"Squad Leader Kusnoji, Turtle Guitar..."
This stocky man had a mournful expression on his face, and his thin nose, which was small but with a prominent bridge, took a big breath, and the wide eyebrows raised on the two brows that seemed energetic on weekdays were frowning towards the center of his brows.
He gritted his teeth tightly, the paper tightly clutched in his hand had long been twisted and deformed.
He lowered his head, and his messy light brown hair moved with the man's movements, like nameless weeds growing in the wilderness and encountering strong winds.
Standing opposite the man with light brown hair was a brown-haired man in his thirties with a steady face. He wore a cardboard staff card with the words "Eighth Assault Excavation Squad" on his chest.
Under Kusnoji's eyes were dark blue from lack of sleep, and in those bloodshot eyes were uncontrollable sadness and worry.
He raised his hand, with a little more force, and patted the shoulders of the employees in his excavation team twice.
"Raizang, cheer up! Turtle Guitar doesn't want to see you looking so depressed now."
After Suolanslei heard the words, he looked down at the death notice in his hand again, and he could not help but see his friend's body covered with gray-black stone growths, lying lifelessly on the hospital bed again. .
Lei Zang raised his arms, wiped his face with the sleeve of his overalls, and looked directly at Kusnoji.
"Squad leader, knowing that there is a problem with that mine, why does the excavation plan continue as usual?!"
Facing the doubts from his subordinates, Kusnoji pursed his lips, and finally sighed softly.
"This is the meaning of the company, we can only implement..."
Kusnoji lowered his voice, trying his best to maintain his remaining sanity.
"Lei Zang, think about Little Kaohsiung, that kid is talented. Even if it's for the sake of Little Kaohsiung's future, you can't lose this job at this time."
Time seemed to be frozen, neither of Kusnoji and Solan Sirizang made any movements, just like two lifeless statues.
After a long while, Suolans Leizang's shoulders slumped feebly, he nodded slowly, turned around and walked out of the room.
Watching the back of Lei Zang going to the preparation room, Kusnoji turned his head and looked at the "10 Suggestions for Building a Beautiful Workplace Together by Hai Zixuan" posted on the office wall, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"1. Say "Good morning" out loud
2. It is forbidden to bring elves into the workplace
3. Work on time and always work overtime
4. Sacrifice yourself, confirm safety
5. Team work, joint responsibility
6. Absolutely obey the orders of the boss
7. Maintain quality, give up rationality
8. Worship and praise the founder
9. No vacation until retirement
10. No need to think..."
……
Curator Kusnoji opened his hazy eyes, his mind was still a bit muddy after a nap.
He stood up from the office chair in the laboratory, the bone he broke in the previous accident was still aching.
Kusnoji pushed open the closed window, felt the sea breeze blowing on his face, and whispered to himself: "When you get older, people will recall the past from time to time."
"Old man, I really want to have a chance to have a drink with you as before."
Curator Kusnoji let out a long sigh of emotion, and continued to murmur: "Speaking of which, Kaohsiung is really promising! I saw him on TV yesterday."
"Time flies so fast. Lei Zang, in the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed..."
Curator Kusnoji withdrew his gaze towards the sea level, and finally fixed his gaze on the black stone emitting heat on the test bench, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"Myths and legends are the spiritual genes of human civilization, engraved in the blood of human beings, and pass on belief and worship from generation to generation. The myths and legends in the Fengyuan area are the ancestors' initial understanding of the world they live in," Stone Cave Murals 'It reflects the primitive ancestors' simple cognition of the surrounding world, and it is the yearning and admiration for the powerful force capable of changing the environment."
"Through professional instruments to detect the degree of decay of a specific element in the pigments used in the series of murals in the Stone Cave, we can infer the approximate drawing time of the murals - more than 1 million years ago. And in this time period The civilization that is active in China is also called 'ultra-ancient civilization' by current researchers."
"All regions belonging to the Elf Alliance have obtained documents or ruins and cultural relics related to 'ultra-ancient civilization'. However, there are obvious differences in the specific characteristics of 'ultra-ancient civilization' among various regions. Combining XX and XX According to the statistics of regional civilization data, it can be roughly judged that there is a positive correlation between 'ultra-ancient civilization' and the legendary elves worshiped in various regions."
"According to this theory of 'geographical elf worship', there should be elf worship for Gulardo, Kyoka, and Rikakuza in the Hoenn area, and there should also be tribal groups that are consistent with the beliefs. There are still tribes that survive today. The "People of Water" and "People of Meteor" can be traced back to their origins. It can be known that the Sea Tribe that believes in Gaioka and the Space Tribe that believes in the Rift Seat are their ancestors. Only the tribe that believes in Gulardo has no relevant records. active record."
"As the source of human life and the driving force of all cultures, ancient mythology mainly describes the relationship between human beings and nature, animism and the relationship between ancient religions. In terms of development law, ancient mythology mainly reflects the survival of early people Consciousness and the natural conditions that form this consciousness. As myths continue to evolve, the distinction between primary myths and secondary myths arises.”
The words on the laptop screen stopped, and the sound of Xiao Luo's fingers typing on the keyboard also stopped abruptly.
She stared at the text on the screen, and her eyes paused for a moment on "Primary Myth" and "Secondary Myth".
Suddenly, Regichkas known as the "Sacred Pillar King" and his friends appeared in Xiao Luo's mind.
It is said that Regichkas will use special icebergs, rocks, magma, electric energy and dragon energy to create elves similar to himself and give them life. Reggie Ace, Regis Chilloo, Reggie Alleki, and Reggie Drago.
The figure of the Holy Pillar King has more or less appeared in the silhouettes of civilizations in various regions.
"Could it be... there is a trace of the legendary 'god with great power, dragging endless continents'?"
Xiao Luo rested her chin with one hand and continued to think.
There was a "Continental Drift Theory" in the world of the previous life, maybe there is also a striking similarity in the world of the elves?
On the planet, all the continents used to be a unified huge land mass before the annihilation of the super ancient civilization, which was first called the Pangea or the United Ancient Land.
Then, before this huge landmass was separated, even if it was due to the regional differences in various parts of the continent, the main elves believed in were different.
And after witnessing that the mainland was separated into several independent plates and moved to the current position, the ancestors who worshiped the strong will leave traces of the stalwart image of the "Sacred Pillar King" in their beliefs, Reggie Chikas and the divine pillars as slave gods appeared in civilizations in various regions, and it became logical.
"Well, speaking of which, I remember that there seems to be some ruins in the desert on Route 111 in the Hoenn area..."
Xiao Luo's eyes lit up immediately, maybe the tribes that believed in Gulardon didn't die out because of wars or natural disasters, but merged with other beliefs and changed their appearance...
For a moment, Xiao Luo's thoughts burst out of inspiration, the cursor on the screen quickly moved down, and a complete thesis was waiting for the horse.
Leaving aside the little Luo who was writing hard in the room of the passenger ship, at the same time, Ruby and Lucario were standing on the deck and lovingly watching the restored health of Lalu Lasi and Ruby's jumping fish. ZUZU and Long Nose Ye NUNU are laughing and playing.
Lalulas, who was possessed by the undead Lattios, was still a little weak after being released from the state of dependence, but after receiving the meticulous treatment from Miss Joy of the Elf Center, her health has improved significantly.
In addition, there is a surprise.
Lalu Lasi's "AC band inconsistency" is cured!
Perhaps because of the mystical factors from the soul level, this problem that has plagued Lalulas for most of his life was finally overcome, and Lalulas, who was crying with joy, could finally experience the normal life of an elf.
What a joy.
In this way, Xiao Luo and his party, who missed the "Gorgeous Fighting Competition" due to force majeure, started again, and they were on their way to the next destination - Kaina City.
【Um?here it is……】
Suddenly, Lucario's eyes froze, and he closed his eyes and activated the waveguide to sense it.
After a few breaths, it opened its eyes.
[It turns out to be here... the ruins called "Sea Purple Potato". 】
Ruby frowned and pondered, the news about sea purple stalks flashed quickly in his mind, and said with emotion: "It's really a pity, the original unique ecological landscape just disappeared like this."
Lucario nodded approvingly, and one person and the four elves raised their eyes in unison to look at the dark blue waves, showing a deep pose with a unified painting style.
"Okay, the wind and waves are a bit strong. Let's go back to the cabin and have a rest."
【it is good. 】
The white passenger ship cut through the waves, and soon left the former site of Haizitu, and continued to move towards the beautiful port city of Kaina.
The track gradually disappeared, and under the slightly undulating sea surface, there was a completely different scene at this moment.
The excavation platform that was originally used to excavate seabed energy has long been transformed into an island shaped like a warship in the passage of time, and there are even traces of marine life living in the outermost layer.
However, under the destructive power of the tsunami, only countless twisted and broken building fragments were left randomly stacked together, resembling a gigantic jagged rock and ghostly dead trees .
In the narrow space formed by piles of wreckage in the deepest part, there is a strange stone with a distorted expression on its surface.
Suddenly, this stone that looked like the Chinese character "fire" was engraved with a layer of faint purple light from the inside.
In an instant, the small piece of sea area where the wreckage was located seemed to feel some kind of call, and amidst a heartbeat-like vibration, the purple light became brighter and brighter!
The countless sandstones of different sizes that came from deeper in the ocean were all covered with purple light, like lit Kongming lanterns, floating and flying from the deep blue.
The wreckage made of steel and concrete trembled under the sea surface, absorbing the purple awns from all directions.
Like a branch trying to grow towards the sea level, after the sudden purple light disappeared, it was a little closer to the sky.
