Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 409 Origin
As night approached, I thought of the mute who was still in the hospital, so I bought some fruits and brought them over to see him.

The mute was seriously injured this time, almost equivalent to saving his life before the gate of hell. The doctors said that it was a miracle that he could be saved.But the mute himself didn't seem to care about this miracle. I saw him several times. At first he was in a coma, and later he was weak and needed rest. Therefore, I didn't ask many questions.When I went to see him this time, the mute had already recovered more than half, and the doctor said that he could be discharged after a few more days of observation.

This is a VIP single-room ward with home furnishings. I remember it was quite expensive, but the money was paid by the mute himself, and it has nothing to do with me.To my surprise, he was sitting next to the tea table, on which there were some scattered papers and pencils. In addition, the mute was holding something that surprised me, which was a tablet computer.

He seemed to be in contact with someone through this computer. When he saw me coming in, he gave me a cold look, randomly placed the tablet on the coffee table, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for me to come over.Even if he just came back from the death line, this person still does not change his arrogant nature, but I can detect that the atmosphere between us is not so tense, maybe it is the accumulation of this period of time, or maybe I am used to being dumb On the contrary, I feel that it is not as unbearable as before.

I observed his complexion, and he recovered very well. Then, my eyes fell on the paper and tablet computer on the coffee table.The tablet has been closed by him, and nothing can be seen, but on the few pieces of paper, it can be seen that it looks like a structural diagram of a building.

Inverted and archaeologists are generally good at drawing. This is a basic skill, which is needed for recording terrain and analyzing the structure of ancient tombs.Therefore, the structural diagrams on these few sheets of paper are very neatly drawn, without any trace of modification. At a glance, it looks like it was printed on paper.

I didn't say anything, I picked up the paper and looked at it carefully one by one. I found that these pictures were very strange. They were not a complete architectural picture, but instead seemed to be drawn from a certain point of a certain building.Next to these patterns, some fonts were also noted. I found that it was in Japanese, and it should have been written by the mute.

I felt a little ironic, raised the paper in my hand, and said, "Mr. Wu, are you really from Fusang?" I can be sure that Wu Shui must have a close relationship with our Chen family, and he is a genuine Chinese. .But a Chinese, when writing, will choose to use Japanese for the first time. When using language, I feel very uncomfortable, especially when this person looks exactly like Chen Ci.

The mute obviously heard my sarcasm, but he didn't express it. He leaned lazily on the sofa and said coldly, "Say something quickly."

I said: "You should be very clear about the reason why I came here. It's been so long, shouldn't it be time for me to give me an answer?"

The mute was silent for a while. Strictly speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing. When I almost thought he was asleep, he opened his mouth slowly and said lightly, "You want to know my real identity, right?" Immediately afterwards, he picked up the few pieces of paper on the table, stared at the pattern on the paper with dark eyes, and said coldly: "I have been in Fusang, but I know that I am not from Fusang."

I felt that what he said was a bit out of date, but it was not easy to pry the dumb's mouth, so I didn't dare to interrupt, but listened in silence.Then, in the mute's narration, I heard an unbelievable event.

According to the description of the mute, he was rescued from the sea by a Fusang fleet. At that time, the mute was wearing a diving suit and his ID was Wu Shui.But it was strange, after checking the identity card, the mute found that it was an ID card of an impostor, that is to say, there was someone like Wu Shui in the world, but it was not the mute, and this ID card was fake.

Of course, that was later.

The mute was rescued by a ship of an ocean-going fishing company in Fusang. In addition to its own fishing, this company also does other work, such as underwater archaeology and so on.When the mute wakes up for a period of time, he is in a state where his brain is traumatized, he can't recall anything, and he even loses his language ability.During that time, he learned the language and culture there.

As time goes by, many memories will slowly appear in the mute's mind.

Some patterns, some dark tunnels, some inexplicable knowledge...

This is a sign of memory recovery, but all the time, the dumb can't recall his true identity.At that time, when the mute was salvaged ashore, the salvage bag on the diving suit contained the "gray goods" on the seabed, that is, antiques in the sea.

In addition to the natural treasures under the sea, there are also countless wealth left over from the birth of human marine civilization.The sunken merchant ship and the antiques in the ship have attracted countless salvagers.According to these clues, the dumb thought he was a sea salvager, so he started to take on the side job of sea salvage, in order to inquire about his own life experience.

But soon, more and more memories emerged, a large part of which was knowledge about Daodou and some archaeological knowledge. Only then did the mute know that he might be an archaeological team member or a tomb robber in China .

However, why did a Chinese tomb robber almost die in the sea in the end?

Why don't you have a companion?
Why didn't he leave any identity clues on him?
With these doubts in mind, the mute began to fight intentionally or unintentionally. In the process, he came into contact with Jizi's company.At that time, the mute already had a certain prestige, so entrusted by Ben Yi, there was a delegation from Xu Fu's tomb.

At that time, the two groups of us met unexpectedly. According to the dumb practice, the one who stands in my way always dies, but when the dumb saw me, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling, and something seemed to come out of his mind. Come, and just when he heard someone calling my name, the word Chen Xuan was like a big lock in an instant, causing a very strange memory to pop up in his mind.

He saw a man who looked exactly like himself.

Later, during my conversation with Professor Lin, the mute knew that Chen Ci was the person, and that he and the Chen Ci were exactly the same in appearance, so he immediately knew that Chen Ci was the key to solving the mystery.But the mute clearly realized that he was definitely not Chen Ci, because his incomplete memory told him that he and Chen Ci were two people, and... the relationship between the two should not be very good.

For this reason, in Xu Fu's tomb, although the dumb group had an overwhelming advantage, they chose to let us go.

At that time, in fact, he didn't completely let us go. Among them, Duan Fei was another key figure. She had close ties with Ben Yi's company. Therefore, as an ally with Dumb, Duan Fei has been working on behalf of Dumb in China. Collect information in this regard, until finally, the mute decided to go back to China to clarify things.

After listening to it, I found it extremely weird. According to the mute, he really has nothing to do with the statement. Even if the statement is alive, he is still in his 50s. It really doesn’t make sense to insist that they are the same person. .But how can there be two identical people in this world?

And the mute also said that his memory told him that he and Chen Ci should know each other?
So what is dumb?An accidental, brain-damaged monster with perpetual youth?
When I think of the word "permanent youth", I can't help but think of the seven magic lamps of the ghost king, and I naturally think of Puzhen and tofu, and I feel extremely depressed for a while.

Dumb's words seem reasonable, but there are many loopholes.For example, the photo he gave Lu Su to see at that time, and how he knew about Chen Ci's death and the map in Chen Ci's hand, these are all very crucial questions.I asked these questions to the mute, but he just gave me a cold look, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, sarcastically saying: "I have my own way, even if I tell you, scum like you can't do it."

I was so angry with his words that my blood rushed to my forehead, but this person's silence is enough, and I have already experienced the blockbuster poisonous tongue ability, and I know that I can't say anything about him in this regard. Seeing that he has nothing to say Thinking about it, I knew that this kid might be hiding a lot of things, so I couldn't help but sneered and said, "In that case, how do you explain what you said to Jizi?"

The mute seemed to have thought of something, and gave a faint oh, and looked at me with dark eyes, with a haughty and indifferent look, with a faint look of impatience and disgust in his eyes, and said lightly: "Dear one? I don't deny that there is a big possibility. But... so what?"

When he said this, his indifferent expression seemed to be saying: Even if we are really related, so what?Even if I'm really making a statement, you're just a piece of dust that won't even leave a shadow in my eyes.

I sneered and said, "It's best for you to think this way. To tell you the truth, if possible, I really hope you can disappear immediately. In my eyes...you are nothing."

The mute squinted his eyes, showing a smile that was not a smile, as if he saw through me. He seldom smiles, but it is definitely not a good thing to laugh.That kind of look, as if looking at a clown, makes people very angry.Immediately afterwards, he asked back: "Then what are you still doing here?"

I took a deep breath to calm my boiling emotions, and after a while, I calmly said: "This matter is not over yet, I know what you want to do next, I warn you, if something comes at me, don't Attack those around me."
