***
Yu Danyi lay on the edge of the rooftop fence, watching a few of them blend in with the flow of people rushing out of the teaching building and rush towards the school gate.
Yu Danyi reversed his previous excitement and looked at the backs of Xu He and the others until they disappeared into the sycamore forest road with few branches and leaves, and after a while, he pretended to joke:
"Eh, Ning Ning, you said that this separation, will it be the last time we will meet Dahe?"
She didn't get an answer.
The girl turned around strangely, only to find that the subject of her question had stood on the fence of the roof at some point, with her head up, her straight posture like a swan with a neck, and the back under the dome gave her a strange sense of independence.
Yu Danyi was stunned for only half a second, holding his breath and moving his steps slightly. Before he could get within three meters, Ye Ningning turned sideways slightly and lowered his head, "What are you doing?"
Her gaze was indifferent and distant.
The strangeness that had been suppressed by the subconscious before finally floated sluggishly, Yu Danyi swallowed her saliva, and her voice trembled slightly, "Ning Ning, come down, you stand so high, I can see that I am panicking!"
Ye Ningning looked down at her, "Do you have a fear of heights?"
"Huh?"
"If you have a fear of heights, it's better to overcome it or you'll die. Saying casually, with a slight spin on his toes, Ye Ningning jumped from the fence of less than a meter, landing silently, and even the dust did not shake much.
Yu Danyi didn't understand why she noticed this. The sense of disobedience in her heart became stronger and stronger, and she watched Ye Ningning walk towards a lime bucket in the corner of the wall, and was blindsided for a long time, not sure if she had heard it wrong just now - death?
Over there, Ye Ningning walked to the corner of the rooftop, bent down in front of a yellow lime bucket, and reached out to hold a stick that he didn't know what to stir. Yu Danyi subconsciously followed two steps, then stopped, and said, "...... Ning Ning, how do I think, from just now, you are a little weird......"
To such an obvious question, until now discovered?
Ye Ningning didn't feel the need to answer.
She stirred up some clumped lime powder in the bucket, was satisfied, lifted the bucket, carried it to the good position, straightened up again, and looked left and right.
"What are you looking for, Ning Ning?"
"Window frames. Ye Ningning finally answered.
"Window frames?" Yu Danyi took a moment to react, "Do you mean those alloy window frames left over from the old windows in the teaching building?"
"Hmm. ”
While speaking, Ye Ningning had already found what he was looking for near the entrance of the rooftop.
The seventh school building is an old building, with a history of more than ten years, and the windows were only replaced once half a year before the advent date.
I don't know why, there are a batch of alloy window frames that may be redundant, left on the roof of the building, and these window frames have been torn apart, and there are even a few rusty iron chisels found out of nowhere - it is said that some boys who like to go to the roof to "move" in the deep middle school "relics".
Ye Ningning was ready to go downstairs to get the fire axe, but he didn't expect that in the parallel space, the boys in the deep middle school still retained this tradition.
It's better that way.
The rest of her work has to find the right "weapon".
Picking and choosing, he chose two alloy window strips with sharp tips and appropriate lengths and half-truncated iron strips, and Ye Ningning polished the tips more sharply on the roof fence.
Z-la-la-
Z-la-la-
Before the winter passed, the morning sun was a little cold, there was no wind on the roof of the empty teaching building, even breathing became clear, and the friction between the alloy window strips and the metal fence made goosebumps.
Looking at Ye Ningning's focused and serious side face, the alloy surface shone a cold white reflection on her face, and Yu Danyi inexplicably felt like she had entered the Chainsaw Massacre Shooting Theater.
She rubbed her forearm and muttered to herself: "It's over, Ning Ning is too stimulated, and she has a mental problem......"
"If you're idle, find someone to work with and prepare with me. Ye Ningning's faint voice came.
“…… Oh, oh!"
Yu Danyi hurriedly responded.
This state should be in a good way, and she can't be stimulated anymore, maybe she will be able to recover later.
Hurriedly went to pick up an alloy window strip, Yu Danyi casually grinded a few times on the rooftop guardrail, and when Ye Ningning finished polishing, Yu Danyi also stopped.
Ye Ningning could naturally see her perfunctory, and glanced at it indifferently, Yu Danyi hurriedly grinded it more than a dozen times, and when Ye Ningning walked away, he hurriedly followed her towards the lime bucket.
"Ning Ning," she carefully weighed her words, "Are you worried about chaos? You, don't be afraid! Your dad and my dad are coming soon, if your dad is late, why don't you come with us!"
It was obviously her who was panicking, but she still insisted on comforting others - this temperament is quite similar to the cheerful and enthusiastic Yu Danyi in her impression.
Memory fragments flooded from the corner, and Ye Ningning's tone loosened a little.
"They can't come. ”
Habitually holding the weapon - although it is still very rudimentary - in his hand, Ye Ningning began to familiarize himself with the environment, measuring the length and width in steps, counting in his heart, no matter how Yu Danyi followed, Ye Ningning always maintained a distance of more than two meters from her:
"In about seven or eight minutes, the progress will be 100 percent. ”
"Seven, seven or eight minutes?" The countdown to the progress in his mind kept ringing, and Yu Danyi was not completely unaware of the unknown, "But now it's only counted down to 45.5%, according to the previous time, how can it be at least forty or fifty minutes?"
"Who told you that the progress must be at a constant pace? ”
Ling lips hooked a mysterious smile arc, Ye Ningning said, "When it advances to 50%, the progress of the fusion of the antimatter law will rush to 99.9%. Take a good look at this sky, this is the last time you'll see the sky of the industrial age. ”
As her voice lowered, she looked away and looked at the sky again, muttering to herself, "This kind of sky polluted by industrial haze but without monsters flying on it is quite nostalgic......"
She raised her head, and showed that kind of distant expression that seemed to be remembered and missed, which made Yu Danyi feel extremely distant and unfamiliar, and people couldn't help but have a very clear feeling that in the shell of this young girl was a strange soul that had been tempered.
Yu Danyi couldn't find a reasonable explanation for Ye Ningning's changes, she laughed dryly:
“…… Will progress jump from 50% to 99.9%......? Ning Ning, don't be scary! Could it be that you were reborn from later? Haha! Sister is still possessed by aliens!"
She raised her hand, habitually wanting to push Ye Ningning's shoulder, but the latter turned her head and glanced at her with a smile, causing Yu Danyi's hand to stop in mid-air.
Withdrawing his hand in embarrassment, Yu Danyi looked away, his gaze subconsciously swept downward, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, why did Da He come back?"
Not only Xu He, but also many candidates wearing deep middle school uniforms returned, like chickens and ducks driven back to their nests by natural enemies, rushing towards the direction of the teaching building in horror.
Yu Danyi didn't pay attention, but Ye Ningning squinted, she faintly heard a louder and louder noise in the direction of the front door of the school.
Riot?
Affecting the campus of Shenzhen High School so quickly?
The last life wasn't so fast.
Ye Ningning squinted his eyes, listened slightly for a moment, and his slightly fluctuating eyes calmed down: It doesn't matter, there are only more than six minutes left before 100% progress, and the riot will not affect the teaching building.
Holding the alloy window strip with one hand, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, selected the top of the call record and dialed the number, and sure enough, the signal had been interrupted.
Ye Ningning smiled, clicked on the audio software of the mobile phone system, put the mobile phone on the guardrail, and the singing voice came out of the speaker in the mobile phone: "...... No matter ~ you have a penny or a thousand dollars...... It doesn't matter ~ whether you're an ant or a god - la......"
The pale sky of the winter sun, the singing that seems to be far and near, the empty rooftop, and the hustle and bustle downstairs...... The chatter of the other girl in her ear was far away, and the flat voice in her head was extremely clear, Ye Ningning squinted, and counted down silently in her heart:
“…… Six...... Five...... Four...... Three...... Two...... One!"
“…… 50.0――99.9、100%!”
In the disbelief that Yu Danyi's eyes widened suddenly, the mechanical voice was indifferent and announced:
"--The laws of antimatter are fused, Earth Online is loaded, the game is activated, and players are welcome to log in--"
With this mechanical sound, the sky suddenly darkened, the sun and clouds all disappeared, but the light was strangely not completely gone!
At this moment, human beings standing on the earth seem to be able to see through the thick atmosphere and see the dark and cold space outside the earth!
Then, like a rain line thrown into a puddle of water, layers of energy ripples rippled like ripples, enveloping the entire earth.
Ignorant people suddenly discovered that the sky above their heads, which seemed to have not changed at all, had already been covered by an invisible layer of energy, and the entire earth had not been surveyed in advance by any instruments and satellites!
This layer of energy is like an open giant umbrella, resisting the invasion of unknown energy from the universe.
Seven billion human beings are like ignorant bacteria at the bottom of a puddle, maintaining the same sluggish posture of looking up, looking at the sky in ignorance as if the end was coming.
"Thank God, this will be the Lord's blessing!"
"Allah Allah is on ......"
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
Before people around the world had time to cheer for the catastrophe, the sky was dark again, and hundreds of millions of white lights shot down like silk threads, like a downpour in the sky, and people's eyes were occupied by countless rays of light!
The thin line of light and rain gradually fell like a meteor from far and near, dragging a slender white tail flame and falling towards the earth.
At this moment, even the human beings who deceive themselves cannot help but admit that the whole world has changed dramatically.
Countless people involuntarily opened their mouths, spewing gas from the deepest part of their lungs through their throats, and thousands of almost unanimous cries converged over the city, setting off an unprecedented, huge wave like a tidal wave, and the decibel broke through the roar of the plane when it took off, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums of people in high-rise buildings:
"Ahh――――――!!!!!!h
On the rooftop, Ye Ningning didn't look at the "meteors" in other directions, and stared closely at nearly a hundred white lights falling towards the seventh teaching building!
Most of the white light penetrated the floor of the rooftop and fell to the lower levels, and only three fell on the rooftop, and the light gradually disappeared, exposing the things shrouded in the white light.
