Gu Jueye slowly buttoned up the cuffs of his shirt and walked out of the dressing room.
"Give up the habit of spying."
"Hehe, I didn't want to see you two lovebirds being all lovey-dovey either, but it's all about timing, isn't it?"
The man walked to a chair and sat down. He reached for the fruit plate on the small round table next to him and picked up a bright red apple.
He didn't intend to eat it; he just held the fist-sized apple in his hand and admired it.
Gu Jueye walked to the chair opposite the man and sat down, looking at him calmly.
His appearance means that something must have happened.
"The Anunnaki diggers have recently returned to Earth, and they've been active in Antarctica lately. We still don't know their purpose, but it's most likely that they're here to mine resources and conduct human genetic engineering. As you know, these people are much more advanced than us subterranean people. They've completely mastered matter manipulation and can transform into human form to hide among ordinary people. Since you're a genetic engineer, I'm worried that these guys might be targeting you."
As the man spoke, his eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, turned toward Gu Jueye.
"You'd better be careful. You're my only friend on Earth. I was worried about you, so I came all this way myself."
Gu Jueye remained indifferent and unmoved by the man's concern.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and the morning sunlight outside the window shone through the thin gauze curtains onto the man's profile, making his prominent features and fair skin appear as if they were made of jade.
His gaze was calm and detached, showing no concern that he might be in great danger.
"Besides this, is there anything else you want to say?"
The visitor's name was "Naxi," which is simply the pronunciation of his name.
According to his explanation, people in his area don't have names.
However, the race is divided into 24 strict ranks, from high to low, similar to the hierarchy of nobility and lowliness among humans.
The Naxi are the third-ranked race in the 24 levels, so it's not just one person who is called Naxi, but his entire race.
To distinguish themselves, the Naxi gave themselves a name that resembles that of a surface-dwelling human, "Daze," which means sea or deep sea.
Their home is located deep underground at the bottom of the sea.
In fact, legends about subterranean people have been circulating abroad for a long time. One theory is that humanity has experienced several extinctions. As human technology continues to develop, human exploitation of the Earth has become increasingly severe, leading to a rapid deterioration of the Earth's environment and triggering global catastrophes such as wars and tsunamis.
The subterranean people are the most primitive inhabitants of the Earth. They live inside the Earth and possess a large amount of land. Like humans on the surface, they belong to the same clan and lineage. However, in order to escape a great catastrophe, a group of people accidentally discovered an entrance to the underground world in a bottomless cave. Thus, that group of people began to live and multiply underground.
Humans on the surface have experienced five extinction-level catastrophes, while the subterranean people, due to their unique geographical environment, have only experienced the first catastrophe and have continued to thrive to this day.
Naturally, a civilization that has lasted for tens of thousands of years far surpasses humankind on Earth in terms of technology and civilization.
Like other extraterrestrials, the subterranean people have been secretly observing the actions of the surface people, watching them slowly develop through the changes of history. They even intervened in a world war at one point in time for the sake of human peace and development.
The nobles of both Country M and State O also maintained some kind of connection or relationship with them.
Gu Jueye's contact with the underground people also stemmed from that world war.
As a warlord who dominated a region at the time, he naturally became the target of attention from certain mysterious forces.
The underground people discovered that although Xu Changchong was a warlord, he harbored feelings of love for his ex-girlfriend. Therefore, Daze took the initiative to contact him.
Times change, a century is but a dream. In the eyes of the subterranean people, it is nothing more than a fleeting moment, because their lifespan is ten times that of humans. According to Daze, the oldest subterranean person has lived to be 1,500 years old.
What does this mean?
Looking at the long course of history, this old man lived through many dynasties and witnessed the rise and fall of countless regimes.
As for why he has survived to this day under the identity of Xu Changchong, it is largely due to the underground people.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, only Osawa is the only one who survived that era of war with him.
"We have news about the 12th crystal skull."
The man, who had been turning his finger to twirl the engagement ring, suddenly stopped.
"What does this have to do with you coming here?"
Crystal skulls are said to be keys to the universe left by prehistoric civilizations. Another theory is that if you collect all 12 crystal skulls, you can get close to the power of the creator and absorb the energy of the entire universe.
Therefore, the legend of the crystal skull has been passed down in various countries for thousands of years.
Some say this is the masterpiece of the Creator, who closed one door for mankind, but quietly left a window to the truth.
However, with human thought and cognition, it is impossible to decipher how the crystal skull unlocks the secrets of the universe.
Meanwhile, the subterranean people have been searching for the whereabouts of the crystal skull.
For thousands of years, the whereabouts of the crystal skulls have been intermittent. They are like maidens hidden under a thin veil, hazy and mysterious, arousing people's curiosity. Just when people are about to reach out and lift the veil, the maiden turns around and runs away in a flash.
However, according to Osawa, extraterrestrials in the Milky Way and even other galaxies outside the Milky Way have also been searching for the Crystal Skull.
There are rumors that nine of the crystal skulls have fallen into the hands of the Anunnaki.
Because they were the first gold diggers to enter the earth, rats that burrow underground naturally have a keen sense of smell.
The other two are in the hands of the Pleiadians.
This last one is on Earth, and its whereabouts remain unknown.
Upon hearing news of the last crystal skull, Gu Jueye understood why Anunnaki had suddenly appeared.
It's probably related to the crystal skull going downstairs.
