Chapter 007: The Female Protagonist

Wang Bo knew what she was about to say and interrupted, "I understand, you don't know me, which is quite understandable, after all, we have never met before"

Laura couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "You know me"

"So, I have really arrived in Cairo in 1926," Laura, who has accepted reality, asked.

Wang Bo clapped his hands and said: "That makes it easier to discuss. In my original world, there is a game called 'Tomb Raider', and the female protagonist of the game is you, Lara Croft"

"You and I do not come from the same world," Wang Bo said. "To be precise, we come from two entirely different worlds and then crossed over to the same world."

I have played some

Or rather, this is another Laura from a parallel world

"How did you travel through?" Laura asked proactively, seemingly wanting to grasp the details and then explore the reasons behind it, hoping to uncover some clues.

Do you know why I came to this kind of place

"What does it mean?" Laura asked unhappily

Yes

"Cairo?" Laura was taken aback, "Are you referring to Cairo in Egypt?"

However, before they could reach the small island, the expedition plan was completely disrupted by a violent storm. The Perseverance was split in two, and the unprepared Laura was thrown into the pitch-black sea

Yes, I am as well

This version of Lara is not the same character as the classic Lara from the first eight installments of Tomb Raider, and there is no connection between the two.

"Yes, I know you," Wang Bo nodded affirmatively.

Yamatai Kingdom

Laura : ... ...

I apologize

However, in consideration of Laura's fragile emotional state at that moment, Wang Bo did not act rashly

This is quite normal, as this is Cairo in 1926

I think you must have traveled through time

Laura : ... ...

However, a bug has now appeared in the plot

Laura looked bewildered, and it took her a while to react. In disbelief, she thought of looking at Wang Bo, "You said you know me. If we are not from the same world, how could you possibly know me"

Moreover, she is still a novice Laura

What?

"No, no, no, there is no need for your apology, as it is quite normal for you not to know me. If you did know me, that would be truly unfortunate," Wang Bo said with a smile.

Fake! Wang Bo spoke decisively

Have you ever played role-playing games?" Wang Bo asked

Crossing over

Wang Bo said: "I am not very clear about the specific situation; I crossed over while I was asleep. When I was sleeping, I was still in my own home, but when I woke up, I found myself in this dreadful place"

I see. Laura seemed to be deep in thought

Laura did not conceal, "I am somewhat like you. Before the crossing, my companions and I were sailing on the sea, but our luck was very poor. We encountered a storm at sea, and then our ship broke apart. I fell into the water and lost consciousness. However, when I woke up, I found myself here."

We

It is indeed incredible, but the fact is that if one does not experience it personally, probably no one would believe it. Wang Bo remarked with a sense of wonder that if he had not experienced it himself, he would not have believed that time travel is actually real

Laura couldn't help but open her mouth wide, momentarily at a loss for words. She opened her mouth several times, yet no sound came out. She was completely stunned.

Laura curled up, holding her legs, without saying a word

Really? Laura's eyes lit up

Every word and action of his has already been meticulously planned by others

Wang Bo said earnestly: "Avoidance is futile, Miss Laura. I believe you have noticed this to some extent, haven't you? After all, the traces here are so evident."

"Um, I believe you may have misunderstood something, Miss Laura Crowfoot"

Laura was not swept away to Yamatai; instead, she found herself in the world of mummies

"Are you joking, right?" Laura had a moment where she almost believed it, but she quickly realized how could she possibly be in Cairo in 1926, it simply defied logic

It was probably because the facts were too shocking, followed by a silence that lasted for half an hour

Yes, you and I are partners from the same world, and I believe we should help each other.

Wang Bo, upon hearing this, was almost certain that the other party was the new version of Lara Croft from "Tomb Raider 9"

"What about you? You know me, so that means you have also come from another time." Laura looked at Wang Bo, her gaze becoming somewhat more intimate, perhaps a reflection of a shared sense of being lost in the world.

Laura was momentarily at a loss for what kind of expression to wear in front of this person. She decided to change the subject and asked the question that concerned her the most, "Do you know where this place is?"

Yes, Laura nodded

I know, this is Cairo," Wang Bo replied truthfully

Yes, I am indeed joking with you

No, you must be joking with me" Laura shook her head, refusing to believe.

At this moment, Laura spoke up and said, "What should we do now?"

After a considerable amount of time, Laura finally calmed down and repeated the question once more, "You are joking, aren't you?"

After a few minutes, Laura finally calmed down. The two of them sat on a step, separated by a distance of no more than seven or eight meters. This distance could be crossed by Wang Bo in less than a second.

Wang Bo sighed; he could understand Laura's situation. If one day he were to be told that he was actually a character in a game or a character in a novel.

"It is unfortunate, Miss Laura Clough, that I am stating the facts," Wang Bo said with a serious expression.

Wang Bo : ... ...

After hearing this, Laura couldn't help but widen her eyes, "This is simply unbelievable"

"High-rise buildings?" Wang Bo inquired

Yes, I know you, Laura Croft, the protagonist of Tomb Raider 9

Yes, I also find it absurd. I never imagined that one day I would find myself in distress alongside the female protagonist of a game, and in Cairo in 1926 no less

However, Wang Bo also believes that he will eventually emerge from this. Miss Laura Crowfoot will also find her way out.

This is indeed ... ...

Wang Bo nodded and explained the meaning of the term "crossing over".

Laura : ... ...

Yes

In the new version of the story, Laura Croft is not a battle-hardened female adventurer, but rather a novice young girl. In order to prove herself, she embarks on a journey aboard the ship Endurance with her friend Sam, in search of the legendary ancient kingdom

However, this is truly absurd

Wang Bo estimated that he would likely become withdrawn as well

But I ... ...

Wang Bo shook his head, momentarily at a loss for words

According to the plot, Laura should have been carried by the waves to Yamatai.

Wang Bo asked, "What about you? How did you traverse?"

Seeing Wang Bo nod, Laura's face displayed an expression of disbelief, "But as far as I know, Cairo doesn't seem to be like this, there is no ... ... "
