The dark clouds were like thousands of neat infantry phalanxes, approaching the city silently but with great discipline. Although slow, the feeling of being unstoppable and destroying everything was enough to scare anyone.
The moon at this time was like the last lonely city in the kingdom. When the last weak king of the kingdom stood on the top of the city and looked at the endless soldiers under the city wall, approaching silently, he knew that no matter the city wall,
How strong it is. Soon, this lonely city will be completely annihilated.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the dark clouds in the sky in amazement, slowly eroding the moon.
That feeling was not only eroding the moon, but also swallowing the entire sky.
Compared with the joyful and excited crowd on the bridge just now, the people at this time were much quieter. Everyone fell silent in unison and looked at the terrifying scene in the sky.
They were quiet, on the one hand, perhaps because this sudden change in the sky frightened them, and on the other hand, it was because at this time, they could not help but feel an indescribable fear and coldness in their hearts.
I can't tell you exactly why I was afraid, it was just a coldness that could reach deep into my bones, making everyone keep quiet.
It was as if something terrible was peering at them from afar in the darkness.
On the entire three-kilometer Yangtze River Bridge, tens of thousands of citizens looked like sculptures, staring blankly at the moon that was gradually being engulfed by dark clouds in the sky.
"Dear listeners, the weather conditions are clear tonight, with a temperature of 20-23 degrees Celsius and no wind. It is very suitable for citizens to enjoy the once-in-a-millennium astronomical wonder of double stars accompanying the moon..."
On the radios carried by some citizens, the voice of the weather forecast anchor, although not loud, was extremely clear on the quiet bridge at this time.
At this time, Jiuxian Mountain and Back Mountain.
The back mountain is inaccessible, but at this time in the deep mountains and dense forests, there are still lights shining in the forest.
This is Cao Yunfeng's gold mine.
Although it was late at night, the lights in the gold mine were still bright, and the work of mining for gold continued.
Yes, this gold mine is spinning day and night. Cao Yunfeng has put all his efforts into this gold mine. There has been no harvest for a whole year. It can be said that his mood is more urgent than anyone else's.
He just wants to find a gold mine as soon as possible to reverse his current predicament.
Therefore, after Yuan Ke and his team were forced to stop work due to a mining accident last time, and because his daughter married into the Xiong family, he gained support from the Xiong family, so Cao Yunfeng immediately restarted the gold mine.
The Xiong family not only provided financial support to Cao Yunfeng, but also spoke for Cao Yunfeng in the government. At the same time, they took the initiative to send twelve professional gold mining personnel to Cao Yunfeng. After all, Cao Yunfeng lost a lot of money in the last mining accident.
Twelve professional gold mining personnel.
Cao Yunfeng was very grateful for this and happily accepted the twelve gold miners.
At this time, the bottom of Pit No. 3 of the gold mine.
More than a dozen people are standing in the bottom cave of this mine. This is a large cave. Around the cave, more than a dozen smaller tunnels have been dug out.
This place is underground, almost eighty meters above the gold mine.
"How's it going? Did you find the gold mine?"
When someone emerges from the small tunnel, Yuan Ke, who is in the big cave, will immediately come forward to ask.
However, everyone shook their heads.
"We have to hurry up, we must not let Mr. Xiong down." Yuan Ke held a detection instrument in his hand and said to everyone.
"That's necessary. Although we work in the Cao Yunfeng gold mine, in the end we are still Mr. Xiong's people. For finding the gold mine, we can take credit for Mr. Xiong as soon as possible."
"Yes, if we find it and tell Mr. Xiong, we will definitely be the first to do it."
"Yeah, but we have to remember that we have to hide it from Cao Yunfeng and other people in this gold mine, so that they can't find out anything."
"Don't worry, Yuan Ke can handle it. This guy is the little leader of this gold mine."
"Tsk tsk, Yuan Ke is really not easy now. He has done such a big thing and has been reused by Mr. Xiong. When he becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget us." Everyone said again.
"Yeah, if it weren't for Yuan Ke, Cao Yunfeng wouldn't have died so quickly." Someone said with a smile, "Hey, he is a talent if he can kill twelve people at once without being suspected."
"By the way, Yuan Ke, how did you kill those twelve people? Without showing any flaws?" Someone asked curiously.
"Flaw, what kind of flaw? I really encountered a mysterious creature!" Yuan Ke said seriously, "So, everything I said is true and not made up. It is a real thing, so of course there is no flaw!"
"Fuck, isn't it? Stop being ridiculous!"
"That's right. It was obviously Mr. Xiong who ordered you to kill those twelve people, and then pretended to be a mysterious creature that appeared, deliberately creating a panic effect and turning some ignorant people against Cao Yunfeng."
"Yeah, don't think we don't know, don't be kidding."
Everyone was a little frightened when they saw Yuan Ke's serious look and said hurriedly.
"Who are you kidding? It's true." Yuan Ke looked at the crowd, lowered his head, waved, gathered the dozen or so people around him, and then lowered his voice, "Let me tell you the truth, we are real
I encountered a monster! At that time, the twelve people and I also went to a mine, and we were different from this one.
Not much, suddenly the walls around the mine collapsed, and the monster came out. The monster was very scary. It spit out fire from its mouth and exploded everywhere. In an instant, the dozen or so people were reduced to ashes. I was
Fortunately, I stood far away, reacted in time, and rolled and crawled out of the mine, thus saving my life."
When everyone saw that Yuan Ke was speaking very seriously, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.
No, is there really a monster in this mine?
"Didn't you hear that Mr. Xiong asked you to blow them up with explosives?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"That's right, I was going to blow them up with explosives and then cause an accident. But before the explosives were detonated, the monster came out. I didn't dare to tell Mr. Xiong about this. If he didn't believe it, he would think that I
If he was teasing him, then I would be finished, so I still said he was killed with explosives, but in fact, he was really a monster." Yuan Ke said.
After he finished speaking, the entire mine became quiet, and an indescribable tense atmosphere spread in the mine.
"Damn it, it's true. So tell me, are there monsters in this mine?" Someone suddenly said.
Suddenly, everyone's faces turned pale, and they looked at each other fearfully. They all looked outside, as if they were ready to leave at any time.
"Hahaha." Yuan Ke burst out laughing, "I'm lying to you, there are no monsters anywhere, you believe it! If there are no monsters, those twelve people were indeed killed by me with explosives."
The hearts of everyone were relieved for a moment.
"Damn it, Yuan Ke, your joke is too big. It scared us to death."
"That's right, I really thought there was a monster!"
"Haha, you are too timid." Yuan Ke couldn't help but smile even more proudly when he saw that his trick was effective, "Even if there are monsters, what's so scary? I'm not afraid of monsters at all. Not only am I not afraid,
I hope I can actually meet one!"
"Okay, work, work!"
Everyone was in a false alarm, and gradually relaxed in their hearts.
At this time, Jiuxian Mountain is on the rooftop.
Lu Yuan pressed one hand on the handprint of the boulder, but he was kneeling on the ground. He was shaking all over. His whole body felt as if he was being continuously shocked by electricity. His brain seemed to be no longer his own at this time. Many things
As he was constantly being pulled away, more things were stuffed into his brain like a tide.
The pain made him grit his teeth, and he felt that the girl whose name he could no longer name was slowly moving away and slowly disappearing from his mind.
"No..." Lu Yuan called softly.
He stretched out his other hand and grabbed forward out of thin air, as if he wanted to catch the girl's figure. However, he couldn't catch anything, and the girl's figure became even further away.
The girl disappeared in an instant.
In front of his eyes, a sea of fire suddenly appeared.
The sea of fire was so big that it stretched for thousands of miles, just like a desert.
He felt that he was standing on the edge of the sea of fire, watching the flames reaching the sky, mercilessly devouring the creatures struggling in it.
drink!
A low cry came from his mouth.
Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head, as if trying to break free from the shackles on his body. At that moment, his eyes seemed to have spanned eternity and were filled with vicissitudes of life.
The dark clouds also completely swallowed up the last ray of light of the moon at the same moment!
Between heaven and earth, there is total darkness!
The wind has risen, the strong wind, the violent wind sweeping across the earth. On this originally quiet and peaceful midsummer night, the wind suddenly became violent.
Click!
A bolt of lightning suddenly split open the thick black night from the thick dark clouds overhead.
It's raining heavily!
The heavy rain instantly poured over Lu Yuan's body, and the rapid water flowed down his hair, falling crazily and across the corners of his eyes.
Lu Yuan was originally kneeling on the ground. At this time, he slowly stood up. Under the pouring rain, when he stood up, he was like a fish swimming upstream.
In the ink-like night, the rain is also like ink.
On the flat Jiuxian Mountain, under the huge nine rocks, Lu Yuan's figure is almost insignificant.
However, he looked so tall, as if he was the center of the world at this time.
He finally stood firm.
"Let there be light."
He suddenly raised his hand and breathed out softly.
It's like saying "I need a pillow" when I'm too tired.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly shot out from the dark clouds. It was a pillar of light that towered over the sky, shining directly down from the depths of the sky and hitting Lu Yuan's body.
The light was so strong that his figure almost melted into the light.
"What's going on?! You called me in the middle of the night."
"Xiaomei, isn't it just to test a lone star with a moon? Do you need to be so nervous?" A middle-aged man in pajamas, who looked anxious but looked very smart, said to an intern who looked like a female student.
"No, Professor Yang, tonight's observation data all showed great fluctuations. I, I'm worried that I messed up..." Xiaomei sat in front of a series of complex instruments and testing equipment with a panic look on her face.
At a loss.
At this time, the building in the middle of the courtyard of the China Literature Research Center was brightly lit and noisy.
It's late at night now. In fact, it should be very quiet here.
Because there are only a few interns left here to monitor the astronomical phenomenon of the lone star and moon tonight.
Although this lone star accompanying the moon is said to happen once in a thousand years and once in a hundred years among the citizens, for these astronomers, this thing is too common and nothing rare.
So just letting the interns do the monitoring is enough.
Unexpectedly, Professor Yang Yun and other astronomy center scientists, who were sleeping soundly, received a call in the middle of the night from Xiaomei and other interns, saying that there was a strange phenomenon in the monitoring data.
On the phone, these interns couldn't understand. There was no other way, so Yang Yun and others had no choice but to get out of their beds at home and come to the Astronomical Research Center overnight.
"Okay, what kind of fluctuation?" Yang Yun asked with a yawn. He is a top astronomer in China. He has been engaged in astronomical research for many years and has seen everything. So when he saw Xiaomei so panicked and nervous, he just felt like
So funny.
"Professor Yang, look, this is the data transmitted from the gravity sensor of the Earth's astronomical satellite, and these are spectral analysis of distant planets and the moon's orbit data..."
Xiaomei pointed at the complicated data graphs on the screen of the instrument, "First of all, tonight's lone star accompanied the moon, but it turned out to be a double star accompanied by the moon..."
When Xiao Mei said this, Yang Yun's originally sleepy face suddenly became a little more awake.
"Double stars accompanying the moon? This, how is this possible? According to the astronomical planetary trajectory, tonight Mercury, one of the eight planets, appears next to the moon. The brightness of Mercury is level 0, which is the brightest level among stars. When it appears
When you are next to the moon, it gives people the feeling of a lone star accompanying the moon, but how come there are two stars? Who is the other star? "
As Yang Yun spoke, he operated quickly on the keyboard. Suddenly, he stared at the screen in surprise, "The other star turned out to be the star α-4 in the constellation Yuqin. This star is 500 million light years away from the earth.
The distance is very far. If the distance from Mercury to us is the distance from the eye to the mobile phone, then the distance from this star to us is the distance from the eye to the moon."
"Of course, although it is very far away, the size of this star is six billion times that of the sun, and its brightness is three trillion times that of the sun. So although it is far away, it seems to be about the same brightness as Mercury.
For ordinary people on earth, the feeling of seeing the α-4 star is no different from the feeling of seeing Mercury. But, no matter what, it should not appear next to Mercury..."
"According to calculations, the α-4 star tonight appears in the Western Hemisphere. How could it appear next to Mercury? It's so strange. In this case, the entire law of universal gravitation and Kepler's astronomical laws will have flaws!
It even overturned our entire astronomical and mechanical system!"
The more Yang Yun talked, the more doubts appeared on his face.
"Is the satellite malfunctioning?" Yang Yun murmured, but obviously, this question made his face become very serious.
"Professor Yang, it's not just this. Look here again. This is a report from our astronomy center's magnetic field monitoring of high-altitude hot air balloons placed at 53,000 locations on the earth."
Xiaomei pointed to the data on the screen of another instrument and said, "Professor Yang, the data from the magnetic field monitoring of these hot air balloons have even more exaggerated anomalies!"
Yang Yun listened to Xiaomei's introduction and casually pulled up the data list with the mouse to check it out.
At this sight, Yang Yun suddenly seemed to be petrified, and he was stunned. At the same time, the mouse in his hand also clicked and fell to the ground.
"Oh my god, how, how could this happen? The gap is so huge, after checking hundreds of thousands of times?!"
Yang Yun lay in front of the screen and looked at the fifty-three thousand data of the earth's magnetic field in surprise. Several of them were displayed in red. Compared with the usual monitoring data, these monitoring data were orders of magnitude larger at this time.
, hundreds of thousands times more than usual!
"Professor Yang, what is going on?" Xiaomei was panicked, but she also seemed a little excited.
"The location of these data came from the hot air balloon?" When Yang Yun spoke, his eyes were still looking at the screen without blinking.
"Professor Yang, these places are 165'17 east longitude and 33'23 north latitude, which is roughly the location of Wujiang City in my country." Xiaomei said.
"How could the magnetic field here change so seriously? This, this is simply..." Yang Yun said this, with a look of horror on his face, "It's like two earths are stuck together, so there will be such a violent change."
magnetic field!"
"Professor, the hot air balloons in Wujiang City disappeared from the map. What happened?!" Xiaomei suddenly noticed that on the map of the instrument, several yellow dots representing hot air balloons suddenly disappeared. It was Wujiang City.
Those few.
"This is normal." Yang Yun saw the hot air balloon disappear, but he didn't think it was strange. "Because the magnetic field there suddenly became so huge, the mass of everything inside the magnetic field will also increase. The same must be true for the hot air balloon. The mass
If it increases, the buoyancy of the air cannot support it, and it is normal to fall."
"Professor Yang, look, here!"
At this moment, another intern hurried over with a stack of data.
"What is this?" Yang Yun took the data.
"Professor Yang, this is the data from the Wujiang Observatory just now. The moonlight they monitored is the time it takes to reach the earth."
"Isn't it 1.28 seconds?" Yang Yun was stunned. This is common sense that all children know. It only takes a little more than one second for light to travel from the moon to the earth.
"No, Professor Yang." said the intern, "the data they monitored is 2.11 seconds."
"What?!"
Yang Yun was immediately shocked.
Everyone else gathered around him in an instant.
It actually took 2.11 seconds for the light from the moon to reach the earth?!
This, how is this possible!
Although there is not much difference between 2.11 seconds and 1.28 seconds, in this case, the difference is simply too big.
"The moon is moving away from us!" an intern said in horror.
"Oh my God!" Everyone panicked. Is this the end of the world?
"No." Yang Yun shook his head with a solemn expression, "It's not that the moon is moving away, but that the speed of the moon's light has slowed down in that place."
"Huh? Slowed down?"
"Yes, the magnetic field monitoring on the hot air balloon has increased the magnetic field strength by hundreds of thousands of times. The strong magnetic field changes have caused space to be distorted. So although on the surface, the propagation distance of light has not changed, in fact, the space
The distortion lengthens the path of light, so the propagation time changes from 1.28 to 2.11!"
"Why, how could this happen? What happened in Wujiang City?"
"I don't know either. But according to Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, something with extremely high energy must have appeared in Wujiang City!"
At this time, Wujiang City, Yangtze River Bridge.
The rainstorm comes suddenly and stops suddenly.
Seeing the dark clouds slowly dispersing in the sky and the faint moonlight, everyone woke up from a dream, as if an outdoor movie had ended and everyone went home.
Puff puff puff!
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound all around, as if countless things were falling from the sky.
Everyone was shocked.
"It's a bat!"
"Why did so many bats fall down?"
Seeing tens of thousands of bats falling from the sky, this strange phenomenon also frightened many people.
Bang!
Not far away, a huge fluorescent light billboard erected at a high place suddenly fell and fell hard to the ground. It was shattered into pieces.
This sound was like a raindrop before a heavy rain.
Bang!
Another neon light fell from the sky.
Bang, bang, bang!
Just like ripe fruits falling from the trees, countless light boards, light boxes, neon lights, and various signboards kept falling from high places. For a while, half of Wujiang City fell into chaos.
Everyone scurried away with their heads in their hands.
At this time, Wujiang City, Jiuxian Mountain, Back Mountain, gold mine, inside the mine.
Yuan Ke and others continued to explore the mine, looking for information about the gold mine.
"Hey, you think it's strange, isn't it strange? The detector clearly detected that there is a lot of gold here, but why can't it be found after so long?"
"Who knows, I feel strange too."
Everyone is discussing.
"Ah! There is a monster!" Suddenly, Yuan Ke screamed sadly, but everyone laughed when they heard it.
After all, after what happened just now, everyone knows that this guy is a liar.
"Damn it, Yuan Ke, you're lying to us again. Just save it. If there really is a monster, I'm not afraid. This knife I have is not a vegetarian. I will send it to the west with one strike!"
"Then, let's have another monster hot pot meal!" Yuan Ke also said with a smile.
"Ha ha!"
Everyone also burst out laughing.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone was laughing when they suddenly stopped talking and stared at Yuan Ke.
"What, what's wrong?" Yuan Ke was also a little confused by the crowd staring at him.
"Yuan Ke, behind you!"
Someone pointed behind Yuan Ke and said tremblingly.
After saying that, several people collapsed on the ground.
Yuan Ke suddenly felt that there seemed to be a fiery breath behind his back. This breath was so hot that he couldn't help but panic.
He trembled and slowly turned his head.
Then, he sat down on the ground.
A beast that looked like a lion, but was even larger than the largest lion on earth, was staring at him.
The beast's head was half as big as his body, and its fangs were like rows of daggers.
There seemed to be fire in the eyes that were shaped like the mouth of a bowl.
roar!
The beast suddenly roared, making everyone's ears buzz.
This roar was so deep and long, as if he had been sleeping for thousands of years and suddenly woke up, the feeling of announcing to the world, "I, Hu Hansan, am finally back!"
Yuan Ke and others immediately fell into a pile and looked at the beast that suddenly appeared in horror.
"roar!"
The beast jumped lightly, gracefully and clearly, and came to Yuan Ke and others.
an hour ago.
Xiong family, wedding room.
Xiong Yao pushed Zhou Yun impatiently and pushed down the wedding bed.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Now that it is finally coming true, how can you not be excited?
He stretched out his hands to untie Zhou Yun's clothes.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Yun suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Xiong Yaohou said anxiously.
"The moonlight outside is so bright. You didn't even close the window. It makes me a little shy." Zhou Yun pointed out the window and said.
"Haha, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Wow, look, there are two stars next to the moon, just like us."
"yes."
"Okay, I'll close the window."
With that said, Xiong Yao got up and went to close the window, but as soon as he walked to the window, it suddenly became dark outside.
"Hazy, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have needed to close the window." Xiong Yao said a little depressed. Yes, after being delayed for several seconds, he hurriedly returned to the bed and started to untie Zhou Yun's clothes again.
At this moment, there was a strong wind outside.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Yun said again, "It's windy outside. Look, the curtains are blown up. It's such a strong wind. Go and close the windows again."
Xiong Yao was helpless, but what Zhou Yun said was right. Not only was it windy outside, but it was also raining. It was really not suitable to open the windows. The strong wind blew the curtains flying.
He ran over in a hurry and closed the curtains and windows haphazardly.
He hurriedly returned to Zhou Yun's side.
"Let's start the bridal chamber now, haha!" Xiong Yao said and began to take off his clothes.
He was just about to take off his clothes when, at this moment, click!
There was a sudden thunderbolt outside, which scared Xiong Yao so much that he rolled from the bed to the ground.
"Damn it, damn it, what's going on? God is really not kind to me. I have to deal with so many things during my bridal chamber." Xiong Yao got up depressed. Yes, he was really depressed.
Damn it, sometimes it gets dark, sometimes it winds, sometimes it rains, sometimes it thunders, why don’t we let people have a wedding?
What the hell!
The weather forecast said it would be clear tonight, but it turned out like this!
"Come on, Honghong, don't worry about all that, let's get started!" Xiong Yao decided not to care about anything else, let's do it first!
However, at this moment, Zhou Yun suddenly sat up from the bed and looked out the window blankly.
"What is that?"
Zhou Yun seemed to have seen something, looking out the window, and walked towards the window as if being guided by something.
"What's there?" Xiong Yao followed Zhou Yun depressedly, "Let's go to the bridal chamber first."
"That's..."
Zhou Yun had already reached the window at this time, and saw a faint beam of light falling from the sky in the distance outside the window. There seemed to be something in the beam of light, and then slowly rose up.
It's human!
To be precise, it is the shadow of a person's shape.
It looked like a young girl, with long hair and light body.
Zhou Yun's heart moved, that's what he looks like!
However, it was not me, it was an ethereal shadow, as if made of smoke. She was slowly getting bigger, rising, and becoming gradually blurry.
It seems to be disappearing.
It seems to have disappeared from somewhere, from someone's heart.
That shadow is leaving!
Zhou Yun suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, a tingling sensation that spread throughout his body.
"Lu Yuan!" she blurted out.
Immediately, he ran towards the door and towards the beam of light.
