There are dense trees in the Camorra Mountains. The glow of dusk shines on the mountain, and the red and green colors are mixed. A gust of wind blows, and the sea of trees ripples with waves, and the sound is like waves, from far to near, from near to far.
, the waves cover up the chirping of the birds.
Boom!
Halfway up the mountain, a series of violent explosions sounded.
Visible to the naked eye, mud and dust surged into the sky. They did not fall into the forest until they reached a height of more than ten meters.
Half way to the top of the mountain, a steep slope suddenly collapsed, as if it had been chewed.
"What's wrong? Is it thundering?!"
"It seems to be on the other side of the mountain..."
In a village a few miles away at the foot of the mountain, some villagers also heard the sound echoing in the sky and stopped to look into the distance.
A minute later, dirt and stone covered the ruins.
The air was filled with the unpleasant burnt smell after the explosion, and the surrounding trees fell down one after another, and some were directly broken.
Nearly seven or eight acres of ground were swept away by the explosion and collapse.
At the edge of the explosion range, several mutilated corpses fell on the ground or hung on trees. The rags and clothes with obvious burn marks were torn, and the soil was slightly black mixed with blood.
There was silence all around, even the common bird calls in the mountains and forests were gone. All the wild birds were scared away by the explosion.
Click...click...click...click!
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the soil.
Two minutes later.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Ka Xiu knelt on the ground, his hands hanging down, and his hair was full of dirt. He was panting violently, and his chest was rising and falling.
He was not crushed to death by the collapse of the ruins, but almost suffocated to death. The passage collapsed, and a large area of the ruins was completely buried in soil. He was lucky, and a small space was formed in the corner to hide, and then he dug as hard as he could before escaping.
Come up.
In addition, Kaxiu also has to thank his body for its excellent endurance and physical strength. Six months of hard training finally paid off.
The sky was hazy yellow, and the ground was faintly red.
Card Xiu stood by a big tree, looking down at the body on the ground. He squatted down and picked up a badge next to him.
This is a pure white badge in the shape of a shield, with a pale golden rice pattern on the edge, and a black cross sword in the middle. The tip of the sword is inserted into the head of a demon with horns.
On the back, a series of small letters are neatly arranged.
"Hunter?" Ka Xiu lowered his head and read out these two words.
Putting the badge back in place, he glanced at the pistol held tightly in the corpse's hand in a squatting position. It was a large-caliber firearm as black as ink. The edge was not streamlined, but very thick and angular. It was almost
Half as long as a forearm.
On the right side of the gun are several floral silver letters.
"Ebony".
"This is an organization, either the Phantom or the group of people who planted the bomb." Ka Xiu frowned and stood up. Things became more complicated and confusing. This archaeological project led by the government seemed to be much more than what it seemed.
Simple and ordinary.
Moying, Huolu Antique Company, and even Fengnan City Government were all considered by Kaxiu, and a lot of questions filled his mind.
"No matter, let's leave here first." He glanced around, feeling a sense of horror in his heart. If you stay here, your safety will not be guaranteed at all.
Ka Xiu turned and left.
Half an hour later, the ground mixed with dirt and rocks suddenly cracked, and a twisted human figure crawled out from it.
"It's almost, just a little bit."
The human form changed rapidly, and finally turned into a strong adult male body. Everything was normal, except for the shadow that was constantly squirming on the ground, like a living thing, which was horrifying.
The man stayed there for a while and was about to leave.
"Huh?" He stopped and looked underground.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Another companion is about to appear...high praise..."
******************
June 4, 156 AD, Hongli Federation, wind and light rain.
Fengnan City, North District Cemetery, a large funeral is being held here, and a total of seven coffins are to be placed in the cemetery.
The sky is gloomy today, with gray-white clouds covering the entire field of vision. The sun cannot be seen, and it is gray. It is as if the sky has been wiped with a dirty rag that has been wiped with dust.
The road in the North District Cemetery is muddy, with occasional back and forth ruts. There are a few scattered trees around the road.
In the distance is a large green cemetery with gray tombstones erected, which are the last traces of the deceased left in the world.
In the center of the cemetery, hymns were being sung in a small steeple church. The church had gray walls and a red roof, and the drainage surface made of tiles was wet.
"clang!"
The church bells rang far above the cemetery.
After the whole process of praying, cross, and sprinkling holy water was completed, the seven coffins were placed in their own graves respectively. The relatives shed tears and comforted each other.
After a while, white flowers were placed in front of each tombstone. The priest holding a scripture in his hand was praying slowly with his head lowered.
At the very edge of the seven coffins, there were only two people standing alone in front of the tombstone. One was a priest, and the other was an old man with gray hair and a cane. The atmosphere was very silent.
The old man looked at the tombstone three meters away and it read.
"Cathie Carnegie."
"Born in 131 and died in 156."
The priest continued to recite the scriptures with a low voice: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be hallowed, and may your kingdom come. May your Sacred Heart be as good as in heaven and bless the earth."
"Ka Xiu...cough cough cough..."
The gray-haired old man coughed a few times.
In the distance, behind the wall of the church, a figure wearing a thick black coat and a black wide-brimmed hat looked away.
"I was actually watching my own funeral..."
Ka Xiu murmured to himself. His eyes followed the rickety figure staggering on the muddy road in the distance, and he clenched his teeth unconsciously. In the distance, the old man on crutches suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. Ka Xiu wanted to take a step
He rushed away, but held back.
After a while, someone came over to help. Several people moved forward, and their figures finally disappeared from Ka Xiu's sight.
"Damn it!" He punched the wall in a venting manner and cursed. Kaxiu wanted to show up and tell the old dean that he was not dead, and that he didn't need to be sad for himself and affect his body and mood.
However, this matter is too confusing.
The strange archaeological incident, the sudden betrayal of Huolu Antique Company, the fight and explosion between two unknown organizations, and the Fengnan City Government carrying out a funeral at the speed of light. It's all too suspicious.
Ka Xiu did not dare to show up until everything was sorted out and investigated. He was afraid that this matter would involve the old dean. Now that everyone thought that they had been killed, let Ka Xiu...
It would be better if Carnegie died.
Ka Xiu lowered the brim of his hat, turned around and left in silence.
