But at this moment, Beidou noticed that there seemed to be a person in the mist beside him. He stood up straight and looked over cautiously.
It was indeed a person, in this thick fog, about ten meters away from him. Because the fog was too thick to see clearly, I could only see that he was a little short, like a human child. Of course there were no human children here, even the archaeological team were all college students.
alien?
Thinking of this, Beidou quietly put his hands on his waist, guarding the position of the TAC gun.
"This is the TAC team, who are those people in front?" Beidou asked with a warning.
Beidou had already prepared to draw his gun, thinking that he would not get an answer. But he did not expect the other party to answer.
"Brother Beidou?"
Huh? The voice sounded familiar, and then Beidou realized it.
"Lingya?"
It was Reiya who came out of the smoke. Seeing this, Beidou let go of the TAC gun.
"Why are you here?"
"Ah, Brother Beidou is so scary."
Scary? He didn't even draw his gun. Ah, then Beidou realized that Lingye was not talking about the scary action of him drawing his gun, but the mask on his head.
“It’s a gas mask.”
"Yeah, I know, but it still feels a little scary to watch it in the middle of the night, like Darth Vader."
Beidou didn't know what the black warrior was, and thought it was the black-armored warriors in Edo dramas. As for the gas mask, it was indeed a bit similar to the ghost face helmet.
After all, even if it was the original history, Star Wars would not appear on the big screen for the first time until five years later (1977). It is unknown whether it will still be filmed in the world today. No one is destined to understand Lingye's "Darth Warrior".
In this environment, it is normal to wear a gas mask. It is strange for a girl to have no protection at all, right? Beidou secretly refuted in his heart. He is just an ordinary human body, without those strange abilities.
"My friend's dad and his archaeological team had an accident. So I came to see if there was anything I could help with."
"Ah? Oh." Beidou realized that the girl was answering his initial question.
"Everyone in the archaeological team should be fine. I just contacted the hospital. The victims all had stress-induced leukopenia and recovered quickly after blood transfusion. Who is your friend's father?"
"His name is Kinomoto Tonetaka, a professor of archaeology at the University of Tokyo."
It turned out to be the leader of the archaeological team.
Ling also walked to Beidou's side and looked into the dark abyss. The darkness that the flashlight could not tear through also blocked her sight.
At this time, a gust of wind blew through the forest. The wind was quite strong and it immediately dispersed a lot of the red fog.
Beidou was a little surprised and thought it was a coincidence, but he also realized that some things would never be so coincidental.
"How is this done?"
"what?"
"You are the one who caused this wind, right?"
Sometimes, Beidou would think that as a human being, Ling was not that amazing.
Or is it that this human body of mine is a 'castrated' half-baked person?
Ah, it is true that he is half-baked, because he and Nan Xizi are separate, and Ace divided his power between the two of them, so he does not have any special abilities.
Is that what happened?
"It's not me. I'm just an ordinary person. How can I call the wind and rain? I just prayed to Gaia."
Does it make a difference?
This is still an ordinary person. Does she have any misunderstanding about the word "ordinary"?
Beidou was getting more and more confused. There was a huge difference between him and a human form like him, and Ling was a little too powerful. He even doubted whether the other party could fight ordinary monsters without transforming into a giant of light.
As he spoke, a light source slowly rose up and fixed itself above the deep pit. The light was not blinding, but the illumination was not low, just like a real sun, illuminating everything around, as if it were daytime.
Another special ability, and Beidou feels like he's immune to it.
"This is 'Light of Gaia', not my ability."
Ling also explained, but this explanation seemed a bit redundant. Seeing Beidou's perfunctory look, she felt a little aggrieved. This was indeed not her ability. Without the "Light of Gaia", she was just an ordinary earthling.
Beidou's attention was quickly attracted by the scenery in front of him.
He finally saw the pyramid that Professor Kinomoto had mentioned when he called the police.
That is indeed a pyramid, at the bottom of the deep pit. Although he has not yet investigated, Beidou subconsciously feels that the pyramid is quite old, and it gives people the feeling of an ancient relic.
This feeling cannot be described in words, it is like looking at a replica made in a workshop and a real antique. If I have to describe it in one word, it is "a heavy sense of history".
"So this isn't a super beast or a spaceman, it's really an ancient relic?"
Hearing Beidou's question, Ling also spread her hands, saying that it was useless to ask herself. She was not an archaeologist, and perhaps Sakura's father could answer this question more clearly.
But Beidou didn't expect to get an answer, it was just an unconscious question he asked himself.
Chapter 167 Island Flow
"Hey, Brother Beidou, look over there, there seems to be a person lying under the pyramid."
Originally, Beidou had no intention of approaching the pyramid, and only wanted to wait until tomorrow to get his equipment ready and go investigate with his colleagues. But Lingye's words changed his mind.
If there really is someone there, saving him/her is the top priority and must not be delayed.
"where is it?"
"There it is, look, under the pyramid!"
Ling also controlled the light source transformed by the "Light of Gaia" to move downwards, and the light illuminated the bottom of the pit clearly. Beidou also saw clearly that it was indeed a person, apparently a woman, lying under the lowest step of the pyramid.
Although the red smoke was dispersed by the strong wind, there is still a steady stream of smoke spreading out from the cracks in the pyramid.
"But how do we get through?" Beidou looked at the crack in the ground, which was like a vertical cliff with a drop of 40 to 50 meters. There were more than ten floors, almost 20 floors high, and because it was caused by a natural crack in the ground, there was no ramp or stairs leading down.
If Beidou had brought all the climbing equipment, it wouldn't be impossible for him to get down. The TAC team had organized vertical climbing training to cope with various combat environments. But he didn't even have a safety rope.
"Hold my hand!" Lingye said, holding Beidou. The next moment, the two of them appeared at the bottom of the pit.
As long as she is on Earth, Gaia can teleport to any corner. Usually Ling prefers to use the ordinary way of walking or taking a car, but if necessary, she will not stubbornly refuse such an ability.
"This is……"
"I know, this is the ability of 'Light of Gaia' and has nothing to do with you." Beidou said before Lingye explained.
It was too much, Beidou actually interrupted, he was such a friendly person before. But he was right, Ling would say that too. That was Gaia's ability, she was just borrowing it, it had nothing to do with her.
As he got closer, Beidou discovered that it was indeed a woman, wearing ordinary casual clothes, and he didn't know why she was here.
"Hey, are you okay? Cheer up!" Beidou walked forward and found that the woman was still breathing.
The woman frowned, as if in some pain. Her hand was tightly holding a handbag that looked like it was hand-woven.
I don't know why she is here. This ruin looks like it has hundreds or thousands of years of history. It has been sealed underground for many years and no one has visited it. But if she fell from a hole, it would be hard to survive from a height of dozens of meters, but the woman did not have any external injuries.
Beidou saw all of this and had his doubts in his heart, but this was not the time to worry about these things. Saving people was the most important thing.
The pyramid was still emitting smoke, but fortunately the red smoke was lighter than the air and kept spreading upwards, with little impact on the area below the pyramid.
Beidou didn't have time to investigate the pyramid. He looked at the ground a few dozen meters above his head. They were like insects trapped at the bottom of a huge basin. It was difficult for them to climb out.
"There's red gas everywhere, get her to the hospital right away!"
"Okay, leave it to me."
Lingya said, holding the two of them by the hand. The next second, they appeared on the ground outside the pit. Right next to the Airo where Beidou was parked.
"I don't know where there's a hospital near here."
If she knew the coordinates, Lingye could even teleport someone directly to the hospital.
"It's okay, I'll contact you next time." Beidou said and turned on the communicator.
It was not convenient for the Airo to transport the patient, so an ambulance was soon dispatched.
The medical staff got out of the car, lifted her up on a stretcher, and put her into the ambulance. They put a ventilator on her.
"Did this person also inhale the unknown gas?" The accompanying doctor asked Beidou. The group of archaeology students from before were all sent to this hospital for treatment.
"Yes, it should be."
"We need to test a blood sample to determine the extent of her damage. We also need to test her blood type in preparation for a blood transfusion."
"Okay, trouble."
Beidou naturally had no say in medical matters, so he had to listen to the doctor. The doctor took the blood collection device and pierced the woman's wrist.
At this moment, perhaps because of the pain in her wrist, the woman suddenly woke up.
After opening her eyes, she was a little confused at first, but soon she became clear. She glanced at the blood collection device on her wrist, sat up and pulled it out, and bright red blood flowed out from the needle hole.
"Who are you and where are you taking me?"
"Don't worry, these people are doctors, they will send you to the hospital. You were too impulsive, look, your wrist is bleeding!"
"Hospital? I don't need to go to any hospital. And who are you?"
The woman didn't care about her wrist being injured due to the rough removal of the needle.
Beidou had taken off his gas mask long before. Looking at the woman who was unwilling to cooperate, he felt a little headache.
"I'm Hokuto Seiji from the TAC team."
"TAC team?" The woman's expression flickered as she looked at the uniform on Beidou, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Where is your headquarters?"
"what?"
"No, I mean, I've heard of Team TAC, the one that protects the Earth and eliminates the Ultra Beasts. Look, I don't need to go to the hospital right now. I know my body well."
She had more important tasks to do than going to the hospital. It was a bit unexpected to meet the TAC team here, but she couldn't be entangled.
"But you must have inhaled some of the red gas. The white blood cells in the bodies of the victims who inhaled the gas before would drop sharply, and the body would lose resistance, and they would need blood transfusions!"
"I don't need a blood transfusion! You see, I'm in good health now. Or can the TAC team forcibly send someone to the hospital?"
Beidou glanced at the doctor, who shook his head at him. They had no way to deal with patients who resisted treatment. Similarly, even the TAC team did not force people to go to the hospital.
"One last question, what's your name and where are you from?"
