Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 279 Frozen Song (4.2k)

Talini, or snow, is a girl's name that may be more complicated than this, but no one knows her original name, and she refuses to tell these strangers.

Xue is still the nickname that Chu Zihang took a lot of effort to get out of the girl's mouth.

In the simplest projection room in the cabin, Schneider, Caesar and even Rebalco were all there, staring at the projected video on the wall.

The girl named Xue talked to Chu Zihang in the video.

She can speak very little English, but the stories she encountered were too bizarre and twisted, and they were still told in Eskimo, which forced the listeners to wear simultaneous translation equipment.

The beginning of the story is that some Russian explorers came to Xue's village, and they paid high rewards to find guides.

The village where Xue’s family lives is the poorest in all villages. Her mother ran away with a young sailor who passed by when she was very young.

Dad wanted to send her to school in Murmansk, where the sea is prosperous and the sea never freezes all year round.

But going to Murmansk cost a lot of money, so Xue's father took over the task, and he was not at ease leaving young Xue alone at home, so he took her with him.

The team that hired the father and daughter owned a not-so-luxury icebreaker, and the place they wanted to go was called "Sunset Land" in the Inuit population.

"Sunset place?" Chu Zihang asked in the video.

"When the polar day comes, the Arctic Circle does not have a sunset. Although the sun will gradually sink into the horizon, it will jump out of its place in less than ten minutes. But there is a legend among the Inuit people that there is a sun in the Arctic Circle. The island is as warm as the southern continent, whether it is polar day or polar night, there are sun rises and sunsets there, and the sea around it does not freeze all year round, we call it 'the land of the setting sun'."

Xue Youyou said: "But even us children know that the Land of the Setting Sun is a legend, but those Russians believe it really exists."

When she mentioned the island, Chu Zihang's calm expression was a little strange, but he didn't show it, he just meditated silently.

Schneider and Caesar looked at each other, and each had an answer in their hearts.

Judging from their previous investigation results, the Arctic expedition team was not normal. They were not an official scientific expedition team, but they hired icebreakers, which required strong financial support.

Their behavior is also very strange. Ordinary people’s private expedition team just went to the North Pole to take a photo, plant a flag, and then take two landscape photos and then go home, but they wandered around the Arctic Circle for several months. The test station must provide them with supplies, and their strength is clearly visible.

What are they looking for!
"Dad was always choosing the safest route along the way. He didn't want to look for any sunsets. He just wanted to send me to school after a few months and get the money."

Snow continued.

"But I was scared because I could understand some English and those people thought I didn't understand and would communicate in English in front of my face. They always mentioned a big fish and they had a lot of weapons."

"I know what they mean by the big fish, for us Inuit it's our god and those people want to kill the god."

"I went to talk to my dad about it, I don't think we can help those people find the sunset anymore, it's a cursed route, but dad said our family really needs money, and those people will never find the sunset The Land of the Sunset is only open to the chosen ones."

When the video was put here, Schneider suddenly raised his hand to signal a pause.

"eva, search for the legend about the 'land of the setting sun'." he said.

"Although the name is different, she should be talking about Avalon, the holy land in Celtic mythology. It is a small island where time never flows. Legend has it that King Arthur ended up going to Avalon in a boat. Someone It is believed that Avalon is located in the Arctic Circle, and those who are about to die can gain immortality if they arrive there, but only if you are allowed to enter, otherwise they will be beheaded by the green knights guarding the island. In fact, similar to this 'ideal' There are countless legends and stories in the township, and the myths of one civilization are often introduced to another civilization, and a little modification becomes a new legend, so from this perspective, the Avalon myth is worthless to our research.”

Eva's voice is indifferent and mechanized, and there are outsiders present, but she does not appear in the form of projection.

However, even though she deliberately lowered her sense of presence, Rebalco was still very wary of this girl who could answer questions anytime and anywhere.

"King Arthur, who died in battle in England, is going to Avalon in the Arctic Circle?" Caesar questioned.

"It is true that most scholars believe that Avalon is located in Glastonbury, England, but in recent years many people have found land in the Arctic Circle on Phoenician maps, including Greenland and our French Joseph Land Islands. So people who are superstitious about the Arthurian myth started claiming that Avalon was located inside the Arctic Circle," Eva said.

"Hundreds of satellites hang in the sky, and they can see the earth clearly from space. Will anyone still believe in 'unknown land'?"

"Humans always tend to believe in the unknown, even believing that they exist in other dimensions."

The people of Kassel College present were a little silent.

In fact, what Caesar said just now is not one of them, but a certain conclusion.

An island recorded on an ancient map is located in the frigid Arctic Circle, but it is warm like a paradise, and the internal time hardly flows, and it is only open to selected people...

Only the Nibelungs.

And only the dragon king and the existence close to the dragon king can construct such a large-scale Nibelungen and support them for thousands of years.

Leviathan?Or Niord?

They are not sure, maybe the Nibelungen jointly cast by the two dragon kings is also possible.

Rybalco sat in the group like an outsider.

As an outsider, he should have been at a loss, and he did not join in the conversation. Instead, he was smoking a cigar at the side, and the white smoke was swirling around, blurring his expression.

Eva resumed playing, still Xue's empty voice.

"They often sent people to dive along the way, and sometimes picked up some metal objects with patterns, but they didn't allow my father and me to get close to watch."

Chu Zihang in the video paused, and then asked, "Can you describe it?"

"It looks like stone, and it looks like iron. It seems to be a part of a pillar. It's black, but it doesn't rust after being soaked in water."

Schneider nodded slightly.

Dragons have the habit of building giant pillars, which means that the mysterious expedition team found an ancient dragon city similar to Gao Tianyuan on the seabed!

It seems that there are still many relics hidden in the depths of this world that they have not explored.

This news is not good news, because the more dragon relics there are, the more places there will be for those unyielding dragons to hide and cultivate their health.

"We never found the sunset. Dad thought the journey would end safely until that day...the night with the aurora."

Rybalco almost exhausted all his strength before pressing himself firmly on the chair.

That aurora-shrouded night seemed to appear before him again.

The dragon and snake dance wildly, the night lights are brilliant, everything is like an illusion, but among all the misty things, there is only a man whose surname is Chu but does not know his name, and shoots with an AK47, trying to break through the shackles of the illusion.

"There was no wind that night, the sea was calm, no ice in sight, as usual, except for those on duty who were asleep."

Xue whispered: "I was woken up. When I got dressed and ran to the deck, everyone was watching the aurora. They called it 'the skirt of the sea goddess'."

"It is said that this kind of aurora is rare to see in a hundred years. Anyone who sees it will be blessed by the goddess of the sea, and we saw...an island under the aurora, a real island."

"The people on the boat seemed to be crazy, and they drove the boat towards the island one after another. They didn't let my father and I get on the boat, so we just stayed on the deck and waited for them."

After hesitating for two seconds, Chu Zihang asked, "So have you seen the sunset?"

"I didn't see it." Xue shook her head, "I watched the aurora on the deck for a long time, until the copper bell on the rope rang suddenly."

"The distress signal sent by those who entered the aurora?" Chu Zihang in the video guessed something.

Xue Shen nodded: "The small boats they drive are all tied to the big boat with safety ropes. Whenever they encounter danger, they will ring the bell and ask Dad to start the winch to pull them back."

"However, some of the ropes were broken. Those who came back alive looked terrified. They jumped into the boat and shouted for us to go away. It seemed that something terrible was chasing them."

"Did you see what was chasing them?"

Xue still shook her head: "I only saw blood-red sea water, a lot of blood-red sea water rushed from the aurora, and soon turned the entire sea into blood-red."

"Originally, the sea was calm that day, but immediately after it turned blood red, there was a violent storm. Our boat was shaking violently in the waves, as if a huge wave would overturn it at any time."

"When they came back, they brought an iron box that kept oozing blood. At this time, someone said to throw the box back into the sea. Finally, they threw the box into the sea, and the waves on the sea seemed to calm down instantly. , but I feel like something huge is swimming under the boat, bigger than our boat."

"Although we escaped from there, the boat suffered a lot of damage, and it lost power before we reached the next camp."

"Those guys just said walk from the ice to camp, and when we got here, it came."

Xue's pupils suddenly filled with horror: "It's God, and God has come to kill those mortals who dare to offend his majesty."

"You mean, that god killed them?" Chu Zihang asked.

Xue trembled all over: "Yes, I heard it singing. In the setting sun, I also heard the same singing."

Everyone who saw this couldn't help being horrified.

They all knew that it was not singing, but Long Wen!

The king's chanting of dragon texts is nothing more than releasing the spirit of speech, so the thing that changes the Arctic climate is not nature, but the spirit of speech of the Dragon King.

From the perspective of scale and scope, it is very likely that it is still a world-killing word spirit.

Caesar looked at Schneider, and Schneider also looked at Caesar, and they both nodded tacitly at the same time.

It seems that Niord was not the one who chased and killed the expedition team. Niord did not have a world-killing spirit about the ice element.

Although the identity of the giant dragon behind the story was confirmed, their mood was not much better.

The two Dragon Kings of Ocean and Water have both been resurrected, which means that the difficulty factor of their mission is directly doubled.

And the most serious problem at present is that they only brought a bullet made by the Philosopher's Stone on this trip. If the two Dragon Kings appear on the scene at the same time, they have almost no chance of winning.

Of course, they would not say such morale-damaging words, and Rebarco is also here. He represents the attitude of the entire icebreaker crew.

"Eat something." Chu Zihang in the video handed Xue a hamburger, "Take care of yourself and wait for your father to pick you up."

Xue took the hamburger and carefully looked at the perfectly fried beef patty, which was specially selected by Chu Zihang from the ingredients brought by Passy, ​​so that the child could supplement the highest quality protein.

"My father is dead, right?" She suddenly raised her head and stared at the camera blankly.

For some reason, everyone in the screening room felt terrified at that moment.

"No, your father is fine." In the video, Chu Zihang's expression remained unchanged. "He just suffered from severe frostbite, and we sent him to the hospital in Beidi Islands by helicopter for treatment."

In fact, Chu Zihang doesn't like to lie. When he first became the president of the Lionheart Club two years ago, Caesar even asked him his attitude towards him in front of him. He said bluntly in front of a group of people, "Your Acting in a distasteful manner" and so on.

But according to the ship's doctor, Xue's mental trauma is far from healed, and if she is told that her father is dead now, her mental state may deteriorate further.

So Chu Zihang didn't mind making up a white lie.

"Don't lie to me." Xue shook her head, "Father has seen God, and God will not let him go. Anyone who has seen God is dead."

Xue lowered her head and ate the hamburger with big mouthfuls.

"God will come to me too, but you shouldn't have saved me."

The video ends here.

The projection room was silent for a while, before Schneider stood up and said to Rebalco gently: "Captain Rebalco, can you give us some time to chat in private?"

Rebalco got up and left the screening room without saying a word.

As soon as Rebalco left, Schneider's expression immediately became serious, and he asked in a low voice, "How does the captain react to this video?"

"The heartbeat suddenly accelerated during certain periods of time. Xue's narration obviously aroused some associations in him, but that's all."

Caesar took it back, shook his head and said, "He is a special soldier who has received strict training and knows how to control his emotions."

"His experience is a bit similar to Xue's, but those who experienced it personally did not talk about what happened, which is very problematic."

Schneider said slowly, then turned to look at Caesar.

"You also listened to my heartbeat?"

Caesar nodded slightly.

After the sickle weasel was released, all movements in the domain would be poured into his five sense organs.

Rebalco was in his field, Schneider was too, and the heartbeats of the two were almost at the same time.

He was a little puzzled about why Schneider's heartbeat accelerated, but he didn't ask because of his identity.

But now Schneider answered his doubts, speaking softly in that hoarse voice.

"Although I haven't seen such a grand aurora and islands, I can be regarded as someone related to Leviathan... I was in Greenland nine years ago, and I witnessed the entire sea area being instantly frozen."
