Chapter 811 Mural
It was getting slightly brighter, and You Yu had already embarked on his journey to visit the archaeological captain.
That address was located on the outskirts of the country, on the edge of a rather remote small village. The intelligence said that the archaeological team leader named Keita Koizumi did not originally live there. He is a native city man who has lived in mechanized and urbanized areas since childhood.
But it was only after he unearthed an unknown object that he made a special trip to the countryside, and specifically chose such a remote corner on the edge of the village to live in, almost isolated from the world.
This location is really hard to find. There are no road signs or signposts, and the roads leading to Mr. Keita Koizumi's residence are all mountains that look similar.
You Yu sat in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, looking through the window at the endless blue river sparkling in the sun, looking at the lush jungles along the coast, and the mysterious and silent mountains, feeling every scene The pictures all seem to have been copied and pasted with minimal modifications, and the differences are so subtle that they are reminiscent of the games you played in childhood magazines where you were given two pictures and asked to "find the difference."
The off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain. You Yu asked the driver and bodyguard arranged by Haima Company to stay in the car, and got out of the car to visit him.
His destination was a small duplex white building, located just at the foot of the mountain, backed by dense woods and shrubs, and even seemed a bit abrupt in such a natural scenic spot.
The person who answered the door was Ken Koizumi, Keita Koizumi's younger brother. The two brothers lived here together.
Since he had already greeted you in advance the night before, the host was not surprised by You Yu's visit. He warmly invited You Yu into the house and prepared good tea for him.
"Brother, he went into the mountains yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet." Koizumi Ken said while pouring tea, "But according to experience, he will be back before lunch. If you don't mind, you can wait a moment."
"He spent the night in the mountains?" You Yu was a little surprised, "Does he often do this?"
"Yes." Takeru Koizumi was helpless, "Mountain climbing is one of the few hobbies my brother has, and this was an interest I tried my best to get him interested in at the beginning of the year.
Otherwise, he just sits at home every day, unable to get excited about anything, depressed, and seems to have lost interest in life itself. "
"Sounds like depression."
"Indeed, he was not like this before." Koizumi Ken sat down on the sofa opposite, "He used to be an optimistic person, with a passion for archeology that ordinary people could not match.
He is also very passionate about life itself and looks forward to every day. He once believed that he could make huge discoveries that would shock the world, just like Columbus discovered the New World, and like Bekas finding the tablets for dueling monsters. "
"He succeeded?"
"Succeeded but also failed." Koizumi Ken was depressed when talking about this part, "Brother, he did discover something. From an archaeological perspective, he may have succeeded, but he was also knocked down by his own success.
After returning from that mission, he seemed to be a completely different person. He has no passion and has lost interest in everything in the world.
I saw that his spirit became more and more depressed and he became more and more haggard. It was as if he was afraid of something, some fate that he felt he couldn't escape. "
You Yu thought this sounded even weirder.
"So did he mention anything about what happened during that mission?"
Koizumi Ken shook his head.
"He signed a confidentiality agreement with the relevant departments at the time and could not disclose the contents of the incident to anyone. Moreover, Qingta himself was very resistant to recalling those things. Since coming back, he has been trying his best to forget those things that may never have happened. success."
Koizumi paused.
"But I have always told him that continuing to sink like this is not an option. So I was very happy to hear that you were preparing to come over last night, Mr. Youyu.
If you really want to know what happened, you can ask Keita in person later. 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 of his brother's most proud collections in the house, some of which were discovered during his archaeological work, and some were obtained from other sources.
For You Yu, archeology is equivalent to alien culture, and he can be said to know nothing about it. While he was visiting, he couldn't help but express his admiration. However, in fact, he was a country idiot and couldn't see anything.
Until he saw a mural.
To be precise, it was a replica of a mural. The moment his eyes fell on the vivid carvings in the golden stone slab, You Yu was firmly attracted as if possessed. His eyes never blinked, and for a moment he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of what he saw.
The accompanying Ken Koizumi quickly realized that this distinguished guest was interested in this collection, so he stepped forward and explained: "My brother got this with a lot of effort.
Its original work is a mural unearthed in Egypt. I don’t know much about the details, but Keita seems to have mentioned that the creation of this mural involved some ancient alchemy that we haven’t figured out yet.
He said that because of some magical properties of alchemical materials, it is difficult to be corroded by time, so people still have no way to determine the age it came from."
Koizumi Ken obviously doesn't know much. His understanding of the collection here only comes from his brother's words in daily life.
But You Yu soon stopped listening to Koizumi Ken's words, and all his attention was attracted to the mural.
He saw the ancients depicting a magnificent and majestic composition with rough and simple lines. He saw the tumbling dragon in the sky. According to the relief on the thousand-year-old stone slab that was once guarded by the tomb-keeping clan, Youyu was 70% sure that it was the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" because it was exactly the same as the style and shape on the relief.
Similarly, the abstract giant standing on the ground should be the "Giant God Soldier of Obelix. The winged dragons were hanging high above their heads with their wings spread out, and lines representing the sunshine were painted around their bodies, using extremely simple lines to express the sacredness vividly.
On the opposite side of them, in another territory, he saw three similar existences. The roaring dragon in the sky, the demon in charge of thunder, and the burly giant.
Although he had never seen these in other mural materials, he quickly speculated that they should be "God Flame Emperor Uriah", "Thunder Emperor Hamon", and "Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel", that is, the three phantom demons opposite to the three phantom gods.
If these are still normal, then the rest It's even weirder.
For example, it seems that the statues of gods appear at the end of the distant ocean, outside the continent. The one-eyed god holding a scepter, the insidious villain wearing a tall hat, and the thunder giant with broad shoulders and infinite power.
It is very obvious that they are gods from Northern Europe, Odin, Loki and Thor, known as the "Three Gods of the Star Realm".
In another part of the picture, there are lines engraved on the ground, outlining the curves of various animals. There are giants, spiders, hummingbirds, apes, etc. Each corresponding monster is upright and the size is not much less than that of the phantom gods and demons.
That is the "Nazca Lines", and the corresponding god is the "Earthbound God".
A mural depicting a battle between gods and demons, as if depicting the end of the world.
