American Variety: Scientific Exorcism

"Really?"

Yorks glanced at Father Sergei and took the document he handed over with both hands.

At a glance, Yorks began to know the source of the big commotion yesterday, but what he didn't expect was.

This was actually related to the Giant Monster Peak.

"It's a bit of a coincidence, and it happened during this period. Is it an illusion? Why do I feel that it has something to do with me?"

Yorks began to mutter in his heart. In the dark, he always felt that this matter had a lot to do with him.

Looking further, Yorks had a clearer understanding of the specific situation.

The dust cloud that rushed into the sky yesterday was actually caused by the collapse of the Giant Monster Peak at the same time.

None of the thirteen peaks survived, so that the terrain of the large valley directly changed dramatically, filled with a large number of boulders, and the small river below disappeared without a trace.

The only casualty was the small base he saw when he was sightseeing on the train before.

The more Yorks looked, the more he felt a little uncomfortable, because no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be related to him.

Especially since the collapse of the Troll Peak happened right after he had just taken the Axe of God's Judgement - Olaf's Wrath.

This made him think a little more.

York looked at the document in his hand with a strange look on his face. If he could feel that there was a connection, it was almost certain.

But why didn't he notice it at the time? This was impossible for him to do with his current strength. If the Axe of God's Judgement was related to the Troll Peak, even the church would not have any information about it.

"Have you found out the cause of the collapse?" York's tone was a little subtle. If it was really related to him, then the people in that small base really suffered an unexpected disaster, and it was because of him.

Father Sergi replied respectfully:

"Replying to Bishop York, the expert team sent by the Norwegian government is currently investigating, and it is estimated that there will be news soon."

Speaking of this, Father Sergi paused for a moment, and then said respectfully:

"Because the matter is too strange and is related to the legendary giant monster in Norse mythology, Bishop Georgi who is in the Osland Cathedral has also sent a team to investigate."

Yorkis looked at Hannah, Alessa, and even Irene who were having fun and playing snowballs on the snow, and sighed.

"If there is any news, it must be sent to me as soon as possible, without any delay."

Since it feels related to him, and the small base that has suffered an unexpected disaster, York can't just stand by and watch, otherwise he will feel uneasy. Even if he doesn't feel much, he really doesn't like this situation.

Father Sergi bowed his head: "Yes! Bishop York!"

Yorkis nodded slightly, looked at the position of the dust rising into the sky yesterday, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

——

In the Troll Peak area, which has been sealed off as a restricted area, a large number of experts are currently surveying around the boulders.

Among them, there are also some engineering teams, who are responsible for moving the boulders away in order to find the location of the small tunnel base at the foot of the Troll Peak.

Because all signs indicate that the small base is the central source, because its location is the highest point, and the overall layout seems to have exploded with the small base as the center.

In the arguments and analysis of experts such as geologists, archaeologists, and biologists, they all agree that these boulders, which are so numerous that they fill the entire valley, are actually rolling down from this center.

The scene is quite spectacular.

But in addition to these, there are several drones hovering in the sky and taking pictures, and in the sky farther away, several air force reconnaissance planes are constantly whizzing around, trying to find other suspicious information.

This basically proves that the entire Kingdom of Norway has ended, which is generally speaking, involving national security.

"Strange, Bachelor Haldane, after ruling out the possibility of new weapons or terrorist attacks, there is no way to find an explanation or a breakthrough point.

I have been to the Troll Peak for an investigation. Its structure is very stable. According to actual theory, this situation is impossible."

When the progress of the expert group began to stagnate, they gathered tacitly beside an engineering base. Someone looked at a middle-aged man with white hair and black hair and said.

Bachelor Haldane, a rising leader in the Kingdom of Norway, is also a leading figure in geology, including biology.

When he heard this, he did not express it immediately, but looked at the pile of boulders filling the valley, looking at the highest point, and said instead.

"You have all heard of the fairy tale legend of the trolls, right?"

As soon as this was said, the expert group looked at each other. Speaking of the fairy tales about the Troll Peak in the entire Kingdom of Norway, most people have actually heard of it.

"Do you think the reason for the collapse of the Troll Peak is related to the legendary troll?" Someone hesitated and said.

"Is this possible? Giant monsters are just legends. It's not that no one has come to Giant Monster Peak to investigate, including me, but for hundreds of years, no one has been able to prove the existence of giant monsters."

Mr. Haldane narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing, but after summarizing all the information, the distribution of the boulders after the collapse of the thirteen Giant Monster Peaks made him think of a picture.

That is, the thirteen peaks suddenly collapsed, and a towering giant rushed out from them.

——

"This is the Bird Reconnaissance Plane No. 1, what have you found?"

A reconnaissance plane from the Air Force to survey the area around Giant Monster Peak roared past.

"I'm Bird Scout No. 2. I didn't find anything."

"Same goes for number three."

"."

The pilot of Bird reconnaissance aircraft No. 1 listened to the voice of his colleagues reporting, pulled the lever and controlled the reconnaissance aircraft to move to the other direction and roar away.

"This is Bird Reconnaissance Plane No. 1, extending the range to fifty kilometers."

"Received on the 2nd!"

"Received on the 3rd"

"."

With the Giant Monster Peak as the center, the reconnaissance aircraft group has been spreading and surrounding, striving to find more information.

Bird reconnaissance aircraft No. 1 roared past, and its pilot saw only the vast white snow on the ground, and he almost gave up.

Such a long distance is already the limit. If he can't find anything suspicious anymore, and the reconnaissance plane needs to go back to replenish fuel, he can only visit the uninhabited mountain range below.

"It's too big." The pilot controlled the reconnaissance plane, turned around and looked down, but couldn't find anything and could only report to the walkie-talkie.

"This is the Bird reconnaissance aircraft No. 1. It needs to return to the base to refuel. You continue to patrol and investigate."

"Received on the 2nd!"

"Received on the 3rd!"

"."

Listening to the sound coming from the walkie-talkie, the pilot of Bird Scout No. 1 was about to pull the handle and prepare to return.

But at the moment the reconnaissance plane turned around, the pilot suddenly saw something in his peripheral vision, subconsciously looked to the left, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What's this?"

In front of his eyes, there was a huge indentation that was dozens of meters large in a piece of mountainous land exposed on the ground.

"This is Bird Scout No. 1! I think I may have found something suspicious."

——

If something suspicious is found, the news will be sent back very quickly.

Just when this group of experts was about to hold another meeting to discuss how to find a breakthrough point, the news came back.

"Maester Haldane! There is a new discovery!"

When everyone walked into the temporary box room, someone came hurriedly carrying a tablet computer.

Haldane raised his eyebrows slightly and hurriedly greeted him.

"The aerial reconnaissance plane captured something in a mountainous area about 20 kilometers away."

The visitor was sweating profusely, panting and speaking the important information before handing over the tablet in his hand.

Haldane looked at the tablet, his heart inexplicably felt ripples and palpitations.

But he still calmed down and took the tablet, and many experts began to gather around to watch.

Haldane reached out and clicked on the screen. When the screen lit up, the video that appeared on it took his breath away.

In the video captured by the aerial reconnaissance plane, a huge concave mark suddenly appeared, and appeared again nearly a hundred meters ahead, and continued forward until it disappeared about ten kilometers away.

After the video was played, the sound of breathing around him started to sound heavy.

Haldane looked at the flat screen that was slowly dimming, looked at his colleagues around him, took a deep breath and said.

"Let's have a meeting!"

For a moment, the scene shifted to a box room.

There was a layout of long tables and chairs, and in front of the tables and chairs was a huge hanging screen. The video from the tablet had been transferred to this screen and was played repeatedly in the eyes of the experts sitting on the chairs.

In addition to the expert team, there are also officials from the government and the person in charge of this operation.

Once, twice, and three times, Haldane, who was sitting at the front, paused the playback and turned to his colleagues around him.

"What do you think?"

These experts looked at each other, and finally a middle-aged man hesitated to speak.

“Maybe it’s caused by karst landforms?”

The person in charge sitting on the other side glanced at it and asked, "What?"

He is not an expert and really doesn't understand this.

Other experts explained: "Karst collapse, water flows down the cracks and dissolves the lime sediments underground until they finally collapse. Of course, I think it may also be related to large underground natural gas reservoirs."

As soon as these words came out, it was like the beginning, and other experts also expressed their thoughts or agreed with others.

"Yes, it could be a result of climate change."

"If you don't handle it carefully and there are other movements that cause a chain reaction, the explosion may trigger a chain explosion."

But because Haldane didn't make a sound, these experts began to speak softly and finally disappeared. They looked at each other or looked at Haldane, who was silent and could not see any expression.

The whole place was silent, everyone had their own ghosts.

"Have you finished talking?" Haldane put the infrared remote control in his hand on the table and said calmly.

"If everyone has expressed their thoughts, it should be my turn now."

As he spoke, Haldane glanced around at the colleagues with different expressions, the official staff and the person in charge who looked confused, and said in a deep voice.

"Are you all pretending that you can't see or know? Are you still doubting your own eyes?"

As soon as these words came out, many experts opened their mouths to say something, but nothing came out. After all, Haldane's words were indeed true. They were not fools, but everything they saw with their eyes would indeed make them grow up from childhood to adulthood. The established three views have been somewhat impacted.

I am also afraid that everything I see in front of me is fake and illusory.

This very contradictory mentality makes them don't know how to express it.

The official person in charge saw the atmosphere of the scene, looked at Haldane, and said.

"Maester Haldane, do you see anything unusual?"

"Sir Nouri, are you sure this video is authentic?" Haldane asked.

The official person in charge glanced at the staff sitting next to him, and then nodded seriously.

"Maester Haldane, I assure you that all this is true. This is indeed a live video captured by a reconnaissance aircraft, and all the pilots of the reconnaissance aircraft group have seen it."

"very good."

Haldane let out a breath: "It seems that my guess may be true."

"Huh?" The official person in charge blinked.

Haldane pressed the infrared remote control again to resume playback. When a huge gravure appeared on the video, he pressed it again to pause the video at the huge gravure.

"Sir Nuri, this is the clearest gravure in the video that captures the entire picture. Take a closer look now. Can you see any shape?"

The official person in charge who was pointed out was startled, frowning and looking around, and finally his pupils widened slightly and he said with some uncertainty.

"It looked like the shape of a human footprint."

Speaking of this, the official person in charge was consciously a little unsure, and felt that it was too much to break the three concepts and thinking logic, and it seemed that there was something wrong with his IQ, and then laughed dryly.

"Haha, with experts like you here, I'm not qualified to judge what it is."

However, what the official responsible person did not expect was that Bachelor Haldane actually confirmed his words.

"You are right, Sir Nouri." Haldane said in a very serious tone.

"The shape of the indentation is indeed the shape of a footprint."

The official person in charge's expression stiffened. He had not expected this at all, and instinctively looked at the paused video on the screen.

At this time, with Haldane's confirmation, he felt more and more that the huge concave mark looked more and more like a footprint.

"If this is a footprint, how big should the owner of this footprint be?" the official person in charge hesitated.

He already felt very awkward, and his three views and logical thinking were in conflict with the facts.

With such a big footprint, and the owner of the footprint extending past it, this suspicious creature must be at least as big as a building, no! Even bigger and taller than a building.

This makes no sense at all.

Thinking of this, the official person in charge finally understood why those experts were like this and why the atmosphere was like this.

"So maybe this is just an indentation like a footprint?" the official person in charge whispered.

However, Haldane shook his head and looked at the gravure on the screen: "If it is just one of them, what you said is correct, but in my opinion, these gravures are so similar, there is not much difference in size at all, so this It’s really a footprint and not a natural depression in the ground.”

The whole place was silent, even the experts were silent. They couldn't find anything to refute in front of the facts. After all, they had seen it with their own eyes.

The official head shook his head suddenly, because in his mind he suddenly imagined a giant as big as a building and hundreds of meters tall walking or running.

Shaking off this seemingly outrageous imaginary picture, he took a breath and said.

"Maester Haldane, you are one of the leading biologists in the Kingdom of Norway. Are you thinking of any special creature?"

Haldane stared at the screen and said seriously: "Troll Peak, troll fairy tale, troll!"
