As the oldest demonic zone in the world, Gozo is not only a tourist destination with colorful natural landscapes, but also an ancient ruins island registered as a World Heritage.
On this island, there are many ancient ruins, which still attract scholars and professors from all over the world to this day, trying to discover many secrets that happened in ancient times.
Luo Zhen, Gucheng, Sha, Liana and others arrived at Gozo by sea, and got into another car here, with Liana continuing to be the driver, carrying a group of people aged ten. Boys and girls aged one and two were driving on the road to the other side of the island.
During this period, Luo Zhen had been chatting with the restless Sha, enduring Sha's barrage of questions. In addition, Gu Cheng would chat with him from time to time, and the group was quite lively. Neither is boring.
Luo Zhen also learned a lot of things during this process.
For example, Gucheng and Sha are actually a pair of siblings, and their full names are Xiao Gucheng and Xiaosha. The former is the same age as Luo Zhen, both are twelve years old. They have just graduated from elementary school and are about to enter junior high school, while the latter is two years younger than Luo Zhen. Years old, I am eleven years old this year. I am still in primary school, but I am preparing to graduate next year.
Then, the parents of this brother and sister also have some backgrounds.
Their father is an archaeologist who often visits ruins around the world and is always engaged in archaeological activities. He is very knowledgeable, but he is not at home all year round.
Their mother is a researcher who is qualified as a clinical magician and serves as the director of the medical department of a well-known company. She also rarely goes home due to work reasons.
In other words, Xiao Gucheng and Xiao Sha can be regarded as a brother and sister who have depended on each other since childhood, so their relationship is better than others think.
This time, the brother and sister came here because their father was excavating an underground tomb here.
It is said that it is a tomb that has no official name and was only recently discovered.
For this tomb, Gucheng and Sha's father stayed here for a long time, but it seemed that something went wrong and the progress was not improved.
In desperation, the father called Sha over and wanted Sha to help him.
As for the ancient city, I just followed him here because I was worried about my young sister running to such a place alone.
Luo Zhen was a little surprised by this.
"Can you help with the ruins that even a dedicated archaeological team can't do anything about?"
Luo Zhen looked at Sha with some surprise.
Could it be that this lively eleven-year-old girl has broader knowledge than experts
When Luo Zhen was thinking this, Sha Que just puffed out his chest proudly, and Gu Cheng also looked very mysterious. The two of them didn't give an explanation, but they actually kept it secret.
On the contrary, Liana, as a noble and a pure-blood vampire from the War King Realm, appears here because this underground tomb was jointly excavated by the Japanese government and the War King Realm, so he was sent to serve as The general counsel and bodyguard of the investigation team.
"An excavation job that requires pure-blood noble vampires as advisors and guards?"
Luo Zhen's heart moved, but he quietly hid the thought that flashed in his heart.
I'm just here to avoid the limelight temporarily, and I don't want to get involved in any troublesome situations, so I don't want to say anything unnecessary.
but...
"Since it is such an important job, is it okay to let people like me just go by?"
Luo Zhen said this with seeming scruples and hesitation.
In this regard, Gucheng and Sha didn't take it seriously.
"Anyway, it's just the excavation of underground ruins, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Yashiro-kun really likes to make friends. Although he has a weird personality and is very sloppy, and he only knows weird people. He doesn't pay attention to his daily routine, doesn't eat all three meals, and often smokes and drinks, but he is very easy to talk to. , I will definitely not exclude Yao on purpose."
Gucheng and Shabi said this one after another, and the latter also talked about a lot of things that others didn't want to know, making people wonder whether they should complain or not.
By the way, the so-called Yagi-kun refers to their father.
By the way, not long after Luo Zhen got in the car, the brother and sister started to call him by nicknames, so Luo Zhen could only call them by their names.
Children (?) are easy to get along with, and the fact of traveling together has made Gucheng and Sha very happy, and they do not reject Luo Zhen.
Liana opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose silence and continued driving to her destination.
Not long after, the group's car left the road and drove into the rocky wilderness.
"We're almost there!"
Liana, who was holding the steering wheel, shouted loudly while desperately controlling the vehicle.
Because the car was driving on rocky ground with relatively large undulations, the car was shaking quite violently at this time.
"Oooh!"
Gucheng made an embarrassing sound and pulled hard on the car door, almost hitting the roof of the car.
"Woo..."
Sha Ze let out a sob, and her pretty face turned red.
Because the bumpy car had already thrown Sha onto Luo Zhen, causing Sha to fall into Luo Zhen's arms.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Luo Zhen put his arms around Sha's waist and smiled at Sha like a gentleman who respects ladies.
This made Sha's face turn even redder, and he almost screamed.
In fact, Luo Zhen is not much better. If he hadn't used the "rigid body" technique to strengthen himself, he would be no different from the ancient city now. How could he be so cool
This has also been what Yue has always told him. He must maintain his image in front of others no matter what. This has been deeply ingrained in Luo Zhen's behavior.
only...
"The target is still a primary school student."
Luo Zhen complained in his heart again.
Just like that, the car finally drove into its destination.
I saw, in front of me, a simple camp made of tents and modular houses.
There are several engineering machines used for excavation parked in the camp. Guards from what appear to be private military companies and heavily armed armored vehicles can be seen everywhere. It seems that the security is quite tight.
On the contrary, investigators and archaeological experts were so sparse that it felt strange.
It was more of an armed stronghold of guerrillas than an excavation site for ruins.
"parking!"
Several guards guarding the road came over immediately and stopped the vehicle.
In the hands of these guards, each of them actually holds a firearm, which can be said to be fully armed.
"it's me."
Liana rolled down the window and stuck her head out.
Upon seeing this, the guards immediately saluted and stepped aside to allow the cars to pass.
The car stopped in the camp and everyone got off it one after another.
"Is this right here?"
Kojou looked around and muttered.
"Where is Kijo-kun? Where is Kijo-kun? Are you letting us off again? If you do this this time, I will be really angry?"
Sha Ze kept saying this.
Luo Zhen, however, immediately stared in one direction after getting off the car.
There, at the foot of a rocky hill, was the entrance to a cave that was suspected to be a sacrificial hall.
The reddish-brown limestone has been badly eroded by wind and rain.
An accident probably occurred during the excavation work, and there are signs of damage around it.
An unusual aura permeated it.
With just one glance, Luo Zhen was sure.
"This is definitely not an ordinary relic."
It seems that I really got involved in a big trouble unintentionally.
