The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 106: Beauty Exchanged for Brains

He Su’s state was indeed somewhat abnormal. The moment I saw her face, many memories became vivid and three-dimensional.

These memories were completely different from the information found when searching only by name; they were lively and as fresh as if they had occurred just yesterday.

"Hmph! I’ve been waiting for you for so, so long... I’ve gone through lots of hardships." He Su made a motion that sent chills down my spine, wiping away tears with her small fists, just like the legendary ’crybaby’.

What exactly did Bi Shi do to her? How did she become like this?

Does gaining something mean losing something else? Her appearance was restored, but did her mind suffer?

He Su’s personality was quite the opposite of her ’sultry’ appearance. She’s a rather violent individual, always looking for a fight, as evidenced by how she challenged the Elder Council, killing several elders overnight.

She’s the kind of person who likes to speak with her fists, a ’tough guy’ who would shed blood and sweat but never tears.

So seeing her cry and fall into my arms was akin to witnessing a macho man weep online, which made my hair stand on end.

"I... ahem, just woke up." I decided to wait and see what was happening with her.

"Did they mistreat you? Are you injured anywhere?" He Su said, using both hands to examine me, to which I quickly grabbed her claws.

Her demeanor and lines were reminiscent of the early idol drama female leads: tearful, gentle, and weak.

"No, I’m fine." I decisively shook my head and pushed her hand away.

He Su’s situation was like a battle robot being implanted with a soft girl program; before I could invite her, she squeezed into the room and even smiled politely at Chen Qinghan when she saw her.

In the past, she would have glared over immediately and questioned who this person was and what relationship they had with me.

She never knew how to disguise. Such strange behavior must have been manipulated by Bi Shi.

Amazingly, I could peacefully converse with her if I overlooked her affectionate eyes.

Chen Qinghan gave me a look indicating that it was a good opportunity to gather information.

"Have you been okay in prison over these years?" He Su sat with tearful eyes on the living room sofa, taking out a small handkerchief and shaking it.

"Cough... it’s been alright. How about you? Any plans for the future?"

"Ah, what plans could I have? Of course, it’s to wait for you to come out, and then—" As He Su spoke, her body suddenly slouched to the side and fell onto the sofa.

"What’s the situation?" I walked over and looked down at her, discovering she had fallen asleep.

Just then, someone came knocking on the door. I didn’t have to ask to know who it was. When I opened it, sure enough, outside stood Bi Shi with a strange smile.

"Asleep already?" She entered with her back to us, like inspecting as a leader.

"Why did you give her your ability? How did she just suddenly fall asleep?"

"Maintaining appearance consumes a lot of energy. So, for her, she’s awake for only about ten minutes a day."

"What’s up with her condition, then? Did she take the wrong medicine, or is your energy poisonous?"

"My ability can mimic and mold into anything."

"If I knew it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have let you discover the fun of mobile phones."

"I’ve been enjoying watching Yaoyao dramas lately, starting from the beginning. Isn’t she better like this, rather than chasing after you wielding a big stick?"

"Forget it; in any case, I’ve decided not to meddle in your matters. She can be whatever she wants to be."

"Hey, you’re really not dealing with your tribe’s matters anymore?"

"Not handling it. What does it have to do with me? I’m just a released convict planning to spend a few peaceful days."

"Alright then, as you wish."

Though Bi Shi said it, her expression clearly suggested ’You’ll definitely regret it.’

I felt that even if they caused a scene, it wouldn’t be something earth-shattering; hence, I really didn’t want to get involved in their matters.

However, since I promised to help with Chen Qinghan’s sister’s matter, I must ensure I fulfill it.

"If you decide to leave the tribe, then there’s nothing for you to worry about. He Su can’t trouble you now; I’ll take over everything about her and bypass her."

"What’s your plan?"

"That’s no longer your concern."

Bi Shi walked over to the sofa, picked up the sleeping He Su, and carried her out the door.

Once they left, I quickly asked Chen Qinghan, "Is the capture plan still being executed?"

Now that He Su no longer needed to consume herself, Qi Xiuyuan’s people wouldn’t be able to capture her ’criminal’ evidence.

"I’ll inform the higher-ups to adjust the plan." As soon as Chen Qinghan finished speaking, the room suddenly shook violently.

No, it should be the entire ship that shook, and both Chen Qinghan and I were caught off guard, tumbling onto the floor.

The ship’s alarm sounded, and the captain’s voice came through the broadcast, saying a fog had appeared on the sea; something had hit the bottom of the ship, requiring maintenance time, asking passengers not to panic, assuring them they would handle it promptly.

The oil tanker was sailing in a vast sea, and being deep in it meant it couldn’t have hit a reef. Plus, if a massive tanker could stop from hitting something, it wouldn’t be a small object.

The captain mentioned fog again. I quickly ran to the window, having been busy all night without noticing the sea’s condition.

Indeed, as the captain said, the sea fog was heavy, rendering the path completely invisible, susceptible to crashing into an iceberg.

For safety’s sake, the tanker stopped to dispatch people for inspection.

At this hour, the visitors hadn’t retired to bed yet. The nightlife aboard the cruise had barely begun, allowing them to stay up all night, only returning to their rooms in the morning to sleep.

So all the visitors ran to the deck to watch, and after finishing the call with his boss, Chen Qinghan also headed to the window to look.

The room was knocked on for the third time. I ran over to open the door, and the person standing outside took me by surprise.

"Hello, Miss Leng. Xiuyuan is worried about you all, so asked me to come by and check if you sustained any injuries after the ship suddenly collided with something moments ago?" the elite man outside asked with concern.

"No, we’re fine." I stood at the door without any intention of letting him in.

"Tonight might not be peaceful, so why don’t you come to our room, so we can all look out for each other together?"

"If you’re scared, just come over. I don’t fear anything." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Miss Leng, why must every word be prickly? Xiuyuan genuinely means well; she’s Mr. Chen’s senior, and showing some more concern may have upset Miss Leng. It’ll be noted in the future. As we are all one family, harmony is key."

"I’m family with Chen, not her. Goodbye and take care." With that, I closed the door, not giving him a chance to reply.

But as soon as the door closed, the lights in the room suddenly went out, not only in our room, but the lights outside the window also went dark, plunging the entire ship into darkness.

There were exclamations in the corridor, and people on the deck outside were discussing. Without electricity, the captain couldn’t communicate via the loudspeaker, so the ship’s staff used megaphones to inform passengers that this was normal and power had to be cut for inspections of various lines.
