Chapter 4: The Myth of the Stone
Kurarajima, the center of open-pit mining.
When Lu Xuan came here with the victory team, it was surrounded by various advanced instruments inside and out.
The guards on the third floor and the outer three floors surrounded the place, and they would never let go of even a single fly in and out of it.
"Is this it?"
After confirming that this was the destination of this trip, Zong Fang turned his head and asked Lu Xuan.
Because in Zongfang's view, the Galvin Group sent Lu Xuan over purely to supervise the implementation of the task of the victory team.
After all, this is the territory of the Gavin Group, even if it is to look good, the Galvin Group has to send someone to keep an eye on it.
"That's right, this is it."
Hearing Zong Fang's question, Lu Xuan nodded very calmly.
This mature scene far beyond his age made Xincheng and Lina couldn't help but be stunned.
At the same time, the two finally understood why President Tony would train this fifteen-year-old boy as his successor.
"Have you read the information? Aren't you afraid? ”
Under Da Gu's shocked gaze, he saw Lina pacing to Lu Xuan's side, and then reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
"What's so scary about that?"
Turning his head to look at Da Gu, who was a little overwhelmed, Lu Xuan suddenly laughed.
"If I had been afraid, I wouldn't have come with you."
"What exactly caused the workers to be petrified is still an unsolved mystery."
"I'm sure if the Victory Team is here, we'll be able to find out the truth about that thing."
Hearing this, Xincheng, who came forward, took over the conversation and said.
"As far as I know, it seems that there are still a few workers who have not been found, right?"
"Aren't you afraid of ending up with them?"
With a little curiosity, Xincheng wanted to know whether the young man in front of him was really not afraid, or if he was simply bluffing.
"But haven't more workers been found?"
Not frightened by the words formed, Lu Xuan just calmly asked rhetorically.
"If you just cold up an accident here out of fear, that's not the style of the Kelvins."
"After all, this is the origin of memory metal, and if you don't figure out what's going on here, it will seriously affect the production of memory metal."
"Since I am the president's intended successor, it is my duty to maintain the normal operation of the Kelvine Group."
"Moreover, without any preparation at the beginning of the accident, we were able to evacuate people and rescue workers in time......"
"In the current situation of being well prepared, the possibility of encountering danger is actually unlikely."
Lu Xuan's words were high-sounding and reasonable, and once again stunned Xincheng and Lina.
In the case of not being sure how sincere Lu Xuan's words were.
The two had to look at each other, only to feel that they had a new understanding of the young man in front of them.
The other party is not only a little mature, but also sleek and sophisticated in all aspects of dealing with people.
If it weren't for the other party's age, he wouldn't look that old.
Xincheng even thinks that he is facing an old fox who has been in charge of the Galvin Group for many years.
At this time, the front-line Munakata also got first-hand information from nearby researchers, and learned about the general course of the entire incident.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Before it was taken over by the Galvins, Kurara Island was actually inhabited by villagers.
Most of the villagers have settled on the island for hundreds of years, and most of them have become quarry miners, with only a few young people volunteering to seek new jobs in the big cities.
After the Kelvain Group took over the wet market on Kurara Island, it was only natural that these residents became employees of the Kelvin.
Just for the convenience of management, but also for confidentiality.
The remaining villagers who did not want to work in the Galvinic Group were moved out of Kurara Island one after another.
Since then, a variety of state-of-the-art equipment and instruments have been introduced to the quarry, and the efficiency of the quarry has increased exponentially.
However, as the excavation progressed, more than one employee mentioned that there seemed to be some kind of terrifying sound coming from the quarry's cavern.
Especially as mining efficiency has skyrocketed, that terrifying sound has become more and more obvious and appears more and more frequently.
Until that day, a group of staff members ran out of the mine in a panic, shouting "Gakuma is out!" as they ran. Gakuma is out! ”
By the time management realizes the seriousness of the problem and sends rescuers into the mine.
Most of the employees in the mine have been reduced to stone statues, and only a few lucky ones have escaped in time.
Thus, this supernatural phenomenon of "human petrification" was known to the victorious team.
According to the investigation and questioning after the incident, it was revealed that the "Kakuma" in the mouth of the staff was actually a myth and legend that has existed on Kurara Island for a long time.
In the myths and legends of Kurarashima, there was originally an ancient god called Kakuma on this island.
Born in the abyss, this god lurks underground, possessing the power to petrify all things.
Not only that, but Gakuma also has a huge size that ordinary people can't imagine, and is a symbol of natural disasters and earthquakes.
According to myths and legends, every appearance of Gakuma caused the island to shake the ground and shake the mountains.
However, this does not mean that Gakuma is an evil god and a demon.
On the contrary, in the myths and legends of Kurarajima, Kakuma is the patron deity of the entire island, and is worshipped by the villagers who live on the island all year round.
For generations, generations of the island's elders, the island's elders have been telling the story of Gakuma to the young.
In the story told by the old man, the original islanders actually came to Kurara Island to escape the war, and they brought faith and prosperity to the small island.
As the patron saint of the island, Gakuma defended the islanders from foreign invasions, causing tsunamis and earthquakes to sink intruders who tried to approach the island.
As a result, after years of getting along, Gakuma and the islanders have formed a wonderful symbiotic relationship.
Gakuma provided shelter to the islanders, who mined the stones he liked to eat for him.
Yes, the god of Kurara Island likes to eat stones, and there are all kinds of different flavors of stones.
On this small island, only those humans who have offended the gods will be turned into real stones by the angry Gakuma to suffer eternal punishment.
This is the myth of the stone, a popular myth on this small island.
