I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

At 03:30 p.m. local time in Youkexin City, the exhibition currently being held in the city museum will end in two hours.

This exhibition is jointly organized by the museum and the Hunters Association, mainly to show the public the latest achievements unearthed by the site hunters in the association.

Because there was a hunter association, the theme of the exhibition was related to an ancient civilization that was said to have died thousands of years ago. Once the publicity was released, it immediately triggered a wave of visits from the general public.

Today is the late stage of the exhibition, and the flow of people coming to the museum is not as crowded as it was at the beginning.

In addition, in the afternoon, there are more tourists leaving than coming in. The exhibition hall is clear and cold, and it was very quiet for a time.

It was so quiet that only sporadic footsteps and echoes in the empty exhibition hall could be heard.

The sixth floor is the highest floor in the museum. For most tourists who are tired from walking and have no desire to visit, the highest level is generally not very interesting.

Therefore, there are fewer people walking slowly here than downstairs.

In the dark exhibition hall as a whole, the security personnel stood against the wall in every possible way bored, looking at the very few tourists with indifferent eyes and a little tired.

Today’s wave of tourists is fairly honest, there is no excessive noise, no one lying on the glass display case trying to do something, and no one staying in front of a certain exhibit for a long time without moving, with flickering eyes revealing that you need to focus on your expression...

……Um?

Suddenly, the security guard who seemed to be about to fall asleep slightly raised his eyelids, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Practically speaking, this exhibition hall should be the most inconspicuous part of the entire exhibition.

Not only is it located in the narrowest corner of the tallest building, but also because the exhibits displayed here are scattered, basically coming from a few unimportant or unexcavated relics, and then pieced together .

Tourists who wander here usually just take a casual glance and don't stay for a long time deliberately. After all, compared with the treasures of other exhibition halls, there are no treasures here that can be called priceless treasures.

But today, the security personnel looked up and found a special case.

——The boy has been in this insignificant exhibition hall for almost an hour.

He didn't go anywhere else, he stayed here from beginning to end.

The exhibition hall is only so small, even if you look carefully at each of them, you won't be able to see them for long.

The other tourists who wandered in sporadically turned around inside, and quickly turned out, at a speed that seemed to be a little faster than normal.

"Uh, uh...Ah Choo!"

It was inexplicably cold inside, and the security personnel, who had temporarily paid attention to the only visitor in the exhibition hall, couldn't help but sneezed.

The sound of sneezing immediately spread to the entire hall, and it was even more menacing in the originally silent environment, quite disturbing.

However, such a big battle still did not wake up the only "tourist".

He spent a minute scanning all the objects in the exhibition hall boredly, and spent the rest of the long time in front of that one exhibit that didn't have much in common.

Judging from the back view, this "tourist" is not very old, he is still a teenager.

Although he couldn't see his face, the other party's silvery hair reflected in the dark was particularly eye-catching.

The security personnel actually didn't want to go over to find out. After all, the boy who was suspected of being a primary school student just stood there to watch, and did not act suspiciously.

However, with a change of mind, he thought that this young man was a little strange, whether he needed help, so he lifted his foot and walked over.

"kid……"

When the security guard walked about one or two steps behind the boy and shouted these three words, the voice behind him froze abruptly.

A strange sense of ominous premonition climbed into my heart first.

Then, with just half a breath, it spread into an unbelievable shock.

"This... this, this is!"

The panicked voice came out, and the man took a step back uncontrollably, his eyes rounded and staring at the transparent display case in front of him, full of horror.

"Ice? What's the situation, how can there be ice in here?! Emergency call——"

Loud noises and chaotic steps rushed from every corner of the museum to the top floor.

No obvious abnormalities appeared, and the alarms installed in each showcase did not sound, but under such circumstances, only the showcase in the corner exhibition hall on the sixth floor was suddenly covered with frost!

Frost is like a crystal clear and beautiful flower, blooming quietly in the narrow space composed of square glass, covering the old objects that were originally placed in the center, as if washing away the lead on the surface.

This scene has a strange beauty of past and present, but in the eyes of most people, it is not amazing, but...

"What does it mean? Where did you find this thing?"

"...!"

I almost forgot that the most suspicious person who caused the mysterious freezing of the showcase was the young "tourist" who had been in front of it for so long.

The others hadn't arrived yet, and the security personnel were undecided. Logically speaking, they should stay away from him and should not answer.

But for some reason—maybe it was pulled by fright.

His eyes subconsciously fell on the nameplate in front of the showcase, which not only contained a brief introduction to the exhibit, but also the essential information of the exhibit's name.

Therefore, it was answered:

"This, this is sent from the ruins that have not been officially excavated...the name of the ruins, not yet..."

Since it is an incompletely excavated site, the name has not yet been officially determined.

According to regulations, such a site should not have been announced to the public, and the cultural relics found there should not be sent to the museum for exhibition now.

But there are exceptions. The only cultural relic excavated from the ruins has been sent here.

There is no official definition, and the text has not been fully deciphered. Then, for exhibition, experts decided to give it a temporary name through research and guesswork.

--"Pa".

The full name is unknown, but all that can be explored so far is this short byte.

*****

Eric would gladly go to the museum to waste time, purely on the spur of the moment.

What kind of cultural relics are really not attractive to him who can be counted as "cultural relics" for thousands of years.

But at the time when he was dismissive, he happened to remember that the younger brother he had met not long ago, Jin Fulishi, seemed to be a "relic hunter"... maybe.

Well.

I remember correctly, it really is.

Although he never said it (and it is impossible to say it), Eric has always treated his younger brother equally, and there is no preference (except for the treatment of men and women).

Although he and Jin didn't get along as long as the other younger brothers, after meeting again, Jin Huan suddenly changed from a natural black kid to a bearded uncle, but the feelings they should have are the same.

The younger brothers here are struggling to take the exam, and Artoria is covering them, so it doesn't matter if they leave it for a while and don't look at it.

The person who gave him the museum ticket specifically said that most of the cultural relics displayed there were excavated by the legendary hunter Jin.Coincidentally, this aroused Eric's interest.

"Anyway, he's my little brother, so let's go and see what kid Jin has achieved over the years."

Thinking of this, Eric reluctantly took the ticket and went out.

The first five floors of the museum are all walked over with the attitude of simply looking at it.

Although Eric couldn't understand the words of this world, and he had no feeling for the old things that were carefully given away today, it was easy to see that Jin was doing well now.

Under most of the exhibits, except for the name and the excavation site, the full name of the site hunter who discovered them is specially marked: Jin Fulishi.

"It's amazing."

In places that Jin didn't know, his elder brother patiently visited the museum, and he already praised him in his heart.

Both the self-confidence of "Sure enough, his little brother can't be good", and the pride of "this little brother who even has a son in the blink of an eye has already realized his dream in this world, and he doesn't need to intervene", summed it up, It's quite a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

Eric savored this novel feeling carefully, and unexpectedly found it acceptable.

In this way, he reached the sixth floor, and there was only the last exhibition hall left. He planned to take a casual look and leave.

Unexpectedly, it was just this casual glance that caused his gaze to pierce through the darkness like a curtain.

"..."

Among the many unidentified utensils, the boy who had recovered his appearance saw something.

It is as if something buried in the depths of the long river of time breaks through all difficulties and reappears in the world.

It broke free from the shackles of sand and stone, and shattered the black barrier. The surface was full of cracks, and the inside was rotten.

But this crack is the proof that after vicissitudes of life, the former fame and glory of the past will still be engraved.

It can still be regarded as a stone slab with engraved writings, uneven and broken, leaving only a remnant body. The thing that catches the eye is such an "ordinary" thing.

"........."

what is this.

what is this.

What is this piece of wreckage that was shattered to the point of leaving only a small piece!

Why did it make him stunned just by looking at it.

And why, his heart could no longer be calm.
