On the mountain road at night, the villagers held red candles in their hands, and the candlelight stretched for several kilometers, and Kai Ming and Anqi followed the team and followed the trail up the mountain.

"Where are we going?" Angel thumped her thigh, and she had been walking for fifteen minutes.

"The altar at the top of the mountain. Kemin replied.

The group reached the top of the mountain, where there was a high platform made of logs, about seven meters high, and everyone climbed up through a long bamboo ladder to put food on the altar. Angel climbed to the top, looked down, the surging heads shrunk into small dots, the wind blew her long hair, her body swayed, and she quickly put a chicken on the altar.

In addition to the various sacrifices put by the villagers, there are also a large number of animal bones, which are crisscrossed and one meter high.

She didn't dare to look any more and walked down the bamboo ladder back to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Kai Ming saw that her face was blue and her lips were white, and he came over to ask.

At this time, the village chief began to read the prayer, and everyone listened silently, "In the distant past, when the heavens and the earth were in dire straits, the tengu descended on the earth to bring us the will of the gods, and in gratitude for its gifts, we now offer sacrifices and our most sincere prayers. ”

Angel looked at the people around her, closed her eyes and muttered, her elbow poked Kaiming, "Is there really a tengu in your village?"

"Myths can't be taken seriously. He replied, and was stared at by the aunt next to him.

When only Kaiming was left with his eyes open, he saw a man in a black robe appear in the crowd, followed by a skinless dog, turning and walking towards the back of the group.

He looked at Angel beside him, who was learning to pray, so he left the group alone and followed.

The black-robed man walked down a path, all around him in pitch black, the moon hidden in the dark clouds, and the sizzling of insects in the grass suddenly stopped. Kaiming didn't dare to get too close, and followed behind ten meters away.

There was a cliff ahead, and the man had no way to go, so he stopped. The puppy walked up to Kemin and circled around his feet, two white eyes staring at him.

Kai Ming followed it and walked behind the black-robed man, "Are you going to destroy this world?"

The man looked at the sky and said, "I can't destroy this world. ”

"So who's going to do that?"

"What do they say?"

"The alien said it was a man with a gold necklace. ”

"Where's the gold necklace?"

"The museum. Kai Ming was stunned for a moment, "You mean that the ultimate owner of the necklace will destroy the world?" I always thought that the black-robed man who brought the necklace was the murderer, but now I found that this was a misunderstanding.

"No one can stop the end of the world. ”

"Even if you have great powers, you can't?"

He didn't answer.

"There must be a reason why you're here. Kemin said.

"Instead of worrying about the end of the world in the future, let's get through tonight's crisis. ”

"Tonight's crisis?"

The black-robed man pointed to the sky, where the moon had already revealed its clouds, taking on a crimson color.

"The smog was so bad that even the moon changed color. ”

"It's nothing to do with smog, it's going to be the longest total lunar eclipse in history, and a catastrophe is looming. ”

Kai Ming scratched the back of his head, "What's so terrible about a lunar eclipse is that the earth blocks the light of the moon." ”

"This lunar eclipse will last for twenty hours, and not only will the moon lose its brilliance, but even the earth will be in eternal darkness. It swallows up all the light of the sky, leaving the earth with nothing but ice and death. ”

"What is it?"

"The Tengu, a bloodthirsty monster that sleeps in the deepest depths of darkness and comes out every trillion years to feed, is an ancient creature that has never seen sunlight because its cycle of activity overlaps with the longest lunar eclipse, and has a strong curiosity about all that can be seen. It relies on one eye on its forehead to sense light, instinctively killing all living beings that shine. ”

"Sounds fantastical, what can we do to avoid it?"

"Stay away from all light. ”

Kaiming shrugged, "It's pretty simple, it's safe without the lights." ”

The black-robed man turned to him, the corners of his mouth curled, "Believe me, you can't even do such a simple thing. ”

"What will a twenty-hour total lunar eclipse look like?"

"The last time this vision appeared, it led to a mass extinction of the dinosaurs. He said.

"What!"

The moon began to be swallowed up by the darkness, and the darkness that formed spread from mountain to mountain, stretching towards the mountain village, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two of them.

"Remember, stay away from all light. After the black-robed man finished speaking, he was swallowed up by the shadows. Even if he was not a meter away, Kaiming couldn't even see him, his hand reached into the darkness, and disappeared.

The shadows spread, and he turned and ran along the path.

The sound of hurried footsteps disturbed everyone's prayers, and everyone looked at the man who had mixed in with the group.

"Kaiming!" Angel opened her eyes to find that he was no longer around, and was in the middle of everyone's watching.

On the other side of the globe, in Washington State, USA, Patch sits in his office with a pipe in his mouth and reads papers. Suddenly there was a whooping sound outside, he left the table, propped up the blinds, and a group of people gathered below the office building, looking up at the sky, the sun was being swallowed by a dark shadow.

"Damn, what's all the fuss about a solar eclipse?"

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" a man pushed the door open and entered. However, for an ordinary intelligence officer, it seems too reckless to break into the boss's office with such a swagger.

"What's the matter?" Patch left the window and returned to his desk.

"Just received an order from the president. "The intelligence officer will award an order, and the lower right corner is indeed the president's autograph, because the last letter M has a long tail hook, which can be seen at a glance as a handsome penmanship of Mr. President.

Patch picked up the paper and looked at it, "National emergency." "It was only during the Cuban nuclear bomb crisis that the order was used, and the whole United States entered a state of first order.

Without saying a word, the intelligence officer picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the TV in the office, and the news was playing on the screen, "Urgent news report, the National Space Administration announced to the public, a black hole is between the earth and the sun, and it will suck up all the light and heat that is sent to the earth." Here's an interview with NASA experts:

Reporter: Why did a black hole suddenly appear in the solar system, and NASA didn't know anything about it and didn't give a warning in advance?

Expert: Black hole is a mysterious celestial body, which previously only existed in theory, until today, human beings have not observed its existence for the first time, it does not emit light or heat, it has a strong gravitational pull, even light and sound will be sucked into it, and observing its existence is a world problem.

Reporter: Why did it suddenly appear near the Earth?

Expert: Because it can't be observed, we don't know its trajectory, maybe it orbits the sun like Mars Earth, because of the long orbit, it took hundreds of millions of years to reach the solar system once, and it took us a long time to discover its existence. ”

Reporter: What will be the impact of black holes on the Earth?

Expert: Thankfully, the Earth won't be sucked in due to the distance, but its strong gravitational pull will suck the sun's light and heat in, and we'll be unseen for twenty hours before it leaves.

Reporter: You're saying we're going to spend twenty hours in the dark?

Expert: That's right, but humans have electric lights, thermal power, hydropower, and even nuclear power, and you can light a candle even if you don't have electricity at home.

Reporter: Then we can rest assured.

Expert: No, our situation is not rosy at all. When there is no sunlight, the earth quickly cools down to minus 80 degrees Celsius and enters a frozen state, which is also known as the legendary ice age, which some experts believe was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs. The gravitational pull of a black hole affects the tilt of the Earth's axis, and the climate varies.

Reporter: What should we do?

Expert: Stay at home, try to maintain the indoor temperature, and wait for the sunrise.

That's it for this urgent news report......"

The agent turned off the TV and turned his gaze to his boss, Patch frowned and smoked his pipe.

At this time, the light outside the window began to dim, and the two turned around, and there was only a little light left in the sky, and when the light went out, the shadow covered their eyes.

"Run. Kemin gasped and said, everyone shushed each other.

"Let's go, the sacrifice has just begun. The village chief walked out of the crowd and looked him up and down with small eyes, "Who are you? ”

At this time, the aunt walked up to Kaiming and explained to the village chief: "His name is Kaiming, he is from this village, and he moved to the city when he was a child. ”

The village chief touched his head, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Oh, you are Lao Kai's son, the rebel who followed his mother to the city to enjoy happiness, regardless of whether his father lived or died." ”

Kaiming looked at the gray-haired old man and said, "you." ”

The village chief's eyebrows twitched, "What are you talking about? ”

Kai Ming pushed him away and walked in front of the villagers, "Listen to me, it's dangerous here, hurry up and go home." ”

Everyone stood still, or looked at the village chief, ignoring the stranger's words.

The village chief walked up to Kai Ming, crossed his fat waist and said, "Warn you, don't make trouble here, if you make trouble again, I will tie you up and take you back to the village." ”

When Anqi heard this, he came over and wanted to pull Kai Ming away, but he didn't take a step back, and the village chief puffed out his cheeks and said, "Come on, tie him up." ”

Two men approached Kemin from the left and right, and at that moment, someone pointed to the opposite hill and said, "Look, over there." ”

As he had hoped, the peaks and trees on the other side were gone, replaced by dark shadows, and the moon in the night sky was only a little light.

"What the hell is going on?" the villagers saw this vision and talked about it.

"Tengu Eats the Moon!"

"Oh my God, we offended it. ”

"It will eat everything on the earth. ”

Kaiming walked up to the crowd and said, "Run for your life, if you don't leave, it'll be too late." ”

The village chief rushed over, grabbed him by the collar and said, "You must have disrupted the festival and offended the gods." ”

The moon disappeared in the night sky, and there was an exclamation on the hill, leaving only the villagers with candles in their hands.

rumble

With a loud bang, the mountain began to collapse, and pieces of black rocks rolled down, knocking some of the villagers to the bottom of the mountain.

In the candlelight, a stone beast rose from the mud, standing on all fours, curved claws, long stone water chestnut horns lined up on its neck, the slit on its forehead opened left and right, and the one-eyed with a black halo looked down on everyone.
