The sky was light, and You Yu had already embarked on a journey to visit the archaeological captain.

The address was on the outskirts, on the edge of a rather remote little village. The intelligence said that the archaeological leader named Koizumi Keita did not live there. A native of the city, he grew up living in mechanized and urbanized areas.

But it was only after he unearthed an unknown object that he made a special trip to the countryside, and specially chose such a remote corner on the edge of the village, almost isolated from the world, to live in.

This place is really hard to find. There are no road signs or signposts, and all the way to the residence of Mr. Koizumi Keita are mountains that look similar.

You Yu is sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, looking through the car window at the blue river that cannot see the boundary sparkling in the sun, looking at the lush jungle along the coast, the mysterious and silent mountains, feeling every picture The pictures all seem to have been slightly modified on the basis of copying and pasting, and the differences are so subtle that they are reminiscent of the game of "finding the difference" between two pictures played in childhood magazines.

The SUV stopped at the foot of the mountain. You Yu let the driver and bodyguard arranged by Haima Company stay in the car, and got out of the car and went to visit.

His destination was a duplex white building, just at the foot of the mountain, backed by dense woods and shrubs, even a bit abrupt in such a natural scenic spot.

It was Ken Koizumi who answered the door, the younger brother of Keita Koizumi, who lived here together.

Because the previous night had already said hello in advance, the host's visit to You Yu was not unexpected. He warmly invited You Yu into the house and prepared a good tea treat for him.

"Brother, he went into the mountains yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet." Koizumi Jian said while pouring tea, "but according to experience, he will come back before lunch. If you don't mind, you can wait for a while."

"He spent the night in the mountains?" You Yu was a little surprised, "Does he often do this?"

"Yeah." Ken Koizumi said helplessly, "Climbing is one of my brother's few hobbies, and this was the one I tried my best to get him to bring up at the beginning of the year.

Otherwise, he just stays at home every day, doesn't get excited about anything, is unhappy, and seems to have lost interest in life itself. "

"Sounds like depression."

"Indeed...but he was not like this before." Koizumi Jian sat down on the sofa opposite, "He used to be an optimistic person, with an unparalleled enthusiasm for archaeology.

He is also very passionate about life itself and looks forward to every day. He had believed that he could make great discoveries that shocked the world - like Columbus discovering the New World, like Bekas discovering the slate of dueling monsters. "

"He succeeded?"

"It succeeded...but it also failed." Koizumi Jian was depressed when he mentioned this part, "Brother, he did find something. From an archaeological point of view, he may have indeed succeeded, but he was also affected by his own Knocked down successfully.

After returning from that mission, he seemed to be a completely different person. He lost his passion and lost interest in everything in the world.

I saw that his spirit became more and more lethargic, and he became more and more haggard. It was as if he was dreading something, some fate he felt he could not escape. "

Yu Yu felt that this sounded more and more bizarre.

"So did he mention what happened during that mission?"

Koizumi Ken shook his head.

"He signed a non-disclosure agreement with the relevant authorities at the time, and he could not disclose the content of the incident to anyone. And Keita himself was very resistant to recalling those events. Since his return, he has been trying his best to forget those things... .It just probably hasn't been very successful."

Koizumi Ken paused.

"But I kept telling him that it's not the way to go on like this. So I was very happy to hear you were coming over last night, Mr. Yu Yu.

If you really want to know what happened, you can ask Keita in person in a moment. I think if it were you...he might be willing to tell. "

So before Koizumi Keita came back, You Yu stayed.

Koizumi Ken mentioned that there are some collections that his brother is most proud of in the house, some of which were found in his archaeological work, and some were obtained from other sources.

For You Yu, archaeology is about equal to alien culture, he can say that he knows nothing. While visiting, he couldn't help expressing admiration, but in fact, he couldn't see anything at all.

until he saw a mural.

To be precise, it was a replica of a fresco. The moment his eyes fell on the lifelike engraving on the golden slate, You Yu was fascinated by it as if he was possessed.

Ken Koizumi, who was accompanying him, quickly realized that this distinguished guest was interested in this collection, so he stepped forward and explained: "This is what my brother took a lot of effort to get.

Its original is a fresco unearthed in Egypt. I don't know the specifics, but Keita seems to have mentioned that the creation of this mural involves some ancient alchemy that we haven't understood yet.

He said that because of some magical properties of alchemical materials, it is difficult to be corroded by time, so people have no way to judge what age it came from..."

Obviously, Ken Koizumi doesn't know much, and his understanding of the collection here only comes from a few words in his brother's daily life.

But Yu Yu soon stopped listening to Koizumi Jian~lightnovelpub.net~ His entire attention was drawn to this mural.

He saw that the ancients used rough and simple lines to draw a magnificent and majestic composition. He saw a giant dragon churning in the sky - according to the relief on the thousand-year-old stone slab guarded by the tomb guards, You Yu was 70% sure that it was the "Sky Dragon of Osiris", because it was the same as the painting on the relief. The wind is exactly the same.

In the same way, the abstract giant standing on the ground should be "Oberisk's giant soldier. The winged dragons hang high above their heads, and the lines around their bodies are drawn like lines that represent sunshine. Simple lines express that sacredness to the fullest.

On the opposite side of them, in another territory, he saw three similar existences. Dragons roaring in the air, demons in charge of thunder, and burly giants.

Although he had never seen these in other mural materials, he quickly speculated that those should be "Shen Yan Emperor Uriah", "Thunder King Harmon", "Illusory Demon King Rabbi El", namely He San The three phantom demons opposite the phantom gods.

If these are all normal, the rest is even more bizarre.

For example, it seems that outside the continent, the statues of gods appear at the far end of the ocean. There is a one-eyed man holding a scepter, a sinister and cunning villain wearing a high hat, and a thunder giant with broad shoulders and infinite power.

It is very obvious that it is the gods from northern Europe, Odin, Loki and Thor, known as "the three gods of the astral world".

In another part of the picture, there are also burning lines engraved on the ground, outlining the curves of various animals. There are giants, spiders, hummingbirds, apes, etc., and each of the corresponding monsters stands upright, and their size is not much less than that of phantom gods and phantoms.

That is the "Nazca Lines", which corresponds to the **** "Earthbound God".

A battle between gods and demons, like a mural depicting the end of the world.
