An asteroid with a diameter of 40 kilometers will pass through an orbit near the Earth for nearly a month.

Half a year ago, astronomical monitoring stations around the world took note of this, and they held many meetings to do so. After countless calculations and discussions, they confirmed that the asteroid would not collide with Earth.

According to its trajectory, it will pass by the Earth in a fairly close proximity, but will not cause any impact on the Earth.

Even when an asteroid passes by, people may be able to see an extremely rare astronomical sight.

Having come to this conclusion, the researchers at the testing station all let go of their hanging hearts.

You must know that when they first discovered that this asteroid was close to Earth, they were extremely nervous.

This is an asteroid with a diameter of more than 40 kilometers, and the consequences of an asteroid of this size once it collides with the Earth are absolutely unimaginable, and even the most optimistic results will lead to the death of more than a billion people.

The meteorite that indirectly caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs was only a dozen kilometers in diameter, and regardless of the ecological damage caused by the meteorite impact, the moment of impact alone was enough to bring devastating disasters.

Thankfully, though, they have proven that the asteroid will not hit Earth.

As for the astronomical sight of an asteroid passing through the Earth, it is also extremely valuable for observation. After pre-calculation, the researchers decided that the most suitable location for this observation was Central City.

They announced the news on the news, and for a while, this spectacle, which would have been a disaster, caused an astronomical craze, and many astronomy enthusiasts from all over the world came to visit, and the residents of Central City were also very much looking forward to it.

I heard that the mayor also asked the city's planetarium to broadcast the city's live broadcast through state-of-the-art astronomical equipment on the day the asteroid passed.

Almost everyone in Central is waiting for the spectacle to arrive.

Of course, this is not the case for everyone, for example, an outsider whose origin is unknown.

······

Hatsu and the puppy spent another night at the gate of the park, and the next afternoon, it rained again in the sky, and I don't know why it rained so much in the city.

When the cold rain falls on the body, it always makes people more awake, but sometimes people don't always want to stay awake.

The puppy in the cardboard box was whimpering, he hadn't eaten for more than a day, and he was indeed hungry. This made Chu regret a little, and she should have saved yesterday's sandwich for it.

However, if it was just hunger, she had a way to solve it.

Chu put his hand on the puppy's body, and the evil in the palm of his hand emerged, clinging to the puppy's belly and blending in.

Creatures eat in order to obtain energy to maintain the signs, and the first evil can temporarily replace this part of the energy. Of course, if you use evil for a long time, the body of ordinary creatures will have problems, and it doesn't matter if you use it occasionally.

With the integration of evil, the puppy's body regained its temperature, it stopped whimpering, and its breathing gradually became even and fell into a deep sleep.

Sleeping when you're full may be the reason why it's abandoned.

But why didn't Chu leave, perhaps, because the puppy was the first life she met in this world. Or maybe she just had nowhere else to go.

So Chu chose to wait here, waiting for the evil she was going to take away.

Hatsu let his hand go from the puppy's body and listened to the rain.

Her hearing has not been deprived, which allows her to hear almost everything in this rain.

In the distance, she heard the sound of someone talking at the end of the road, sounding like an adult and a little girl.

"Mom, Sakura is going to see the stars when the time comes. "The girl must be trotting, jumping on her feet, for at first I could hear the sound of her shoes stepping on puddles.

"Okay, let's go and see it together. You go slower and don't fall. This voice should belong to the girl's mother, and there is a strong pampering in her tone.

"Sakura won't fall, Sakura has grown up. The girl said with a smile as she walked down the road.

"Huh. The woman smiled gently.

The voices of the two men grew closer and closer, and when their voices were almost close to their ears, they saw the two on the street at first.

It was a woman in loungewear and a lively girl.

The girl ran in front of her in rain boots with a small umbrella, and from time to time she deliberately stepped into a puddle of water and made a splash, as if every child liked to play like this.

The woman followed with a smile, and she loved her daughter very much, and she could see it in her eyes.

She looked at the girl with the eyes as if she were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

It was also because of this that Chu shifted his gaze to look at the two, and the woman's eyes gave Chu a sense of familiarity.

But this familiar tenderness made Chu's chest very dull, and she had to do something else to divert her attention.

So I looked at the sin on the two of them, there was sin on the woman's body, although it was very light, it was still floating there, but the girl's body was not.

At first, I remembered a sentence that a person once upon a time said, children do not carry karma. The person who said this was a swordsman called Jizo.

She thinks that this statement makes a lot of sense, at least she rarely sees any evil in her children.

Evil must be karma, she thought.

Probably sensing Hatsu's gaze, the girl and the woman looked at Hatsu.

They all froze for a moment, for it was raining, and Chu was sitting alone in the rain.

Suddenly, the girl ran towards Chu with an umbrella, she trotted to the front of Chu, and handed the small umbrella in her hand to Chu with a smile.

"This umbrella is for you, Sakura can use one with her mother. ”

With that, she ran back to the woman, who smiled and touched her head, presumably complimenting her, and then took her away.

Holding an umbrella silently at first, she didn't understand why people would give her alms, especially children without sin.

She is clearly full of sin, and she knows that her sins are unforgivable, and the sins of even those who are guilty are less than one-ten-thousandth of hers.

She is a sinner, so why should she give charity to her, and why should she be gentle with her?

Hatsu became less and less inclined to feel the feeling of being touched, because she found that it would only make it harder for her to carry her sin.

She turned her head to look at the puppy next to her, and put the umbrella in her hand on its cardboard box, while herself, continued to sit in the rain.

She should be a sinner who is spurned so that she can not look back.

On the sixth day before the disaster, a girl named Sakura handed the messenger an umbrella.
