Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 770 The group returns!

The eerie scene in the water, enough to terrify the neighbor's child, vanished instantly with Hu Ming's strike.

The young man swam to the surface, his expression seemingly... as if he hadn't had enough and perhaps a little regretful?
Um?
Hu Ming looked at the young man in astonishment.

Having known this guy for so many years, even now that he has regained all his memories, I have never seen him have such an obvious change in expression.

Most of the time, this guy probably has an icy, expressionless face, right?

The young man seemed to understand that his changes were puzzling Hu Ming, so he made hand gestures in the water that only a select few knew, and explained simply—

It's a bit of a regret that I didn't personally kill Zhang Qishan... Hu Ming, you were too fast.

Is this too fast?
Hu Ming's lips twitched violently. He had a feeling that the guy was subtly criticizing him, but upon closer inspection, the guy wasn't that kind of person. He was probably just overthinking things.

It is worth mentioning that after the "spirit" was extinguished and the Qiongqi disappeared, the Buddha's corpse underwent some new changes.

The once lifelike corpse rapidly decomposed under the astonished gazes of the three. Within a few breaths, the flesh and blood turned into disgusting, fibrous matter and were blown away by the water, leaving only the complete skeleton in military uniform slowly sinking to the ground. They had seen similar things many times before in the tomb.

However, those were all done by isolating the coffin from the air. Thousands of years later, when the coffin was opened and the air was exposed, the oxidation reaction that had taken thousands of years was completed in an instant.

But this is in the water. Although there is some dissolved oxygen in the water, it is ultimately unrealistic to support the instantaneous oxidation reaction of a corpse.

This strange situation was something the three of them had never seen before, so they were inevitably a little surprised.

With one hand grasping the Buddha's skeleton, Hu Ming swam towards the coffin; it was about time to clean up the traces.

However, the young man reached out and stopped Hu Ming, gesturing for him to wait a moment.

The young man moved his legs and, to the bewilderment of Hu Ming and Wu Erbai, plunged into... Buddha's coffin.

Hu Ming and Wu Erbai looked at each other, both seeing the real question in each other's eyes, unable to understand what the young man was doing.

Not content with killing the Buddha, do they also want to take away his burial goods?
This isn't like the guy at all, is it?
Before long, the young man swam out of the dark, blood-streaked coffin.

Hu Ming keenly caught the fleeting look of doubt and sigh in the young man's eyes.

However, the current environment was not suitable for communication, so Hu Ming didn't think much of it. After asking the young man for his opinion, he roughly threw the Buddha's remains inside.

He picked up the dismantled coffin board that was floating to the side, put it back in its original position, and then a thick syringe appeared out of thin air in his hand, containing a special glue!
Hu Ming pressed the coffin lid back into place as much as possible, so that at first glance no trace could be found. He aimed the syringe at the knife mark and slowly pushed out the special glue!
The translucent, misty gel was pushed out, and even under the scouring of water, it showed no sign of spreading.

In Hu Ming's view, the misty gel quickly seeped into the knife mark, and after ten seconds, there was no trace left.

When I let go, the coffin lid didn't budge an inch.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Ming controlled his strength and gently punched the spot.

thump.

A muffled groan came from behind, but the coffin lid did not budge an inch.

Compared to the perfectly intact coffin lid, the only difference is that the paint texture on the surface damaged by the blade is faintly visible; otherwise, there is no difference at all!
Hu Ming is not worried about this small mark.

The people of Warehouse Eleven deeply revered the Buddha. In the past, those who came here to transport goods would always worship from afar, never daring to be so bold as to come closer for a closer look. This subtle trace would almost never be discovered.

As for the people above, they probably already knew what Hu Ming and Wu Erbai were doing from Bai Haotian by now. The fact that they couldn't hear Bai Haotian's voice through the underwater earpieces in their ears said it all.

This is the default behavior.

After all, their interests align; if the Buddha were to truly live a second life, it would benefit no one…

Having done all this, the three turned their gaze to Yin Xinyue's coffin...

There's a hidden secret in Buddha's coffin, so it doesn't make sense that Yin Xinyue's coffin was just an ordinary burial place for her body.

Similarly, now that Buddha has been dealt with, then for Yin Xinyue... good things come in pairs!
After everything was done, Hu Ming and his two companions returned the way they came.

It's worth mentioning that ever since he explored the Buddha's coffin, the young man has had a faint sense of regret in his eyes.

wow~
The three of them popped their heads out of the water, braced themselves on the wooden dock, wiped the water droplets off their faces, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Humans are not aquatic creatures after all, and spending a long time underwater will inevitably lead to some feelings of depression.

The three of them looked up...

"Second Master, you're back?"

Bai Haotian, who was sitting bored on the dock, suddenly brightened up and enthusiastically reached out to grab Hu Ming.

only…

"You seem quite familiar with this, isn't this your first time?"

Hu Ming, his face darkening, pointed at Bai Haotian's still-floating white feet in the water and said expressionlessly.

"Yeah, life in the Eleventh Warehouse is so boring. When I have nothing to do, I like to soak my feet here to relax."

Bai Haotian hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, and said somewhat innocently.

"In other words, the three of us have been in the water for so long, basically just soaking in your foot bath water? And we've been soaking in it at close range, within a meter?"

Wu Erbai grinned, revealing a slightly ferocious smile!

He was already considering whether to put pressure on the Bai family and teach this young man a lesson.

Even though the underground water veins here are flowing water, and there's no water for washing feet, I still feel really uncomfortable!
To be honest, if this girl were a burly man, Hu Ming would probably have already twisted her head off and stuffed it into his penis by now.

Even if it were Durant, he'd only be interested in Scarlett Johansson's bathwater, right?
"ah!"

Bai Haotian then realized what was happening, let out an embarrassed whisper, and quickly stood up.

"Didn't I tell you to keep watch? Why are you in here?"

With a sigh, Hu Ming went ashore, took off his heavy gear, and wiped his face with a clean towel handed to him by Bai Haotian.
