Next Chapter

The year 1977 carries the yearning of human beings for the unknown world, with respect and awe for the vast sky. For the first time, humanity has the ability to give the unknown in the universe a small gift from earthlings. It's like getting a perfect score in the primary school exam and desperately wanting to tell her mother's feelings, so the two "sisters" set sail.

Voyager 1 and 2 were launched, and the two sister probes flew along two different orbits. It is tasked with detecting the outer planets of the solar system. The plutonium batteries carried by Voyager 1 and its sister ship, Voyager 2, will last until around 2025. When the battery runs out, they stop working and continue to move towards the center of the galaxy. Wrapped in the blessings and longing of the earthlings for the universe.

"It is a gift from a tiny planet far away, it is the epitome of our voices, science, images, music, thoughts and feelings, this sound of the earth is meant to give us hope, our determination and our good wishes for the distant world in this vast and awe-inspiring universe. We are trying to live our time and enter your time. ”

In the year 2037 A.D., in the south, on an April day, the catkins in the sky are as violent as heavy snow.

"I'll treat you to dinner in the evening, Xiaowei." Qiming suddenly said to the girl in the back seat.

The girl in the back seat was Qiming's high school classmate, and later coincidentally admitted to the same university, and now she works in the same city. The two were friends who talked almost everything, and out of respect for each other, neither broke the deadlock. The two have been in love a few times in college, but then they all fell in love, and they became the objects of confiding in each other, everyone thought they would become a couple, but they were very tacit and never had a relationship beyond friendship.

Xiaowei, who looked at the flying flakes outside the window, fell into deep thought, and did not hear Qiming speak.

Qiming turned around angrily, "Hey, what can I talk to you?" ”

"Ah, what?" Xiaowei, who was interrupted, looked at Qiming apologetically.

"Oh, it's nothing, just treat you to dinner in the evening."

"Why?" Xiaowei asked.

Qiming was suddenly stunned, and then said eagerly: "Where are there so many whys, do you still need a reason to invite you to dinner?" I'll introduce you to my new girlfriend. ”

Xiaowei was suddenly stunned, and then said eagerly: "I don't know when it happened." ”

He added: "Yes, you, congratulations." Let's talk about it in the evening, I may work overtime, but I have a lot of time to eat anyway. After that, he opened the car door and prepared to get out of the car.

"What's the extra shift, you have to come today anyway, I'll pick you up in the evening, so it's decided." After saying that, Qiming drove the car and left.

Xiaowei, who got out of the car, stood in place in a daze, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes were a little moist, she hurriedly raised her head to look at the hundreds of meters tall building where she worked, trying not to let the tears overflow, but in the end it still fell, fortunately, the catkins kept passing by. Pretending to be catkins in her eyes, she took out the toilet paper in her bag and wiped her eyes. Suddenly, I saw the gift box in my bag, opened it and looked at the men's watch inside. She walked over to the trash can, placed the gift box on the trash can and turned to leave. Suddenly, she ran back, put the gift box back in her bag, and stepped into the company building.

After Qi Ming left, he dialed the phone number of the city's most exclusive revolving restaurant in the sky.

"Mr. Qiming, is there anything else you need to order?"

"It's nothing, it's windy today, the clouds aren't very much, and you can see the sky full of stars. Can you help me pick a location by the window? ”

"How many of you are?"

"Two, only two, please help, tonight is very important to me."

"Yes, Mr. Qiming. We found here, there is also a two-person seated seat, then I will help you book."

"Okay, thank you so much"

"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to serve you"

The sun is setting, accompanied by the strong wind, countless catkins are as eager as the bustling group of people who have just gotten off work. There were several stars twinkling in the sky, the brightest being Sirius or Venus.

"Didi, Didi" Qiming eagerly honked the horn, and the traffic flow in the evening rush hour after work was huge. Qiming, who turned a corner and arrived downstairs at Xiaowei, had been blocked for more than ten minutes.

Finally turned around, and Qiming saw that Xiaowei had just gone downstairs to the door.

Suddenly! A Rolls-Royce that had just driven to the door exploded. The resulting huge explosion spread to a distance of 100 meters.

"Nope! Xiaowei," Qiming roared hoarsely. Hurriedly opened the car door and wanted to ......

Everything seems to stand still!

The zither track of "Mountains and Flowing Water" suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone was immersed in this ancient music, purifying the hearts of all human beings like the sound of heaven. In an instant, the sky became clear. It is not the yellow color of the sun's rays, but the pure white light spreads all over the sky, and it is impossible to find where the light source is, and it seems that the whole sky is densely covered with light sources. Time began to go backwards, and the explosion began to retract, becoming smaller and smaller into particles of light and floating into the sky. No! It's definitely not going back in time, it's just an explosion that retracts back. Everyone was stunned, "Mountains and Flowing Water" continued to wash the hearts of human beings, as if human beings had returned to the beginning of their birth. All things are accompanied by human beings, and they are separated from the hustle and bustle of the city, and they can reach out and touch the vast mountains, rivers and lakes.

Suddenly, Qiming came to his senses. Hurriedly ran towards Xiaowei.

Xiaowei's face was pale and weak. Frightened, she was not attracted by the sound of heaven. I just froze in place.

Qiming ran to her frantically and hugged her. Tears couldn't stop flowing, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

Xiaowei also slowly raised her hand, wanting to hug him tightly, but she couldn't exert any strength at all.

After Qiming finished speaking, he put his hand in his pocket and took out the prepared necklace and wanted to bring it to Xiaowei.

"Be my daughter...... Qiming saw that his hands were covered with blood.

Xiaowei slowly fell, Qiming stood in place, tears could not be suppressed, and came out of her eyes again. The necklace in his hand fell to the ground. Qiming hugged Xiaowei, and Xiaowei's back was deeply embedded with a piece of glass.

Xiaowei said with difficulty, "There's no way to go to meet your girlfriend with you, in fact, I've always liked you, but I don't dare to confess, I want to be ...... in my next life."

Xiaowei closed her tired eyes and fell asleep forever, holding the men's watch tightly in her hand.

Qiming didn't want to say a word, just hugged Xiaowei in a daze, and hugged it tightly.

With the end of "Mountains and Flowing Water".

A majestic and gentle voice rang in everyone's ears.

People began to hallucinate in front of their eyes, it was the person they loved the most, some were their deceased fathers, some were elderly mothers, some were distant lovers, and what Qiming saw was Xiaowei who he saw on the first day of high school.

The voices of mothers, fathers, and lovers rang out: "I have received this little gift, a planet that has given birth to countless lives, and its beauty is like the most dazzling diamond of mankind. Now I, the third generation of stars in the universe, the Lord of the Heavenly Desolation have officially declared the earth my territory. In order to prevent you from destroying my precious gifts, I have confiscated all the weapons of destruction here. I'm going to make a change here and add species that I collected a long time ago......"

Suddenly, the Heavenly Desolation Lord stopped talking.

All the creatures of the earth were moved to tears of joy and bowed down to their new masters, new gods.

Only Qiming hugged Xiaowei blankly.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and Qiming vanished. The white light in the sky also disappeared, and the brightest thing in the sky was still the one that didn't know Sirius or Venus, and the catkins swept wildly in the sky, and Xiaowei lay quietly in a pool of blood on the ground. People gathered around, lamenting that she had not entered a new era.

And the disappearance of Qiming did not show the slightest trace......

Last night's starry sky was still the same, but things were different.
