While everyone's eyes are drawn to the ever-changing international shape, two people are hiding in the shadows and trying to solve the mystery of the millennium.

Kojiro Sasaki and Ruth pursue rare clues and continue to work hard at the risk of being hunted by Transformers.

Thirty or forty miles from the destination camp, the jeep bumped along a barely visible dirt road.

Ruth felt that her internal organs had been turned upside down, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Sasaki sat in the passenger seat and stared intently ahead, as they targeted a huge rainforest in the central part of the province of Vietnam, in the Southeast Asian region of the Chinese Federation.

It is Sasaki who drove the local guide Hu guide.

"We're almost there. Hu Guidao didn't know how many times he said such a thing, but every time he finished speaking, he didn't see a village.

Ruth was about to vomit bile. Sasaki is used to this kind of road, so although his face is not good-looking, at least he can't hold on.

I don't know how long it took me to finally see a few streaks of smoke in the dusk, and this time they really arrived.

The simple house, the local residents are all yellow and thin, this is a poor place.

The village chief, as the master of the village and the father of the guide Hu Dao, welcomed the two guests.

Ruth went to rest, she just couldn't hold on.

Sasaki was the only one at the dinner, during which he asked the older village chief about the equivalent exchange.

The village chief closed his eyes, and after a long time, his cloudy eyes reflected the light again.

"I did hear from my grandfather that there was an altar in the depths of the jungle with a scale on it, probably the altar of equivalent exchange you were talking about. In the past, many people in our village would go there to exchange things, eggs for salt or something......"

Sasaki was excited, the super civilization was there. The magic of the exchange, it's amazing, "And now?"

The village chief sighed, "We are too greedy, and there are some things that we cannot afford to pay. It was about 80 years ago. Someone actually wanted to be the emperor, but the price of this exchange was too great, and the population of our village at that time was three times more than it is now, but because of this, most of them died, and in the end, the person who wanted to be emperor was also killed by the angry villagers. After that, there was a rule in our village that we were not allowed to use the altar again. ”

"Village chief, can you take me to see it, I'm an archaeologist. ”

The village shook his head, "You're late, and the scales on the altar have been taken away." ”

"What?!" Sasaki was shocked, "Who has been?

"It seems to be an official from the central government, just last week. ”

Sasaki frowned, worthy of being a super empire that has dominated Asia for nearly two thousand years, and if it were their official investigation, it would be explained. According to the consistent style of the Chinese Federation, it is only natural that this kind of research will not reveal any rumors.

Damn, it's a step too late. But the place to go is still to go.

Trekking through the rainforest, Sasaki and Ruth stood in front of the altar. The ancient texts on it, as well as some antiquities, are well preserved.

Sasaki immediately threw himself into the work of translation.

The text here records a detailed experience, allowing Sasaki to see a corner of super civilization.

The war has spread to Earth, but the Maniac is still in full power, and he asks the Founders for items that can be exchanged for equal value, so that they can obtain weapons with impunity and quickly and efficiently.

Bopai is losing ground and retreating.

When the righteous side fails, the evil brings untold suffering to humanity, and then one person is summoned by an equivalent exchange item to gain magical powers known as 'alchemy'. That man formed an alliance with the Bo faction and challenged the Decepticons.

The fighting spread from one continent to another for decades. The Alchemist died, but before he died, he stole the Decepticon's equivalent exchange item and hid it. The location was recorded by him on a boulder.

The record was interrupted.

But Sasaki could still feel a sense of fear, and the sensitive word war appeared for the first time in the Transformers record.

In the past, the texts he studied were all about recording the ecology of the earth or sending contact signals, but this time he found that super civilization is far from that simple.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

Sasaki and Ruth looked up strangely at the same time, only to see a huge plane floating in the sky without a sound.

Thorn thorn thorn, cool cool cool -

The flying machine twisted its waist, and the whole thing began to deform, and finally turned into a huge machine eight or nine meters high in the sky and landed on the ground, "Human, tell me where the scales are here?!"

The machine was half-kneeling on the ground, and the machine's face was actually open, and he was buzzing to speak. The tone is inquisitive, unceremoniously.

"......" was even more shocked than the first time he saw the Jiqì person, because this Jiqì person was much bigger than that Aito.

"Human, answer quickly, don't try to deceive me Tianhuo!" It turned out to be Tianhuo, a small number of air forces in the Bo faction.

"I don't know, I'm here too!" Sasaki could still speak.

Skyfire's electronic eyes scanned Sasaki's heartbeat and found that he wasn't lying, "Human, do you know where the scales are?"

"I don't know!" Sasaki said nervously.

Tianhuo stood up, "It seems that I'm still a step too late, and the Decepticons are about to recover again." ”

"Decepticons?"

"Yes, Decepticons, they're a bunch of people with a head full of violence, and they'll stop at nothing to get there. Skyfire said, "I must sue Sù Optimus Prime, the Decepticons. ”

At this time, in the jungle in the distance, Aitor saw this qiē with his high-powered electronic eyes, and he infiltrated the Decepticons of the human world. Originally, he was going to hinder humanity from discovering the Transformers, but now it seems that his mission has failed. Bopai has come into contact with humanity. "Megatron must be reported, and that human must not be allowed to become an obstacle. ”

In fact, why Megatron is afraid of humans is not because the founder Duran is biased towards humans everywhere, so he has to be careful. Humans are not scary, it is Duran that is scary.

In a Decepticon base in Africa, a human dressed as a eunuch respectfully placed the scales in front of Megatron's eyes, "Fortunately, the scales have been obtained." ”

Megatron was really happy to see the scales regained, "Soon there will be countless weapons to equip the Decepticons, and the end of the Autobots has arrived." ”

The eunuch just stood silently, looking heartfelt. Their family has been an Earth traitor who obeys the orders of the Decepticons for hundreds of years, and it is their duty to serve the Decepticons.

In Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Federation, Optimus Prime received the news of Tianhuo and gave Tianhuo an order to bring Sasaki and Ruth to him.

In his view, humans are allies, and although a few have taken refuge in the Decepticons, most people can still be trusted. Optimus Prime has never changed.
