Chapter 51: The Trick of the Starry Sky
"What's the situation?"
"Hurry up, where's the people in the control room? Where did it go? ”
A cacophony of footsteps echoed through the empty building, and several uniformed men anxiously rushed down the corridor into the control room.
Cheng Lin went against the flow of people and walked out of the building quickly.
Then he looked back at the deep-space antenna behind him.
The eyes are inexplicable and complex.
Without further thought, he quickly ran out of the area and back onto the road, where the ghost taxi without a driver was still parked quietly.
As if waiting for him.
Cheng Lin opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and then heard the sound of the engine starting, and soon, the car started, quickly moved away along the road, spared a circle, and drove back to the city.
As for the antenna, it quickly disappeared from Cheng Lin's field of vision.
"Hoo ......"
Leaning on the seat with his whole body relaxed, Cheng Lin closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
The task of the fourth part has been completed.
The fifth mission was slow to give him a hint.
From stealth in the morning, take a ride to Taoyuan Airport, come to the easternmost prefecture-level city in the entire Xia Kingdom, and then take a ghost taxi to the deep space antenna to transmit signals.
This whole process is very different from the previous two.
So far, the direction of civilization still seems to have not changed, and he has done four missions in one go, which is only a radio wave sent to the universe.
Obviously, the real deduction is yet to come.
"What I'm doing now is more like a ...... Foreshadowing, well, foreshadowing. ”
Cheng Lin thought in his heart.
Then, remembering the contents of the radio waves, his brow furrowed deeply.
"Hello...... Cheng Lin...... So this phrase I'm broadcasting to the universe to say hello to myself? Greet? Be all abroad! It doesn't make any sense! ”
Cheng Lin opened his eyes, deeply confused.
"No, it's not meaningless, my radio waves are emitted from that antenna, and there is a good chance that there will be information left.
And, although it is said that it should be a long wave, not a short wave,
But I'm not entirely sure it won't be picked up by other telescopes on Earth.
I still know too little about this area......
Moreover, it is not clear how this radio wave was compiled, and what would have happened if it had been deciphered?
Let's not consider foreign countries first, let's just say that the domestic government,
Once they learned that someone had sent out 'Hello, Cheng Lin!' to the universe through the antenna. This sentence,
So what?
They will definitely think of the first two projections and then track them down! ”
Cheng Lin's hands were unconsciously clasped together, rubbing, and his eyes were full of thought:
"Before the projection appeared the name of the person, they may have tried to parse it,
But because the logical chain is not established, it is difficult for them to connect it with me,
Unless those big people open up the perspective of God,
But this time it's different,
I suddenly disappeared from the Ninth Courtyard, and I will definitely be noticed,
Then Teacher Luo also knew that there was an invisible person who took her car,
And got off the bus near Taoyuan Airport,
Although the flight from Taoyuan Airport to Jiamusi did not leave a trace,
But the ghost car ......
A taxi with no driver and passengers in sight ran from the airport to the deep space antenna,
This way was filmed by the cameras on the road,
Once these clues are linked, it's easy to deduce that I have a problem,
I even guessed that I was the one who sent the signal......
Hmm, could it be misconstrued that I'm provoking the world? ”
Cheng Lin's thoughts were confused for a while, and he began to think about it wildly, but fortunately, all of this is a deduction, and when the deduction is over, these will disappear.
So even if the whole world knew that he did it,
And how?
When the deduction is over, buddy will slip away!
Love whoever you are!
Thinking of this, the corners of Cheng Lin's mouth turned up slightly, and he felt a little irritated inexplicably.
And that's when he noticed that the glass of the taxi was starting to blur.
"Time is speeding up again......
He muttered, leaning back in his chair in a comfortable position and looking out the window.
After a few seconds, he noticed that the blur had disappeared, and there seemed to be snow floating outside the car window.
Yes, snow.
Looking out of the car window, the world turned white, and it was completely dark, and according to the time of winter in the Northeast, it was about six or seven o'clock in the evening.
Although it was night, Cheng Lin could still see the snow on both sides of the road with the help of the headlights.
The mountain peaks in the distance turn dark blue in the night, and the snow covers the world in silver, which is very enchanting.
Goose feather-like snowflakes flutter in the air and are illuminated by the headlights.
A strong sense of tranquility arises.
Soon, the snow seemed to stop.
Then, the windows flashed again, and it was still dark, but the snow on the road seemed to be thinner than before.
Vehicles are no longer in the uninhabited suburbs.
Instead, he drove slowly on one of the main roads in the city.
"Drip~Drip~"
"Drip~Drip~"
The road is a little crowded with cars, flanked by high-rise buildings with lights on, and colorful billboards, and the snow on the road has been swept away, making it slippery and black, as if it has just been washed in water.
Cheng Lin saw that in a car opposite, a couple driving was wearing a couple's down jacket and was talking about something with a smile.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, the man turned his head to look at Cheng Lin.
And then......
Glared at him, and said something to him through the two layers of glass.
Looking at the lip shape, it seems to be a sentence of "What are you looking at?" ”
Well, this man seems to have misunderstood something.
"Huh? Can he see me? ”
The first thought in Cheng Lin's heart turned out to be this.
Aren't you invisible?
Has the effect been removed?
Where is this? Or is it still in Gamus? Or is it somewhere else?
[Time is always in a hurry, like water between your fingers, you can't grasp it, it's been a year and a half since you invaded the central control computer and broadcast to the universe]
Sure enough, time sped up.
"Correct you, it's you, not me, who hacked into the computer." Cheng Lin said seriously.
【…… In the past year and a half, the world has remained peaceful, and your disappearance has caused some turmoil in some areas, but that's all]
[Even the most powerful person in the world can't trace a person who has disappeared]
[Hehe, people are always so forgetful, in just a year and a half, people have almost forgotten the projections that have appeared, in this era of information torrents, everyone's memory is only seven seconds]
"Bang bang."
Cheng Lin clapped a few symbolically, and then motioned for it to continue.
"Crunch!"
The sound of braking sounded, and the taxi without a driver suddenly turned into an alley and stopped.
Cheng Lin didn't wait for it to urge, and consciously opened the car door.
Not...... Somewhat cold......
It was obviously winter at the moment, especially in the northernmost province of the summer country, and the temperature was especially low.
Fortunately, the wind was not strong, but Rao was like this, and Cheng Lin, who was still wearing the uniform of the summer college, was still trembling, and a layer of pimples appeared on his exposed skin.
There was no one in the alley.
Cheng Lin glanced at what he was wearing, and thought that going out like this would probably attract attention.
After thinking about it, he turned around and opened the door to the safe house and returned to the dormitory.
A few minutes later, in the silent alley, Cheng Lin's figure appeared out of thin air.
He changed into a winter coat and a black down coat, which wrapped his whole body.
"That's a lot more normal."
Cheng Lin smiled lightly and walked out of the alley.
Came to the street.
I don't know what day it is today, it's very lively, cars come and go, the shops along the street are brightly lit, and after walking a few steps, you can still see some residual red firecracker skin on the side of the road.
"Is it over the New Year?"
Cheng Lin thought about this, and saw a cursor leading the way appear on the ground again.
Without saying a word, he followed the cursor's instructions, and anyone who bumped into him along the way would look at him, and it was clear that the invisibility effect had indeed disappeared.
Walking all the way, Cheng Lin also determined that he was still in Jiamusi City according to some signboards.
As for the time...... Glancing at my phone.
"Ah, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
A day of family reunion.
In previous years, the Lantern Festival had not yet started, so Cheng Lin would cook a meal by himself, then turn on the TV, play some cross talk sketches and other programs, and then celebrate the festival alone.
Sketches are only good in the past, and he doesn't like to watch them in recent years, mainly because those shows are all bad one by one, and he wants the audience to be moved and want the audience to cry.
It just doesn't make people laugh.
The cross talk is better.
Thinking of these things, Cheng Lin put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly along the street.
Soon, he reached the finish line.
It turned out to be the bank of the Songhua River!
Perhaps because of the festival, there are many people on the riverside at this moment, most of them are a few families together, or couples, or friends, and some small vendors, and the small carts are full of colorful lights.
In the distance, there is an unknown torii, which is brightly lit, and bright colors such as red and yellow flutter in the dark night.
At this moment, there was still a group of people squatting by the river who didn't know what to do, and they were wondering, when suddenly a series of sounds sounded in their ears.
"Woohoo!"
A stream of brilliance suddenly rose from the ground, like a meteor, rushing into the night sky.
Then, when they reached a certain high point, they suddenly stopped, and exploded with a bang, bursting into a large group of fireworks like splendid flowers!
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
"Crackle!"
Yellow, green, red, white...... Colorful beams of fire burst into brilliant, warm, flamboyant, and brilliant flowers in the night sky.
The whole cold and monotonous night sky was gorgeous and gentle!
"Wow! Fireworks! ”
"Mama, look! Look! ”
"What about mobile phones? Husband, what about the phone? Take a picture of me! ”
"Huo, this is beautiful!"
The people on the riverside suddenly raised their heads collectively, the excited cheers of young children, the shouts of women, the chatter of men, and the cries of street vendors were mixed together, and the cold night sky seemed to be as warm as spring in an instant.
Cheng Lin stood quietly and lonely in the crowd, looking up at the large balls of fireworks.
His face was illuminated, and his eyes reflected the multitude of colors and the brocade night and the stars on the fireworks background.
Today's night was really nice.
The stars twinkled, the sky was clear, and the stars were silently and faintly dotted on the dark background.
Every flicker can be seen clearly.
And that bright moon is even more beautiful.
The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the roundest, and its brilliance is so beautiful and cold, that the shallow shadows on the surface of the moon that have always been facing the surface of the earth are so clear.
Her reflection sank in the water of the Songhua River, trembling from time to time with the waves.
Occasionally, it shatters into numerous flares of light.
[You stand on the riverside, admiring the fireworks, and the bright moon, and your heart is peaceful, but compared to the short-lived fireworks, the stars are more permanent and contain many mysteries]
[It is said that people on the ground can only see 59% of the moon at most, but they will never be able to see the far side of the moon]
[Just like human beings observe the universe, what is observed in the lens is always only a part of the truth, and more secrets cannot be discovered]
[There are often powerful beings in the universe that humans cannot guess, and they are also a kind of mystery]
[Since the invention of the radio, humans have begun to transmit information to the universe, but they have never received a response]
[However, who can guarantee that this will continue forever?] 】
The information in my head stopped.
Cheng Lin's gaze became cold and puzzled.
The smile on his face had disappeared for some time, and he just stood there, looking up, staring at the night sky.
At some point, some of the twinkling stars suddenly became brighter.
The color also changed from white to crimson.
The crimson stars set the entire night sky in the background, outlining a grand outline that spans the Milky Way.
At first, the outline was not yet discernible as it was.
But with that bright full moon also dyed scarlet, and became a blood moon, the outline was much clearer.
After a few more seconds, the crimson moon split into another self in a trance.
It is symmetrically distributed with the Milky Way as the middle perpendicular.
Two moons appeared in the sky.
They were like a pair of eyes, scarlet eyes, looking down on the land.
And when the eyes were completely clear, the outline of the surrounding circle of stars suddenly came alive.
"Face!"
Cheng Lin's eyes widened suddenly, and he was short of breath!
He could see that the pattern of two moons and many stars was a human face!
Or more like a red mask!
An incomparably huge starry sky treacherous face many, many, many times larger than the earth!
The blood moon was his eyes.
Around him was a circle of stars was his face.
The semi-arc pattern of dozens of stars was his smiling mouth.
A smiling eerie face looking down on the earth!
Cheng Lin stood on the spot, stunned at this scene.
Real deduction...... Is it finally coming?
At this time, the people gathered on the banks of the Songhua River finally discovered the strange changes in the night sky.
"Ahh Look! ”
A shrill and piercing woman's exclamation suddenly erupted.
"Heavenly...... What's that?! ”
