Chapter 2 Is the End Coming?
When the familiar music ended, the most famous beautiful female host in the news industry on TV raised her head slightly, revealing her signature smile, of course, in Yi Xi's keen eyes, the panic under the beautiful host's smile did not decrease much.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Later Tang Empire, good morning, I am Wen Jing, and the following is an urgent news, the asteroid named God of War with the number 4179 will pass the Earth on December 22, 2012, Chang'an Standard Time, and the straight-line distance from the Earth is only 900,000 kilometers, according to the scientists of many countries in the world," the beautiful host said subconsciously, with a hint of resentment in her tone, "and the calculations of astronomy enthusiasts all over the world, the distance of 900,000 kilometers, More than 99 percent of the Earth's gravitational pull pulls the meteorite into the Earth's orbit and hits the Earth. ”
"According to calculations, the power of this impact will be 2,000 times the power of the atomic bomb dropped by the American Empire on Fuso in 1945, but," Speaking of this, the beautiful host Wen Jing smiled again, "Please rest assured that everyone in front of the TV is not telling you that the end of the world is coming, on the contrary, but telling everyone that with the current science and technology of Gaia Star, before the God of War planet approaches the earth, we can use space-based directional weapons to smash it into pieces, Through the burning of the atmosphere, the 'God of War' does not pose the slightest threat to Gaia, and the TV stations of the whole world will broadcast the whole scene live on that day, when everyone in front of the TV may enjoy the most beautiful meteor shower since the beginning of the 21st century. ”
After finishing the manuscript in his hand, Wen Jing continued, "Regarding the legend of the end of the world that has become more and more popular on the Internet recently, it is pure nonsense, we believe that nothing in the world is eternal, but the end will definitely not be in this century, at least, since the seventies of the twentieth century, after we humans have mastered space-based weapons, with the joint cooperation of the five major powers of the United Nations, the threat of asteroids to mankind has been zero, this time this matter will be reported, It is also because there are some ill-intentioned elements who want to take this opportunity to create chaos, after all, being able to observe, calculate the orbit of the God of War asteroid, most astronomy enthusiasts are able to do it, the most final, I wish all the viewers in front of the TV a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance, of course, December 22nd, we will see you and see you again"
"Heh," after the news ended, the TV screen jumped back to the previous comedy of Mr. Bean of the British Empire, Yi Xi, who was leaning against the wall, couldn't help but chuckle, of course, his chuckle was not because of Mr. Bean's comedy, but the previous news, in fact, he guessed that not only the Later Tang Empire, but also the entire world of the world broadcast this news for about the same amount of time before and after, the purpose is to fear that someone will disrupt the order of the world world through this disaster that is not a disaster to achieve some goals, in Yi Xi's opinion, Human beings are the best creatures in this world, just like the world's salt rush caused by the explosion of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Fuso at the beginning of the year.
-----------
Late at night, Yi Xi, who kept vigil for his brother Yi Xing for three days and placed it in the cemetery, was already exhausted, but he still took a shower before coming to his study, as a man with a habit of cleanliness, conditions permitted, not taking a bath for three days is already his limit, perhaps because of the long-term use of shampoo fragrance, if he does not take a bath for more than two days, Yi Xi will feel itchy all over, and he will make a self-amusing gesture in the mirror with his emaciated figure, By the way, he rubbed his short gray and white hair, and then walked to sit at the desk.
"Hiss~" lit a cigarette for himself, and took a long puff, Yi Xi felt that his body finally belonged to him, the reason was very simple, for some reason, Yi Xi was a vegetarian, he had no way to eat meat, let alone eat, and even just seeing meat would make him feel disgusting, naturally speaking, his body would not be much better if he lacked exercise, he could keep the spirit for three days without fainting, to be honest, Yi Xi himself admired himself a little, for a long time, he crushed the cigarette butt in his hand behind the ashtray, Yi Xi staggered and took out a black notebook about the size of A4 paper from the drawer.
I opened the notebook, and there was a line written in a pen on the title page. Family death record', and then the next page is not a text, but a line chart similar to a family tree, the top is his grandfather, Yi Anren, and the bottom is the branch of the Yi family, a total of three sons, three daughters, and then the following is the respective family of each son and daughter, the X represents that the person is dead, after sighing slightly, Yi Xi picked up the pen and typed a bright red X on the name of his uncle's brother, Yi Xing, and here, the Yi family is still alive direct blood relatives (the so-called direct blood relatives here mean that they are descendants bred by the men of the Yi family, like Yi Xi's second aunt and third aunt's children, whether male or female, are not considered direct blood relatives of the Yi family) There are only the second uncle, the second aunt, the third aunt, himself, and the daughter of the second uncle, that is, the cousin.
The content behind the line chart is the time of death of each Yi Xi's relatives, the way of death, and their relationship with the Yi family, turning to the latest page, Yi Xi recorded his brother Yi Xing's affairs on this, he is not doing this is a special hobby, even if Yi Xi **, there will be no such idea of making fun of his dead relatives, in fact, Yi Xi has always believed in one thing, that is, the Yi family has been cursed, and only a curse can prove all this, Because from the beginning to the present, all the dead people in the Yi Xi family, his parents, grandfather, uncle, uncle's son, and aunt, all died (unnatural deaths, diseases, accidents), and only his second uncle, second aunt, and third aunt have never had a situation in the entire family.
That's why he set out to record everything, hoping to find any clues from it, if there is a slight possibility, or even crack this curse, after all, there is no normal person in the world who wants to die early, and the reason why Yi Xi still firmly believes that there is a pseudo-scientific thing like a curse in the world in the twenty-first century is not because he has seen too many deaths that cause him to be insane, but because Yi Xi has an ability that outsiders don't know.
It's like a superpowered person recorded in a movie or novel, in a sense, Yi Xi is also a mutant, but his ability is more special, that is, he can communicate with inorganic things with 'spirituality', of course, the communication here is not like the anthropomorphism in anime film and television works, such as talking to a rock or something, but a kind of perception, perceiving everything that this inorganic thing with 'spirituality' has experienced, and getting the information he wants from it, as for the so-called' What 'spirituality' means, Yi Xi himself doesn't know, this is just his own general term for the unique attributes of that type of inorganic matter.
And because of the particularity of this family, after several deaths, Yi Xi has become mature at a young age, knows how to protect himself, and he has always been cautious He knows that before he has the ability to protect this ability, he will never say a word more to the outside world, because he firmly believes that in addition to him, there are definitely other similar people in this world, at least from the perspective of probability, so in the case of not knowing the source of this ability, be careful, there is nothing wrong with it, The bridge in science fiction of being captured and sliced or something, is not impossible to achieve.
Just like the jade exotic beast Pixiu inherited from his grandmother on his neck, in the eyes of outsiders, even if it is scientifically identified, it is just a worthless stall, but Yi Xi can perceive the wind and frost years that this jade has endured, and that feeling is as distant as if it has experienced dozens of centuries, but because of some reasons that Yi Xi does not know, he can only perceive the distance of this strange beast, but he can't perceive everything it has experienced, which is different from other things he usually encounters. But this proves that this jade beast is extraordinary, Yi Xi, who has read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels, can only comfort himself on the grounds that it is too old and his current ability is insufficient, and even sometimes he has imagined that his ability can be developed in a complete sense, at least, to make his life better, on the basis of secrecy.
However, at this moment, Yi Xi did not pay attention to his ability, nor did he go to online TV to watch the most popular satellite live broadcast of the meteorite, but put all his attention on the black notebook, the second uncle, because the aunt's family is in other provinces, and he has nothing to worry about, so he became an inverted son-in-law, and transferred the household registration to his aunt's house, the second aunt, the third aunt, married before the age of twenty, only the eldest aunt died when she was not married, and looked back and forth a few times The content of the notes, After muttering a few words, Yi Xi found that he seemed to know something terrible.
"Could it be that this curse is only for people within the Yi family?" Yi Xi, who was leaning on the bench, lit a cigarette for himself and reorganized his somewhat confused thoughts, "In other words, it is very likely that in the past year, grandpa or grandpa's father's generation offended someone like me, but that person's ability is a curse, so the people in the Yi family have been subjected to this inexplicable curse for generations?" ”
"Moreover," Yi Xi laughed a few times with some self-deprecation, "According to the current genealogy, I'm afraid I'm the last person in the Yi family, in this case, whether this inference is true or not, there is no need to tell the second uncle, anyway, it doesn't make any sense, and if you don't get it, you will be scolded by the second uncle!" Naturally, Yi Xi is referring to the 21st century, the era of the information explosion, most people are scornful of supernatural things, including his relatives.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, Yi Xi, who has the ability to be in his body, has actually been very afraid in his heart for so many years, afraid that he will one day be like his relatives, be accidental, and be taken away by disease, in fact, no one will have imaginary calmness in the face of death, so when he deduced how to save himself, most of the psychological pressure that has been there disappeared in an instant, as if a helpless person grabbed a life-saving straw, although from the bottom of his heart, Yi Xi was not sure about his inference, but it was better than nothing, so he had a slight smile on his face this time, who had never been smiling.
"Smack!" After locking the notebook back into the drawer, Yi Xi slowly stood up, and his somewhat stiff body made a creaking sound, "Hehe, curse, it seems that if you want to live, you need to learn from the second uncle, find a woman as soon as possible, and marry yourself, but before that, I have to buy a house before I can do it this year, and I have to fucking bring the house to the house, grass!" It's time to use this gift from God. ”
