"...Tsk." Zhang Ke's expression became serious, and he could smell the vague truth.
"That's not all. When he opened the ink-stained diary the next day, he only wrote a date title, and then..." Yessurin paused, as if he was thinking of how to describe it more appropriately:
"Like...an angry beast, he angrily tore off the page of paper, then tore it into pieces, then put it in his mouth and chewed it fiercely and swallowed it until the entire page was eaten and wiped clean.
After that, he gradually calmed down, and his eyes became inexplicably hollow and lifeless..."
"Judging from the time, the diary on that day was used to predict February 15, 2019 - it turned out to be this date again. It would be too strange to say it was a coincidence. It seems that this is indeed a special day."
Zhang Ke pondered, "Your classmate named Nangong Xihe is currently the first person to have contact with Lingtai Kongmingding. Could this have something to do with it?"
"I didn't know at the time what you told me today about time loops, Qingtian prophecies and the like, so I couldn't understand Nangong's behavior at all. But now I combine the two intelligences, especially the coincidence of this key date, and
As the spiritual platform Kong Ming Ding is a common object, I think the two do point to the same hidden truth." Ye Suling said:
"I'm not sure whether February 15, 2019 is the real end of the world, but it is likely to be a special day when something big will happen, and time will reincarnate. Nangong also knew it five or six years ago.
Prediction has arrived - if according to you, this time loop has not happened and it is already February 16th, that means..."
Ye Suling didn't say anything further. Of course Zhang Ke understood what she meant - that incident was so terrifying and weird that Nangong Xihe didn't even have time to write it down. Just thinking about it made him almost go crazy. The incident of tearing up and eating the diary had already happened.
Already.
Is that the end of the world as Yuan Qiushi said? Or is it something else? In short, it definitely doesn't look like a good thing.
And the two of them are now about to leave this peaceful ruins and face a world that may be crueler than imagined.
Even a strong woman like Ye Suling would be shaken at this time.
"It doesn't matter -" Zhang Ke subconsciously squeezed Ye Suling's hand and said, "Even in the worst case scenario, it's the end of the world outside and all human beings are wiped out, at least we are still alive - and we must continue to live."
"Well, thank you for letting you see that I also have a weak side." Ye Suling shook her head with a smile and said, "Really, after being a policeman for so many years, what do I have to fear from an illusory prophecy now?"
"Speaking of which, where did Nangong Xihe go? Did you give up monitoring him?" Zhang Ke asked.
"After that, he gradually returned to normal, and the diary became the most ordinary daily content. I found that there was no information that could be mined on him, so I had to give it up for the time being." Ye Suling said, "As for him, he should have been detained in school later.
I’m a lecturer now, but I haven’t been back to school for a long time.”
"If we go out this time and the civilized society outside still exists, we can go and talk to him together." Zhang Ke said, "Now you are a policeman. Even if you are investigating a treasure-stealing gang and you need his help in the investigation,
He should have no reason to refuse."
"Well..." Ye Suling nodded, "With you here, maybe I can get more useful results. After all, you yourself are a personal experiencer of reincarnation."
As the two of them talked, they walked staggeringly for several kilometers. In their field of vision, a suburban road appeared not far away.
"It seems that the moment has finally come when the answer is revealed."
Both Zhang Ke and Ye Suling subconsciously held their breath and almost jogged through the last few steps and arrived at the deserted road.
Walking along the road to the end, it was the terminal station that Zhang Ke had visited before. At this time, there was not even a bus in the station, and there were neither pedestrians nor speeding vehicles passing by on the road.
Even the people who had taken drugs and were lying around on the road had disappeared without a trace, like water droplets evaporated by the sun.
"I have a bad premonition." Ye Suling said bluntly, "The scene in front of me is very abnormal. Even though this place is far away from the city and usually relatively remote, it is a bus terminal after all. Many people are waiting to take the bus along the way. Look.
It's almost six or seven o'clock in the sky now, so the first bus should have left early, so there won't be a single person or car on the road."
"Yes, what's more, those people who were still inhaling the mist last night and lying on the ground dreaming all woke up before the sun came up and went home without exception? I really don't believe this.
A person who is willing to degenerate can be so self-disciplined and organized..." Zhang Ke frowned and agreed.
As the two of them talked, they approached the dispatch room of the terminal and looked inside through the window glass. As expected, there was not even half a living person there.
"The building is completely empty... What happened? It seems that everyone in this area was evacuated in an emergency." Ye Suling pondered, "Is it because there was a disaster like a poisonous gas leak nearby?"
"Maybe it's not as simple as emergency evacuation -" Zhang Keze guessed, "Maybe some means were used to force him to disappear from here."
Although he didn't believe Yuan Qiushi's so-called [New Era God] statement at all, at this moment, facing this road that can be called "a road with no trace of people", he finally wavered a little - can everyone be united together?
It is wiped away completely at night without leaving any trace. Perhaps this is indeed an almost divine power.
"Well, this door is not locked tightly. Let me kick it open. Let's try to use communication tools such as telephone and Internet first to see if we can get in touch with the outside world."
Ye Suling glanced at the still malfunctioning mobile phone, sighed, pointed to the door of the dispatch room in front of her and said, "Rather than running away rashly, it would be safer to collect more information first."
"Yes, that's right." Zhang Ke nodded, and Ye Suling immediately kicked up the old wooden door in front of her and broke it into two pieces.
"You are so awesome."
Zhang Ke stood aside, not knowing what to say other than applauding. Thinking about it, if an ordinary person were to receive her full-strength kick on the waist, he would probably become disabled immediately. It seems that he must not offend this woman in the future.
Rushing into the room, the two of them felt an obvious warmth. Although it was no longer winter in February, the cold wind in the early morning was still biting. And along the way, the two of them, who were already shaking and crying, found that the house
There is also a warm air conditioner on.
"It seems that the people here haven't been away for too long - I'll make a call. You turn on the computer first and see if you can connect to the Internet." Ye Suling quickly picked up the receiver of the landline and said.
