The sky was faintly bright, and You Yu had already embarked on a journey to visit the archaeological team leader.
The address is located in the suburbs, on the edge of a small village in a very remote location. The intelligence said that the archaeological team leader named Keita Koizumi did not live there. He is a native of the city, and has lived in mechanized and urbanized areas since childhood.
But it was only after the excavation of an unknown object that he made a special trip to the countryside, and specially selected such a remote place to live on the edge of the village, almost isolated from the rest of the world.
This location is really hard to find. There are no signposts and no signposts. The road leading to the residence of Mr. Keita Koizumi is all mountains that look the same.
Sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, You Yu looked through the window of the car window and looked at the unobservable blue river sparkling in the sun, looked at the lush dense jungle along the coast, the mysterious and silent mountains, and felt every picture The pictures all seem to have been slightly modified on the basis of copy and paste. The differences are so subtle that they are reminiscent of the game played in childhood magazines to give you two pictures to "find the difference".
The off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain. You Yu left the driver and bodyguard arranged by Haima Company in the car, and got out of the car before going to visit.
His destination is a duplex white building, located at the foot of the mountain, backed by dense woods and shrubs, it even seems a bit abrupt in such a natural scenic spot.
It was Ken Koizumi who answered him, the younger brother of Keita Koizumi, and the brothers lived here together.
Since the previous night had already said hello, the host's visit to You Yu was not unexpected. He warmly invited You Yu into the house and prepared a good tea reception for him.
"Brother, he went into the mountain yesterday afternoon, and he hasn't come back yet." Koizumi said while pouring tea. "But according to experience, he will be back before lunch. If you don't mind, you can wait for a while."
"He spends the night in the mountains?" You Yu was a little surprised. "Does he often do this?"
"Yes." Koizumi was helpless. "Mountaineering is one of my brother's hobbies. This is the interest I tried my best to get him started at the beginning of the year.
Otherwise, he just stays at home every day, can't do anything about it, depressed, and seems to have lost interest in life itself. "
"Sounds like depression."
"It's true...but he was not like this before." Koizumi Ken sat down on the opposite sofa. "He used to be an optimistic person, with an unparalleled passion for archaeology.
He is also very enthusiastic about life itself and looks forward to every day. He once believed that he could make huge discoveries that shocked the world-just like Columbus found the New World, like Bekas found the slate of a dueling monster. "
"He succeeded?"
"Successful...but also failed." Mentioning this part of Koizumi was depressed. "My brother did discover something. From an archaeological point of view, he may indeed succeed, but he was also affected by his own Successfully knocked down.
After returning from that mission, he seemed to have completely changed. He lost his passion and lost interest in everything in the world.
I saw that his spirit was getting weaker and weaker, and he was getting more and more haggard. It was as if he was afraid of something, some fate that he felt could not escape. "
You Yu thought this sounded more and more weird.
"So did he mention what happened during that mission?"
Koizumi shook his head.
"He signed a non-disclosure agreement with the relevant department at the time and could not disclose the content of the incident to anyone. Moreover, Keita himself was very resistant to recalling those things. Since coming back, he has been trying his best to forget those... .It’s just that it may not have been very successful."
Koizumi paused.
"But I kept telling him that continuing to sink like this is no way. So last night I was very happy when I heard you were about to come, Mr. You Yu.
If you really want to know what happened at that time, you can ask Keita personally later. I think if it were you... he might be willing to tell. "
So before Koizumi Keita came back, You Yu stayed.
Koizumi mentioned that there are some of the collections his brother is most proud of, some of which were discovered during his archaeological work, and some were obtained from other sources.
For You Yu, archaeology is about the same as alien culture, he can say that he doesn't know anything. He couldn't help expressing his admiration while he was visiting, but in fact it was a turtle and couldn't tell anything at all.
Until he saw a mural.
To be precise, it is a reproduction of a mural. The moment his gaze fell on the lifelike engraving on the golden slate, You Yu was firmly attracted as if by a demon, his eyes did not blink, and he even couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of what he saw.
The accompanying Koizumi Ken quickly realized that this distinguished guest was interested in this collection, so he stepped forward and explained: "My brother took a lot of effort to get this.
Its authenticity is a mural unearthed in Egypt. I don't know the details very well, but Keita seems to have mentioned that the creation of this mural involves some ancient alchemy that we have not yet understood.
He said that because of the magical properties of alchemy materials, it is difficult to be corroded by time. So far, people have no way to tell what age it came from..."
Obviously, Ken Koizumi doesn't know much. His understanding of the collection here comes only from a few words in his brother's daily life.
But You Yu was not listening to Koizumi Ken talking soon, and all his attention was drawn to this mural.
He saw the ancients paint magnificent and majestic compositions with rough and simple lines. He saw the giant dragon tumbling in the sky—according to the relief on the thousand-year-old stone slab that was once guarded by the tomb guarding clan, You Yu was 70% sure that it was the "Osiris Sky Dragon" because it and the painting on the relief The shape of the wind is exactly the same.
In the same way, the abstract giant standing on the ground should be "Oberisk’s giant soldier. Pterosaurs hang high above their heads with their wings spread, and their bodies are painted with lines that represent the shining sun. The simple lines express the sacredness to the fullest.
On the opposite side of them, in another territory, he saw three similar existences a dragon roaring in the sky, a demon holding the thunder, and a huge giant.
Although he had never seen these in other mural materials, he quickly speculated that those should be "God Flame Emperor Uria", "Thunder Emperor Harmon", "Illusory Demon King Rabbi Air", that is, Hesan The three magical demons opposite to the phantom gods.
If all of these are considered normal, the rest is even more weird.
For example, the statue of a **** that seems to be out of the mainland, at the end of the distant ocean. The one-eyed **** holding a scepter, the sinister and cunning villain with a high hat, and the thunder giant with broad shoulders and infinite power.
Obviously they were the gods from Northern Europe, Odin, Loki, and Thor, known as the "Triple Gods of the Star Realm".
In another part of the picture, there are lines engraved and burning on the ground, which outlines the curves of various animals. There are giants, spiders, hummingbirds, apes, and so on. Each corresponding monster is upright, and the size is not much more than that of fantasy gods and magic demons.
That is the "Nazca Line", which corresponds to the **** "Earth Bound God".
A pair of gods and demons fight, like a mural depicting the end of the world.
