Chapter 8 Legends are legends after all!
"It's finally our time," said a guest carrying a backpack and stood up to take the plate.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Reiko apologized.

"It's okay." He sat down instead, and said to his friend across the wooden table, "Sanji, try it quickly, I guarantee you will come again next time."

The guest named Sanji raised the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the roll of shredded meat and put it in his mouth. He put his left hand on his chin to prevent the shredded meat from falling to the ground.

"Yeah. This tastes great. Gongtian, I'm sorry for your previous doubts."

"It's not a big deal. If you find any delicious restaurant next time, remember to call me."

"I think this Akiyama Sushi is the best one, nothing else."

"..."

Listening to the compliments from the guests, a smile suddenly appeared on Reiko's face. She walked confidently and left with the grilled squid from table No. [-].

……

As workers in the mines on Jiuliang Island continued to have accidents, the matter suddenly became more and more serious.

The workers were all frightened and did not dare to dig deep underground, for fear that they would be turned into hard stones by the legendary Jakuma.

As the incident unfolded, a worker finally couldn't bear the fear in his heart and reported the case to the TPG Investigation Bureau.

Now, the investigation has been carried out for two days.

Investigators in blue uniforms, white gloves and blue helmets also set up a large tent in the open pit.

Every day, investigators came out of the tent with a white face and went back with a dark face.

A chubby worker with a black face ran over anxiously, grabbed an investigator by the collar and asked angrily, "Look, you've been investigating the land for so long, have you found any results?"

These few days can be said to be the most difficult days in the mine.

All the miners had trouble sleeping and eating, for fear that they would be turned into stone by those Jakumar when they went down the mine.

"Let go first!", the clothes the investigators were wearing were tights, but being grabbed by the workers, they became even tighter, and even made people breathless.

After the worker let go, the investigator took a few deep breaths.

An investigator beside him stopped his pen and explained angrily: "We are still investigating! There is no definite conclusion yet. There is no use in rushing!"

"We know this, we just want to know what's going on inside." Another absentee asked patiently.

"We still have several absentees inside!" A thin absenteeism looked worried.

"There is no one in there," an investigator who was investigating in the deep mine reported.

"This is impossible! There is a strong life reaction below." The investigator who stayed in the tent and watched the computer images closely retorted, looking at the yellow dots that were constantly flashing on the screen.

The director in the tent picked up the microphone and said, "The absentees may be stuck on the other side of the rock. Hurry up and look for it, maybe there is still time."

"Understood." An underground investigator picked up the microphone and responded.

The three investigators searched in the dark quarry, where the miner's lamp illuminated were dark stones.

"Hey," the investigator put down the microphone that had lost the signal, thinking, "Probably the magnetic field here is too strong, interfering with the signal source."

A few people didn't take it seriously.

As he was walking, a double fork suddenly appeared in front of him.

Time is undoubtedly the most powerful corrosive product, not one of them.

The fork on the left is impressively connected to a huge karst cave corroded by the years, and the stone wall is covered with stalactites like sharp knives.

The fork on the right is a very obvious trace of artificial excavation. Under the illumination of the searchlight, the powerful scratches are suddenly revealed.

Despite the searchlights in the mine, it still looks dark and deep.

There seemed to be a vent in the cave, blowing a hot wind!
The investigator thought that this might have been dug by miners, and did not pay much attention to the strange sight in the cave.

"Hey, you go over there, I'll go over here," one of the investigators patted the other investigator on the shoulder.

Both investigators wore searchlights on their heads and life detectors in both hands, and both of them walked cautiously into the cave.

……

Outside the quarry, a worried-faced miner captain led a group of equally worried miners to the temporary tent set up by the investigators.

"Hello investigator, how is the situation inside?"

"Everyone, please wait patiently. We are working hard to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon."

"There must be no survivors." A absentee said sadly, bowing his head.

Another absentee wiped his tears sadly and said, "Everyone must have been turned into stone by Jakuma."

"Gakumar?" The investigator looked puzzled.

"Correct!"

Before the miners could explain what Gakuma was, the mine shift leader hurried over and shouted angrily at the miners: "What are you guys doing! Why don't you hurry up and dig!"

The absentee team leader in gray pulled away the gathered absentees, cursing: "Why do you still have time to gossip here! Why don't you go to work quickly."

"Excuse me, what happened to Jakumar?" The investigator directly asked Kuang Shang's team leader.

"There is a legend on this Jiuliang Island. It is said that there is a Jakuma who can produce stones." Other absentees also nodded at what the experienced absentee leader said.

“But with the destruction of humans and excessive mining of stone mines, even Gakuma’s own food was dug away by humans.

These Jakuma lost the stones on which they lived, so Jakuma became angry and turned all the humans he saw into stones. "

"Stop talking nonsense! Legends are legends after all! Don't use this reason as an excuse for you to sneak in!"

The absentee leader continued to scold: "Jakuma! Jakuma! You still have to rely on mining for a living! Don't you still have to live on stones! Don't talk like it's none of your business!"

The absentee leader turned to the investigator and said angrily: "I don't know who called you here, but our minerals have nothing to do with your United Earth Defense Organization!"

"You guys are real! You play tricks all day long! If you have something to do, just talk about Jakuma, hurry up and go to work!"

"There really is Jakuma!"

"There really is Jakuma!"

"Go to work quickly! Go!", the anger of the miner leader also disappeared with the crowd.

……

Underground mineral veins, the investigators who were advancing suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" Another investigator stepped forward and asked.

"Look," just as he raised the tester in his hand, a scream suddenly sounded in the mine.

The two looked at each other, and turned their heads to look back at the same time, and saw a big hand grabbing an investigator's body and pulling it towards the crack in the ground.

"Harada!" The investigator ignored the life detector in his hand and immediately ran to the big hand in an attempt to rescue the captured investigator.

When he saw the true face of the monster, he immediately let out a scream.

It was terrible!What a big horn!What a big face!

The investigator turned around and ran. Before he could take two steps, he was turned into a stone by a blue light.

"What a disgusting human being!" The huge horn just surfaced and dived back into the ground without making any waves.

"Ah!", the only investigator alive at the scene saw his companion turn into stone for a moment.

He dropped the miner's lamp and the life detector in his hand, and ran towards the exit.
