"Very well, I knew you wouldn't say no." Fast nodded in satisfaction and shoved the snuffed cigarette into the ashtray.

"Then when are we going to go down the pyramids?" Shamingway asked.

"Don't worry," Fast said slowly, "according to our judgment, only a visionary above the fifth order can open the inverted pyramid, otherwise you will most likely end up like that old Frenchman, and your spiritual power will be exhausted and you will die." ”

"Understood, then I will reach the fifth order as soon as possible." Xia Mingwei took a deep breath.

"Yes, you just need to concentrate on your practice." Fast lifts the coffee cup, pours freshly brewed hot water into the cup, and then takes the ground coffee from the jar and sprinkles it in.

"If you guys need to study my sequence, I'll do my best to cooperate."

"There's a lot of time to come." Fast stirred the coffee with a spoon, "What we're more curious about than this...... Why did you, who are only nine years old, survive from the sword of Surtr? ”

"What do you mean......" Xia Mingwei's face changed slightly, he did think about why he was the only one in the village and town at that time who survived the attack of the flame giant.

"Yes, you may have awakened to the utopian sequence at the age of nine," Faster tapped the rim of his coffee cup with a spoon, sweeping away the charred water, "and that's how you fought against Surtre at the time." ”

"But even so......," said Xia Mingwei hesitantly, "I have no impression of it at all. ”

"Anyway," Fast took a sip of his coffee, "and that's the biggest mystery about you, and that's what we'll try to find out from you in the future." ”

.........

..........

Tokyo, Japan, church.

"Robert, how long are you going to sleep?"

Xia Mingwei opened his eyes and found himself lying on top of the dome of the church, the cold midday sun shining on his cheeks, and the snowflakes streaked across his cheeks, with a hint of coldness.

He sat up slowly, holding on to his sore parietal bone, and reached for the pocket of his coat, where he still had the two rough stones.

Raise your head and look ahead.

The sky was a dull blue, the tracks in the distance were "dangling" by trams, and there were many crows in Japan, and these swarthy birds folded their wings and stayed on the telephone poles near the church, and from time to time they cast their crimson eyes at Xia Mingwei, and let out a hoarse call with their beaks open.

Outside the church's fence, the Shinjuku district's high-rise buildings display advertisements on huge LED screens, and the neon lights are much dimmer during the day than at night.

Bow your head and look down.

Rin Kiyotake was sitting on the windowsill of the attic reading a book.

She changed into a black dress, and her cold little face looked focused, as if she had been watching here for a long time, but she did not disturb Xia Mingwei, who was sleeping on the top of the church.

In terms of standard aesthetics, Rin Kiyotake's appearance is impeccable, and in Japan, where marketing methods are almost perverted, it is not an exaggeration that she may be called a beautiful girl who meets once in a thousand years, but Xia Mingwei knows that this beautiful girl may become an eight-headed and eight-tailed monster at any time, and it will overturn the entire Tokyo city in the near future.

"What time is it?" Xia Mingwei asked.

"One o'clock in the afternoon." Rin Kiyotake flipped the pages of the book, "The church is closed today, so you escaped." ”

"Why did I fall asleep on the roof of the church last night?" Xia Mingwei held on to the parietal bone.

"How long are you going to stay on it?" Rin Kiyotake closed the book, "Come down, I'll take you to a place." With that, she got up from the windowsill and went back to the attic.

"Where are you going?" Xia Mingwei fell from the roof to the windowsill, bent down into the cramped attic, and walked with Kiyotake Rin to the second floor of the church.

"Secret." Qing Zhu Rin's pace was brisk, Xia Mingwei shrugged his shoulders, he had only been here for two days, and he was already very familiar with the strange character of this little witch.

Soon they arrived at the library on the second floor of the church, where Kiyotake Rin walked past the bookshelf on the left, tapped the books he passed by with his white fingers, and then stopped in front of the fifth shelf.

"What are you going to do?" Shamingway asked.

Without replying, Rin Kiyotake pulled out the fifth book from the fifth shelf, and the book was taken out, revealing a wall with a tiny array carved into it.

She reached out and touched the array, which suddenly glowed, and in an instant, the wall in the corner of the library suddenly opened the entrance to a dark room.

Xia Mingwei raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the dark room, the configuration inside was not much different from the library, and he could see that there were also many books stored.

"Come with me, Robot, here's something Anubis left behind." Rin Kiyotake put her hands behind her back and swept past him.

"The information left by Anubis ......" Xia Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and then moved towards the dark room.

"Yes, for example, in the transcript of the afterlife meeting that was opened before, you can see what those myth carriers are quietly discussing."

Xia Mingwei stepped into the dark room, the torch in the pit of the wall swayed faintly, reflecting his cheeks a little pale, and as far as the eye could see, the dark room was densely packed with all kinds of books.

Rin Kiyotake stopped at one of the columns, and the covers of the five books on the front shelf were cast in bronze and engraved with tiny patterns that were difficult to count: blue dragons, red dragons, sacred birds, gods, giants, and so on......

"What are these?" Xia Mingwei asked slowly.

"The records of the Afterlife Society, Anubis destroyed some before, but there are still five copies left." Rin Kiyotake picked up one of them.

"These patterns on the cover represent the mythical carriers of the afterlife, right?" Xia Mingwei stared at the book engraved with the fiery red giant.

"That's right," Kiyotake Rin picked up one of them and looked down at the cover, "For example, in this book, the people who participated in this afterlife meeting were Poseidon, Zeus, the sun god Ra, and Anubis himself. ”

"And who is this giant with fire burning on his body?" Xia Mingwei said, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and picked up the only book of the Afterlife Record engraved with the "Yan Ju" pattern on the cover.

Qingzhu Rin didn't even look at it, and pronounced a name: "Flame Giant Surtr." ”
