"There is a meteor shower tonight, it hasn't occurred in a hundred years. I have already talked with a few old cla.s.smates and we are going to the suburbs together in order to watch it, are you coming?" At the other end of the microphone came a excited voice.
The young man sitting at the computer desk had the phone lying by his side and had a microphone on his ear. Both of his hands were placed on the screen in front of him. In his right hand he held a pen and he continued to drawing as he spoke. "The outside is too cold, I'm not going."
"Thank you for being lazy, why don't you lazy to death?" Their relations.h.i.+p had always been the same as that of brothers. Lu Yuan had therefore not truly been offended by the youth's crude refusal and proposed: "Well, let me at least take a few pictures for you later."
Xie Tao responded with a few disinterested "Mm-s" as the other person continued chatting and waited for the opposite person to hang up first. He then lifted a hand and took the microphone clipped to his ear and put it back on the phone base.
Xie Tao still wanted to continue working for a while, but when his fingers touched the edge of the drawing board, a stream of light glided through the corner of his eye, and then the next second a loud bang shook the tympanic membrane of Xie Tao. He could even feel the impact through his desk's tremors.
A meteor actually crashed in his yard...?
Xie Tao held onto his precious drawing board for a second before turning to look out at yard, he then finally decided to go out and have a look.
Walking downstairs he saw that many of his plants had been shaken by the impact and had fallen down, lying broken on the floor. As he went outside to the small yard he noticed that the potted plants he had planted were almost all the same, but it was too late to feel distressed. Looking around Xie Tao saw hole in the ground not far away, the hole was seemingly giving of a golden glow.
It was already a bit late and the sky had begun to darken, many things will s.h.i.+ne will be very conspicuous in the dim environment. Xie Tao thought about going closer to take a better look, however he suddenly saw something float up for the hole, it was a golden glowing ball...
"..." Xie Tao pressed his lips together and subconsciously took a stepped back.
Calm down, as a qualified citizen of the 21st century, he must believe and have faith in science...
However, the power of science obviously can't explain what he currently saw and neither could it save him in this moment. He prepared to run but the floating golden ball almost immediately saw through his intentions.
Just like a bullet, it shoot forward with a speed far too fast for Xie Tao to avoid and in the scene reflected in his eyes, the golden ball got getting bigger and bigger, then it hit him with a flash.
There was no pain, but Xie Tao's vision immediately darkened and fell into darkness.
When he regained consciousness, he found that the surrounding area had become a white s.p.a.ce with no end.
Science, from a firm believer to completely giving up.
He looked around. The s.p.a.ce seemed very unstable. In the distance, far way, he could see that some of the s.p.a.ce has even collapsed and twisted.
He felt that he had encountered a very troublesome thing....
However, once this unscientific reality was accepted, Xie Tao was able to cope with the current situation and turned his gaze to the golden light ball that brought him this s.p.a.ce.
He doesn't know if this ball of light is a conscious, but the other party is the only moving object he can touch in this s.p.a.ce. Xie Tao can only try to communicate now: "You..."
"I am Xia Zuo, I am sorry to bring you to this s.p.a.ce without greeting you first, but it's only here that I can talk to you." The voice that sounded directly in his head interrupted what Xie Tao wanted to say. The voice sounded very weak, but did not stop after the first sentence. "In my world, all the world lines leads to the same ending, even if I go back to the past to make all kinds of different choices, it doesn't matter. I even tried to kill the root cause of the destruction of the world... but the outcome has not changed."
The other party did not have much time left and despite the confusion of the young person in front of them, they had to rush through all the necessary things. "The final judgment requires the help of external forces, so I came to this world to find you."
