Final Trial of Mankind

He waited until the plane took off before he finally made a move, spreading the jet-black shadow wings behind him, Mu Chen leaped up, straight up vertically in one breath, and flew to a position higher than the plane.

Then he carefully landed on the top of the plane, fixed himself on the plane, and just started his smuggling.

Ordinary people do not know how to smuggle, even if ordinary people smuggle, it is impossible to smuggle in this way. This is the double meaning of "can't do it".

Then he began to use the degraded version of natural integration to hide his aura, and even his body shape, waiting for the slow flight of the plane (compared to him) until the airport of Gozo Island .

--------------------------------

The island floats almost in the middle of the Mediterranean.

The island is called Gozo.

It is a part of the Republic of Malta in Europe and an island well-known as a tourist attraction. The changing coastline has given birth to a beautiful landscape. The contrast between the gray cliffs and the blue ocean has fascinated a large number of tourists.

At the same time, Gozo is also known as the island of ruins.

All over the island, there are numerous underground tombs, ring columns, and megalithic buildings before the Neolithic period, which are known as the oldest human beings.

It was built by what kind of people, or what kind of gods it was dedicated to, and it is still surrounded by many mysteries.

Akatsuki came to the Italian peninsula, the airport of the Dominion Rome, in the spring of mid-March, because he was going to Malta, an island country in the Mediterranean, so he came here to change planes.

There was only one traveler, the younger sister Xiao Nagisa, and the mother who was traveling with them before was separated from Gucheng and the others when they passed through Hong Kong.

Gucheng had just graduated from elementary school, and Nagisa was one year younger than Gucheng. Generally speaking, this was not the age at which the two could hang out in foreign countries, but Xiaojia's situation was a little special.

The mother who works in the multi-national company MAR spends almost half of the year overseas due to work, and the father is stranded in Malta because of the discovery of the remains three months ago——

Kojou, who was caught in the middle of his parents who were too globalized, they had traveled overseas many times before, but this time they were called by their father to come here from far away Japan.

"Wow...!"

As soon as 11-year-old Xiao Nagisa entered the lobby of the airport, she looked around and cheered.

"Look, Kojo-kun. It's a foreign country, a foreign country! There are many foreigners! The billboards are also full of foreign languages! It's been a long time since I saw this atmosphere!"

"Well, it's because it's a foreign country... In other words, we are foreigners here!" Gucheng muttered in a childish voice while dragging the salute for two people.

Is it a reaction to being bored in the plane for a long time? Nagisa is in high spirits. Because of her waist-length black hair, she is very conspicuous, but even if she is not, she is very conspicuous, and she feels that she is being stared at by the people around her. , Gucheng was somehow embarrassed.

"What's the matter, Kojo-kun? I'm so lethargic. Ah, I found a small stall! It looks delicious! Coffee biscuits! I want coffee biscuits! 4! 4! (クワットロ Italian)"

Nagisa tightly held the pocket money she had just exchanged, and ran to the canteen in the airport, insisting on asking for four to the clerk who suggested two, and then began to bargain in unclear Italian.

"...I'm starting to get used to it!"

After finishing shopping, Nagisa was asked by other travelers to take pictures together when she looked away for a moment in the ancient city, and she complied until it was perfect (referring to taking pictures).

"You're really energetic—" Gucheng stared at his sister who had finally returned, and couldn't help but sigh.

On the other hand, Nagisa tilted her head and looked at the face of the ancient city.

"Mr. Gucheng is the one who has no energy. It is obviously a rare overseas trip. If you don't enjoy it, it will be too wasteful. Do you want coffee biscuits? I will give you half of it."

"No, no, by the way, you ate so much on the plane, do you want to eat more?" Gu Cheng said with a yawn.

The time difference between Japan and Rome is eight hours, and I am very tired due to jet lag. From here to Malta, there is still about an hour and a half of flight waiting for me.

"Father, it's too much to send cheap air tickets. Besides, even though it's an overseas trip, isn't it just helping him with his work?"

"...That's what I said, I'm sorry, Kojo-kun, I asked you to accompany me."

Nagisa's voice was a little softer. Although this trip was to meet her father, it is correct to say that Nagisa was the only one called by her father, and Gucheng came to take care of her.

"You don't need to apologize. In other words, what should we do next?"

"Well, it is said that Yacheng-kun's friend will come to pick us up, and he should be staring at the information desk of the airline... By the way, I got the map before."

As Nagisa said so, she began to rummage in the pocket of her jacket, and while Kojou was hugging and saluting, and was staring blankly at her, someone suddenly bumped her shoulder roughly.

"Scusi—"

A small foreign man greeted us with a troubled expression. Although he didn't know what it meant, he seemed to be apologizing for what he had bumped into. He was around 30 years old and dressed very plainly and unattractively. The men of the up-and-coming men's wear.

"Ah, I'm sorry...that, ミディすぴあーチェ (sorry, Italian)...?"

Kojou replied in ambiguous Italian, and the man grinned contentedly with his teeth bared.

"Huh...Diniente. Butonviaggio, stronzo—"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, Grattsu, Grattsu."

Kojou smiled and waved his hands to watch the man, when Nagisa suddenly raised his head and pointed at the man.

"Gucheng-kun, luggage—!"

"Hey……?"

After Nagisa noticed the commotion, the man suddenly ran out. The thing he held under his arm was Nagisa’s bag kept by Gucheng, which contained air tickets, passports, bank cards and other valuables. The moment it hit the shoulder it was snatched away.

"That bastard—!"

At this moment, Gucheng's consciousness went blank as if boiling, and when he regained consciousness, his body was already moving, and he ran out with all his strength, chasing after the money robber with a violent acceleration that was far from that of a child.

But the opponent is also running desperately. Although the perception is slowly shortened, it is not so easy to catch up. If he escapes outside the airport like this, it will be almost impossible for Gucheng, who is not familiar with the local conditions, to catch him. impossible.

It was too late—just when the ancient city was about to despair, a traveler with an indifferent face walked up to the money robber quietly.

With conspicuous snow-white hair and a pair of icy black eyes that seem to elicit fear in people's hearts, he looks about 17 years old in terms of age.

"—PerDio!!"

Rather than dodging the boy, the money robber seemed to choose the option of knocking him away, and walked straight towards him without slowing down.

However, the young man who didn't know where he was originally just turned his head and glanced at him, and the money robber flew upside down as if he had received an invisible heavy blow, flying about more than 20 meters away. It rose about 6 meters and then fell heavily to the ground.

It is equivalent to falling from the third floor without any precautions. Just seeing that scene will make people feel bursts of severe pain.

The money robber who was thrown badly struggled to get up, but Gucheng had already come to him before that.

"—Give back Nagisa's salute!"

Gucheng directly bent down and snatched his wallet back from the twitching money robber. The pickpocket didn't say anything, the free fall just now had deprived him of his mobility for a short period of time.

But it didn't seem to be a serious injury similar to a fracture, but the concussion injury caused by the body falling from a height of six meters cannot be recovered in a short time, unless he is not human.

"Little devil, your physical fitness and mobility are pretty good, but you feel like your brain is a little straight. As a child, you can't beat a serious robber."

Being pointed out in standard Japanese, Kojou could only smile wryly. Just now he almost didn't think about anything, and his mind rushed up.

"Gucheng Lord!"

Nagisa held her breath, and finally caught up with the rules. After confirming that the ancient city was safe and sound, "Really," she raised her brows as if she was in an awkward situation.

"Don't mess around, what should you do if you get hurt in a place like this!"

"It's okay, there are people here to help me."

"Hey? Who?"

"Who are you talking about...huh?"

Kojou was puzzled by Nagisa who asked blankly, and looked around.

However, the white-haired boy who should have been by his side until just now disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared before his eyes out of thin air——

"It's really strange. He's still here until just now. He's a boy with conspicuous white hair. He's about 17 or 8 years old."

"...Well, it's fine if it's okay... Really."

Looking up at the ancient city making excuses, Nagisa sighed helplessly.

Although he finally got the salute back, the airport was still noisy because of the money-grabbing commotion.

It is not an illusion of the ancient city to feel that a large number of sights are concentrated.

Should I run away before it becomes more troublesome? While hesitating in the ancient city, a strange woman squeezed through the crowd and approached here, and greeted her here.

"—Excuse me, is it Ms. Akinagisa?"

This is a young Caucasian woman neatly dressed in a navy blue suit. Although she doesn't have the feeling of elaborate makeup at all, she is still a considerable beauty, with the atmosphere of a capable secretary to the president.

"Yes...that, are you...?"

"I'm Liana Caruana. I'm here to greet you at the request of Dr. Xiaoyacheng." The woman answered Nagisa who asked back with a little fear in fluent Japanese.

Nagisa opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Hey!? Then, Big Sister is Yacheng-kun... no, is she father's friend?"

"Yes, I was appointed as the overall consultant of the fourth Gozo ruins investigation team." Miss Liana replied in a serious tone.

Being appointed as a general advisor at such a young age, it means that she is as capable as she looks, and she is also a beauty.

"Is this why mom was so upset when dad sent me a message?"

"Kashiro-kun, it seems that he is unbelievably popular with women?"

Kojou and Nagisa got together and whispered to each other in a tone of giving up.

"What... what's wrong?" Liana asked with a slightly uneasy expression.

Nagisa gave a perfunctory smile and bowed politely.

"No, there is nothing, ah ha ha ha, please give me your advice."

--------------------------------

In the crowd, there was an oriental girl who was smaller than Kojo or Nagisa, and her figure in a luxurious frilly dress reminded me of a beautiful doll.

The girl just looked at the place where the boy disappeared out of thin air, quietly thinking about something, and finally seemed to think of nothing, and finally left here as if giving up.

004 Akatsuki Family

Xiaoya City.

Gucheng and Nagisa's biological father, an archaeologist who specializes in the study of "Holy Annihilation", has been able to survive many times in dangerous ruins alone, and is known as "the man in the underworld".

He is about 40 years old and looks like he is in his 30s. He has a very chaotic personality and is very attracted to the opposite sex. He often gets the favor and help of other women.

As a daughter-in-law, the attitude towards Gucheng and Nagisa is very different.

Both the room and the working research room are messy, which is one of the reasons for the almost morbid cleanliness of the daughter Nagisa, and it is even inferred as a reaction to her father. When looking at a female figure.
