Pakistan.

Pakistan is a brand new country that separated from India in 1947, but while the Japanese were still living primitive lives, civilizations were born here, such as the historic Gillas petroglyphs, and the Pakistani mountain town of Djilas is famous for its ancient petroglyphs.

From the capital Islamabad, drive north along the Indus River for about 420 kilometers to reach the "Djilas I" rock art site.

On the dark and smooth rocks on both sides of the riverbank, the local ancestors left us a broad life style of early human society through simple rock paintings.

Carved into a huge rock, the Gylas petroglyphs still lie quietly on the banks of the Indus River waiting to be seen. It is like an open-air museum, telling the people who come and go about the long history of the Indus civilization.

Another example is the archaeological site of Mohenjo Daro.

Located in Larkana County, Sindh Province in southern Pakistan, it is the site of the Indus Valley Civilization (2350-1750 BC) that best represents the culture and art of that time. The neatly laid out city is divided into large and small blocks by wide, straight streets, and the whole city has a very complete sewer system.

Not only these, but also the origin of Indian civilization, the Indus Valley, although the Indus River is in the country of Pakistan, India does not lose the title of "Four Ancient Civilizations". After all, it is an indisputable fact that India created the splendid Indus River civilization around 2000 B.C., and in the final analysis, Pakistan is just a country separated from ancient India.

This is the country that inherited the 5,000-year-old civilization of the Indian continent, Pakistan.

Joseph and the others set out from Karachi, even if they crossed the international line, they still inevitably wanted the hardships of being wanted, so in order not to reveal their location, they had to buy a new car to find a hotel elsewhere.

The car quickly drove into the canyon, and the dense fog near it was like a demon that confused the eyes of humans, filling the environment with a terrifying atmosphere, and occasionally the crows could be heard, but more often than not, the air resistance was like the cry of a geist.

Joseph caught a glimpse of Ragnar's school uniform, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Jotaro, it's a shame that you can get a Japanese student uniform here in Pakistan, even the size is just right." ”

"It's still 100% wool. Ragnar took the next sentence for Joseph.

Abdel noticed that the fog around him was getting thicker, and for the sake of safety, he leaned his head on Polunarev's shoulder and asked, "Polunarev, are you okay driving?" ”

"Ah, it's a little dangerous. Poruna Rev responded to her.

The car drove through a narrow road, and the tires brushed against the corners of the cliffs, because the tires pressed the ground too hard, and a few stones fell from the corners.

"After all, there is a cliff next to it, and there is no protective fence, so as an old driver, I will never overturn halfway. Poluna Rev patted her chest proudly and packed the tickets to the passengers behind her.

The others didn't have any opinions, and Poluna Reev concentrated on driving.

When the car drove to the exit of the canyon, the fog gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight reflected from the sky became dim after a while, like a light bulb whose voltage had become unstable for a long time.

As the fog cleared, everyone also saw the buildings in the distance, and the low piers were really a little ugly.

"The fog is coming from the other side. ”

Joseph took out a delicate pocket watch in his duffel bag, although the shell was re-gilded, everything was still so intact, but in fact this pocket watch had been with Joseph for decades.

The hand pointed to 2:55, and when I looked at the sky, it was dark, and I couldn't imagine what was going on here.

"I remember it's still noon...... wonder how the sky is so dark?"

"I guess it's going to rain, so let's find a hotel in the town over there today." Poruna Reev said.

"What kind of good hotel?" said Hanakyonin, like a curious baby.

"Do you need to say it?There must be a hotel with a good toilet~ I can't adapt to the paperless toilet here in Indonesia......" Poluna Rev sighed, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"I think that's more scientific, saving paper or something. Abdel said.

"It's a scientific yarn! Who would wipe it with their hands if it's so dirty!"

The car drove quickly into the town, and the white fog grew thicker and thicker as it had just entered the canyon, which made the Egyptian crane group a little puzzled.

Although there were residents, none of them spoke, not even the most basic communication, the dead silence, bringing a slight sense of oppression, coupled with the dim sky, combined with the charming fog, created an unusual atmosphere.

Ragnar casually looked around his surroundings, the thick fog made him feel a little uncomfortable, and on the side of the dirt road, he faintly saw a black object, and if he looked closely, it turned out to be the corpse of a dog wrapped in a bag.

(That was just now...... A dog's carcass?)" Ragnar thought there must be something wrong with the corpse's appearance.

(It looks like it should be.) Jotaro also came to Ragnar's mind.

(Could it be that there are enemies here too?)"

(Don't jump to conclusions, let's see what happens.) Jotaro interrupted Ragnar's train of thought.

"(By the way, does Mr. Jotaro want to keep in touch with me......)"

(I'd like to see how you use your stand-in, so I'll keep in touch with you as a person.) ）”

(Oh...... ）”

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Jotaro, what's wrong?" Joseph looked surprised when he saw Ragnar.

"No, nothing. Ragnar lowered his hat and returned to his usual coldness.

Poluna Rev slowed down the speed of the car, after all, it was in the town, and the street market was naturally very narrow, in case of a traffic jam it would be bad.

The floor is clean, there is not a trace of garbage, the shops in the market are also clean, all the way to watch the strange eyes of the people who live here, while looking for a hotel, I also admire that the environment here is much better than other places.

"It's a clean town, with a population of about a few thousand. Abdel said.

Passing by a hotel, Huajingin called Poruna Reev to stop, pointed to the hotel and said to them: "It's not a way to find it like this, so let's inquire about the location of the hotel at the hotel over there." ”

"That's a good idea, I don't like to waste time. Joseph opened the door and got out of the car, and the others got out of the car one after another.

There was no bustling crowd on the street, only a sparse crowd, and it seemed that no one knew anyone, and even if they bumped into someone, they didn't say a word of apology.

"It's a very quiet town, and most of the towns I've mentioned before are bustling places. Poluna Reev was not used to such silent scenes.

"It's foggy. Joseph said.

"No, it's not just fogging. Abdel retorted.

"Alright then, you guys learn. Joseph raised his thumb and pointed at himself, smiling confidently, "That's how the ****** world from west of Pakistan greets!"

Joseph's target was the waiter stationed in front of the hotel, and it was a bit unbearable to see the waiter's cold face.

"First of all, ...... with a smile on your face"

Joseph smiled literally, then turned to greet the waiter:

"Assalamualainkum~"

Ordinary men will respond enthusiastically whenever they see a beautiful woman greeting him, but this waiter didn't, just kept a cold expression and didn't speak.

"Uh......" Joseph felt that his greeting was a little inappropriate.

Smack-

The waiter forcefully flipped the open sign to CLOSED, as if to say, "I'm sorry that our store is closed" or something.

"I said that...... There's no need to close the door suddenly, we just want to ask something, is there a hotel in this town?" Joseph asked him in a softer tone.

The "......" waiter still didn't respond.

"Did you hear that......?" Joseph thought he couldn't hear, and prompted him with a phone call.

"I don't know. The waiter finally responded, but just threw down the sentence and turned back to the hotel.

"Hey, wait a minute, I don't know what it means!" Joseph just wanted to catch up and ask him again, but unexpectedly found two cockroaches with black shells crawling out of the waiter's clothes, and the cockroaches were lying lazily on the back of the waiter, looking a little disgusting.

"Uh...... Cockroaches?"

Joseph wiped his eyes, and by the time he was about to find out, the waiter had already disappeared into the fog.

"What's going on, that uncle, is it my delusion......?"

"It must be that your pronunciation is so ugly that people must not have heard it. Poluna Rev saw that Joseph had failed to ask for directions, and had no choice but to go out in person (in her own opinion).

Poruna Rev targeted the passers-by sitting next to the telephone pole behind her.

"I'm going to ask the guy sitting over there. Poluna Rev walked over.

The passer-by lowered his head weakly, and since his head was covered with a turban, Porunarev did not look closely at his face.

"I'm sorry, uncle, a few of us are looking for a hotel. Polunarev rubbed her head over, "It's better to have a clean toilet in a hotel, you can ...... Huh?!"

Polunarev saw that the passer-by's mouth was wide open, his long tongue was sticking out, and his eyes were wide, and a few bloodshot streaks appeared, as if he was about to shoot out all the eyeballs.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Hey. Polunarev pushed the passer-by, but what he didn't expect was that the passerby's body was light to death, and he fell down with a light push, his face was terrified at the moment, as if he had seen something terrible and his face became distorted, without any breathing, and it looked like he was dead.

At the same time, two more cyan striped geckos ran out of his mouth, and the gecko that crawled out of his mouth quickly crawled away, like a prisoner fleeing from an accident.

"Nani×5?!" everyone was stunned.

"Dead! Dead with a look of horror!" Abdel walked up to check his pulse, and it was clear that the passerby was indeed dead.

"What is the cause of death? heart palsy, cerebral infarction? But it doesn't seem to be these symptoms...... "Hanakyoin looked directly at the fallen passerby with a calm gaze, and many doubts lingered in her heart.

"It doesn't seem to be a simple palsy of the heart. Ragnar saw an automatic pistol in the hands of passers-by and picked it up to show Joseph and them, "He had a gun in his hand, and he had just fired it." ”

The muzzle of this pistol also emitted white smoke, which proves Ragnar's claim.

"There was a shot not long ago, probably two or five minutes ago, a little bit before we got to town, anyway. From this, Ragnar deduced the time of the crime.

"Is it suicide? Suicide by swallowing a gun?" asked Porunarev.

"No, no, I guess look at it, the body is not injured, and there is no bleeding at all. Abdel examined the injuries of the passerby and found that there was no sign of a blow on his body.

"Then why did he die? Look at his face, his expression is distorted, as if he is screaming in extreme terror. ”

"I don't understand...... Joseph stroked his chin, "what is this man shooting with a gun, what the hell is going on?"

"Didn't the townspeople notice?" Hanakyoin searched for traces of the inhabitants, and finally found a woman passing by.

"That one over there, I'm sorry, someone is dead here, please call the police quickly. ”

When the woman heard Hanakyoin's request, she turned her head, and what was enough to surprise Hanakyoin was that the woman's face didn't know what was sticking to it, and a large yellow acne squirted a little grease from time to time.

(Okay...... It's disgusting......!)" Hanakyonin, as a girl who loves beauty, naturally wanted to vomit when she saw such a woman, but she couldn't help it.

"It's rude. The woman seemed to notice that Hanakyoin was looking at her face, so she blocked it with her clothes, "I have a little acne on my face, but are you looking for something from me?"

"Ah, I said I wanted you to call the police. ”

"Call the police, why do you call the police?" the woman no longer covered her face, but held out a finger to dig out the acne and ...... Eaten!

(Hmm......! No...... I'm going to throw up!)" A strong feeling of nausea churned in Hanakyoin's stomach, and it was too unappetizing to dig up the acne and eat it or something.

The woman moved her gaze to the passerby who fell to the ground behind Huajingyuan, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, really, someone is dead, so what do you want me to do?"

"Didn't you say it, let you call the police quickly!" Huajingyuan couldn't stand this woman who was pretending to be stupid.

"Okay, okay, call the police, I know. The woman turned slowly and left Hanakyoin's line of sight.

"......" Hanakyoin observes the surrounding residents, most of whom are familiar with this kind of thing, as if they don't take human life seriously.

"No one noticed, and the people here are even more indifferent than people in big cities like New York and Tokyo. ”

"How's it going?" Ragnar asked as he walked up to Hanakyoin.

"Although the matter of calling the police has been settled...... But I'm still a little worried. ”

A white-furred puppy passed by Ragnar's feet, and Ragnar looked down at the puppy, which was very similar to the puppy corpse in his memory.

"(Is that the puppy?)" Ragnar asked Jotaro.

(It's strange that there's no way there's no way to have creatures that look exactly the same, unless they're twins.) Jotaro didn't seem to be able to find an answer.

(Look at the situation, maybe you can find a clue...... ）”

(Well, do as I say.) ）”

"Everyone, look at the sky!" Porunarev pointed to the sky, looking surprised.

The fog spread more and more, and the whole town seemed to be flooded by the fog, and the fog in the air gathered into a ball, conjuring up a terrifying skeletal face, and in this case, I knew that it was the enemy's stand-in messenger who automatically came to the door.
