Drop-boom!!

With a loud bang, the huge impact caused by the bomb explosion accompanied by a heat wave towards Zhou Jialiang, who was running towards the shelf, obviously the door had been smashed, and it could be vaguely seen from the gradually receding smoke that not only the door, but even the entire wall was blown out of a huge hole.

"Buzzing ......" fell to the ground at this time Zhou Jialiang only felt that his tinnitus was serious, and his consciousness was gradually lost, he dimly saw that Teramon, Clal, and Tetsuko were being dragged away by those people one by one, at this time there was a black shadow coming towards him, and dragged himself out of the storage room in the same way, he wanted to resist, he wanted to save his companion with all his might, but his body had long since disobeyed the call, he was unwilling, but there was no way, his eyes were getting heavier and heavier, and Zhou Jialiang's last remaining consciousness finally ceased to exist......

Five days ago, Turin, Italy

Zhou Jialiang, a Chinese teenager, rode his white Bianchi mountain bike through Verma Street, and the continuous rainy weather finally came to an end this weekend, and the warm sunshine on the road surface that had not yet dried also made people feel a little warm.

This street is the busiest street in Turin, with almost all the city's famous buildings, cafés and shopping malls concentrated nearby, and their Gothic architecture showcases the city's unique culture since the Renaissance.

"Week! Over here! A white boy with blond hair and blue eyes, the same age as Zhou Jia, stood in Piazza San Carlo in the middle of Veroma Street, waving to Zhou Jialiang, who was riding all the way.

Zhou Jialiang skillfully swung his tail in front of him, stepped on the ground, and stopped the bicycle: "Hey, Claire, what's so urgent?" Could it be that there is a Juventus game today? ”

"Please, don't worry about watching the game." Claire poked her backpack with her thumb, "I don't think we're close to becoming rich!" ”

The two then went to a two-room café near the square, which was an industrial-style shop with white brick walls, dark wood furniture, and black wrought iron.

"What do you need?" A well-built young white waitress asked with her trademark smile.

"Uh, two glasses of orange juice, thank you."

After the waiter left, Claire carefully unzipped her backpack.

"What do you see I've found?!" Claire pulled out a copy of Lui's men's leisure magazine from her backpack.

"This ...... Is that your key discovery? ”

"No, no, no, that's not the point." Claire flipped through the magazine, and there was a piece of paper slightly smaller than the magazine, which seemed to have been torn from a notebook, and judging by the yellowing, it must have been some years.

"Zhou, what do you think this is?" Claire handed the paper to Zhou Jialiang, "Does it look like a treasure map?" ”

Zhou Jialiang carefully looked at the yellowed paper, with strange patterns outlined in blue ink, and a few scribbled words below, the pattern was obviously the way the contour topographic map was drawn, and the strange thing was that there was no corresponding text on it, but the coastline and the shape of each island were drawn very carefully, one of the islands was marked with a pentagram, which seemed to be the focus of this picture, and then looked at the text below, it was very scribbled English, and I could only roughly understand a few words: demon, degenerate, gate......

"Where did it come from?" Zhou Jialiang asked, and at this time, two cups of freshly squeezed orange juice had been served.

"As you know, my family is going to move in the past two days, so I've been busy sorting out some things for the family." Claire took a sip of orange juice, "You know that loft of groceries in my house, right?" I was cleaning up that attic yesterday, hey, what a mess in there, if my mom hadn't given me 10 euros I wouldn't have bothered to take care of it, the damn dust would have choked people to death......"

"Getting to the point." Zhou Jialiang put down the paper and picked up the cup in his hand.

"Don't worry, man, guess what." Cloral paused, and said mysteriously, "I didn't take a few steps up the stairs - I stepped on a big hole in the attic floor!" ”

"Okay, and then what?"

"Hey, why didn't you ask me if I was hurt or something?" Clair was slightly dissatisfied.

"But aren't you in front of me now?" Zhou Jialiang drank the orange juice in his hand.

"Oh, well, I was really scared out of a cold sweat at that time, thinking that I would fall downstairs and fall into a cripple, but at this time I found that I seemed to be stepping on a soft thing, at first I thought it was a dead mouse or something, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be a thick brown paper bag, and it was wrapped in several layers, and the bundle was quite strong, I was thinking that it must contain something terrible, could it be my father's private money? I didn't expect to open it and look at it - it's this paper! ”

"And then you think it's a treasure map, and you're going to find out about it, and finally get the treasure and become a rich man?" Han Jialiang rolled his eyes, with a look of disdain, "I think you must have watched too many pirate movies, although this picture does look quite ancient, but don't forget that today's superb old-age technology can make new things into antiques, and can even be taken to museums or auctions to confuse the real thing, or where is the fake?" ”

"I knew you wouldn't believe it, but there was one person who agreed with me." Claire pursed his mouth and motioned behind Zhou Jialiang, "He's here." ”

"Hi Zhou! Long time no see. How are you doing? A familiar middle-aged man's deep voice sounded behind Zhou Jialiang, and Zhou Jialiang turned his head away.

"Mr. Teramon? How are you? Zhou Jialiang looked surprised.

Terramon is a good friend of Krar's father, and also a lifelong friend of Zhou Jialiang and Krar, a Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University in the United States, and later returned to Italy for various reasons to set up his own institute. But he never revealed his research projects to anyone around him, and Zhou Jialiang and Clall were no exception.

"What do you want to do? How about Crett? Claire was beckoning the waitress over.

"That sounds like a good idea." Terramon sat down slowly beside Clar, "But I think Rexret is a better fit for me right now." ”

"Waiter, a glass of Lux."

"Okay, please wait."

"By the way, you've seen this picture too? Found it credible? Zhou Jialiang pointed to the map and stared at Teramon with a puzzled expression, at least he thought it was inconceivable that an authoritative doctor of physics would believe in a so-called treasure map.
