked.

"What the hell! What I want is not to really be a supporting role, but to be a vigorous protagonist! With superpowers, knowing the future, and immortality! I returned to the Xiao family and saw you exactly like me when I was a child, so I I know that I have been tricked, tricked by this broken stone dial, and tricked by this world!

"No, I abandoned it! When I came back this time, in addition to my own changes, the world also had many strange changes. It seemed that it suddenly had life and its own memory, and began to develop not according to the storyline I was familiar with. Many things have gone awry just like your appearance, and many people also have partial memories of the previous reincarnation. Just like your demented father, he can actually see that I am the Xiao Ran from before!

"I figured it out later. I destroyed this stone dial, and the stone dial was also punishing me. This world is like a computer, collecting data from my nearly ten thousand rebirths, and then creating a copy of you. Replace me and create a new Xiao Ran and a new world. And I will die of old age and illness like those NPCs. If you are reborn, maybe next time I, the second uncle, will be like when I played Xiao Ran thousands of times before. That way, it doesn’t exist at all!

"Old nephew, I know you don't understand many words because I haven't taught you, but you must know what I mean, right? I am the one who traveled from the outside, even if I will always succumb to the end of the story time, but before that end, it should be me who has the golden finger, it should be me who enjoys this boring world, it should be me who gets the admiration of thousands of people, it should be me who owns these magical treasures, not you, a fake !

"I want to take back what belongs to me, and I want to make this broken stone dial and the world follow my ideas. You must understand, right? My eldest nephew..."

The second uncle's eyes flashed with madness, and he walked towards Xiao Ran step by step.
