Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Xie Yuchen and Black Glasses were lying on the platform, panting, exhausted.

"Huaerye, I owe you a favor, I'll give you a discount next time." I have to say that Black Glasses is really stingy, even saving my life can be discounted.

"No need, you saved me too, so don't say those useless nonsense." Xie Yuchen didn't appreciate it at all.

After resting for a while, the two of them reluctantly sat up and looked at the place where they had just run up. All the stairs there had disappeared, leaving only a huge steep slope, and there was a bottomless abyss below.

"It's too steep here, we can't climb down at all, we are trapped here." Black Glasses sat on the ground, shone the flashlight down a few times, and came to a conclusion.

"There should be other ways out, or there should be a mechanism to restore these steps. Otherwise, how did Wu Sansheng and the others get here?" Xie Yuchen guessed.

"Yes! Let's look for it again." Black Glasses agreed.

As soon as they said it, they stood up and began to check the situation on the platform. It was also at this time that they had time to pay attention to the things on the platform.

There was a stone chair in the middle of the small stone platform, and the back of the chair seemed to be full of snake heads. They were inlaid on the back of the chair like a fan, and they were densely packed. There were also similar snake heads on the armrests.

Black Glasses was checking the chair, stroking the eyes of the snake heads to see if there were any mechanisms.

"Huaerye, do you think this chair has any mechanisms? Do you want to sit on it and try it?" Black Glasses thought, putting a chair here for no reason, would there be any other hints?

"Sure, go and try it!" Xie Yuchen just looked back and said indifferently.

"Let's not do it! It's so scary to look at it, and it feels like being surrounded by snakes when you sit on it." Black Glasses shook his head and rejected his proposal.

Xie Yuchen shrugged and said nothing. Instead, he continued to check the stone wall behind the stool, where there were some patterns.

He guessed that there might be a stone door here, and as long as they found the mechanism to open it, they could leave here.

The two searched around on this small stone platform, but did not find any mechanism or clues. Xie Yuchen could not help complaining:

"What on earth is this old guy Wu Sanxing doing? He didn't give any clues when he was needed at the critical moment."

"Okay, don't worry, as the saying goes, make the best of it. We have been tossing for most of the day, so let's take a break!" Black Glasses said a few words of comfort and walked to the edge of the cliff just now.

"Don't mention it, it's really a different view from here." Black Glasses stood beside the cliff and looked down in the direction of the stairs before.

It was like a road was split on the entire mountain wall. There were several oil lamps every few meters on both sides of the mountain wall, and the lights extended all the way down. In this dark space, the scenery here felt unique.

However, no one answered him, nor did anyone appreciate it with him.

Black Glasses turned around and saw that Xie Yuchen had already sat on the stone chair with his eyes closed to rest. Therefore, Black Glasses did not disturb him again.

He also found a place in front of the stone chair. Black Glasses threw his backpack at his feet in front of the stone chair, just enough to lean on and rest.

However, he was stunned as soon as he sat down. The reason was nothing else, just because he happened to sit on the activated mechanism.

Although he didn't know what the mechanism was and what danger it was. But as long as he stood up, the mechanism would be triggered immediately.

Turning his head to look at Xie Yuchen who was sleeping, Black Glasses pondered for a while, didn't say anything, and simply lay down directly.

I don't know how long he slept, Xie Yuchen slowly opened his eyes, looking at Black Glasses who was leaning not far from him, I don't know what he was thinking. Black Glasses was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and I don't know if he was asleep.

"What are you thinking about?" Black Glasses suddenly spoke.

Xie Yuchen didn't answer, but walked to the front of the cliff and looked at the previous stairs.

"There is no fork in the whole palace. We walked here on one road, and it was a straight drive."

"Moreover, there is nothing here except one mechanism after another. This is definitely not normal. Besides, the Queen Mother of the West's elixir is coveted by thousands of people, and her palace will never let people enter easily."

The man with black glasses answered the question irrelevantly: "Have you ever caught sparrows when you were a child? Just use a small wooden stick to support a basket, sprinkle rice in it, lure the sparrows in to eat the rice, and then they are caught by the basket."

"This entire palace is the basket of the Queen Mother of the West's palace. You and I, or the people who come in, are the little sparrows."

"That's right, this underground palace should be just a decoy, not the real Queen Mother of the West's palace. It seems that it is not a simple matter to understand the secrets of the Queen Mother of the West."

Xie Yuchen had to admire the wisdom and wealth of the Queen Mother of the West. The underground palace used to confuse people can be so huge.

"Let's leave here first!" Xie Yuchen said, and walked back to where he had just sat to pick up his backpack and weapons.

But the man with black glasses was still sitting there as usual, not moving at all: "There is nothing here, the Queen Mother of the West wants to starve us to death and die of thirst here."

"Then why are you still sitting there? Get up and find a way!" Xie Yuchen looked at the man with black glasses still sitting there, a little impatient.

"It's not that I don't remember, but I seem to have done something, maybe it's a mechanism." Black Glasses could only tell the truth. After all, he had been maintaining the same posture since last night, and he was quite tired.

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen walked quickly to the black glasses: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I saw that you were sleeping so soundly! I couldn't bear to disturb you." Black Glasses said pitifully.

"Then do I still have to thank you?" Xie Yuchen was helpless, who asked you to be so considerate? You should take the blame yourself!

"You're welcome, Mr. Hua'er." Black Glasses didn't seem to understand Xie Yuchen's sarcastic remarks.

Jie Yuchen sighed, feeling a little moved in his heart.

"But if you're ready, I'll get up." Black Glasses looked at Xie Yuchen and asked what he meant.

Jie Yuchen didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand towards the black glasses.

Looking at Jie Yuchen's outstretched hand, Black Glasses took a deep breath, directly raised his hand to put it on, and stood up with help.

After standing up, the two people faced each other, very close to each other, and they looked at each other affectionately again.

Sudden!

Something dripped on the top of his head and fell on the black sunglasses.

"Hey, is it raining? No, it won't get wet here even if it rains!"

Black Glasses subconsciously touched it with his hand, then put it to his nose and smelled: "Kerosene?"

"First the circuit was broken, then the oil was dripped, and finally it was set on fire, right?" Needless to say, the black glasses could guess the subsequent process. It seemed that they had entered a dead end.
