Chapter 19 9 Langyue Relics
Chapter 19: Jiulangyue Ruins
……
05:46pm.
Katsushika Ward Police Station, Tokyo.
trial room.
Kawahara sat here feeling extremely bored, with his chin resting on the table with one hand.
Although he didn't know what time it was, he could tell from his hungry state...it must be almost time for dinner!
At this time, the door of the interrogation room was opened again, and the young policeman who had arrested him before walked in with a strange look on his face.
"How is it?" Kawahara looked at him.
"I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. An officer from the Joint Investigation Headquarters said that he will be here soon, but before that, I hope you can cooperate with us to understand what happened before." The young policeman said honestly.
"Of course you can, but before that..."
"Uh...what is it?" The young policeman looked at him nervously.
"Is it time for dinner?"
Kawahara said seriously.
……
Half an hour later.
After receiving a call from the Katsushika District Police Department, Kaoru Ichijo hurried over and saw the captured super ancient man eating his second serving of pork chop rice.
"Why are you here?" Xun Ichijo asked puzzledly.
"Didn't Miss Enoda tell you?" Kawahara also looked at him puzzled.
"No...I..."
After hearing this, Xun Ichijo paused, then took out his mobile phone and looked through the voicemail box, and sure enough, he saw a message from Hikaru Enoda.
But he was working at that time and has been working until now, so he didn't pay attention to these trivial matters. The main reason was that the matter of unconfirmed life forms was too troublesome.
Thinking of this, looking at the super ancient man in front of him, Ichijo Kaoru frowned and said: "After you fell unconscious, another Gurongi appeared."
Kawahara nodded: "I heard from Ms. Enokida."
"So Yusuke Godai and I acted together, and in the afternoon, the Nagano Prefectural Police Department sent a report that a group of tombs were found near the Kuroyama ruins. I suspect that this is where those guys called 'Gurongi' you mentioned were resurrected." Kaoru Ichijo said again.
"Probably." Kawahara nodded again.
"Originally, after that incident, the development of the Kuroyama ruins was put on hold, but after discovering your existence, the Joint Investigation Headquarters finally decided to speed up the progress and explore the area."
I don't know what he was thinking, but Xun Ichijo explained with a little hesitation the reason for suddenly discovering the tomb group.
Kawahara thought for a moment and said, "When are you free, can you take me to the Jiulangyue ruins?"
Ichijo Kaoru looked at his watch without hesitation and said, "It's late today, but I can take you there tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, then tomorrow." Kawahara agreed.
Hearing this, Kaoru Ichijo seemed relieved.
Kawahara looked at him and asked, "Did you track down the Gurongi that appeared this morning? "
Ichijo Kaoru nodded when he heard this, but then shook his head.
He frowned and said, "Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 7 has never engaged us in direct combat. Although we have successfully surrounded it twice, it managed to escape each time, and the distance it escaped was quite far, but..."
"You probably know where it's going," Kawahara continued.
"Yes! It only appears near the river every time, so we chased it from Koto District to Katsushika District." said Kaoru Ichijo.
"That should be the one..."
Kawahara looked at the fast food box in front of him thoughtfully.
Ichijo Kaoru paused and said, "What?"
Now that there was no one else in the interrogation room, Kawahara simply narrated what happened before he was brought here.
In short -
"I have already dealt with that Gurongi."
"..."
Hearing this, Xun Ichijo was stunned, and then he was silent for a long time, and then he asked hesitantly: "Is this... the reason why you came out?"
"No, I came out just for a drive. I had agreed with Miss Enokida that I would go back for dinner, but I didn't expect to have another pork chop rice here. I really don't understand why you policemen like pork chop rice so much." Kawahara couldn't help but sigh.
Ichijo Kaoru: “…” Cough.
Probably because it’s cheap and easy to buy!
……
……
In the evening, Kawahara was sent back to the Scientific Police Research Institute, and then received a greeting call from Yusuke Godai on Hikaru Enoda's cell phone.
The other party said that he would pick him up tomorrow morning.
But Kawahara said, "Mr. Ichijo may have forgotten to tell you that I will go to Kurodake with him tomorrow morning."
Yusuke Godai on the other side: [“Eh——”]
As for the time to return to Tokyo from Kurodake, Kawahara was not sure.
Just as Hikaru Enoda was worried that "golem" might be something dangerous, Kaoru Ichijo was also worried whether any unexpected situations would occur during the excavation of the Kuroyama ruins.
So just like interrogating a criminal, Kaoru Ichijo directly borrowed the interrogation room of the Katsushika District Police Department and carefully asked Kawahara some information about "Gurongi".
Then the other party went to Shuiyuan Park to work overtime again.
[“I see…”]
Godai Yusuke paused for a moment, then said cheerfully: [“In that case, let’s meet again when you come back! I want to know more about Kuuga!”]
Kawahara smiled and said, "Okay, sure."
[“Then it’s a deal!”]
"OK."
As Kawahara listened to the voices inside, he seemed to imagine Godai Yusuke's expression of giving a thumbs up.
Compared to Rick's restraint and shyness, Yusuke Godai is obviously optimistic and enthusiastic.
After the conversation ended, Kawahara looked at the phone in his hand, which looked very similar to a Xiaolingtong, and thought about how much it would cost to buy it. He also thought about how long it would take for the world to develop to the point where touch-screen smartphones could be put on the market.
Then the flip phone in his hand was taken away by Hikaru Enoda who was passing by.
"A room has been arranged for you to rest temporarily, but the Scientific Police Research Institute usually takes in research subjects. You can consider asking Ichijo-kun to arrange a new place for you." Enoda Hikaru said with a yawn.
If it weren't for dealing with this super ancient person, she would have been off work long ago!
Kawahara nodded: "Thank you for your help."
Hikaru Enoda waved his hand casually: "Then I'll leave too~"
Although she was gone, some places in the Scientific Police Research Institute were still brightly lit, after all, there were many researchers who often had to stay up late to work overtime. Kawahara, who had slept for half a day, lay in the lounge, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about his future life plan.
Life needs planning, otherwise moving forward without a purpose is just a waste of time.
After visiting the ruins of Kuroyama, he had to find an opportunity to meet the Gurongis who were restarting the "Kikiru Game", and - the resurrected Daguba.
After doing these things, you can also try to catch a wave of torrents in this era...
……
……
Early the next day.
Scientific Police Institute.
Kaoru Ichijo, who had dark circles under his eyes, came as promised and prepared to take Kawahara to the Kurodake ruins in Nagano Prefecture.
As a result, an accident happened just as we set out.
While driving, Kaoru Ichijo received an emergency call from the Joint Investigation Headquarters.
"Another unconfirmed life form has appeared!"
Ichijou's frown has never relaxed in the past two days.
"It should be confirmed that the Gurongi from yesterday has failed the game, so let the next contestant take over." Kawahara said.
He remembered No. B1 who appeared at the scene yesterday, and he had confirmed that these were the Gurongis participating in the game in Tokyo.
Ichijo Kaoru frowned: "You said that they follow certain rules when hunting, right?"
Kawahara thought for a moment and said, "The low-level Gurongi group probably doesn't have any rules, as long as the numbers are met, but they also have killing habits that are consistent with their biological characteristics."
For example, the locust Gurongi can jump high, so it likes to jump to a high place and throw its prey to death, while the aquatic creature Gurongi yesterday was lurking near the river.
After thinking it over, Kaoru Ichijo said apologetically, "I'm afraid I can't take you to Kuroyama today. I need to return to the joint investigation headquarters as soon as possible."
Kawahara shook his head and said, "It's okay, but do you need my help?"
Xun Ichijo hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
He said truthfully: "If possible, I even hope that Godai Yusuke will not fight like that again. We are not suitable to rely on your power."
In fact, as early as in Nagano Prefecture, Kaoru Ichijo warned Yusuke Godai not to get involved in the battle.
But the threat posed by Gurongi is really too great.
In the end, he had no choice but to ask Yusuke Godai for help.
Hearing this, Kawahara couldn't help but look seriously at Kaoru Ichijo who seemed a little silent.
This policeman has a very clear mind.
Then, Kaoru Ichijo took out a black pen, quickly wrote a note and handed it to Kawahara.
"This is how you get to Nagano Prefecture. Someone from the police department there will pick you up and take you to Kuro-dake."
Kawahara took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a transportation plan.
He said with a strange look on his face: "First of all, I am very grateful that you are willing to trust me and let me take the Shinkansen by myself, but I think I can also drive there by myself."
He missed the motorcycle that reached 300km/h yesterday.
Unfortunately, after returning to the Scientific Police Research Institute, the motorcycle parked on the side of the road was also taken back by Mitsuru Enoda.
Ichijo Kaoru was puzzled when he heard this: "You can also drive?"
Kawahara said calmly, "I just learned it."
Kaoru Ichijo: “…” Could it be that all the people in ancient times had this kind of magical superpower?
……
……
Finally, Kaoru left a paper map for Kawahara.
Then Kawahara drove the TryChaser2000A motorcycle that he had just asked for back and sped along at an extremely high speed on the deserted road.
There is no surveillance around anyway!
If the traffic police can, catch up!
He didn't have this feeling in the ancient times, but now, Kawahara felt very clearly that his reaction and control abilities had become very strong. He even considered for a second becoming a racing driver to make money.
Then buy yourself a flip phone!
On the motorcycle traveling at super high speed, in the chaotic gust of wind, Kawahara took out the map with one hand and took a look at it.
Nagano Prefecture is just ahead...
Ok?
Suddenly sensing something, he looked in that direction intently. His fingers loosened slightly and the paper map in his hand flew away with the howling wind.
But Kawahara ignored him and just sped up in that direction.
The ruins of Mount Kuro!
……
This place is full of traces of the passage of time, but one can still vaguely see the original outline from the surrounding mountainous terrain, giving an impression of being from the ancient times.
Kawahara stopped by the side of a mountain road. He looked around, paused for a moment, and then turned to look at the mountains in the distance.
The place where only a small hill remains now and there is not even a tree taller than ten meters, seems to be the mountain where he asked Rick to fire the first arrow of the Pegasus crossbow?
The so-called Kuroyama ruins.
In fact, it is the original Linduo village.
It was also the place where they fought, so the sealed Gurongi were buried nearby.
So what about Linduo back then?
Have you all moved away?
Kawahara stepped on a broken branch and walked through the mountain path, looking at the basin surrounded by mountains below. In a trance, the barren loess slope overlapped with the ancient Linduo village.
Then flames gradually appeared in sight, and the houses made of stone and wood became dilapidated in the smoke.
Soon after, the dilapidated houses disappeared and people dressed in modern clothes rushed in.
Finally the village became what it is today.
Kawahara came back to his senses and looked at the largest cave in the Kuroyama ruins.
There was something there that attracted him strongly.
It’s a bit like the feeling when I first saw B1.
……
……
Uncover the mystery:
The cannon fodder Gurongi in the previous chapter was a "slug"~

In addition, as for the 30-day investment income, I will try my best to guarantee it to you before I go back!
