A Discovery That Could Overturn History
Ian was helpless.
He told the truth, but Jin thought he was joking. This guy, in some ways, was also a clueless idiot.
The two of them went to Aimina's side together.
Aimina turned her gaze away from Kannari Rin and the group of Exorcism Team members in the distance.
She couldn't understand the argument they had just been having, but asked out of curiosity.
"Does a powerful figure like you need to consider the thoughts of mortals?"
Ian shook his head and told the truth.
"I'm not strong enough..."
Aimina nodded, then shook her head, and looked at Kim Ian.
"Your future is destined to far surpass theirs. Even during the Gandor Dynasty, your talents would have made you capable of becoming the Royal Guard under your father. To disrespect mortals is a path to death."
Ian and Kim exchanged a glance and gave each other a forced smile.
"Thank you very much. It's a pity that your Gandor Dynasty has already fallen, and I... have no interest in fighting and killing..."
He glanced at Jin Dao beside him.
"If I hadn't been dragged onto this pirate ship by this guy, I'd still be enjoying my sunbathing right now..."
Jin scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
I've spent a lot of time with Ian.
I've gotten used to the boy's sharp tongue.
"Enough with the small talk, let's get started..."
"You point out the locations of the remaining stone pillars to us. While it's still early, we should be able to excavate them all today."
Ian and King crawled into the giant Boring Machine.
The argument with Kannari Rin was just a minor incident, and Ian couldn't just leave like that, after all, he had promised Kim and Netero.
"Boom--"
Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding Hunters, the Boring Machine started up again and began to look in the direction Aimina had pointed.
Aimina paid no attention to the group.
Even though she herself was already quite peaceful and approachable.
However, as the former fifth ruler of the Gandor Dynasty, she paid no attention to this group of "mortals." The only people she cared about were Ian, King, and Netero.
On the field.
According to her, Ian and the others planned to excavate the thirty-three "Xie Tool Pillars " as soon as possible.
At the same time.
Located on the outside.
Apart from the information relayed back by Kannari Rin, everyone else was unaware of what had happened inside the Ruins.
The world continues to function normally as before.
Located in the United States of Mito, within a cluster of silver, technologically advanced buildings.
Inside an office.
"How is that possible!?"
A bald old man wearing glasses carefully examined the documents in his hands, somewhat incredulous. He quickly turned on his computer and transferred the data.
Soon, a scene of a pitch-black Ruins in ruins appeared on the screen.
His mouse moved swiftly across the screen, the video progressing very quickly.
The bald old man saw the glittering crystals inside the cave and his face showed surprise. Then he looked further back until... a charred, desiccated humanoid creature appeared in the scene.
Upon seeing the endless black liquid and the hideous, pale monster behind the humanoid creature...
A look of shock crossed his face!
He clicked the mouse rapidly, quickly zooming in on the image. He then picked up a magnifying glass and examined the screen closely, scrutinizing every detail. He compared the image with the report in his hand, muttering to himself.
"Unbelievable... people from the Gandor Dynasty have actually been resurrected..."
"Inconceivable... utterly inconceivable..."
"This is probably the first time that our ancestors have come back to life in Ancient Ruins..."
He excitedly stood up, not caring at all as he knocked over a chair, and ran to a nearby archive, where he searched through a thick stack of documents one by one.
"This isn't..."
"No, that's not it either. The Kaser Dynasty only perished seven hundred years ago..."
"Could it be this volume? No, this is an archive from Atlantis, with too little relevant information... The volume next to it is... the Akeri Dynasty... that's closer!"
"Keep looking!"
"This... the Prophecy Nation... the Yamina Dynasty... it's not it. Strange, why isn't it here?"
He scratched his already sparse hair on his forehead, looking puzzled.
However, his gaze quickly swept over the open sealed cabinet to the side. The cabinet door had been opened before, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look.
"Found it!"
"It's Gandor Dynasty records, strange... who came to look at it?"
The bald old man, without thinking, hurriedly flipped through the pages, muttering to himself.
"The Gandor Dynasty... ended with the fifth king, lasting for four hundred years? That's terrifying, they wiped out nearly half of the nations at the time..."
"Period of existence... hiss... 4,152 years ago..."
The bald old man gasped.
Based on the information he had just received, he was momentarily incredulous.
They are scientists.
They also have some understanding of Nen, and have even come across and conducted detailed research on some cases of Nen users being resurrected.
However, this resurrection spanning over four thousand years is simply too exaggerated...
Even thoughts, in the relentless passage of time, will vanish...
This is almost impossible!!
Four thousand years is enough to erase far too many traces...
But.
A glint of wild joy flashed in the bald old man's eyes behind his glasses!
This is a major discovery!
If we could figure out how the other party managed to preserve their Nen Ability to this day and still make it usable again!
The current Nen Ability tools and even the development direction of Nen users will undergo a revolutionary change!
He, Takeshima Ritsu Kasa, will be world-famous!
"We must notify Rin; we absolutely must capture that monster..."
"Yes, no matter the cost, we must obtain a living monster; he is the foundation of everything..."
"Let me think, let me think, calm down, you need to stay calm in times like these!"
"Relying solely on the Exorcism Team is probably not enough. We need to contact our superiors and dispatch the Exorcism Xie Group. This is a momentous event that could shake human history; we must ensure that everything goes perfectly!"
Dr. Takeshima Ritsu Kasa quickly calmed down, paced back and forth, and then made a decision!
As his call connected, the relevant information was simultaneously passed up to a higher level.
Located in a V5 country.
In a secluded office, a man with a resolute face, resembling a soldier, answered the phone. Upon hearing the news on the other end, his pupils contracted, but he remained calm.
"Are you sure this is true?"
"Very good... I will pass it on to my superiors..."
Send me the information, and I will make a decision as soon as possible!
Soon, back in the office, after reviewing the documents in his hands once more.
Kannari Takeshi looked somewhat excited. If they could really accomplish this feat, their clan, which came from a remote island, would finally be able to gain a firm foothold in the V5 United States!
After hesitating for a moment, he dialed the number on his phone.
"Hello, this is Kannari Takeshi. There's something... I need to report to you..."
Meanwhile, in a high-rise building on the top floor of V5...
A young man with a gloomy expression answered the phone. He looked out the window and asked curiously.
"Oh?"
"Group Leader Kannari Rin actually contacted me. Tell me, what's up?"
Upon hearing the information over the phone, the young man's eyes widened, and then a huge smile spread across his face.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"This is the best news I've heard all year!"
"I think the old men will be very excited to hear this news. Group Leader Kannari Rin, you're amazing!"
"Send me the information. The Exorcism Xie Group alone isn't enough for this kind of task. I'll arrange for a Special Forces to go along to ensure everything goes smoothly!"
After hanging up the phone, the man smiled excitedly, gazing out the window with an air of great ambition.
And through the glass windows of the high-rise building.
Behind him.
On the chair, a woman, barely clothed and tortured to death, lay with her eyes wide open in death.
And at this very moment.
Located in a space that resembles Purgatory.
Beneath Sashado's feet lay a crimson carpet, countless monster corpses lying fallen, their blood staining the earth.
He slowly raised his head, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light, and murmured.
"I... will return again..."
