Xu Xianxian didn't rush to answer Hela's question. Instead, she ordered a few dishes from the waiter, and then slowly glanced at Hela and Weilan.
Because there were other diners around, Xu Xianxian had to lower her voice: "To be honest, the waters of Nanyun City are very deep. To avoid falling into danger, I suggest you leave immediately."
If outsiders heard such words, they would definitely look at the person as a fool. After all, as the center of a state, Nanyun City has excellent public security and a very low crime rate, which is not comparable to a small city like Hongjing City.
"Did something happen?"
Hela frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
Even Wei Lan, who was fuming beside him, turned serious. After all, even though he spoke tough, he still regarded Xu Xianxian as his backbone.
In this era, the strong are respected after all. Xu Xianxian's transformation into a demon rabbit has become a psychological shadow for Weilan, leaving an indelible mark.
"Someone wants to open the bloody ruins underground, which may cause disaster."
Xu Xianxian said in a low voice.
After all, Hela and Weilan were, in a sense, her trusted followers, so there was no need to hide too much. Sooner or later, she would inherit a school and become its leader. Whether she accepted the Shuttle School or established her own, she would need to cultivate trusted followers and subordinates, and even train apprentices.
A lone man is not called a school, it's called a lone ranger.
"Bloody...bloody ruins...?!"
Weilan was fine, but when Hela heard this, she immediately screamed in English.
Several guests nearby looked over and seemed startled by the scream.
"Shh!" Xu Xianxian stood up and covered the other person's lips without thinking, then said to the diners next to her: "Sorry, we are just joking, please don't mind it too much."
Although she said so, foreign beauties like Hela and Weilan are eye-catching. Even if they don't make any sound, they will definitely attract people's attention. Several diners still stared at the two women reluctantly.
“Hmm…Hmm…”
After Xu Xianxian covered Hela's mouth, she made a muffled sound of struggle. Only then did Xu Xianxian retract her hand, looked at the lip print on her palm, and frowned with some disgust.
She wanted to wipe her hands on her sleeves, but she chose to wipe them vigorously with her napkin.
At this time, the little girl said, "Keep your voice down... Do you know about this bloody relic?"
"My father is an archaeologist. He's researched many ruins around the world, so I know quite a bit about them. But even he hasn't been to the Bloody Ruins, but he has found some clues in other ancient sites." Hela couldn't hide the surprise and complexity in her expression. "Xu, you have to understand that all ruins are the remnants of ancient supernatural powers, and they are not accessible to mortals. Even my father, when he was conducting research, had special mysterious people to watch over and monitor him, and he was only allowed to work in designated areas. But even so, every year, his colleagues would die in the ruins. And my father was injured by radiation during a ruins exploration and eventually died."
Modern archaeological researchers have always been under extremely high risks, because most of them are just ordinary people. Even if they are protected by Force users, they can still be seriously injured or die if they encounter any accidents in the ruins.
"From his record and description, it was a mutant explosion incident."
When Hela talked about her father, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Xu Xianxian tried her best to understand the meaning with her English skills. This was the first time she heard Hela mention her father.
After hearing this, the little girl was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Mutant...what is that?"
"It's a derivative of an ancient creature, possessing power comparable to that of a Force user." Hela took a deep breath. "The document my father recorded says that the derivative came from the bloody ruins."
"Wait...ancient creatures...derivatives..." Xu Xianxian translated the words into the Federal language, muttered a few words, and then asked in confusion, "Are you sure...this isn't a science fiction movie?"
“This is true!” Hela couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Xu, you’ve seen the Kofi ruins and understand the incredible power those ancient ruins possess.”
"It's just that this is too... too... too surreal..." Xu Xianxian frowned and couldn't help but say, "I've studied a lot of history books since I was a child. Wasn't ancient humanity just an ordinary era? Where did these ancient creatures come from... Could they be dinosaurs from hundreds of millions of years ago?"
“Xu... With the power you wield, is it known to the general public?” Hela shook her head and said slowly, “Human history has always been half-truth, half-false. The true hidden truth has long been lost in the passage of time. Let alone thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, even during the Dark Ages over two hundred years ago, we only have a fragmentary understanding of what happened.”
She does not agree that history is false, but she also does not think that history is completely true. She is afraid that those who write history will tell the whole truth.
Just like those Force users, even after hundreds of years, there will be no mention of such a mysterious and powerful group in public history books. At most, they will only be seen in some unofficial biographies.
"You're right. The truth of this world is definitely not what we see with our eyes." Xu Xianxian nodded. "Let's assume your father's records are true. Then, what exactly is the Bloody Ruins?"
Fortunately, she had a knowledgeable subordinate, which allowed Xu Xianxian to learn a lot of knowledge from Hela that she had never known before.
"Any ruins are actually connected to supernatural creatures. For example, the Kofi Ruins are used for sacrifices to communicate with the King of the Dead in other worlds." Hela's expression was a little solemn. "And the Bloody Ruins are used to communicate with the legendary Lord of Blood, Laweisi."
"Wow..." Xu Xianxian frowned, feeling that things were not that simple. She couldn't help but ask, "Are all these mythological names so childish?"
It sounds very domineering, but who knows if he is actually a weakling?
“…” Hela didn’t know how to answer this question, and only smiled bitterly. “Since he can be worshipped and communicated with by Force users… he shouldn’t be a fraud. Although I don’t know the true situation, according to my father’s records, the Lord of Blood should represent the ultimate killing, a being that spreads fear and bloodshed, and possesses power far exceeding Kofi’s.”
"It is rumored that if the bloody door is opened, everything on the ground will turn into a sea of blood."
"......" Xu Xianxian rolled her eyes, seemingly not taking the words seriously: "Is it so scary?"
If these wild myths were true, then the Earth would have been destroyed countless times. She didn't believe that there were really any gods, kings, or lords in this world. They were all man-made deifications.
