Chapter 1480 – [Diana Dox and the Final Ruins]

Alpha Roro was attracted by us and quietly followed us. She seemed to at least stand her ground.

But even so, the anger and hatred in his eyes did not disappear. Although he honestly doesn’t think that just because he saved his life a little bit, the feelings built up over a long time will go away.

Anyway, we continued down the aisle.

And finally we were able to arrive at the entrance of the facility we were looking for.

I would like to be sure that this is the facility we are looking for, but the doors and walls in the rather large common were not ordinary structures. It was at least as smooth and hard as if it hadn’t been made in the Cutsey Kingdom.

Leaving aside those things… It was truly pitiful and surprising to be in front of such an entrance. It was nothing else, because the bones of a long-fermented cutsy were leaning in front of the door in a crouched state.

“I-that’s…!!!!”

Diana seemed to know what that meant. Then she went over to the pile of bones and inspected them, then burst into tears.

It was a bone in her veins and nothing else. In other words, the remains of her ancestor, the founder of the Dox family who mapped the last ruins.

“This is our ancestor’s. Why is it here…”

“You said you were missing, so did you stay here?”

“I don’t know.

He didn’t even die painfully. It was just, as if feeling a little bit of rest, crouching in front of the door leading to the ruins, facing the end.

Judging from the wounds left on the remains, it seems that he died from wounds from being attacked by giant cannibal ants… I felt something regretful.

First of all, we decided to clean up the remains. At the same time, Eden stroked something in the air while arranging the remains, as if he had seen something spiritually different.

“Yes, did you wait a long time? Wait a little. I’ll see you soon.”

When she wakes up, she can know what Eden is looking at and talking about, but she decided not to. It’s not long after all, so you’ll know why.

Soon we were able to stand in front of the door of the ruins in front of the remains. It reminds me of the human civilization of the past… And at the same time, I feel a fairly high level of technology.

Despite the passage of time, the facilities here were quite intact. Perhaps it was not a facility built to last for a long time. I don’t know what’s inside, but at least I didn’t seem to have a big problem getting in.

Normally, I would have just broken down the door and entered… But when I touched the screen at the entrance, it responded to something even though it was quite crackling.

-Baba Baba, visitors, please authenticate.

“Certification?”

They asked me to authenticate my fingerprints, iris, and other things. I agree to that and go through the certification process.

Because I am a transcendental person, I somehow escaped from being human, but I was able to easily pass the authentication process, perhaps because I am a human being.

– This has been verified. Tue, welcome.

And the door to the facility opened. We were finally able to reach the ruins, the end of our journey.

One thing that suddenly comes to mind is how the founder of the Dox family knew that this place was a legacy of civilization left by humans, enough to be called a ruin. If you’ve never been in, you wouldn’t know in the first place, but honestly, it was a story where the causal relationship was reversed.

Well, you’ll know when you go in.

We entered the facility. And I was quite surprised by the pretty neat interior and air. Apparently, even after the extinction of mankind, the internal facilities and functions of this place have been maintained to some extent.

Even the certification system for entering the Hagi was proof that the facilities here are maintained. On the other hand, it is quite expected to see what is kept while maintaining such a facility.

Soon after, we visited one of the rooms here. I wondered if I could go in, but it seemed that I could visit freely at the point I had already entered from the entrance. Can everyone come in if they just came in from the outside? Hmmm, I don’t know, but it worked fine anyway.

Anyway, what we saw when we entered the room…

It was a huge number of relics, lined up in countless numbers.

“Wow!!! Comb-patterned pottery!!!!”

“No, it’s not just that.”

Relics from a long time ago, such relics as evidenced by human history were scattered.

As Eden said, various art objects are placed in chronological order, starting with artifacts from the Stone Age, such as comb-patterned pottery. If you walk slowly, you can see familiar paintings and sculptures.

In particular, the apex was a painting that was beautifully enshrined in one corner. His unique drawing with no eyebrows and an expression that is unknown whether he is smiling or not. The appearance of Mona Lisa is a painting that anyone on earth can recognize.

“Dad, isn’t this the Mona Lisa?”

“That’s right. No, how did this get here?”

“Is this a famous painting?”

“It’s a picture drawn by one of the best human artists. This subtle expression is famous.”

“Ah, this is what humans look like. They’re not that different from you guys. It seems like you guys were really human.”

Come to think of it, the kids here didn’t even know what humans looked like in the first place. Hagisa That’s why Alpha Roro, who knew this and that, didn’t even know about us as humans.

Looking around, I also found Van Gogh’s work on one side. There are famous paintings of sunflowers among them, but this is not it. However, it is certain that it is a work of Van Gogh, so I feel like I want to bring it to Zion.

“Shion likes Van Gogh’s work…”

“What about mom? Oh, come to think of it, there was a picture of my mom drawn in this style in Horizon.”

“Your mother likes this style of painting, and she likes Van Gogh’s work because Van Gogh painted it himself. You can collect all of Van Gogh’s works if you collect each one, but I put up with it, but this is a bit long.”

To be honest, there are many planets called Earth, and as much as that, there can be several of the same writers or works. So, if you really make up your mind, collecting the works of any artist is not that difficult.

I just refrain from collecting things that way. It is an example as much as I met the writer directly.

So, Sion also collected only the works that he could touch. Even so, Horizon was full of Van Gogh works… But it was still lacking.

But I really like it. Shion would be very happy if I brought this.

“It seems that what is here is a work of art left by humans.”

“It’s not just a piece of art. It contains human history.”

If you look at Picasso’s work Guernica hanging on one side, you will know roughly. A work of art is also a work of art, but it also represents the human history contained in the work of art.

We’ve only seen a few of them, but they’re substantial nonetheless. Probably about one-fifth of this facility. If there were this amount of art and artifacts in that one district, it was obvious without looking at how many other places there were.

Things like this were personal things I coveted. Aren’t these things even things that no one can claim ownership of? Even if we take it, no one will say anything.

But Diana, who came all the way here to find this, is a bit concerned. So even if it’s a shame, I’ll have to talk slowly.

“Looking at it, it looks like there’s a separate residential area down there, let’s go there.”

“Yeah, he said there must be someone over there.”

“Who?”

“Sam, Sam Dox did it”

Perhaps the name of the founder of the Dox family was Sam Dox. And that soul still remained and seems to have been bound by the Underworld Spirit.

Eden seemed to have brought him into this facility. I was going to wake up and see it, but… I got the feeling that it wasn’t that time yet.

We slowly descended the facility. I was surprised to see that the sanctuary’s owners were in perfect shape for the facilities on the continent, but on the other hand, I knew why Adreas had said that.

[Guy Adreas, it seems he was hiding something like this]

“Honestly, I think this is pretty good.”

[I think that’s right. Human existence certainly deserves to be punished and destroyed, but it is good to leave the culture built up in this way for the beings living in this era]

“So you said you were leaving the future?”

Cultures and relics of the past can fully become the future. If you think about it, it seems that this facility was supposed to store important artifacts accumulated by human civilization, like a seed storage, and to be excavated when the civilization is reconstructed in the future.

Because if it weren’t for that, there wouldn’t be a place like this. I wonder if Adreas knew that it would be better to leave this facility behind, and didn’t disrespect it.

Eventually, we reached the living quarters at the bottom of the facility.

However, it was a long time ago, so I didn’t feel like I was living a human life. No, more than that… There were not many traces of the people themselves living here.

I searched for this and that, but there were at least one or two people who lived here, and considering that there was dog food, it seems that there was even one dog.

Perhaps the dog that lived there was…

“Oh, Sam!!!!”

I felt something go by, and it was as if the soul of Sam Dox, who was attached to Eden, ran out. Maybe it’s because I got excited when I got closer to my destination.

We follow it And inside the living quarters, a body that looked like a suicide was found.

It looks like he killed himself with a gun, as he was holding a gun in one hand. And next to him lies a picture. I can’t see any papers with a will or something written on it, so the drawing is probably a substitute for the will.

The painting placed next to him was a brightly smiling malamute. Considering that it has a slightly different appearance from the general Cutshi, is it a 1st generation Cutshi? I thought it was similar to this, considering the skeleton of Sam Dox I saw at the entrance of the facility.

The drawing skills themselves weren’t that great. Still, I felt that it was a picture of a person who had learned to some extent, and there was a feeling that he painted it with passion by doing everything he did. Even if you don’t know the skill, you can say that the effort pays off.

And at the bottom of the picture he wrote something down.

[My best friend]

At that point, I woke up. And I could see a human, a dog, and a cutie meet each other and shed tears.

They bowed their heads as if to thank us. Soon, each other’s spiritual bodies became blurred and they became Buddhas.

Seeing that they both attain Buddhahood as soon as they meet each other, it seems that they were close friends in their lives. It must have been a big regret in life that much… I don’t know what it is, but it’s fortunate that we solved each other’s attachments and reached Buddhahood.

“This…What the hell happened? Why did the founder of the Dox family come all the way here to die, and a human drawing his picture and committing suicide?”

“That’s what we’re curious about too”

“Ah, you should have heard the story before you reached Buddhahood. I only heard that my master was here.”

“Even if it’s not that, there’s one guy who’ll listen. I think he’s still watching us, isn’t he?”

[Indeed, it is. You must be there, Adreas?]

Then, all of a sudden, the piles of dirt that came out of nowhere began to stir, and soon they took on the shape of a small turtle. It has a cute feel like a small turtle raised in a fishbowl, but it is the alter ego of Adreas, the owner of the sanctuary.

He knows everything about this trip, about this facility, about the dead and Sam Dox. So I’m sure you’ve been convinced that this facility is definitely there.

[Looks like I found it…]

“Yeah, you knew everything? What happened here?”

[Yeah…Because I listened to his request…]

“Request?”

[I’ll tell you…]

We listened to what Adreas was saying. He was a little frustrated with his own slowness of speech, but he listened patiently nonetheless.

This facility, as we expected, was created by the US government. It shows signs of World War II, so it is a facility prepared for the future by storing cultural heritage in case of emergency. That’s why there were all kinds of precious art pieces here.

Then a war broke out, and the spirits appeared in the world. They wiped out the world, wiping out humans and all traces of them.

However, this facility took time to process. Like the nuclear weapons military facilities in the distant kingdom of Aif, the fortified facilities maintained their shape even in the spirits’ disaster. It’s the same here… There was a person who escaped here.

[That was… Alex and Sam…]

“Are you saying that the vassal saved his life by hiding in this facility?”

[Sam would have been saved if he hadn’t done that, but…]

In a disaster that turned the world upside down, the two saved their lives by hiding in this facility. Apparently, daily necessities for living to some extent were stored, and electricity could be maintained, probably because there was a self-generating system.

However, the entire facility was buried underground. At least at that time, it was because Adreas was trying to erase all traces of humanity.

The only stumbling block was Sam. Aside from human Alex, Sam Dox was cutsy, and at the time, it would have been just a dog born as an experiment.

[So I got in touch with them…And talked to Alex about a lot of things…]

“What are you talking about?”

[Even if humans pay the price for their sins… This place is for the future. You can destroy and destroy other places, but… Please don’t do that here.]

Maybe he was related to it? Hagisa If anyone can enter a facility like this, it would be natural for him to be related to them.

Then you will know the meaning of the artworks stored here. So maybe that’s what he said.

“Did you do that favor?”

[He was quite a likable person…But aside from that, I have to do what I have to do]

Adreas does Alex’s favor, but he doesn’t save him. Leaving it underground, only Sam Dox was sent up to the surface to live among the ancestors of the five races.

But if there was something unexpected, it was Sam Dox’s tenacity.

[Sam Dox made a contract with the spirit of the earth…And then he dug and searched for a place where his owner would be…And in the end he succeeded.]

“So his body is in front of the entrance…”

[By that time, Alex had already taken his own life…… Moreover, Sam Dox was also injured by a group of Mantites, so he only managed to come this far… When he reached this place, he left a map instead. ]

“If it’s a map, that one?”

We looked at the map of the ruins that Diana was holding.

Eventually, Sam Dox found the ruins. However, it was because of that that he could not reveal the ruins to the world and went missing. And the map… Is to be entrusted to someone who comes next.

[Yeah…Someone came and…He left it to ask…To open the door for him…I also moved it to the ground…]

Alex, who will open the door from the inside, is also dead, and Sam Dox would not have been able to open the door to the ruins. It’s probably set up separately so that any human can open it, but Sam Dox is a dog.

The two people who wanted to meet each other could not meet due to the difference of a little time and a door. But I was able to meet you like this.

It was a pity, but on the other hand, it was a story that seemed to know the friendship between dogs and humans.

As much as that, the dog’s blind love for humans is rather excessive to humans, but sometimes there were humans who responded to that affection.

Alex can’t get out of here either, because Sam chose to live the rest of his lonely life on his own for a more free life. It’s a sad story that happened because we loved each other so much.

“Mungmung-ah, come to work. I’ll stroke you.”

“Heh heh heh, I like it, Mr. Jjouin!!!!”

Eden seems to feel it too, and he stroked the goblin. Knowing the atmosphere, Koyang and the other kids take a step back and watch.

After hearing the story, Alpha Roro made an expression of disbelief.

“Why…Weren’t humans a hateful race? That such a human sacrificed himself and cutie spent his whole life searching for this ruin for such a human?”

“You don’t know. It’s hard to understand. But that’s the love your ancestors had for humans.”

Even if a long time has passed since his death, it is very fortunate that the two of them met together and reached Buddhahood.

Later, when we go up to the surface, we should bury the two of them together.
