Probably because the inner world was too active after being blind, Fu Shen couldn't control the emotion on his face, so the expression of "you're kidding me" fell into the eyes of the other person in the room - the young woman, she let out a soft laugh: "You don't believe what I say." ”

"......," the god was silent, "you're very hostile to me, so I don't want to believe you." ”

"Even so, please listen to me before you judge - at least don't blast me out before I even speak."

The god was silent, and removed his hand from the call bell—he had found it hilarious and boring when Enoch had told him that it had been installed in his room, as if he were a helpless piece of waste......

Now he rarely wanted to use this thing, but he was still brutally persuaded to do so.

"I don't think there's anything to say between us." The god said.

"There's a lot to say."

"For example?"

"What I'm going to say next may represent the position of most of humanity."

“……”

The woman took two steps on the soft carpet and was probably thinking about something, then stopped and began to introduce herself to herself: "My name is Julie Qiong, and I am Jasmine's sister, and if it is as usual, the seventh of last month should be my twenty-fourth birthday." Before that, I used to be a kindergarten teacher, I had parents and a lovely sister, a boyfriend who was getting married, and a stable job...... Until the sun disappeared and the sky showed signs of wild hunting, my life was so flat that I could barely imagine what earth-shattering things would happen to me. ”

The god sat up slightly: he liked the beginning.

"I woke up early that day, as I usually do, and I saw the explosion at the suburban research institute in Delaare on the news network while I was having breakfast, and I was emotional, but I didn't really pay attention to it - after all, I thought it didn't have much to do with me, I still had my work and my life, and I didn't have even ten more minutes to care about what was happening in a place far away from me...... When I went out that day, it was a little colder than the day before, but I didn't pay attention to it, after all, it was still a cloudy winter. ”

"The Institute's impact shouldn't have been so fast."

"You're wrong, it's actually very fast." "Soon," Julie said, "Soon...... It was probably another day before the weather was unacceptably cold. Some parents have called to ask for leave, but there are still some children who come to the kindergarten, we turn on the heating to the maximum, the classroom is still like an ice hole, we are all cold, so cold that we can't even do games, and the clay for playing is frozen like a lump of ice...... My boyfriend and I called to complain about the hellish weather, and he told me to wear more, and then I put down the phone and tried to get some hot water for the kids, and then a kid came over and she told me that her friend was asleep and couldn't wake up. ”

Julie paused, realizing that what she had said was a bit incoherent, but after a moment, she continued...... It's just that his voice has become a lot lower and hoarse.

"That was the first time I looked at death. A child who was just four years old and didn't even have time to learn to ride a bicycle died in his sleep. ”

The god frowned slightly.

"He froze to death. Forgive me for not wanting to recall those days at all, I ...... I was terrified, I didn't know why this was happening, the heating was on, but it was a little cold in the classroom! I subconsciously called the police, and then frantically asked myself in my heart, will I be complained? Will I be taken to court? Will I be unemployed? What would the people around them think of this - the dereliction of duty of a kindergarten teacher? Although the only thing she did was walk away for about five minutes to make a call to her boyfriend? …… I was terrified. ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then I found out that my fears were entirely overwhelmed - Joanna - oh, the dead child, whose death was but a key that opened the door between heaven and hell and the world. The next day, the sun stopped rising, the phenomenon of the hunt, a symbol of the ancient curse, appeared in the sky, and when the world was swallowed up by eternal night, people began to die one after another, and no one remembered Joanna's death anymore, because death suddenly became so frequent. ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

The god said this - a pun on it, in one way or another.

The resistance on the black-haired young man's face faded at this moment, and he quieted down, deciding to finish what the woman wanted to say: whatever she had to say next.

"After a few more days, all the public facilities went into a state of paralysis, and some people rumored that the radiation from Delaare was affecting the weather, but we didn't know the real situation, and few people even understood why we suddenly didn't have the sun! After about a week, we stopped going to work, and in fact no one sent their children to kindergarten...... The principal informed me that the kindergarten was closed that day, because we no longer had even one child - oh, that was my last contact with the principal, and she was a kind woman, and God blessed her well, although I think she was probably ......."

Julie fell silent again.

"And then?" The god asked.

"My peaceful life was shattered, I couldn't get through to my boyfriend's phone anymore, the snow outside the door was so thick that I couldn't even get out of the house, and my mother said that if I insisted on going to him, I would go to death, because my legs might be frozen and necrotic in the snowdrift." Julie returned to a calm tone, and then her voice sounded like she was telling someone else's story, "About three days later, no one stopped me, because my mother was also dead, and my father was very sad, hiding in the room and crying with my mother's body, and when I wanted to ask him to eat something to preserve his body, I found that my father was also gone, probably a heart attack or something, who knows?" After all, at that time, the world was in chaos. ”

“……”

"The food in the supermarket has suddenly become a luxury, and the price is too, a small bag of powder is still willing to buy for 500 dollars, and chocolate is also very expensive...... High-calorie junk food has become a necessity of life. "But it was a short time, because soon the supermarket owners realized that money might soon become worthless scrap paper, and they began to pull down and slam the doors and refuse to sell anything, and they shut themselves up in the middle of the well-stocked shelves, and suddenly became the richest people in the world." ”

"What about you?"

"A lot of people froze to death, and my sister and I were locked up at home and didn't dare to go out - thinking about how long we could save the rest of the food to eat, finding everything in the house every day to make a fire, even destroying the furniture, and drinking the water from the snow melted outside the house, my mother used to say that it was not clean, but no one cared anymore, my mother was gone...... And I thought we'd die soon, too. ”

"In the end, you survived."

"Yes, we waited for help eventually, and then we came to this base and were told that we were probably the last surviving humans in Washington - we were placed on an empty floor, where men, women, and children gathered, and everyone was silent. We were assigned military supplies, three people shared a kettle, a small piece of compressed biscuit per person every day, there were soldiers patrolling everywhere, we didn't know what was going on, we just looked numbly, and didn't even want to talk-" Julie Joan smiled quickly, "I shared a kettle with a woman who was probably a Cambodian witch or something for a month, and in the end I didn't even know her name......"

"What about her?"

"Dead," Julie said to the bookcase, looking at her face reflected in the glass, her stiff smile turned into an expressionless expression, "I don't know if I starved to death or froze to death, or if I was simply suicidal - life became very meaningless at that time, people were just living, lifeless, hopeless." There are always people who say that they are not afraid of death and that they are afraid of being alive, and it makes no sense for me to say this: if you can live well, who would want to die? ”

When Julie had finished speaking, she turned to the god of cocoon, looking at the black-haired young man who was sitting on the edge of the bed, tilting his head slightly and listening to what seemed to be very serious, her eyes flickered, and became full of complicated feelings: "The story is over. ”

"Huh?"

"That's what I'm trying to say."

“……”

The cocoon thought about it, a little bit incomprehensible, but he always felt that he had actually understood-but he didn't dwell on it for long, because in the next second, his hand was gently covered by a soft hand: "I'm really, really sorry, everyone, including me, for your hostility and seemingly willful demands--it seems to you that you are indeed innocent and have been blamed for a strange responsibility...... But what have we done wrong in the world as it is now? ”

"Julie Joan, I ......"

"We're just living our lives like we did the day before! What did we do wrong and live in darkness forever? Parents, lovers, relatives and friends, one by one lost contact or were separated by yin and yang, at this time, what did we do wrong to lead zhì to bear such a heavy responsibility? ”

A drop of warm liquid fell on the back of the god's hand.

Julie's voice began to be unsteady, and she sniffed desperately, but more liquid fell down and made a slight "pop" sound, on the back of the cocoon's hand, on the carpet-

"I don't know what we did wrong or what went wrong...... The death toll reported in the news and on the radio is cold and vague, but behind each number is a myriad of lives and hopes that have been torn apart by life - I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we shouldn't be forcing you to do anything, in fact, everyone is crazy, we are all crazy! We tried hard to build a new home and love these strangers around us, but we all know that after all that experience, some things will never get better......"

Julie Joan sniffed, wiped her tears, let go of the cocoon god's hand, she stood up, looked down at the dark-haired young man who had been silent next to the bed, and said softly, "I'm really sorry for what we've been doing these days." Tomorrow we will leave, in fact, we have wanted to leave for a long time, every time we pass by the platform where we have stayed, we will remember the bad experience we spent there, and when we look at the gate of the base, we will remember how desperately stepped through the doorrail to enter here. ”

“……”

"That's all I want to say," said Julie, "I'm sorry to make you suffer from this, just when we're just a bunch of lunatics who have grasped the so-called ethereal life-saving straw and started to break down and go crazy!" Good night, Friggia, and I wish you a good night's sleep. ”

"So do you, Julie."

The brunette young man next to the bed said.

The door was opened, then closed. The room was filled with the tranquility that had been before Enoch had left, and before Julie Joan had struck.

Yiqiē seemed to be just an illusion of the god of cocoon, the god of cocoon raised his hand, the cold wind outside the window blew in, and the ice slag frozen into tears on the back of his hand fell on the instep of his foot, a little cold.
