Kirton, Sean, and Lancey glanced at each other, and none of them seemed to understand what Lu Hua meant. They looked at Lu Hua together, waiting for him to explain.

Lu Hua shook his head with a heavy face and said, "After I went home yesterday afternoon, I started translating these poems without even eating dinner. Starting with the '09' one, every time I translate a poem, I try to analyze and decipher the meaning of the poem......"

"Before I knew it, I was working until midnight. Finally, at four o'clock in the morning, I translated the last poem of the book. Originally, I thought this book was the 'fifth volume' of this collection of poems, and the last page just meant that the fifth book was over—but I didn't expect that when I read the last poem through it, the whole person jumped up as if I had been electrocuted when I was drowsy. I was so frightened by the content of this poem that my whole body was chills and my hairs stood on end. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Hua's face was almost bloodless, and he snorted several times in a row, unable to speak as if he was choked by fear.

Kirton anxiously asked, "What the hell does the last poem say?" ”

Lu Hua pointed to the notebook on the coffee table and said, "Look for yourselves—skip the middle two pages and don't care, none of these matters." Look directly at the poem '12' at the end. ”

Kirton, Lancy, and Sean hurriedly sat down on the couch, their heads next to each other. Kirton quickly flipped through the pages of '10' and '11' after '09'. What appeared in front of their eyes was the longest poem in this poetry book -

"The last day of terror has finally arrived,

Apollo was moody due to a fall.

Volcanoes, earthquakes are no longer scary,

There is no use in the time of destruction.

The frightened have nowhere to hide,

Buried en masse by the rain of stars.

In view of the fact that my great prophecies have come to an end,

The followers of Mihir will know what is wrong. ”

Kirton read the poem word by word. Although the three of them could not fully grasp the meaning of every line of the poem, the sense of fear contained in the poem as a whole revealed its hidden and metaphorical catastrophe, and the three of them were stunned when they read it.

After a long time, Sean came back from his terrifying reverie, he raised his head and asked, "Lu Hua, do you know the specific meaning of each sentence of this poem?" ”

Lu Hua said with a gloomy face: "Can't you see it? This poem is completely different from the previous ones, it predicts the 'last day' of mankind! And that's why it's on the last page - after this day, it's all over, and there's no more! ”

"Ahh ”

Kirton raised his head and looked at Lu Hua and asked, "How do you understand this poem, Lu Hua?" ”

Lu Hua looked at Cotton sadly and said: "This last poem is probably the most straightforward of all poems - there is no ambiguity in understanding at all. Especially when I woke up to the year '12' of the poem, I was convinced of its meaning. ”

“‘12’…… Yes! By the way, '12' refers to 2012! Sean cried out as if he had received some hint.

"2012...... Same as the prophecy of the ancient Mayans. Kirton frowned.

"Hey, wait a minute." Lancey asked confusedly, "What are you talking about?" What ancient Maya? Is there anything special about 2012? ”

Sean looked at Lan Xi in surprise: "You don't know? Don't you watch TV, newspapers, or surf the Internet? ”

"That's what I want to do! But my mom thinks that everything outside of schoolwork is a waste of time, no, a waste of life. That's why almost none of these things in our house are open to me! ”

"You have a sadistic mom." Kirton looked at Lancey sadly and said, "But if this poem is true, you won't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Lancy glared at Kirton fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me quickly...... What the ancient Maya prophecies were all about! ”

Kirton raised his head in Lu Hua's direction: "You better let Lu Hua tell you, he can tell you from the most academic and professional point of view." ”

Lan Qian hurriedly looked at Lu Hua, her eyes full of anticipation. Lu Hua really said in a scientific tone of academic research report, as Cotton introduced: "In 2007, an article was published in the British newspaper "The Observer", which has attracted wide attention and research around the world. In fact, if you type the number '2012' into the search bar on your computer right now, you'll find thousands of people discussing the mysterious 'Mayan prophecy'. ”

Lancy listened intently without blinking an eye.

"The Maya are an ancient tribe that once flourished on the earth, but mysteriously disappeared around the 10th century AD. It represents a magical ancient civilization - about the mysterious culture of the ancient Mayans and their great achievements in astronomy and mathematics, you should learn more about it later, Lancey - I will go straight to the most important part. ”

Lu Hua paused, and then said, "Modern archaeologists have found an ancient document in the Mayan ruins excavated from Mexico. According to this Mayan text, the Earth is destroyed every 3,740 years, and life on Earth has been destroyed four times in the past. In other words, the current human beings are already the fifth generation of children and grandchildren on the earth. The most terrifying thing is that, according to the calculation method of the Mayan calendar in the literature, the ancient Mayans had already calculated the time of the fifth destruction thousands of years ago. ”

Lu Hua stopped, Lan Xi looked at him with bated breath, and after a moment, she asked cautiously, "Is that time 2012?" ”

"December 31, 2012, to be exact." Lu Hua said with a serious expression.

Lancy opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, then looked at Kirton and Sean, and suddenly laughed: "Ah...... I see, it's just a guess and prophecy from the ancients, right? There is no scientific basis for this. ”

"No, Lancy, it's the opposite." Lu Hua said sadly, "Scientists and astronomers have combined the ancient Mayan calendar with modern science to study together, and the result is that the computer has come up with an astonishing data: the sun's magnetic poles are reversed every 3,740 years, and the earth's magnetic field is greatly controlled by the sun's magnetic field." When the Sun's magnetic poles are reversed, the Earth's magnetic poles are reversed, making the Earth's North and South poles swapped! ”

Feeling that her brain couldn't keep up with the spinning, Lancey asked mechanically, "What about ...... So what? ”

"How? Oh, my God! Lu Hua became excited, "At that time, the creatures on the earth will not be able to adapt to the sudden major climate change and die en masse!" The earth's crust can be characterized by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, mudslides, and other phenomena. The most terrifying thing is that the gravity of the Earth will also change, causing some asteroids to fly in the direction of the Earth - the end of the world has truly arrived! You know? Scientists have found that the last time the same phenomenon occurred was when the dinosaurs went extinct – the dinosaurs all perished because of an asteroid hitting the Earth! In the history of modern mankind, there has never been a record of such a phenomenon! ”

Lu Hua gasped and collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes: "It's over, we'll all be finished by then!" ”

Lan Qian stared at Lu Hua dumbfounded, as if she had been scared silly.

Sean put his hand in front of his nose and coughed twice, saying, "Lu Hua, don't scare girls into crying." Let's be optimistic — didn't the newspapers say that — NASA scientists issued a statement saying that magnetic field reversal is only the worst possible scenario, and that it is not inevitable. ”

"That's right, that's what I was optimistic about before." Lu Hua said with blank eyes, "But after I read this prophetic poem about 2012 last night, I knew that everything was over—the poem written by a medieval French prophet was completely consistent with the Mayan prophecy and the speculation of modern scientists—what do you think should be explained by this?" Is it a coincidence? Heh—" he smiled wryly, "I really want to undergo a hypnosis and learn to make a fool of myself." ”

Sean slowly picked up the notebook on the coffee table, carefully compared the verses, and a desperate and helpless look appeared on his face: "Really...... When you say this, I realize that every line of the poem is exactly the same as the content of the Mayan prophecy, and there is almost no need to guess - 'last day' is a pun that signifies the arrival of the end of the world and implies that the time is the last day of 2012 (December 31), and 'Apollo' clearly represents the sun, and his 'fall' is used to describe the reversal of the sun's magnetic poles...... This metaphor is so apt; 'Rain of Stars' must be about several asteroids hitting the Earth - well, except for the last sentence I don't understand what it means...... 'Mihir's followers'...... Lu Hua, do you know what it means? ”

Lu Hua fell on the back of the sofa tiredly, and said weakly: "Sean, I don't want to decipher these verses anymore. Don't you think it's cruel to make too clear how you're going to perish? ”

Sean stopped talking. Lan Xi also had empty eyes and a dull expression, as if their bodies and minds were weighed down by the "doomsday prophecy". Kirton frowned, looked at the three of them next to each other, and suddenly stood up and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you!" Before the day comes, you're all like you've lost your souls—all of you! ”

"I'm afraid I can't, Kirton." Lu Hua shook his head in distress and said, "Knowing that there are less than four years left in my life, what can I do with the spirits?" ”

Kirton stepped forward and pressed Lu Hua's shoulder and shouted, "Don't say such frustrating words again!" Don't you teach us every day how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life? How can it be as if he was sentenced to death by this collection of poems written by ancient people! ”

Sean raised his head and said, "Kirton, how do you explain that you think this prophetic poem is exactly the same as the content of Maya's prophecy?" ”

"And all its previous prophecies were accurate!" Lancey added.

"How do you know that its previous predictions were all accurate and never wrong?" Kirton asked rhetorically, "Speaking of which, we've only confirmed three songs." From the first page of the book, the 80-odd pages from 1913 to 1999, we didn't even translate them, let alone verify them for correctness. Besides, the three years from 2009 to 2011 did not happen at all, so do you know that what happened in the next three years must correspond to the prophetic poems in the book? ”

"So what are we going to do? Ask Lu Hua to translate all the poems corresponding to the 87 years from 1913 to 1999, and then we will verify them one by one? Sean said.

Lu Hua tilted his head and said, "You can find someone else to do this - you want to toss me to death before the end of the world?" ”

Sean waved his hand at him: "That's what I said, how can I really do it?" He turned his head back to Kirton, "But, then again, Kirton—if the same thing happens on the 31st of next month, do you believe all the prophecies in this book of poems are true?" ”

Kirton snorted: "That's not necessarily. The fulfillment of the prophecy of 2009 means that the prophecy of 2012 will also be fulfilled? Nostradamus is a well-known prophet, his book of "The Centuries" has a 99% success rate, but his most famous prediction - the destruction of the world in 1999 - has now proved to be not accurate. It can be seen that such a thing as 'the end of the world' cannot be easily predicted! ”

Maybe it's because what Kirton said makes sense, Sean and Lancy's mental conditions have changed significantly, and even Lu Hua, who was stuck on the sofa, sat up straight, and they all looked at Kirton. Lancy asked, "So what do we do now?" Ignore this 'doomsday prophecy'? ”

Kirton shook his head and said, "Of course it won't work. We now have to do everything we can to determine how likely this 'doomsday prophecy' is to be fulfilled. If we find out that the 'Doomsday Prophecy' is really possible, we should find a way to notify the government and the country so that everyone can be prepared to take precautions! ”

Sean asked, confused, "But I can't think of any other way to tell if this prophecy is true than waiting until December 31, 2012 to know what the outcome will be?" ”

Kirton looked at his three friends and said, "I think we should do one thing first – don't you notice that our focus has always been on these poems and the events they map, while ignoring the very important question of who wrote these poems?" ”
